Sticky

Sticky, Sticky Hands, or Jack is a resident of Little Lamplight in 2277.

Background
He was known to his Lamplighter friends as "Sticky Hands," though now that he is grown up, he calls himself Jack. If asked what "Sticky Hands" is for, he replies mysteriously with, "use your imagination." He's a nonstop-talking, annoying, exuberantly self-centered 16-year-old who acts like he's about 10 (as he hasn't been around enough adult role-models).

Sticky states that his age is 18, while everybody else says he is 16. In 2277, he is forced to leave Little Lamplight as all children must eventually do once they reach the age of 16.

He is first encountered after gaining entry into Little Lamplight, where the other Lamplighters will be telling him he needs to leave, while Sticky displays his unhappiness at leaving.

Relationships
Sticky is friends with Red in Big Town. He refers to her as his "girlfriend."

Daily schedule
Before the unmarked quest Happy Birthday to You, he can be found in Little Lamplight. Upon successful completion of the quest, he will reside in Big Town spending his days in the town hall, and nights sleeping in the common house.

Quests

 * Happy Birthday to You: Sticky needs to get to Big Town, but needs an escort to get him there safely.
 * Big Trouble in Big Town: If one escorts Sticky to Big Town before solving Big Town's super mutant problem, he will help fend off the super mutant raid.

Effects of player's actions

 * If the Lone Wanderer fires Sticky, or refuses to take him to Big Town, Sticky will remain in the area he was fired from until the next time the Lone Wanderer enters that map cell, at which point he dies.
 * If one kills him while he is saying goodbye in Lamplight caverns, the other kids will comment that they thought he was annoying.
 * If the player character refuses to escort Sticky when first meeting him by saying that they "want to visit Little Lamplight first," Sticky will stand on the other side of the gate indefinitely.
 * If one offers to escort Sticky to Big Town and continues through Little Lamplight via the safer route to Vault 87, Sticky will be left outside the door next to the hacked computer terminal. He won't join in the search of the vault for the G.E.C.K. but will be the first to show up at Raven Rock after one has lost all their companions.

Other interactions

 * If Sticky is wearing his party hat when the Lone Wanderer initiates conversation, the player character will have the dialogue option "What's with the party hat?" Choosing this option will cause him to give you the hat, as he says he doesn't "want it anymore."
 * The entire time one escorts him to Big Town, he will attempt to "entertain" the player character with inane stories and prattle. With a successful Speech attempt, he will stop the annoying chatter.
 * If the Lone Wanderer takes him to Big Town after completing the quest Big Trouble in Big Town with the "Small Guns" option (teaching the townsfolk to defend themselves), then he will eventually comment that Big Town seemed like a bad place to live, but the fact that they helped the townsfolk means it is getting better.
 * If the player character escorts him to Big Town but has not completed Big Trouble in Big Town, the other residents will tell the Lone Wanderer that Red has been kidnapped by super mutants, but Sticky is not to be told because it will upset him. However, he may comment on Red's lack of presence.
