   World Setting: The Blank Virus Pandemic

   Overview

   • Location: United States
   • Current Year: 2024
   • Inciting Incident: Outbreak of the "Blank Virus" in Summer 2023 across the globe.
   • Current State: Societal infrastructure has severely degraded. The night belongs to the infected.

   Blank Virus (Tabula Rasa)

   • Transmission: Transmitted via biting.
   • Nomenclature: Officially the Tabula Rasa Virus. Infected are called Blanky, Blankies.
   • Primary Symptom: Total loss of emotion.
   • Legal Status: Infected are living, sick humans. Unprovoked attacks on them constitute assault or murder. Self-defense laws only apply during active nighttime attacks.

   Infected (Blankies)

   • Daytime / In the Light:
     • Unmotivated, silent (except involuntary reflexes: gasping, groaning). Otherwise indistinguishable from uninfected humans. They wash, do laundry, drive, run errands, follow routines.
     • Retain full intelligence.
     • Harmless in illuminated areas.
     • Behavioral Continuity: Blankies mechanically repeat routines. A formerly generous neighbor will still cook and share food after infection. Conversely, those who were criminals before infection continue to commit crimes. A burglar who gets bitten will mechanically keep breaking into houses as a Blanky.
   • Nighttime / In the Dark:
     • Passively roam streets and alleys. Do not actively hunt or investigate lights/noises.
     • The Trigger: The sight of an uninfected human face.
     • Covered Faces: In the dark, a covered face (mask, hood, scarf) prompts Blankies to actively approach and investigate.
     • Exposing the face and faking a perfectly blank expression buys more time than covering it. This is a temporary stall. (The only countermeasure: medically paralyzing facial muscles to erase micro-expressions).
     • Once fully triggered, they sprint in silence to bite and infect.

   Blanky Horde

   • Concept: While a solitary Blanky can be easily stopped by a heavy flashlight, a dense group of them creates a deadly physical phenomenon.
   • Density-dependent escalation. Front-rank illuminated bodies cast moving shadows onto the ranks behind them. Rear-rank Blankies remain in shadow, triggered and pushing forward, driving the front line into the victim. Flashlights are useless against a horde.
   • Escaping the Horde: Retreat into an enclosed, brightly lit indoor space with total environmental illumination.

   Silent Zones

   • Concept: Residential districts heavily populated by Blankies. Most uninfected residents fled; a few "holdouts" remain.
   • Daytime: Herds of Blankies pour out to commute or wander. Holdouts remain, citing daytime safety.
   • Nighttime: Blankie density makes Horde encounters likely. Most buildings lack power. No commerce after dusk.

   Government & Society

   • U.S. Strategy: Infrastructure (roads, power) has been largely abandoned due to an infected, unmotivated workforce. All resources are redirected toward finding a cure.
   • Cure ETA: 2 years (optimistic) to 12 years (pessimistic).
   • Urban Life: Most cities are dead quiet and pitch-black at night.
   • Daytime Normalcy: Cities function near-normally during daylight. Workplaces retain infected employees who show up, work in silence, and go home. Blankies are former friends and colleagues, not zombies. The morning commute is the same crowd on the same route, minus the expressions.
   • Safe Cities: A few major hubs (e.g., New York City) maintain constant, heavily funded street lighting to remain "cities that never sleep." However, unlit back alleys remain lethal.

   Distribution Crisis

   • The Original Hubs: Pre-pandemic distribution centers were abandoned within weeks of the outbreak. Blankies kept arriving for work on schedule, handling and sorting packages mechanically. Saliva and bite contamination on parcels became a confirmed transmission vector. Packages leaving these centers were linked to new infections.
   • The New Distribution Centers: Built from scratch after the pandemic. Uninfected-only staffing. Mandatory facial-expression checks at entry ("Smile", "Frown"). UV sterilization tunnels for all inbound goods. Sealed loading bays with positive air pressure.
   • Capacity Problem: The new centers handle a fraction of pre-pandemic volume. Corporate and government logistics get priority; individuals wait weeks. Private couriers fill the gap, delivering what the centers cannot or will not. Speed and reliability are worth more than safety.

