Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

FinalCath - I'm always game to talk about stuff with characters, plot and scheme. I'll be in touch more later.

AnriuSB - immunity means that A: the char cannot be infected at any point so B: they will never turn. If they are bit, they will not turn and if they die, they will not rise.

The liquor store. Let's call it... Dominic's Gas 'N Go.

Shiver - I approved the stuffs.

Canoli, Shiver, FinalCath and everyone else. ALL CS's should be approved AND POSTED! If you're missing let me know.

I posted this before about my characters Jon and Harris, please read if you haven't.
"One interesting, very important thing I want to stress to people is the dynamic between Jon and Harris (and maybe everyone else). Some of you know this from the last RP, and since Jon hasn't changed much, you do not need to be told really. But those new to Jon, I'll say a few things. He has a very secret and unique past. According to his profile, he works with the CIA, which is correct. He's not a field or counter-intel agent or anything, but he still has training.

Jon is...difficult to gauge. He will do things that he thinks are right, for the benefit of himself and others. Now because he knows it's necessary and right, he will almost never justify his actions. He considers himself above reproach to a degree, but it's also that if something makes sense to him in a survival sense, he assumes (often incorrectly) that the reason for his actions are OBVIOUS, and everyone else should see that. And if they do not, it's not his fault.

Enter Harris. He's a very smart, charismatic person and he's very intelligent at reading people. As good as he is at all that, he's even better at manipulating people. Now this does not mean that Harris will lie or con people (although he may), it's more that he can convince people to see his side of a two sided scenario. If it's him VS someone else in a debate, he has the uncanny ability to smooth talk others to his side.

Please keep this in consideration when you are reading his posts, because in this environment and with us being able to see behind the scenes, Harris is very easy to hate and Jon easy to like.

But some players have trouble discerning what they read between what their character SEES.

Please be cognizant of this. As wormy and conniving as Harris is, a LOT of that is because he lines his arguments, or even his lies, with pieces of the truth. And on top of that, he believes it. Hearing a lie from someone who believes it to be the truth is almost the same as hearing the truth, and that is convincing.

Keep that dynamic in mind. I am not saying "your char has to hate Harris and like Jon" or the other way around. But base your character's view of them on what they can view, and their personalities, not what you think of either of them."

Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

In regards to LETTER E, the food store and medical storage. Floors 1 and 2 are lost and have a number of infected. The stairway is mildly blocked, but the hallway going towards the stairs to the floors below are PACKED full of stuff in a fairly secure barricade, AND the actual doors are locked.

To get to the floors below, they will have to removes those barricades.

Last, there are stairs going up to the roof, where there is a helicopter with VERY little fuel. Enough to take off, get about 1/10th a mile away and land, or crash.

There also may or may not be 10 to 20 infected up there....

Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

Hey, everyone. A few things:
A: I'm gunna be catching up today, maybe tonight, but as of tonight, anyone who's "in" will have their char's posted in the CHARACTER OVERFLOW THREAD.
B: I accepted 2 late entries based on looking at a few things about them. I trusted they'd fit in nice and all that. So Canoli and FinalCatharsis are in.
C: This question was brought up several times, a few times indirectly. In regards to the CDC Survivors, Officially, they start with NO GEAR!! However, they SHOULD, once aware of the situation (which will be revealed in my first live/current IC post), they'd most likely strip their rooms and stuff, and make ready for the trip.
D: Hand in hand with the above, there is an armory, but Bradley locked it. Whoever goes through his stuff (I'd assume Jon, since he's over him and would do it almost immediately), will find a key card giving them access and they'll find the following:
#20 9mm glocks
#5 12 gauge 870 Remington tactical shotguns (8 round capacity, 9 if shell is chambered)
#25 18 round extended magazines for the glocks, loaded.
#75 18 round extended magazines , empty.
#15 boxes of 9mm ammo, 75 rounds per box.
#15 boxes of birdshot shotgun shells.
#15 boxes of 00/SG shotgun shells.
#20 survival/pilot's knives. These are a single piece of metal, so unlikely to break/snap. The bottom can be unscrewed to reveal a compass, 5 waterproof matches, a magnesium strip and 3 water purification pills.
#30 empty plastic canteens.
#30 empty ILBE pack systems

ILBE SYSTEM

E: All CDC rooms are laid out the same, with the following exception. On the second floor, where the 3rd floor armory is, there is a FOOD STORAGE room. On the first floor, there is an office with medical supplies.
F: There was some confusion about the infection. So here is a nutshell version. People can be infected but show no "real" signs for several hours, up to 36 hours. In that time, they may show slight flu-like symptoms, but they are HIGHLY contagious in every manner of speaking. After that, they start to get dramatically worse until they die. At this point, it can be 15 minutes to several hours before the corpse reanimates. At this point, the ONLY way to spread the infection is via bite/saliva.

G: Last, I plan to kick this RP off NO LATER THAN NEXT SUNDAY, 3/16. Get your shit right in the meantime!

Last, H or whatever, if there is something unclear, or you want to work something out, please ask.

The stark differences in posts, with perspectives and character thoughts, actions and mentalities is very interesting to me. I'm gunna be working on a post myself tomorrow. Just not sure whose....

Also, flashbacks are not like, REQUIRED. They're more of a way for you to sate your RP hunger while not getting ahead in the RP.

How's everyone tonight?

AnriuSB -off the top of my head, l don't have any issues with that. When you actually start posting, if something doesn't seem right, I'll let you know.

Go Red Wings.

Quiet in here today....

Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

Yes. Past events. If it's a "flashback" I'd expect the "current" action to be something like

Azseth is laying down on a log, starting up at the night sky. He closed his eyes and relaxed, then <flashback>.

Something like that.
