INTRO

Vault 113

You wake feeling groggy. You have the distinct sense of oversleeping, even if you may not recall ever going to bed in the first place. And this bed? Definitely not yours, no matter how comfortable it may be. And you'd probably not go to sleep in your street clothes*, right? Well, maybe it's time to smooth out your bedhead and get exploring!

(*or whatever else you were wearing at the last moment you remember)

The first thing you'll notice is the complete absence of windows - are you underground? Though you'll encounter quite a few closed doors, there are some rooms for you to look through and maybe catch your breath in. Maybe it's time for a slushie in the dining room? Impatience won't get you anywhere!

And what's better than a sweet drink to bring strangers together? After all, you're not the only one who's crawled out of bed a little late today. Mingle and don't worry too hard about your current predicament!

((The Mastermind will introduce themselves at 7pm EST real time.))

[oversawed]

[Irritating. Now she understands how Babs felt when the twelve year olds kept making fun of him.]

It's a dead country full of dead people.

Who cares?

[magician_0f_words]

If you're going to be an evil wizard, you might as well get your facts straight! What kind of dark overlord can't pronounce America right? Couldn't you have asked Kanon about it?

[He's so smart. You don't even know how smart he's being right now.]

[oversawed]

Guess I'm just a sweet as sugar overlord then. Sorry to let you down, little man.

[magician_0f_words]

[He will kill her. For Satoko.

Wait, wouldn't that result in him getting executed? Uh, details.]

[picnicked]

Wait, what do you mean, "dead country"?

[oversawed]

I mean, it's dead.

Destroyed in a nuclear blast. This vault is a fallout shelter. Above ground is an uninhabitable wasteland of radiation and mutated corpses.

[yuritrash]

Ah, not to sound impertinent or anything, but can you prove that? From our perspective, for all we know, we're in an unused basement floor of a skyscraper somewhere.

[oversawed]

I mean, I can, but we'll save that for another day. It was wiped out in some war against the "Red Scum."

[modularized]

[



... ]

Unless this isn't the west coast of North America, that doesn't sound any different than where I'm from...?

[oversawed]

I mean, yeah, same.

[modularized]

[ oh wow, twinsies with the arms AND their worlds apparently. ]

... Did you decide on who to bring here, or is that all just coincidence?

Aaaaand, even if someone does play the game, is the machine actually working right? If it brought all of us here when it wasn't supposed to.

[picnicked]

[HM. CONCERNING. But also it's barely past the cold war for Grimmer so he can't be that surprised.]

Can't help but feel like those of us who weren't already in America were better off left alone then.

[pottedplant]

Seconding.

[Pretty sure that goes double for one of the most obvious non-humans...]

[oversawed]

Well, to be entirely fair, the entire world is like this. The... [She pauses.] "Earth" has been a radioactive wasteland for two hundred years here, apparently.

[picnicked]

[He frowns.]

Two hundred years? That can't be right. Unless you're saying we've been moved not only through space but also time.

[oversawed]

I can explain the physics to you but I suspect you won't get it.

This is a different... iteration of Earth to the one you're used to. An alternative future for most but not all of you.

[picnicked]

[It's... pretty difficult to believe, but so is a woman appearing out of a pile of blood, and he sure did just see that with his own eyes, so.]

I'm assuming asking for proof is pointless, so for now, we don't have much of a choice to believe you, I guess!

[theinstigator]

[ In 22 years, the first shot will be fired. Not a shot from a gun -- an atomic device that will level all of me. All of me. ]
