Announcement 001

[Whether you're waking up in the clinic just now, or have already done so and are now wandering the halls, a sudden screech of microphone feedback blares over the speakers before fading back out.

A moment later, a woman clears her throat. Her voice is husky and mature, but still feminine, and overall she sounds very authoritative...if not a bit sarcastic.]


Good evening, and welcome to the new school year. I hope your arrival was a pleasant one, last year everybody threw-up from motion sickness, it was quite messy.

[There's a long pause as she seems to think, or perhaps just let any anticipated bustling chatter calm down.] Now, you're all intelligent human beings...for the most part. But I suppose I'll pretend I'm talking to the insipid uneducated masses for a moment; it shouldn't prove too difficult.

[She clears he throat again.] In every hall, you shall find a small intercom. You may use that to ask me any questions after my announcements and "privately" converse. Now, if you head North down one of the halls near the clinic in the Central Wing and keep going, you'll eventually come to either the West or East Dorm Wings, depending on which fork in the road you chose. There you'll find all necessary bunk beds and spare socks.

So, make sure you're all well rested for class in the morning; we wouldn't want to get a failing grade now would we?

[And with that, there's another burst of feedback before her announcement abruptly ends. Anybody who had been wandering the halls will notice a distinct lack of...well, anybody else aside from new arrivals, the Nurse, and the Lunch Lady.

The strange woman over the loudspeakers may have mentioned classes, but the school seemed completely devoid of any teachers to provide those classes. In fact, a lot of things seemed...off.]

YOU CAN'T COUNT TWICE!

[Furrowing his brow, Tadakuni looks to the blonde beside him.] Yoshitake-!

[HELP A BROTHER OUT, MAN.]

[Link feels far more uncertain when he sees how pink Pyrrha's face has gotten when he sits down next to her. Maybe that wasn't the right solution at all.]

I'm used to sleeping in the grass... I'll be fine either way.

[But after a few more moments of thought, Link concludes that he probably shouldn't share the same bed. If something were to attack, he might not be able to jump into action right away. Instead, he stands and pads over to the other bunk bed. Grabbing the frame, he slowly starts dragging it closer to Pyrrha's bunk. Once there's only a couple feet between the beds, he lets go of the frame.]

I'll sleep on the bottom bed here. That way I'll be close, but I won't be in your way.
itisntmyfault: (You're too kind.)

[Pyrrha relaxed somewhat; watching the boy as he dragged his bed closer to her own. With a small smile, she nods her head in appreciation to his words; feeling much safer already. ...Still, she will probably keep her own sword under her bed as she sleeps.]

Link... [Feeling very touched by his care for her, Pyrrha... doesn't really know what to say. It's been a while since someone has been so kind to her...] I...

[A pause. Eventually, she merely looks away; still smiling somewhat bashfully.] Well... th-thank you.

[With that, she climbs beneath her covers; fluffing her pillow a bit.]

I'll... see you in the morning, then. [A small smile. What a strange thought... When was the last time she's gotten to wake up beside someone else, even..?]

[Sorry bro, Yoshitake's hand is already in the air. But see, he's only voting once. Just because he's a bro.]

Now it's settled!

Guess so.

[Roy obviously doesn't know what the "NCR" is either, judging by the blank look he gives Boone and the beret.]

Don't know 'em, but I'll just assume they mean business.

[If the NCR was as scary as this guy, well.]
tokenmegane: (dramatic)

[personal profile] tokenmegane 2013-06-03 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hidenori gives a sharp nod, slamming the side of his fist into his palm.]

Alright! Then all that leaves is finding a room!
pimpcoat: (not sure if want)

[personal profile] pimpcoat 2013-06-04 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Trapped...

[He frowns, trying to seem less worried than he actually is.]

...No, I cannot accept this. There must be a way. I cannot be here.
leanonstuff: (Was there something else you needed?)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, uh, Micheletto.

[He emphasizes all the wrong syllables but c'mon, it's an unusual name!]

You can keep looking, but I haven't found anything useful yet.
thumbsdown: (alright then)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Then what is it? Unless we're in the middle of a giant radscorpion nest or something, I can't see the problem.

[He takes another drag of his cigarette and looks back up at Norman.]

Unless the outskirts are heavily radiated...

[Shit, that's not something he can fight his way through.]

Yeah, well. Considering the circumstances, it isn't nice. I was in Novac before I ended up here. On duty.

[So he wasn't even sleeping.]
thumbsdown: (for carla)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
How are you with your fists?

[So... he hasn't heard of the Legion or the NCR. A part of him thinks the kid is lucky, but no doubt there are plenty of problems where he's from, too.]

The New California Republic Army. 1st Recon are known for being one of the best units the NCR has to offer.

[If only they weren't trying to spread themselves so thin over the Mojave, maybe they'd be more of a force to be reckoned with. Boone isn't about to say that to Roy, though.]
pimpcoat: (no more stupid things)

[personal profile] pimpcoat 2013-06-04 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Usually Micheletto would think to correct him, but that isn't really on his list of things to worry about right now. He shakes his head and turns around.]

I will find the way out of here.

[And when he does, he isn't going to mess about telling everyone else where it is. He has stuff to do back home. He starts walking away quickly, taking long, hurried strides.]
leanonstuff: (Question)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Rad... scorpion?

[Norman has never heard scorpions described as 'rad'. Personally, he doesn't think they're all that special.]

Radiated? [This isn't some sort of war zone! ...Is it?]

