The time is here, my children. The angel of light has risen, and it is time for the main events to begin. Those past horrors, they were nothing but mere musings, the slightest hint of something that is yet to come. They were not even the beginning of the end, hardly a prelude. Watch for the four stallions and beware, for your first trial is already upon you. Those who witnessed the supernatural, it is they who have come back to life. And they are scrambling for blood, thirsty for revenge. They will stop at nothing and can be stopped by almost nothing. If you had been involved in one of their deaths, they are coming for you, and unfortunately, these dead are not slow.
Sutton Smith, born to a mother who never loved her and a father who loved her too little, she has been brought back from the grave. Her body is still covered in the boils and burns, with a curious symbol on her palm--the mark of a Witness. More beast now than human, Sutton is coming after
Eudora Erebus. Armed with her usual weapons, any reasoning with her, as with the others, will be pointless.
Reverend Adder, a preacher who attempted to save his daughter, yet failed to recognize that she was already gone. The knife wound from when the demon murdered him is still prominent, yet it fails to bleed any longer. Any holiness or compassion in him are long since gone, with him going through the motions, with all of the flexibility of a sedentary man in his fifties. Reverend Adder is coming after
Jade Cornish. However, even with his lack of skill, his superhuman strength will cause the dear old Reverend to be a serious foe.
Vivian Adder, a neglected child who learned to entertain herself, in ways that fail our understanding. She had been possessed by the demon for months, perhaps even years, and no one who knew her raised an eyebrow. She remained trapped inside her own mind and body, yet this has not quelled her bloodthirstiness. Bullets will not phase her, but her bullets may simply phase you. She is coming after
Danica Graves.
Elizabeth Hawthorne, granted a new life only to have it snatched away from her so quickly. She had a doctorate degree in chemistry, yet not even that mattered, for she is as insane and mindless as the rest of them. Her skin, curiously, seems to be constructed by ash. Her hair glows, covered with embers, ready to spring into flames at any moment. Elizabeth is coming after
Aloise Mendoza, and her flexibility may just surprise you.
Daniyal Lohi, a survivor of more conflicts than the world shall ever know. He sacrificed himself for people who could not do anything but fail to understand him, with his family brutally slaughtered by his own words. He began this bloodbath, and it seems that in death, Daniyal shall continue it. Daniyal is coming after
Belladonna Crypt. And unfortunately, his magical prowess seems to have only perfected itself with time.
Jessica Sorreast, or perhaps some knew her as Natasha. The jury is still out on this one. However, for a woman who took an oath to do no harm, Jessica perhaps did the most harm. Possessed by the first demon, the creature was the final seal, the final lock on the cage to ensure the devil remained trapped. With the death of the demon and Jessica, it was over. Yet her corpse continues to move, a life more like death fills those lungs, as she goes after
Mitsukuri Katsumi. She is armed with a scalpel, how curious.
John Moses, a man who seems to be connected to everything. His ghost has been dispelled from this Earth, yet it does not change the matter of his death. His death was far from an accident, something fair Adriana had learned before she too met her end. He comes for
Sylvia Strange, and if his ghost was not fearsome enough, killing is now the only subject on his mind.
Jake Anderson, the owner of that crude little establishment. He had attempted to flee the town that day, only to show up dead in the woods, part of a lengthy slaughter. His corpse now breaths as well, fueled with something now more powerful than PTSD and alcoholism. A soldier, he will fight like one. He is coming for
Zachary Carpenter.
Chase Barnes, a surgeon whose meager talent was nothing compared to that of Amy Chang's. His face is streaked with blood, the remnants of the spell that caused his demise. His anger and rage fuel his actions still, as he no longer needs to resort to qareens in order to exact his revenge. He merely needs to have blood, to feel it slipping between his hands. He is coming for
Javier Crypt. Clarissa Fields, a former inmate at the prison who died behind bars far too soon. She and John Moses share a killer, though her life was taken for a more practical reason. She was survived by her only daughter, yet the girl was driven insane by night terrors, and locked up in the mental ward of Altsoba Methodist. Imprisoned for seven homicides over a one month period, she is coming for
Darren Andrews. Mason Harkness, the former boyfriend of Walter Hanson. Found dead under mysterious circumstances six months prior, police found what appeared to be a bag, filled with assorted bones and spices, planted on his person. His killer was never identified, but you and I know better. The same person who murdered John Moses had come for Mason's life. He now comes for
Liam Matthews. Harley James' corpse was not even cold before he once again breathed life. Sent by the FBI to assist Scarlet Warrington, he never made it farther than the town line, slaughtered by forces he could not see. His limbs, hardly stitched together, now ache with the urge to rip and tear and kill. He now comes for
Samantha Hunter.
