ｇｒａｖｅｙａｒｄ
 You remember dying. It's vivid and real, and you can absolutely remember taking your last breath. By all measures, that should have been the end. And yet, like waking from a deep sleep, you awake in a comfortable bed in a quaint little bedroom, and outside the window, you can see an even more quaint little neighborhood. You can get up to explore, but before you leave the bedroom, the radio inside flickers to life. "Good morning," Judy says, calm as ever, "Let me first say that I'm sorry that we've deceived you—" Because indeed, the more you look at this little neighborhood, the more it may feel familiar to you. It's almost like this was the kind of life you had before you ended up in the complex. Though as Judy explains, it wasn't a complex at all. The complex was something called a Vault, and the Vault was meant to protect you from the cataclysmic war that nearly wiped out humanity on the surface. You were kept safe. In a sense. It seems that the Vaults ultimately weren't much of protection in the first place. But Judy has done her best to ensure that your death in the Vault wasn't truly the end. Because of the nature of what was done to you, she was able to back up your existence in the servers that support the Vault. Strictly speaking, that's where you are now. You're a digital construct, and this neighborhood is Judy's idea of how to sustain you in the coming decades. That is the downside here, of course. All you can do is simply wait for someone to discover these servers, hoping they haven't failed by then. Perhaps there might be a way for you to return to the living then... Though for now, that's a distant dream. The neighborhood is small, but clearly will allow every person their own little home when they perish. There's a chance to expand it to include whatever amenities you may dream up, and there may already be some here. In addition, you can always watch the Vault to see how they're doing. There's a television in each home, and through it, you might understand how Judy can see so much. Flipping through the channels gives you a view of nearly every room in the Vault, at least until curfew falls. It's quality entertainment, since it gives you a way to keep tabs on the living. So, how will you spend your time? |

After Luke convinced Judy to give the dead a more frequent way of talking to the living, the Vault-Tec BBS is now open. If you would like to send a message to the living, please post your message under this header. Also, please use the following form, since it'll help me make sure I'm replying to the right place! There will be a new toplevel for this during each IC day for the living, and depending on how it's used here, you guys may also get a new toplevel. Unsure, we'll see.

"...What if one of you was a staff member? What would happen then?"
Apparently the staff member would enter a death match. I can't believe you guys thought Parrish did it as a revenge kill for me. That's flattering, but proves you don't know him that well.
My turn: do you really think you guys know each other that well in the complex?
no subject
because you're a crazy asshole
also fuck you
no subject
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What do you think?
no subject
I don't. Think. That's actually how it works?
But maybe it's better, I'm kind of enjoying myself and knowing everything that's going on. Kinda like playing god or whatever.
Also thanks for not answering my last email, jerk. :(
no subject
Nah. I don't really work for the Overseer anymore? This is all on me.
You're welcome, btw.
no subject
yeah I friggin wonder who it is but I mean to be fair here we started a club. we're calling dibs on kicking in your goddamn teeth when you show up
I'm calling ultra dibs because I'm going to rip out your eye and see how this apparently immortal thing really goes. I've got a lot of anger to work out sweetheart
Re: VTBBS
Oh boo hoo and your other me bullshit. I'm not exactly in a position to care what you or the other guy care and it's also not really anyone's business but we're working on it.
See. This is the part that's FUNNY because I'm not the one sleeping with the enemy! Haha! But yes, this is a waste of time :) But I have a lot of time to waste.
That's a tricky thing, it's Judy's doing. I am 100% dead, that's a fact, but there's this REALLY COOL thing called technology that can be used. Any guesses?
no subject
It's not Rhys.
If you really understood what was going on, you would know why. Stop being an asshat already.

no subject
Yeah, you're right ♡
Re: VTBBS
They aren't. Not sure why. I fear something awful happened to them.

FINE
but I'm still going to kick your ass in ways so creative that they haven't even named them yet

We are dead. It's hard to explain, but we aren't ghosts or vengeful spirits. But we are definitely not alive. Trust me, I don't think anyone could Frankenstein me back to life especially.
-Santangelo
no subject
Yeah I know, I kind of figured that out after a while. Update me privately if you want, I can't see everything I used to. Do you know how lame it is to be locked out of some of the things I used to have?
But I appreciate the effort. Don't let them beat you up too hard.
no subject
No, it's really fucking not. Not with the people who are running this Complex. They could easily "kill" us a second time with a button push.
I would explain my feelings further, but that no good fucker Judy will likely just redact anything useful I can say.
-Santangelo
Re: VTBBS
I don't know anything about the "five" thing unfortunately. I have suspicions, but I think Judy would just redact it.
As for what's waiting outside... it's home. But not the one you know.
-Santangelo
no subject
Yes. But why spoil the surprise?
Only five can leave because that's what was permitted before we were all brought into the complex.
So it became a game of last man standing.
You understand don't you?
no subject
Just so you know, death really won't be better for you, specifically.
:)
-a member of that aforementioned club
Re: VTBBS
No, that's not the situation. Although kinda wish it was, because that would be so much better than the actual reality.
I guess the best way you can think of us are digital backups. Our bodies are dead, but we exist as code. Make sense? We're kind of like Judy now.
(Also if a ton of this gets redacted I'm sorry, Judy is such a piece of shit. Kinda wish we voted for her that one time.)
-Santangelo
no subject
You :) Well all of apartment 7 actually, but the question is which one of you is it? I know.
Oh, that happens sometimes. Uh, braaaaains or whatever.
Don't be a moron.
no subject
I MISS YOU KARA-CHAN ♡♡♡♡♡
Okay, um... yeah! Just be careful, because if you show your face around here, you're going to be second on my list of people whose butts I need to kick if I see them.

Not my fault Judy's taking away important info. I guess I should be respecting her job more.
First of all I imagine killing 30+ people would be a lot of work in one night and secondly, there's a bigger agenda. Didn't you ever wonder why you were really brought here? The team has a whole other goal in mind that we needed to collect data for first.
no subject
I would tell you to guess but apparently you didn't even learn my name.
btw I still think your outfit is tacky and you need to see a better tailor
no subject
That part I don't really know. You'd have to ask her, all I know is why we're doing what we were doing and what we were supposed to collect from all of this. Some of us voluntarily showed up. Maybe she's just confused.
And yeah, well, I didn't have a lot of fun fighting you and Lara so that makes two of us.
no subject
Both.
I wish I could elaborate but Judy will definitely block me. God I hate her.
