Can we try and get a master post going? ALL ACTIVE KILLJOYS DROP YOUR NAME AND YOUR MAIN ZONE
Hell Cat : Zone 5
Rev C (Revolutionary Cannonade) : Zone 5
red raven!! zone six :)
Môuse : Raised in Zone 4 but does ‘taxi service’ between the ghost stations which means she currently ‘lives’ in all of them depending on the day of the week
what kinda weapons do you think are actually used by zonerunners/killjoys apart from ray gun? like are there peole roamin the zones armed with crossbows?
My killjoy MôUSE carrys a maglight in addition to her raygun. It was in fact the first weapon she ever used to take down a drac before she got her gun.
(sorry if this already sent before, my wifi's totally borked and it said my ip was invalid x__x ) BUT what are your thoughts on lammergeiers / bearded vultures as a Killjoy Thing™? they basically paint themselves red which is metal as hell!
i love that idea! i’d actually never heard of them before and had to look it up, but that’s definitely ones of those to add to the “killjoy animal vibes”. i definitely feel like certain animals have connections to either the phoenix witch or the killjoys as a whole (ex. coyotes, crows, lizards) and that’s fun addition to the list! do they live in the desert?
(this is what came up when i googled them. has a cute little face, right?)
They're actually European, Asian and African in habitat range + they live in the mountains but I mean... that might almost make them mythical to a desert zone runner. Like if there’s phoenix witch why couldn’t her attendants be these scavangers that live up high and paint themselves as brightly as possible.
Mod: I forgot to post this, but a while ago I thought a good term for city joys could be “fireflies”.
Like they light the path, you don’t see them until it’s important to, they can hide well, they seem small until they all flash…
Also, before I forget – living fireflies are extinct in the city. They’re more an idea / symbol than a tangible thing.
My updated killjoy pants.
3 pairs of pants Frankenstein-ed together to make a pair of pants for the end of the world.
so I’m dyin my hair, right?
and it’s go me thinkin about killjoys and colorful hair and the inevitability of getting hair dye on everything (i have it all over my hands, arms, and face - and I used gloves!) and i just had the thought of like, how color is so important to killjoys to the point that they like, self-assign themselves a specific color that sorta becomes their identity right?
so like, what if hair-dying is low key a super big deal? of all the illegal contraband smuggled out of the city and/or produced in other locations totals into a ridiculous amount of hair dye and makeup and paint and glitter (god I love how simultaneously vain and self-negligent killjoys are.“Haven’t had a bath in three weeks, but i’ve got glitter so it’s okay”) and that like, often killjoys will do these things for themselves by themselves (( “I’m dying my hair” is a legitimate excuse in most circles to get out of just about anything, just as a little ritual of self-identification and affirmation and validation)) but then also
killjoys dying each others hair being a big fuckin deal, like the equivalent of biblical feet washing - it’s a gesture of respect and humility at once, demonstrating a close bond and immense trust in the person you ask to do it for you, and offering to dye another ‘joys hair could be made as an apology if you’ve committed a high offense against them and if you’ve had the honor to dye another joy’s hair you bear that color on your hands proudly until it finally fades (washing it off is a HUGE faux pas) and
just hair color as a form of expression of self and also as an expression of community in the desert is very important to me okay??
Styles too!
I actually have a story “One Small Step” based on this same kind of premise.
It’s a sign of grief (however long one can spare for such a thing) to not style or dye one’s hair after a fellow ‘joy is dusted.
Some might skip re-dying their hair if the dusted comrade was the last one to do it for them.
Yell-o, you rock and rollers. This is Gust, the wind you’d more likely not expect but this time, is like to announce my presence.
To all the killjoys out there, holler (reblog) at this direction to get a short but sweet broadcast in your inbox. Could be useful, could be trash. It’s up to you to take the chance.
Good luck out there, kitty cats.
We’ll Carry On
MôUSE sat on the roof of her car watching the moon overhead a beer in one hand her mask pushed up and completely away from her face for once. The desert around her was completely silent not a stirring of wind or animal as if all the universe was holding its breath for what was to come.
It started with a G note.
The music played out over the desert, a breeze picking up to carry it far over the flatland, quiet but growing, not quite loud enough to cover the sounds of hundreds, thousands, of feet marching through the zones.
MôUSE never looked away from the moon, it would hardly matter if she did, there was nothing to see as the army paraded through. She could picture it though, a rainbow of people, emotions and lifestyles all following four men whose music called to them, that called out to more even now.
Singing along she raised her beer in salute.
Kobra Kid and Fun Ghoul are the kind of friends who will be in the middle of a firefight and be fighting over something like if the sky is blue while trying to cover the other’s ass.
hi ok so i haven’t posted anything new in a long time bc im an asshole but anyway this post originally was supposed to be about them fighting over who would bottom not over the sky being blue and i feel like that’s important
I feel any shots that got to close would earn insults to the shooter along the lines of “Excuse me we are talking here!” or “YOu can’t shoot that! I’m gonna pound it!” (”No you’re not!”)
Kobra: Korse is a little bitch.
Korse: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Exterminator Program, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on the rebels, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire BLI armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the airwaves? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Zones and your frequency is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Better Living Industries armory and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Kobra: ...Korse is an over educated little bitch

