radioactivism | EVENT #1

[ a serious, clinical-sounding woman's voice will be broadcasting on all radio frequencies sometime in the middle of the afternoon. it starts with a businesslike clearing of her throat. just to make sure she has your attention. ]

Greetings, settlers. I hope you've found yourself comfortable. We have had the... honor of your presence for quite some time now, and the time has come for you to earn your place. In your respective towns, we've placed bulletin boards listing some tasks you may elect to do in exchange for pay and other necessary supplies. While these aren't mandatory... [ there's a slight sneer to her voice here. ] ...we do advise you to select at least one that you are qualified for.

Employer's names and locations can be found on their respective flyers. Please direct all inqueries to them.

[ there's a momentary pause, but the transmission doesn't quite end yet. ]

Please keep in mind that supplies are limited and will come on a first come, first earned basis. Simply put, if you want to survive this environment, there is no leeway for slacking off.

Good luck.

I don't really know, if I am comfortable hunting the monsters that are here.

I doubt they're uncomfortable with hunting you.

That is a good point, but, my issue is that I think that these animals, are probably more dangerous than the ones that we are accustomed to. And, also, I can't use my abilities, to befriend them, or to at least make them less aggressive.

So? Just means we gotta kill them a few more kinds of dead than we might have had to normally. Not seeing the issue here.

[ shrug.

wait he can't see that. ]

It just, doesn't seem very safe, or wise, to do that when our abilities are not as strong as they used to be.

Dude. Stop being such a wuss. You're wetting the entire bed full of people who actually want to do something other than sit in their own piddle puddle and cry.

No, I'm not. I'm just saying that I don't like this, and, that I'm uncomfortable with it.

[ wusssssssssss ]

No one's making you go.

I didn't say that, they were. But I will be going, anyway, because I am confident and strong.

Oh god, please no. Stay here.

I doubt "comfort"'s in the mundis operando.

[he means 'modus operandi' but whatever]

[ can i go back to being dead yet. sigh. ]

At least not here, in this town.

Another short stick, hunh. S'a lotta you out there.

I think I saw more people, going to Orsun, than to the other place. But, mostly, it was due to the fact that their friends were sent here, rather than not being granted permission to go in.
