a. the red shit.
There are rumblings in the deepest, most overgrown part of the agricultural area, where until very recently there was a lingering pocket of red algae. The good news is, the red algae is gone! The bad news is, it all got eaten by a mutated bear-thing with giant antlers. The algae did a number on the poor thing, doping it up and confusing it to the point where everything is an enemy.
What’s worse? The algae has adapted, colonizing the creature’s entire body. The algae has mutated in the process, releasing a protective cloud of toxins that causes severe hallucinations, as well as some of the protective and euphoric qualities that the red algae originally possessed. Which means the mutated, antlered, bear-thing is accompanied by a small army of other creatures, from large to small, who are all very invested in its survival and also are being driven crazy by its presence.
Prepare yourselves for one hell of a hunt. These animals can pop up almost everywhere in the agricultural zones, and when they do show their paws it’s to go on a rampage.

b. fashionista.
It wouldn’t be Anchor if the bots weren’t fucking shit up.
This time, the spa bots have gone full stylist coach, chasing down residents and trying to do their hair, nails, makeup, or change their clothes. In some cases, they're literally sweeping people off their feet and carrying them to the hot springs, massage rooms, and spa areas to be pampered. Too bad most of their cosmetics are fifty years out of date and the closests they’ve raided either had another resident’s clothes or moth-eaten dust-covered rags.
Is that the jacket Idris Elba was wearing in the introductory video? It kinda looks like it.
But it’s not all bad! The bots actually give great massages and fantastic mani-pedis. They also have a small stash of fresh cosmetics and clean clothes that got left behind in the spas. They might not fit great, but they look pretty good!
If your character doesn’t practice proper self-care, well. They’d better watch out. These bots have a particular eye for the sad, the filthy, the tired, and they’re going to make sure you get some damn fine pampering.

c. whole foods: 2.0.
Remember that whole Whole Foods grocery store thing that happened? Well, the grocery store and the zombies are still there. Only now there are more zombies, and two giant supply trucks have shown up, one behind and one in front of the store.
The one at the rear of the store can be accessed fairly easily. It’s painted to look like a giant United States flag, with a dramatic crying eagle emblazoned across the back doors. Inside, there is beer. Lots and lots of beer, and a bunch of semiautomatic rifles. Also some skeletons. Seems like the guns and booze didn’t help them.
The one in front of the store is thickly surrounded, the creatures clawing at the plain white sides of the semi like there’s something precious inside.
If Anchorites can make it through, if they can fend off the monsters and keep from getting torn to pieces by a hoard of bloodthirsty beasts, they’ll find out what that precious truck contains.
It’s twinkies. A semi full of twinkies. We hope you’ve got a sweet tooth, Anchor.

no subject
I know. I saw him already.
[And his sheepish body language might imply that it hadn't gone particularly well. Lalli knows he has a problem of lashing out when he's upset, but that doesn't make him feel any better about it afterward when his emotions have cooled.]
no subject
Do you guys... not get along?
[ Because there's only one family member of Ami's that she wouldn't be happy to see, and that's why. ]
no subject
No. I mean, we do. Sort of. I don't know.
[How very descriptive. Lalli trails a finger on the ground in nonsense patterns as he dwells.]
I pushed him and yelled at him.
[Yep, that's guilt.]
no subject
Well - you did just get here, and it's really stressful at first. He knows that. I'm sure he'll understand if you just say sorry.
[ She doesn't know Onni well, but he seems like a nice enough person for that. ]
no subject
And besides, this is... a particular situation.]
I don't want to.
[Which is to say, he's still pissed off himself.]
no subject
[ She doesn't get it. ]
no subject
[That comes out of nowhere, and Lalli seems as surprised by it as anybody. Rather than ride it out, he sinks back on himself sullenly.]
I don't know. I'm mad at him.
no subject
... Okay.
[ Honestly, she's not sure what else to say. "What'd he do?" "What happened?" she could ask, but ... it's really none of her business, isn't it? Maybe she could help more if she knew more, but it's not worth the risk of asking. Anyway, from Lalli's perspective, she's just a stranger. ]
It's... okay to be mad. I mean, it can always wait until you're not mad.