Please read the above post to see what horrifying undead thing is coming for your head. These things will now start to show up and appear to your characters. No rolls have yet been made for whether or not you survive the attack, but rest assured, they will and can attack. Some of you may see the corpses leave your location to hunt down others. LLA determined who was paired up with who, with only one character (Amy Chang) being spared.
@Witch Cat: Sylvia is safe, aside from the above. Her spirit guide isn't offering any wisdom, and nor is she getting any sort of calls saying that it was a mistaken. Her brother really is dead. However, the day is still young, and perhaps one of the bars has opened up early near Town Center. Drinking away your grief can really be helpful, right?
@Witch Cat: Now, I imagine that this isn't a normal morning for Eudora...First of all, her hip is fractured or something. That was a nasty hit she sustained, so she'll be hobbling back to her hut at best. And then, everywhere she looks, the dead are walking around, each heading for their own specific target. Something is definitely wrong her--will her hut be safe enough?
@Nallore: The minute Sam starts to walk off, she can hear the heavy sound of gunfire. One of the cops screams at her to get down, as a scene seemingly out of the Walking Dead appears before her. At least five corpses (and the specified one above) are running towards them, the bullets hardly stopping them. One of the bullets narrowly misses Sam, as she remains in the line of fire. Maybe it's time to take shelter in the cafe?
@Lady Amalthea: How considerate, Jessica does just that! And then she gets up, brushes herself off, and starts heading off to an unknown location. However, a bucket filled with hot dogs, a basket of wine, and a small note saying "We need to talk - Lucy" appear in front of her. It's almost like a peace offering, and the blood on the ground has remained frozen in place, the light show over. The glass windows shattered in the entire process, but Amy doesn't have a scratch on her. It's almost like the devil is protecting her...
@Lady Amalthea: It's Cecily again, and she's frantically holding up a thing of sunscreen, and a lighter. A
woman keeps on coming at Cecily, armed with a lengthy knife. The idea, of course, is to create a flamethrower. At seeing Danica, Cecily swears a bit under her breath, as if this is her penance. And of course, Danica's own friend isn't too far behind.
@BlueSky44: The coordinator looks a bit heartbroken, when she explains. Seems that most of the parents are dead, tried to go to work and were found slaughtered in the woods, just like the others. These are the children of those who commute to Seattle each day for work, orphaned by the apocalypse. However, the sob story cannot last forever. Zachary's own new "friend" has just arrived...
@BlueSky44: Yeah, maybe Kat should've stayed put. She ends up walking right into her new "friend" and it's a bit of a shocking experience, to say the least. There's no one around to help her, looks like she's going to have to take care of this on her own. Maybe if she screams someone will hear her, but will anyone really come at this point? That's the real question.
@Pundii: Aloise's eyes widen slightly, and she shakes her head a bit. She isn't one for big displays of emotion, so she merely checks the rounds in her gun, and mentally goes through the list of items she brought with her to Altsoba. Sariel, meanwhile, tackles Liam to the ground. Aloise and Liam's visitors are here, and they aren't looking to have a fun time.
@Pundii: Jade still isn't talking very much, but that might be the fact that she's currently involved in a fight to the death. Howard's corpse doesn't seem to be coming back, and Darren's own friend isn't far behind. There's nothing else for the two of them to truly find in the home, relating to the angel blade, at least. I'm sure there could be some of Howard's more private collections in the basement, however...
@Pundii @Lady Amalthea:
Mercurial comes down the stairs reluctantly, hardly blinking an eye at the mess in the kitchen. Seeing her parents the way they were, however, Mercurial gives a very slight face of disgust--and for her, that says a lot. Very calmly, she opens the door, letting the newly risen dead come inside. "We have company, mother, father."
