It seems I've ended up in a rather interesting place somehow.

Well, since we'll be spending the foreseeable future together, how about we try to get to know each other a little? My name is Ritsu Shikishima, and due to various circumstances, I have no world to return to (if it's okay, I'd rather not talk about it). And so, I can't say I'm really in a rush to get out of here or anything.

What about the rest of you? What were your homes like? Or, if that's too depressing a topic for some of you and you'd rather not dwell on the past, how about some questions to break the ice?
If you were to describe yourself with an idiom, which would you pick?
What do you like to do in your free time?
What's your favorite location here?

You can answer any or none of the above, or tell me something else about yourself you'd rather talk about instead. I don't mind.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting along with everyone here.

[Sure, she'll bite.]

Home is depressing as hell, but if you really want to know about it I can tell you.

Favourite place here is the AZ. Good for just chilling out, even if you're not working on anything.

[suicideprototype]

The AZ, huh? You're the second person to mention it. Seems like it's a popular spot.

I won't lie and pretend I'm not interested, but if talking about home would just be a painful and unpleasant experience for you, we can talk about other things.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Nah, it's fine if you want to know.

The whole world kinda went to shit about a decade ago. Zombies, then war, then just humans being fucking dicks to each other.

[suicideprototype]

I guess all the zombie movies in my world had it wrong when they assumed it would end at the zombies... So humanity found a way to survive the zombies?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Sure.
'Don't get bitten' works most of the time.

[suicideprototype]

When you put it like that, it makes me realize. Good armor would really render most of the threat useless, huh?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Sure, if we could actually make that kind of thing.

[suicideprototype]

Was the military unable to? It seems like the kind of thing they would have access to.

[redwinekindofgirl]

There isn't a military anymore. Not one that actually wants to help people.

[suicideprototype]

How about a government?

[redwinekindofgirl]

You mean like Congress and stuff?

Nope.

[suicideprototype]

That sounds rough.

So. Lawlessness and a military disinterested in helping the people. That's what you meant by humans being dicks to each other, huh?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Not really.

There are still laws in each enclave, just no national government.

As for the military, I don't know. There were military factions not that long ago, but not really something you'd want to have protecting you.

[suicideprototype]

I see... It sounds like you've been through a lot of hardship.

Would you consider this place a step up, then?

[redwinekindofgirl]

I guess it makes sense that you'd ask that, but no.

I left a lot behind and I want to go home. There are things I still need to do.

[suicideprototype]

...I know how that feels.

There must be people waiting for you back home, huh?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah.
I was kind of in the middle of something important.

[suicideprototype]

What was it?

[redwinekindofgirl]

I'd just found my mom.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah.

I've got a lot of people counting on me.
