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

I'll get something on tonight. A day of running, prayer, and realizing that there is nothing I can about what happened is a solid plan of attack. It'll be all-right just VERY disappointed in something a family member did...still love them...but VERY disappointed in their actions.

Anyway though...I'll have something up sometime tonight...that's a promise.

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

I'll post hopefully tomorrow....I just got my world rocked on a personal level....and it ain't good.

Jon smiled at the recognition by Wesley and said, "Why thank you the feeling is mutual. Seen some of your more recent work it's quite impressive."

Jon signaled for the waiter and once he arrived Jon said, "A 7 & 7 please on the rocks and make it a double." Jon knew his limits and a double would be enough to be sociable, but not to the point that he would be a falling down drunk. Besides he remembered the sage wisdom of his friend Harvey about the police being out this evening. It wouldn't be a surprise if many were sitting just a block or two down waiting for people to come out of the party.

When Wesley mentioned "Bound By Blood" Jon had to use have nerve in his body to keep from looking to Heaven and saying, "Thank You!" Jon nodded and said, "Yes it looks like the project is about to see the light of day and I as the producer will be very happy to finally see it come to life, but we still have one key role to cast that of Paddy Hutchinson. Once it gets cast we're ready to go. The studio wants Depp or Downey Jr for the part of Paddy Hutchinson, but I want to take different tact with it. While I realize that those two men will do justice to the role I'm worried about them overshadowing the part. I feel that in the hands of a young talented actor it could take their career to heights they never though of. Not to mention set them up in a viable franchise for at least three films."

Okay Jon make the pitch.

He leaned over to Wesley and Said, "You are my choice for the role. If you're interested let me have your cell number I will text you some lines. We'll find a place in the lobby, I'll tape you saying them, send them to the director, and we'll go from there. Everyone has given me the deadline of by noon tomorrow to get you on tape. If I don't get you on tape then I have to call Depp and he's not, no offense to him, my choice for the character. Are you interested?"

I just dropped 4 RPs in the last 24 hours...and this one is still around...I love it!

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

Once again Luke and Ryan were in one of "those" situations. A situation where they both wondered if this would be the day they pulled the pins on the grenades and went to the bright light. Luke took a quick look at the ankle and said, "Yeah it's sprained all-right. The worse case about this if you did any ligament damage. If you did it's long recovery all that being said."

Luke quickly went to a table and with his survival knife handle he broke off two parts of a table leg. He cut two strips of cloth from a nearby tapestry and brought it all to Ryan. Luke set the items in front of Ryan and said, "Splint it. You might not be able move as fast as usual, but at least you probably won't do any further damage and you can walk on it." Luke looked and saw that they were still safe, but they both knew that situation wouldn't last long.

Luke said, "I'll get my gear and we'll make our escape plan when I get back." Luke made his way down the hall to his shelter in the supply room . The door was still closed and quietly as he could Luke opened the door. Without even thinking he grabbed his gear and made his way back down the hall. Once he was back at the table Luke was already looking around and said, "One thing is for sure staying here is not an option, and if the noise did attract more we might wanna consider going sooner than later. The question is how do we get out of here as discreetly as possible? Not to mention if our scent is in the air we're screwed on every level by staying here."

Luke took a swig of his water and said, "Inspite of our current situation this beats the hell out of being with Candice." He let out a small chuckle and said, "Okay we need to think in terms of getting out of here, and a quick getaway at that." Luke began to scan the ballroom and said, "Doing a Bruce Willis 'Die-Hard' escape out the window doesn't thrill me." He then looked at the kitchen doors and smiled. Luke said, "We're in a ball room that is not on the ground floor." Ryan gave him a look as if to say, "What was your first clue genius?" Luke nodded and said, "Think about it. They had to use a service elevator in the kitchen more than likely to get stuff up here. Even if the elevator is out we can go down the cables and right out the loading dock, Hopefully no one is waiting for us down there, and if there is..." Luke tapped his coat pocket with his grenade and said, "You and I start playing a game of 'hot potato' until it goes boom."

Luke stood up and finished his water and grabbed his flashlight from his gear. He said, "I'll be back I'm gonna check the kitchen out." Luke went into the kitchen and began looking around. Once he found the elevator he grabbed a metal rod and forced the door open. Luke shined his light down the shaft and saw the elevator at the bottom. He made his way back to the table and grabbed a beer on the way, and one more for Ryan.

