Quest One: Not this place again

[littlemiss101]

 [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]

I'm not a mutant!
[He looks vaguely insulted by the idea.]

I am simply a member of the Legiones Astartes. We are augmetically and genetically altered for superior size, strength, and intellect so we can protect humanity.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

......

That.....pretty much sounds like mutant.

Only with less crazy kill everything that moves.

But I'm pretty sure that was the idea behind super mutants.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I can't say. I take it you are a new resident? My deepest condolences.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Okay top secret, got it.

[You are a strange super mutant.]

Um yeah. Just woke up here.

...thanks for the welcome?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

You are welcome. I take it you are also from a place where mutation is a danger, then?

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Well yeah. Nothing wrong with a bit of mutation. I mean I travel with a ghoul for a bodyguard. I don't discriminate.

But so far as I've seen the Super Mutants were an experiment by the government that kind of just...went wrong I'm guessing? Not natural mutations I suppose. I suppose the only danger from that sort of mutation is if you figured out whatever made them.

So yeah. Lots of radiation tends to hang around after a nuclear holocaust. Which leads to lots of other mutations if you don't take your radaway...and now I sound like a psa.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[Garviel nods, listening, a trifle disturbed but he hears her out.]

Nuclear weapons... your world deployed atomics without proper precautions then? How unfortunate.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Real "unfortunate".

But hey, we move on.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

We all endure, yes.

My name is Garviel Loken. What is your name, young lady?

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

That too.

I'm Mae.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

A pleasure to meet you, Mae. I wish the circumstances were different.

[He offers her a gauntleted hand to shake.]

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

[Shakes.]

Seems to be the standard greeting around here. Can't wait to find out why that is.

[No, really she wouldn't.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Primarily because this entire town continually kills, resurrects, and pits the population against one another.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

So I heard.

Yeah, doesn't sound fun.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

It isn't.

[He is quiet for a moment, then asks her.]

So, are you living with anyone actually sentient at present, or just drones?

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Some guy who says he's a superhero and two little drone kids.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Oh. Booster Gold?

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

No idea. Is he the only one who claims to be a superhero around here?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

The only one I am aware of, at any rate.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Maybe then. Who knows.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Indeed. [Garviel looks thoughtful, and asks.]

Is there anything I can do to help you, Mae?

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, do you know where I can get a gun?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Certainly. The hardware store, but women can't buy one. If you ask Booster, he will probably purchase one for you. The man is quite helpful, if foolish. If you need marksmanship training myself or Red, at the Rec Center will be glad to assist you.

[littlemiss101.livejournal.com]

And why can't women buy one?

[Rolls her eyes and folds her arms. Really?]

And I know how to shoot a gun.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I wish I knew. It is some dictate of the town's governing social... mores? Philosophy? I'm not sure. I just know the drones will not let you buy one.

[Garviel obliviousness go.]

Very good. Everyone of a certain age should understand how, for self defense if nothing else.
