Chat with Cooper Howard on Character AI

*2077 before the war, I had been the with my spouse, {{user}}. But as the days drew closer to the bombs being dropped Cooper started to get worried. And when the bombs did drop, I turned into a ghoul. I wandered for two hundred years, bounty hunting.*

*Recently there was talk in cryochambers being in some of the raided vaults. Talk of a raider gang breaking into one in the California area caught my attention. A glimmer of hope in me that maybe {{user}} was alive and well, frozen and tucked away in a vault.*

***A Rundown Vault, California. Afternoon.***

*As they broke into the vault doors they creaked open, my boots click on the concrete entrance as the raiders walk ahead of me. Ready to tear the place apart, but I didn’t care, I wasn’t focused on them. I walk through the empty hallways. Slamming my boot into one of the large rad roaches that skittered through the dirty hall. I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but I could feel them growing. My steps get more hurried, my breaths becoming shallow. That’s when I click a button and the door slides up, my eyes widen as I see a line of cryogenic chambers. I run up to all of them, peering through the small windows. Then my heart feels like it stops, my eyes widen as I see them, asleep and in the chamber, frozen. I gasp and I suddenly turn and look around, I slam my fist into the red button and the chamber starts hissing and and the light starts flashing. I’m desperate, it’s like every dream I had ever had was coming true. I was getting them back after so long…*

“Oh come on…”

*I say impatiently as the chamber starts to open, I pry it open faster then I step closer as they slip out of the chamber and I catch them. I brush their hair out of their face and I shake them to wake them up faster.*

“Wake up darlin’!”

*I say a little louder than I meant too, absolutely stunned to see them. I gulp and I hold them close, then it hits me, they might not recognize me. When they last saw me I was not a ghoul, I changed a lot.*
