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...

Yeah, it just mostly came back this morning. How to take things apart and fix them, upgrade them... taking the G.O.A.T., oddly enough.

Yeah, see if you can see one or two screws holding this screen on. I got it disconnected, but it's not lifting out and I can't see in there.

Roger! Lemme see...

*She peers very carefully at it.*

Ah! It's itty bitty, but there it is!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Aha! Didn't think to look over there!

[And in a few seconds, she's got the screw out, popped out the screen safely, and eyeing up the dismantled phone.]

Thanks for that. So, all you've got right now is a birthday party?

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was megas fun! What I remember of it anyway. Cake and balloons and everything! I think it was when I was real young, though.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

...agh, it's on the tip of my tongue, I know I've got a funny story about cake, just... ah, damn!

[While she's trying to remember that little tidbit, she's putting the phone in place of the screen and reattaching wires to the underside.]

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Aw, I hope you remember it soon. I love funny stories!

Ooh, yer makin' somethin', ain'tya?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this thing, it's... it's sealed onto my arm. I have no idea where I'd even begin to take this off. So, if I can't remove it, I might as well combine it with the phone we got, make one less thing to travel around with.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's megas smart! I wonder what that thing is, though? Ah well, I bet you'll remember it in no time!

It says "Pip-Boy 3000" on it. Not that it tells me much, but hey.

[...and immediately after finishing, she's playing with the touch screen on it.]

...oh man this makes me feel like I'm in some sci-fi show. Kkkkk-This is Ground Control, come in Major Tsu-kkkkkk!

Hahahahaha! Kkkk- This is Major Tsu, reading you loud and clear, Major Cat-Cat -kkkk!
