Enter the former Vault Dwellers - Joint Action with warneverchanged - OPEN

[wasteland_101]

The bus ride had been a very interesting one. She still wasn't sure what was going on, but she noticed that she wasn't the only one with a Vault suit and Pip Boy on. Though the other woman's was a different model than her own.

The conversation had started off simply. "Vault 111? I'm from 101." And it went on from there. They discussed the differences in the vaults and the lands around the vaults. They had a lot more in common than she realized at first.

When the bus stopped, the two former vault dwellers climbed off and looked around. The Lone Wanderer was stunned. She had never seen so much green before. Not even Oasis had this much green. At least she didn't have to deal with the Treeminders.

"So...is this what the world looked like before the bombs dropped?" she asked the older woman, still staring at everything. Unlike Nora, she hadn't been born before the war. She had only known life in a vault before she was pretty much evicted and forced into the Capital Wasteland.

Comments

"Commonwealth. Well, Boston and the surrounding area. They call it the commonwealth now, but I knew it before that too." She said with a shrug.

"No explosive collars. One of my friends became their enemy, by no fault of his own really, and by extension, if I was with him, so was I." Fucking Maxson.

"...You don't look like a ghoul," the Courier couldn't help but say, with a frown. Before giving a sigh.

"Yeah. One of their Elders went rogue. It's... bullshit. Then I pissed off their group stuck down in a bunker because one of their own wanted to help outside. Sided with her - how couldn't I?"

[warneverchanged]

"Not a ghoul." A point at the 111 on her back. "Vault dweller... somewhat. It's... a long story that deserves Bobrov's to go with it." She smiles at his next comment though.

"Seems we have a bit in common then."

"I've seen quite a few of those Vaults - so you went though some of that bullshit?" It's said with quite a bit of compassion - even if the Courier wasn't born in one, they're... disgusted at them. "I know where they sell the alcohol around here - my treat."

There's a long, deep sigh. "But they've got all that technology - the Brotherhood, I mean. If only the Followers of the Apocalypse could take it, huh? If-- they have them over your place. Bunch of pacifist idealists - they're mostly good people."

[warneverchanged]

"You may not believe me, but I saw one of the bombs drop." A bitter laugh. "Cryogenic stasis on unknowing subjects." A look over at him for a moment before staring off to the distance. She missed... home. Pre-war home.

"No, only Children of Atom, and they're more bonkers than Raiders on Jet. They think the next 'Divide' will save us all. And worship the radiation that tries to kill us."

[shotinhead]

"...No. It won't make a new paradise, it'll. I-- listen." The Courier doesn't know how far news spreads, but... they let out a long sigh, letting their voice lower. "I've seen a place only known now as the Divide. Traveled though it.

So those fuckers really are crazy."

[warneverchanged]

"Oh, I know. I saw the before and after of human actions. And I don't think the world could come back from a second." She listened for a moment. "The Divide. I wonder if they're related."

[shotinhead]

"Probably. It was... there were unfired nuclear weapons. They were activated - and the Divide was born, a hellscape full of things I'd not wish on my worst enemy. More would have been fired, if not for my interference."
