Quest Eight: Bored Mae =story timez?

[littlemiss101]

Hey Mayfield. I have a question.

What are your homes like? Not your fake homes here. But your actual homes. The ones you woke up from? Mine's a pretty horrible place but I still miss it.

Anyone want to trade stories?

[A. Mae has regained ONE great new piece of clothing. She has her vault 101 jumpsuit back and is wearing it with pride as she walks

[Peering over as he sits outside]

New clothes Mae?

[littlemiss101]

Yup! Well old one's. It's my vault suit.

[Points to the bright 101 on the back.]

Haven't worn it in a while. The other suit I have has armour. But I got this one back in the mail.

[boostedfailure]

Still, its something that's you as opposed to this well, place.

Looks good on you.

[littlemiss101]

Thanks. Makes me feel like I'm back in the wasteland.

[boostedfailure]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing though?

[littlemiss101]

Why would it be a bad thing?

[boostedfailure]

Dunno, lately I've been seeing the worst parts of home show up here and its just got me a bit meh on where I come from. Then again Gotham was always a mess, even hitting it with a bomb didn't seem to make it worse.

Sorry.

[littlemiss101]

[Waves a hand.]

Don't worry about it.

Oh yeah? Anyone I should be looking out for?

[boostedfailure]

Anyone that says they're from Gotham city and doesn't have the word bat in their name somehow. Actually no... Anyone from Gotham city, even the bats are no fun, they're just not nuts in the homicidal way.

[littlemiss101]

Gotham city...got it.

What's Gotham City like?

[boostedfailure]

Kind of a dark horrible place. I mean it was a major city, just a lot of crime and a very small regard for human life there.

[littlemiss101]

Nasty.

And the people who name themselves bat? Are they slightly saner criminals?

[boostedfailure]

No, they're the heroes.

See, a city kind of melds the people that work there. Gotham is a dark place that thrives on intimidation and mystery.

Metropolis, where I came from was a technological gem. We had a lot more powerful bad guys, but they were no where near as disturbed as Gotham, you could almost reason with some of them back home. Hell, baldy is here and he's been able to curb most of his antisocial tenancies.

Gotham though, there are completely powerless guys there who will just fill the water with something that drives everyone mad with fear just to watch the people go nuts. And THAT GUY is one of the saner ones there.

[littlemiss101]

......that's saner?

....Why doesn't someone just shoot them?

[boostedfailure]

They have. It never seems to work.

[littlemiss101]

.......shooting people tends to work most of the time.

Or just hitting them.....

Why wouldn't you just catch and kill them?
