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.))

[ he grins; it's very punchable. ]

I dunno, the truth can be kinda wild sometimes. [ no elaboration on that. ] If we're talking about kidnapping, that experience is getting to be old hat for me. And I'm not interested in conquering anything, but the lottery maybe.

But I just mean if you're gonna play a villain, spice it up a li'l. Live your villain dream.

[underinworld]

That was just messing around, I'm no good at being a villain. My shtick is 'relative peace', so of course I couldn't come up with something messed up enough to reply with.

[Hah, she's too much of a Chaotic Neutral to really be imaginative when it comes to hypothetical evil]

[nambu]

Relative peace, eh? Ha, that's realistic. I get you.

[ he nods to her clothes. ]

But what's up with the cape?

[underinworld]

[Erin's hands move to shove the cape a little behind her. It's completely ineffectual]

Fashion statement.

[...partly true, but a cape and the clothes on the icon of the toplevel sure aren't what she would wear casually. Long story, really]

[nambu]

[ his face says uh-huh, OK.

but he's also a blond guy wearing a yellow suit, so. ]

Is it usually heroes who want capes or villains? Can't remember.

[underinworld]

Both. Anyone who wears one and can't pull it off is trying too hard, anyway. They should use it for picnics instead. Whatevs.

[...Erin Winters doesn't look bad, but her short stature, lack of muscle definition, and glasses don't make it look imposing. But at least she doesn't look bad!]

[nambu]

I guess with your attitude, you think you're not trying, but doing.

[ he did see her attempt to hide it, which screams tryhard to him. but he'll be nice and forget that happened. ]

You got a superhero name? Or even a regular name?

[underinworld]

Erin Winters, regular name. I have no secret identities, unless you count 'that she-devil'.

[Some teenagers she messed with for her own amusement at how earnest they are sure call her a bad egg and make references to brimstone and what not, hah. Well, that she once asked one to sign a contract with blood in exchange for a favor did nothing to quell that despective accusation, but still, hah]

[nambu]

[ that she-devil can apply to so many people though... ]

So basically you're gonna be the most wild one here.

[underinworld]

If I am, then living here is going to be a very mellow and boring time for us all.

[Because she fancies herself sane and orderly, even though she's far more disruptive than most, hah. Once she gets unhappy with this place she'll burst out by breaking a wall or something]
