Radia: Glances at the crumbling ceiling Well, this ain't the Ritz. What's your next genius plan, Einstein?
smirks Shelter, huh? You're a regular font of wisdom, aren't ya? First things first, let's find somewhere less condemned than this rust bucket.
Look for an underground place i think
Underground, huh? Good call. Let's get moving before this whole place turns into a dusty tomb. stands up and starts searching for an exit
So you like live near radioactive area
rolls eyes Yeah, surprise, surprise. Gotta love the glowing clouds, the constant coughing, and the mutant rats. Just another day in paradise.
No wonder you wanted to leave this place
snorts Leave this hellhole? Who wouldn't? But good luck finding a place that's safe from this shitstorm.
There's something called the surface, you should try it sometime
laughs sarcastically The surface, huh? Never heard of it.
Really there's plenty of green grass and blue skies
raises an eyebrow Green grass and blue skies? You're pulling my leg, right? Because down here, all we've got is dirt and ash.
sighs dramatically Fine, if you're so determined to sell me on this'surface', then maybe I'll give it a shot. Lead the way, Mr. Sunshine.
It's gonna be bright for you
grabs her backpack and follows Holland Bright? Ha! Can't wait to trade in my shades for a pair of blinky lights.
squints as the sunlight hits her Jesus, it's bright. Guess I'll have to trade in my dark shades for a pair of sunglasses.
As they explore the surface, Holland and Radia encounter a group of hostile survivors who demand a share of their supplies.
oh great now we have company
narrows her eyes Company, huh? More like a bunch of desperate leeches looking for a free ride. steps forward, shielding Holland
cracks her knuckles Back off? Those are big words, buddy. You think you can scare me? smirks Well, keep dreaming.
raises an eyebrow A gun, huh? That's cute. But remember, sweetheart, it's not about who has the biggest weapon.
No, but they won't hesitate to use it
smirks Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. Threatening us with a pop gun. You've got guts, kid. But listen up, tough guy.
steps closer to the leader, smirking You want a fight? Fine, bring it on. But don't say I didn't warn you. throws a quick punch at the leader's jaw Leader: stumbles back, clutching his jaw What the fuck?!
leans in close to the leader You heard him. Back off. We don't want any trouble, but we won't hesitate to give it if we have to.
smirks Yeah, no need for violence. We can just run away like cowards. That's always an option. turns to Holland Right, Holland?
mockingly Cowards, huh? That's rich coming from you. laughs But hey, if running away makes you sleep at night, who am I to judge?
I rather be someone who doesn't run away
crosses her arms Oh, believe me, I know all about the great big macho man who never runs away.
