so its NOT A GAME i must stress this its just we miss games but can't actually do them and we'd thought it would be fun
also its kinda a remake of the last one i had that didn't have the oil rig called zombox so im just taking stuff from there and
its meant to be really chill and low key. you can have all the slice of life you want on the rig. if you want action there are trips made to land for supply runs and stuff and you can just have your blorbos fighting for their lives and being really dramatic if you want that too!
slice of life end of the world stuff yay1
comes in and instantly can't type
i just got home my explanations suck but there's like. just enough plot that everyone can do their own thing or add their own stuff
yeah we just wanted something that could be super chill and kinda make your own fun
oh also its AU soooo your characters will be AU'd into the setting
but also like if you want to have some action go onto land and fight zombies and crazy people who'll sell your liver for a can of beans
yes it's a modern au thingy
and it's more we stole the setting of Still Wakes the Deep and went okay now zombie end of the world lol
listen we were charmed by the cozy rooms on the oil rig
look I played the game and the oil rig was fun to run around on
I was like man that would be a fun setting for people to be on during the end of the world
make it their lil safe haven in the water

haha I'll check when I'm home from work but NOTED
but yes tho
Martin needs a buddy besides nerds
wow martin, you don't want to be friends with the ghoul? he's very nice

is he tho
nicest guy you'll ever meet uwu
lol gerry can trade skincare tips with the ghoul
it rubs the lotion on its skin
(... gerry has burn scars over 75% of his body below the neck)
crispy fucked up body samesies
lol sorry the premise still isn't up, but basically zombie apoc and now you can live on a nice big oil rig yay~
Woo. Just to make sure I understand, everyone is basically like - AU'd into this world right?
yeah! it's a modern zombie au thingy and like if any of your blorbos have powers or whatever, you can like
have a lite version of them if you still want, just blame it on the evil corporation who was doing tests on humans through drugs in food/water/ actual drugs and evil human testing in vaults under the ground uwu~
which is how the zombie shit ended up happening
basically we don't want everyone running around with like super hero powers, but we're also like fuck it we're having chill fun here so LOL
Just gotta figure out how Gerry would work in a setting without the Dread Powers (ok, well. If TMP is any indication: happy and well-adjusted artist??? lol ) but Jaskier is easy. Rockstar, boom.
me with cooper in the game like idk his wife was part of medivance, the big bad corporation that did the bad things, and he got experimented on with radiation shit and drugs with other people and now he cripsy and also immune to zombie infection lol
jaskier def a rockstar uwu
timetoreap: how are you doing the dread powers so far
Oh! I have Martin being able to disappear due to side effects of antidepressants
That is a fucking hilarious reasoning
safe to say... those medical trials were shit and didn't list all side effects
maybe Gerry's mum was involved in some mk ultra shit and now he's psychic
sounds good!!! there is also the option to be completely normal
like "where's the fun in that???" but also Gerry's whole deal / damage is "has been entrenched in the Weird Shit going on with canon to the point that he cannot function in normal society and this decision was not one made by him but he's coping as best he can".
I mean the rig is full of a bunch of little weirdos so it's only fitting that Gerry would be weird too, but just a little bit extra weird
a lot of rig folk personally got screwed by medivance in terms of their shitty experiments (aside from like the world ending obviously lol) so he'll fit right in! lol
gerry’s mom could’ve been a big player at medivance, setting him up to be a vp of something
das some good lore for the settings just sayin
maybe she secretly slipped him some experimental drugs and he found out 👀
ooooooo I like these

since Mary wanting Gerard to be her 'heir' and Gerry going "fuck that" is also a big part of his deal....
