JANUARY 2ND, 1966 — WINTER, 2039

stroke mention tw

❝ in a world overrun by infected, dying a natural death is almost seen as a miracle. and that's how our very own eugene linden went out at 73 years old, a quick stroke claiming his life. one of our leader's oldest friend, there is nothing that he wouldn't do for this community, whether it's picking up a sick patrolman's shift or helping out in the kitchens when we were all feeling a little bit overwhelmed, he would do everything with a fun word and a welcoming smile but he was just as fiery as the next person. you will never quite meet anyone like eugene, a tinkerer of all things electronic and someone that you never knew what he was up to. i remember when he and my father met and, just like that, he was a part of our family and someone that was there to pick jackson community up when henry couldn't. he always said how he wanted his funeral to go and we will be honoring that wish. "i don't want my wake to be some boring, tedious fuckin' get together, ya hear me? a want a quick funeral, a decent eulogy and then i want everyone to have fun and have some barbecue and some music. no tears, but a lot of dancin'," he'd say. eugene will certainly be missed. we should all go out like eugene. old age, living a long life. that's the dream right? may he rest in peace. ❞

ooc information under the cut.

and here's the first event! i wanted to make it chill and a way for people to write their characters in a setting that's not "normal" but also not too complicated so we can focus on building our muses and our connections! that being said, here's some ic info:

IN CHARACTER INFORMATION

WHEN: friday, winter, 2039 ( month wise, around late november, early december )

TIME: starts at 7 pm

WHERE: clay pit bbq ( not a wednesday, but they made an exception for eugene )

WHAT: a bbq night / wake, with music, food, drink and dance to celebrate eugene's wishes

MORE: no limit on drinks or food, no closing time ( though they're not working past 2 am ), though please remember you still have to work tomorrow morning and be mindful of the biting cold outside.

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

WE ARE NOT OPEN FOR INTERACTIONS YET. that will come around tomorrow, 9 pm gmt+1.

TAGS TO USE: survive.starter & survive.wake ( both for starters )

TIME FRAME: the event will run for about a week and it can be extended if the group feels like it needs it. it will start on may 14th ( sunday ) and it will go until may 21st ( sunday ). threads can be continued past the end of the event but no new event ones should be started past that date.

A LITTLE NOTE: if you want your character to be connected to eugene in any way, please let me know! although i won't be accepting any family connections, they could have been his co-worker ( he was a retired patrolman, having been a technician for the past FIVE years, going to the dam many times ), neighbour, etc.

AND WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR OOC INTERACTIONS. first, i want to say i am so thankful to everyone that's joined so far. this group has been on my mind for forever and it's surreal to see it come to live with such amazing muses. i am so freaking excited to get to writing with you guys. our opening event has officially started. members, start posting your starters, under survive.starter & survive.wake, and have fun interacting with each other and all the lovely muses!

that being said please remember to keep the guidelines in mind and take a look at the checklist once again so you can use the appropriate tags, as well as the blogroll to make sure that you are following everyone.

A FEW NOTES:

as of this moment, everyone has 72 HOURS TO POST IN-CHARACTER ( following the guidelines about activity, with extra time ) before being reopened. if you need more time, please let the admin know! i'll be lenient with this rule but just setting it to avoid having people join and then never post for the week-long activity check.

please try to reply to starters before posting your own, so everyone's included. although there will be leniency on that rule since it’s the first day of the roleplay, i don’t want there to be too many starters and not enough replies to those so keep that in mind.

last, and definitely, not least, have fun! i cannot wait to see all these beautiful characters come to life and to write with them.

please like this post so i know you've read it!
