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?

a sudden occurrence of something unwelcome, such as war or disease. number, no quantity or number; nought; the figure 0.
It had been about two weeks since her run in with a certain detective. One that she had now prepared herself to play dumb for if anyone was to ask about what exactly she had translated. And one that she may have entered an agreement with that she would continue to assist him, blindly, with anything further that had to do with the files she had read. Or perhaps even outside of the files she read, if new things of interest were to come up. The same detective who had a debt to her now, not that she had thought of a way to cash in on that yet.
But she had found herself walking into the police department that day, not for Jack. No, she had another case she was pulled in on. Sitting herself in the interrogation room with someone who kept changing their language. So the best option was to call in an expert, like the one that Tyler was. Besides, she wasn't going to go out of her way to see the man. That was not her style, nor the way she worked anyway. So she sat patiently, ankles crossed as she stared across a metal table top. Her blonde hair pulled over one shoulder and in a rather sharp black pair of slacks and a crisp lavender colored button up. It was her more casual look, the blazer long forgotten about in her car thanks to the heat outside. Her signature red color on her lips.
The guy had come in very smug, sitting across from her and making a few inappropriate comments. Obviously he thought she was just another detective or something of the sorts. Her head tilting lightly as she waited patiently for him to finish before she delicately placed her elbows on the table and leaned forward lightly. Propping her head on a pair of fold hands before she jumped immediately into speaking to him in the language he landed on. She truly enjoyed the color draining from his face when he switched to another, and she seamlessly followed along. By the end, she got the information that the detectives were looking for and gave them a polite nod as she started to leave.
Though she paused as she was on her way out. Her blue eyes turning towards the door and she briefly wondered if that chair was ever delivered that she ordered for him. She considered it a favor. And she had not addressed who it was from. Just his name as the point of contact. She remembered the awful shifting noise his chair made while he sat across from her at his desk and decided a man who put a bit of effort in on his dress deserved something a bit better. So, without much though, she turned and walked down the hall to where his office had been. Her black heels clicking as she walked.
"Detective Carnegie?" She called out to the room as she stepped inside the doorframe.
Ever since this pandemic started, a deadly virus ripping through the world, Zoe had been fucked over. She hadn't even been able to change her last name to her maiden name after the divorce was finalized. And now, her ex-husband was working with her. Why? Because one of her team had gotten hurt during the riots and their boss decided that pairing them back together after everything was the best idea. She had been livid, storming into the captain's office only to be told to work with him. She reluctantly agreed and went about her time.
That day she had been sitting in Jack's office, waiting for him to come in. She wasn't exactly sure where he was, but she was going to wait for him—seeing as her partner had been unable to come in due to an emergency. It just left the two of them to do things. She had a coffee cup in her hand, taking a sip as she sat in his chair. She wasn't facing the door at the time; instead, looking at the wall behind her.
'Detective Carnegie?' came a female voice from behind her, "Yes?" she questioned, spinning around in the seat to see a blonde woman in the doorframe. "Can I help you?" she questioned.
She was able to take in the chair in front of her for a moment. So it had made it. It was in good condition and she was sure that it sounded a hundred times better than the previous one. But what caught her off guard was the dark haired woman who was sitting in the chair. She let the surprise linger on her face for a moment before she glanced around the room. Had she just interrupted something? But she didn't see Jack anywhere. She let her gaze move back to the woman.
"I am not sure, I was looking for Detective Carnegie. Did he move offices?" If he did, she'd be rather insulted that he left that chair behind. It was a gift, not just a simple replacement chair from the department. And he hadn't seemed like the kind to just forget things. Forget one dinner, he would owe her two, she decided if that was the fact. Her eyes lingered on his desk for a moment. It seemed like his. Like the items that were there before were still there. Like the name plate, the pen holder, and specific pens.
