The Zone is a graveyard of dreams .

It's where hopes go to 𝐝𝐢𝐞 .

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Finally saved up enough coupons for some new gear. Monolith won't know what hit them.

[auggie🐇 @spootnik_1]

this made me emotional maybe they could be friends

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Canned food, stale bread and questionable sausages can only satisfy for so long.

Which is to say I grew sick of them about ten years ago.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Oh, what I would give for a plate of chicken Kyiv right now . . .

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

{~} the non-existence of a stalker verse means I really gotta do better about pushing for fallout interactions, maybe an account facelift could help 👀

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Another trip to the Mojave is in order, I think.

Things in the Zone are not fun right now, between the Monolith's return and the X-network coming back online.

Could use a break.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

A not entirely unproductive night artifact hunting.

Mostly found common artifacts, which I suppose I'll sell for a small amount, but I also managed to get my hands on a compass.

This will fetch a handsome price with the traders.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Today is a good day for artifact hunting; I need to dust off the old detector.

The gravitational anomalies seem promising.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

is that so?

( he pulls back his hood and removes his gas mask, revealing the tired-looking, scarred face of the veteran stalker beneath. taking a bite of his own sandwich, he smiles faintly. )

my planet still hasn't made contact with any others yet.

i'm a bit of an exception.

[ً @IKTEI]

( that helped —— they soon followed suit and made a little sandwich of their own. plus, at least there wouldn't potentially be jawa fur in his food this way. )

hm. humans are everywhere. every planet.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

Hm.

Well, the outhouse is certainly gone now, too.

[☢︎ — MAXIM! @dirgeforthezone]

The grenade.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

( he takes the hint of unfamiliarity, scooping up a small helping of the egg and sausage mixture and placing it between the two halves of his sliced bread as an example. )

mostly just humans.

unfortunately a bit boring compared to most places, it seems.

[ً @IKTEI]

could say the same about yours.

( the jawa wasn't so used to cooking like this; it was unclear if they even knew what a proper sandwich was supposed to be. )

i guess there are no jawa on earth.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

( the stalker rubbed his eyes, struggling to make out the other through the combination of grogginess and the blinding light. )

. . . it's certainly starting to seem that way.

( being sent to strange places was nothing new, but having it happen in his sleep certainly was. )

sidorovich .ᐣ eheh, you really are out of your element, aren't you .ᐣ

( the creature that stood before him was made out of metal and wires; the landscape surrounding them was dark and desolate. even more than the zone was —— how the hell did he get here .ᐣ )

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

ik'tei? that's an interesting name.

( using a thick cloth to pick up the still-hot skillet, he sets it close to the jawa for them to get their serving. )

i'm aleksei. it's nice meeting you.

[ً @IKTEI]

hmm. okay.

( they didn't have any room to really judge, here, but the little rat was probably doing so anyway. sounds weird. )

—— my name is ik'tei.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

. . . the grenade or the outhouse?

[☢︎ — MAXIM! @dirgeforthezone]

Oh, so that’s where that went.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

for fuck's sake . . .

( the stalker sits up from his sleeping bag with an annoyed groan, one hand on his holster and the other attempting to keep the blinding light out of his eyes. )

who sent you, sidorovich?

you tell that impatient asshole I'm still working on his order.

[‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍𝖙𝐨 𝕳𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 . @MECHANICIDE]

( the bottle misses, clanging along on the ground nearby. the light is still very much on him. )

oh, no, that won't do. we haven't even met yet.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

( THROWING THE BOTTLE — )

FUCK OFF, СУКА

[‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍𝖙𝐨 𝕳𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 . @MECHANICIDE]

( shining an obnoxiously bright light onto him. )

WAKE UP.

[𝘼𝙇𝙀𝙆𝙎𝙀𝙄 . @PripyatBound]

( grabbing a half-empty vodka bottle — )

go the fuck away I'm trying to sleep

[‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍𝖙𝐨 𝕳𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 . @MECHANICIDE]
