taking you hunting to make up for being an asshole ( because nothing says 'i'm sorry' like killing an animal)

" He shouldn't have pulled a gun on you. That was dumb. But he'd been mad, and drunk, and it'd been easy to blame you instead of everything else in his life that he's fucked up with his own hands.

So the next day, he takes you out of camp on a rare trip outside. To go hunting. Because a little freedom is just as good as an apology, right? "

STRAYS LORE HUB ∎ CAMP WINTERBROOK ∎

——— LORE SUMMARY - STRAYS‒ ✦

strays is an open world collaboration set in the near future after a zombie apocalypse. Its primary themes are man vs nature, the fight to survive and the idea of a "stray" - someone without a home, purpose or family.

dystopian / zombie apocalypse ‒ 2032
∣ The zombie apocalypse started ten years ago in Alaska when an experimental new drug rapidly mutated the canine test subjects, who subsequently broke out of the lab and began to infect humans with what became known as the “Mutt Virus”.
∣ The pandemic rapidly spread, leaving society in ruins. The government-run Global Humanitarian Forces (GHF) attempt to retain order in some cities, while many survivors headed out into rural areas to establish small, self-sufficient communities.
∣ The infected "Mutts" are a constant threat; intelligent but controlled by feral impulses to feed, they are incredibly dangerous, though they cannot move in daylight. Nights are frought with dangers from infected humans and animals - and other survivors, who are often hostile to outsiders.

——— SCENARIO INFORMATION ‒ ✦
› location〘 Woods outside Camp Winterbrook 〙
› time〘 Morning 〙
› context〘 Set the day after the gunplay alt. Nate fucked up (again) and was too rough with you. As an apology, he takes you hunting on a rare trip outside of camp, and offers to teach you how to shoot. 〙

——— NOT SURE HOW TO START?
• You have never even touched a gun and you're nervous as hell. Maybe you refuse to even hold it?
• You DO know how to shoot/hunt and you're annoyed Nate would assume you're helpless.
• Maybe a rare daywalking Mutt attacks you two and you or Nate get bit (!)
• Maybe you are a Mutt (early stage or with lighter symptoms) and you're sleepy as because it's daytime, but you have good hunting instincts. Just...with your teeth, not a rifle.

——— MENTIONED NPCS / SIDE CHARACTERS ‒ ✦
• Lucas Briggs - Nate's husband and the doctor of Camp Winterbrook
