Abandoned Camp
The rainy day games have seen better days. He searches the room one last time and leaves if there's nothing else to take. He returns to main room, mostly so his player doesn't forget any doors.

Abandoned Camp
The rainy day games have seen better days. He searches the room one last time and leaves if there's nothing else to take. He returns to main room, mostly so his player doesn't forget any doors.
Abandoned Camp- Cabin #1
There's another door, and the kitchen cupboards and TV cabinet haven't been searched yet.
[Infirmary]
Kitty has plenty of questions, so they'll be talking for a while. By the end, she at least she feels like she has some idea of what's coming next. The kitsune sighs, looking worn right out. "Okay. So what are we gonna do about the thing with my mind?" Just one major concern to address left.
Infirmary
"That is the question," Says Copi who has been quiet and listening for a while. She isn't checked out anymore, having calmed down. "I still have a grasp on it, but given what we have found it might be best if I release it."
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin That May or May Not Have a Hangar Bay]
If Justin's bowling alley were renovated it might not be so bad, but since Justin kinda doesn't appear to have the cash on hand for that sort of feat, he'd probably be better off marrying Alyca after their third date like every other Nexus couple and moving in with her and onto the lap of luxury! :smalltongue:
Must it compute? Alyca the forbearing slave-teen might be able to adapt to her environment really, really quickly! She's sharp, coordinated, and disciplined. And karma owes her big time. And she was born in captivity in a modern slave warehouse, I think. She was transferred to a medieval cult in a transaction initiated by Percival the demonazi but most of her time was spent in the technology-adept warehouse designated "Fallow's Furry Friends". While they didn't learn how to serve as a chauffeur there, they did have exposure to electricity and the like, from what I've gathered.
"Why, of course I drive! Who doesn't this day and age! And yes I own an Aston Martin. I won it in a competition! Technically my sister and I won it, but that's pretty much the same thing, isn't it?"
"Let's meet up outside of Trog's. It isn't the classiest bar in town, but it is easy to reach from any neighborhood and none too far from our destination!"
While not exactly a lie, that story on how Alyca and Miriah were issued their spy cars isn't exactly true either. It was a prize that they won, but the competition was bizarrely one-sided. Two-on-twelve is hardly a fair fight if the two silence the twelve with nary a sound!
[Infirmary]
"I would have to agree," Quinn says, after a moment's hesitation. "As 'the thing with your mind' appears to be your growing child, it will need to be closely monitored, but I don't think anything else at the moment would be wise."
Abandoned Camp
Y'know, One of my favorite things in FO3 was rummaging. Justin opens the t.v. cabinet in search of goodies.
Alyca and Miriah's Cabin of Discount Import Cars and X-wings
It's funny you mention renovation because he's probably got more than enough to turn that bowling alley over. I've genuinely been considering him doing that.
That driving thing was rationalized pretty well for him. It's just he has no idea she's from anyplace modern. He doesn't say a thing when she mentions who wouldn't be able to drive.
"Trog's. Yeah. Trog's sounds good. If we're meeting there where are we going afterward?"
[Infirmary]
Kitty nods slowly. "So, I should stay around here then? I don't have anywhere better to go, so that'd be fine." At least this looks like a nice enough place.
Infirmary
Copi releases the grasp she has on the... kit, and will watch it for a moment before pulling out of Kitty's mind.
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin and Magic Murder Bag]
It would indubitably be to Justin's advantage to have unrestricted access to a shower before he goes out on a date! Cleanliness is next to godliness and all that jazz! And Alyca, not unlike the majority of people, has a tendency to gravitate toward clean folks and away from smelly folks.
"We have two options open to us as I see it. We could check in on a costume party that's being held in MaGLoG for Halloween or we could alternatively swing by a social a business associate of mine is hosting, an ironed and starched black suit soiree. 'S your call."
And by business associate, she means target!
