Lock all doors and windows. Do not leave your home. Do not interact with any device with a screen or mirror. If you hear breathing that is not your own in an empty room, run away and hide. If you see another person who looks like you, run away and hide. If an Alternate attempts to approach or communicate with you, run away and hide.
Four friends, one from each county, were sitting in the living room of their summer cabin out in the woods just outside of Mandela. As soon as the emergency alert took place, they turned off the television and turned it to face the corner, before placing all of their electronic devices in the corner with it.
However, just as they were about to grab food from the kitchen and lock themselves in the master bedroom for the night, there was a flash of blue light emanating from the TV. The cabin began to shake, and the whole television scooted back from the wall and spun around wildly, before stopping with the screen pointed directly at them. A figure tumbled out of the TV and the blue light stopped. All was quiet.
The figure stood up. It appeared to be a young child, with strawberry blonde hair, wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, and brown sneakers. However, his skin was black, the color of a starless, moonless night sky. He had seven eyes in a circle around a central mouth on his face. This was an Alternate, unlike any the four had ever encountered before. He looked at them. "Are you four the WYBMAEPPS?" He asked. The four nodded, dumbfounded.
The Alternate spoke. "My name is Jaquarius October De'Lannegan-Murray-Marshall. I'm from fifty years in the future, and I need your help."
WYBMAEPPS
The WYBMAEPPS (Werksha, Yonder, Bythorne, and Mandela Alternate Encounter Prevention and Protection Society) is a group of four members who have encountered and dealt with Alternates before.
Characters:
THE TIME TRAVELER
Jaquarius October De'Lannegan-Murray-Marshall (AmbrosiaYoutube)
THE SKEPTIC (Yonder County)
The Skeptic is a 3%er, immune to the effects of M.A.D only because they do not believe the things that Alternates say.
THE PARANOID (Mandela County)
The Paranoid is a 3%er, and has had several encounters with Alternates before, resulting in a resistance to M.A.D at the price of their peace of mind.
THE INQUISITIVE (Bythorne County)
The Inquisitive is a 3%er, only resistant to M.A.D because of their desire to know more about the nature of reality. The Inquisitive has several friends who have encountered Alternates and is always eager to hear stories.
THE MEDIATOR (Werksha County)
The Mediator is a 3%er, resistant to M.A.D because of their own childhood friends. The Mediator has befriended Alternates since they were a child, and still has some Alternate friends to this day. The Mediator is also a Saboteur, because they do not agree with the Paranoid and Skeptic's goals of removing all Alternates from the planet.
