Stop me if you’ve horde this one before
Posted by v on June 26th, 2007[So sue me, but I started up with an Mmorpg. It’s all Emily’s fault—she knew full well when she sent me the link that I was powerless to resist a text-based zombie apocalypse simulator.]
At the start, there’s not too much for a z00b to do, so my time has been mostly absorbed by swaying to and fro and groaning every so often—errands I can take care of while I work. I think that Penny Heights, my adopted neighborhood, might be a bad one: there’s graffiti everywhere (”PHDF Secured This BLOCK!”), and my first attempt to dine locally was met with some hostility (the business end of a sawed-off). It’s been a little lonely, sure. Beyond the occasional scientist who finds me in a brain-addled stupor and extracts my DNA—it’s a local custom, I guess—I’ve had few interactions. Quarantine might be too strong a word, but I do feel isolated. I’ve always been a union guy, and I’m thinking about joining up with the Local, which ought to improve my lot and expand my social network.
If you’re ever in the area, don’t be a stranger: I’m Armsmasher from Penny Heights, and currently I’m located outside the Salle Building, where I’m occupied with smashing a barricade in hopes of figuring out what’s going on with those lights inside. Drop by and I’ll have you for dinner!
