You are inside '''a residential tower''', within one of the units. The paint is peeling, and the floor is strewn with twenty years' worth of dust and debris. It's night. The generator's tank has run dry, and the room is dark save for the flicker of the fireplace. Within, people who have never met wait for the end.

I originally joined UD sometime in '07 to run with a small group of friends, and Aphelion was my main alt. But the group slowly atrophied as people got bored or quit for other reasons, and eventually I ended up an unaffiliated survivor randomly wandering around Malton trying to help out in major sieges and whatnot. But I learned the hard way that trying to hold things (particularly malls) is generally a futile endeavor, and once I hit 41, playing felt doubly pointless. I lost interest and eventually quit.
 
Sometime in March '09, something--I don't remember what now--reminded me of UD, and I unidled Aphelion in a surge of nostalgia. I decided that if I was gonna play this game, I wanted to join a group to have some sense of direction, and I really wasn't interested in being a survivor. I wanted to see the game from the other side, but moreover, I was fed up with survivors being apathetic and poorly coordinated. But survivor gameplay is more complex than that of their zombie brethren, and variety is the spice of life, so I started investigating PKer and death cultist groups. I was particularly interested in the latter because I wanted to go pro-zombie, and the [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front/Gore Corps|<span style="color: #a26d4c">Gore Corps</span>]] wiki page caught my eye. I couldn't have picked a better group. Rolling with the RRF is a blast!
 
And for the record, yes, I'm aware that there's no such thing as a lunar aphelion.

There's a bit of a story behind this one. I created Prima back in the day because I felt Aphelion's Military class wasn't nearly nerdy enough, and I ended up as a dedicated reviver for Stanbury Village's Yeoman Park. Aside from Aphelion, I decided to make new alts when I rejoined UD so they had something to do while I figured out if I wanted to join additional groups, so I left Prima idled out until [[User:Another_alias| <span style="color: #a26d4c">some jerk I've known for way too long</span>]] ran across Aphelion and recognized the handle. I'm from the same site as LUE and happened to know him, but neither of us had any idea the other played. Long story short, I got dragged into the [[Mostly Harmless|<span style="color: #a26d4c">Mostly Harmless</span>]] IRC channel, and we had a conversation along these lines:

And good times have been had by all since!
 
Since ZiP's retirement and Mostly Harmless's unfortunate but inevitable decline, Prima has been wandering around Malton engaging in amusing hijinks of various sorts.

Holy shit, Aphelion's playing a pro-survivor character? Can it be done, or will she start shooting people?! (I can't help it! I see the red HP and my finger just....slips....)
 
I created Gienah as a random scientist before I remembered Prima existed, and for a while I wandered around trying to be pro-survivor but generally failing at it. Like, I was operating an RP for a while, but aside from sticking the odd hapless newbie, all I really did was make snarky comments about harmanz with trenchy profiles at the RP and revive these PKers who kept hitting my NT. And I mean, they weren't even particularly ''good'' or ''amusing'' PKers--they didn't emote, for one--but you gotta entertain yourself somehow, I guess.
 
I eventually joined [[404: Barhah not found|<span style="color: #a26d4c">404: Barhah not found</span>]] because <strike>a bunch of my friends are in it</strike> I wanted to better understand how an effective breather group operates, both because this makes nahmming them easier and to do something different, and instantly had a lot more fun. 404 is pretty special; since it consists mostly of zombie players with harman alts, it brings the <strike>IRC whoring</strike> high degree of coordination enjoyed by undead strike teams to the survivor side, and it does things that are tactically sound (e.g. smart combat revives to clear buildings) even if they're unpopular. If you're looking for a harman group that's both a ton of fun and knows what the fuck it's doing, I highly recommend giving it a look.

Although I consider myself a pro-zombie player, Beid is one of only two zombie characters I have, and it cults when it gets CRed. Even though I don't regularly carry guns, I enjoy baiting harmanz into shooting me too much to buy rot, at least for now. I'm into things like emoting and propaganda, and as much as I enjoy shouting things like "NAM ZAH HARMANZ BRA!NZ!

You are inside a residential tower, within one of the units. The paint is peeling, and the floor is strewn with twenty years' worth of dust and debris. It's night. The generator's tank has run dry, and the room is dark save for the flicker of the fireplace. Within, people who have never met wait for the end.

Lunar Aphelion sits at the dining room table. An array of shotguns is lined up before her, and a smile is on her face, though it might just be rigor mortis. She loads one last shell, then lays the gun on the table.

Across from her sits Gienah. Next to her is a cup of Assam tea, brewed from the very last of a dear friend's stash. She lifts the cup to her lips, and when she sets it down, it's empty.

In a rotting armchair by the fireplace sits Prima Giedi. An empty pistol lies on the end table beside her, and in her hands is a book of poetry by Millay. She turns the final page, then, with a sigh, closes the cover.

Beid is on the balcony. Her last cigarette burns down to the filter. She exhales a long cloud of smoke, then removes it from her mouth and casts it to the ground below.

Angetenar isn't here. They are in the street below, where they belong, scenting for prey. There will be no more, but it's the principle of the thing.

A dented portable generator has been set up here. It is out of fuel. Repair Bot damages and fixes it over and over again, emitting small confused beeps. No one pays it much mind.

The room has been decorated with four stuffed monkeys. They seem to be watching you.

Somebody has spraypainted We love Cade Bot, in this world or the next onto a wall.
