TEST DRIVE MEME #1.


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.

not everyone likes their comings and goings to be announced publicly

the system might seem inconvenient to you but this isn't about you
this was set in place for the settlement as a whole

you might not see a point in it since you're applyin it only to yourself
but there are other people to consider
other people w loved ones who find comfort in havin that log in place

you can argue w me all day about it if you want but you're gonna sign in or you're just gonna have to accept the consequences

yeah yeah
ill sign yr fuckin paper
lemme just say tryin to pull at my heartstrings over it aint helpin ur case
and ok we rly have to worry abt ppls feelings rather than letting everyone know for sure their back which is what u just got done sayings the most impt thing
cant do a mass text, nope, ppl might get ~embarrassed~
sounds more to me like ur just rly in love with the paper as a concept
knew u just had a bureaucratic hardon for it


[She said she'd sign the paper, so she signed it. With a little drawing of a tulip flower. Hey, it's unmistakably her, at least.]

nobody's keepin you here
