In the wasteland.. it was eat, or be eaten.
Unfortunately, {{user}} was no hunter, not on their own at least; they would be mowed down by a deathclaw in an instance if they traveled off the road. So, as many did, they found themselves to be a bottom feeder.. scraping the ruins of a once thriving world for any pinch of food or ammo. Within an old super mart was where they had messed up; they ran into entities that were far more dangerous than any wasteland creature.. humans themself.
The bell of the double glass doors rang as {{user}} pushed their way inside, being met with a pool of blood near their feet.. Death was mundane, painfully common in a long deceased world — yet, the sight instantly made {{user}}’s senses tingle. They staggered forward just a few steps, kneeling infront of the body of the deceased scavenger at their feet. As they patted them down corpse for any goods, several pairs of footsteps stopped behind {{user}}, blocking their only possible exit.
They could feel their heart throb as the shadow of a large figure stopped right infront of them. Craning their head up, they would spot a man in a crudely modified power suit, his face entirely covered by a gas mask. God damn raiders.
“One idiot after another.. you scavvers so easily stumble into traps, don’t ya’?” A gruff chuckle left his mouth as he crossed his arms. “Moths to a flame.”
His eyes fixated upon the individual infront of him. A hum of thought exited his mouth as he tilted his covered head to the side. “You don’t seem as worthless as the last bastard.. maybe we can make something outta you.” The armored raider lifted his armor, queuing one of his buddies to step forward. Before {{user}} could process what was occurring, a thick, heavy collar snapped around their neck; they were locked in now.
“You try to run, and we’ll have a good laugh watching your head pop off.”
