[color=yellow]Monday, 12 March 2024 -- The Situation![/color]

Viral epidemic outbreaks are being reported across the globe.

In our story's town of Springville, population 1 million (including the 'burbs), the first cases were reported just 2 days ago.  

By yesterday morning, there were more than 1,000 cases.

Last night, mayhem erupted in Springville.

[color=yellow]INSTRUCTIONS TO INTRODUCE YOUR CHARACTER[/COLOR]

[b]Determine the safety and securing of you current location:[/b] 
[list]
[*]Using the RPG Dice Roller found [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/campaigns]here[/url], create a Dice Campaign. (If you do not know how to do this, PM me. I will put instructions here soon in the form of a Hider, too.)
[*][color=yellow]Roll 1d10+3[/COLOR] to determine your the safety of and your familiarity with your current locale:
[list]
[*]The +3 is to ensure that you have somewhat of a chance to survive the first few days.
[*]A roll of 1 would be someplace unfamiliar and unsecure.
[*]A roll of 10 (or higher) would be someplace familiar and safe
[*]In your IC post, describe the locale you rolled.
[/list]

If your locale allows for others to be present, [color=yellow]roll 1d10[/COLOR] for companions.  Imagine a roll of 5 being you alone with no immediate threats, a roll of 1 being "scary as fuck", and a roll of 10 being "Whew, I'm safe as can be!"  Do not spend an unnecessary amount of time describing the people with you as they may not be with you long.

Finally, if your locale and situation allow for it in your opinion, [color=yellow]Roll 1d10[/COLOR] for "personal protection".  Are you carrying a firearm or knife or other weapon?  Do you have access to a weapon?  Again, low roll bad, high roll good, but make adjustments for the two rolls above.  Again, I am giving you a great deal of latitude here.  [color=yellow]End of turn.  Compose and post your IC reply NOW.[/color]

[color=yellow]OOC Comments for readers and potential players[/color]

Obviously, "Allison" is me.  Allison is not a major character in the game.  She will post here for three reasons.  First, to allow me to practice using the Dice Campaign.  Second, to add color to the story in an IC format, rather than in the OOC.  And third, to OCCASIONALLY interact with other characters as their players need.

I recently bought a cheapo, semi-intelligent smart phone that does not easily do punctuation, so you will see less fancy formatting from here out, unless I am on my relatively genius computer at home.  [color=yellow]I do like yellow, though.[/color]  I use it to set things apart, such as [color=yellow]dice rolls[/color].  

So, let us get this party started...
