Into The Fire – Post Apocalyptic Roleplay

Introduction

Journal Entry # 76

It is the closing years of the 21st Century, and we’re not ending on a high note. The year is 2095, a date we can not even be sure about. I have forgotten the day; the month, I think, is June, for the days are getting longer, and unbearably hot. Supplies are getting low, while the frequency we’re having to fend off raiders is increasing; proof that it’s hard times for us all. It’s obvious supplies everywhere are getting low, and we’re going to have to go far and wide to restock. The Town Sherriff is considering a migration- an exodus, or perhaps a colony or outpost- before the winter season, but first someone is going to have to scout out a new location, in a world that is a dangerous place. So far, none of the parties sent out have come back. Three days ago, me and a bunch of volunteers were sent out as one such party, but so far there’s been no interesting finds and, thankfully, no confrontations, although we did come close when we saw a raiding party pass us by, heading in the direction of Pan Town, while prisoners were being taken down south. I’ll call this journal to an end now; tomorrow is a big day, and I’m getting hungry.

Setting

This is a post apocalyptic roleplay, set in a world where the ozone layer has completely dissolved, beyond repair. With such high levels of UV radiation, to be outside during the day without protection is suicide, with risks including cancer and blindness. Crops are difficult to grow, animals are hard to rear. The majority of surviving settlements are those near a fresh water supply, the majority of technology has been used up, with the decline in fossil fuels rendering the world without a means of production. Everything that we took for granted is now scarce; there is now no man on Earth that does not live in the third world. The average life expectancy is a little over 40.

You are part of a scouting party sent out from Shire Town. You mission is to locate resources, settlements, bandit camps and, eventually, a new home. You are not expected to make it back, for all those sent before you have not.

This is a fairly open RP, and the whole point is to leave plot cues for the next poster to continue, and similarly to lead off from the cues given to you by the last poster. A good example of this is in the first two posts of the IC. We only want good roleplayers in this RP; ones who can follow that simple rule and keep the ball rolling.