Luke placed the beer in front of Ryan and he sat back down. Luke opened his up and took a quick drink. He said, "Okay we have a way out, but the problem it's a long way down. Not to mention without any protection for our hands by the time we get to the bottom our hands will look like hamburger meat." Luke looked around and then walked over to the wall and began pulling down many pieces of the tapestry. He brought them back to Ryan and said, "Let's start tearing these into strips that we can wrap around our hands and hope for the best."

As Jon was busy putting on his Tux for the party this evening his phone rang. Jon saw the caller I-D read, "H. Kirshlight 555-9898." Jon shook his head and said, "It would be a shame if I had to start drinking before I got to the party." He rolled his eyes and said, "I guess begging for that planet killing asteroid to show up now is a little short notice,"

Jon let a heavy exhale and hit the speaker function on the phone as he continued to get dressed. He said, "Harvey. What's on your mind? Please make it quick I wanna be out the door in the next 10 minutes. Otherwise the bartenders at these parties have a tendency to get an attitude if you show up late and grouchy."

Harvey replied, "I talked to the studio for three hours after you left, and they want Downey Jr. or Depp for the role of Paddy Hutchinson. They're really sticking to their guns on this one JT. They say either or they might have to let the project go elsewhere."

As Jon was tying his shoes he shook his head and said, "I'm telling you Harvey I have the perfect actor in line for Paddy Hutchinson."

Harvey said, "I know I know you think it's Wesley Reed. Jon look the guy has talent no doubt about it, but face it he hasn't had to carry a picture like this and everyone still thinks of him Mr. March. Not to mention he is so method that it tore his family apart."

Jon rolled his eyes and said as he put on his cuff links, "Harvey this guy has the talent and the presence to pull off Paddy I know it. Besides Downey Jr is doing 'Avengers 2' and Depp does that accent people think Captain Jack is now a mobster. Not to mention they would over shadow the character I already agreed to Henry Cavil as Sean, Dame Helen Mirren as the mother, and Sir Anthony Hopkins as the father. He's not even in the movie that long the first 20 minutes and he's done in less than 2 weeks on set. Look Harvey will you trust me on this one. I went against the Warner Brothers to get Michael Westlake cast as Aquaman over Leonardo and now Westlake can send his two kids to any college in the world when they grow up. Not to mention the sequel starts filming next year. So will you trust me on this one?"

Harvey exhaled and said, "Tell you what if you can get Wesley to do a screen test just 5-6 lines. I don't care if you film it in a bathroom with a camera phone and you can get it to me by 12 pm tomorrow. I'll tell the studio to go with you on this. I'll back you up. If you don't get that footage by then you promise to let the studio call Depp."

Jon slipped on his jacket and said, "If I don't get the footage to you by noon tomorrow I will call him personally."

Harvey replied, "Fair enough. Have fun tonight and be careful the cops will be out tonight."

Jon smiled and said, "You got Harv. I'll talk to you later."

Jon shut off his phone and took one last look in the mirror. In a fake British accent he said, "Bond James Bond." Jon let a sizable laugh and left his house.

He arrived at the party in his sapphire blue Ferrari and as the valet took his car a reporter from "Entertainment Tonight" ran up to him. She said, "Jon...Mr Templeton." Jon stopped and said to the reporter, "Hey There Allie how are you? How are the kids?"

Allie Lynch replied, "Just fine Jon. Mind if we have a word with you."

Jon nodded and said, "Sure."

Allie motioned to her camera operator to start rolling. The camera operator gave her a thumbs up and she said, "Jon Templeton need to ask you 'Bound by Blood'; what's the status of it? You've been at this project for over 18 months."

Jon nodded and said, "Yeah feels a lot longer though. We have a script in place that everyone is happy with, our director is ready to go, and we got some very fine actors lined up for some key roles. We just need to find the right actor for Paddy and this thing is as good as in front of the camera."

Allie asked, "Any hints to whom you have in mind for Paddy?"

Jon put his finger to his mouth and said, "Shh can't say right now, but we have it down to three very good actors. We're sure no matter who we get we're gonna have a film that the fans and all those involved can be proud of. There should be an announcement in the next 2-3 days."

Allie nodded and said, "Thank you Jon." The camera operator nodded and Allie said, "Thanks Jon."

Jon replied, "My pleasure Allie."

Jon turned and headed into the party and saw Wes sitting at a table. Jon also saw that he was sitting at the same table and began to make his way to the table.

Oh I love my job!

Nothing to see here.

Restraint (MST3K 4ever & Starling)

I am slipping into a skin tight black spandex sweat suit and a pair of black running shoes at my office. The suit is telling me where I might want to consider losing some weight. Black spandex isn't the most forgiving item on the planet, but I don't care I'm ready to go out for the night. Everyone has their way of dealing with the way our world is. My parents plan out my future so it mirrors my older sister's life. A husband whose parents can help my parents either increase or keep their wealth, two kids, and a life that is so serene and plastic-feeling. I feel like I might lose my dinner just thinking about it.

