Once Upon A Wasteland: A Fallout Story

Once upon a time, twenty-seven years after the bombs fell, there were two people: a Vault Dweller and a California girl. They met, and sparks flew. That’s when things got interesting. This is their story. Join us as we follow the story of Elizabeth Kirby and Odessa Valdez – the spy and the Scribe – as they search for their “happily ever after” in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 76. Their love affair blossoms as they race against the clock to try to solve a mystery that threatens not only the future of Appalachia, but the rest of what remains of civilization.
Starring Letitia Lemon as Elizabeth Kirby and Vitriol Plays as Odessa Valdez.
