"during times of plague, there will always be those who can't rest until they've become infected"
Welcome to You're Mad!
Or, more importantly, welcome to rabies-ravaged Prague in the not-too-distant future.
We're the latest and greatest in the unique roleplaying environment. If you've ever had that one strange, eccentric, totally unique character that simply didn't fit in properly anywhere else, then this is the place for you.
Why? Because we're all a little mad here. In... er... both contexts of the word, if you catch my drift.
LOCATION: prague
DATE: 2023
WEATHER: oh, c'mon. who cares these days? it's all the same.
CHARACTER OF THE MOMENT
this could be your face!

PEOPLE YOU LOVE WILL DIE. NOTHING YOU TREASURE WILL LAST
FOREVER. AND YOU NEED TO ACCEPT AND EMBRACE THAT FACT.
you're MAD!
Scooter Depaul (Nighttimer, Convenience Store Clerk): As a matter of fact, I did not spit on that guy,
okay? Jesus H., I'm a bitch sometimes, but I'm not that nuts. I was at home that day, yeah... but I wasn't
even near a window. Adam Romero (Daytimer, Accountant): All I know is, I heard rumors that the Nighttimers are punishing
us, I guess. Spreading it around like a, I don't know, like a biological ... epidemic weapon. It's crazy. Hugh L. Nielson (Daytimer, Lawyer): I'm no moron. But I've made mistakes. All I did was look up at
a window and BAM!, I'm infected with rabies. These people hocking big ones out of their windows while
we're trying to live our lives-- it's ludicrous. I can't even buy groceries from stores that hire Nighttimers. Do
you want to buy some apples a Drooler has licked and put back? Didn't think so. Adam Romero (Daytimer, Lawyer): Not too long after that rumor had started, our firm fired-- well, "laid
off"-- a whole load of Nighttimers. Call me crazy, but I don't think prejudice is the answer, here. This is how we control the population-- we make two separate "worlds." There's daytime. And, then, obviously, there's nighttime. Let me tell ya, this idea was a really good one for a really long time, but things change, I guess, and now we don't have the same old problems but we've got some new ones, instead. We don't have to sit for hours in traffic anymore, and, hell, I don't hardly have to wait in line at the DMV these days. Fast food really is fast, and there's always sitting room on the subway.
But now we've got this whole "worldwide rabies epidemic" thing to deal with, and that's really starting to cramp everyone's style. I think it must have started when all the "rebels" began switching from daytime to nighttime. Daytimer parents were now watching their sweetheart babies turn into goth-looking, vampire-loving, acid-popping Nighttimers, and there wasn't anything they could even do about it. Talk about a kick in the teeth. The Nighttimers became a subculture all their own with a certain set of values and laws, and that appealed to the people that just felt like they couldn't fit in with daytime society. Makes sense, right?
But they say the entire rabies thing started with one guy. Just one guy. It's hard to believe, especially knowing what we know now. But, regardless, the outbreak was definitely more prominent in the nighttime community, and as a result, they ended up oppressed. Twenty-four-hour stores were closing at eight, liquor stores and movie theaters were shutting down as soon as the first curfew warning came. And the cops were getting stricter and stricter about being inside within the ten-minute limit, which is a hassle for anyone, really.
Can you blame them? The Nighttimers for railing against us? We created two separate worlds to coexist peacefully, but now we're just ruining it. Like the Americans did with the Africans. And the Germans did with the Jewish. So, the Nighttimers are fighting back by infecting us. If I wasn't so worried about it, I'd probably laugh at the clever irony of the situation. I almost wonder if this is how God feels-- watching all the happenings of Heaven, Earth, and Hell at once. Especially since the shit is really about to hit the fan.
I feel bad for them. I really do. My heart goes out and all that, but if you think I'm going to go out and drink from a water fountain or stand underneath any Nighttimer windows, well... you're mad.Welcome to Prague, 2023. In the big cities around the world, citizenship is once
again segregated. But this time, it's not about race or religion: it's about
time. Heavily populated metropolises are divided by day and night-- however,
where you stand is entirely up to you. But equality has ruptured into discrimi-
nation rapidly over the past decade. When a rabies epidemic unexpectedly
hit the large cities of the world, it was the "darker" subculture that was blamed.
Now, radicals from both ends are sabotaging one another, using the disease
to make statements, to change lives, and, sometimes, to kill. Welcome to Prague.
But watch who you kiss. Any given peck could be the last one you ever experience.