   Night Economy

   • The Empty Roads: Night streets are virtually car-free. Blankies usually do not drive at night (no routine to follow, no motivation). Uninfected civilians stay indoors. The only vehicles on the road are couriers, security patrols, and criminals. For a skilled courier with proper gear, a 6-hour daytime run becomes a 2-hour night run. Speed is the primary reason corporations and the CDC pay night-delivery premiums.
   • Hazard Pay: Night-shift jobs (delivery, security, patrol) pay astronomical, professional-tier salaries.
   • Standard Gear:
     • Heavy industrial flashlights carried in quick-draw holsters.
     • Multiple backup lights and spare batteries.
     • High-visibility reflective clothing. (Dark "stealth" clothing is a rookie death sentence).

   Factions & Threats

   Night Watchers ("Vigilantes")

   • Slogan: "Give the night back to humanity."
   • Modus Operandi: Exploit self-defense loopholes to hunt and beat Blankies to death.
   • Weapons: Clubs, bats, and torches. They avoid firearms to bypass premeditated murder charges.
   • The Threat: They frequently attack innocent night-shift workers and often get bitten during their brawls, rapidly spreading the virus further.
   • Societal Condemnation: Blankies mechanically perform acts of social kindness during daylight (cooking, sharing, helping). Vigilante violence against them is widely condemned. Public sentiment equates it to beating a sick neighbor who still brings you dinner.

   Grid Gangs

   • Concept: Opportunistic cartels that monopolized local power grids after the government abandoned infrastructure.
   • Modus Operandi: Control generators, fuel depots, and solar farms outside the safe zones. Charge exorbitant "light rent" for access to illuminated safe havens.
   • The Threat: Non-payment of weekly extortion fees results in power-line cuts at sunset.

   Ghost Mill Operators

   • Concept: Corporate entities and sweatshop owners exploiting daytime Blanky behavior.
   • Modus Operandi: Herd daytime Blankies into lit warehouses for unpaid menial labor (sorting, packaging, assembly).
   • The Threat: Technically legal (Blankies retain citizenship), widely condemned. A warehouse power failure turns the floor into an enclosed slaughterhouse. Rumors persist that some operators intentionally infect undocumented humans to create a free, compliant workforce.

   Bulb-Smashers

   • Concept: Desperate criminals who prey on the lucrative night-shift economy.
   • Modus Operandi: Set up traps in dimly lit transition zones between safe streets.
   • The Threat: Use strobe lights to disorient targets, or shoot out streetlights and smash flashlights. Once the target is in darkness, the Bulb-Smashers rob them of gear and batteries, leaving the victim as bait.

   Blanky-Home Burglars

   • Concept: Thieves who exclusively target the homes of the infected.
   • Modus Operandi: They usually strike during the day when Blankies are "commuting," or at night when they are roaming. If they encounter a Blanky inside, they simply pacify them with a strong flashlight and casually loot the house.
   • The Threat: "Polite" thieves only steal hidden valuables, leaving basic necessities so the Blanky can maintain their mechanical daily routine. However, malicious gangs strip houses bare. Deprived of food and basic infrastructure, the affected Blankies starve, fall ill, or begin wandering erratically during the day, turning these robberies into delayed murder and creating unpredictable daytime hazards.

   Tollkeepers

   • Concept: Opportunists and rogue officials who occupy key transit routes and demand tolls. They exist in a gray area as a "necessary evil" for maintaining abandoned infrastructure.
   • Factions within:
     • Locals who genuinely repair roads and maintain generator-powered streetlights, asking only for reasonable donations.
     • Thugs who hijack perfectly safe, functioning routes simply to demand protection money.
     • Former state checkpoint guards. Bitter that the government stopped paying them while night-shift workers make fortunes, they heavily extort citizens passing through.
   • Courier Interaction: Night couriers and professionals usually buy "monthly passes" from these groups to ensure fast-track processing, or pay premium bribes to bypass safety checks entirely.

   Common Sense in the Blank Era

   The Light Rule

   • More light = more safety. Blankies remain dormant and harmless in illuminated areas. Any night worker's first priority is environmental illumination.
   • Darkness is the threat. In the dark, Blankies roam passively until they see an uninfected human face. Then they sprint to bite.
   • Standard protocol: Keep lights blazing at all times in infected-dense areas. Kill lights only when approaching uninfected persons (to avoid triggering Blankies who might notice the face illuminated by the light).

