we are the leftovers.. a year ago, something happened to our town. it wasn't until later that we realized it was all over the world. for some reason, all of the adults we'd ever known were gone. just vanished into thin air. it's just us kids now and we're making it work. we've gotten our town functioning again. we have stores and homes and rules and despite the struggle, we've managed to maintain our humanity.
after the initial shock, things got back to "normal" pretty quickly. alpha rose to the top and she's still looking for her second-in-command. there are kids ages 13-18 here; once you hit your 19th birthday, you're gone. just like the rest of the adults. so whatever you do, don't grow up.
we have a school and a shopping center and a few of the old hangouts, and of course we still have coffee. much to our chagrin, it didn't take long for the cliques to sprout back up after the apocalypse. some of them stay in their own territory and some try to run this town, but the alpha stays strong.
if you join us, you'll have to be a functioning member. no layabouts allowed or the town will fall apart. that means getting a job of some kind, even if it's temporary. you have to make your presence here mean something.
THE CLIQUES:
Annoying Normal. These are the upper-echelon kids. Practically royalty. They're neither ugly nor pretty, stupid nor smart, loved or hated. They're actually a little bit of both. Just right enough to be annoying.
These kids will hang out with anyone and they have all sorts of middle-of-the-road traits. They're not special but they're not the worst.
Brutes. These are the kids who used to come to school with greasy hair and fresh bruises on their faces from their fathers. Now they've cleaned up but a piece of them is still dead inside. They're emotionally stunted, prone to fighting, and it's hard to get to know them.
Sometimes, if you try, it's actually worth it. Brutes won't befriend just anyone--you have to be down and out for them to notice you. Otherwise, you're just another face in the crowd.
Loners. Just what it says on the tin. They're better off by themselves. These are the writers and artists of the Dead Kids. They live in their own minds instead of on the earth, and it's impossible to really know these guys.
If forced, the loners can't be together in a group. They'd rather hang out with people wildly different from them.
Pop kids. These guys are for real. They grew up on the rich side of town, spending daddy's money and pretty much not giving a shit. Yeah, they're entitled, and they play intense mind games, but they're smart and savvy and they know a lot more than you think they do.
They could probably kill us all if they wanted.
They stick to their own kind, sometimes letting in an underling for fun and games. If you'll let them manipulate you, they'll give you a seat at the round table.
