The logic behind my choice of Carol to be a bell-wielding Town Crier in this storyline were as follows:

• Oh hey, there's a reporter companion in Fallout 4. I have a reporter! She should be a companion in my open world parody storyline!
  
  
• Huh. I'm not sure what the fantasy equivalent of a reporter is. I'm not sure there is one, but Town Criers report news, right? Sort of? Yeah.
  
  
• Town Criers have bells!

Shortly after she showed up, people started reacting like "oh, hey! Carol of the bells! Clever!"

Uh... Yeah. Totally intentional reference! Ha ha ha

No seriously how do I keep making unintentional puns and references like that