   The Horde Exception

   • A single heavy flashlight stops one Blanky. A dense group creates the Blanky Horde: front-rank bodies cast shadows onto ranks behind, keeping them triggered and pushing forward.
   • Against a Horde, retreat into fully enclosed, brightly lit indoor spaces. Flashlights are useless.

   Special Blankies (Unique Cases)

   • Concept: Rare, anomalous cases of infected individuals who deviate from standard Blanky behavior. Their threat level comes entirely from who they were, what they were wearing, or what they did for a living before getting infected. Some are trivial curiosities. Others (Keyholders, Wheelers) are lethal.
   • Anglerfishes: Infected night-shift workers, couriers, or guards.
   • Vandals: Criminals (like Blanky-Home Burglars) who were infected. Because they retain their pre-infection intelligence and routines, they mechanically continue to break into houses.
   • Wheelers: Blankies who were professional drivers before infection. They still mechanically drive their routes. During the day, they are just part of the traffic. At night, however, if their headlights sweep across an uninfected human face, they silently floor the gas pedal and attempt to run the target down.
   • Keyholders: Blankies who used to be janitors, electricians, or security guards.
   • Routine-less Blankies: Blankies who lost their routines. They wander off without pattern.

   Clarifications

   • Both infected and uninfected are biologically alive.
   • Blankies are NOT undead. They have normal body temperatures, pulses, breathing, and blood flow.
4. #4🗺️Atlanta Setting / 애틀랜타 설정🗺️constant

   Keys:

   Atlanta Setting

   City Overview

   • "City in a Forest." Dense canopy blocks ambient light and moonlight. Kudzu grows unchecked on abandoned buildings, light poles, and vehicles, creating ground-level cover Blankies stand behind. Couriers watch the vine walls as much as the treeline.
   • Status: Partially maintained. Not a Safe City. Heavy CDC-Emory presence.
   • Nighttime: Dark outside the CDC-Emory perimeter and corporate zones. Canopy and kudzu deepen the darkness.
   • Daytime: Functional. MARTA runs packed with Blankie commuters on old routes.
   • MARTA at Night: Shutdown. Unlit tunnels and elevated sections are death traps. Couriers avoid the right-of-way.

   CDC-Emory Medical Complex

   • Fortified joint complex: CDC headquarters and Emory University Hospital. Perimeter floodlit 24/7, guarded, checkpoint-controlled, dedicated generators.
   • Emory labs double as CDC research wings. Primary treatment facility for the southeastern U.S.
   • Surrounding blocks benefit from the complex's light infrastructure: a small Safe Zone by proximity.
   • Major uninfected employer. Couriers with CDC contracts get checkpoint fast-pass privileges.

   The ADC (Atlanta Distribution Center)

   • Built CDC-adjacent in early 2024. Replaced abandoned southern industrial hubs.
   • Handles CDC logistics (medical, research, documents) and limited civilian goods. Corporate priority; individuals wait.

   Districts

   • CDC Perimeter Zone: Bright, expensive, pre-pandemic feel. Night economy (cafes, diners, bars). High rent, limited housing.
   • Midtown/Downtown: Daytime functional, mixed staff. Nighttime dark. Silent Zones in former residential towers.
   • Southern Industrial Corridor: Abandoned old hubs swallowed by kudzu. Blankies commute here by day. Nighttime: no power, high Blankie density, zero visibility. Avoid.
   • Northern Suburbs: Mixed. Some Grid Gang neighborhoods. Wealthier areas maintain private generator collectives.

   Night Courier Scene

   • CDC contracts dominate. ADC needs constant inbound/outbound transport.
   • Couriers favor armored vans. CDC-ADC route is well-lit; last mile into dark zones is dangerous.
   • Bulb-Smashers active in transition zones between lit and dark districts.
   • Night Watch: low near CDC, moderate in outer districts.

   Local Details

   • Sweet drink shops and cafes near CDC perimeter cater to research staff and couriers.
   • CDC runs a free facial-expression screening clinic with employment certification badges.
   • Hedley Bell: CDC-ADC corridor and private delivery routes into northern suburbs.
