April's diary
На прошлых выходных я съездила на игру New Atlantis под Болонью. Я хорошо поиграла и офигенно съездила, и очень надеюсь еще выкроить время и написать более вдумчиво. А пока просто хочу запостить дневник моей героини (довольно куцый по сравнению с дневниками других персонажей). Он на английском ( простите за это и еще больше - за мой так себе английский), но текст все равно, скорее всего, может быть хоть как-то интересен только тем, кто был на игре. Но там еще есть картинки, которые я рисовала на игре.
На всякий случай супер краткая предыстория: постапокалипсис, в мире случился водный кризис, почти вся вода страшно заражена, почти все люди из-за этого вымерли. Есть только одна корпорация Lifedrop, чьи бутылки можно считать безопасными. Мир разрушился где-то за два месяца до начала игры, все эти два месяца наши персонажи как-то добирались до итальянского местечка Санта София, из окрестностей которого раньше вещало радио Нью Атлантис, вокруг которого успело выстроиться сообщество людей, пытающихся понять, что происходит, поддержать друг друга итд. Большая часть дневников была написана (или должна была быть написана) до игры про эти два месяца. Я, как водится, не нашла достаточно времени на подготовку и все сделала спустя рукава (о чем, как водится, жалею).
April's diary
Here will the new life begin.
I do not owe anyone anything!
No office.
No Dima.
No doing anything just because someone expects this from me.
Viva the new world!
____
Singing thirst!
(Remember: all these riot crowds on Tverskaya, someone somewhere starts to shoot, and me with guys continue play and sing. Piano on the top of the barricade, singing over the heads, and all these bright eyes. We will not stop! They will not stop! Everybody feel finally, that everything is changing.
And I felt so powerful singing for all them)
____
He left me. I cannot believe. Misha is gone, and Nastya, and Olenka. He probably looked for me at home and in the office, but I wasn’t there, of course. And the phone doesn’t work (in fact it is off for couple days now). Of cause he has to protect girls, but he could try to find me better. Well, I guess, it means I’m totally in the new life now.
____
I will call myself April. Why not? My Birthday is the only one thing I never wanted to change.
____
There is no Singing Thirst anymore. RIP the Long Guy. We will miss your percussion and bad jokes.
____
I am going away for some time now. I suppose it is about a week since I left Moscow, but I’m not quite sure. I just want to put here my memories about Moscow empty streets. At first I found even this as something fascinating - so unusual point of view. But finally it started scare me. Especially after I realized it is just dangerous to stay there. I never thought I will do something like this. But my life last week looks like this: in the night I hide all my water somewhere and almost all the day I’m going further to find a new shelter for the next night. I have just a little bottle with me in case I will meet someone, who might decide to raskulachivat me. No arguing, I give them all. I am too alone to struggle with such guys. Fortunately much more often I meet someone, with whom I want to share water myself.
_____
(Remember: someone’s singing around the corner. It is like to wake up finally. Andrey! We are laughing so much together)
_____
All these villages never were nice, but now they are just terrifying. So many dead bodies. I wanted to live in a new world, but I never wanted it to be like this.
______
I love cars! That’s so great to drive finally instead of walking. And then just drop one car and find another one.
______
(Remember: concert in Brest)
______
S. Sofia near Bologna. Radio Atlantis.
Yes, Andrey, I will go there. An I will remember you forever.
А ну-ка песню нам пропой, веселый ветер,
Веселый ветер, веселый ветер.
Моря и горы ты обшарил все на свете
Песенки слыхал!
______
Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate
______
Baba Masha.
Nadezhda Ivanovna.
Old Grisha.
______
Poppies! I am close.

The sound of shooting on the record. We’ve just heard his last words and the last breathe. How can anyone do something like that? And what for? I just cannot imagine it.
It is so beautiful here. Every morning I am going out of the house and just cannot believe in it, that all this is real and maybe even will - is? - my house. House? Could I find a house? Could I find a hose here, so far from everything I used to call home? It feels like this.
Yesterday in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere darkness we lay, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand. Stars above us, deadly stars of the dam below us, and sixty silently breathing people all around us. It was scary - and beautiful at the same time. We lay there, one big frightened family. And didn’t even know, that less than 24 hours before that our brother atlantean had been killed at the very that place.
______
People from Lifedrop found us.
They have a suggestion. We should work for them, because they need more “smart people like us” to work for them.
We all are in one room for the meeting.
- Proposition: stop steeling our water and go to Neapolis work for us. Basically the protocol is to kill you all. You have 45 minutes to decide, if someone wants to go there and join us.
Ross is talking. Maybe we can go there and pretend… Opposition form the inside.
Arguing…
Carlo and Vince go on with computer.
We are in system! Sebastian’s log in.
We can destroy the dam now. They are, lifedrops, standing around the house, waiting for our decision.
Pino is alive, he is calling for us. He is in Santa Sofia.
We can destroy the dam.
We can give our lifes.
But Sebastian and his men all gave their lifes for us and free water.
We have to do it as well.
Do we have to press the button now?
