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.

Snickers? Red Hots? Or are we talking Ethel's candy bowl that survived the Nixon administration?
thecost: (you're a sharp dressed man)

i could part with some snickers, definitely.

i already ate all of the granny strawberry things, sorry.

Ok. If I show up with stuff and you don't have my Snickers I'm gonna make you watch me swallow all your nitro tablets.

What do those do anyway?
thecost: (does it fit this shoe)

[personal profile] thecost 2017-06-18 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
i'll have your snickers. even if i didn't, please don't, i'm not equipped to treat the after effects of your seizures when you overdose on them.

they're to assist with heart attacks and heart conditions. we have a couple older citizens that need to have them on hand.

So they're more boring than they sound. Got it. What do they look like?
thecost: (like it's holy land)

[personal profile] thecost 2017-06-18 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
way more boring than they sound, unfortunately.

they'll be in small brown glass bottles inside boxes that are either white and orange or white and teal. either box should just say "nitroglycerin tablets" on the front in pretty large letters.

they get overlooked a lot when people scour pharmacies but if you're already in one it should be easy to toss them in with the rest.

What's the markings on the tablet? Not everything comes in a neat package. I could be going through grandpa's pill organizer wondering what's good and what's fish oil.
thecost: (take a look at your foot)

[personal profile] thecost 2017-06-18 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
they're small, white, and round. they'll be imprinted with an N on one side and a 4 on the other.
