Ingame
You are inside a classroom of Pridmore Way School, a high school. Every wall has shelves built to the ceiling, every surface a book on it. Both make narrow walking corridors of the classroom floor space. Lamps hung from the ceiling make buzzing noises as they sectionally light the room. Also here is Ross (55HP).
Somebody has written the library has no organizational structure onto the door, to borrow or lend is theft or generosity onto a shelf, and answers are administered to questions irregularly onto the floor. Many are signed as the management, some crossed-out, others not.
- You say, "How many of these places exist? How did they come about?" Perhaps there is a safehouse similar to Pridmore out in the city somewhere, and you will come across it, and there will be hundreds of people inside. You could all go there; you would subsist there, though you are not sure what else you would be doing. Indeed you might prevent yourself from existing because you ceased to do things.
Perhaps Ross knows of a place, or Izzy, or Sam, if he were around. Was Caiger filled with hundreds of people? It is very large, and serious attention was made to keep it safe.
Since your last turn:
- • Ross says "I don't know how many exist, or have existed." (1 minute ago)
- • Ross says "Usually they were schools, like Pridmore—or churches, hotels or motels. Hospitals would be a choice if they weren't made so dangerous by the amount of sick and wounded admitted; later people would come through and find surprises during the first night. So rarely was a hospital established." (46 seconds ago)
- • Ross says "But the places that did become safehouse came about after the quarantine and when people realized they weren't going anywhere. Some people found safe places to stay; and if they really were safe places to stay, they lasted. I suppose people just gravitated to them, knowing others were there." (30 seconds ago)
- • Ross says "A lot of people lived like this. Who knows how many." (5 seconds ago)
- • The lights flicker. (1 second ago)
Possible actions:
- "Was Caiger such a safehouse?"
- "How is everyone doing?" "Are you certain Sam is coming back?" "Why is Doug sick?" "What's your opinion on Volker?" "Why are the lights flickering? Who's on the radio?" "Do you know who the other group is?" "What kind of place is Latrobe, exactly?" "Why are there so few dead around?" "How did the world get like this?" "I'm done asking questions."
Inventory:
- You carry a knife; a journal and a notebook; a bloodied radio and a flare gun. You have a shotgun (2), a pistol (12) and three spare magazines inside your vest pouches. You are wearing a tactical vest, blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of shoes.
