OUTBREAK: ZERO is a semi post-apocalyptic pandemic roleplay set in the fictional city of Lethford, USA. Current season: Winter, 20/21.
March 2020. The world is in pandemonium as one month ago, GHNv-20 was confirmed, five months after the beginning of norovirus season. The number of the infected are in the higher hundred thousands, and the death toll is at an estimated 250,000, with about seventy percent of the rest of the population experiencing mild to moderate illnesses connected to the S. pyogenes bacteria.
The fear of the unknown has caused mass hysteria and panic.
In an attempt to provide a semblance of safety and control, military personnel patrol the streets, even here in Lethford City, and the police force is trying to keep up with the rising street violence, assault, and theft.
Welcome to OUTBREAK: zero. Will you survive?

The early hours of morning had began, birds chirped lowly with beautiful tunes of harmony, the sun blessing her wonderful humans with warm rays of sunshine, giving the earth a more heavenly look. These mornings were one of Matthew's favorites, more often he'd find himself stopping in his tracks to simply soak in the sun, and relish in it's beauty as she graced his skin. Even when the world seemed to be falling apart around him, even if the lingering thoughts of his sick Mother plagued his mind from day to day, Matthew still found joy in the sun, it least the illness wouldn't take that way. What made this morning even better, was the fact he was gifted with a rare vacation from his work, being told he deserved one, Matthew was hesitant to take it, but after a few reassuring words from his sisters, he accepted the offer.
He had a whole list of things planned for this mini vacation of his, the top of the list was spending his morning in a coffee shop to enjoy a cold coffee, and listen in on idle conversation around him, perhaps even join in if he felt as though he could. So there Matthew sat, a warm expression of a smile plastered among his face, hands holding onto a ice coffee with delicate care. He had found a seat close to a window, eyes every once and awhile shifting to it, to watch the people passing by, taking smalls sips from his coffee. The morning felt nothing but perfect to Matthew, what better way to enjoy the possible end of the world then a cold cup of coffee? Matthew could barely hold the heavy sigh that escaped from his lungs, gaze quickly shifting back to the window. ''Focus on the good things, Matt, you'll get through this.'' Words of a reminder would be whispered to himself, one hand removing itself from his cup to tap against the table below him anxiously.
Jax hated today. He hated everything about it. It wasn't even eight-thirty in the morning and he was already pissed off. He hadn't wanted to go back to work. He hadn't wanted to see anyone from his squad. Hell, he hadn't even wanted to wake up today. He would have been just fine if the damn world had slipped from its orbit and sent everyone into bloody darkness. But the world had continued turning, the sun had come up, and life had insisted on continuing. So he had begrudgingly gotten himself up, showered, and dressed. He had dragged himself out of his apartment and down the steps. He didn't want to go, he could feel his legs shuffling along in protest. He felt like a petulant kid that didn't want to go to school. If it were only as simple as playing hooky to get out of a Spanish test.
Jax walked along until he got to a coffee shop. He texted a buddy on his squad that he was getting coffee for them and to send the list over. He hit the button and walked inside the shop. It was odd to see the shop open. He had become so used to everything being barricaded and closed up. Life now seemed to be takeout only, an endless sea of people shuffling from one line to the next. It was nice to see a place still open, providing some semblance of normality. Jax walked up to the counter and ordered a black coffee and a doughnut. He tried not to think too much of the strawberry iced doughnut with sprinkles that Emma would have ordered in a heartbeat. He paid the barista and glanced at his watch. He hadn't felt his phone vibrate from an incoming text so he decided to sit and try to enjoy his breakfast. He had time to kill anyway.
Jax walked over to where a row of chairs sat by the window. There was another guy there already so Jax sat two seats down from him. He sipped the warm liquid, then set it down on the counter top in front of him. He rubbed his eyes sleepily before he spoke, "Well, at least we get to have coffee breaks on this road trip to Hell." There hadn't been too much of a food shortage yet. There was certainly still enough booze and tobacco to go around. He didn't care about any of that. As long as they could still get in coffee he was happy, well...relatively happy.
