I'll be making a post soon for Eli and Refuge. If there's anybody working on a post for the current stage of the IC please notify me.

Put this in a hider plox

@AndreyichCan do!

Post in the works, should be up by tomorrow at some point. I'll reveal a few tidbits in Refuge, since I assume Andreyich's character would be arriving back there by then. (I'll be jumping the time by a couple of hours.)

@Aeonumbra Should I post in the IC, and if so, would Lea reasonably be with the scav crew, or should I put him back at base?

Yeah I just got there and am waiting for gates to open and to "tell the tale" and perhaps organize a rescue party or some shit

@Tybalt Capulet Your character is denied. Thank you for your interest.

@Aeonumbra
Alrighty then. Thanks anyway!

_{There is only silence, broken sporadically by the sound of Aeon cackling with a vaudevillian flair, and then he begins to monologue}

Originally, I was going to leave Refuge alone. I figured it was out of the way enough, and with the night curfew the residents would be quiet enough not to attract any ghouls (who would then call out to other ghouls in a sort of domino effec.

And then @Andreyich happened.

Remember in the IC when I said your character's actions will have real effects on this world?

_{Aeon laughs, claps, and exits right stage.}

:)

I'm just surprised that the ghouls were able to keep up with the vehicles. they gone done turned world war z on us. Andreyich, what have you done, lol.

see....thats karma right there.

also, just peeked at the character list to go over everyone again. Geo is listed under me instead of Rilla.

Fixed the character thing.

Also, about the ghouls. It's true that the standard ghoul is about as fast as an average person. However, I'm diabolical you see, which is why I gave you runners. Even if we assumed we killed all of the initial runners, there would be others in the city. Likely, even, in areas that the convoy had already passed, hiding from the daylight.

Now, if we also consider that in today's reality, the drive from Brown's Point to Federal Way (the destination) is supposedly 20ish minutes. The route I had envisioned in my head was more around 30 - In today's world.

Add in an overgrown jungle, dangers around every corner, rough and unstable terrain, and the need to drive about as fast as the jurassic park automated observation jeeps (slow). We have a trip that takes a good amount of hours. Now, in all of those hours of trying not to kill yourself driving through other dangers, on top of the millions of ghouls in the city -- The ghouls coming at Refuge can be implied to be a different set of baddies.

However, there is an unknown variable. The weird phenomena, the girl, the sounds, and why all the ghouls that had been in Eli's area are gone. So perhaps, maybe it's not the truck's fault? Perhaps there are darker forces at work here, or perhaps the runners (who could keep up with the trucks trying to plow their way through uncertain paths) notified their brethren, and thus a horde began to amass behind them.

If we ascertain that each pack of ghouls has a good number of runners, as seen by the skirmish at the rubble pile, which we can assume were probably between 10-30 in number, than attracting a wide swathe of ghouls from sections of the city could potentially bring hundreds of runners. Thus, the need to get in the gate quickly.

Yes, I did say hundreds of runners, which I would say is about equal to as Sergeant Docker put it "a tide of ghouls".

Speculate on that.

You don't even see the rest of the ghouls.

Yet.

Was this explanation satisfactory?

Lol its all fine, i wasnt trying to sound critical, just making jokes. Thats how i invisioned them before anyway when you described them like waves.

And if thats just the runners....well....goodbye home hahaha

I'm just trying to be reasonable, and believable :)

I have off tomorrow and should be able to post then!

I'll try to post soon but it's hard because travelling

Sounds good fellas. I'm not a huge stickler on things, you have time. :)

Dangit, sorry guys, I didn't mean to leave y'all hanging. I'll get a post up, things just got busy here. Shouldn't be too long though.

How's the posts coming?

Should have mine finished today. As I'm off. Been short staffed at work, so extra tired when I get off.
