The Pathetic Vault Dweller's Survival Guide
Chapter 2: The Sun and Megaton
Dearest reader! You have survived—shot the Overseer and lost a friend— but you have survived nonetheless! Now you budding career as a Capitol Wasteland Adventurer can begin!
"Ahhh! My eyes! So bright— what the hell is that thing?"
Oh yes, the sun! You have spent your whole lifetime underground that you have never been able to behold its sweltering glory! My advice is to find some sunglasses… hopefully you have explored enough dead bodies to get a pair. If not, its shopping time!
…But first, I strongly advise that you stop starring at it, you are burning your retinas!
"Much better! Wow! Now I can see that this place is a dump!"
Welcome to the Capitol Wasteland! Your new home! Mmmmm…just breathe in that irradiated air!
"*Coughs uncontrollably*"
I said breathe it! Yeah, I know, its horrible— but its not changing! Nuclear Holocaust tend to destroy of the niceness of the Earth…are you banging on the vault door?
"Let me in! I'm so sorry! Just don't let me be out here! *sobs*"
I know you can't hear it because it's a blast door, but the remaining guards are actually laughing at you. Time to get used to it my friend. You'll be trekking along the ruins of the American civilization, from sea to shinning sea…but don't drink the water, its worse than the air…
"I want to die!"
I hear the suicide rate out here is actually sky-high…along with the murders. So, that wish is easy to accomplish. But I'm here to help you get past that!
"Wait I see a group of people! Heh, look at their spikes and weird haircuts! Are they beckoning me over to them? They say they have food!"
Run!
"What- but food!"
I said run! Those are Raiders and they love ripping fine folks like you asunder with bullets…or fire…or knives…or rocket-launchers…
"Oh my god! They are running at me with spiked bats!"
Oh, and those too! Just keep running. They do actually get bored of chasing you…sometimes. Just run through that destroyed suburban neighborhood until you reach a sign that says "Megaton".
"Ha ha…There's a stupid robot guarding a tower of metal…"
That's Megaton!
"Oh god…"
Yep! Possibly your new town my vault-dwelling friend! You can blame this new life-style on your Liam Neeson voiced father! Now, run inside and breathe in that atom-bomb air!
"*Coughs uncontrollably*"
I said breathe it!
R&R if you will please— mostly about more ideas for chapters!
