SMILING FRIENDS - ETERNAL HAPPINESS!

Lore:
An unstable colourful static dubbed "The Spam" originating from Spamtopia has begun to infect residents of Pennsylvania, turning them into bloodthirsty glitchy zombies with a desire to infect the living.

The Spam:
The Spam is a colourful, glitchy, unstable mass of static that infects all non-Spamtopians and turns them into monsters. When infected, they are forced into a constant state of psychotic joy and bloodlust and their sole desire turns into infecting everyone else. Spamtopians and those with Spamish DNA are immune to it and the infected do not target them.

Types:
Fodder - The normal type of infected. Dangerous
Revenant - A dead corpse resurrected by the Spam. FARRRR more dangerous as there isn't a consciousness or state of psychotic joy, it's just bloodlust.
Mutant - An infected with noticeable deformities caused by the Spam. This includes extra/elongated limbs, deformed body parts, etc. Can be pretty dangerous for an unsuspecting survivor.
Harbringer - An infected with enhanced strength and body caused by the Spam. Happens rarely, stay the [censored] away from it.
Puppet - A very weak infected. Usually unable to survive on it's own so Mutants or Harbringers use them as minions or meatshields.

Infected Abilities:
Fakeout - An infected can "fake" not being infected to lure in survivors. Usually there's always a telltale sign or something off about them, but it works on new survivors. Only Fodders and Puppets are able to do this.
Lock-in - An infected can "lock in" on a target by tracking their movement, they have to remain focused on their target or else they'll lose them. Puppets cannot do this.
Power Amplification - When an infected feels like it's cornered or losing in battle, it will undergo a process called Power Amplification. This process gives them extra strength and willpower. You can tell when an infected is doing it when their body begins rapidly glitching and flashing different colours. Puppets cannot do this.
Regeneration - Infecteds can regenerate lost body parts and organs. Revenants cannot do this.

Locations:
MAIN TOWN
DANGER LEVEL: 5
The main town where the Smiling Friends HQ is located. The streets are mostly empty now but it can still be pretty dangerous for an unsuspecting survivor.

CRIMEVILLE
DANGER LEVEL: 8
Incredibly dangerous, the infected here are usually twice as unhinged as the normal ones due to it being Crimeville. The streets are often jam-packed with infecteds too. Unless you absolutely KNOW what you're doing, avoid this place.

ENCHANTED FOREST
DANGER LEVEL: 3
While some real threats can appear, natives don't try to infect survivors right away. Their need for making travellers do quests overrides The Spam. They'll basically force quests on you and in return you'll be spared.

HELL
DANGER LEVEL: 9
It's Hell, but now it's overrun with The Spam. Nuff said.

SPAMTOPIA
DANGER LEVEL: 10
The home of The Spam. This place's biomass alone can infect a typical survivor.

Storyline:
Eternal Happiness takes place after an alternate ending to The Magical Red Jewel (aka Tyler Gets Fired). Everything else before that is the same.

After Spamtopia plunged into anarchy with Oscar eschewing all laws, Pim and Mr. Boss didn't escape in time and were dragged into the Spamish biomass. What was left of them emerged as monsters hellbent on infecting the rest of the world. They went back to the office where Charlie, Allan, and Glep were of course waiting for them. Immediately the trio knew something was horribly wrong. Glep was turned but Charlie and Allan managed to fight them off and escape.

The Spam itself had made its way to the streets, forcing Charlie and Allan to split up. Meanwhile, Gwimbly was once again facing his old nemesis Count Groxia who was infected. Mr. Frog then came from behind and smashed Count Groxia's skull in with a hammer. Mr. Frog wasn't infected, but of course he was still a killer on his own. So he killed Gwimbly too and ran. However, the Spam resurrected their corpses and turned them into Revenants.

Charlie ran all the way to Crimeville which had not been touched yet. He's panicked but enjoys his little time outside of the beginning apocalypse. Unfortunately, Pim followed him. Pim tried fooling Charlie with a fakeout, and it almost worked. But The Spam bursts up from the sewer cover and latches onto a nearby DJ Spit. DJ Spit isn't fully infected right away, in his panic he grabs his gun and fires in the direction of Pim and Charlie. Pim is shot several times while Charlie ducks and gets out of the way. The Spam allows Pim to regenerate his wounds. Charlie runs back, this time heading to Salty's to gather food and supplies.

Allan was taking refuge in the Enchanted Forest where The Spam had just made its reach. He trudges through the forest, doing constant quests for survivors and infecteds alike. During this time, he gains full knight gear, weapons, potions, all the sorts. Until Mr. Boss flew in. The Magical Red Jewel fused with his heart and in turn it mutated him, giving him large, glitchy colourful dragon wings. Allan was not afraid, he had the gear he needed. He warded Mr. Boss off with his weapons and ran towards the castle.

The castle was in ruins. It was evident The Spam started it’s invasion of the Enchanted Forest from here.
