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. |

[ Does that make you a native of hell, dude. ]
no subject
[ he can't tell ur japanese thru the network...
also it's los angeles not hell!!! ok it's kind of hell. ]
no subject
Well, not really because Daigo's a grown man but. ]
Ah, what a coincidence. I am from Tokyo, myself. Or was, I suppose.
no subject
anyway daigo you're cute. ]
oh man i'd say it's great to know there's another person from close to home around but it'd be better for you to be back in tokyo.
the way i see it you're still from tokyo, right? just misplaced. i wish i could tell you how or why.
no subject
Yes, I agree. It is always nice to meet someone from home.
I am not sure I understand the specifics, though. Are we dead? This is not the afterlife I envisioned.
no subject
it's... i'm not dead. i don't know why everyone that comes here from outside remembers dying. we've never figured it out. but it's definitely not an afterlife.
no subject
but hey at least you're not some weird japanese demon in alternate world hell, maybe? gj kei. ]
That is very strange. Has this been going on since the zombie outbreak began?
no subject
it started soon after this place was built. it's always been the same apartment building, but there were no signs that people had appeared before it was fortified.
no one knows for sure though.
no subject
And the rest of the world? Is there any contact with anyone outside of the city?
no subject
no subject
Thank you for the assistance, by the way. My name is Daigo Dojima, I apologize for not introducing myself sooner.
no subject
of course, i'm here to assist. it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is kei akiyama - you don't need to apologize since we've both waited this long.
no subject
Indeed.
Akiyama-san, then. Are you part of the staff here?
no subject
i'm the community's doctor and lead organizer. general practice and emergency work weren't my usual niche, but i do all right.
no subject
I see. Then we are truly lucky to have you. You have my thanks for your hard work. It can't be easy, given our strange situation.
no subject
thank you very much. every day i hope my services won't be needed.
how are things for you here, dojima-san? is there anything you need?
no subject
That's reasonable of you. I hope the same.
Ah, I'm doing quite well for myself so far. I've been fortunate enough to run into one of my old friends, so it seems at the very least I won't have to do this alone. We're in the process of searching for some kind of lodging, is there an area of Aqora you would recommend?
no subject
as for lodgings, i would suggest the milano lofts. there are outside stairs in the form of fire escapes, which means there won't be the issues with lighting that there would be with the internal stairways and needing lanterns or candles on the steps. there are also a lot of windows that allow for plenty of natural light inside.

[ ....And since he's. The Sixth Chairman. And he knows what Mine did while he was "dead"... ]
Additionally, if you should find yourself having any issue with Mine... please inform me as soon as possible. I know he can be a bit curt, but he is a good man. He's my responsibility as much as I am his.
no subject
to go is certain death and the loss of the supplies at the same time. i've known men like him back home [ ahem ] and i worry that he'll become too focused on the supplies to the detriment of his own safety.
