A few questions that I may as well ask before my character makes his attempts:
1. What happens when we try to call home? For that matter is there even a phone available? Does the phone call out at all if there is one? (IE does it at least work to call 911? I would assume not.)
2. TV's The usual questions.
3. Attempting to leave the estate grounds. The final desparate act of denial ... walking home.... What happens ....? Don't have to answer these right away ... But just so you know ... I plan to recruit someone to try....
Those are questions I'm planning on answering in the rp, but I'll answer now for you
1. There is simply no service. No one can contact others technology wise. It's almost as if they are in limbo. Not alive, but not dead.
2. Somehow, electronics of any kind works. Tv does work and the internet doesn't. However, there are computers. Anything that you need in the mansion will appear somehow. It's willing it into being is the gist.
3. Basically, think of minecraft. It's an endless world and I suppose you could leave, but you might starve to death or dehydrate.
