MC still doesn't know how to hack
Shadow: We need to hack this. If you can handle hacking this file I can handle the rest.
MC: Uh huh, sure. No problem.
*Switches Chats*
MC: Jake why do hackers keep thinking I can hack stuff?
Jake: I did make a simple system for you. Does it work for the file?
MC: Yes! Thank you! Once again you are the best!
Jake: :)
Shadow: Ok you hack one tower I'll do the other two.
MC: Uh. Yeah got it.
*Switches Chats*
MC: Jake does your program make it possible to hack towers?
Jake: No. That's a bit out of the scope of the program. Give me a moment.
MC: Ok.
Jake: *Minutes later* Done. The tower is hacked for you.
MC: Love you!
Jake: :)
Wolfe: Alright. You hack the one tower I got the rest.
*Switches Chats*
MC: Jake I swear they overthink my abilities again.
Jake: Already done.
MC: You're amazing. Thank you!
Jake: :)
Wolfe: Keep up this work and I'll just have to hire you.
*Switches Chats*
MC: Hey Jake I got you a job offer!
Jake: I'll pass.
MC: It'd be funny though if I took him up on his offer only for him to figure out I have no idea what a CPU was.
Jake: I can explain if you'd like.
MC: Maybe after the killer bird man is caught.

Fallout: Duskwood
Mal's kids
Tumblr media
(Mal had met Mac first, under... less than ideal circumstances as his traveling companion at the time had gone feral a few days prior and broken free from the rope keeping him from wandering off... said feral had tried to attack the little girl, forcing Mal to act fast and well...
She didn't have parents or anywhere else to go so they stuck together since then. It would be Mac who finds Mave about a year or so later.)
Mac, a sarcastic woman with good intentions. She's got a big heart but in Mercenary work you learn to have a quick temper toward strangers and an even quicker trigger finger if necessary.
She also doesn't really like new people because of the low tolerance of Ghouls in most places, something that forced her to figure a lot of things out on her own because Mal couldn't go with her in some stores or even some towns. That being said, she didn't have nearly as many problems when it came to talking to Jake... probably because both don't have the best social skills, leading them to figuring out social situations together... as well as bugging Mal about it. ("This person says I'm rude." "Did you try greeting them back?" "... maybe that is the problem... I'll look into it." "Cool, I punched a guy." "Why?")
Tumblr media
Mave, as Mal would put it, is the more difficult child. Mac had kind of just disappeared and reappeared with this tiny, dirty, younger child. Approaching Mal with the confident statement of: "I found him, so he's mine. That's how being a parent works." And has been and arguing point since then. ("Mac, you're at best three or four years older than him and he calls me dad, you're NOT his mom." "I'm his mom! I found him! And you're our dad because you found us." "For the love of- That's NOT how it works-")
If there's trouble and Mave isn't in your immediate line of sight it's completely fair to assume he's involved with said trouble.
Mave is currently on his own little adventure to see if he wants to live life on his own terms (like an older child that had been under Mal's care for a short while) or if he preferred traveling with Mal and Mac. If he doesn't contact them within a year, both will immediately drop everything to go look for him.
While Mal and Mac are dealing with a hacker, Vault Dwellers and a missing person... Mave is ALSO dealing with a hacker, a missing person and a bunch of weird strangers.
Mave is just as sarcastic as Mac but a little more willing to wait things out.
Fun fact: Mave's hat was a gift from Mal.

Roxy: Whose Jessy?
MC: Shit wrong message! Sorry Roxy!
MC: Did you throw away the clown doll?
Cleo: What?
MC: Damn it wrong chat. Sorry Cleo!
MC: Question. What's the first thing I should learn to defend myself against a masked bird man?
Julius: I gotcha. *sends video about basic self-defense lessons*
MC: Not who I meant to send this to but this really helps! Thanks Julius!
Julius: Wait who did you mean to send it to?
MC: Ok I think I could get into better shape to avoid crow guy. At least enough to outrun him. Tips?
Dan: First you got to set your schedule and your limit, don't want to burn yourself out. *continues with tips*
MC: You're a life saver Dan! I meant to ask my gym trainer friend but I'm glad you had some great advice too!
MC: I swear that Crow's accomplice is more creepy than Crow themself.
Duskwood chat: *multiple users typing*
Jessy: ACCOMPLICE?
Dan: I knew it!
Thomas: When did you learn this?
Cleo: MC what accomplice?
MC: FUCK WRONG CHAT
Duskwood chat: *multiple users typing*
MC: Has there been any more raven markings? Do we know who Man Without A Face is targeting next?
Strangers: *multiple users typing*
Bernd: Who is the 'Man Without A Face'?
Anna: Oh my god.
Anna: Does that freak have another person helping him?!
Roxy: I can't deal with another psycho!
Valentin: I'm sure MC will explain. Also 'raven markings?'
Tim: For sure, we're missing something here. MC?
MC: FOR FUCK SAKE WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS! WRONG CHAT, DISREGARD THAT MESSAGE!
Strangers: *multiple users typing*
Julius: EXCUSE ME WRONG CHAT? HOW MANY MASKED FREAKS DO YOU KNOW?
Jake: I leave you alone for a bit and somehow you cause this much trouble in the group chat?
MC: Jake!
MC: You're online! Finally!
MC: Anyway I need to introduce you to Shadow. They'll probably be able to explain everything better than I can. I keep getting masked bird men and group chats mixed up.
Shadow: Hello! And true you have been struggling with that.
MC: Bright side. I haven't mixed up Hannah and Klara yet.
Shadow & Jake: YeT?!

