Prompt 15: Laughing Together (Magnus/Arcade Gannon)
Hey there everyone, welcome back to Mojave Snapshots! I know this series has been a bit short so far, but it is meant to be short little snippets. Anyway, on with the story!
I do not own Fallout: New Vegas, that belongs to Obsidian and Bethesda
"You can't honestly believe this is going to work." Arcade Gannon stated, eyebrow raised. "There is just no feasible way this plan can actually succeed."
"Not really, nah." Magnus admitted, as he hit the button. "But if these crazy fucks wanna fly, let them fly."
Magnus and Arcade stood in the control room, watching the scene in front of them unfold. The roof of the dome slowly opened up, revealing the rockets that contained Jason Bright and his followers. Classical music blared from the speakers, almost drowning out the sounds of the alarms. Suddenly the rockets blasted off, gliding majestically into the air, until they were only red dots in the clear blue sky. First the alarms shut off, and then the music, until only silence remained. After what seemed like an eternity, Magnus finally turned to face Arcade, before the two broke out in fits of laughter.
"Well...it actually worked." Arcade muttered, shaking his head. "Son of a bitch, it actually worked."
"You think they're gonna make it?" Magnus inquired. "To the Great Beyond, I mean?"
"Who knows?" Arcade responded, with a shrug. "There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Magnus fell silent, head tiled in confusion.
"It means anything is possible." Arcade clarified. "We just witnessed a group of ghouls fly off in a rocket ship; everything is on the table at this point, quite frankly."
And Prompt 15 of Mojave Snapshots is done and dusted! I hope all of you wonderful readers have been enjoying this series so far, and to leave a review if you have. Anyway, I hope to see all of you at the next prompt!
