Hammer to Fall

[lucidmutant]

Characters: Fawkes and you!
Setting: Floor Fifteen - Workshop, daytime
Format: Starting in prose, will match.
Summary: Fawkes grows tired of being unarmed, and goes to rectify this.
Warnings: Workin' in a workshop?


Between the various incidents that have gone on since he's been here, Fawkes has determined that this place, like the Capital Wasteland, seems like it will require a more violent approach - especially with the newer residents - namely, the monsters.

Lacking his weapons from home, the best thing to do in a situation like this is improvise.

Fawkes is currently rooting around the workshop for tools and parts he can use to craft a bludgeon of some sort - one of the tables has broken and warped metal bedframe pieces spread upon it.

...kind of a pity that the majority of these tools are sized for smaller hands than Fawkes', but he'll attempt to make do.

"Aaw, I do not believe that! There is always theories of total nuclear destruction and all that stuff, but I think with some work you can still fix the environment! Especially since I think not all of the world got totally destroyed." Oops she was rambling again, but she sadly didn't remember anything about Oasis either. Should'a played Fallout 3.

At the latter part though, she frowned. "I would have thought the people were supposed to protect people though. Why did you get turned into a mutant?"

[lucidmutant]

"In theory, there were things in the vaults to revitalize the outside world once it was safe to come out, but in the case of the one I was in, everyone either was mutated, or killed." It is a terrible thing, and there's a solemn tone to Fawkes' voice as he explains it.

"Apparently the scientists in our vault had other ideas."

[metawoof]

Oh now she's, frowning. Definitely frowning. "These Vaults do not sound like they worked out for their intended purposes. Then again I guess a lot of plots like that never work out if there's super nuclear fallout or something going on."

She looked like she wanted to keep asking about stuff but uh...yeah this conversation topic, she was not sure how much fun it was for Fawkes to actually talk about. So she kept her mouth shut for now.

"That seems to be the case, but despite that, the world carries on. If humanity is anything, it is persistent, even in the face of horrible hardship." He smiles a bit now, still working at his project. "A friend of mine showed me that."

[metawoof]

At that, Echidna gave a giggle. "All my friend showed me was how to mix a martini on the rocks," She joked, but nevertheless looked up at Fawkes with a smile. "That does sound really cool though. I mean your world doesn't sound that happy or anything, but it's proof that humanity is still tough even though we're not cockroaches or bears or something. And that's awesome."

[lucidmutant]

Fawkes nods. "That it is." He pauses for a moment. "The roaches and bears are still around, too, come to think of it."

[metawoof]

Huh. More animals survived the nuclear apocalypse than she thought!

"Roaches make sense, since everyone always says that they'll survive World War 3 or something. Bears are just evil I think. They're like the number 4 threat to human society or something."

Yup.
