Just a quick thing happy New year everyone

Curie: Curie watches with furrowed brows as Sole carefully rewires a busted radio, "How can you tell where the wires are meant to be connected? Why are they not color coordinated? Where did you learn this?" Sole grins at their inquisitive companion, "Wow, you're very Curie-ous." Curie's frowns and cocks her head to the side, "Curious? I do not under- oooooh, Curie-ous! Like my name! Wonderful pun, Madame/Monsieur." She may not always get the puns immediately, but she enjoys Sole's humor nonetheless. After a while, she begins making her own puns while travelling about, but they never make the most sense. Regardless, her efforts never cease to make Sole laugh.

Cait: Cait grimaces at the sight of the gore around her, thoroughly hating Pickman's Gallery, "Fuck's sake, this place is a dump." Sole chuckles as they remove the 'Picnic for Stanley' painting, "Aw c'mon Cait, everything's got its deathflaws."Cait scowls at Sole, but her small grin struggles to peak through. She cringes with every pun Sole makes, but she can't help but find it amusing. She likes that Sole has a sense of humor and doesn't mind indulging them.

Danse: Danse lowers his laser rifle as the last feral falls to its death. Danse turns to Sole, assessing them for injuries, "You alright?" Sole nods and gives a thumbs up, "Yep, and it looks like we just nailed another Prydwin." Danse deadpans and peers at Sole, "You're exhausting." He doesn't dislike their puns per say, he just doesn't want to give them the satisfaction of him laughing at them. Little does he know, it just makes Sole more relentless.

Deacon (This is actually an edited excerpt from a fanfic I've been working on): Sole juts a finger into Deacon's chest causing him to look down at the prodding digit in confusion. He immediately regrets doing so however, because as soon as he does they flick their finger upwards and tap his nose, "Made ya look, you egg." Deacon huffs out a surprised laugh, "Did you just call me an egg? You know what, omelet this one slide." Sole barks out their genuine laugh, causing Deacon to stand a little taller with pride, "Oh man, I'm boiling over that pun right now." Deacon grins and quickly snatches a can of purified water from beside him, "Boiling you say? Then here, you must be poached." Deacon adores the fact that he has a partner that he gan go back and forth with puns with. One pun turns into a battle and before they know it, everyone around them is at their throats.

Hancock: Hancock's attention is distracted from sharpening his knife, to inspect why Sole just huffed out a mischievous laugh, "Do I even want to know?" Sole grins and points languidly at him, "You, my friend, are radical." Hancock smirks and rolls his obsidian eyes, "Nice, you must be running out of material." Sole scoffs and Hancock shakes his head. He is rather indifferent to puns. He's just happy if Sole is happy. He may indulge a pun or two sometimes and they're always pro.

MacCready: Mac grunts in frustration with Sole and glares at them, "You have that look. You're about to say something stupid." Sole just grins back and nods, "Yep, so you remember when I hired you and tried to bargain the price but you wouldn't budge? Man, you were really MacGreedy." Mac groans and face palms. He cringes with every single pun. Rarely ever is he able to enjoy their puns because they're normally aimed towards him.

Nick: Nick scowls at Sole and shakes his head, "Absolutely not! You are not going to Quincy alone! If you do, you're going to get yourself killed." Sole sneers, but then suddenly it turns into a wicked grin. Nick arches a brow, most of his tension dwindling in confusion, "What?" Sole shrugs, "Nothing, it's just sometimes you can be a real Dick Valentine." Nick deadpans, pinching the bridge of his nose, "You are ridiculous." Nick usually doesn't mind all of the ridiculous puns, unless they're used against him. He finds them amusing on any other occasion though.

Piper: Piper sifts through the pile of debris cluttering the house her and Sole are looting. She groans in annoyance and throws a piece of wood in frustration. Sole walks over in curiosity and peers over Piper's shoulder, "Wow, freedom of the mess am I right?" Piper whips her head around and glares daggers at Sole, "I swear to Atom, Blue." She is beyond irked by puns at times, and then other times she adores them so it's really a gamble for how she'll react.
But she otherwise doesn't mind them.

Preston: Sole pulls the trigger and kills the last feral in the comic book store they're clearing out. Sole and Preston heave with exhaustion. Sole takes in a deep breath and Preston prepares himself, "I don't mean to be hubris, but I just wrecked that feral." Preston grins and nods appreciatively, "Good one, General." He honestly doesn't ever get sick of puns, it helps keep him reminded that Sole isn't just his General but an individual as well. He loves to see them grin with every pun, he thinks they deserve the occasional comedic relief.

X6-88: Sole walks up to X6 and pinches some of X6's jacket in between their thumb and forefinger, "What is this made of? Is it organic or synthetic material?" Sole grins and beams at X6, proud of their work. X6 turns to them and without missing a beat responds, "Boyfriend material." Sole's grin is instantly wiped off their face and X6 strides away, smirking with pride. Sole sputters and goes to catch up to X6, "Hey! You're not allowed to out weird me!" X6 doesn't mind the puns, but makes it his personal goal to make Sole never want to say them again.
