A steady stream of people flitted into the tavern and to most of them Steeple payed no mind, drinking his water absentmindedly as the proprietor didn't much like people bringing in their own beverages. However soon the people that meandered through the doors began to become more interesting, Old men with their pets, dogs and ghouls, a super mutant, a man with a particularly swish set of armor and finally, a rather red headed woman with an eyebot bobbing around behind her. As she entered, Steeple's gaze and then his head turned to follow her, She was a particularly nice bird, though Steeple knew that there was no one for him other than the woman sleeping above his head. 

   Down the last of the radioactive water, he tossed the carton aside and rejoined the rabble inside the establishment, and just in time for the shouting. The particular red head that had caught his interest was now on stage, 'Oh goody.' Steeple thought to himself, 'Another Canary.' crossing the room to return upstairs he stopped in his tracks, the canary started to tweet but it wasn't singing. Turning his attention to her fully, there was much back and forth between her and the crowd. At first he thought no one would take her up on her offer, from what a particularity rotting ghoul was saying she wasn't having much luck with her endeavours as of late. Though as people gathered around her, including the mutant, it seemed more and more likely that this time she would succeed.

   Steeple approached the group, the various bits in his rucksack jingling against each other.  

   "Hey Canary, I'll take you up on your offer," he called over the heads of the people around her, "The original offer." The way Steeple saw it, people were willing to take the job and he wasn't confused as to why, she was offering a lot caps. So he had to ensure his place on this little venture, the hundred extra caps were not a significant loss compared to the thousand he would make, he didn't have much need for food and the only kind of ammo he bought was dirt cheap. 

   "A thousand sounds just dandy."
