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.))

[dharmicrevelation]

I see. Very helpful.

[ Arjuna says dryly, even if he does understand the desire to make wise-cracks. ]

[sourtime]

Yeah, I live to serve.

But that's basically what you were saying too, wasn't it? That we're stuck in this shithole with nothing to do?

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Maybe a lit— wait. ]

...Hold on a moment. I didn't say anything like that.

It was more of an observation that our captors have given us minor things to occupy ourselves with. Not to mention, I don't believe we have 'nothing to do'.

[sourtime]

Okay. So what have we got to do? Because if it was as easy as finding the exit and going alright, peace out, it feels like you wouldn't be here observing.

[dharmicrevelation]

Obtain more information in whatever way we can.

Then, find a way to strike back.

[ This feels straightforward to him. ]

[sourtime]

That's so vague, it could mean anything.

[ But also, no matter what the details are, it's objectively right! Which is annoying to her. ]

[dharmicrevelation]

[ Whomp whomp whomp...at least Arjuna does not exactly seem necessarily too pleased so far. That will come when the kidnappers have been finished off and they're back home. ]

Well, it's because how we strike back won't be only by physical means. But, because we don't have much to work with just yet, it isn't as if I can immediately go into details.

[sourtime]

I know, okay?

[ She doesn't love saying it aloud! Deena shrugs her shoulders, giving the room a quick once-over. ]

But that takes time that we don't have.

[dharmicrevelation]

[ There's a moment of pause on his end, and he shakes his head. ]

We don't have much choice.

Doing anything too rash won't get us anywhere either.

[sourtime]

Is anything gonna get us anywhere?

[ This statement is, also, objectively correct. It sure would feel good to run off half-cocked and do some stupid shit, though! Like, for example, just assuming the mod NPC is her canon adversary specifically and yelling at her while hemorrhaging spoilers for five straight minutes! ]

... Fuck it. I guess we're investigating.

[ She means this generally, not that she's going to be investigating with him, but also this is a tiny vault with almost nothing open! Deena doesn't know that, but objectively, she could turn on her heel and stomp out of the room right now and they'd still be in each other's orbits. ]

[dharmicrevelation]

...

[ 'Is anything gonna get us anywhere?' Such a statement, filled with fiery frustration does perhaps remind him a bit of someone he happens to know...

Anyway. At the very least, he doesn't seem offended by the comment; he is far too calm to exert such words himself. ]

We may as well, yes. Eventually, we'll find at least something. I for one hope it's at least something useful.
