You woke up some time later. Rya has next to you , he put a bowl bowl of hot soup on the table. "I am glad that you are here with us, Gwyn. you are lucky to be alive."

>[drink the soup]
>Thanks to you, Doc.
>So what is going on? Delilah told me i have been out for five days
>Other

>>42670040
>>Thanks to you, Doc.
>>So what is going on? Delilah told me i have been out for five days

Always thank your doctor.

"We used the base's supply of Radaways to finish our little project. The radiation dealt by the ghoul was cleansed by this machine. It , to some extent , has saved you. Jean has made some other changes, you better ask him about it."

You took a sip form the bowl. Jean still proved to be the best cook around here. you burned the tip of your tongue though.

>What about this ghoul? what are we going to be with him?
>How is Delilah? did you find her other two anomalies?
>I barely saw Lilith, is she gonna be alright?
>Did you find anything out from the blood sample?

>>42670184
>What about this ghoul? what are we going to be with him?

>>42670410
"About that. We are waiting for you, actually. We need to decide its fate together."

>Just kill the wretched thing already
>I want to talk to him first
>We need to vote on his one.
>Let him go. He had suffered enough
>Other

>>42670504
>is there a way to talk to him without falling into a coma? it sounded like he wanted help with something

>>42670504
>I want to talk to him first

>>42670537
>>42670566
"I told you we used the base's supply of Radaway. most of the detention center is now clean as well as the path to the front gate. He is detained in the bunker."

>[Get up] Time to talk to Mr.Ghoulie then
>I changed my mind, kill him
>Keep him inside for the meantime
>Other

>>42670630
>[Get up] Time to talk to Mr.Ghoulie then
well, let's see what we can do

>>42670643
you tried to get up but your legs soon wobbled. Rya rushed to help you "Easy now, you are still weak. I brought you this." you found an old wheel chair, it had some bloodstains on it and the metal frame on the right half looked really rusty.

>[Sit on the wheel chair]
>Are you fucking kidding me?
>[Try to stand up once more]
>Can i have a cane or something?
>Fuck this, I am too tired to talk to him now.
>Other

>>42670708
>Can i have a cane or something?
no using the wheelchair before a trip to the workshop to turn it into a mini tank

>>42670737
"That is all Jean could find in the Junkyard." the doc admitted.

>[Sit on the wheel chair]
>Are you fucking kidding me?
>[Try to stand up once more]
>Fuck this, I am too tired to talk to him now.
>Other

>>42670805
>[Sit on the wheel chair]

>>42670805
>[Sit on the wheel chair]
can't believe there isn't even a straight pipe or beam around that could make us a decent cane
ah well

>>42670805
>Fuck this, I am too tired to talk to him now.
Aren't we like cursed or something?

>>42670868
nah, it was just the old lady spreading bad luck around her, it's not sticky afaik

>>42670850
>>42670863
You sighed before taking the wheel chair, It felt unnatural but it was necessary until you would recover.

Rya helped you to exit the clinic. Both of you slowly strolled to the bunker. The ghoul was crying from the other side.

"I will you leave you two," said Rya "i got more things to attend."

You chose what to say to the ghoul

>Are you alright?
>You almost killed me pal
>So what do you think we should do to you?
>I need a name, now.
>Other
>>42670868
we absorbed a lethal amount of radiation and survived. No, we are not cursed.

>>42670985
>>Are you alright?

>>42670985
i'd say (in that order)
>what's your name?
>how did you end up here?
>what do you need?

>>42671011
>>42671015
"This is a nightmare...yes, a...a bad dream. that's all. this is not real. I am gonna wake up. I am waking up...i am waking ...up..." He seemed to ignore you.

>Look, don't make it harder on you. Cooperate with me if you wanna life
>Sorry to burst your bubble but this nightmare...is real
>It is real alright. now man the fuck up for a second.
>[Lie] This is a nightmare. it will end by killing yourself
>[Open Door]
>Other

>>42671095
>Sorry to burst your bubble but this nightmare...is real

>>42671122
"No it is NOT!" The ghoul bashed the door with his radioactive fists " There is NO green glowly freaks like me. There is NO large green freaks. NOTHING IS REAL!"

