The Fallout did some strange things to this world.
Nothing quite like the mutations you read about in stories.
Just, strange.

The destruction, contamination, disease, and death was to be expected.
Few survived to live in the Hell that remained.
The dead are the lucky ones.

Then there are those who befriend the strange.
Even in a world as rough as this, brute force isn't necessarily the road to success.

Welcome friends.
What plans do you have for me today.
The Cult of Please.

You are Augury, a survivor of the Fallout. You don't remember much from it, just waking up surrounded by pigeons.
![[Image: cop_006_by_theboyd-d5l8qvn.png?2]](https://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/321/4/c/cop_006_by_theboyd-d5l8qvn.png?2)
You've set up camp in a decrepit Museum. You've found that while most modern, household items, have been destroyed, ancient relics tend to have survived.
![[Image: cop_007_by_theboyd-d5l8qzo.png?1]](https://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/321/7/0/cop_007_by_theboyd-d5l8qzo.png?1)
"Back when things where built to last" they say. Or maybe the museum just offered better protection than those stock homes they had before the Fall.

Either way, it provides well for you. Protection, supplies. You still need to make the occasional trip out to scavenge for food and water, but having a stable home works for you.

You're not entirely sure if the pigeons understand you. You think maybe, or at least know what you're thinking. You're almost entirely sure that they don't understand themselves though.
![[Image: cop_010_by_theboyd-d5ldbf6.png]](https://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/322/b/c/cop_010_by_theboyd-d5ldbf6.png)
They just say please. It's not actually speech, just a quirk of the Maelstrom caused by the Fall.
They're extremely useful though, and incredibly loyal to you.

You open the book and look at your inane scribbling.
Seems like it would be a good time to do some scavenging.

You hesitate, wondering if you should take anything with you. Usually you just carry your cane and fleams, but you might entertain the thought of something additional today.

Approach such that they won't see you until you're close.

these are all great ideas, but I'm unsure whether you want to rob them, barter for goods, or kills them and eat their corpses. (etc.)
and I was so hoping I wouldn't have to explain the type of suggestions I wanted.. oh well.
Course I could always fill those blanks in myself. I'm not above that.
