O_O<br />Thank you, :) I like that name, it's like elegant and not so common. <br />Gerard had a bad day today, since he couldn't save his patient, and he couldn't save Iliana from being kidnapped. He doesn't feel guilty really because he knows it's not his fault the chemical attack killed the patient, and also not his fault bad people decided to kidnap his wife. But he does feel sad and a little powerless to stop the things that are happening around him.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-5405471081205755912014-08-10T14:25:03.472-07:002014-08-10T14:25:03.472-07:00It's time for them to team up and find Iliana....It's time for them to team up and find Iliana....that's such a pretty name :) I can only imagine how depressing.it must feel to know that people are dying at work and your wife is missing and got raped...He must feel super guilty.littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-51214838633587087062014-06-04T11:04:26.546-07:002014-06-04T11:04:26.546-07:00LOL, don't worry at all, I enjoyed the questio...LOL, don't worry at all, I enjoyed the question.

It's clearly captured my interest. The story seems really realistic so you've handled it really well :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-28770578157165236722014-05-31T12:26:29.514-07:002014-05-31T12:26:29.514-07:00Asking me loaded questions, bookabet? LOLL. Just k...Asking me loaded questions, bookabet? LOLL. Just kidding, I like your question a lot. It's getting me to think about different aspects of this story. I knew it was going to be complicated and huge when I started it, and that there are some things that might not seem to be covered in grave detail, but I did want to create mystery as far as who actually caused the attacks to happen.<br /><br />To answer you, yes, I would think that when a major country like the US has an apocalyptic type situation happen to it, that it would adversely effect the rest of the countries it trades and has dealings with. I started the story a couple nights after the apocalypse happened, like 2 or 3 nights, so things are starting to crumble. At the epicenter, things fall apart faster, the rest of the world isn't feeling the major effects of it yet, as the ripples, so to speak, haven't gotten there. For now, the currency is still somewhat stable, the economy of the US has declined a lot because of looters and businesses not being able to provide goods and services. Some of the other countries who were smart and backed their currency with precious metals like gold, are the ones who are able to bounce back easier.<br /><br />I also wanted this story to focus more on the individual characters' lives and how they are being affected by everything, so perhaps further down the road, a character might deal with the economic meltdown of things in more detail. I don't know if you saw the rules for the apocalypse challenge, but there are 18 restrictions that need to be lifted, which are in game things that can't happen because the society is in a state of chaos. I'm trying to cover those things as far as what's breaking down, bit by bit, through the characters' lives. Different characters will deal with different restrictions, some of them will have more restrictions than others, as the story goes on, and as things are lifted. There's a page on this blog called "Law of the Land" up at the top, and it has some detail about the structure of the society in the story. I hope that helps answer your question, XD. Thank you again for asking it! :)<br /><br />Also, forgive me as I try to deal with these various fictional political/economical things. I'm not an expert on that stuff by any means, LOL, although this story is helping me learn a little bit more about how complicated the fabric of societies really are. :PLateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-61338770975652742302014-05-30T05:20:10.830-07:002014-05-30T05:20:10.830-07:00With the US being a superpower and major trade rou...With the US being a superpower and major trade route, I assume that, to a certain extent, the other countries are suffering from an economic meltdown as well?

In this world, they need all the allies and friends they can get. Besides, having a trained police officer on side can h=only help in the hunt for Iliana. <br /><br />I have one question though. Has the chemical attack affected the entire world? I'm just wondering because of the whole getting supplies from other countries. I assume the attack was localised and so other countries aren't as close to the epicentre so aren't as affected?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-54030023447784996812014-03-10T12:20:13.873-07:002014-03-10T12:20:13.873-07:00Haha, you found another shred of hope!

Francis' personality is good for Gerard because his natural instinct to want to solve things is going to drive him to help Gerard as much as he can.<br /><br />Haha, yes, I had to give Gerard his doctor uniform. This new world I downloaded, didn't come with a rabbit hole hospital... wierdly, LOL, so my original plan to have Gerard wear the Level 8 doctor uniform the game gives wasn't going to work.

