Micky (Fallout 3)

Micky is a water beggar outside Megaton .
==Background==
Driven slightly demented by lack of sustenance, and fearful of his life after a narrow escape from the raider gang holed up in the Springvale school, Micky made it to the entrance of Megaton by late 2277 and began begging for water, specifically purified water, as he is so sickly that he cannot drink irradiated water any more without vomiting.The Lone Wanderer: "Will any water do?"Micky: ""(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "All I have is irradiated water."Micky: "I've been drinking whatever I can find, but I can't do it anymore. I need purified water. Please... if you find any..."(Micky's dialogue) However, Megaton only gives water to its residents, or those that can pay for it.The Lone Wanderer: "What is this place? Some kind of city?"Micky: "It's Megaton. Have you been living in a hole or something? Everyone's heard of Megaton. They have plenty of water in there, but they only give it to residents... or people who can pay for it."(Micky's dialogue)
Micky remains hopeful that someone will be kind enough to give him water.Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition, p. 85: "MickyDriven slightly demented by lack of sustenance, and fearful of his life after a narrow escape from a Raider party holed up in a nearby school, Micky has set up a begging station at the entrance to Megaton. Through the haze of dehydration, he remains hopeful that a water caravan or kindly stranger will cross his path."(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census) Truthfully, that is his only hope, as he is out of caps and so could not possibly buy water.The Lone Wanderer: "All I have is irradiated water."Micky: "I've been drinking whatever I can find, but I can't do it anymore. I need purified water."(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Here. Have this Purified Water."Micky: "You mean... you don't want anything for it? I don't have any caps or anything... I can just have it? For free?"(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "Here. Have this Purified Water."Micky: "You... are you serious? I can't offer anything in exchange, you know? I can just have it? For free?"(Micky's dialogue) Even the Brotherhood of Steel's water caravans would not simply hand out Aqua Pura to wasteland beggars.The Lone Wanderer: "The Brotherhood of Steel is giving away Aqua Pura. Why don't you drink that?"Micky: ""(Micky's dialogue) Though he is jaded by his experiences,The Lone Wanderer: "What, just give it to you? Hell no."Micky: "I knew it was too good to be true... there are no good souls in the Wasteland. Go. Just leave me alone to die..."(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "What, just give it to you? Hell no."Micky: "I... I understand. You have to look out for yourself. "(Micky's dialogue) he will be very grateful for any help given.The Lone Wanderer: "I insist, my friend. It's the least I can do to help."Micky: "Really? Seriously? My God. Thank you. Thank you so much. I'll never forget this!"(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I insist, my friend. It's the least I can do to help."Micky: "Water... precious water... thank you! You're a saint!"(Micky's dialogue)The Lone Wanderer: "I insist, my friend. It's the least I can do to help."Micky: "My... thank you. Thank you so much. You've saved my life. Bless you."(Micky's dialogue)
==Interactions with the player character==
===Interactions overview===
===Quests===
* Water Beggars: The Lone Wanderer may give Micky purified water (and Aqua Pura, during Broken Steel) for a small amount of good Karma.
* Holy Water: During the quest, Micky will be replaced by a character named as a generic water beggar (who has the same appearance, inventory, and stats), regardless of whether Micky is already dead or not. Approaching Megaton's entrance from outside will cause a scene to play in which Rosa, a well-meaning wastelander, gives him water that she did not realize had been irradiated by the Apostles of the Eternal Light, killing him.Micky: ""Rosa Meitner: ""Micky: ""Rosa Meitner: ""Micky: ""(Micky's and Rosa Meitner's dialogue)Rosa Meitner: ""The Lone Wanderer: "Slow down. What happened here?"Rosa Meitner: ""The Lone Wanderer: "It's okay. You couldn't have known."Rosa Meitner: " He gave me this pamphlet along with the water. Called himself Brother Gerard. You can find him on the road through Springvale. I don't know if it'll help, but I don't know what else I can do."(Rosa Meitner's dialogue)
** Micky's death scene can be avoided entirely if the player fast travels straight into Megaton and progresses the quest by collecting a holy water pamphlet, or if they head directly to the Holy Light Monastery and speak to Brother Gerard. Provided that the water beggar is still alive at the end of the quest, and Micky was alive before the quest started, the regular version of Micky will return after the quest ends.
===Effects of player's actions===
* Like the other beggars, Micky will die if given Aqua Pura, infected with the modified FEV or not. If one explicitly refuses to give him water (in conversation), he will die the next time the area is loaded.
* If Megaton is destroyed, Micky disappears from the game.