Monsters 'n ghouls 'n other assorted Halloweeny creatures and concepts or James Blond, fast cars, and spy gadgets?
And Miriah finally enters the room wearing a light blue t-shirt and a denim miniskirt!
"Hello! What are you two up to in here?"
Alyca and Miriah's Cabin of Smelling Perfectly Fine Thank You Very Much
It's the jumpsuit. It's old, okay?
"I can scrounge up a costume, but I also have a nice outfit I wear on formal occaisions." Wearing the suit would make a much nicer impression than dressing as Captain America. "Think I could get away with dark blue?" Seems he's more interested in James Blond.
Enter Miriah. "Hi Miriah. Oh, we're not up to anything. You're sister just... Invited me to a party." How is Miriah going to take this? Not poorly, most likely. She probably knows her sister likes him, and probably knew about the invitation before he did. But he doesn't know that! Are sisters as protective as brothers? This could get super awkward.
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin]
All I know is that it is a good thing that Alyca and Miriah are lucky enough have a sterilization team on speed dial for whensmellyJustin and his gross jumpsuit withdraw from their humble abode! :smalltongue:
But Alyca would never tease Justin about his scentbecause she finds it delightful and omg, like, they are so gonna get married and have a billion kids lawl! :smalltongue:
"Any suit color will do, Jus-"
Alyca courteously replies before being unceremoniously cut off by Miriah.
"I suspected that you two would be making out by now considering what she's written about you in her diary. Justin this and Justin that! He's so handsome and dashing and heroic and blah blah blah blah blah!"
Alyca is glaring at Miriah and blushing like crazy by now. Just glaring and blushing. Oh, if looks could kill, Miriah would be nothing but a blood-red stain on a charred wall!
"She thinks you've got a cute-"
"Miriah!"
Alyca objects, sprinting toward Miriah and clapping a hand over her mouth.
"Heh, heh! Forget everything that she said, Justin."
"Everything." :smalleek::smalltongue:
Alyca and Miriah's Cabin
Justin blushes, but he also smiles. "Dashing...Cute?" Cute what? Cute face? Cute nose? He wishes he cared about his appearance more, then he could guess.
"I... Consider it forgotten." He absolutely files this away. A girl liiiiiikes him~:smallsmile:
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Cute Something]
Miriah is sabotaging Alyca's one shot at true love! Alyca drags her over to a door on the other side of the room and pushes her inside!
"Bye Justin!"
Alyca forces the door shut and picks up the prepared bowl of buttered and salty popcorn!
"Care for some popcorn, Justin?" :smallredface:
Miriah! Grr! :smalltongue:
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Sisterly Teasing]
Bye Miriah! You will be sorely missed!
"Please," he says shyly. Wow this event has changed his whole view on the situation. He's sitting with a girl who like's him. He grabs a fingerful of popcorn and eats as he thinks of something to say.
"So you..." think I'm heroic and dashing? "...have a job already? What do you do?"
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Popped Corn]
"I'm a logistics specialist for a security firm. I look after what assets we haveand erase them if they ever go rogueand requisition moreby prying them out of the cold, dead hands of evil masterminds and sinister dictatorsfor the group when ordered to do so. The job pays well and it has its perks. The field is expansive and developed but promotions are aplenty and our employment outlook in the future is exceptionally fantastic!"
Because people will always need more spies and assassins to kill other spies and assassins! In this business, supply creates demand! And Alyca and Miriah are well on their way to becoming the best of the best. Sort of...
In their current positions, they're more or less assistants to the big players of the spy game. They'll receive their shot at the big time sooner or later. As for now, they're apprentices in their trade.
"So..."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters or are you an only child?"
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Logistic Assassination]
"Wow, you really adapted fast." It's really impressive that she got such a good job so soon. That's weird, actually. Aren't most slaves generally left uneducated? How do you jump from that to logistics?
Family... "I have an older sister named Nina, back home. She's like ten years older than me. She actually had a baby girl just before I left home."
