Fallout, Tales of the Wastes [Need 3-5 Characters, can be Wastelanders]

Kat looked over to Matthew and then to the massive vault door as it slowly broke from its rust and spun over to reveal a small, dank, dimly lit cave. She breathed in deeply, look back to the elevator and then back to the cave. She reminisced about her life in general. Her father and mother were most likely dead now. She felt her eyes well up with tears once more, but she quickly wiped the tears away with her finger. Now was not the time for crying, it was the time to stay strong and make them proud. She really wished she had been less rebellious towards her father throughout her life, actually made him proud rather than just satisfied. But it was too late now. She reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small switchblade, she flicked it open to reveal a rather sharp, slightly taped knife with a small snake carved in. She remembered her friends and held the knife to her heart, with the blade facing upwards towards her head obviously. She flicked the blade back into the handle and stuffed it into her pocket, making her way into the cave.

Kat let her hand slide along the damp walls of the cave, it was a feeling like none other she felt before. She knew she wasn't prepared for what was outside the vault, but she just hoped it was a lot less gruesome than what was inside it. She watched Matthew and Osaki leave and stood still for a bit. She turned back to the vault before facing the wall and breathing deeply. This was it, now or never. She punched the wall, ripping the door open with all her might and sending it slamming against the wall. It would have been more impressive if she hadn't immediately tripped while exiting the vault. It sent her tumbling down onto the hot dirt. She pushed herself up, examining the strange mineral as she rose to her feet and wiped the dirt from her face using her sleeve. The sun blinded her, she protected her eyes with her arm while moving over to Matthew and Osaki.
"I never expected it to be this...bright" She spoke. Her words were hushed, she had no idea why.
"I can see something in the distance over there and that sign seems to point to them. That seems like a good bet to find other people." Her voice now returning to normal as she spoke. Her eyes had mostly adjusted to the sunlight now, she held her hand horizontally above her eyes as she stared off into the distance.

Kat followed Jack out. She'd never really talked or picked on Jack other than the time she'd slashed his face. It seems he didn't hold a grudge against her for that. But hey, the way she saw she did him a favour, some chicks were into scars, made a man look rugged. To Kat it just made them look like a bad fighter but what could she say, some chicks were into it, just not her. She held her gun loosley at her side as she walked with Jack before thinking about the question posed to her. Her brow furrowed and she thought back to her small amount of training.
"Sort of, I had a little bit of training back when I was like 9 but I haven't really fired a gun since then" She turned her hand over and looked at the guns other side.
"If worst comes to worst I think I should be alright."

It feels like right now the only character with pro-vault sympathies, even among the vault citizens, is Jerry. What the fuck

@Xenonia

Kat too!

Wow, Dan is single handedly responsible for the death of the vault and his only family. Smh what a scrub.

Kat stepped out of the elevator cautiosly, letting her jacket slide back into position as the elevator descended and the smell left with it. She looked around the room, it was old and dusty. She doubted the computer would even work let alone open the door. Yet Matthew seemed confident in his abilities so she left him to it. She ran her finger along the wall as she walked towards the gargantuan vault door. She looked at her finger, turning back towards the elevator. It was coated in a layer of grey dust. She rubbed her hand on her trousers before looking inquisitively at a half open door near the back of the room.

Kat had seen where the door presumably led on maps all around the vault. It was the security room, either a security guard was in there or one of those...things were. Elijah, who she was now ignoring just for the fact that she couldn't be bothered with him at the moment, had just come from there so she assumed it was safe. She held her gun up as she crouched through the small gap underneath the door and searched the room. Better to be safe than sorry. It was slightly more lit than the vault entrance room, but it was still sort of hard to see. She searched through the room before hearing noise. She pressed herself against a wall before spinning around and pointing her gun at the potential threat. Suffice to say she was sort of disappointed when it was justJackdaw."Oh it's just you, nerd" She said lowering her gun."You realize we're through there opening the door right? You're welcome to come along if you're at all useful" She said in a joking manner.

Kat wiped her brow once more, the sweat rubbing off on her pale arm. She heard more gunfire, this time closer, the roar of something inhuman and the crack of bones against metal. She bit her thumb again, picking up her jacket and hanging it over her arm before clutching it to her chest. She peeked around the corner, her eyes widened in disbelief and horror at what she saw. A giant, alabaster beast slamming her old goon friend against the wall. It fell soon after she saw it, under a flurry of gunfire as what remained of the security force quickly sprinted off to where another source of gunfire was coming from. She stumbled over to the corpse of her former friend, her legs shaking as she did. The smell hadn't even gotten to her, the shock of seeing one of her only real friends die in such a way was too much. Her eyes glanced over to her left and back to the corpse of her friend before her head turned fully towards what she had glanced at. The other 'goon' friend had been killed in the mess too. She felt her eyes tear up. Her face was soon streaming with tears as she tossed her jacket to her side. She sat like that for a while, attempting to wipe away what tears streamed down her face only to realize it was like trying to dry up a waterfall. She clutched her legs against her chest for a few minutes.

Kat wiped her face for the last time. She grabbed her jacket and got up, stumbling over the bodies. Her eyes were bloodshot as she made her way through the vault. She really didn't know what to do, that thing had just killed so many people effortlessly and had taken a cacophony of bullets before going down. She decided the vault wasn't safe, she had to get to the surface. She had heard refugees talk of settlements outside the vault in the past, it was a small amount of hope, but it was just that. Hope. She made her way to the elevators only to find Matthew and Osaki already at an elevator. Matthew was standing in an elevator filled with gore. Kat rubbed her nose with her forearm before putting on her jacket once more. She regained her posture as she made her way over to the two.
"Are you two going up to the vault door? I sure as hell hope you're not going lower down" She said. She moved her collar over her nose to block out the stench as she entered the elevator. She looked to the ground, a few guns were scattered around with small amounts of ammunition still left in them. She picked up one of the pistols laying on the floor.
"We might need these, I doubt they'd help against those giant albino things though" She held the gun, almost empty on ammunition to her side, waiting for something to happen.

@Dirty Dan If what you think it is is a cropped image of Opal from Steven Universe getting bukkake'd, then yes it is. Otherwise no. Don't worry, that has nothing to do with my character.

@Xenonia

I believe I expressed my interest here before. May I be one of the three applicants?

@Xenonia

I'm pretty sure it's still open so apply away!
