Hypsters of the Apocalypse – A Superhero Hype Interactive Adventure

Chapter 1 – The Gathering

The blank page on the computer screen is the elephant in the room for adhokk7. He stares blankly at the screen, trying to find the perfect words to describe what is still racing through his mind. As an aspiring writer, adhokk7 had dreams. Dreams he would write the next great novel of this time. Dreams studios would be beating down his door and pay him a fortune for the movie rights. Dreams he could prove all the naysayers wrong. Several hours ago, he looked at what he saw himself becoming and what he was. With all these lofty goals, and where have they led adhokk7? Instead of writing the next great novel, he was writing cheesy erotic novels, under the pseudonym Skully Bachman. Suffice to say, life had not turned out how he had hoped. Frustrated with his so-called life, adhokk7 decided to live up to his potential. Upon making this decision, adhokk7 was hit by a vision. This was not the first vision he had this week. Just like his previous visions, adhokk7 saw himself with two other individuals, a woman and a male, and they were being led to something. Suddenly, his mind began to race, and he saw visions of torture, despair, and death. Adhokk7 has been staring at his computer, trying to figure out what the visions mean. One thing was evident: something is coming, and it might end the world as we know it. Adhokk7 realizes there is no way to explain what he has seen as he leans back, and drifts off to sleep in his chair.

He began to dream about being at a book signing. The line stretched all the way down the street, and the people loved him. Suddenly, his surroundings began to become black. He jumped out of his chair and raced for the door. It too became black. Adhokk7 now found himself in a dark void.

Opening his apartment door, KenshinAtrain was happy to get home. He’s been happy to get home everyday since he started that job at Applebee’s. He throws down his keys on a nearby table, throws off his shoes, and walks to the center of the room, promptly plopping down on his couch. All the while, he examines how a top of his class graduate from culinary school could be so down on his luck. This has become a ritual by now. KenshinAtrain tries to gear himself back to positive thinking, but this has become very hard by this point. As he lies on the couch, twisted like a pretzel, the hours of standing begin to wear on him. He begins to feel the burn of his calves, the aching of his arms, and the weight of the world on his eyelids. Tomorrow was going to be the same. KenshinAtrain realizes this. But that is tomorrow. Now is the time for rest. Much needed rest.

KenshinAtrain dreamed it was an average day at work. Only, he had a smile. Waiters rudely asked for their dishes, orders were sent back, and worked piled on him. But he didn’t care. Because in this dream, he knew it was his last day. From here on out, he was his own man. He looked down at his work station, and noticed it had become black. He then noticed this darkness was spreading. He stepped back, and began to run out of the kitchen. As he reaches out for the door, it too is consumed by the darkness. He looks around, and sees nothing. Just darkness.

Placing her head in her hands, Spider-Man Luvr28 tries to drown out the obnoxiously loud guitar music being played in the next room by her roommate. She has a mid-term tomorrow in her algebra class tomorrow. She was totally unprepared, and she knew it. She learned to listen to her instincts long ago, and her instincts were telling her she was screwed. A lot of preparation was needed. Looking at her notes, which were sloppy and seemed to have no rhyme or reason behind their organization, was hard enough with full concentration. Adding super loud music to the equation made it near impossible. She got up and knocked on the roommate’s door. Of course, the knocking was drowned out by foreign noise. She next tried opening the door. Locked. Somehow, this didn’t surprise her. Her head began to pound. As the minutes passed by, with no further studying done, stress continued to pile on in Spider-Man Luvr28’s mind. All this stress began to make her tired. She thought that maybe lying down would cure her headache. As she lied down on her bed, the noise of the music began to fade away. All her problems seemed to go away, as she drifted off to sleep.

Spider-Man Luvr28 now found herself where she wanted to be: in her nice, big house. She had plenty of money after making her fortune. And the best part was, she was stress free. She had the TV on in the background, but was just relaxing. Not a care in the world. Looking up at the TV screen, she noticed something black. At first she thought her TV was broken, but as she headed toward the TV, she noticed it was spreading. The entire room was now becoming black. She was not nervous, however. She stood still, until the darkness had consumed all around her.

Adhokk7 was walking in circles.

“Hello” he called out frantically.

“Over here” a voice called out in the distance ahead of him. Adhokk7 followed the source of the voice, not knowing if he was getting any closer. He suddenly bumped into a man he had never seen before. It was KenshinAtrain.

“Who are you? Why have you brought me here?” asked adhokk7 angrily.

“I should ask you the same question” replied KenshinAtrain.

“Look, I don’t have time to mess around, pal.”

“Who’re you calling pal, pal?”

“Guys, stop” called out a woman’s voice. Both men turned around to see Spider-Man Luvr28 now in their presence.

“You brought us here?” asked adhokk7.

“No, I did” called out a voice behind adhokk7. The voice was closer to them.
The three of them stared at a shadowy figure.

What is the shadowy figure?
1-Intergalactic traveler
2-Time traveler
3-Spirit

YOU CHOOSE how the story continues in Chapter 2 - The Shadowy Figure!!!