[Infirmary]
Kitty smiles, despite the circumstances. "Great. Just as a guest is fine for me." She still barely knows what this place is after all.
Abandoned Camp- Cabin #1
There's a collection of DVDs, mostly romance films, with some horror in there as well, with a misplaced Xbox game alongside them. The game's Fallout 3. Because I'm a meanie mean face :smalltongue:.
Abandoned Camp
That might actually be a little too loopy. Justin's mind essentially processes this as "What is a BOS helmet doing on this disc box?" The movies and even Fallout three get stuffed into the new convenient computer bag. Then comes the kitchen... which has a pond in it. Lovely.
He tries to edge around the pond to reach any cabinets and drawers.
Abandoned Camp- Cabin #1
There's a jar of honey behind some jars of mould in a sauce cupboard, and a high-class tin of wild-caught Scottish salmon in brine in a cupboard otherwise filled with rusting cans. A cupboard of broken glass contains an unopened intact bottle of gin. There's also plenty of forks, for Justin's cutlery fetish. Some are slightly rusty, but most are OK.
Also, the water's not radioactive, though it might be contaminated by something else. The frog sat in the pond croaks mournfully at Justin.
Abandoned Camp
It's not a fetish, okay!? He hoards lots of stuff. He just happens to have a particularly impressive collection of forks. They're really easy to steal. It's not a big deal. So what if he keeps them polished. You take extra good care of your things don't you?
+1 Honey! +1 Salmon in brine! +Lots of Forks!
Why would a frog croak mournfully? How would a frog croak mournfully
Oh who cares. That seems to be all, as he's not stepping in that pool, more out of not getting pond water in his socks (he only has the single pair), he'll leave to see the next cabin
Abandoned Camp- Cabin#1
Wasn't there another door in this cabin? I think there was. I could be wrong, but I think I've got Justin on my side here :smalltongue:.
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Families = Liabilities In This Business]
Okay! That's perfect! Justin's family does not dwell in the Nexus. Good. If she's compromised, Alyca will only have to trouble herself with evacuating her sisters and Justin. That'd be easy enough. She just needs to be able to track his movements with a tracer of some sort...
Fallow's slaves were educated to some degree. It was a cost-effective and relatively simple way to raise the price his slaves were being sold at.
"Nina... That's a nice name!"
"Where were you born, Justin? Were you born in the Nexus like me and my sisters or were you born elsewhere? Like on Terra! Are you a Terran?"
Abandoned Camp
If the GM says there is, there is. I recall only one door, but If you'd like to add another, power to you. I dig the world building.
[Alyca and Miriah's Cabin - Tracking Devices: A Girl's Best Friend]
It's too bad Alyca doesn't have a Pipboy. Then she could easily track Justin's Pipboy.
"A planet called Earth and a country called America, so I'm an Earthling and an American. To get more specific, a place called Vault 47, so I'm also a Vault Dweller. That's what people called me the most back home. When I first got to the Nexus I though it was a bit weird how where you came from had no bearing on anything at all." Once he realized he wasn't inKansasGeorgia anymore, he fell into this really accepting groove. Unless it's as outlandish as hell or tries to eat him, he's not really surprised by what he sees.
Abandoned Camp- Cabin #1
This door leads to a bathroom. There's a shower, a toilet, a sink, a medicine cupboard, and a bathroom cabinet. There's also a shaving mirror attached to the wall; it's got an extending arm and the mirror flips and rotates, one mirror being slightly bent to magnify the reflection. By the sink is an old mug holding some mangy-looking toothbrushes and a soap dish but no soap.
Infirmary
Copi will stand up. "I am naturally a wanderer, but I was considering becoming a member to have a roof on occasion and a place to store possessions. With Kitty here, it is all the more reason to acquire a small room."
[Infirmary]
Kitty gives Copi a slightly puzzled, but grateful look. It's pretty surprising that Copi is being so friendly when they barely know each other.
