break out the candles and board games...

[booming]

the BLACKOUT meme having the power go out can be anything from an inconvenience to a disaster. you can explore that spectrum here. is it cozy? is it deadly? is your character most concerned about the wifi being down? reasons. 1. natural. storms or earthquakes or your neighbor's kid driving into the power pole. 2. unnatural. aliens have invaded, monsters have overrun, or the avengers have knocked out the power grid again. 3. setting. in post-apocolyptic conditions or off the grid setups, questionable utilities are a given. 4. you. somehow you have caused this mess. fix it or pass the blame. what to do. 1. wait it out. light up a candle and hunker down. 2. fix it. for those who invested in the handiness skill: fuel up a generator, flip a breaker, replace a fuse. 3. leave. there's a reason the power is out, and maybe that reason has you on the move. 4. this is my life now. enjoy the simple lifestyle, because the power's gone for good. instructions: top level with your character, canon, and any desired preferences. tag around. be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
