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.

i miss watching bob ross paint.

ninja warrior, too. i never got into the bachelor really.

[superstringtheory]

NINJA WARRIOR WAS AWESOME especially when people fell on their asses

i never liked bob ross much but id watch someone paint now. like. his voice was so relaxing and im zero percent relaxed anymore

[iesus]

i used it to pick up techniques and to learn what not to do. (i make myself useful in the apocalypse making runs, that kind of skill is the most useful thing i have.)

bob ross used to be one of those things when i couldn't sleep. soothing. it'd be nice to have that now.

[superstringtheory]

you gotta jump over a lot of stuff making runs? i haven't had to do that yet but there's always time.

see i'd say i could do that but i think it'd just end up being stressful. "ok now i'm gonna paint a tree. shit. ok it's a mushroom now. or uh. a bird? yeah probably fuck (sound of paintbrush being thrown in fury)"

i'm not that zen.

[iesus]

i've had to do more jumping on top of box trucks than i'd like to admit, actually. more than i thought i'd be doing for sure.

i'm more of a flowers guy than painting anyway. the whole flower language, sending messages with a bouquet thing. you can be pretty passive aggressive with that kind of thing.

[superstringtheory]

at least you're working out your quads.

i don't really do passive aggressive so much as aggressive but i guess if that's your thing. i'd just hand somebody a bouquet of poison ivy and be done with it.
