Post Re: Epilogue post
Daemonofcaeks: Linus Robertson
Get ready for work and start travelling there.
"Aleksandrov Genetics? The rumors aren't good but they are doing some incredible work."
The article looks tempting, but there's no time to read it right now, maybe during lunch. Hmm, you wonder if they'd have changed the horrible cafeteria food. That would have been one hell of a new years resolution from the big guys. On the way to your car you double check if your security card is still in the pocket of your lab coat, wouldn't want to be strip searched at the gate again, like in 2031.

The security guard looks different today, you don't know for sure and sure as hell don't bother asking.
"First day of the year and we have to work while everybody else is sleeping off their champagne."
"No rest for the weary...."

Funny, there's a biochemical transport coming in behind you, usually those things mean interesting new research opportunities. Maybe this is going to be your year after all.



Contrary: Jon Winters
Search my apartment for candles and a lighter.
♥♥♥♥ him, ♥♥♥♥ the landlord, ♥♥♥♥ conforming to society. You're gonna light a candle, that sounds like a good calming idea.
"Jon I swear to God if you do not answer this door right now I'm going to call the cops."
Flames are such amazing things to behold, their random movements enacted by the smooth red-orange gradient.
A thud like sound on the other side of the door, a bit like when the man across the hall comes back drunk again and closes the door with a little too much force. There is also a slight hiss, might be the flame though. Oh the beauty of the flame.
"Jon Winters? Sir? We need you to open the door right now, there has been a gas leak in the building. We're lucky your landlord called just in time."



The Kebbit: Ben Jawson
Hustle Roland inside and stanch the worst of his bullet wounds with a towel, grabbing a burner phone to ring up some vaguely-trustworthy medical man. Preferably that Whirlow fella.
"♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥, not cool man, not cool..."

"whaaaaaaat?"

Roland's not going to live that much longer unless you do something. There's only one thing left to do, call doctor, a real doctor.
Ryker! Maybe he could help you out, he does owe you for that time you got those angry gangbangers to back off after one of their homies died on his operating table.
Thank god Roland had his burner phone on him, that's one less piece of evidence that can be traced back to you.
"Yo Whirlow, yeah yeah it's me Ben.
Yes the guy who shot those Mexicans last year, I told you not to discuss that over the ♥♥♥♥ phone.
Hey man I need a favour, my buddy here is bleeding to death on my floor, he needs help bad. Can you do me a solid and patch him up?"

You throw Roland in the back of your stolen black Escalade and floor it on the way to the doc.




Harzipan: Roland Black
Don't die of bloodloss/organ failure.
"Man note rule men"
Either Ben is talking bull♥♥♥♥ or you're in worse shape than you thought.
A soft:
"What?"
Is all you get out of your throat before passing out again.




Cricket: Claire Sharp
Classes shouldn't be starting until late January. Better check my work schedule, though.
With all the parties last night you're surprised nobody has called you to fill in for them yet. Better check your schedule to make sure.
Monday 31-12-35 [17:00-22:00]
Tuesday 1-1-36 [06:00-12:00]
And then nothing more. This could mean two things: One, the new manager is an absolute idiot and has no idea how schedules work. Two, the new manager is an absolutely worthless excuse for a human being and has not only fired you, but has also given you the worst possible shift as your last day. And with the other new kid and him as only other personnel on duty today is going to be great.
Either way, you're going to be late if you don't hurry up.



Moggles: Ryker Whirlow
Read the article.
After tapping the icon a few times Linda points out that due to the firmware on her tablet and the format of the newspapers app the hyperlin......
It doesn't work that way because her tablet is cheap. While sweeping from right to left to go through the pages you are disrupted by your ringing phone. Your private emergency phone.

"Hello, doctor Whirlow speaking, how may I help you?
Uhuh, the guy who solved the Hispanic problem last year right?
Oh yeah sorry, my bad. How can I help you, you sound panicked?
HE'S WHAT? Well can't you take him anywhere else? I mean sure, bring him over, but hurry! I can't operate dead people."
Linda catches her tablet, which you dropped between "HE'S" and "WHAT?" and asks:
"Doctor what is happening, who was that?"
"Linda I need you to lock all doors and prepare the surgery for me."




We're getting somewhere people, this RtD is already a lot more fun to write than the last two. Hope you're having as much fun as I am.

Death would be inconvenient. Avoid it while dreaming vaguely homoerotic thoughts.

Vivid detail Maarten. VIVID DETAIL.

Leave out three lit candles and walk out calmly, ignoring everyone.

(Muttering) "A birthday cake with no one to make a wish..."

Post How does it feel to be in control?
Daemonofcaeks: Linus Robertson
Park the car and head inside the building and start suiting up following protocol.
Although the immense CDC-building as an equally enormous parking you always find yourself hard pressed to find a spot. Today is no different. Although, since for some reason the janitors decided for once not to park ALL their crappy cars in the reserved virologist spots, you manage to find a spot relatively close to the side entry of your own department.
The outside door opens to a short hallway lined with chemical showering equipment and blast doors which will trigger and close shut in case of a virus outbreak.
As you put your ID-card and hand on the pad next to the door a light blinks green and you are granted access into the oh so familiar dedicated break room.
Not even ten minutes later you find yourself with one coffee in your stomach and donned in the heavy class-A Hazmat suit, exactly on time.
Walking towards the labs you hear loud shouting from inside, no more than five seconds later the alarm goes off and you hear the tell tale gong like sound of the heavy steel doors locking into place.
"Time to go to work."
You mutter to yourself as you put the yellow hood on and lock it into place, sealing yourself from the outside world.