There are characters I haven't introduced yet, and that's because they're sort of minor, one of which is the person behind this whole sex slave enterprise. The chapter with her before was to just show a day in the life of a hooker who happened to see a little boy get dumped at the orphanage next door. She also has no idea if her husband is dead or alive. When she was taken away that night she had a bag over her head. There are plenty of other dangers in society at the moment, and at least at the brothel, she has a roof over her head and some food. Also, if she just ran away, I wouldn't have a story line for the cop and the doctor. ROFL. It's okay that you don't like her, you don't have to. :)LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-81502175901372248752014-01-12T06:41:59.370-08:002014-01-12T06:41:59.370-08:00I feel bad for him, I have a clarifying question. ...I feel bad for him, I have a clarifying question.

The military fired them all. :( They wanted to be in charge of law enforcement because they thought the police were not as good as they are and that they'd get in their way... >:[ Power hungry control freaks they are. <-- *Yoda voice*<br /><br />T_T That poor patient. Doctor is more saddened by "what" the patient died of than the fact that he died. The patient only had symptoms tied to the chemical attack, the man would have been perfectly healthy if the world had been normal. You're right, Doctor is used to patients dying on him. LOL, his wife showing up there would suck, but I had no plans to do that... as of now... >:D Hahaha, just kidding... maybe. *runs away*<br /><br />LOL. I loved taking pictures of the cop and the doctor together, I couldn't stop drooling. As you probably could have deduced, the last part of the chapter took longer to proof because I kept staring at their beautiful faces and wiping off my keyboard. The only thing that would have been more difficult was if they were both in their uniforms at the same time. *faints for an undetermined period of time* <br /><br />*24 hours later, gets up* Yeah, those storms, are just yikes. It's like Heysoos smiting people from the sky... one smack and you're a goner. o.O<br /><br />Haha, Francis is a fun character to write, I'm so happy you liked him from the beginning. He's all tough and sexy and angry. *faints, but for only a few seconds this time* LOL, Gerard found exactly what he was looking for... a police officer. Eeee! Gerard thanks you for not thinking less of him because of his outburst. XD Francis' cop instinct is able to come to the surface now, so he'll be happier because he can feel like he's being useful again by helping Gerard. They both need a friend, Gerard needed someone to help him find Iliana, and Francis needed someone to vent to. XD It's just... it's just the start of a beautiful, too hot, relationship.

Hahahha. They both needed a friend, and now Gerard has the very thing he was looking for... a police officer. XD Francis was just mad all the time, so now that he has a friend he can vent to, he'll feel a little better. Francis was touched by Gerard's story of how Iliana went missing, and of course, his cop instinct is to help him find her. They've got a long journey ahead of them, but they'll figure it out.<br /><br />I know, right? The world was just perfect.

They were both in need of a friend, Gerard a little more in need than Francis, but Francis was just angry all the time, so now that he has someone to vent to, he'll feel better. Ever since the martial law, they can't really go anywhere but work and home, so for now, they haven't been able to do much exploring, but they'll figure something out eventually.<br /><br />Thanks so much for reading and commenting!LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029542002300596703.post-84474481375617892872014-01-03T13:23:21.251-08:002014-01-03T13:23:21.251-08:00I was hoping these two would find each other and t...I was hoping these two would find each other and team up.<br /><br />Boy, those storms must be really dangerous if they feel the need to run inside quickly like that!

Dr. lost someone T_T I guess it's bound to happen and he should be used to it, but given the circumstances of what's been going on, I could see him being more bothered by these deaths..

LOLL<br /><br />*dies from the Officer and Doctor bumping into one another*<br />Aww, he saved him from the storm. I'm so glad they found each other! <br />Francis seems like such a great guy, I've loved him since he first appeared. I don't blame Gerard for wanting to get some things off his chest, and I feel like Francis is the best person to listen right now. A cop and a doctor teaming up? Seems hot, and even very necessary.