I survived the day at work and once that was over I came home to get a shower. Not so much to clean off any physical dirt that I had, but it was more of a psychological thing. I had just made it sound like that the members of the Revolt were preparing to slaughter the entire dining hall at my parent's party, and that the police did what they had to do to keep order. That wasn't even close to what reality was. The reality was these people were just trying to survive, but that didn't fit the narrative of what those who are in-power want. Everyone praised my work and wondered how I was able to do it so effectively. I told them I just went with what I saw with my family which is more or less true. I saw something and just told it from the point of view of my family and not my own. There can be gray areas within the truth it's just a matter of what your point of view is.

Surviving the dinner at the club was a bit more difficult. Bradley kept trying to put his hand on my thigh under the table, and I think I should get an Oscar for smiling and looking as though I enjoyed it. I should get a medal for not slugging him in front of everyone and storming out. The conversation made me wish I was in a room full of howling wet cats. It had a lot to do with making sure that what was ours was protected against those who were "terrorists" and playfully teasing me about Bradley and I. None of it was about how I felt about all this or anything of substance concerning our society. Bradley tried to invite me back to his place after my work was done, but I told him I had "cramps." I didn't and I hate using that but in a lot of ways cramps are way more preferable to Bradley. Mom and Dad decide to stay with Collins longer I told them I had some research to catch up on at the office, and that's again more or less true. I'm researching the Revolt, and how to join up with them and that isn't going to happen sitting here in an office. I always keep workout gear in my office in case I feel the need to burn off some stress,, and luckily because of my position in this office I have a private shower and entrance/exit as well.

I slip out of the building and once outside I slip into the sewer system. Within minutes I am in a part of town that again my mom would last 10 minutes in. I slip out of the sewer and begin to walk around. Just then I see a mob charging towards me, and I see the police in pursuit. I stand off to the side and then join the running. I figure if nothing else i can slip in with them and maybe learn a few things.

Just then the police have another section closed off. I dash down an alley off of Pearl & Phillips Street and without even thinking I dive into a dumpster and close the lid. On the bright side once the action outside dies out I can sneak off to my office and get a shower, but sadly this outfit is gonna have to be destroyed. Bummer...I really like it too,

[This Roleplay Is Closed] - Snow White, Rose Red

Elise had already left, but Edwin was already smiling somewhat. He found the right chord to strike with Elise which was treat her as an adult and be honest, but more important the "Joe Friday" routine wasn't going to fly with her either. Bottom line just be real and know that she has a right to get angry.

He came down the stairs and heard a name and then the words "ask some questions." Edwin didn't hear anything else he knew what was going on and what was about to happen, and that was enough to make Edwin roll his eyes before he was in sight of the reporter. Edwin stopped and looked at Lyn and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble and pain I caused you. Know this though I will do everything I can to help you and your sister. I promise."

As Edwin approached the door Alexis recognized him from a case he had just finished solving, and that already put him at a disadvantage. She knew him and Edwin didn't know a thing about her except the fact that she was a reporter who was trying to get into the house. Edwin was worried about a lot of things at the moment. One this upsetting Lyn even more than she already was. Two he says the wrong thing this destroys the very fragile trust he was forming with Elise. Three Edwin was not in the mood to deal with the press. The one time he dealt with someone directly in the press was right after the Twilight case, and it ended with the Department P-R Division writing out an apology for Edwin to read and a settlement after he decked a reporter on live TV.

Edwin nodded and replied, "I read it nicely done. All that being said it's safe to say that this is not a good time to talk with Miss Williams. She is still dealing with what has happened, and I am in the midst of an on-going investigation. If you want to know anything else you should talk to the Public Relations department at City Hall. As for me all I will say at this time is 'no comment'. Feel free to quote me on that. Now I have a strong suspicion that if you do not leave very quickly Miss Williams will become most distressed, and that will lead to a scene that none of us want to have. If there is anything to report on I will make sure that the Public Relations department is contacted."

Edwin's demeanor shifted from "police PR 101" voice to his "real" voice as he said, "You would be well advised to leave the premises at this time. Otherwise Miss Williams will be well within her rights to have cited for Trespassing, and I will support her all the way." He looked at Elise and gave her a nod of assurance.

Edwin tapped his handcuffs and said to Alexis, "It's your call Miss Dawson."

Fair enough. I've waited this long....I'll be here.
