So its first of May and you have a date with this girl you met on the net. The place is at 800th block fifth avemue, you live on the 20th block. Besides, the real life RNG really hates you.

Will you make it without facing certain doom?

*audience cheers "Yes"*

You are in your appartment. Its a mess, images hanging uneven, old food rotting in the sink, towers upon towers of dirty plates and s computer dying to all that dust you never clean.
The TV.. Well you accidently broke it one day.. When you were practicing cossack dance.

Its in the 80s, tensions between USA and the Soviet union rises to the point where small scale nuclear arms has been exchanged in the middle east. This is escalating quite rapidly. You live in the industrial city of Sheffield, wich in itself is a strategic target due to the industry, with an RAF airbase nearby, wich is indeed also a target. Its a normal Thuesday in Sheffield, you are doing your usual business when suddenly the sirens wail, beckoning the citizens to take shelter.

Rules: Dont make a character like "NOOKLEAR HOWLOWKAWST SURVIVAH xDDDD", you are a normal citizen, or a soldier.
Disclaimer: This is only loosely based around the movie "Threads", i know jackshit about Sheffield and i will take alot of artistic freedom about locations and stuff, feel free to consult a nuclear attack survival guide though, ive done alot of research on that.

Health condition: A bit snotty, coughs a bit at times, has a bruise on his foot from yesterday when a muffler fell on it.
Occupation: Mechanic
Attack Preparedness: Informed
Description: Dave has been down with a cold the weeks following up to now, a few days ago he got fresh and just got back to work. Initially he didnt care much, thought it was jsut saber rattling. However as the events escalated he got more and more worried, he started listening to the public information broadcasts, read the flyers, the manuals, even had a talk with his old physics teacher about it. The other guys called him paranoid, and he was starting to question his sanity too, untill now, now they will see.. oh wait maybe its a test.

So uhh my computer is being a dick. It decides to get out of hibernate randomly. So this time i wanted to close it down fast again. It said it needed to update and shut down. So i did the natural response and used alt f4 to tell it to shut down without installing

It wouldnt listen.

Just sits there for whole hours on full jet fan mode as it always does when i DONT want to.
I once got really fucking frustrated and held the power button to forcibly shut it down. But that resulted in having to recover it. Wich took way too long time, i had to go to an examn.

It also once did that shitty clown trick when i was about to go to school. I got 30 minutes late and i had to run several km with 10 kg in my bag. Wich is very much for my weak and slender little back.

Dear microsoft: go break a bottle and shove it up your ugly ass. Leave my sleep alone and dong overrule my decisions.

Theese capitalist pigs also woke me up this night with their bullshit. I was dreaming a dream you morons. About a new girl even, and we were about to kiss jesus dicks. ASSHOLES

Open for suggestions!

So. In some cultures the clitoris is removed on the female infant, the foreskin is cut off the male infant.
Some religions teach their believers to spread their religion and slay those who resists to convert. Some religions promise a paradise for those who kill the nonbelievers and are killed martyrs. I dont get it.

We all know the effects of raising children in closed christian sects. Out comes a bigotted, spoiled, illogically thinking fuck that believes that the world revolves around their book.

My mom was one of those. Im the result of her. I have been banned from alot of places and muted here, for bigotry. I was a brainwashed little minion of the church, now i am free.

There are obvious consequences from teaching a person to ignore facts in favor of ancient fiction. We have dumbshits in the politics trying to ban homosexuality and censor culture. England is infested by Islam gangs enforcing the sexist, homophobic shariah law. Dont even get me started with those Taliban fuckheads.

So, why is it so protected? If it was, say Pokemon teaching childrens that they should hate lesbians because they eat pokemons alive, or if Naruto taught kids that if they jump off tall buildings, Naruto would come flying and save them, we would have given those people hell. But because its a 4000 year old collection of books, its sacred and protected and you are an evil Stalin clone for wanting it banned.

I dont say religion should be banned, but rather that we ban acting on them and dedicating ourselves to them or jugding on them in situations where actual fact and reality is needed. Trekkies dont build monuments to Picard and wake everyone up in the morning by screaming prayers in Klingon and crusading against Star Wars fans. So why the fuck does religious people need to?

Why are homophobes and bigots allowed to exist? Why?

Why can it be that i got banned from a minecraft server for being transsexual? I didnt tell them, they tracked up that info. The owner said he was christian and that i was harmful to the younger users and offending his religion. They didnt advertise it as a christian server.

Just throwing this out here, im really confused and i just want to hear your guys opinions on it. I Dont want start a flamewar, just wanting to talk.

No anythingism intended. Sorry for any bad grammar, getting shoes thrown in your face can be rather disorienting. Not intending to insult anyone though the bad language might make it seem like that.

The darkness shrouds the starless sky, your bottle cracks into a thousand pieces as it hits the floor, thousand pieces of electric happines, maybe you shouldnt have drank that? But its all too late now, floor a tempest, you are slipping out, falling into a spiral. Your love sings in electric colours and you are lost in the dark jungle of biolumiscent temptation. You have fallen down the valley of shadows and the sky is loosing its stars, a terrible, but avoidable fatality.

Its all a colours now, no shape, no reason. Its up to you now to regain your foothold of what was once reality.
Never felt so alone.. yet so.. surrounded.. this undying reek of anothers mind, stuck like yours, perhaps?

Something.. something... a multitude.. Who are you? And where do you come from?[/color][/i]

So you were biking home from the jazz club up the hill. Its a cold winter night, fullmoon with a starry sky.
You decided to take a shortcut this time, you wanted to get home early so you could call your girlfriend overseas before she would go to bed.
You took a shortcut through the woods. Dashing down an unpaved forest path, you are suddenly struck by a terrible realisation: You are afraid of the dark.
Fearing apprehension you tramp harder, and harder. You sweat and your heart is pumping mad. Suddenly, the front wheel hits a stub, your are thrown forward over the stub, followed by your spinning bike.
You are knocked out. Minutes pass, you wake up with your wrecked bike on top of you. Your phone is dead and you have no light but the faint rains of moonlight passing throug hthe foilage creating small dots on the damp forest soil.
