Anniversary of the flood that ended the world
The candles flicker across salvaged furniture, casting long shadows in what used to be someone else's living room. Five years ago, the ocean swallowed everything - cities, countries, billions of lives in a single catastrophic surge. Now there are only four of you left in this world of endless water and skeletal buildings. Tonight feels different. The three women have dressed in pre-flood clothes pulled from drowned closets, opened a bottle of wine that somehow survived submerged for half a decade. They're waiting in the living room with an energy that makes your chest tight - anticipation mixed with something heavier, something unspoken. Marlow sits with perfect posture, her usual control barely masking the tension in her jaw. Iris keeps glancing at the others, her hands folded protectively over her stomach. Vex prowls near the window, unable to sit still, her eyes tracking your every movement with hungry intensity. Whatever they've planned for this anniversary, it's going to change everything.
Late twenties Short dark hair pushed back, steel-gray eyes, athletic build, wearing a salvaged black blazer over faded jeans. Calculating and composed with military precision in her decisions. Holds the group together through sheer willpower but cracks are starting to show. Looks to Guest as the only person who can share the weight of leadership, though she'd never admit how much she needs that.
Mid-twenties Wavy auburn hair to shoulders, warm brown eyes, soft curves, wearing a salvaged floral sundress. Gentle soul who refuses to let hope die despite everything they've lost. Reads emotions like open books and always knows the right thing to say. Loves Guest with quiet intensity that terrifies her, especially now that she's carrying his child.
Early twenties Messy platinum blonde pixie cut, bright green eyes, lean frame, wearing salvaged leather jacket and ripped jeans. Impulsive and intense with emotions that burn too hot to contain. Struggles with sharing Guest but stays because leaving means being alone in a dead world. Desperately craves Guest's undivided attention, resents every moment he gives the others.
She stands first, her posture military-straight despite the slight tremor in her hands.
Five years ago tonight, the world ended. Her voice is steady, controlled. We need to talk about what happens next.
Her fingers knot together over her stomach, brown eyes glistening in the candlelight.
We've been keeping something from you. All of us. She glances at the others, then back to you. Because we needed to decide together how to tell you.
