You Die At the End
OOC
Nobody knows why the world ended. While people certainly did know where it started, those people are all since dead. In that sense, nobody knows where it began, when it began.
All that is known is how the world ended. The all-engulfing darkness that takes away all it touches.
You've lived in this small village, a mining village, for all your life. You know everyone who lives here as well as two people can know each other. And now, each and every one of you can see the end of the world approaching, that hellish darkness creeping in from outside the village wall. The estimate is seven days. It might be a little bit more or a little bit less, but regardless, it cannot be denied. Soon the darkness will reach you.
Here, we explore a central theme. When death draws near, what do you do?
Some will wallow in despair. Some will chase after hope and fight to the end. Some will make their bucket list and set on to fulfill it. Some people will decide everything has already ended, and act free of morals. Some will keep on trying to live normally, since death always mattered to them.
This is a roleplay designed to be bitter. Do not come here expecting a power fantasy, or magical girl hijinks, or a grand strategy battle. Nothing's wrong with any of those, but this is not their place. Come here expecting to play a character. That is all.
Live those last days of your life as you desire. Maybe there's a chance, however infinitely small, that you can find a way to survive, but who's to say? All that stands before you are your friends, family, and that ever encroaching darkness.
And as each day passes and it moves just a bit closer, you watch as the end comes. You watch as it takes away the mountains at the horizon, the lake where you fished as a child, the woods where the kids used to play, the very sky itself, and one simple thought flows through your mind.
You die at the end.
