All that you need to know is that if you're reading this, I'm dead.

It's been six months since the initial outbreak. The sickness started out as just that, a mild epidemic of what seemed to be the flu. People were told to just go on with their lives and take care of themselves. But then, soon after, things went terribly wrong.

People who had previously only had the sniffles were violently coughing, blood and sometimes even teeth or other unspeakable things coming up. Strange <a href="http://i.imgur.com/s9nmd.jpg">rashes</a> appeared on their bodies, and hair began falling out, followed by eyes glazing over with a milky white blindness. These infected didn't die, however; no, it was even worse. They got stronger with time, stronger, less human, and hungry. It was month two when the first incident of cannibalism occurred, the victim a nurse in a hospital that was treating a victim. After that, it hardly took long. Cases were occurring all throughout the world, and not just with humans. Animals, too, were susceptible, as were metahumans, aliens, vampires, gods, and any other beings that may or may not have made their existence known. The first infected superhero made quite a show, taking out at least a thousand people in a metropolitan area on the eastern seaboard. Those who weren't completely devoured became new carriers of the disease. This variety in the infected meant there was no sure fire way to put them down.

The world governments put on a strong front, but by the end of month four, nearly the entire world had fallen into absolute chaos and anarchy. People live off the land in ultimate survivalist style, as electricity, cell phone towers, and internet are worthless now. Major cities are avoided- they're hotbeds for. The prospect of escaping where you're stuck, or even the planet, is a no go. Even those power beings who could travel from planet to plant or dimensions find themselves grounded; the time stream, it seems, has taken matters into its own hands and doesn't want to risk contaminating other places and worlds.

It's now believed that at least 95% of the population is dead or infected. 4% are those who've managed to survive, and the remaining 1%? They're immune. Most people these days travel in pairs, for multiple reasons. It's faster to move around, there's always someone to watch your back...and the most important thing: there's a way to keep yourself safe from the infected when there's two of you. Unfortunately, it's taken this long to figure out, but now it's known throughout the survivors that an immunity can be gained by daily sexual intercourse with an immune person. Like the infection can be spread through bites and close contact, the immunity can be spread through sex. Of course, there's no possible way to know someone is immune for sure, unless you actually see them get bit and not turn, so most of these traveling "couples" are gambling and hoping that one of them is immune. But it's better to have someone than no one at all, and there's nothing to lose with playing the odds here.

So, if you find this journal, stay by the side of who you have, or find someone quickly. Stock up on weapons, anything you can find, and take care of business in any way you have to. I hope you fare better than we did.

[OOC: To celebrate the beginning of October, here's something spooky! I don't think anything needs explaining besides ZOMBIES. SEX. PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING IN PAIRS. Feel free to do anything- canon, AUs, whatever.
