I don’t know how this app works but I downloaded it because a lot of my main social media platforms are shutting down due to the event happening outside.
I’m Sam. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on.
There’s a woman in my wall now. There’s screaming outside. It’s actually wild I feel like I’m losing my mind.
If anyone has any information about what’s going on, please send me an ask or comment. I can’t send texts anymore but I can access the internet. Is this the same for anyone else?
OOC UNDER CUT
This Look Outside RP blog is run by @thedeadsignalhotline. This blog also won’t follow the canon plot of Look Outside but will have the same characters and settings.
Rules:
Canon and non-canon characters are allowed to interact. If you want Sam to refer to you, please end the ask with the name or any RP information.
Inappropriate content such as flirting is allowed. Nothing graphic, but light teasing is okay. Sam has a lot of stalkers, he’ll be fine :).
I won’t roleplay in DMs, I’ll answer out of character.
Expect canon-typical violence.
No magic anons! This RP is ARG style.
Sybil doesn’t look outside in 15 days like the original. Therefore, the apocalypse goes on for longer.

Sorry, I don’t like venting over the internet, but I don’t want to talk about this with my friends.
I don’t know if this is ever going to end. I don’t know.
I’ve been taking care of the kids and stuff. It just all feels hopeless. I was talking with Sybil about it earlier, telling her that things will get better, but it’s a big fat fucking lie.
It just feels like humanity can’t bounce back from something this big. Every time I log onto this app, there are dozens of posts of people talking about how they’re running out of food, how their mother turned and went insane, or how their lives are being threatened.
It feels like bailing water out of a sinking ship.
I want to stay strong for the kids, for Sybil, but when I look outside (not literally, don’t worry), when I think about what’s out there, it’s like staring into an endless hole. I keep telling myself to just focus on today: get through the next meal, the next bedtime, the next morning.
But for what? What are we waiting for? The end of the world? Or did the world already end and we’re what remains?
I don’t even know why I’m posting this, haha. Maybe because it’s easier to type into a void than say it out loud. I’m probably going to delete this later
Hey, European here, just checking in. It's a mess over here, too... Real bad. By some miracle, our router is still working, but I dunno how long that'll last.
I didn't look outside, but forgot to close my blinds before going to sleep the night before, and... I'll spare you the details.
Anyway, enough about me. You doing okay? Eating enough? I'd board up the windows just in case, and balcony if you have one. Turn the lights and tap off before you leave. The water in our building stopped running because someone left their sink running and never came back...
Good luck. Take care out there, yeah?

Take care of yourself, squid person. I’m shocked our electricity is still running in our building, the amount of structural damage this building sustained is unbelievable.
I’m planning on boarding up my windows soon, but my plant seems to like some of the light.
Hope you’re going to be okay, I hope this blows over soon
how about a lighter question for these trying times? what's your favorite song/album Sam?
I usually like indie rock, but I’ve been listening to a lot of Poe’s songs. “Terrible Thought” by Poe one of my favorites.
Here’s a list of other songs I like :)
“If I Were a Weapon” by Suzanne Vega, “Sleepwalk” by Forrest Day, “Everything Is Ending” by the birds and the bee. I could make a playlist of more songs I like, if you guys are curious, haha!
Hey, have you seen my roommate? He left for work at Marconi's pizza a hour or two before the event happened. He hasn't come back to the apartment since.
We have had a guy come up to us multiple times delivering pizza.
He might be who you’re looking for but I’m not sure. He seems to not remember how he reached my door each time, and can’t talk about anything else other than the job. You might catch him in the hallways if you’re looking for him. Good luck.
I don't knowif you'll beleve me but nt all of the people thst looked out there loose their minds i'm unfortunatuly speakinf from experience. It fuckng hurts but I'm trying to get help. If theres any help lefft
I cant speak thet well anymore but i can type i guess. Even thas a little hard I'm not sure what t do

(OOC, yo!!! This is one of my first Look Outside OCs I've made, and thought it'd be cool since your pinned said non-canon characters are cool to interact! Goes by he/him btw :] I know there's a character named Alex already but shhh..... /silly)
I’m sorry you’re going through this.
I’ve heard so much from how painful mutation is and how it changes a person. Just know you’re not alone and you’re going to get through this :) if you need some supplies or something, my apartment is room 33.
you are such a kind soul it genuinely makes me sad
Thank you? I don’t feel particularly good or kind, I just think everyone needs someone, especially at times like these. It’s horrible to be lonely during an apocalypse
so ey, ouve been sayig u got rommates righ? ho's there, sorry for typos my habe looked out. hads r werd now
Hope all is well for you, your texting style seems concerning, so stay safe and take care of yourself.
Right now, we’ve got Leigh, Joel, and Ratsby. We all rotate chores, since this many people means more mess in the apartment. It’s not bad having roommates, but I definitely have more noise going on in my apartment than I did previously, haha.
Lyle? Yeah, we worked together I think, he lives below me. He lended me photo paper in return for a picture. I think he just likes taking photos of people.
He seems alright. I don’t really have any strong opinions on him. I worked at that convenience store for only like 3 months, haha. I just know that guy has anxiety so I helped him when I could.
make sure your now missing arm doesn't get infectedd make sure to change the bandages and stuff okay? Okay
Thank you :) I’m changing it regularly. Joel is helping me with bandage changes. A nurse swings by every so often to check on the stump too. Despite everything, I’m feeling pretty alright
Hey! You're that Sam guy from floor three, yeah? Oh my god it's so good to know someone else is still kicking around. I just wanted to know if you have any advice on fighting off these...things! Yeah....
Yknow, Urges, People breaking in. The usual yeah! Yeah...
Urges? If the urges are bad, I suggest you keep fighting them.
Also, the more people you have on your team the easier it is to defend yourself and other people. I’m not particularly skilled at fighting myself but some of my team cover my weak points :) Keep your health high so that if you get into any encounters you’re less likely to pass out. And stockpile first aid!
This vending machine turned to look at us when we weren’t looking. I swear to fucking god it did. We tried interacting with it but it turned out to be a normal vending machine. What the fuck.
This shouldn’t phase me anymore but I nearly jumped out of my skin.
Pretty sure that rats your baby now. It’s like a fucked up cat distribution system if you know what that is.
He definitely is. He’s intelligent too, for a baby. He keeps trying to mimic what I’m doing, it’s really cute to watch him try play video games and just button mash beside me while I’m playing. He struggles with chores though. He’s much smaller than me so he can’t do all the things I’m doing just yet.
