Quest One: Not this place again

[Mae walks up in a bed. That alone is enough to set off alarm bells. She remembers very distinctly going to sleep last night, leaning against a half destroyed wall with a dog next to her. And considering how...well non destroyed the room was looking....
She very quickly snuck out of bed and started to look around the house. Grabbing a baseball bat from the small boy's room as she went. Never hurt to have a weapon when you've been kidnapped. She looks outside.
......well this wasn't good. She quickly goes back inside and get's dressed, interogates some drones and locates the phone.]
Dr. Braun, if you're there. We need to talk because I'm pretty sure being back in this place is impossible considering everyone died last time.

[And with that she hangs up. She's sure if he is behind this...and who else would be? It's just like last time...though she admits it's ...different and slightly more impossible...that if he was behind it, he'd be calling back to gloat at any moment. Until then.
Mayfield there is a woman wandering around carrying a baseball bat like a weapon. You can find her.
A. On her lawn examining the grass, or her arm. They...feel more real then the simulation. But there's also colour here, so maybe it's just a tech upgrade.

B. Going through your mailbox or garbage can. Hey, who knows what valuables you might have thrown away....like this bottle cap, score!
C. Interrogating young drone girls at the playground. Seriously, which one of you is in charge here?
D. Looking through windows of peoples houses to see if they're abandoned. Aka: where the hell is the failsafe to this place]

If we get Deathclaws I might cry.

Date: 2011-06-12 12:11 am (UTC)The great war happened, everyone in the world pretty much decided the best idea was to throw nuclear missiles at each other at the same time.
And now many years later we have the Capital Wasteland.
It's not that bad a place if you avoid the super mutants and the raiders and the radiation and the feral ghouls and ....
[She pauses. Okay it kinda sucked.]
...it's home anyway.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 12:19 am (UTC)I--I see. My world isn't like that--though it sounds a bit like the Cold War standoff, no one ended up using nuclear weapons. Though this place--I've heard they've hinted that there was some sort of nuclear war here, too.
Oh, I'm getting a little off-topic, I'm sorry. [This subject is kind of depressing anyway.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 12:31 am (UTC)[No really she is.]
Really....well that's interesting.
Oh no that's my fault, brought up Deathclaws and all that. ...Oh you're probably from an earth too. Sorry, I know that it's not a nice story even for us st-
[She blinks. Wait, Lithuania....that was in a few old world books.]
Oh, are you from Europe?

Try me.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 12:42 am (UTC)Alright, well--my world is Earth, with the nations and civilization intact. And each country has a personification. A person who represents all the people and area they live on. And that's what I am. [He pauses for a moment.] I'm also not the only one from my world here, if that helps my story.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 12:51 am (UTC)[That is odd.]
So...you're a country.
The country of Lithuania.
Either you're right or you're some crazy person but seeing as I've had to come to that conclusion about everyone else here, might as well go with the first.

Date: 2011-06-12 12:57 am (UTC)[Looks interested.]
I don't think we had nations like that in my world.
...at least I hope not.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 12:59 am (UTC)[He shakes his head to clear it. Best not to think too hard on it.]
So you already know there seem to be quite a variety of people here.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 01:01 am (UTC)[Changing the topic is good. Because history us sad. And it sounds even worse with people-countries. ...she wonders what would have happened to Canada.]
....lots of people.
So...is there a 'reason' why we're here? Free slave labour or something?

Date: 2011-06-12 01:17 am (UTC)...Something like that, yes. Only it's usually still Mayfield when they do things.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 01:25 am (UTC)Well I was trapped in a virtual reality simulation back home once.
...it looked a lot like this. I had to find the fail safe to get out. A nutty scientist had pretty much taken over the simulation and used it as his personal toy. Killing people and wiping their memories over and over. In the end the only way I could get them away from that was ...well killing them.
[She shudders. Not happy about how that played out. Even if she had gotten her dad out.]
Creepy as hell too. He disguised himself as a little girl among the small group of people there.

Date: 2011-06-12 01:27 am (UTC)You--You've done something like this before and--Lucy Smith!
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 01:38 am (UTC)I think her name was Betty but....
Really? A small girl is in control....
[Hand on head.]
Okay, this place is a lot different from the simulation. There it was one street, with me and a lot of ...well drone like people I guess you'd call them. There was only one woman who seemed to realize something was wrong. And she's the one that told me where to find the failsafe.
But so many people...that just ....arrived here. There can't be enough pods for everyone.... and then the whole different worlds thing. Which would make even less sense if this was a simulation....
[Don't mind her, just rambling.]
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 01:41 am (UTC)It doesn't seem exactly the same, but it seems similar enough that it's the best theory about this place I've heard.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-12 01:44 am (UTC)[She immediately goes to her wrist to write that down....
Oh wait....no pipboy. She sighs and moves her hand back.]
Well I suppose that means I'll be looking for an invisible computer in my spare time.

Date: 2011-06-12 01:47 am (UTC)It was hidden behind a lock of some sort in an abandoned house last time. You had to tap random objects and they'd make...a noise and then you had to do it in the right order.
...that one took a while.

Date: 2011-06-12 01:59 am (UTC)Okay. I'll keep those places in mind.
Thanks.
So, anything else I should know about this place?
