DAY TWELVE
 Complex Population: 13 You wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always. However, it's completely dark. There's only the rumbling of a generator, and it's not clear what time it actually is. Maybe you should step outside to see what's going on. ic rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard |

[not even the slightest bit sad he killed her, nope :)]
Annnnd...well, last but not least, let's do Ciel. Perhaps he's older than he looks...

Ciel Phantomhive
EMPLOYEE ID:
VTMGMT62270567
PRIMARY RESIDENCE:
Sands Point, New York, USA
AGE:
13
HEIGHT & WEIGHT:
5'0" / 95 lbs
SKILLS:
Business Management, Tactics and Strategy, Marksmanship
BIOGRAPHY:
Born into old money as the second of a pair of twins, Ciel was frail, sickly, and more introverted than his minute-older brother. Preferring strategy games and mechanics, Ciel became partial to chess, board games, and tinkering with small, toy robotics; things he could do inside in peace and quiet without upsetting his asthma.
Ciel's father, Vincent, worked within the pre-War US government, what would later become the Enclave, before his death. On the twin's tenth birthday, the family was attacked by unknown assailants. Vincent, his wife, Rachel, the butler, and the dog were killed, the house was torched, and the twins kidnapped for nefarious experimental purposes.
For a month or so, the twins (a good "catch" for science) and other children were subjected to biological experimentation while kept in cages underground. During one of the last bout of tests, Ciel inadvertently lucks out of the death lottery, and his brother is taken and subsequently dies. Saving grace comes in the form of an early prototype Assaultron left as a guard in the room. Terrified of dying like his brother, Ciel tries to re-programs the Assaultron, but it instead goes rogue. The Assaultron kills everyone, taking one of Ciel's eyes in the process though allowing him a means of escape. With bunker tools, he de-powers the Assaultron and re-works the programming until it functions from voice-activated commands.
The downside of the companionship is the Assaultron is a machine that can turn against Ciel, and it will explode if destroyed.
Returning home, Ciel takes on the persona of his better brother (whose name had been Ciel). The Assaultron becomes his butler, which he names after his previous dog, Sebastian. With Sebastian's help, Ciel acclimates again to life, taking on his family's money and burnt house, hiring new staff, opening a robotic toy company, and agreeing as successor to a government official to become overseer for one of the Vaults.
INTERVIEWER'S NOTES:
[ COMMENTS REMOVED BY VAULT-TEC HR ]
no subject
[Alice why. Alice no. WHY DO YOU LIKE HIM MORE NOW THAT YOU KNOW HE GOT PEOPLE KILLED AND STOLE HIS BROTHER'S IDENTITY.]
no subject
[Seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF THEM]
Should we check the Vault Door Live Feed, then?
no subject
[SHE REALLY DOES WONDER... but then she shrugs and reaches over to select it.]
If we're going to walk in there, we might as well know what's waiting for us.
no subject
The camera is clearly very high up, on some kind of mountain, and it gives them a wide view of the wasteland before them. There are skeletons of forests and cities for as far as the eye can see. It seems that the worst did indeed come to pass, and the world fell into ruin after the bombs dropped. The sensors may indicate safe levels of radiation, but there's very little to return to on the surface.
In the distance, they can see a fuzzy, dilapidated skyline that they might know as Atlanta's. It's hard to make out any detail because of the quality of the video, but it seems that the buildings are in disrepair, since the skyline looks almost broken.
The camera can be rotated about 90 degrees in either direction, but the view is largely the same. It's a view of ruin and death, and from this vantage point, it's not even clear if anything is left alive at all. ]
no subject
Well.
That's about what Alice expected, all things told; nothing is waiting for them, indeed. She is quiet for a few long moments as she takes in the view of the grainy, unfamiliar skyline.]
I suppose this is the last call for anyone who would rather die here than go outside.
no subject
[He looks absolutely adamant about this.]
Being nothing but code in a computer isn't a godsend. It's eternal torture.
[A pause. He clenches his fist at his side.]
I'd rather die as a human being.
no subject
[Not as a human, perhaps, but as herself, certainly. She gives the terminal one last once-over before she steps back from it.]
Shall we go, then? The only way to go from here is out.
no subject
[They have to make the first step out to that world sometime. It's best they do it now, before anyone gets cold feet.]
Let's see what the world has to offer us, Alice.
no subject
...away they go, then. Time to take care of those biosensors. Also I really hope someone has been lugging the missile launcher she and Shijima found around because it seems like they're going to need it.]
I guess we get to do one more bit of destruction of property, for old times' sake. ♡
no subject
By the console, there are grisly reminders of the rule of five people, since there are a few clothed skeletons nearby. There are three of them huddled near the gate. It seems their sector only had three survivors, and they died here unable to leave.
But for them? It's only a matter of destroying the security camera like biosensor nearby. Then they'll be able to open the security panel and grab the last five Pip-Boys of Vault 62. ]
no subject
THAT SAID. She doesn't actually know what the biosensor is, so maybe someone should point her in the right direction before she breaks everything she can get her hands on.]
no subject
We have to remove the biosensor for the door to open, so it doesn't register more than five living people.
[He points to the biosensor that is refusing them access to the outside, just like the ones in the operation theater and the trial's killing room.]
no subject
[LET HER FIRE THE MISSILE LAUNCHER SHE AND SHIJIMA FOUND]
no subject
Destroy it.
[Not the best answer.]
no subject
[She's... going for the Fatman. Lord help them all.]
Stand back, everyone. ♡
[Once everyone is a sufficient distance away she is absolutely going to fire it. WHY.]
no subject
WAIT, YOU CAN'T JUST--EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU FIRE THAT THING!!
no subject
[RUN GUYS RUN]

But the explosion is not a small one. She's likely to be thrown back from the force, and her ears will be ringing for a while. Alice is injured, but alive, and the biosensor is quite thoroughly broken.
This will allow them to open the security panel, where they'll find five Pip-Boys. Who actually gets them is up to them to decide, but these five Pip-Boys can be used as a key at the other console.
If there's anything else they want to grab or do, they should do it now. Once the Vault door opens, it'll only stay open for five minutes before closing again. ]
no subject
She's still alive, though, and that's better than the alternative. She really has no one to blame but herself - Ciel did try to warn her. God, that would have been a really stupid way to die.
She struggles into a sitting position and puts a hand up to her head.]
...ouch.
[ELOQUENT.
She needs a moment, but she'll go for one of the Pip-Boys once the others have done what they want to do before the door opens.]
no subject
...I really will need Elizabeth's medkit and all these bandages with all of you being as you are.
[ stop HURTING YOURSELF ]
no subject
I didn't think it was going to make that big of an explosion...
[It was pretty cool though.]
