[IC] Advanced Composition Period 6: Zombie Apocalypse

[IceSolstice]

[Irene]

"Nope. Microphone stands are too unwieldy for me. Why didn't you take a hockey stick? Plus there will be knives in the kitchen--you can upgrade the hockey sticks later with those.
Seeing no more zombies, Irene walks over to the cafeteria doors. After several seconds, she unlocks the door and motions to Matt to come over.

[Travis]
Travis looks up from reading his book at the collapse of calm in the drama room
"Alright, everyone keep quiet I'm gonna try to get the the band room and see if anyone is there,Kyle and Jake, head for the prop room and see what you can come up with, Rebecca, head to the choir room and get them over here."

He heads to the band room door and picks the lock open
Good thing I brought my pliers with me today

s*** no one is here
He takes his phone out.
Let's see if I can get through to anyone, but somehow I doubt it
He dials Matt.

[Mattie_]

[Matt]

He hurries over to Irene, peering left and right into the darkness in case there were more hungry dead waiting. "Hockey sticks are even worse, not sharp or heavy enough to hurt them. At least I can stab with this. Let's go." Irene and Matt enter the cafeteria. The tables were all stood up in rows in the center of the cafeteria as usual, but in the darkness they now resembled some sort of sinister forest.

In a whisper, Matt says to Irene "Let's just go, the sooner we get weapons the better.

Matt's phone vibrates in his pocket. He sets his pole down and answers it, wondering who it was. Travis? Hello?

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
"Matt, I'm over in the band room with about twenty plus people between the choir room and the drama room. We are working with getting gear but I don't know how long the stage door is gonna hold. We are going to need a plan to get people together and try to make a run for supplies if we are going to stay alive...hold on a sec..."
Travis hears a bump behind him and looks by the drum sets
Why is it always the last place I look
"Adam what the heck are you doing hitting the drum, do you want to get us all killed?"

[Cardshot]

[adam]

"shh travis be quiet! im disassembling it for parts, i have a plan but i need parts from the drum set."
ripping the rim off of the base drum and grabbing a cymbal Adam motions to Travis to move to the studio

[IceSolstice]

[Irene]

Irene goes over to the doors leading to the serving lines and unlocks it.
This is going to be hard to navigate without any light...
"Matt, can I use your cellphone as a flashlight once you're done with it?"

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
"Alright"
Travis move toward the studio and put's his phone up to his ear again
"Matt, I just found Adam and we are heading for the studio then we will try to reinforce the doors in the fine arts department and try to hold of any breaches on this side of the school until you can get a group over here. Until then, Good Luck."
He hangs up and enters the studio with Adam.

[Mattie_]

[Matt]

"Okay. I'm with a small group of about 10-15 in the media center, but a few of us just left to scavenge the cafeteria. Hopefully we can obtain food, water, and weapons there. Cya." Matt hangs up and turns the iPhone flashlight on before handing it to Irene. Good to hear that Travis and was that Adam? are still alive, if on the other side of the school. Matt goes into the cafeteria first, since Irene would have trouble fighting while also holding the flashlight.

After a cursory glance around the kitchen, they find nothing, living or dead. Unsurprising, since the staff should have locked up and gone home already.

[Cardshot]

[Adam]
Adam points toward a small table at the end of the room "all of our left over bits from junk funk are here. we have 2x4's, hammers, and anything else we might need"
Adam grabs a pair of ball peen hammers and a few drum clamps and lets Travis look through the bits

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
Travis grabs a 2x4 and hefts it
very nice for a barricade
"If only we had reliable power, then ...wait, why am I so stupid, the shop has stuff we can use too!"
Travis grabs another 2x4 and nods for Adam to open to the doors for him

[IceSolstice]

[Irene]

Irene searches through the various containers and finds several knives, lots of snacks, and can-bottles of the 'reverse osmosis aerated water' (H2O). She opens a cherry flavored one and drinks it. Turning to the snacks, she opens several of the bags and eats them all.
So hungry....
"Fudge. We forgot to bring bags to carry all of this stuff."

[Cardshot]

[Adam]
heaving a 20 inch cymbal over his shoulder, and placing the two hammers in his belt Adam reluctantly heaves open the studio door and follows Travis

[Mattie_]

[Matt]

Since it was rather dark in the kitchen, Matt heads into the office on the left side of the room. After fumbling through a few drawers, he finds a small flashlight and flicks it on and off a few times experimentally. Sweet! He sets down the pole and goes through the rest of the kitchen, searching for weapons, water, and then food in that order. Matt finds a heavy, solid meat cleaver to use as his main weapon. He also pockets two straight knives as backups. We really should have brought a bag... Matt collects a balanced meal of water, bread, and the snacks and sits down against the wall to take a nice break and eat. There's quite a bit of food and water here, this could tide us over for a while... But not the entire school, no way.

"Irene, we need to realistically think about how long this will last us, and how many people we'll allow access to it. It'll be gone in a day if we try to feed everyone..."

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
As Travis nears the band room door, he hears screams coming from the hall
He puts down the wood and looks out the door
"Ok...change of plan, the shop is not gonna work out as a source of gear for the time being...lets go meet up with Matt, unless you are felling unnaturally lucky..."

[Cardshot]

[Adam]
"best we dont take risks, we might be able to take one but if we meet any more i dont know how we'd fare lets find the others"

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
Travis picks up the 2x4s
"Lets go then and hope we didn't just get trapped"
He heads for the other door

[IceSolstice]

[Irene]

"Which means we have a time limit for securing the entire school. After that's done, we can arrange people to go to Giant or something. And we feed the people who can help with our progress."
Irene reaches for another bag of chips and devours it.
"We need to stem the flow of zombies. I suspect the breach is at MST down, but we'll need materials to barricade it."

[Mattie_]

[Matt]
"I guess that makes sense. Hmm the only place we'd get real powertools is at the shop all the way by drama. There'd also be actual wood we can bar the breach with. The only problem is getting there and back in one piece, and stopping anything else from getting through the breach in the process. Meh, I guess this knife will suffice for me. I'll call Travis, see if he can get his hands on power tools and supplies to block the breach."

Matt pats his pocket before remembering Irene has his phone. "Phone plox?

[IceSolstice]

[Irene]

"Nu."
Irene refuses to give the phone back.
"We might want to head to the art room or the front office first. For duct tape. And then go back to the media center and then meet up there with everyone else."
Irene then hands the cellphone back to Matt.

[Lone_Eagle21]

[Travis]
Travis hears a muffled explosion that seems to be in the direction of the stage door
today is not my lucky day is it...
He looks at Adam with a pained expression
