Okay, so this is great and all (I mean at first I thought I'd had some bad pot and this was some kind of trip, but it's been three hours and nothing is melting) but where the hell is everyone?

Dad? Nora? I will seriously even take Mr. Friendly Zombie right now. I don't recognize anyone here.

Also, an important question. Where can I get a gun? I'm feeling all kinds of naked without one.

As the poster boy of survival horror post-traumatic teenager, I resent that. We can deal just fine.

[unmasking]

Oh.

Sorry.

[razorback]

It's fine. Just... think about it this way, we've been fighting for our lives for a while and haven't broken down yet. Odds are we can cope with a more peaceful environment.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Thanks for the defense.
Really.
I have no idea what the fuck is going on and
Well, you get it, right?

[razorback]

Sort of. Mine's an alien apocalypse, though, not zombies.

I don't have any guns, but I can give you a hunting knife.

[redwinekindofgirl]

What, really? You're serious?

[razorback]

Yeah... about both things.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Wow, thanks...

You'll have to tell me about that alien apocalypse thing.

[razorback]

Are you still by the hospital? I can meet you there.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, I'm still there.
What's your name? I'm Julie.

[razorback]

I'm Ben, it's nice to meet you.

[redwinekindofgirl]

You too. I'll wait here, then, I guess?

Text>> Action??

[razorback]

I'll be there in a minute.

[Ben heads straight to the hospital, he tries to be quick about it, knowing how disorienting it is to suddenly find yourself in New Moore. He raises a hand and waves once he thinks he's spotted her]

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

[The hospital staff had been helpful but all she'd wanted to do was get away from them, to see if what they were saying was true. It looks that way, and the longer she stands around the more she notices...

It's really peaceful here.

Maybe it would have been a good idea to tell him what she looked like but when a boy who looks like he's searching for someone waves at her, she waves back.]

You're Ben, right?

[unmasking]

Yeah, but some bad things do happen here. A guy tried to explode a building the other day. But I'm pretty personally against ... you know. Killing people, I guess.

[razorback]

I hope you never have to deal with an apocalypse, it'd crush your ideals in like ten minutes.

[unmasking]

I dealt with an attempted apocalypse.

[razorback]

Yeah no, at home we're dealing with at least 90% of the human population gone.

[unmasking]

That many ...

What happened? Ours was a giant flood.

[razorback]

Alien invasion.

[unmasking]

I would find that strange except, you know, it's not really. Advanced technology wiped out earth's civilization?

[razorback]

They shot down communication first. Then attacked major cities, then sent in scouts to kill the survivors.

[unmasking]

Yeah, I get it. My world is lucky since we've got the whole superhero thing, so ... kinda hard to be successful. But a few have tried. They've tried really hard, even without the giant flood.

[razorback]

We're fighting back, it's just... not looking great.

[unmasking]

Is it better to be here?