Killjoys,
MAKE SOME NOISE
Waking up
Out in the zones the temperature climbed faster than the sun, meaning the world was like an oven before dawn even broke.
From the front seat of her Chevelle MôUSE groaned, wordlessly protesting the coming of morning even as she rolled onto her back and reached for the seat’s reclining lever. Once upright it takes her another moment and a jaw cracking yawn before she flipped her mask down from her eyes to tie over the lower half of her face properly.
Then and only then does she open her eyes.
It’s dark of course but she can already make out the lightening horizon.
Another day of tearing through the zones helping any other denizens that might need a ride, she had a route that she followed as faithfully as any bus ever had and did he best to stick to it.
MôUSE didn’t have a crew of her own anymore. She chose to forget what happened, why Starkiller and Career Suicide where no longer around. She had plush stand ins now, someone to talk to buckled into the passenger's seat.
All she needed now was some tunes and the roar of an engine,
She turned the key to get both.

Danger Days Slang/Words/Terms/etc.
I’ve noticed that there are a lot of interpretations of different DD words, and very few official definitions. So I’ve decided to make a list of what I think everything means. These are all my own interpretations of words/slang, so don’t get mad if it doesn’t agree with what you think. There are a few things in here that I came up with myself.
People/Groups
Killjoy - A member of ‘the killjoys’, a disorganized network of gangs fighting against BLi from the zones. All killjoys have strange names which they go by. Each gang has its own name as well, the most well known being the Fabulous Four.
Neutral - A non-killjoy resident of the zones.
BL/ind - Better Living Industries, a company that has tyrannical control over the people. Also referred to as ‘BLi’.
Draculoid - A member of BLi’s SCARECROW unit. Devoid of all emotion, always seen wearing terrifying masks. Act as the city’s police, and BLi’s military. Often shortened to ‘drac’.
Exterminator - Leaders of BLi’s SCARECROW unit. Control the draculoids. Act as investigators, spies, and executioners.
SCARECROW - BLi’s police/military unit. Consists of security guards, technological security, draculoids, exterminators.
BCU- Battery City Underground. Killjoy-like rebels who work inside of the city, often staking out in ‘underground’ places. Usually act as smugglers of both people and supplies, as well as saboteurs. Led by three unknown men.
Places
Battery City - The city controlled by BLi. Only known major civilization left. Devoid of much color, emotion, and freedom. Also called ‘Bat City’ and ‘the city’.
Zones - The desert surrounding Battery City, consisting of six areas determined by geographical terrain. There were once more, but were destroyed in bombings by BLi. Mainly where the neutrals and killjoys live, but does contain scattered BLi factories and warehouses.
Death Valley - The areas beyond Zone Six. Used to contain farming communities, until the land was destroyed in bombings by BLi.
Route Guano - The main road through the zones. A paved, multi-lane road that stretches from Zone One to abandoned factories in Zone Six. Also called the ‘Getaway Mile’.
Events
Helium Wars - War in the 1970s fought over the resource of helium. A second war was fought in the late 80s/early 90s between BLi and other civilizations around the world, which all then disappeared.
Analog War - A series of large scale fights between the killjoys and BLi during the 90s, beginning towards the end of the second Helium War.
Fires of 2012 - A series of large fires in 2012 which were lit by BLi to sabotage the killjoys, but spiraled out of control and burned several neutral establishments and BLi factories and warehouses. BLi claims to not have started them, but to have put them out.
Pig Bomb - A bomb dropped in Zone Seven by BLi in 2017, destroying the single farming community there and metaphorically wiping Zone Seven off of the map.
Things
Carbons - Form of currency. Consist of flexible plastic bills and hard plastic coins.

Dreamland- Disneyland*. Universal Studios. A place for Killjoys to take any kids they find and can not care for but don’t want falling into BLInd hands.