All I found were invisible barriers. I don't know anything about those others things. You must be a soldier?

[He said he was 'on duty' and he kinda has the soldier look. The weapon adds to the effect.]
thumbsdown: (for carla)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The smaller ones aren't so tough to kill, but once in a while you run across some giant ones. If you're fast, you can outrun them.

[If you're packing armour piercing bullets, you can kill them... but there tend to be groups, and if you get cornered you're as good as dead.]

This place doesn't seem all that affected by the war from what I can see here, but that doesn't mean that it's safe out there. Some places just get lucky. It doesn't matter in the end. If the bombs didn't get it, something else will. That's just how the world works.

[Invisible barriers? That doesn't make sense to Boone. Of course, he realises he isn't exactly a genius, but... and how can you not know anything about radscorpions, or the radiation? Did this guy just crawl out of a Vault or something?]

...I was. I'm not anymore.
leanonstuff: (You don't say)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sure... if you say so.

[Maybe the term 'giant' is relative. A giant scorpion could still be pretty small if it's just in comparison to other ordinary sized scorpions.]

What war? Were you in Afghanistan?

[Oh geez, hopefully they aren't in Afghanistan now. Going after serial killers is one thing; living in a war zone is another.]

Oh... sorry.
thumbsdown: (what is it?)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, now this guy was seriously... acting strange. Everyone knows about the war. He actually peers over his sunglasses at Norman with narrowed eyes, arching an eyebrow.]

The war. Are you messing with me right now? I don't have time for games.
leanonstuff: (Gonna cross my arms and lean back)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not messing with you. Are you messing with me?

[He has no idea what the war could be.]

Can you give me a clue what you're talking about?
thumbsdown: (what the hell)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[The man seems genuinely confused. Is he brain damaged? Maybe he comes from a Vault that never even mentions the outside world, or history...? He has no idea how someone can be so uninformed.]

October 23rd, 2077. Nuclear weapons are launched by pretty much everyone who has them. Lasted two hours, near enough destroyed the entire world. That war.

[Christ, that's not something he's ever had to explain before.]

[personal profile] paradoxoftime 2013-06-04 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles at Pyrrha's appreciation, always glad to know he's done something that someone finds helpful.]

It's no problem.

[While his roommate makes herself comfortable, Link finishes getting himself ready for bed, then goes to turn off the light. The room is completely dark; thanks to the wardrobe blocking the door, not even the small bar of light from the hallway sneaks in. Luckily, there really isn't anything to trip over as he makes his way back to his bed and flops down onto the mattress.]

Sleep well.
leanonstuff: (Question)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Woah... woah. What?!

[That's not an amusing joke! Although Norman knows he'll be either dead or extremely old by then, it's still not something he likes the idea of.]

Of course I don't know about that war... it hasn't happened. It's only 2011.
thumbsdown: (INT: 3)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Boone groans and rubs his forehead. Great, he's insane.]

So you're telling me you're from nearly 300 years ago. Alright, fine. We'll have it your way.

[How do you deal with crazy people? Boone doesn't know.]

If I find a radscorpion out here I'll be sure to find you.
leanonstuff: (You don't say)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Boone is the insane one here, talking about wars that haven't happened and being hundreds of years in the future.]

Yeah, I guess I am.

[Hopefully there are no giant scorpions lurking around here. That's going to make him worry at night... luckily he's able to sleep on a top bunk since no one else is sharing his room.]

Anything else I should look out for?
thumbsdown: (for carla)

[personal profile] thumbsdown 2013-06-04 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be here for hours listing them all, but yeah. Where I'm from we have a ghoul problem, but those are easy enough to shoot down so long as there's not a whole herd of them.

[Which could potentially happen one day, if the root of the problem isn't sorted out. He knows Manny is more worried about it than he is, but maybe that's because Manny actually wants to stay in Novac. Boone has nothing left in that place.]

If you're especially unlucky you might into Cazadores, Nightstalkers or Deathclaws. Giant Radscorpions can be hard to kill, too. Everything else will usually go down in a few shots, and isn't as likely to come at you in packs or poison you. Get yourself cornered and nine times out of ten it's game over. You should keep that in mind no matter what you're up against.
leanonstuff: (Was there something else you needed?)

[personal profile] leanonstuff 2013-06-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ghoul problem...

[He's not even sure he wants to know exactly what that means. Hopefully all of this is just nonsense.]

Those are some pretty scary names there.

[Norman isn't sure if he's prepared to fight something called a 'deathclaw'. Maybe it would be best to have this guy as an ally after all.]

And you think those things could be here, in the school?

[personal profile] thatcatfrom101 2013-06-04 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roy bristles slightly. Of course he'd use his gun for protection! What, did this guy think he'd go shooting like a madman or something?]

Whoever brought us here can't be safe, so you bet your ass I'm savin' a bullet for 'em.

[He looks down at the offered hand a moment, seeming to consider his next move, before offering his own. He's pulling away as soon as one shake is accomplished, though! Probably for the best, as Roy's hands were all grimy and decorated in cuts. Oops!]

Roy.

[Get with the times, Norman!]

Like I said, I need to get to Rivet City. But ya seemed pretty convinced the place doesn't exist.

[Even if there's a chance he was totally dicked over, he has to check.]

But maybe ya can tell me if you've seen an older middle aged guy around here somewhere? Labcoat, 101 jumpsuit?

[Maybe there's a chance...]
