Welcome to Carbon stranger. Most people are a little spooked because of the raiders... some of 'em are busting up the bar right now. My name is Ruby. I'm what you might call an "entertainer"...

Ruby is a prostitute living in the town of Carbon, Texas in 2208.

Background[]

Ruby was born in Carbon and has lived there for all her life.[1] When she was a little girl, people around her told stories of mutants to scare kids, and she grew up believing they were not real.[2] She does not like the raiders but admits they are not entirely awful because they know how to party.

Ruby is the town prostitute and is a very good source of information. Ruby is kind and perhaps has a heart of gold. Dressed in clothes that look like they might have been torn off her on several occasions, Ruby views her role like any dedicated professional modern working woman, and she just also happens to really like her job a lot as well.[3][4]

She is the first to greet the Initiate on arrival. She admits to having seeing some people wandering around in armor, although they did not pay her any attention. She implores the Initiate to help Armpit with his raider problem in the diner.

Later, she asks the Initiate to help her find her cat whom she lost days ago. The cat can be found dead, having been killed by monsters in the Carbon Crater. Bringing his corpse back to Ruby will grant caps and XP. She is deeply saddened, but grateful to have closure.[5]

During the assault on Carbon, Ruby hides in the warehouse with the rest of the survivors. Her locket which once belonged to her grandmother is stolen by raiders attacking the town.[6] Ruby asks the Initiate to retrieve it during their attack on the raiders' base, the Mill. She claims to know Harold who traveled through the town some time ago; this is verified by Harold who mentions he accidentally scared her because his meat slid off his bone. Once peace is restored to the town, Ruby gives the Initiate a farewell before they head for Los.

Other interactions[]

  • Ruby is available for sexual encounters for 10 caps. This does not seem to do anything gameplay-wise, except for a fade-to-black and hearing some dialogue. Depending on gender and if the Initiate is Cain, she will give a different speech after paying for her services:
    • If Cyrus, Rhombus or the Vault Dweller, she says, "Alright, big boy! Here we go..." and "You should put a leash on that thing before it hurts someone!"
    • If Nadia or Patty, she says, "Women know what women want, sugar. Come here, and I'll show you." and "What did I tell you? Another satisfied customer."
    • If Cain, she says, "Well, sure... I guess so... Hey, what are you doing?" and "Uh, I think I'm gonna be sick..."
  • If the player attempts to solicit Ruby after learning of her stolen necklace, Ruby will be furious.[7] If the player returns the stolen item, their reward will be different than if they had not solicited her while upset.

Notable quotes[]

  • "Anything little Ruby can help you with?"
  • "I've lived here in Carbon all my life. We got raiders and radscorpions... but I guess things could be worse."
  • "My cat, Mr. Pussy. I haven't seen him in days. Sometimes he goes down into the nasty hole next to the bar... Can you find him for me?"
  • "Those fucking bastards! Usually they're mean, but this time... one of them stole my necklace... it belonged to my grandmother..."
  • "You insensitive jerk! Can't you see I'm upset?!? That necklace was important to me! And all you can think about is sex..."
  • "Mutants!?! When I was a little girl, people told stories about the mutants to scare us. They're not real, are they?"
  • "Sorry, I can't help you. I've only seen one ghoul before, a shriveled up fella passing through town. What was his name? Henry? Harold?"
