Will post shortly today.

I’m still here BTW. I’m going to wait until everyone has sort of grouped up if you will. I am assuming of course by that previous post that “objective one” is to rally together in the security room?

Anyway, I’m doing a sort of “off screen” thing and I intend to have Leon appear after a few of our cast have made it to location. I guess for now you could call him a supporting character.

I’ve already cleared things with @Delphio.

Pardon the delay. Posting today, he rhymed.

Working on something soon! Got distracted. I think I got confused on whether or not the door was closed, but it's not

@Slim Shady I assume your holding off on your next post?

@Delphio I’m posting tonight, I was going to have Cole restrain the man attempting to close the door if that’s alright with you. That’s about as much as useful as I can make my character at the moment. I can post tonight when I get home, but you’re more than welcome to continue if you have a post ready

I was legitimately hoping for that. I’d youd like, you have permission to post about Carter swearing up a storm and throwing an elbow into Cole’s face. To which Cole can do a hard face-slam on him, that being slamming him down onto the floor on his face. Only if you want.

@Delphio Noted, I just got home so i’ll add that bit in there when I post. Thanks for the heads up!

I'll post after the door gets shut by Charlotte.

Big thanks to Elijah for saving Mallory, lol. June is going to be super grateful

Glad he could be of service.

Mike is best character

@Zoey White You know he's doomed though... in zombie flicks security guards rarely last much longer than the 'selfish asshole' types...

The Dead Island Intro is the sickest thing ever. And uh, I'm not committing, even where I am interested, but what are you going to cap the number of participants at?

I’ll probably accept one or two more players. For now anyway.

That's cool. Give me 'til tomorrow or, possibly the next day? I love zombie everything(s) LOL On a side note, I can be dumb.

So I’ve been pondering the route we’re going to take with the escape, and I’d like to present possible options of refuge to everyone so we can decide where we shall flee to from the resort hotel. I’ve provided some listings/options and explanations below. Opinions please!

Moresby: Mikes’ suggestion. The “capital” city of Moresby, your cliche tin shanty and brick apartment third world city with a ten percent wealthy populace. (OOC) I’m going to spoiler here and say that Moresby is totally overrun. The crowded streets and alleys are swarming with the undead of all varieties, and the refugee centers have all fallen. The city is divided between honest survivors and the “Raskols”, street gangs who have seized the police station and a local armory and are fighting over resources while keeping the undead at bay. Very few “safe zones” exist and even those are under constant attack by the undead.

In other words, it will be survival of the fittest if we go to Moresby. Even if we find a suitable safe house for our group, the undead will be constantly knocking at our doors (literally) and we will have not a moment of piece. Player character deaths at some point are guaranteed.

The Beach Resort: The beach and the bungalows are as Mike said overrun, but not nearly as bad as Moresby. In truth, many of the resort bungalows can easily be fortified and used as ample safe houses. And then of course there’s the “Lighthouse Group”. The lighthouse near the resort is occupied by a group of survivors, a good ten or twelve people. While this would be dabbling in canon material, the lighthouse and it’s survivors are extremely secondary, and none of them are major characters, therefore I have no qualms about tinkering with them.

There is also a gas station that could be secured, and then best of all; there’s the deserted island off the coast, within earshot of the beach. (Seriously, our characters could all swim over to it if they had to.) Most likely it was a “party island”, where bonfires roared and drunken tourists in bathing suits danced around portable radios on beach blankets.

The drawback is supplies are very scarce around this area, especially food and weapons (i.e firearms and ammunition). Our characters would have to regularly leave the island to scavenge for food and other base supplies at the hotel and we would occasionally have to travel to Moresby.

So, to summarize...

If we go into Moresby; It would be a constant fight against the undead and the Raskols, however supplies would be easy to come by, from food and water to weapons. There are also several different groups of survivors we could join or coincide with. I’m exaggerating a bit when I said there would be no safe haven at all. We could easily seize an fortify an apartment or a warehouse. Again though, we would have to endure constant attacks. It would be strictly survival. Nothing else.

If we make a break for the beach resort; If we make a break for the beach, options are more diverse. We could pool ourselves in with the Lighthouse group, who are making plans to escape and assembling resources from food to flares. They even have a radio and long range transmitter. Or, we could make a break for the beach and then hop over to the island. Here, we would be able to stockpile supplies in peace and would have a safe haven from the undead hordes. We could also regularly mount supply runs along the coastline as well as into Moresby if we needed to and would have a place to bring anyone we rescued.

There are also numerous bungalows and cabins along the road that leads through the resort that we could easily hold up in. As well as various other structures.

In truth, I’m personally leading toward the island, at least that’s where Carter is going to insist we go. (Mike will present a map in my next post or two.) I’ll take this moment to state that it’s not mandatory we travel as a group. This is a fairly free range RP when it comes to character decisions and choices.

What do you guys think?

I’m also up for suggestions and advice!

Well personally, for my character, he would be more leaning towards the island. Maybe he even partied the other night at that island so he would have some kind of memory of it? Because honestly he knows nothing about anywhere about that place besides what he's heard and where he's been, which is around the beach and hotel. Having a safe and secure base would be pretty optimal, and he wouldn't mind putting in the work to make supply runs to places that might have more supplies. The only issue would be that they'd need a boat of some kind to transfer the supplies to the island. And, once supplies dry up, they might need to move anyways.

Now I would also be more than happy to possibly explore and find some less mainstream options, because in the back of his mind Cole would be like "Okay, let's go where everyone is not going to go. The zombies are probably going where the people are." A map would be quite helpful for all that, and who knows, maybe he'll be convinced otherwise.

There's also the problem of how are we going to get out of the control room with all the zombies waiting for all of us on the other side? I suggested maybe setting off an alarm, like a fire alarm, to distract them, or maybe there's a ventilation shaft. Because, as Cole noticed, these things for the most part can get distracted.

Island or lighthouse, Elijah will choose either. He's under the impression already that Moresby is completely overrun, though he's unaware that we could gain even a small foothold in a piece of its territory. The lighthouse would probably be Elijah's top choice, due to safety in numbers and his willingness to help, but the island sounds like a safe bet, putting us a distance from most dangers.

Once Mike shoots down her boat idea (:p) Eliza' go for the lighthouse.

@Slim Shady
It wouldn't be implausible that the Security Office may also have an emergency fire door somewhere in the back. If that's the case we could slip out that way

Charlotte would more than likely go for the island. Even though the lighthouse is secured, she wouldn't be at ease with the number of people there. She'd rather grab water, food, and supplies and get them over on a boat to the island.
