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. |

Well, I don't see no people 'round here that I know. Just as well. I hang out with a buncha assholes. Sorry, no, I can't pretend this is normal, you don't know what the Bible is? Tell me you're at least familiar with the beardy white guy upstairs. You know, God?
[Like, yeah, she gets atheists, but most of them at least have a passing familiarity with what they don't believe in.]

she lets out a shaking laugh and nods, finally. ] Sorry, I know what the Bible is. It's just... Not called that. We don't... have religion any more, where I'm from. [ a beat. ] The belief is that it causes violence. I've never known what to believe.

No religion, huh. That sure woulda helped me out a few times.
[Definitely would've helped pull Jesse's head out of his ass sooner if he gave up on his preacher bullshit due to it being nonexistant or whatever.]
Yeah, Christian Bible's done a lot more harm than it's done good in the world, so I can see the point there.
[Especially recently, with this Genesis stuff and their hunt for the missing God.]
I ain't the most devout Christian, but I guess you could say I believe. Pretty sure there's a Hell I should be in, anyway.
no subject
[ she seems thoughtful, though. ] Does it really cause harm? I did end up wondering if they were lying.
[ look oleta is from the same world as hester it's pretty fucked up. ]
no subject
Sounds almost like what Hester had goin' on.
[Tulip sighs, trying to think of how to explain it.]
Religion's the kinda thing, people try to find answers in it. Comfort. Meaning. That's what it's s'posedta do. But then some people get to thinkin', if religion worked so good for me, why can't it work good for everyone? And they stop at nothing to make sure it does.
