"Welcome to New Haven and congratulations on the best decision of your life! Here, in New Haven, we guarantee safe living from the chaotic war zone that is America. Once the elevator reaches its destination below, you will receive several security prompts. Please follow these commands thoroughly to ensure the most optimal experience here at New Haven."
The happy, yet hollow female voice left the air, and the elevator went silent. The couple, young and attractive, stood silent, holding one another's hand in excitement and uncertainty. After the various bombings of the east coast, they had decided to sell everything they had to live in this bomb shelter. Luckily, it wasn't very expensive. Their families told them their decision was brash and naive, but they didn't care. They would safe. They would be together.
When the elevator finally reached its lowest point underground, a ding broke the silence, and the doors slide open. Stepping out of the elevator, they found themselves in a small room, bare except for a shelf to their right and a small hole in the wall to their left. The elevator doors slide closed behind them and began its ascent to the surface once more. The couple looked at each other, unsure of what to do next, when another voice, this time male, whined through unseen speakers.
"Please remove all of your clothing and place them in the receptacle."
The couple looked at each other. They were good Christians and hadn't seen each other naked before! The young man turned away, blushing. After awkwardly maneuvering themselves around the room as to always have their backs to each other, they removed their clothes and put them in the hole in the wall. Almost directly after the last set of clothes was deposited, the voice sounded again.
"Now, will applicant MARY LANE lay on the x-ray table for several moments to be scanned for any foreign objects."
Mary laughed. She couldn't help but think about people who might try to smuggle crack-cocain in through their anus. After laying on what appeared to be a normal shelf for a moment, the voice instructed her that the scan was complete. Next was JON SNIPER.
Finally, the scans were done.
"Next is the sterilization process."
Sterilization? Mary glanced at Jon, but his back was turned respectfully. In the next moment, the white lights became a flooding red, and an odd mist began to spray on them. Mary couldn't take it anymore. She ran to Jon for him to hold her.
"I don't like it!" She said. He smoothed her hair and told her everything was fine. "Just imagine it as using hand-sanitizer, except on our whole body."
Several minuted later, the lights returned to normal and the mist stopped. A ding sounded from the speakers and a door that the two had previously overlooked popped open. The two, now holding hands tightly despite their lack of clothing, proceeded. In the next room, they were relieved to find new sets of clothing. They donned the clothes quickly, before waiting for further instructions. Upon slipping on her last shoe, Mary jumped at the sound of a new voice.
"Through this last door is New Haven. Your homes are as follows: Apartment A, number 5. The passcode to enter your apartment is as follows: 1279. Once inside, you will find 3 key cards, for easier access to your homes. Enjoy your stay and god bless you."
Well, that introduction ended up being longer than I expected. Anyways, this RP is about exactly what it sounds like: People living together in a bomb shelter sometime in the future (Within half a century at least). The shelter will have about 50 people total, with several apartment buildings along with some other buildings (dining facilities, gyms, workshops, etc). The shelter itself is obviously pretty expansive so feel free to create new areas/buildings.
After I get some applications, I will create a few NPCs and throw in some conflicts depending on where the plot is moving. This should be a fairly flexible RP that should be easy to maintain.
Anyways, let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and, of course, if youre interested!
