Someone once said that the end of the world would be like watching "The Happening" while listening to R.E.M.'s, "It's The End of the World" on repeat.
After one too many drinks, and many more trips through the guardrail of good sense, one might find the comedic value of that statement. Of course, you'd have to tie in the fact that the person that finds the humor in such sentiments has to be completely insensitive, considering the end of the world has already came and went.
And yeah... It was a little like the aforementioned statement. Although, most people are too busy trying to survive to make that joke.
It's been two years since the relatively, anti climactic apocalypse came and went, putting us at (you guessed it folks) the year, 2014.
So, let's just get some things out in the open. No, there wasn't a nuclear holocaust. No, the trees didn't rape us like Evil Dead had professed they would. No, we didn't go completely nutpoo insane and try to eat each oth-- Okay, maybe it would be better if I just explained what happened.
Two years ago, mother nature decided that it was time to bitch smack us back into submission. We had overstepped our boundaries and started to push our world into a corner... And that's when it's fight or flight instinct kicked in; what perfect timing, right?
As with all things, the world was constantly growing and changing. Developing; evolving. Our plant life decided that, it didn't want it's life goal to be to get eaten! So, it started to develop this natural compound that, over the years, would start to get to us; start to make us absolutely insane. Who knows how long the plants have been working on offing us!
This is where you're going to start guessing, "Oh, well, the people that only eat meat were totally okay, right?"
WRONG!
Animals eat the plants, we eat the animals. Got it? It's the Circle of Life, my good friend. I suggest you start getting acquainted with it.
But anyway, I digress.
The toxin builds up in human's systems, causing us to slowly turn into, I guess you could call them "Zombies." They're batpoo insane, and just really want to mowdown on people's flesh. But the problem is, that it is a slow and... barely noticeable process. You start to lose your sanity in subtle ways at first... and then you go absolutely bonkers.
Very few people out there are immune; we all live in fear that slowly, we'll start to become zombies.
Beyond that, we've got plenty of other poo to worry about. How about those Raiders? Hopping from house to house, stealing whatever they can... Raping, mugging. Yeah, class acts, right? Sad part is, most of them were lawyers before the end of the world. HA! No, I'm just pulling your leg. These ruffians were always "pieces of work." But, in all seriousness, you have these guys who are absolutely out of their minds. Then you have the "Crusaders." Religious zealots that believe that God has chosen to smite all of us for premarital sex. Then there are these people that call themselves the Old Bloods. They're... kinda like our vampiric EMTs. They're not so bad; a little morally ambiguous, but... Ehn, well, if you ever meet one, you can make your own opinion. Then, there are people like me, Nicky Nuclear, who are just trying to rebuild society.
Oh, and zombies. Did I mention zombies?
As always, Rustboro, and wherever the hell else is patching our transmissions... It's been a pleasure. Happy Zombie Hunting! This has been Nicky Nuclear, your daily dose of insanity!
