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.

[ morna helps with supplies when people leave. she takes supplies back when people return. it's boring work but she likes it, much like other people have slotted into what they're good at. she sorts books in the library too, making sure that the kids have the right things for their current studies.

anyway.

she's got a small pack of supplies - snacks, water, a treat or two - slung over her shoulder when she appears in the doorway, leaning on the frame and just observing for a moment before she speaks softly, trying to not startle the other woman. ] Hester, right? You take long shifts. I brought you some things.

[Hester's used to keeping track of when someone's in the room with her, so she registers Morna's presence before the other woman speaks. Monitoring walkies is easier than security cameras, at least so far as her ability to do other things simultaneously. If her attention is needed somewhere, she'll hear it. That leaves her free to turn around and properly greet her visitor.] Yes, that's me.

[She's pleasantly surprised by the visit; she'd started feeling a bit peckish a little while ago, but didn't dare leave her post.] I've done similar work before, so I don't mind taking long shifts. [And if Oleta's out on a run, you can bet Hester's in the comm booth.] I appreciate it. [She's met a lot of people in her short time here, so it takes her a moment to pick out where she's seen the other woman before.] You're-- Morna, yes? The one in charge of distributing supplies? Thank you again for the clothing.
