Seven days ago, the world ended. Not with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a sound like a camel being shoved through the eye of a needle.
Grab your shotgun and don your re-purposed sporting equipment - Ragnarok's come and it's time to mess shit up.
Seasons now available on AppleTV: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
If you do not want to make a character, but would still like to bip in occasionally/fuck with the players, then do I have good news for you! Characters whose names are written in Lime may be controlled by anyone who wanders into the thread. Anyone. Just make sure to post the character's actions in Sandybrown so DE?AD notices them.
There are currently five (!) missions happening simultaneously:
[The Deluge Part III] [Viscount Islands]

[Because you are trying to change me? Because you feel the need to confess your sins? Because you just wanted to brag? Honestly I don't know, Mr. Steadman. You're the sociopath, not me.] Other Henry adjusts his tie again. [To tell you the truth, I... was never very good at my job. People disliked me, resented my questions. It had to be done, of course, both for myself and the government, but it was never easy.
[Still, I had a house in the suburbs, a daughter, and woman who loved me - that's the American Dream, isn't it? I was happy, I suppose.] He shrugs. [Then again, maybe I... wasn't. Maybe I didn't. Maybe this is all your imagination, and I am nothing more than you, telling yourself you were a man once. Maybe you are the real Henry, and I am the coping mechanism. Who's to say, really?]
[Bro]COLOR="Lime"]2[/COLOR
The Winnebago chugs down the street, straining against the incline until it reaches an intersection and a slight leveling-off of the road. The town looks abandoned, shop windows empty, not a sound on the streets.
"Jesus man, you got to fuckin' give us more warning than that," The Bro muttered as he set t'work makin' a drink t'replace the one that was now a puddle on th'floor. He turned a perplexed eye to Jimothy.
"Uhm... are we really gonna have the kid walk around like that?
...Why the fuck's the kid with us anyway?"

"Empty." Dusty slows the Winnebago, a little, reading some of store names. "Nee-ed gun stores. Police station. Food. Rug also important. Make into shopping trip." He completely takes his goggles off the road to answer the Bro. "Party rogue. Lo-o-ockpicking skill. Trap detection. Sympathy votes."

Also: The Iron Clap ships out tonight! I want it to ship out so badly.
Just be as vague as possible, basically. "I know a guy who owns a local bar," or the like.

Just, anywhere and any situation, there is a local bar that is owned by a dude you know.
there were no problems with it, right?
[Bro]
As the conversation continues, CRABBY notices that a rather seedy looking bar just past the intersection still seems to have its light on. Hell, it's even got a "open" sign in its band fliers and public notices.
Sure, Shaboot.
The Bro stared at Dusty for a good long while, his lips quiverin' as though they couldn't decide what words t'form.
"...You know what just fuckin'... nevermind man.
Hey... hey wait a second I remember now! A buddy of mine moved to San Fran just a short time before the, you know before shit hit the uh, the fan. Good guy, we used to bowl together. If we can find him maybe he could uh, you know help show us around.
'Course, I guess that's assuming he's not some kind of, like, fuckin' giraffe hybrid or whatever the fuck."

Dusty snaps his goggles back to the road, swerves around a fire extinguisher, and slams over the curb, coming to a complete stop. "Could ask directions." He bows his head at Crabby and opens the door, stepping out into the crisp, morning air.

Brag? Kinda hard to brag to yourself, I'd just prefer that both of me are on the same page. Gratuitous, ill-thought-out character development is the order of the day, every day.
[You're too quick to dismiss yourself, perhaps [I]you[/I] needed [I]me[/I] to keep you alive until we got to this point. A mask that could let you do the things you couldn't. You wear a mask long enough, you start to become that mask, Henry. And if no one ever sees the face behind it, well, who are you then?]
[Tell me about our wife, Henry, our little girl. What do you remember of them?]
As soon as everyone is on board Lil' Chuck makes sure to put on his seatbelt.
Safety first!
at least that's how it worked in the past
The bar's door swings open easily, revealing a rather dimly lit interior, with a sparse, rather utilitarian layout. Bottles of various colors and shapes line the mirrored back wall behind the counter, a large model space-ship mounted just above them. It isn't an Enterprise or a Millennium Falcon, so it must be from one of those really obscure, embarrassing series.
A man stands behind the counter. He's wiry for a bartender, with stern, yet somehow calm, benign, features. He doesn't look like he could be more than twenty-eight or so, but something about his movements make him seem much older. "Well, aren't you worthless, festering cock-sores a sight for my old syphilis ruined eyes" he says cheerfully, motioning to the bar stools. "Have a seat, I'll get you a drink."
CRABBY identifies no threats or second stories on the building.
[Cecil]
Everyone ready? Who's piloting this bitch?
[Henry]
Other Henry reaches into his pocket and retrieves his wallet, pulling out a photo and handing it to Henry. A brunette with plain, yet pleasant features smiles at the camera, holding a swaddled baby in her arms. She has kind eyes, and her smile is warm. [That's them, as far as I know. There is little certainty in my, in our, existence.
The back of the photo reads "Armsfeld Park" in swirly handwriting. Not yours. There's a date below the location, but it's smudged beyond recognition. [We were happy, I believe. Contented, before the Crash. Before... all... this. That is what my mind, what your mind tells me. Of course, your wallet doesn't have that picture, does it, Mr. Steadman?] He flips out the wallet again and looks over it. [This isn't even our wallet, this is Dr. Adlers. Though I suppose it suits our purposes for now.
[We still have not reached the answer, Mr. Steadman, to my previous question. You do not want those things - shelter, food, air, happiness - you need those things, and they are so base as to make them meaningless as a reason. That is life, Mr. Steadman, the question is... Why do you live?]

Jack looks down to Jen from the top of the tank
What about bringing both? he asks
"God, what happened to your voice, dude? Jeezus, sounds like you gargled with asphalt." She shakes her head. "Whatever. We could take both, but my tank is faster than this thing in the air. It'd just slow those of us on my girl down."

"Understandin' a the situation's never been the issue, but...." Did I hear that correctly? "What's that I hear." I smile. I slowly narrow my eyes as I say these words: "Are. You. Mad?" I look him in the eyes, or what passes fer 'em on this abomination. "Do I make ya angry, Uriel. Do I fill ya with so much generic rage, Uriel. 'S not very superior, not the behavior a one who thinks hisself above such petty human things."
I pause, my smile disappears for a moment. "Or...." I smile again as I look over my shoulder, "Is it him, Uriel. Does he make ya angry. Does he make ya wanna grab him, touch him. Does he appear in yer thoughts when ya don't wan' him to." I stroke his cheek with one a my fingers. "Are dem times when ya touch him, more than jus' simple scans, Uriel?" I laugh at him. "Yer pathetic, Uriel. Yer more like us shaved monkeys then ya'd like ta admit."
I look him straight in the eyes again, my smile fadin'. "One more thing..." I spit the douchebag in the face, "Fuck you too." I push his arm away.
