The idea with there being a apocalyptic radio station kinda reminds me of Fallout, in which there is a radio station what just plays old timey music.

Also the GM's name.

Good post btw! :)

Any suggestions on where I should bring Jason in at?

So a quick note. My character removed his mask (which I wasn't originally intending to do, but I like the new direction). I realise I don't have an appearance for him in my CS, so the deal is that this is like a rare opportunity. Only Ellie (Monster's character) will know what he looks like, and I won't be giving a description, so I fully intend to use the mask as my main appearance. Hope that clears up any possible confusion.

That's cool, Scotsman, interesting idea! Just make sure Monster doesn't lose who she is with all that power...

Yeah, I think Lance will play some old timey music but the broadcast from Chicago is just the invite message on loop. Imagine listening to Galaxy News Radio in the Walking Dead's version of Chicago... Killing walkers to the sound of Ella Fitzgerald!

Ellie seems lovely, if that's any consolation.

Kill them. Kill them and take their loot. That is the law of the zombie apocalypse.

LOL yes!!!

Scotsman, soon, we'll be popping walkers to this:

The Ink Spots & Ella Fitzgerald - I Still Feel The Same About You

I've finally caught up with everyone's scenarios! It's as joyous to rp as it is to read the tales of different characters in the universe. So many good moments! Ellie and Metro's hilariously awkward conversation, Kylie's innocence being tested in the face of overwhelming danger, Woodrow freaking dying (not cool Syrian, he would have been the bestie of at least one of my characters ;___;), Aldo and Arlo's endearing Rocky and Mugsy-like dynamic and Marcus' disbelief at Joe managing to get himself and Haleigh all the way to Chicago and then back to Danville because he lost the map made me lose my shit.

Good stuff, everyone!

You do realise that this radio station idea has to happen now? No excuses. Thanks, Monster is a pro roleplayer, I have to hand it to her.

I really hate to do this... but I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out, as there's already 87 IC posts and the story has already begun to develop. I'm sorry. Have fun guys!

[threedawg]

A lot of those are double posts cos the server was freaking out but fine :(

Next time D makes a post with Lance, I'll have a bunch of old timey songs he can choose from!

In the hopes of dissuading you, there is not story yet. Individual scenario's, six already, all leading to Chicago, none of which have really connected so nothing has really been lost. Although it is your choice.

[threedawg]

That's a good point. Right now, everyone's working on character development; the overall plot hasn't really progressed at all.

I've been thinking of adding scenario synopses to the OP for any new entrants who don't feel like reading everything. In my opinion, they're missing out but we've collectively written a third of a novel so yeah.

I actually considered compiling these posts into an ordered word document, for private use of course. Everyone has been writing really well, and I haven't been bored to tears by anything :)

I'll write you a summary for Scenario 3, that way all you'll have to do is put it somewhere. By the way, Scenario 3 is moving locations - I've kept the scenario number, but just updated the relevant details on my little hider at the top of my posts. That cool? Or do you want unoccupied scenarios left for others to venture into? Lemme know either way and I'll get it done.

[threedawg]

Moving into another location and keeping the scenario number is totally fine with me. Also, I appreciate you writing the summary! It's a daunting task writing summaries for such well-developed and intricate scenarios... we might as well be in the advanced section with the way everyone has been rp'ing! Think I'm gonna shorten my posts a little from now on though...

Agh, you're too kind, seriously.

My next post should be up soon, I'm hoping in the next two hours. Whoop!

Also, you don't need to worry about me too much, threedawg. Though....I do hear the dark side has some great cookies.

Sorry, I get all squee-ey when I get something good going with another RPer. Yay! This makes me happy.

What in the name of Holy Mooseknuckles is going on... We have our OP, threedawg, and our new guest, ThreeDawgFO3... This has to be a conspiracy or something, way too coincidental.

[ThreeDawgFO3]

Lol I was thinking the same thing
