>Susan.
Ugh. No thanks. You'll stick to my default name, Ruby.

What do you want to do?

Make waffles!

...but you don't seem the type to cheerfully do that. So, failing that, go pay somebody to give you waffles and bacon!

Eat a bagel and a better name might be Zara, break the default!

Ruby is flat broke.

No. Ruby is fine with her na-- okay i cant do this third person shit.

I'm broke, and my name is Ruby. Just... tell me what to do.

Open the window! Let some light in, it looks really dark in there.
And then we can think of something cool to do after we raid the fridge for a bagel or sandwich meat or something.

try to smile.

OKAY FUCK THATS BRIGHT

>And then we can think of something cool to do after we raid the fridge for a bagel or sandwich meat or something.
Well, the fridge is a no because the ant infestation tainted all the food. Maybe there's some salvageable bread in the breadbox, but I doubt it.

>try to smile.
I don't smile. Ever.

Well then, sourpuss, I guess it's time to get a job. Or go collect unemployment money or whatever.

Or...ADVENTUUUUURE!!!

Hrm. Alright, so what sort of things do you normally do in your downtime? Are you in a mood for loafing around and watching TV or something more active?

Find a permanent marker and start a crusade of lewd graffiti in public areas. Anything from venus de milo to shoddy dick drawings, just goddam EVERYWHERE.
Become a cultural phenomenon as a result of your art.

>>624378
Where do you usually get money? Or food? Got any more well-off friends that like you enough to feed you in exchange for your company?

Go outside, maybe you can find something neat out there.

>Where do you usually get money? Or food?
I work at a secondhand book store, with a specialty in comics. It pays my rent and for ramen noodles. There ain't much adventuuuuuure in selling comics.

>Alright, so what sort of things do you normally do in your downtime? Are you in a mood for loafing around and watching TV or something more active?
I read comics. I watch cartoons meant for children. I enjoy video games. Outside is bright, garish, and most importantly, bright.

>Find a permanent marker and start a crusade of lewd graffiti in public areas. Anything from venus de milo to shoddy dick drawings, just goddam EVERYWHERE. Become a cultural phenomenon as a result of your art.
I'm not doing that, however I think I'll become more than just a cultural phenomenon... just an inkling.

>Got any more well-off friends that like you enough to feed you in exchange for your company?
Just one filthy rich friend from Georgia who buys me games like ALL the time. You'll "be introduced to her soon." I dunno what the hell THAT means.

A very ghostly version. Usually, there are kids running around and adults shooting the breeze. The fact that there's not even a distant lawnmower running is quite frankly freaking me the hell out.

Turn on your computer, TV and/or radio to see if there's anyone else on earth.

>>624545
What's that lying in the street?

This... is the Twilight Zone

I'm sure it's fine, this just means you should except that fact that you may be the last person on earth. All the more comics for you and no more old people yelling aimlessly in your general direction.

They cut the damn power and haven't turned it on even though I paid them fucking yesterday. In lieu of that, I knock on the doors. Not even a "who's there."

A giant ball and a jump rope.

While free comics and no old people yelling at me sound hecka sweet, I don't like being alone. I check my phone and open my chat client to see if anyone is even online. There is in fact two people. Who do I text first?

Yup, looks like rapture happened.
Break into someone's house and raid their fridge.

>>624558
Interesting that both of the online people are named after the sun. Talk to heliosama, ask why your neighborhood is suddenly deserted.

Try contacting the second one helio-something.

contact heliosama, have phone sex texting

I guess you people can go to Lonnie (aka heliosama) or stay here with me and explore the dead town.

Eh, lets get introduced to Lonnie.

Who the hell?.… Hi. I... guess I introduce myself so we ain't total strangers.

I'm Yolanda, but y'all are more than welcome to call me Lonnie. I have an inheritance from my deceased parents so I'm pretty well off. I pretty much do commissions for people on the internet, a part time job at the local diner and that's about it.

Now, spooky voice that kinda sounds like my friend Ruby, what do you want me to do outside?

See if the deadzone continues on here of course. Ruby was pretty freaked out about it after all.

Nothing for now cause we are kinda paying this by ear to be honest.

>>624591
Oh, you can directly hear us. Ruby didn't seem to be surprised so I thought it was a subconscious thing. Hi.

Favicon up for approval in /questdis/

From now on, I'll be using the names of the characters as a way to identify who you're speaking to.

>See if the deadzone continues on here of course. Ruby was pretty freaked out about it after all.
Well, okay. I got some clothes on, and head on outside. Usually the other rich folk are outside braggin' bout their riches, but I guess not today. I live not to far from the diner I work at, so I can head there, see what's up with Mama, the owner. I also can call my chauffeur to drive me downtown, which is in the opposite direction of the diner.

>Oh, you can directly hear us. Ruby didn't seem to be surprised so I thought it was a subconscious thing. Hi.
Hey there. First, I am a little more than spooked by all y'all just talking to me. Second, the fact that Ruby doesn't find y'all creepy don't surprise me. She's told me before that she hears voices all the time. And has weird dreams in black and white about some guy named.... Roy or somethin'.

Lets walk to the diner if you don't mind.

That ain't normal.
Saturday afternoon, and the place is empty.

Yep. May as well tell Ruby it's empty around here too. Was the power out at your house?

Nope. I woke up, checked my phone and it was at 100% charge. I watched some TV, on the anime channel, and after a while, I decided to get dressed and that's when Ruby texted and y'all started talkin' to me.

CHECK THE DINER WINDOW.

... That wasn't y'all, was it?

What does the sign on the window say?

See if you can't call your chauffeur. See if he picks up.

No... no it wasn't.

>>624707
Hmm... I'd say check for news on the internet or TV but you're out of the house now. Maybe the diner has a radio or tv you can check?

That's an envelope, hon. I go up and open it. It's written in yellow, addressed to me.

>See if you can't call your chauffeur. See if he picks up.
Somehow, I doubt that'll work...

Anyway, here's what the note reads...

"Good afternoon, Miss Yolanda . My name is Sir Roy G. Biv. As with your schizophrenic friend, a miss Ruby Vermillion, the world around you is void of life. This is, of course, a catastrophe of massive proportions. My advice to you is to contact some of your other friends. I fear that the time has come for the Seven Heroes of The Grand Iris to unite. You must do so posthaste.
Sincerely, Sir Biv."

Hah that is an old one. Stands for the colors of a rainbow.
Red
Orange
Yellow

Green

Black
Indigo
Violet

Roy G Biv

... hmm, Ruby, Yolinda. That is two of the letters that also match that acronym. I wonder if the rest of the 'heroes' will also share that?

Err Blue, not Black.

I don't much like going in when Mama ain't in there. Besides, heheh, the door is locked... and I kinda wish this pesky whisper goin' on about my "inventory" and checkin' it would shush.

I'll go in after this sick feelin' in my stomach goes away. I have a headache from suddenly havin' an external voice speak to me, and frankly, I'm about to piss myself from fear.

>Cool, you're gonna save the world! Better tell Ruby.
I take out my phone and start texting her. After this, y'all are goin' back to her. I... I'll need a moment to digest all this.


ruby, im sorry for callin you ridiculous.
it's a ghost town here too.
