somethingwithturquoise"Right, so!" said Summer, who was clearly going all out today, as the Danger Shop was set up to look like a vast, nearly-deserted waste land, with the exception of the scrap metal and junk settlement they found themselves in. "Welcome to an Apocalypse. Because, well, when you start getting into Multidimensionality, there's a million different ways...actually, no, an infinite amount of ways...the end of the world could go down, and this is just one possibility. This is actually based heavily on the one I dealt with when I was in high school, but I'm sure you may have your own Apocalypse story, in which case, I'd love to hear about it in a good solid compare and contrast.
"Anyway," she continued, "an Apocalypse usually comes with some good stuff and some bad stuff, depending on your perspective, and you can either adapt to the brutal, nihilistic culture that has taken over in the lack of civilization, you can find a way out, or you can attempt to improve society and climb back to the point where it was before everything went to shit. Or you can just recreate it from memory to create a little Apocalyptic playground for your class, because why the hell not? The best thing about this class is that you guys only have to deal with these situations for the duration of the period, and then when something inevitably happens like it in Fandom or back home, you've at least had some experience and frame of reference. Or, if this has already happened to you, but in a different way, you now see another version of how it could have shaken out.
"So basically, today's just sort of getting a feel for a deserted wastleland apocalypse type situation, and you've got some options, so just find what hits your buttons today and let me know if you have any questions, because, I will not lie...." She gazed wistfully off into the distance, where there were marauding vehicles tearing across the desert in a cloud of dust and shouts, drums and flaming guitar riffs, "this kinda used to be my jam."
"Also," she added, "I'd also like to add, if you're not digging the whole end-of-the-world-from-severe-nuclear-fall-out thing, there is a way to fake-get us out of this fake-world, and that's by locating an element called Isotope-322, so you have the option of searching for that, and bringing the world back to civilization through its power or whatever. That's not exactly what happened in this world when I was there, but whatever, I wanted to give you guys an option other than just, you know, giving in to the hopelessness and embracing this nice little rust-infused post-apoco-punk nightmare. You could also totally just nope out entirely, but, come on, guys, where's the education and self-improvement in that?"
[[ CW on most links for this class for blatantly Heavy Metal-esque cartoon apocolyptic grossness, for lack of a better way to describe it? which is probably definitely not everyone's jam. ]]