>[Open door]
>You bet your ass it is.
>You are in shock. it is understandable
>Are you a prewar ghoul?
>Other

>>42671095
>>Sorry to burst your bubble but this nightmare...is real

>>42671268
>yes there are, we call them Glowing Ones, they are advanced ghouls, people who were unlucky enough to suck up huge doses of rads and survive

>>42671268
>>You are in shock. it is understandable
>>Calm down and tell me the last thing you remember before everything went to shit.

>>42671274
>>42671293
>>42671296

"I...don't remember anything. Just a name, Private. please, whoever you are, you have to help me to wake up." the ghoul admitted.

>[Briefly mention the important stuff after the great war] Oh boys, this is gonna be a long one
>Try to remember, I have faith in you!
>[Open door]
>[Go and ask ___ to speak with the ghoul]I think i need some help, hang on
>Other

>>42671374
ugh, the only one i see helping him is Kenneth, and i'm sure he's too busy dicking around with his GECK
>[Briefly mention the important stuff after the great war] Oh boys, this is gonna be a long one

>>[Briefly mention the important stuff after the great war]
>>Try to remember, I have faith in you!

>>42671453

>>42671404
you weren't a great storyteller but you manage to cram what mattered in a span of three hours. You had what the ghoul had to say.

"I...I just don't know anymore. I don't want to...believe this nightmare. It is real....too real."

>[Lie] This is a nightmare, whether you liked it or not. You are stuck in it for good. There is no escape. you just have to move on.
>[Lie] This is a nightmare, the only way out is by killing yourself to wake up
>This is a reality, deal with it
>It is real life. your mind isn't ready for its horrors. might as well kill yourself.
>[Open door] I am sick of this, i want you out of my base
>Other

>>42671531

"You sound stressed. Take a minute, lunch will be served soon."

Let's search for some amenities. Shaving kit, hand mirror, relatively good clothes..

>>42671576
>>42671621
>>42671656

"This is a nightmare. it has to be...yes." the ghoul remained for a moment "But i willing to cope with it...until i wake up."

>Whatever you say man
>[Say nothing]
>[Open door] there is no reason to lock you here then
>Sounds good to me
>Other

>>42671703
>Sounds good to me
well then, that's a start
now what?

>>42671703
>[Open door] There is no reason to lock you here then

"Let me know if you need something. I'll be around."

>>42671715

You opened the door. The ghoul just stood there confused. He wore a terribly worn combat armor. Most of the parts simply melted. He was indeed glowing but it seemed like Rya had used the Anti Rad on him; no more radioactive goo on him.

The ghoul lost most of his skin and flesh at his face. Only one eye survived. The other one left an empty socket instead.

>Should i call you private?
>What should i call you?
>Do you want me to pick a name for you? how about ____ [Choose]
>Other


>>42671703

"I guess." Private wasn't very thrilled about it.

"Good, I am Gwyn Grant. welcome to the base" you extended your hand for a shake. He wanted to do the same but he became aware of the dangling layers of skin from his arm. He cut it in disgust before shaking hands with you.

"What now? This nightmare doesn't look so good for my 'kin'."

>you can join us here in the base. We are a happy bunch.
>Your time in the base is done. i politely ask you to leave.
>I will give you some supplies and then you will be on your way.
>Other

>>42671960
>we'll have to see with the rest of the group
maybe Rya can make him look a little better somehow

>>42672036
"With me, Private." both of you went to the mess hall where you found Jean. You asked him to round up everyone in the mess hall.

Soon, everyone was here (But Monique, she was having a nice dream). The place was filled with tension.

"We are here to decide whether private can stay in the base or not."

>Vote Yes
>Vote No

>>42672208
we should ask him if he remembers being skilled at something, or having any good skills first.
that could help everyone decide

>>42672271
"What can you do for us, Private?"

The ghoul stayed silent for a moment. His mind trying to recall anything to counter your question. "I...I am a soldier, yes!" he seemed happy with his recent discovery "Does this nightmare have a good service rifle?"

"No." Jean replied "But show us what you got with this 9mm." he tossed a 9mm to him. it took him a couple of seconds before the muscle memory would kick in. He looked pretty good with it. Some were mildly amused with his act.

>Vote yes
>Vote No

>>42672387
>Vote yes
well, he can at least work as security or something

>>42672387
>Vote yes

We'll get him a better gun soon.

>>42672470
it probably wouldn't be too easy to turn a pistol or two into rifles
shitty ones, probably, but that'd at least be more suited for him

>>42672470
>>42672505

>>42672404
"Jean?"

