Companions Reaction
Disclaimers I don't own Fallout, please support any to all official releases.
In the wastelands of the new fallout, wild things have appeared here in there, with some becoming a norm, like how any major dispute within the region being resolved by some guy in a vault suit being accompanied by a dog, visitors from outer space, a mysterious stranger who kills indiscriminately and disappear without a trace.
And frankly all those things have become a bit of a norm that it's almost expected to be ironic.
However there have been weirder things like a talking mole rat king with a taste for cheesy poofs, a British police booth suddenly disappearing, and the remains of an archaeologist being found inside a fridge.
Well do to the powers they be, some of our favorite companions have been left to look out and explore the inside of a vault that just randomly appeared, even after the courier/sole survivor have long sense trekked and mapped the majority of the wasteland.
These vaults seem to have no known origin to them, much less don't seem to be registered in Vault-techs official vault lists, but none the less these companions were committed to explore.
Well to make a long story short it seemed that 5 men, a German mad scientist, an all American commando, a rummy obsessed Russian, an honor bound Japanese imperialist, and a Mexican seemed to be the only known, or at the least important people to play inside the vault that is vault 115, according to the scattered notes and holotapes left by said Mexican.
"Where the Hell are we" asked Boone as he began to rub his head, "Ugh, this is what happens when we allow the flying toaster to lead us to an unknown, and in hindsight, a very dangerous and unstable peace of scientific equipment" said Arcade.
"Well at least we're all on the same page and sane enough something happened, though frankly speaking I wouldn't mind this being the after affect of a hangover" said Cass.
"As much as I would like to stand here and watch you guys tear each other apart, I think it's best if we focus on what's important" Raul said smugly.
Meanwhile in another room, we see a different set of companions coming too and are not all that happy.
"Damnit, this is what I get for leaving the synth sympathizer and the former miss Nanny in charge of handling dangling tech" scolded Danse, "Calm down soldier, don't want to do or say something you might regret later on" said Macready.
"Don't tell me to be calm you blood money merc, we got hit by something in that vault, and we've been sent to god knows where" said Danse, "While I don't disagree with you, worrying about it isn't going to help our situation" reason Preston.
"Stay out of this Gravy" said Danse, "Hey now, you know that's not my name" said Preston, "The battle of the century is about to begin, who will win between the top men from the Brotherhood or Minutemen, Danse the Synth in denial or Preston the goody two shoes" said Deacon.
"Shut up Deacon!" said everyone as they were ready to brawl, but the sound of a PA was going on.
"Hello there everyone, I don't know if you can hear me, but I need everyone to calm down" said the voice on the PA.
"Hey, doesn't that guy sound like…" trailed off Veronica, "My name is Pablo Marinus, and like you guys I'm a prisoner of being experimented on in Vault 115, I'm stuck in this control and monitor room, trying to escape this place but to no avail" said Pablo.
"Hey Pablo, I don't know if you can hear us, but is there anyway you can get us out of this small and cramped room, some of us don't do well, and I don't mean claustrophobia" said Piper.
"I can hear you loud and clear, but before I open the door, I need you guys to know that you're not the only ones trapped here, there's another group that's just as scared and confused, but seem good enough people, so please act civilized while I undo the locks to your rooms" said Pablo.
"Not to worry deary, everyone will be on their best behavior" said Lily, "All right, why don't you guys get to introducing yourselves while I continue working things in my station" said Pablo.
Upon releasing the locks of their door, each group was surprised to each different party members from the opposite ends of the united sates coast.
"Would you look at that, we got some fellow wastelanders just like us" said Deacon, "We're nothing alike, you guys seem to be in the shadow of the brotherhood, and whatever that mechanical monstrosity you have there" said Boone.
"This mechanical monstrosity has a name, and it's Nick Valentine you ignoramus" said Nick, "Also ain't this what they call calling the kettle black" Curie pointed out kindly as she was referring to Veronica.
"You mean Veronica, in spite of how she's dressed, she's not only harmless, but the Brotherhood of Steel, at least back home in California is no longer a threat" said Arcade.
"Wait, what happened the West coast chapel of the Brotherhood, knight?" asked Danse, "I'm a scribe actually, but to answer your question, we kind of got our asses kicked by the NCR, no thanks to our last elder and my former mentor" said Veronica.
"Wait, you guys are from the New California Republic" asked Nick, "Technically we're from the recently annexed Mojave wasteland, who's now under the control of the NCR" said Arcade with a pout.
"Get that stick out of your ass, it was either the NCR, or the Legion you Enclave Remnant" said Cass, "Ixnay on the Enclave ay" said Arcade.
"Wait you guys have someone who was in the Enclave" asked Macready, "Of that is it, you're all going down" said Danse as he began to draw his laser rifle, "Finally some action" said Cait as she cracked her neck.
"Enough!" shouted Pablo as he played a loud pitch white noise sound to get everyone's attention.
"Look, like it or not we're all stuck here until further notice, and frankly speaking I don't want to wait till I'm truly nothing but skin and bones till the next competent group arrives, so please set your grievances aside and help search a way out from where you guys are in" said Pablo.