MC: Darling?
MC: Jake please are you there?
MC: I know you were trying to escape the FBI, but something came up and I need help.
Jake: *typing*
MC: I somehow got involved in another group chat full of strangers with yet another masked potential killer. Who is also obsessed with crows. There's also a masked hacker asking me to help find their friend.
Jake: *Already driving towards MC's location* HOW?!

MC still doesn't know how to hack 3
MC: Hey Jake! I'm starting to learn how to actually hack so I don't bother you as much.
Jake: You're never a bother MC.
MC: I know, but you're busy staying ahead of your pursuers... I'd hate to distract you. Wolf introduced me to this HANS, who has been teaching me how to hack.
Jake: Oh... really? Interesting.
*10 minutes later*
MC: Ok Jake. Where'd HANS go?
Jake: Oh? He went somewhere?
MC: ...
MC: Jake are you jealous of some ai program thing?
Jake:
*Jake is offline*
MC: Hahaha
MC: Oh wait come back!
MC: JAKE COME BACK I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HACK CHAT PROFILES!

Duskwood: ...

MC: ...
Hackers: ...
Duskwood: ...
Strangers: ...
MC: Well this is going well.
Wolfe: I told you this was a waste of time.
MC: Well excuse me if I thought it would be a good idea to introduce the two groups!
Julius: Why would you think that'd be a good idea?
Dan: I was just about to say that!
MC: Because I'm going insane trying to keep two psycho bird masked kidnappers sorted. Then there are the mysterious hackers!
Jake: I'm not so mysterious.
MC: Sweetie I haven't seen a single photo of you, I don't know where you are, I don't even know your last name. Honestly, how do I even know your name is Jake? I really know nothing but that's ok.
Jake: ...
Shadow: lol
Wolfe: Why do I keep getting involved in these chats? I have better things to do.
MC: THINGS HAVE BEEN A BIT STRESSFUL FOR ME SINCE I'M DEALING WITH BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS SO LET ME BE STRESSED!

Jake: Uh...
MC: In my defense, many people are involved here.
Jake: I need more context, do you need to ask him something?
MC: I'm supposed to hack with him.
Jake: (Remembers Hans the hacking helper that Wolf installed that he removed) Well I'm here.
MC: Thank you!

Strangers: *multiple users typing*

Anna: What the hell?
MC: Guys I can explain.
Tim: I'm sorry who died? We rescued Lucy and I don't remember anyone else in danger.

Valentin: I'll be honest. Really hoping you had some serious typos.
MC: I wish?
Strangers: *multiple users typing*
MC: whoa whoa whoa before everyone starts up. I'll explain.
MC: You see how calm I've been about this? This isn't my first rodeo. Not even my first Hacker hacking my phone asking for my help to find someone.
MC: In the other group a body of a girl they all vaguely knew was just discovered. I was hoping to find out if they had more info because it was a bit suspicious.
Strangers: *multiple users typing*

Duskwood: *multiple users typing*
Dan: Crow man got some editing skills!

Jessy: OH MY GOD
Richy: Um. That doesn't look like the usual harassment.
Cleo: He sent you this! Why?
Jessy: ARE YOU OK? WHAT ELSE DID HE SAY!
Lilly: I'm calling the police.
MC: Guys. I can explain. This isn't from the Man without a face. And I didn't mean to post it to this group.
Duskwood: *multiple users typing*

