Steve had seen his fair share of apocalyptic films growing up, his favorite being the Mad Max series at the time. In way the city had become a wasteland fraught with death and the people that remained either coward or turned into something else entirely.
The Mad Max comparisons didn't just stop there, however. Multiple people came out of the woodwork and surrounded Beth's vehicle. Each and every person present looked worn down by the day's events but nevertheless clung to life. Their clothes were ragged, and they wore what appeared to be makeshift armor and... warpaint?
"Steve..." Debbie whispered.
"Who are you people!?" Beth snaped.
No one would answer but the people soon parted as an older man stepped through the crowd. He looked just as out there as the rest of them but wore glasses that clashed with his body armor, and he looked to be carrying around a book as well. If the man were cleaned up more, he could honestly pass as a college professor.
"Hello friends!" He spoke. "Have you also come to seek salvation in the arms the immaculate one?"
Everyone in the car blinked.
"Immaculate one?" Debbie parroted.
The man smiled. "Yes! Have you come to seek salvation in her crimson embrace the same as the rest of us?"
Steve gulped nervously and whispered. "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Who is the immaculate one and who are you for that matter." Beth asked with annoyance clear in her voice. She was just done with everything going wrong in her life today.
"Where are my manners. How very rude of me. My name is Cyrus, and we are the worshippers of the immaculate one. The giantess has descended upon the world and will now reshape it in her own glorious image."
Everyone was now looking at him as if he'd lost his mind. He and all the other Mad Max wannabes were worshippers of the giant woman that was walking around and killing anything that move. Who? What? When? Where? How? Why?
"I ask again..." Cyrus adjusted his glasses. "Have you come to seek salvation in her crimson embrace?"
"Beth..." Steve started. "Back up... slowly."
The blonde nodded. "Right."
