DrGravitas Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 One day you hear a booming voice loudly proclaim "Oops!" You soon discover you are the last person on Earth. Even stranger, things seem to stay the same when you're not interacting with them. Food and gas stay fresh, the power stays on, and even television seems intent on repeating episodes of random shows and occasionally an hour of empty newsroom shots. So, what do you do with the rest of your life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cingal Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I've always wanted to learn how to work metal. Old timey stuff, like armour and tools. So, I guess I'd do that for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revates Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Honestly, I think I'd freak out and be pushed to the brink emotionally grieving for all of the people that I love that are just gone and likely dwell on it for the rest of my life just going about each day mindlessly.

I guess there's always been a thing for it with renaissance fairs and so on. But, there seems a growing community for it. It's pretty interesting! Anyway, I guess after I'd done with that, I'd go browse FA for a bit,and realise there's never going to be any new art. So, that's going to suck a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'd probably go around collecting and seeing things. As lonely as it is, there's quite a lot of options. Maybe I'd find a local military base and take a tank out for a spin! 3 minutes ago, Falaffel said: #OOPS????? Ha ha, made you look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallium Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Do the pets locked indoors and in cages live? :C ...that said, I'd just walk down highways, travel the modern desolate landscape, raid shops and stuff when I get hungry...and just become a nomadic wanderer in a world that is only my own...and bring like one or a few friends because it'd be cool to mess around in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even years later you can come upon houses with pets inside that are (usually) ecstatic to see you, but otherwise no worse for the wear. No real understanding of how, but hey maybe it's compensation for having nobody else anymore. Or maybe it's a side-effect of some strange accident that caused all this. One could easily spend the rest of their lives trying to work out the rules, or try to figure out what happened, or even try to contact whatever was behind the booming voice if they still exists! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosmasterdelta Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I love being alone so it would be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I would get and play every video game I could find. Then maybe go to gamefreak's office and start making new Pokémon games to play. I would also probably stop bothering wearing clothes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty enough strange happening to think maybe some miraculous help might be had. My mad science silliness aside, what sort of adventures would you embark upon? My fursona itself is nomadic, so I've imagined the idea of traveling a nearly unpopulated world through them. Probably a lot, the journey could take forever since I might just go about it by foot most of the time, walking down long stretches of highways probably meant for four lanes of cars. Occassionally maybe raid a car or bus. I'd still free all the animals and let them become feral or follow me, my mission would be to pet aaaaall the animals (almost). I would have a backpack with me to carry food or miscellaneous items. I'd travel woods and abandoned buildings doing natural and urban exploring, climb lots of heights like tall buildings or trees to have a vantage point of my world. Any time I got hungry I would just stop at the next suburban neighborhood, city market, or restaurant and just raid kitchens and pantries and feed my pets. I'd never go hungry. I might bring weapons and extra food on long stretches past post-civilization. Just in case I need to protect myself or my animals from the other feral ones. Id probably practice swordsmanship and use that instead of a firearm if I can help it. At night I would lay out under the stars on the grassy fields, or on the cemented roof of a skyscraper or building. I would blast radios so loud that the entire city could hear its roar, a concert for myself that I can hear in any location within its radius. I might travel to libraries, read more books in my spare time, draw more sketches, have unlimited access to paints, spraypaints and canvas, and leave my mark every which way. All the while I might travel in some hope or effort to find maybe some other person, make it a quest of mine to see if there's somebody else out there in the same situation as mine, and maybe this would be part of my quest until I die. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagged Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If I already haven't committed suicide due to the depressing fact that I am and will be literally forever alone, then I guess I'd just wonder around the world, do all the stuff I've always wanted to and I guess finally have enough time to do it all, like, reading, becoming actually good at drawing, finishing video games and doing exercise while with a hopeful mind, waiting for that one sentient contact, like a man on a stranded island To be honest, no matter how much I think I am better off alone, in reality, I am not. We humans are simply not made for that. We need to be social and I'd become an emotional wreck in less than a week. The whole situation reminds me of an analogue of living in a golden cage, and if it was up to me, I wouldn't voluntarily live the rest of my life in one Also, I am fairly positive that wild animals, illnesses and natural disasters will still be an issue. Who keeps me from being eaten by a pack of wolves that will be immigrating into cities too after all humans but me are gone? Who has the medical expertise and a second pair of hands to treat me when I fall ill or get a severe wound? What if there's a fire in the house while I sleep and none to warn me about it? Overall, I'd think I'd meet my end too very soon after everyone else just.. disappeared And if I'm immortal for whatever reason, yeah, no, that'd a curse because the moment I got stuck under rubble or something would mean the days of eternal suffering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
