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.

Daryl glanced down at the hand on his elbow and then up to meet Jesus' eyes. He pressed his lips together and when the man was done talking he ducked his head and shrugged the words - the apology - off.

"Weren't your fault this happened," he answered as he grabbed his part of the stash they were dragging down for trade and went to the door. "Ain't got nothing against ya, neither. You were doin' what you needed to for your people. We're good."

If I hadn't got bit first sits on the tip of his tongue but he swallows it down. Who knows if that's why? "Okay." After a long moment, Paul finally nods and grabs the rest of what they're taking down and trails after Daryl to the door. Once they're out he draws the door shut again with his foot and lets out a sigh.

"Back down we go." He gives the older man a slightly lopsided smile before heading back to the fire escape so they can move down. It's not actually that bad - it's not like this number of flights is horrible for someone like Paul. Still not the best, but all right. "Top few floors of this place are gonna be good for us, I think."
