TEST DRIVE MEME #1.

[therunning]

OPTIONS: WAKING UP You wake up in a studio in an apartment building that's got windows all boarded up. You remember being sick, you remember dying, and you probably can't believe this is the afterlife. If you head out into the hall you'll see that others are heading out too, looking just as confused as you are. All of you died, most of you of the same thing. If you head down to the front office, you'll meet a native resident who will explain in brief that you're in Aqora, a settlement living among the undead and that people like you show up every so often. You'll be given an informational pamphlet, a shitty cell phone, and a walkie. Then you'll be expected to figure it out. No one has time to hold your hand. EXPLORING Miscellaneous things here: shops and restaurants turned into places to live, apartments full of people living day to day, the main focus (the library) being the hub where people come to learn and children go to school. Because school never ends, even in the apocalypse. Feel free to buddy up with other newcomers to figure out what the hell is going on. OR, say you've been here a while. It's time to figure out how to get more supplies! Let's go on a supply run. You'll just be heading out past the barricades to start, and you'll have to dig through buildings to try and find things. If you're lucky, maybe you'll hit a cache. If you're unlucky, you'll find too many undead to fight. No one goes out alone though, so hopefully your partner can help. "NETWORK" Someone has set up a rudimentary network using the nearest cell towers. You can communicate with others in the area but only via voice and text. Anything further out is voice only via walkies. You can have a username or leave it blank. Have fun, campers.

[neart]

jags. i'm the head of security and scouting missions round here.

[volumeone]

if someone wanted to maybe scout, how would that work? besides the obvious don't get bit part

[neart]

we have a sign up sheet for scouting missions in the sb which gets updated w needed supplies every week. supply runs are done once a week but if we're well-stocked we do it once every two weeks.

you can always volunteer or you can join the scouting team in which case i'll add your name to the group. if not you can just volunteer whichever week you feel like participatin.

but whether you volunteer or you're part of the team you'll get partnered up w at least one person whenever you wanna venture outside. since you're new it'll be a regular until you get your own feel of the surroundings.

we provide weapons in the sb. you'll have to return them after each run. anything you find you drop off across the street w supplies. you can ask morna for more details about how she manages the inventory over there.
