Vault 104 [Action Post]

[Catherine was standing just inside of the entrance to the Ari Apartments in the morning, just before work. At first, she'd stop and push a few buttons on her Pip-Boy before looking like she was going to leave... only stopping just before taking that first step. She looked outside, backed away from the doors, and looked around, quietly looking for

Hey there. Something wrong?

[survival_101]

Oh. Ah. Nope! Not at all!

[future_is_gold]

You sure? You look like you're pretty concerned about something.

[survival_101]

Well, this place is kinda concerning.

[future_is_gold]

Kind of a recent arrival, huh? The amnesia is pretty lousy, but moping about it's not going to help any.

[survival_101]

Weirder than just amnesia. No one seems bothered by anything.

[future_is_gold]

Hah, you really are a recent arrival, aren't you? Wait'll the island starts working its weird magic on everyone, then you'll see people getting bothered. Peaceful downtime like this, there's usually nothing worth getting bothered about.

[survival_101]

Oh man, don't tell me it gets worse. It's bad enough that people think all that stuff outside is totally normal.

[future_is_gold]

Well, I think there's a disappointing lack of skyscrapers and flying cars out there, but for most of the people around here, it is totally normal or at least close enough to count. It's nice, once you get used to it.

[survival_101]

Wait, skyscrapers? Like Pre-War skyscrapers?

[future_is_gold]

Well, judging by the pictures I remember, our skyscrapers were a lot more impressive than anything before any of the great wars, but I guess it's the same basic idea.

[survival_101]

Wait wait wait back up please. Great wars. Which ones? What year is it to you?

[future_is_gold]

2462 is the last year I remember it being. I'm a lot further down the timeline than a lot of people around here seem to be.

[survival_101]

Fuck, yeah. No idea how old I am yet, but I was born in 2258, so it can't be too much later than 2280 at most. The outside world's still a nuclear hell.