"You will get a no from me."

"Aphrodite?"

"I trust no ghoulie."

"Rya?"

"I am intrigued to study him. he must have been soaked in radiation for decades. Yes, oh yes."

"Vivian?"
"I don't share Dr. Rya's enthusiasm. He is walking time bomb. I don't want him here."

"Delilah?"

"Yes."

"Lilith?"

"I follow your lead, yes."

"Ugly?"

"He tried to hurt Human Grant. No for me."


you wanted to figure out how to break to tie

>Wake Monique up

the guy didn't really try to hurt us after all, it was more an accident than anything

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>42672573
"Come on Ugly, He was literally crawling for help. He didn't mean it."

"I-"

"Don't try to change his vote, Gwyn." Jean intervened.

"Look, Pal," Jean addressed Private "You might be useful but half of us don't want you here. So when democracy fails..."

Jean threw a Legion's coin in the air "Lucky will decide..."

>1= Stay
>2= Leave

>>42672704
well, shit.

>Don't intervene

>>42672704

>>42672730

[to Jean]
"so you're just going to throw him out like that when he has no idea how this world works?"

>>42672730
>>Say something
>>So since you're so stuck on getting him out the door I suppose you have some idea where he should go?

A coin toss? You're shittin me.

>>42672730
>Say something
>Hand Jean a loaded pistol
"May as well do it yourself. Cleaner that way."

>>42672851
>>42672860

>>42672823
"We are in the wastes, Gwyn. You are I are lucky to live in one of the most secure places in the Mojave. you don't wanna say fucking yes to everyone in the wastes. We aren't a charity. The best i can do for him is some supplies."

"Where should i go? I know NOTHING about this nightmare?" Private exclaimed.

"Not my problem. Just keep in mind that everyone will try to kill you first out there from now on. Come with me." Both Jean and Private left. The rest dispersed as well.

Delilah approached you. She didn't look happy " Do you think this was fair?"

>Sadly it is.We can't save everyone
>It is Jean's Base after all.
>[Leave] Fuck this, I will talk some sense into him
>Other

>>42672966

you were bummed out from this situation. This ghoul might have been a good friend in this harsh world. you exited the mess hall. Jean had already gave private a backpack. He looked like he was giving him some instructions.

You approached the dyad. Jean was showing him the way to the front gate . Private briefly stopped "Well, see you soon, Gwyn."

>Good luck, Private.
>Jean, this isn't right...
>[Say nothing]
>[shake hands with him]

>>42672966

At least treat him like a fucking person.

>>Good luck, Private.

we should tell him where the Tribal camp is, it's probably the less shitty place to be around for him

You shook hand with the glowing one. you watched in silence as Jean opened the front gate. Private gave you one last look before Jean would close the gate.

You chose what to do afterwards

>Speak with___
>Go to ____
>Head back to clinic, rest and sleep
>Other

>>42673317
they love eating radioactive ghouls, they haven't eaten a glowing one in a long time. I don't think it would be a good idea

>>42673350
i thought they didn't eat the intelligent ones, but fair enough


>Go to the junkyard
see if you can improve the wheelchair, or at least make it look less flimsy

>>42673350
>>Speak with Lilith
See how she's healing

It's a goddamn shame when the most humane people in the group are a Deathclaw, a Whore assassin, and Doctor Fucking Rya.

>>42673406
>>42673350

you wanted to improve your wheelchair but you were too tired to stress yourself out.

Lilith startled you when she reappeared next to you. Her arm looked better? you couldn't tell

"Don't.Do.That."

The whore remained silent "Are you alright?"

"Yes I am, I am hoping the same for you, Gwyn."

>Yeah, i am already getting sick of this god damn chair
>It is a phase. It will be over soon

"Come on, Gwyn. It is bed time." She grabbed the handle of the wheel chair and guided you to the clinic. She help you to get comfortable inside the bed "Sleep well."

Xang's words kinda made sense now as you started to read on aliens. The first few pages were simply lots of random letters and numbers carefully arranged in a six lettered words. the rest were unknown symbols and meaningless equations written haphazardly. It was strange to read something this Bizarre written by a man of science.

You closed the book and delved into a deep sleep. you were determined to face what lied ahead.


And that concludes our thread. Thank you for participating.
