vault113 | WEEK 1 MINGLE

'cuz it's a sin to tell a lie.

Week 1

As you sleep, you find your mind plagued with strange dreams. You’re still trapped, of course, there’s no way to avoid that, even in the comfort of your own mind, but you’re alone. Utterly alone. The radios and jukeboxes scattered around the place all spring to life, as if they’re speaking to you directly. On the other end, you see people talk about you. From your own perspective, it can’t have been more than… 48 hours since you were taken. From the perspectives of those on the outside, the times don’t match up nearly so well. It might have been days. It might have been weeks. It might have been months.

The voices discuss you. They discuss the way things have changed. They talk about how you just suddenly disappeared without a trace. Maybe they’re glad, glad that you weren’t around to see what happened without you. Or maybe they’re angry. Maybe they know that it was your fault. If only you’d been there, none of this would have happened. If you’d met up with that friend, they wouldn’t have died. If you’d been there to save her, things would have been different. If you had apologized, maybe… or if you hadn’t abandoned your responsibilities…

You don’t get the specifics either way. Your dream - or vision, it leaves your imagination to do all the work. But there’s one thing you can be absolutely sure of.

You are running out of time.

Well, what’s there to be glum about? The vault is your home now, lovingly prepared by Vault-Tec™! Who cares what some ghosts from the past have to say about you, eh? It’s not like you’ll ever see them again.

And no matter how deeply you were sleeping, The Overseer’s voice sounds out on the intercom and seems to wake you immediately.

“Hello, lovelies. We’ve decided to be extra generous to all of you, so we bring some good news for a change. I’m sure in the last few days, you’ve gotten pretty sick of that walled off little cellblock you’re cramped in, so you’ll be positively giddy to learn that we’ve prepared and unlocked the rest of the first level for you all to explore to your heart’s content. If you’ve given up on ever getting out of here, make yourself at home. If you haven’t, well, there’s plenty of fun and interesting tools to integrate into your work whenever you decide to take advantage the former group’s complete lack of initiative or willpower.

Oh, and before I forget… check the common room before you go.”

With that particularly nasty announcement, you will find that the doors that locked the rest of this floor off to you have all been opened up. And in addition to that, the profiles have been made public, joining the rules as framed pictures in the common room.

And if you wish to contact your Overseer or her robotic assistant, you are free to stop for a chat.

Vault 113: a short-run murdergame

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

He's a shut-in who only wants to game and watch anime. Wouldn't leave his room if you paid him, sometimes we have to break his door down because he's been in there for two weeks straight.

[RIP Levi's image, which to be fair doesn't exist.]

Come to think of it, I don't know if this would be a vacation for him or not...

[ if only i was playing 45 so she can be like 'oh, so g11, got it' ]

Haha, for a demon he doesn't sound so scary then!

[The experience of otaku siblings is truly universal....... minus Sopmod, apparently.]

He really isn't all that scary. He's probably more scared of most people than they are of him. [half-smile] Just don't mess with his fan pride, or something.

[ nope, no otakus in her familial circle here. ]

Aww, poor guy. Did someone mess with his collectibles or merch at some point or something?

What do you think? There's some of us who only think about money, and what could be sold for money... and others who stick their noses in where they don't belong...

There was even a quiz show one time because he was mad the exchange student was claiming to be a bigger fan of his favorite series. Well, I only heard about it secondhand, I'm just glad I didn't get stuck in another twelve-hour marathon.

I don't really know all that much about things like religion. Just that demons are supposed to be a bunch of scary bad guys who punish people in hell or whatever ... But I think they would have mentioned if you had animal tails?

[ where did the spade tails all the Halloween costumes have come from then. ]

Your brother just sounds like a super nerd.

Eh, that's what the Celestial guys want you to think -- it's not like we play by their rules or human rules entirely, anyway. A lot of us have always had animal traits. Do the demons where you're from not have pointy tails?

[He's just saying!! Halloween costumes do have tails!!]

And yeah, Levi's a huge nerd. Still powerful. But nerdy. And you can scare him back into his room if you know your stuff.

Yeah, but those all look like... spades, I think? Backwards hearts? And they're flat! Not all fluffy like yours.

Most of us have different types of tails, too. And there are some without.

I don't remember if any have got spade tails, though. I wonder who that's supposed to be based on...
