Vault 101 Dweller, Fallout 3, Anywhere Pandimensional With A Ceiling

Nov 19, 2008 02:22

The door creaks open on a sunny, cool day where a thin wind that smells of faintly wrong things breezes over concrete and grass. A moment later the muzzle of a ten-millimeter pistol makes its appearance at the edge of the doorframe, followed first by the rest of the gun and then by its wielder: an Asian-looking woman who can't be more than twenty ( Read more... )

All of which attracts the attention of an Afro-Asian woman in her early twenties, dressed in well-worn civilian clothing but packing a powerful-looking machine pistol on her hip.

"Are you okay?"

The younger woman gulps once before looking up. Taking a deep breath, she nods. "I- I think so. I'm sorry, I- it's so big out there..."

Alyx drops to a low crouch so she can look the woman straight in the eye. "What happened?" she asks softly.

"I panicked." She rubs at her face with both hands, wincing. "I tried not to, but it's just so...." Helplessly, she waves one hand upward. "Empty."

...Okay, that's a new one.

Call it professional curiosity, but Chainsaw wanders closer, head tilted.

Her expression isn't quite concerned; intrigued, maybe.

mm_cam November 19 2008, 17:04:51 UTC

She's going to need a little bit before she can get up. Hopefully the locals won't give her trouble about it; what little she saw of them on the way in didn't look like those- those things in the school-

Oh. There's one of them now. With a look of chagrin she straightens her armor somewhat and come to her feet.

Amused: "You okay there?"

Funny thing: the words are about right for the situation, but the attitude isn't. Chainsaw has never bothered to conceal his (or her) tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of others.

"Yes, I think so." She takes a deep breath and makes an effort to put on a proper smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb anyone. I'm a little out of place at the moment, that's all."

Better than a few moments ago, at least?

Nathan is not the sort of man who'd get up and ask just who you are and if you're all right. Instead of that however, he manages to nimbly dodge her getting to the wall-shooting her a quizzical look.

mm_cam November 20 2008, 02:17:17 UTC

It takes her a moment to notice she's being looked at; she swallows and manages an apologetic smile. "Sorry," she says. "I'm not... I'm not used to overland travel."

At all.

thenightsurgeon November 20 2008, 02:22:58 UTC

Overland travel?

"...I'm not particularly sure what you're referring to." This coming from the man who looks like he could pass for a professor or respected elder-well-anywhere, "...Walking?"

mm_cam November 20 2008, 02:26:39 UTC

"Outside the Vault," she supplies. "I was okay while I was still inside the school, but I have to find Megaton, and that's... I don't even know how far away."
