Ruins
At the edge of the forest, not terribly far from the institute itself, there lies the ruins of a what looks like a town. Walls stand here and there, destroyed by the elements or something more sinister. Roads are still clearly visible, and it looks as though this was once a small, civilized town. The roads are cracked and torn, the buildings in shambles and the inhabitants nowhere to be seen. Broken glass and slabs of concrete and wood cover what is left.
Remains of buildings appear to be everything from homes to stores, and debris is scattered about. There is even the remains of a small church, its steeple toppled. Broken furniture, appliances, tools and the like can be found within those few structures that remain with roofs and walls. Some are even salvageable. There is a large generator just outside the ruins, not currently running, but perhaps fixable.
It is truly a dead town, the only signs of life the remaining structures themselves and the occasional clean-picked skeleton. The town looks as though it was taken from 1920s America, quaint and old fashioned, even moreso than Doyleton.
General Store: Three and a half full walls still stand, and a sagging roof overhangs them, offering protection from the elements and perhaps worse. The windows are broken, the wooden floorboards dusty and dirty, the walls warped. A broken clock hangs precariously from one wall. Broken counters line the edges, supplies scattered here and there, a cash register turned on its side and hemorrhaging US bills. Most foodstuffs are spoiled and gone by now, but a few more hardy perishables have survived. Cans of meats and fruit, instant coffee, soup and similar items can be found amongst the rubble. Small tables and chairs are tipped over, as well as the display stands for various wares. The wares themselves seem to be long gone, but a determined individual may find batteries, tools and other small items of use amongst the debris.
Schoolhouse: Red paint faded, the schoolhouse has no roof, but all walls stand. There are only two rooms, a classroom and a restroom, invoking images of schools of olden days. The main school room is a mess, the only supplies to be found are common school items. The cubbyholes against the wall have been smashed, though nothing appears to be in them. The blackboard is cracked, an American flag lays on the ground, and the door to the restroom is off its hinges. Inside the restroom are two toilet stalls, a sink, and a decontamination station…
Church: The church offers shelter from the elements as well, its spire having taken the most damage in whatever occurred. Inside, one can find a multitude of skeletons on the pews and the floor. Some clinging to one another, some contorted in visages of pain. Blood stains the floor. Whatever happened to this town, it seems as though the citizens gathered within the church. There are candles on the podium of the church, and a Holy Bible. Beneath the podium is a collection plate with change and dollar bills. In the small room behind, there is a bed, a desk and a dresser, and a cardboard box with old clothes. Inside the desk and dresser are a handful of items - pens, paper, a flask of wine…
Written on the wall of the church, in what looks suspiciously like blood, is the message 'YOU WILL BOTH BURN'.
Doctor's Office: A true blessing in the unkind wilderness. Not much of the building remains, and the ruins are difficult to pick through, but beneath the crushed furniture and laboratory equipment medical supplies can be found. Bandages, antiseptic, painkillers, splints, antitoxins, antibiotics…
