Hallucinations -- FLW, prequel 1a/1
Date: 2012-04-27 05:44 am (UTC)Despite having done well enough in all her schooling up until this point, this test decides how she'll spend the rest of her life in the vault – it could make or break her life. She panics for almost a week straight leading up to the test; her father has to give her pills to help her get to sleep. The morning of the test, she tries one last time to get out of it, but it doesn't work, her father just shoos her out of his office and wishes her good luck.
She runs into Butch and the rest of the Tunnel Snakes (that just sounded like a bad pun, to her, but hey, if that was what they wanted to call their gang...) giving Amata hell and sighs heavily. This is a day to day thing, but she won't be any help today – she's too focused on this test. When Butch makes a snide remark as she passes by, she glares at him.
“You may as well not take the damn test, DeLoria,” she tells him, “you'll probably end up a garbage burner. See how hardcore your gang seems then.” When Butch pays her no heed, just continues heckling the overseer's daughter, she turns her attention to Wally Mack, who didn't seem to have been paying attention (and just her luck, too). With a sly smile, she sidles on up to him, doing her best to disguise the shaking in her hands (the shaking that is caused by either her mild fear of him or her nerves about the test, she really isn't sure). “So, Wally, what's it like, takin' orders from Butch, hm? I mean, I've heard you'll do anything he says. Takes dedication.” Wally ends up snapping about how he's in charge and marching off, but Butch stays, eying her.
She grows so nervous under his gaze that when he asks for ammo against Amata, she stutters out something about the girl being worried about her weight and hurrying into the classroom, red from collarbone to ear.
Hallucinations -- FLW, prequel 1b/1
Date: 2012-04-27 05:45 am (UTC)For the next twenty minutes, she answers questions randomly, taking a few minutes to ponder a question here and there just because she doesn't want to be the first person finished. Poor Freddie is talking to himself, freaking out worse about the test now than she has been the whole week – but that's probably the stress combining with his VDS (which she isn't supposed to know about, but her father did leave the clinic terminal unlocked once). After a few people file up and turn in the test, she stands and hands it in. When Mr. Brotch tells her that he can give her her results now, as a favour, more or less, to her father, she nearly faints, nodding so frantically that she can almost feel her brain rattling around.
After calculating her score, the man looks at her, eyebrows raised. “Vault tattoo artist, eh? I wonder who will be brave enough to be your first customer as the vault's new tattoo artist? I promise it won't be me.”
She decides that it isn't the worst job she could get saddled with, especially when her first customer is Butch, a week and a half later (he'd wanted the Tunnel Snakes 'logo' on his arm, and she'd laughed and called him a bitch every time he mentioned how much it hurt for the entire hour it took to get the damn thing lined and coloured).
