Libby

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

“Fuck,” she muttered, rummaging through the papers on the table. “Where the hell is the schedule?”

         Elizabeth Abbott • Thirty • Female • Lookout/Scout

Libby used to be bold and lively, often eager to try new things and throw herself into new situations. However she developed a lot more grit over the past year, her eyes far colder than they ever used to be. Yet despite her somewhat gruff attitude, she typically means well. Patience is something she has in abundance, as solitude became a part of her core during her time alone.  She might appear to be broody or quite to the newcomers, but most at the camp know she has a brusque attitude and a razor sharp tongue  that she will use if its needed. While she feels like part of a team in the camp, she rarely will ask for help. The girl refuses to rely on others.

Born in Chicago and raised in Oslo, the Abbott’s lived the classic expat. Libby was just a toddler when her family moved to the other side of the ocean.  She grew up speaking English at home and Norwegian in school, her accent falling somewhere between the two countries.

She was raised Catholic with the mindset that she was capable of doing whatever she wanted to do.  Libby was lucky, she had a very happy childhood.

The scholarship to Oxford was an exciting surprise. Environmental engineering  was her future. She went home for winter and summer break but built a life for herself in England  She fell in love with her major during her time at school, and when she was offered a job at a firm focused on sustainable energy, there was no question that she would stay in the United Kingdom.

Her father passed when she was in her second year of college. It broke Libby’s heart.

It was because of her background she realized something terrible was brewing in the Earth’s atmosphere. The ice age talks put all of her coworkers on edge. Libby was lucky she paid attention to the warnings. She flew home to Oslo just days before the Big Freeze hit. Making it back to her mother and family home with enough time to do some basic preparation. Her mother thought she was overacting until it hit.

Libby knew it was too dangerous to remain in Oslo, it was far too close to the water. The rivers were beginning to flood when she packed her mother and gear into their jeep; they headed inland. Libby had hoped to make it farther south, away from the ocean, but the abandoned cars  scattered on the roads prevented them from going far. Once they ran out of gas they had to get out and walk, and it was only by the grace of god they made it to a small town near Jotunheimen National Park before the sun had gone down. The town seemed abandoned; the women had no idea if it had been evacuated or if people had left hoping to find government shelter. They set up in the library, sealing themselves inside a room and burning books for warmth. That’s where they were when the ice age claimed the continent.

Her mother died just a month after they found the town. The woman was too old to push through the harsh conditions. Libby into the snow until she hit ice to make a grave, her hands bleeding from the effort. The girl removed her coat before burying her; it was a resource that couldn’t be wasted.

Libby survived by scavenging through the few buildings in the area, rationing whatever she managed to find and locking herself in the library at night.

She had been living in the alone in the town for eight months when the scouting team broke into the building while she was sleeping. The girl wasn’t sure what made her happier; the sight of another human being or the fact that she was finally going to leave the home that had become a prison for her. When they told her about the camp, she didn’t hesitate to pack her bag with the few belongings she had and slam the door on her way out. A quick silent goodbye was given to her mother’s grave, but she didn’t let herself stop for long. Libby had spent the past several months alone with the dead, it was time to move on to the living.

It’s really nice to be in something that you really love and want to share with people. And then, for it to actually get shown and for people to be able to see it is awesome. It’s really exciting.
