Yet Another Zombie Apocalypse RP IC

[Knight125]

On the fourth of April in the year of 2013, there was a palpable sense of change in the air, and the feeling only got stronger as the night drew near, and the full moon appeared in the sky.

At precisely 10:47:32 PM, Martin opened his eyes, but saw only blackness. He tried moving his arms and legs, but his entire body felt constricted, and the dull sound of metal clanging assailed his ears. He groans as his mind springs back into action, "I'm...alive? How is this possible? Why do I seem to be in a metal box? And why am I so freaking hungry? I need to get out of here." He kicks hard with his feet, and a metal panel flies off and falls to the ground with a resonating crash. Martin slowly wiggles out of the enclosed space, and finds himself in a large, cold room. He looks around and groans again in amazement, "This must be a coroner's station!" Just as he comes to the realization of where he is, Martin hears a whimpering from the corner of the room, and see's a shriveled old man in a fetal position, sobbing quietly. Martin shambles quickly toward him as the man cries out, "Stay away from me!" As Martin reaches the man, almost by instinct, he pounces on him, and tears his throat out with his slightly decomposed hands. Being urged on by new impulses, Martin slowly starts gorging himself on the coroner's corpse. With his hunger satisfied, Martin looks around at the rows and rows of drawers and growls, "If I'm not the only one that's going to come back to life, I better help out those that are still in the drawers." He starts making his way down the rows, pulling out the drawers , and revealing the corpses inside.

(You guys can choose anywhere to come back to life, but I'd like at least one of you to choose here.)

One of the drawers Martin pulled out revealed a little girl. She awoke at the sudden light piercing through her eyelids when she was drawn out of the large drawer. She was alarmed when she awoke, and looked around disoriented. "Wh-what?" Yuki stammered. "...Where am I? And why is it so cold in here?" She began to sit up, but once she realized she was nude she pulled the tarp back over her body and wrapped it around like a bath towel. Or at least as best as she could. She noticed the blood all over the man who had freed her, but said nothing. Judging by that and the way he moved, he seemed to have been injured. Not that she cared. Other peoples' injuries were not her problem.

But then again, Yuki was not feeling the same herself. Her body felt more frail now, more so than a perfectly healthy elementary school girl should. But then again her skin did not look healthy. Her body felt a little stiff, almost like was about to fall apart at any minute. And she was hungry. For some reason the gored body on the floor did not even gross her out, but seemed to increase her appetite even more. "Are you gonna finish that?" she asked somewhat spontaneously, pointing to the dead coroner.

In a cemetery not far away, another girl lay still and dead. Well, sort of. She was ten years older than Yuki when she awoke. She tried to move, but her body felt constricted. But wherever she was, the place was at least very comfortable. Her resting place smelled of perfume and her favorite variety of flowers, and elegant padding from all around cushioned her figure. But she had a hard time moving because of it. Soon she deduced that she had been mistaken for dead and buried alive. Upon that realization, she screamed in panic and began to claw at the inside of her coffin lid. Her screams could be heard not far from outside her grave. Hopefully someone would realize she was there and save her.
Not that she would run out of oxygen, little did she realize. The dead did not need to breathe, and therefore could not suffocate. The large cross-shaped tombstone that marked where she was buried had been partially destroyed. It did not look enough to have simply eroded over time, so someone (or something) had violated it. Most of the engraved characters that did remain on the stone were illegible, and what one could read from them they would not understand.

Lance woke up, groaning. He opened his eyes and saw he was in a forest, lying on his side. "What happened?" He wondered as he sat up. He looked around and saw he was alone, but he could hear cars in the distance. He looked down at his clothes, and saw his shirt had 4 holes in it and blood all over, but there weren't any bullet holes on his body. "Now that's weird... I remember being shot..." He didn't remember wearing kevlar under his shirt, though, so he didn't understand why he was "alive". He stood up and began walking towards the sound of cars, stumbling upon a graveyard before long. He climbed the wall and continued on his way, until he heard someone yelling, calling for help. He stopped and looked around, but he couldn't see anyone. "Hello!?" He yelled, his voice coarse. He started following the voice, until he came upon one of the graves, noticing the sound was coming from below his feet. He looked around and found a piece of wood that seemed sturdy enough, and began using it to dig into the grave. "Calm down, I'm digging you out!"

[Knight125]

Martin looked over at the girl that spoke, and smiled, "I'm not alone," he thought. He shrugged stiffly in response to her first few questions, but when she asks about the coroner, he shakes his head and growls, "Help yourself."

Donny opened his eyes. Her was sitting against the all in an alley, with blood drenching his shirt. His neck was sore, but when he checked it for injuries, he could feel his collar bone. He looked and saw it sticking out, but he wasn't sure how to react to it. The first thing that came was surprise. Then a great indifference. Whatever was going on, he needed to get off and go. Somewhere, anywhere, just not stay here. Before long he stumped into a hardware store, the place mostly empty. He wasn't sure why he came here of all places, but soon enough his hands began to move on their own, grabbing things off the shelf and using Duct Tape. It felt natural to him.

