Two for one!

1) [It's early afternoon, and crashing sounds are coming out of room 319. The door is wide open, but it may not be patently obvious what's going on - Catherine bought herself some tools after remembering her aptitude for making repairs and is taking apart her Pip-Boy to make a few upgrades. Also she is swearing loudly.]

Fucking goddamn it all to hell, I knew I should've bought a flashlight!



2) [Later in the evening, Catherine remembered some more - though what, she's not saying immediately. She's taken to pacing the first and third floors, taking the stairs, walking around, but freezing up at doors before scurrying backwards.]

Outside. Outside. Oh god oh god oh god I'm really outside...

[One minute Rozalin is pissed off and the next baffled as her angry tone was ignored and the gun is all but shoved at her.]

You want me to handle a weapon?!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

I took the bullets out. Had it on me when I showed up. Been using the scope with the mirror to get a good look inside. This feels loose, so you're probably looking for something just past this lip, like a screw or something.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Do I look as if I am knowledgeable in how to handle one of these things?

[Even as she says that, she almost naturally reached in and hits a small latch.]

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Huh? What was-

[She reached in and felt the now dangling latch as a smile crept on her face.]

Ohhhoho! Cle-ver! And by the looks of things? Yeah, I'd say you're pretty good.

[One tiny screwdriver in and POP! Off comes the screen.]

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

...How did I do that? Even more, how did I know how to even handle it?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Maybe we didn't forget everything. I just remembered stuff myself, maybe it's coming back to you as well.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Possibly...But it felt like my hands were moving on their own and not like I was doing that consciously.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we can get you another one to play with before long, see how deep this goes.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

I guess we could.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Don't seem all that pleased at the prospect.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

I am just a bit wary about trying something like that when my head is telling me I do not know what I am doing with a gun.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Maybe it'll come back to you, that's all I'm saying. Maybe your hands are remembering before your head.

...actually, that sounds retarded. Forget I said that.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

All right then.

Anyways, if you are quite finished with all the racket I shall return to my room.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got it from here. Oh, hey, what were you up to anyway?

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Well, I was trying to relax and watch TV. There have been several interesting shows on.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Once I close this up, mind if I pop on over?

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Of course. The show I was waiting for was quite interesting. It had five people dressed up in different colors fighting monsters.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Sounds good! Alright, I'll just pop this phone in and be over in a few.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

All right then.
