RWBY react to Storyteller

Ghouls and Wizard

During breakfast Weiss tells JNPR about the NCR, the Legion, Vegas and Khans. Jaune and Pyrrha like the NCR at first, after Bitter Springs Massacre it went down hill. Nora and Pyrrha what to kill Caesar for slavery, even Ren as well what to pull a pullet throw his skull. Ren wonder what House has to keep everyone away. Everyone feels bad for the Khans after the Massacre, many Ren and Nora.

JNPR has to study for a test coming up in one of their classes. So RWBY decide to watch more storyteller, but before they got to their room. Ozpin was stand in front of their door. "Hi, Professor Ozpin." Ruby yelled to the headmaster.

"Ah, miss Rose. Is everything okay here?" Ozpin ask the team leader.

"Yeah, why did you ask?" Ruby ask Ozpin. Ozpin explain how students keep hearing a men's voice in their room. "Ow, that just Storyteller."

Ozpin froze and ask if he could watch. After Blake sitting on her bed the began.

FALLOUT Lore: Ch.10 – Ghouls

The radiant heat of an atomic bomb can turn a human body to ash in an instant. The shockwave can crush bones and burst organs for miles in every direction. And those unfortunate enough to survive will soon succumb to the unseen threat of radioactive fallout. Most bodies will lay down and die once they've absorbed enough radiation; a horrible death that takes days, but maybe better than the alternative that some people face. Ghoulification.

RWBY who watch from the beginning now see the effects the bombs cause. Ozpin did not even flinch.

Plenty of people in the wasteland will shoot ghouls on site. They look like zombies, or mummies – monsters right out old horror vids. The tragedy is that most ghouls are just as intelligent now as they were back when they were human, and they're perfectly aware of what's happened to them. There's still plenty of them that have gone feral, though. Spend enough time in a rotting body, and they degenerate into little more than animals that attack any human they see. Most folk think it's better to just shoot first and worry about being called a bigot later.

"Sad." Ruby feeling sorry for the ghouls.

*A feral ghoul attacking a wasteland*

"All shit!" Ruby shouted and jump on Yang for safety.

We're not sure why some people turn into ghouls while others just keel over after being exposed to radiation. The history tapes don't mention ghouls existing before the Great War, so something must have changed back around the end of the 21st century. Well, a lot of things changed, but even the best minds of the wasteland can't figure out which factor causes ghoulification. The planet was covered with unprecedented levels of radiation. Some of the sites holding stockpiles of Forced Evolutionary Virus were hit in the war, and trace amounts of the virus were released into the atmosphere. Humanity's gene pool had also been reduced from billions of people down to a smattering of survivors – many of which had been selected by Vault-Tec for dubious purposes.

"Yeah." Blake said sadly.

Ghoulification might happen when folks get just the right dose of radiation. Could even be a hereditary trait that was always present in humanity, but only activated by high levels of radiation exposure. Walk the wasteland long enough and you'll find evidence for all these theories and more.

When the Great War happened, thousands of people made it to Vault-Tec facilities in time to survive the nuclear bombardment. Most of them were kept safe from the ensuing fallout, but there was one vault, number 12, where the doors didn't close all the way. They shielded most of the radioactivity, but just enough got through to turn Vault 12's population into ghouls.

"Fucking damn it, Vault-Tec!" Weiss yelled.

Every one of them was chosen by Vault-Tec, and they have a history of rigging their vaults to experience "Theatrical" malfunctions, so it can't be a coincidence that the doors failed to seal up. This supports the notion that ghouls have a pre-existing dormant trait, but it could also mean that the scamps at Vault-Tec knew the exact amount of radiation to let in.
