BACKGROUND: The world has been rampant with brain-dead people affected by the bee virus, and those with the bee vaccine are immune. However, only a certain number of people got it (mostly military families and others close to the government who knew about it before it got out of hand). The bees are lethal due to the fact that a radioactive chamber was leaking into the runoff water; going into the nearby bee farm. Making all honey that was produced WITH that water, deadly enough to create a 'B zombie' (BZ for short). For some reason unknown to everyone; adults are the most susceptible to the deadly virus. The rule being: the more developed your immune system is, the faster you'll die. If this storyline bores you; Kindly click out, thank you. Now this will start 3 weeks after the world shut down with 2-4 teenagers (the max you can play is 2 but I only want 4 and between the ages of 13-19). Set in the USA without any electricity, gas, or water; unless your character can get some somehow (otherwise it doesn't just show up out of the pipe or the light is on). You can choose if the parents are dying, BZ, or in hiding (aka teen is abandoned). Maybe throw some romance in there? You can't have an apocalypse without a romance; gotta have some hope for the human race. Anyway, give me a little background on your character and run with it; all the basics. Thanks for reading, and hopefully participating. And like I said MAX 4 users and the LEAST being 2. Now let's go...
Teal had never been alone before. Well, she had been; just not entirely alone like this. Her parents were nowhere to be found, sitting in the shell of her house, waiting. Not for anything in particular... Just waiting. Maybe for a sign that it was real, and something more than these 3 barren weeks. She knew what she had to do and just didn't want to go through with it. Cutting her hair would be completely shedding her old life, as well as dressing like a boy. It was what had to be done; she had heard of all the others who had gotten raped and nothing was done about it. Nothing could have anyway; the system is collapsed and the law figures are the ones committing the atrocities knowing how to get away with them. It was all so twisted.
And so there she sat, facing the front door sitting behind the couch using it as a barricade. This is what it has come to, and she is still alone. She gets up and walks in to her parents (or was her parents) bathroom; throws open the drawers and begins searching for scissors. Going fast so she wouldn't change her mind and go sit at her usual post like she had been for weeks now. Deep down she knew what she was waiting for, but she couldn't admit to herself it wouldn't happen. No way in hell would her parents be back; they were probably BZ's by now or refusing to return afraid that she was one.
Quickly, she began cutting. Strand after strand; faster, and faster. Until there was only stubby, blonde cowlicks left; nothing remained of the Teal she knew 3 weeks ago. Just the one that would sit behind her couch staring at the front door, for hours on end, barely eating. The one who stole a case of water by running into a looted grocery store and taking the cart with her. All of it was risky and something she never would have done before, but look where it brought her. She was still alive.