Contrary: Jon Winters
Leave out three lit candles and walk out calmly, ignoring everyone.
One candle is not enough.
You can't have a birthday cake with one candle.
One candle looks sad and pathetic.
One candle is too lonely.
Therefore it's only natural to light two more before calmly walking out your front door. As expected two cops are waiting for you on the other side. Your drunkard neighbour has apparently already left, as evidenced by his door being opened just a crack. There's a blood stain on the door, probably from when that pig came home black out drunk and forgot to open his door, again. Well, still better than him forgetting which side of the hall his door was on and then endlessly trying to ram his key into your lock.

The cops, oh yes the cops, they escort you out of the apartment where an armoured van is waiting to take you to safety. Funny, you didn't smell gas on the way down and none of them mentioned anything about the candles you left out.
"A birthday cake with no one to make a wish..."



The Kebbit: Ben Jawson
♥♥♥♥' WHEEL MY MAN TO THE DOC BEFORE HE GOES TO THA OTHERSIDE.
With Roland somehow in a seatbelt on the back seat you violently pull open the driver side door and get behind the wheel. After fumbling with the screwdriver that you had delicately pushed into the ignition the night before the car comes to life with the sound of a roaring V8 and immensely loud hiphop.
After making a mental note to find the original owner and putting a bullet through his head for making the car reset to that volume every single time your start it. You head off into the city and breakneck speeds.
"Hold on, homie! I ain't gonna leave any of my goddamn squad behind!"
Roland is softly muttering some strange and worrying things on the back seat. The two of you are going to have a serious talk soon.

The doctor's office is only six blocks from your place and you get there in less than half the time it should have taken you according to the GPS unit. Whirlow's building looks as if it's still locked. The good doctor has either fled or developed some sense of how to hide illegal business. Either way he'd have made a good decision.
After throwing Roland over your shoulder you start frantically knocking on the door. A set of blinds part for a split second and the doors open.
"Yo man he's hurt bad, what do we do?"
You exclaim.

Moments later Roland is on the operating table, his shirt cut open and his hole riddled body exposed. Not much you can do now.
"♥♥♥♥ man, did you close the door?"
Whirlow doesn't answer, he's too busy trying to keep Roland from bleeding to death on his table.



Harzipan: Roland Black
Death would be inconvenient. Avoid it while dreaming vaguely homoerotic thoughts.
Being conscious or unconscious is no longer a matter of black and white to you. It's more like a grey area of this world and your own fantasies. Ben's muscular shoulders had lifted you up and thrown you into the black compensation-mobile, but his hands had tenderly secured your damaged body to the leather seats. Oh how you loved the touch of leather on your skin.

You lose grip on reality for a few seconds, a beautiful dream ensues where Ben and the mysterious doctor lay you down on the operating table, the masculine roar of the not quite stock V8 engine a constant. The dream is brutally disrupted by Ben once again hoisting you up onto his strong shoulders and carrying you to the door of what you can only assume to be the doctor's office.
As the dream becomes reality you slip away once again.



Cricket: Claire Sharp
Whelp, better get going. Get dressed for work, make sure I have my keys, unplug my bike from the charging cable and get a move on.
The supermarket is empty when you get there, maybe the drunks had yet to wake up from trying to drink themselves to death yesterday. Or maybe they had succeeded, who knows. You fold up the scooter and head into the break room upstairs where you hang up your jacket, plug the scooter into a nearby wall socket and put on the hideous company uniform. A blue-ish shirt with black pants, a red and white blocked apron and a matching farmer's cap.
"But you're going to college, remember that."
Having to convince yourself that the job is worth it is never a good sign and you've been looking for something else for months.
The boss and your co-worker are waiting for you downstairs, probably looking for an explanation as to why you were two minutes late. But no such thing, the men appear to be friendly and seem to have known each other for quite some time, evidenced by their childish jokes.
Thankfully your job for now is to clean the backroom and check the stocks. The backroom has been a mess for weeks and the new manager is clearly looking to make a good start here. The forklift has also been broken for a while now and you suddenly wonder if you could fix it.




Moggles: Ryker Whirlow
Agree to the operation, prep for surgery.
As Linda prepares the operating room for surgery you wonder what got into when you hired a secretary with the same name as your mom. Was it some sort of strange need for her to protect you from the world or did you want to protect her from men like your father? He may have never laid a hand on you, but he couldn't keep it a secret that he was doing exactly that to your mother.

Either way, Ben is here. Good god could have taken a more obnoxious and vulgar vehicle?
"He's going to be fine Ben, listen to me! He'll be fine!
Now come with me and put him on the table."

Ben follows your orders to the letter and within seconds the man is on your operating table. He looks familiar, maybe you've treated him here before... No wait, he's that guy from the newspaper.
"♥♥♥♥, that's a great start of my year."
Well you've taken the oath and he's on your table so you better fix him up real soon. You signal for somebody to hand you a scalpel but neither Ben nor Linda are still in the room.
Useless girl, no idea why you hired her.



EDIT: There was a typo in this post. ♥♥♥♥...

Get to work, get those people to stop arguing in a lab that contains world ending viruses.
