FALLOUTVERSE - Capital Wasteland into Vault 106 - DAY THREE

For a moment, it seemed almost like a rustic scene: a herd of calm, two-headed cows ambled idly past Fandom's camping spot, and took up a position to graze off what little grass managed to wrestle itself loose from the ruined soil, just a few feet away.

But overnight, the cracks had increased in size, cutting through the sky. Looking upwards now, it was almost as if whatever location they were pulled towards had a halo, a small ring of friendly skies from which the blackness shot out in several directions.

Furthermore, though, this was Radscorpion country, and the people who travelled here now would do best to watch their steps...

And after that, it was on to a small hidden door in the middle of nowhere - behind which hid Vault 106.

[[ ~~wait for the~~ ocd up! ]]

"Mornin', sunshine," Reno announced, turning a small grin in Alex's direction and then holding a bottle of clean water toward him. "Ration it. We don't know how long it'll be before we get more, yo. How you holdin' up?"

"I feel like a truck ran over me," he said, taking the bottle and sipping some water carefully, "so it's about on par with some of my better hangovers. You?"

"Me? I'm doin' fine," Reno replied dismissively. Because... Well, because he was. He was in his element, here. Hell, he'd snuck out again in the dead of night to get more water. You could never have too much water when stuck wandering around a radioactive wasteland, after all. "Been gettin' exercise, yo. What's with the traffic injury? You gonna want somethin' for that?"

"A building sort of fell on me and Emma yesterday," he told him, shrugging one shoulder. "I think I'm a little bruised but she's the color of Christmas lights so she got the worst part of it."

Well, maybe he did since he was the one hurting and she wasn't.

The corner of Reno's mouth twitched a little, but that was really the only outward reaction he had to that news. He was up and alive, that was a good thing.

"Bruises suck," he decided. "Bein' buried alive sucks more. You think she's gonna need any help, then?"

It was better to ask the friends who had been there, he'd learned throughout his lifetime. When people were hurt in extreme situations, they liked to downplay it as nothing to worry about, and then that shit got in the way later on down the road.

"Emma?" He shook his head. "I think she's fine physically. We didn't really stop to talk about our feelings though since we wanted to get the fuck out of there."

Still, Alex felt he was fine. Cut, sore, tired, all that but he wasn't dead. He could deal. "I'd love to go without getting buried alive again, though. That...wasn't fun."

"Been there, done that, didn't even get a friggin' t-shirt for my troubles," Reno replied, giving Alex an almost sympathetic smile. "Ready to get movin' again, then?"

"Staying here doesn't seem like it's going to accomplish anything," he said, pushing to his feet and nodding. "Think we can make a stop at the local strip club?"

Well, he still had his sense of humor.

"Stuff a few bottle caps in some chick's thong? Sounds like a good time," Reno snorted. "We'll have to swing by one later, if we get the chance."

He doubted that there would be a chance. Which was totally just fine by him, yes.

Yeah, at this time, Alex would be perfectly fine without a visit to a strip club. He pushed to his feet and gathered up the small amount of things he had with him.

"I'm ready, man," he said and passed the water back.

Reno waved a hand at him, and then stuffed said hand back into his pocket, water-free.

"Hang on to it, man. I got plenty of my own, yo. Too much'll just slow me down."

Which was sort of like Reno-ese for 'accept my charity, or I'll have to come up with more dumbshit excuses until you can't argue about it anymore.'

"Don't have to tell me twice," Alex replied, giving Reno a grateful nod and adding the water to this things. "Thanks for the check in."
