Realistic or Modern Insert yourself into the apocalypse

[RoseAstasia]

It’s official. Grab your favorite people and favorite things; the apocalypse has begun.

Nobody knows how or why it started, or what even happened, but it’s here; and it doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. Most survivors have found their way in the same general area at one time or another, more and more people just seem to pop up.

Sadly, it seems that everyone of importance has died, but hey, there’s a new land bridge connecting the continents and everyone seems to be speaking the same language, so let’s have a blast and try not to murder everyone? (Gotta repopulate somehow)

Good day and good luck.

Spoiler: Notes

When the apocalypse started, everything connected to power or had a charge, got fried. Anything working is rare.

Currency has no value.

Scientists don’t have any working equipment.

The internet is gone.

Social media is gone.

All governments have collapsed.

The loved ones of the characters have all most likely died and they know this.

Most religions have dissolved due to lack of people (and remaining believers losing hope)

The sky was no longer blue, more a rusty haze had replaced it's brilliance. Amy can remember the blue sky from when she was a little girl, from before the end. She rummaged through the rubble looking for things to aid her in survival. She was careful to not cut herself. Her vivid red hair stood out as a beakon amongst the gray and green that surrounded her. She was searching for utopia, she was the only remaining member in her gang, she was able to climb out of the trap that had ended their lives so now she spent her days searching on her own.

Jeremiah sits in front of a small fire, watching the ruins in front and the woods behind him. He slowly dips arrowheads in a small bottle full of a green-red paste, then quickly closes the bottle. He hears falling rubble and silently slinks towards the noise, an arrow nocked and ready

 

[CrunchyNutT]

Amy scrunches her nose being careful to not loose her footing. She sees a fire and stands up to look before the metal sheet under her feet slips and she goes sliding down the hill on it. When she finally stops she looks up and sees an arrow Inches away from her nose "...fuck.." she whispers staring at its point

 

[r_dubya]

"Name and business. Now" Jeremiah pulls back the arrow

 

[CrunchyNutT]

She scrambles back. "hey hey watch it! It's amy or red. I'm just trying to find utopia. I'm alone ok! Just put the fucking arrow down!" she holds up her hands.

 

[r_dubya]

Jeremiah hisses "shut the fuck up!" His ear twitches and he swings around, pointing the arrow towards the treeline. "You're never fucking alone Red. Never"

 

[CrunchyNutT]

"yes I am! I'm the last survivor of my gang... They all got trapped.. I was the only one to escape." she looks down before getting up and brushing herself off "calm down paranoid"

 

[r_dubya]

"Not paranoid, just cautious." Jeremiah slowly relieves the pressure on his bowstring. "You may be the only human you can see, but you're never the only one in an area. Name's Moose. We're searching for the same place"

 

[CrunchyNutT]

She extends her hand to shake and smiles at him "to utopia. It's a pleasure to meet you moose"

 

[r_dubya]

"Nice to meet you too." Moose shakes her hand. "Be glad I didn't have to use this" He motions toward the arrow

 

[CrunchyNutT]

She laughs gently and puts her hands up "oh believe me. I am seriously glad that isn't in my skull right now"

 

[r_dubya]

"That too. What I mean is if the arrow didn't kill you, the poison would. And I'd rather the arrow kill me"

 

[CrunchyNutT]

She nods thinking before sighing with relief. She looks around "so are you alone... Uh. Moose?"

 

[Oli Grey]

*rocks crumble and a person in a black hoodie and ripped jeans falls out from where she was hiding, she looks at the strangers in panic and then turns and starts to run away*

 

[CrunchyNutT]

"guess not. Whos that??" she points to the scampering girl

 

[Oli Grey]

*the girl trips hardcore and lands on her face she groans and turns around onto her back supporting herself with her hands* “P-p-please don’t hurt me!!”

 

[Oli Grey]

She says as she throws her hands up over her face

 

[r_dubya]

"No idea, but she is very freaked out" Moose walks over to her. "We're not gonna hurt you"

 

[Oli Grey]

“You’re not?” She asks and reaches up slowly to feel the damage done on her face discovering blood and feeling her right eye start to swell, she groans and mutters “I’m such a clutz”

 

[r_dubya]

Moose reaches into his back pocket and grabs a handkerchief. He lightly dusts it with a pale green bottle and hands it to her. "That'll stop the bleeding and lower inflammation"

 

[CrunchyNutT]

Red looks down at her and pulls her back pack from behind her and starts rummaging around before crouching next to the girl gently reaching her hand out "let me.." she softly whispers and examines her wound. "I'm just gonna have to put a bandaid on it ok?" she starts rummaging in her bag. "shit I'm out of alcohol"

 

[r_dubya]

Moose drops his pack on the ground. "Well, might as well sit for a while." He pulls out a large bottle of clear liquid and takes a sip. He holds it out for Red
"The yarrow on that hankie will do just fine, but coverin twice won't hurt"

 

[Oli Grey]

“T-thank you” the girls stammers shyly examining them both “I-I’m Natalie”

 

[r_dubya]

Moose motions between himself and Red. "Moose. That's Red."