"Good, now please settle down and search the room you're in" said Pablo as the group began to search the large auditorium, but the place lacked any other noticeable entrances or exit, just enough chairs for everyone, and a wide screen for showing films, along with an open concession stand with unlimited food and snacks.
"Hey Pablo, we got some bad news" said Preston, "Let me guess, no known exit" asked Pablo.
"I'm afraid so boss" said Raul, "Damnit, well fingers cross the next group comes soon" said Pablo.
"Exactly how long did you had to wait before we arrived" asked Arcade, "About 3 weeks" said Pablo as everyone jeered.
"Great, we're stuck here till god knows how long with a different group of assholes along with our regular group of assholes in one giant room" said Hancock.
"Watch it Ghoul" warned X6, "Is there anything you can do on your end" asked Preston as he didn't want to see a bloody mess to be the final scene of this room.
"Not really, I could only control the locks to your guys original rooms, the lights in the main room you guys are in, and play movies or shows from you guys, but that's about it" said Pablo.
"Wait, you have access to entertain us, and it didn't occur to you to start off and offer that in the first place because" asked Deacon, "Wasn't a priority" said Pablo.
"He's not wrong, but I guess if we had to pass the time, I figured why not watch a movie on a holofilm till more help arrives" said Arcade, "It's been ages since grandma watch a romance film" said Lily.
"You know, I'd would really like to watch a movie at least once in my life" said Macready, "Such an opportunity to enjoy a cinema, being comedy, drama, romance, and my favorite, documentaries" said Curie.
"It's been a while since I've actually got to see a movie that wasn't a stag film from New Reno, "It's better than standing here waiting for someone to throw the first punch" said Boone, "I must agree with you" said X6.
"I guess there's no harm so long as the films stand to educate us" said Danse, "I think we're in an agreement here Pablo, if you'd be kind to show us some movies or shows, that be awesome" said Preston.
"I guess I can do that, so long as you guys behave yourselves" said Pablo as everyone began to gather snacks and drinks for their first time in the movies, with some of them unfortunately trying some kind of abomination.
"Bleuh, this tastes like fermented herring dipped in cat piss" said Danse as he spat out the contents of a blue bottle that read 'quick revive'.
"He's not wrong, it does taste kind of fishy" said Cait as her face was scrunched up, "It definitely requires a mature pallet" said Cass as she chugged down the bottle without a second chance.
"Wow, so this is what popcorn taste like" said Deacon with a smile, "Forget that, you should try the hotdogs" said Veronica.
"All right people, before I actually start the movie, I'm gonna play a commercial for the sake of sound and visual test, ok" said Pablo as he began to dim the lights as the film projector was playing something.
Evil Dead the game Alpha trailer
-The film starts as we're in the middle of the Michigan forest in the dead of night, as fog covered the land as we hear the sound of demon whisper turning into a hushed whistle as we see an eerie cabin in the woods-
"I had a real life, once. I had a wonderful girlfriend, Linda, together we drove to a small cabin in the mountains" narrated a man
-Panning between the cabin at a different angle, the POV of someone running a rapid speed through these woods, and to someone who was driving a yellow Delta Classic, before the scene paused on a horrifying book with a leathery exterior and a demonic face on the cover as it rested on a dresser next to a lit candle-
"Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the book… of the dead" narrated the same man.
-switching away from the Necronomicon we saw a hallway leading to outside the cabin as it had the door ripped off and the area covered in blood, afore halfway in the narrators explanation we see a different dresser with blood splattered next to a photo of a woman who was smiling and a tape recorder with a man chanting some words in Sumerian, followed by a fruit cellar that was partially opened but was chained shut as blood had been spilt at it's footing, as we see the trophy head of a scary elk as it's eyes were white, with a manic smile plastered on it's face as it gave out a creepy laugh, before concluding back to the POV running towards the cabin again-
"It seems an archaeologist had come to this remote place, to translate and study his latest find, it was never meant for the living" continued the narrator.
-a woman was now approaching the Delta as it had some blood on the side of the vehicle, as she had long wavey hair, wore a purple leather jacket and carried a hunting rifle in her hands before she went and leaned on the hood of the vehicle as the scene switches to a man wearing a full set of medieval armor walking through a door way as he loosened his shoulders, before another POV shot of exploring the forest was being shown, as the knight stepped out the cabin and used his sword to push over a corpse that was laying against the wall-
"The book awoken something dark in the woods" said the narrator.
-We see the corpse earlier standing as his face had the look of an evil man as he had soulless white eyes and blood smeared on his sharpen teeth and on the side of his face as he turned to face the camera, before we saw others like them running in groups as if they were congregating towards somewhere as we got one final shot of the woods-
"They took Linda… and then it came, for me" said the narrator as he was finally revealed.
