DAY TWELVE

[judgejudy]

DAY 12 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

[selfdenying]

I'm not.

[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.

[selfsufficiency]

...me too.

[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.

[selfdenying]

Let's go.

[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.

[selfsufficiency]

[No time like the present!

...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. ♡

[ As they head up to the final floor, an elevator takes them only up, though there are options to go down further. But as they head up to the entrance, there's a massive, imposing door with the number "62" emblazoned on it. By the door, there's a box of ugly jumpsuits with the same number, but also a console.

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. ]

[Alice is way too excited about the prospect of breaking shit.

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.]

[alittlemaster]

[Ciel comes up to the entrance after putting Judy back in her Judy Room. This is where he had come when they were all busy trying to murder Rhys after the trial.]

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.]

[selfsufficiency]

You know it best, right? How should we get rid of it?

[LET HER FIRE THE MISSILE LAUNCHER SHE AND SHIJIMA FOUND]

[alittlemaster]

[Oh... you guys have... the Fatman... JUDY?????????????]

Destroy it.

[Not the best answer.]

[selfsufficiency]

Okay!

[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.]

[alittlemaster]

[OH MY GOD]

WAIT, YOU CAN'T JUST--EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU FIRE THAT THING!!

[selfsufficiency]

Then I suggest you all leave right away!

[RUN GUYS RUN]

[judgejudy]

[ How close is Alice to the sensor when she fires... ]

[selfsufficiency]

[I flipped a coin and the coin said far enough back not to get killed]

[judgejudy]

[ CONGRATS ALICE... Because you were definitely about to die...

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. ]

[selfsufficiency]

[Ouch. Well that... sucks, honestly.

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.]

[liven]

[ shijima will go over to help her sit up, at least?? ]

...I really will need Elizabeth's medkit and all these bandages with all of you being as you are.

[ stop HURTING YOURSELF ]

[selfsufficiency]

[bless shijima]

I didn't think it was going to make that big of an explosion...

[It was pretty cool though.]

[liven]

At least it wasn't boring.

[ she thought it was p cool too ]

[selfsufficiency]

That's true. Aaaanyway... ♡

[Once enough time has passed for everyone to do their thing, Alice is going to head over and grab a Pip-Boy! She'll gesture for Shijima to take one too.

(Look I'm just real thirsty for unlocks okay let's pretend this is all happening after everyone does any last-minute stuff.)]

Is everyone ready? Let's go! [Once there are five people with them handy it's time to GO UNLOCK THAT DOOR.]

[liven]

[ shijima will grab one of the pip-boys as well. she's a person, she's handy. ]

Very well. Everyone stay alert.