Soon a bloody hand shot out of the dirt, trying it claw the rest of the earth off of the body. The hand hit the pieces of wood of the other one digging into the ground, but eventually enough of the arm was out of the ground and grabbed onto the other one, pulling a body out from the ground. The body was that of a young woman; her body pale yet unblemished due to the preservatives that was pumped into her during her funeral. her mouth salivated, as she wanted to eat, but she wasn't sure what. This one looked tasty, but she didn't want him. She wanted someone not him. "F-f-food...?" she was starving, and looking around, she figured out who she was. The tombstone behind her read out her name; Noel Riovas. She looked to the other one, wanting to ask so many questions, but all she could ask for now was for food. Whatever that was.

[Zeratul2k]

Lance stopped digging and helped the woman out of the grave, staying on his knees as she asked for food. He looked around as he slowly realized he was hungry as well, more so than when he "woke up". He also noticed that he wasn't tired, and he didn't really know how he had managed to dig so much with just a piece of wood. It would have required considerable force, at least. He looked at his hands for a few seconds, before standing up, looking at the woman. "There's no food here... but I'm sure we can find some." He said, turning around towards the sound of cars he had heard before.

Without another word, Yuki knelt down and took a bite. Not bad, she thought. The girl found it only a little odd that she was craving human flesh, but thought little of it and more of her appetite at the time. It was not just that, but the way she was eating. Blood spattered from arteries of the dead man as she bit into him, and landed on her tarp. I imagine something like this could use at least a little salt, she mused, but not bad at all! Aside from that, why am I still alive? I remember dying. Even the doctor told me I was not going to make it.

But then, she noticed that there was a more... pressing matter, at hand. She caught her tarp as it was slipping down a little, put down what was left of the dead coroner and used the tarp as a napkin to wipe his blood from her mouth. Then she went straight to his desk. "Hey, you see any clothes around here?" she asked, already rummaging through paperwork and other miscellaneous items. Shortly, she found her old change of clothes. A pink sweater and skirt over her old school uniform, the one she had died in. The code on the plastic bag label matched that of her freezer and had her name on it, so it had to be hers. "Were they really going to bury me in this?" she sighed, slightly annoyed. Then she shrugged it off. "Meh, whatever. Now what else is out there?" she said, opening a door.

"Help! Help! Get me out of here! I think I'm running out of oxygen!!" The woman screamed. She was breathing hard and fast in her state of panic, but would not run out of air no matter how long she was down there. Yet, with each second, she could feel her very life slipping away. Little did she realize it was due to her own stress, stress that she was unknowingly inflicting upon herself.
However, just when she started to lose hope, her coffin had been opened and she was helped out of the grave. The man who helped her out was a little on the short side, but still, it was nice of him. "Oh, thank you!" the woman said with a great relief. "For a minute, I never thought I'd get out of there! What's your name?"

And then there was that other woman. Her eyes looked a little empty, and she was obviously very hungry. That's weird, the woman thought. How could anyone be hungry at a time like this?
But then as if on cue, her own stomach started to complain. She began to feel strange cravings, cravings for things she did not even like. But then again, a person's taste would tend to change as they grew up. Was undeath simply another part of growing up? If so, why were only some people brought back? And what brought them back in the first place?
Those questions aside, the girl noticed Lance was moving toward the sound of cars. "Hey, maybe someone can give us directions!" she said, then came up to the roadside and flagged the first passing car she saw. "Hey, stop!" she shouted to the drivers.

[Zeratul2k]

Lance didn't pay attention to the women's try at stopping a car, simply walking into the traffic when he saw a car that was moving slow enough. He planted both feet on the ground and pushed hard against the car as it reached him. There was the sound of tires screeching as the car came to an halt, with the driver and his passenger jumping out of the car. "Hey, are you ok?" The driver asked, only to find Lance in front of him, punching him hard in the head with a hook. The driver fell against the car, dead, and Lance starting eating, on instinct.

[Lucius Cypher]

Noel was quiet as she followed the other one, who had freed another woman. Noel was still hungry, but this one wasn't right either. Something was off. She followed the other one, the man, and saw him stop a car. The man attacked the driver, and began to eat him. The driver had another passenger, who went over to try to stop the other one. But then Noel closed in on the passenger, and from her hands an odd formation of bone formed on her palm. This formation was like a spike, and Noel used it to pierced the passenger through the lungs. Repeatedly. After stabbing the passenger to death, she ate the corpse, not too concerned about the splatter she was making.

Donny looked behind him. He saw a scared human, armed with a pipe. Words were spoken, but Donny didn't hear him. All Donny did was rev his chainsaw. Both of them. the human tried to flee, but Donny had reach. His first meal.

[Knight125]

(Did Donny get his chainsaw from the hardware store?)

Martin noticed that he was also nude, and would have blushed if blood still coursed through his body. He searched the office until he found a closet full of buriul suits. He picked one out, he thought, "I may be considered a zombie, but I'll be the best dressed zombie!" He walks to the door to the street, then growls to Yuki, "I'm going to go look for others like us at the graveyard. Do you wanna come?"
