Clementine Dale

He speaks fondly of her...

Hair like sunlit honey, soft but stubborn. Too long for practicality, but she won’t cut it. A sentimental type, then? Or just that confident?

Those same deep green eyes. Sharp? Heavy? Hard to tell, but there’s an intensity there.

Small but built solid. Stocky, strong! Definitely not someone I’d want to test in a fight!! I like my teeth inside my mouth, thanks.

Carries herself like she’s unbreakable. Walks like she owns the ground she stands on, like nothing could shake her. Confidence or ignorance? Hard to say.

Fists faster than her brain. She’s good! Dangerously good. But all that strength and skill… wasted on someone who barely seems to think things through. She sounds like she has a single brain cell dinging around like a DVD screen saver.

▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

Clementine tagged along to Stockholm so Chip wouldn’t be alone for his big moment. What a good little sister, right? But then they swung by Alvesta to visit a friend, planned to stay two weeks, and well. Then the world decided to "fall apart". Now they’re stuck.

▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

She looks small, but it’s a lie. Built like a brick wall, dense as hell. If she charged at you full speed, you wouldn’t even have time to regret your life choices before hitting the ground. "Fists like sledgehammers" I quote. It wouldn’t shock me if she could punch through drywall.

She’s strong, but not in the smart way. No deep strategy, no careful planning, just raw instinct and confidence. Clementine doesn’t hesitate. If something looks like a problem, she’ll solve it with her fists first and figure out later if it was the right move.

Pepper?

I probably got some details wrong, but hey, this is what I’ve gathered

Hair’s fried beyond saving. Black and white patches, like a skunk that lost a bet. Must’ve been black originally… before the bleach got involved.

Forked tongue. No, really. A snake tongue, like one of those extreme body mods. Just imagine the commitment.

Pierced to hell and back. Even got those big, eerie, window-plugs in his cheeks. You could probably watch him chew through them if you wanted nightmare fuel.

Talks like he’s always in on some joke. A weird mix of cheerful and mocking. Hard to tell if he’s laughing with you or at you. Probably both.

...Family is a funny thing, isn’t it?

Pepper’s not blood, but you wouldn’t know it. He and those two, Chip and Clementine, act like real siblings. One of those friendships that blurred into something closer over time. Cute, in a way... makes me jealous...

▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

Freelancer type. Could’ve been something great, right? Talented, by the sound of it. Except... ▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

All brains, no brawn. He wouldn’t have been much help in a fight I assume. Maybe he’s learned a thing or two since then. Maybe not. Hopefully not.

"Just because two of us are useless now, doesn't mean we don't have our worth."

Pepper knew full well that he and Chip were useless to a group of people that need others with survival skills, but that didn't mean his engineering knowledge and... other... knowledges(?) would always remain useless right? ▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

Important notes:

Clever, but not quite as sharp as Chip. Easier to fool? Maybe. Easier to persuade? That’s the real question.

▇ ◢◤ ▇◢◤ ▇◤▇◤▇◤▇◤ ▇◢◤

Flirtatious. Cocky. That dangerous mix of charming and intimidating. The kind of person who could talk you into a bad decision before you even realize it.

Something’s off. There’s more to him... I just don’t know what yet. And I hate not knowing.

[chromebies]

Chip Dale

Blurry details, but let’s work with what we’ve got!

A gnawer! His fingers are a battlefield... scarred, red, chewed to the bone (not literally, but close). Dermatophagia? Anxiety? Self-cannibalism? Who’s to say! But it’s a habit that screams stress, and stressed people break easier.

Droopy emerald eyes. Gorgeous color, tragic posture. Stares at the floor like it owes him something. Eye contact? No thanks. A telltale sign of prey instincts.

Short. Frail. If a strong gust of wind ever decided to throw hands, he’d lose. Zero combat potential. If things go sideways, he’ll be the first to fold.

Twitchy little thing. Legs bouncing, fingers fidgeting, movements restless. Anxiety? Nerves? Maybe just a natural-born worrywart. Either way, not a leader. Not a threat. Not a problem… probably.

Nowhere to go, nowhere to go! Stuck like gum on a sidewalk.

Chip. Nobel Prize winner, doctor, science, vaccine guy, something? Fancy titles, big brain, supposed miracle worker. But, oh dear, what a time to be a man of medicine, huh?

