On the Road

It’s been a long road from Quincey since the gunners chased you out. Ghouls, supermutants. Not to mention all of the raiders. Now you’re headed to concord. It’ll be a few hours till you get there with nothing to do to pass the time but chat with your fellow survivors.

Tex
right-aligned image

An average looking cowboy walks along a dusty trail, taking the time to reload his pistol and examine it to ensure it does not need any repairs. Everyone seems to be quiet, feeling the sting of rejection having been chased and shot at by everything under the sun. Tex considers singing an old camp song as they traveled but thought better of it. One, because everyone seems to be in a quiet mood. Two, because he doesn't have a guitar. And most importantly, Three, because he is not that great of a singer.

Monique
right-aligned image
Monique lead her pack brahmin, loaded with gear, along as she walked with the others. She had been lucky to get out at all, much less with her trade goods, but it had been worth the risk. Freeing into the badlands with nothing but the shirt on one's back was choosing a slow death sentence instead of a quick one. Now, at least, they had something to barter with for food, shelter, and ammo. Of course, they also had something worth stealing, as well.

She'd refrained from saying anything, giving everyone time to adjust and lick their wounds, trying to judge the correct time to begin to raise spirits again. It was tricky, a thin line. Too soon and people would resist the attempt, possibly becoming hostile. Too late, and the group could begin to create its own problems beyond the ones they currently faced, as blame and resentment for others built undetected and unexpressed. Enough time needed to pass for a blister to form, but not enough for it to burst on its own.

Monique decided to start off simply, practically. No "rah-rah go team" speech, no "buck up and work together" cheers. However, a practical topic might at least get people talking, let her gauge everyone's mood. "Anyone need first aid?" she asked, glancing around. "And was everyone able to grab water to drink?"

Walking along at the back of the group so he doesn't get them all shot, Tom itched under his armor for a second before pulling something wiggling out that had found its way in. Eyeing it for a second, he pops it in his mouth before making a single chew and swallow motion. He kept eyeing the pack brahmin but knew that it wasn't for eats... yet...

When the question came up for water or injuries, he just shook his head and rumbled back

"Tom is fine. Just hungry is all. Bored by all this walking. We there yet? Tom want to eat and get grub. "

Andrew is lost in his own thoughts. Mainly over his adopted son Colin and his end. Lost in a flash of green, and there wasn’t even a body to bury. Just green goo residue left by the barking of a plasma rifle. He didn’t know how to tell Colin’s siblings what had happened. Of course getting word to them would be another story, given ghouls were banned from Diamond city.
He trudged along. Andrew was already wondering how much of a crapshoot Concord was going to be.

Tex

When Monique asked if anyone needed first aid, Tex just shook his head no, but when she asked if everyone was able to grab some water to drink, the Texan did a quick check and replied "Aw shoot. I must of lost my canteen during the chase. If we don't reach Concord by nightfall, I reckon I might need something to drink if you have any to spare."

Monique

Monique resisted the urge to pat Tom to comfort him. She wasn't worried about his size so much, as she'd gotten used to the giant, she just wasn't sure how he'd feel about his personal space. "It shouldn't be too much longer to Concord," she assured him, though there were several rather imposing "if's" in the way: "if" they weren't attacked en route, "if" weather didn't force them to take shelter, "if" they didn't get lost, "if" Concord let them in, and "if" Concord hadn't been attacked just like Quincey.

She nodded to Tex in acknowledgment. "Got an extra purified water, if you need it," she offered. The last thing they needed was a medic sick from dehydration. "Just let me know."

Jeff tips his hat towards Monique, "Thanks ma'am. I appreciate it." Looking up towards the sky, he figures the weather was going to cooperate and that they should reach their destination before dark, so he added, "Lord willing, we will get to Concord before I need it, but it is good to know that we are prepared if otherwise."

M.I.S.S. MISS floats alongside the mostly quiet group of survivors. Their Behavioral Mod was registering a dozen emotional states among the humanoids, and the readouts were clear - Miss Monique and her companions were primarily SAD, HUNGRY, and possibly MOURNING. They had never encountered MOURNING previously, and it was a new experience. MISS did not experience feelings, not like the humanoids, but their programming dictated an initialization of their CONSOLATION Subroutine.

“M-M-MISS MONIQUE-IQUE, I can sense a prevailing SADNESS among yourself and your friends. Would you perhaps benefit from a session of GROUP THERAPY? Perhaps a one one-on-one PSYCHOEVALUATIVE THERAPY session?” They pause for a moment as their gears whirr and thruster burns. “I am also equipped with a radio and high fidelity speakers, perhaps I can LIGHTEN THE MOOD with some SOOTHING MUSIC?”

Monique gave a slight smile at MISS' enthusiasm, and just shook her head. "I think the psych evals can wait a bit," she said kindly; after all, the 'bot was just doing what it was programmed to. "Maybe some music, but keep it on low volume. We don't want to attract attention."
