Quest Nine: Good to be home...ish

[littlemiss101]

[A. Action for household: Mae is looking around the destroyed house]

.....Oh wow. It feels more like home already. Wish they'd left me my pip-boy though.

[ B. Action: On the streets of Mayfield, oh dear lord the humanity ....wait what the hell is that woman doing? Ah yes the proud tradition of looting/scavenging. She's got a stick on her back, a

I guess in times like this the response should be 'could be worse' but somehow I don't want to jinx anything.

[littlemiss101]

True enough.

It is, what it is, I suppose.

[undying_heroism]

Yeah, guess so.

You don't think this will last do you? I mean, I heard everything in this town reset somehow after a period of time.

[littlemiss101]

That's what I've heard.

I don't think it'll stick around. Just long enough to make us as miserable as possible no doubt.

Right now it's not to bad. Reminds me of home.

[ Upon noticing the state of his house and the town around him, Golbez had immediately gone out to see what he could find out. And the answer is... not much, just that everything seems to have been bombed out overnight.

He turns when he hears a girl's voice calling, and is surprised that she doesn't seem fazed in the least. ] It could be better. And yourself?

[littlemiss101]

Not too bad. It could be worse too.

[stoppedhiding]

Has this sort of thing happened to Mayfield before?

[littlemiss101]

Not that I know of. But I haven't been here that long really.

[Michael is securing what he can find, wrapping extra cloth around him and testing the weight of a chunk of staircase for swinging.]

Great, and it looks like they took my suit and Skeets, which should have easily survived this so that means something irritating is going to happen.

[littlemiss101]

[Mae is sharpening a butter knife she found.]

Yeah. And considering, I'm still here but the more sturdy pip-boy that shouldn't be able to be removed from my arm isn't? Definitely the town messing with us.

[boostedfailure]

Probably only will last a few days but still. I'm thinking that the grocery is going to get overrun with scavengers pretty quick so I was going to go to the hotel ruins to see if they have any food to hole up with. Then again, this is your area of expertise so have any plans?

[littlemiss101]

Yeah, scavenging is a good start. We're going to want to stock up on things. I'm figuring that most people will try to figure out what's going on first so it's a good time to get food and other stuff.

And after that I'm going to go around and see how people are coping. Maybe search the hospital for medical stuff.

[Also carrying a stick, this older man seems less bothered and more confused than anything else.

He waves to her as she approaches.]

Better than it should.

[littlemiss101]

Well that's better then the alternative.

[change_seasons]

People don't survive bomb like this.

Bomb like this spares no lives.

I am surprised to see one so cheerful out here.

[littlemiss101]

Oh people survive bombs like this alright.

And I guess I was more homesick then I realized. This is what my world looks like all the time. Charred, nuclear fallout.

[Don't mind Quinn as he walks around in a daze. Sure, he's played enough video games and seen enough movies just like this, but it's not qjuite the same now, is it?

Oh. It's you. He hasn't forgotten her from the dance. Well, no wonder she looks fine and dandy.]

H-Hey. I'm, uh... okay, I guess.

[littlemiss101]

It's hard to get used to, I know.

[techno_mancer]

Yeah. You ain't kiddin'. I... I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

[He sits down on a nearby stone, pulls out a rumpled cigarette and lights it up. Screw the quitting, this is the apocalypse.]

[littlemiss101]

Simple. Salvage whatever you can and survive.
