Little Chernobyl

""There are many places here that seem sketchy, experimental, or downright morally reprehensible. They must hide oh so many a dark secret. So many tragic tales to be told, of weird tests and measurements. I swear for the past few minutes this albino man with a giant syringe has been following me. Who knows what kind of product he's doing trials of. I know I don't want whatever chemicals he's got in my bloodstream. No sir. There's nothing else for me here. I'm gonna hightail it.""

Home to the R&D headquarters of many a small business and international conglomerate alike. Don't drink the water.

Dilapidated office buildings overgrown with ivy and the bombed-out frames of unidentifiable structures comprise the majority of the housing for this sparsely populated district. Radioactive almost to the point of warding off thieves and vandals (but not quite), many people report seeing strange creatures and various cryptids roaming the abandoned power plant complex at night.

Little Chernobyl might not be much to look at or often discussed nowadays, but don't be fooled by its current irrelevance. Long ago, it was home to Arizona's largest nuclear power plant. An electrical blackout caused a total safety system failure, leading in a cataclysmic nuclear meltdown. This caused nuclear waste to flood into the Grand Canyon and create the Slime Sea we know and love today.

Pathetic little gardens front the uneven parking lots of corporate complexes housing dentists, fortune-tellers, real estate agencies, and other equally dull and pointless ventures.

Green Cake Cafe
Deeply nestled in the vandalized, sparsely populated buildings of Little Chernobyl lays a stubby building covered in vines, spray paint, and posters for criminals and concerts that have both long since passed. It seems the recently realized population of authors in the city has taken this irradiated little dump to be a safe haven from the general noisiness of the other districts in the city. Little do they know, the consequences of spending most of your time in Little Chernobyl will far exceed tinnitus in the long-term, but for now the Green Cake Cafe is where hipsters of all varieties want to write their zine opus while drinking a fresh cup of goolong tea served by the seven-eyed waitress.

Half-Life Road
This road has such high densities of concerted radiation that technically speaking you instantly die as soon as you step on it. Thankfully, the slime works in mysterious ways and your god-defying pseudo-corpse continues to be propped up by your ""consciousness"" for the remainder of your short, sad life. You're neither alive nor dead. You're in a sort of, wait for it - Team Fortress 2. Haha, G-Man!!

Reactor Ground Zero
This abandoned nuclear power plant is the site of the famous meltdown that flooded the Grand Canyon with slime and ushered in our modern era of gang violence and territory control. It got totally fucked up in the explosion, so navigating the furthest depths is ill-advised. Stick to the upper levels and grounds around the cooling tower unless you want to wind up with an extra set of Mutations. Wait\u2026 that sounds awesome! All sorts of cryptids are born by accidentally venturing too far down, and then spread out through the district, spooking tourists and inspiring countless creepypastas.

Bombed-Out Buildings
These old, barely standing apartment buildings used to be prime real estate before everything went to shit. Well, more like before anything went to slime, aka got infinitely better and way cooler. They've still got a nice location overlooking the River of Slime, but everything looks super gross so no one wants to move back in and no one really gives enough of a shit to demolish what's left and rebuild from scratch.
