FALLOUTVERSE - Capital Wasteland into Vault 106 - DAY THREE

[bitchprince]

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! ]]

Capital Wasteland

[bitchprince]

Another day, another dollar. Time to break up camp, forage for more supplies out in the wild, and get going. Overnight, the amount of gaps in the world seem to have increased, but at least now it's become more and more obvious where they're leading.

As always, watch out for radscorpions, mirelurks, or worse.

[[ make your own ocd, as always. here's your last chance to poke around the wasteland! ]]

Vault 106

[bitchprince]

The trail of gaps leads here. The large vault door has rolled away several years ago, leaving the complex open for exploration. It’s a large steel complex with low ceilings and a very retro-futuristic, utilitarian interior.

Unfortunately, there is something in the air... so be careful: your best friend might suddenly start looking like that bully that tried to beat you up in fourth grade, or that really evil bad guy that tried to have you executed in public... the last thing we need is a bloody end.

The last person to come through here didn’t do a very bang-up job of clean-up, either. So nevermind your own head: you have to be wary of any insane vault dwellers that might want to try to attack you with a lead pipe or a sledgehammer.

[[ hallucinations can go as far as you’d like: your character can just hallucinate the walls being clean, or they can start seeing relatives, or imagining they’re being attacked by clones of a friend. Hallucinations only last a minute or two, the frequency is up to you ]]

A Cave Behind Vault 106

[bitchprince]

The air becomes less thick the further anyone comes to the cave. There's something unnatural in there, something that doesn't belong on this Earth. Stuffed into the nooks and crannies of the rocks are things that look an awful lot like human remains, but the most obvious item is pressed into the boulder at the back of the cave.

It's metal, rounded and jagged, and humming with some unnatural power--

And once anyone from Fandom approaches, they might find themselves suddenly somewhere altogether more familiar.

[[ First person to tag in can touch the item; the rest of you can ping here to react to being pulled home ]]

OOC 1

[bitchprince]

For NPCs, questions, comments, options, and no tim- or tomfoolery. Bring it on.

OOC 2

[bitchprince]

For OOC communication and tim- and tom-foolery. But watch those puns.

Also, anyone who's curious can get a better look at what the inside of Vault 106 is like here. Warning, though. That place scares the hell out of me. Or you can hit up the Vault 106 entry on the Fallout: High Octane Nightmare Fuel page at TV tropes. (I know, a different kind of horror; also, be warned that this can be a very creepy game in a slightly different way than SH and Bioshock, so 'nightmare fuel' means nightmare fuel)

And in case it helps: IG, the hallucinations the main character has involve being attacked by childhood friends, seeing everything in a purple light, doubles and triples of friends and family, rooms being upside down, visions of the vault before it got ruined - clean walls, tables being upright, all that - and messages to himself on the computer terminal.