MC: I'm going to say it. I'm just going to have to do it.
MC: Go to hell.
MC: You think you can play god and can get away with harassing a group of people. You fucking can't. We will get you. You will be caught and rot in prison for the rest of your sad miserable life!
MC: What nothing to say this time?
MWAF: Meet me in Duskwood and nothing else will happen to your friends.
MC: Oh wait shit sorry wrong masked bird killer.
MC: Wait a second no fuck that and fuck you too! I'm not sorry!
MC: You know what's lamer than running around like an idiot in the woods with a mask on?
MC: Pretending your a local legend come to life so you can harrass, assault, and kidnap people!
MC: Don't think I've forgotten about Amy! She will get the justice her, her family, and her friends deserve! We will stop you plot!
Dr. Crow: The healing is invetiable MC. You can not stop it.
Dr. Crow: I have not met a patient named 'Amy'. Have you finally decided to accept your fate and join my cause? Is this a new patient for the healing?
MC: Oh fuck me and fuck you too. Wrong Crow Man.
MC: I don't give a shit what you think about me, nor what your plans for me are! They aren't going to happen because we WILL stop you!
MC: Can I speak to Charlie?
MWAF: Charlie?
MC: OH COME ON I WASN'T EVEN TRYING TO TALK TO A BIRD-BEAKED LUNATIC!
MC: THE ONE TIME I MEANT TO TALK TO THE CREEPY PUPPET GUY AND I'M DEALING WITH AN ASSAULTING, INSULTING ASSHOLE!
MWAF: You texted me?
Jake: Now what aren't you going to do?
MC: Threaten, engage, or otherwise start unauthorized interactions with anonymous, or masked individuals who have shown they have deadly or otherwise dangerous reputation.
Jake: And WHY are you agreeing to not do this?
MC: Because when I do communicate with those individuals I'm endangering the lives of my friends.
Jake: AND?
MC: My loved ones.
Jake: AND?
MC: myself.
Jake: Say that again now in one sentence...
MC: endagering the lives of my friends, loved ones, and myself.
Jake: I swear I will disable your messenger if you try this again MC.
MC: I'm sorry Jake.
Shadow: It was entertaining though.
Jake: I will kick you off of MC's phone.
Wolfe: How did I even get on this group chat?

MC still doesn't know how to hack 2
MC: Hey Jake? Any suggestions on how to convince Anna that I shouldn't be hacking everyone's phones?
Jake: Which one is Anna?
MC: The one afraid of clowns and parkours?
Jake: Right, chased by Dr. Crow. You have a lot of people involved with that.
MC: Don't I know it! Anyway suggestions?
Jake: A major invasion of privacy?
MC: Apparently everyone's safety and figuring out who the traitor is trumps that.
Jake: Huh. Could tell her you aren't skilled enough or confident enough?
MC: Apparently if I can hack a tower I should be able to hack a phone.
Jake: Well. Those aren't equivalent but.
MC: Could tell her I barely know what I'm doing and I'm mostly just playing a game my hacker boyfriend made for me so I can open locked files.
Jake: Doesn't that just make the situation more difficult? Then expose Dr. Crow to me?
MC: Excellent point. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure Dr. Crow never knows you helping.
MC: So. Next suggestion on what to tell Anna?
Jake: ...
MC: ...
Jake: Firewall is too strong?
MC: Good enough.
Jake: Do you even know what a firewall is?
MC: Nope! :D
MC: Just a security thing you've mentioned maybe once?
Jake: I'll explain it later.
MC: Any chance you know how to recover deleted photos?
Jake: Yes.
MC: Could you help Cleo? She just asked me to help recover a photo. I have no idea how to help. It's a family photo from four years ago she says.
Jake: No problem. Just need to gain access to her phone, see how old the photo is. If it's outside of the storage time on the phone I could check her cloud. If it's gone from there then I'd have to hack into the memory banks and the related servers.
MC: Jake.
Jake: Yes?
MC: I love you but you lost me after 'No Problem'.
Jake: Right. Sorry. I'll take care of it.

"Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I was added to a group chat with strangers who were being haunted by dangerous masked individuals who love superstitions, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

Oni: I know you're not the only hacker...
MC: Ha! Jokes on you! I'm not even a hacker! Mostly just someone who can play a game well!
*Oni is typing*
*Separate chat*
MC: Jake help. A creepy killer in a mask hacked my phone!
Jake: The Man without a face?
MC: no no no a different one.
Jake: Dr. Crow?
MC: I'm pretty sure we never got rid of him.
Jake: J.K. Night?
MC: I'm not entirely sure if he's alive or not.
Jake: You do realize this is a problem right?
MC: I think it's a habit at this point. Not like I want crazed masked killers coming after me. So please help get another one off my phone.
Jake: Of course. ;)
MC: Love you!

MC: *Worried* I haven't heard from Jake in a while maybe I should-- Right. He's busy with the FBI. Ok, let's think about something else.
*1 minute later*
MC: Maybe I should text Shadow? They seem-- Right. Last I knew they were in a locked room that is on fire, and I have no idea where that is so I can't do anything about it...
*Worrying intensifies*