-Seeing the back of the narrator walking through the cabin as he wore a blue button up and had his hair slicked back was about to walk into the door way, before we transitioned to another man with medium length hair wearing a grey and black plaid shirt and grey chinos as he carried a pickaxe in his hand as he stood out the doorway as he stood next to the knight from earlier, before the narrator himself followed him outside holding a double barrel shotgun in one hand and had his right hand replaced with a chainsaw hand as we got a close up to his face as he had a sharp chin, a few scratches, but it didn't ruin the looks to this handsome devil as he was the narrator and was ready to kickass as we pan out to the group where the woman had suddenly joined them as she lowered her rifle, with the screen turning to black as the words Evil Dead the game slowly appeared again as distorted screams were heard to the words were visible-
End
The final seconds of the trailer was the 4 characters switching back and forth killing deadites in all the possible ways that can be done in gratuitous, grotesque fashion.
While it was entertaining to the very few, everyone else had their own opinion.
"What in gods brown earth did you just showed" demanded Arcade, "What the hell kind of snuff film are you trying to show us" demanded Danse, "I haven't been this creeped out since my tour in Bitter Springs" said Boone with a grimace.
"Yeah, I can't even find anything positive to say" said Deacon, "I'll admit, I've seen some brutal things in the Combat Zone, but this left me with the heebie-jeebies" said Cait.
"I'm honestly to fucking sober to even deal with shit like this" said Cass as she began to pop the top to her whiskey, "Mind splitting that with me, I'd much rather forget what I saw" said Macready as Curie had long since hid behind him after the first deadite appeared.
"Pablo, you've got explaining to us, just what the hell kind of trailer was that" asked Preston, "Sorry about that, I'd forget you guys' haven't been here long enough to be desensitized by some of the media that's across the multiverse" said Pablo.
"What's this about multiverse" asked Arcade, "Another time, but to answer your question, what you guys saw was the video game trailer to Evil Dead the game that came out late 2022 early 2023 if I believe" said Pablo.
"What do you mean game, like one of those holodisk games that came with comic books" asked Piper, "Something like that" said Pablo.
"Hold on, you mentioned 2022-2023, I haven't played much holodisk games, but the graphics to this game are a bit to real" said Nick, "Like I mentioned this is from an alternative universe where video games have long since advanced and evolved in terms of gameplay and graphics" said Pablo.
"I find it hard to believe that mankind would invest so much time and effort to release such a horrific product to the general public" said Danse, "Believe me, people love the Evil Dead franchise" said Pablo.
"Franchise, as in there's more than just this game" asked Veronica, "Yeah, it's actually had a few games back in the early 1990's and before that it was a successful horror film trilogy, before it got rebooted into a TV series and pseudo film remakes" said Pablo.
"Ok, before we move on, I'm gonna ask, what is the premise of Evil Dead about, I mean who are those characters we were seeing" asked Arcade.
"So the main series of Evil Dead is centered around Ash Williams, the guy you saw with the chainsaw hand who has been portrayed and played by Bruce Campbell in all products, including the Videogame he was in nearly 40 years later, in fact he's so attached to the character it be impossible to replace him as they are one in the same but I'm getting side tracked" said Pablo.
"As mentioned during the narration of the game Ash has to go against the evils from the Necronomicon after all of his friends and girlfriend had died when they accidentally played the tape recorded of Dr. Moby, chanting the forbidden text in the Necronomicon, which was bound in human flesh and inked in human blood" continued Pablo.
"However throughout his adventures he had some help along the way, granted many of them died, but some of them are present and are their to help Ash, like his friend Scotty who was friends with Ash's since college and was actually more capable then him in the first movie, but he died when he left the cabin as he was at the mercy of the evil in the woods, or King Arthur, that's right King Arthur himself helped Ash by giving him his army if he promised to slay the deadites that plagued his land, or finally Kelly a fellow employee at work who got caught up in slaying the evil dead when it was released to the world after so many years" said Pablo as this did answered Arcade's question, but left more questions for everyone else.
"How exactly did Ash became acquainted with King Arthur" asked Danse, "The only way for him to get rid of the evil was to send it back in time, so Ash got caught up in a wormhole sending him back in time, which wouldn't be the last time since he did made it back to his present" said Pablo.
"Exactly how did Mr. Williams loose his hand" asked Curie as she feared to know the reason.
"His girlfriend came back to life as a deadite and in a scuffle with her severed head, she bit his hand which infected it with evil and in a desperate attempt from saving himself, he had to chop his arm off with the chainsaw which he would later use as his signature weapon" explained Pablo as Curie grimaced.
"You know if you guys want I can actually show you guys the entire Evil Dead trilogy if you want if that makes it easier" said Pablo.
"No/Yes" shouted everyone as the only person one board was Strong as they looked at him with disapproval.
"Bah, no fun" stated Strong.
Ok people here you go, I hope you all enjoyed it, as this is the first time I've written a reaction fic, which was definitely an element outside of my comfort zone, and a lot of it has to do with how that there's not only a bunch of these, but each one has a different writing style to them, so please give me your feedback in the review section if any of this makes sense or was easy to follow, cause I genuinely would like to improve my writing style as I write something new.
Accordingly if you do like it please be sure to fave and follow, otherwise before anyone asks, I've got a few things that everyone will review which will be a large mixed plethora of mediums, ranging from trailers to games and movies, music videos, occasionally shows and anime to even fan projects on YouTube, but I am opened to suggestions.
Until next time, be safe, be good people, and please support your local fandom communities.
