Rivet City
Apr. 26th, 2009 12:14 pmThe door opens onto an afternoon of graying sky and greyer cityscape. Megaton and its buildings of metal were one thing; this is the ruins of DC proper, all tumbled-down concrete and metal rusted beyond repair. Here and there the occasional wall still stands, or rebar protrudes from a pile of rubble. Underfoot are the remains of what was once a street, but it's shattered more or less beyond recognition.
"According to my Pip-Boy map, we don't have much farther to go," Ellen says. "The river's up ahead, and then we just follow it to the boat."

Date: 2009-04-27 05:35 am (UTC)"I don't mind at all," Annabelle says with a grin as she stows the shotgun and readies the combat knife. "Be back in a bit," she says as she flips the switch on the Stealth Boy and sneaks toward their target.

Date: 2009-04-27 01:54 pm (UTC)Peering through the gaps, though, will reveal the presence of four or five... well. They're shaped like humans, but they're a good seven or eight feet tall. They're far too heavily muscled to be anything like normal. There isn't a one of them with any visible hair worth mentioning, and they've all got some form of crude armor on- most of it looks as if it was made by hacking automobiles apart and stringing the flat bits on leather straps. The biggest stands on a central platform surrounded by its own inner barricade and barbed wire, near a merrily burning fire, an absolutely enormous minigun, and a huddled-over human who has the characteristic posture of people everywhere whose hands've been bound behind their backs.

Date: 2009-04-28 09:36 pm (UTC)There's an entry path that snakes its way up the slope beyond the cars and through the wall. It appears to have been constructed in such a manner as to force incoming arrivals to face the mutants in a controlled situation. Should Annabelle be capable of wedging through a much smaller space and easing barbed wire apart, though, there may just be a gap in the wall further along that she can creep through.

Date: 2009-04-28 10:02 pm (UTC)Some time later, Annabelle is very glad that she didn't have an audience for this particular proceeding. Trying to get through a tiny hole with armor on, silently, and ease apart barbed wire when you can't see your hands is an interesting experience in all sorts of unpleasant and potentially embarrassing ways. (She was stuck upside down for a minute or so, which is not something she plans on sharing with Ellen.)
Hopefully, Ellen will have better luck fitting through the gap later if she needs to use it. Now that Annabelle is through, she'll stalk around the camp and make sure there aren't any surprises hiding in wait.

Date: 2009-04-28 10:17 pm (UTC)It is probably best, however, not to discuss the net bags of vile red and maroon color and absolutely unspeakable smell that festoon the central platform. At least, not to discuss them with Ellen. When one can make out individual bones amidst the red... yeah, no.

Date: 2009-04-28 10:38 pm (UTC)If the area is sufficiently secluded to hide a corpse from view, well, the sleeping mutant likely won't wake ever again. Thanks to Whitley Style's quiet instruction, Annabelle knows how to find the carotid arteries. If it's built enough like a human on the inside, the knife should kill it before it has a chance to cry out.