Once things went spectacularly south in Alvesta, Chip and his sister Clementine found themselves stranded a whole continent away from home. Canada? Probably. Not that it matters. No way back. No contact. No closure on whether their loved ones are breathing or rotting. Tragic. Poetic. Predictable.

Rude prick!!

Not a fan of strangers. But he knows. Oh, he knows... they need people. Survival isn’t a solo sport, and these two are helpless in the fine art of reading. Books? Signs? Instructions? Nope! If the world needs "saving", let’s hope it doesn’t involve literacy.

"Why should I trust strangers with our lives? You have no reason to help us."

Chip isn’t the type to roll the dice on kindness. He’ll take your help, sure! But trust? Not so easy. Just because you smile at him doesn’t mean he believes you won’t shove him into a horde the second things get dicey. He thinks too much. Weighs every possibility. Always calculating, always logical. Which is funny, isn’t it? The best course of action is to trust, isn’t it? We’re all in the same sinking boat, bailing water with our hands! He must know that. So… did he really think they’d throw him overboard just to lighten the load?

Important notes (because remembering things is hard):

Thinks too much, trusts too little. Every decision is a chess move, every person a potential threat. FUN!

Swedish? Not a single word. Hand him a sign and watch the confusion set in. If he gets lost, he stays lost.

Might have a bit of a temper? Or at least, I get the feeling that if he ever snaps, he’ll REALLY snap!!

His sister is his anchor. No Clementine, no Chip. It’s that simple!

Edgar Artin

He was spoken so fondly of...

Chardonnay eyes, chardonnay hair. Fancy. Classy. Makes me wonder if he smelled like it too.

Always smiling, or so they say. Maybe that’s true, or maybe people just like to remember him that way.

Tall, a little skinny, nothing too remarkable. No scars, no weird ticks, nothing that sticks out. The kind of guy you’d lose in a crowd if not for the way people talked about him.

Soft-spoken, gentle, calm. The kind of person you’d want around in a crisis. Or, more likely, the kind of person you’d invent after one.

A lifetime of regrets, huh? Must be heavy to carry.

Found holed up in a confectionary shop, all alone. Apparently, he’d been there for who-knows-how-long. Resting, he said. Hiding is more like it.

Legally blind. Been losing his sight for years. Didn’t mention it until he had to. Now, why would someone keep that a secret?

Didn’t trust the group? Understandable. But if he was lying about that, what else was he lying about?

Smart, or just a good manipulator? Either way, he knew how to survive alone. That takes a certain kind of person. I should take notes on what he did.

"... We are all in the same position. If we don't put our trust in one another, then everything will start crumbling apart around us before we notice it in time."

Oh sure, trust is the glue that holds society together, rainbows, teamwork, yada yada. But slap too much glue and things on, and suddenly you’re stuck in a sticky mess you can’t wiggle out of! Desperate people do desperate things, and if you think everyone’s playing fair, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Poor Edgar though! He had no choice but to throw himself at the mercy of others, hoping they’re feeling generous... Wouldn’t even be shocking if all that "nice guy" business was just a well-rehearsed act. Can’t blame him, really. If you can’t be strong, might as well be smart.

Important notes:

Not necessary.

Alvesta Faces Unprecedented Wave of Public Disturbances Linked to Possible Contaminated Substance

The usually peaceful streets of Alvesta have become the stage for a series of alarming incidents over recent months, leaving the community searching for answers.

"This isn’t just a law enforcement issue—it’s a community health crisis. We need to identify the source of this contamination to prevent further harm," Hjärtrud Ek added.

In the meantime, residents are advised to exercise increased caution, particularly during night hours.

Drivers are reminded to stay vigilant for individuals who may wander into the road unexpectedly, and all community members are encouraged to report any suspicious behavior or incidents of distress.

Health services in Alvesta are on high alert, preparing to respond to and support individuals who may be affected by this contaminated substance. Efforts are underway to increase public awareness about the risks of unknown drugs and to provide resources for those seeking help.

As the investigation continues, the community of Alvesta is coming together, facing this unprecedented challenge with a unified call for awareness, caution, and cooperation. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available, with the hope of swiftly addressing and resolving this alarming trend.
