[ It's late at night when you get this message.

Hello to all heroes and villains, and people who really don't give a shit. Meet Carl Grimes: a kid who kinda straddles in all three categories. He's actually pretty filthy, with his blue shirt stained with dirt and sweat. His hair is slick with sweat as well, looking like it hadn't been washed in a few days. The only thing that looks impeccable is the hat he's wearing: brown with light gold tassels, a sheriff's hat.


His eyes are clear and he frowns in confusion. It's obvious he's a newcomer. ]

Hi. I'm Carl.

[ He pauses, trying to find something good to say without saying anything. It's like reaching out to people on the internet before the walkers came about, he suppose. He's trying to remember what you do on that, but he hasn't been on the Internet for a long, long time. ]

I was in Georgia before I came here. I was with my dad. His name is Rick Grimes. He was a sheriff, if it helps. I don't know if he's here or not, so I'm just looking. So I guess . . .

[ Another pause, and he looks a little uneasy, unsure what else to say. He wants to say the names of others, but he's not even sure if they are even alive, the last time he saw them they were running around in the burning wreckage of their home.

His uneasiness and habitual shyness took the better of him and quickly turns off his camera, sending the message to other "heroes" before he looses his nerve and not say anything to anyone at all. ]

Hey. Name's Desmond.

[He feels for the kid, he really does. Nervous, unsure of himself, separated from everything he'd ever known....

It's like looking into the mirror and seeing the sixteen-year-old Desmond.]


So did they tell you what your powers do yet? [Because really, talking to a kid about superheroes is about the best icebreaker he's found.]

Handy. And the second one...don't worry about it. You'll figure it out.

...I don't think I've seen a Rick Grimes on the network, though. Sorry about that.

Man, that sucks. I know how that feels. Being separated from your parents, I mean. [Never mind that for Desmond, it was willingly.]

Hey, if you ever need anything let me know. Okay?

A lot, actually. I imagine they'd put you in school, but there's plenty to do in Heropa.

[A pause.]

Are you Registered? That's the only way they'll let you use the teleporters.
shutupandgetintheanimus: (this idea is the worst idea)

Right then. ...Probably a good idea for now. Registered people get dragged into pr stunts and things like that, I think.

Anyway, there's a movie theatre. Lots of shops. I think there's an arcade too, if you're into games.
