The Walking Dead : What's Left

I am, but I'm also at uni right now doing some studying as well. Sorry I'm taking so long.

The Walking Dead : What's Left

Out of curiosity, should we be heading to the hospital? Most everyone is there already, and it's only our small splinter group that's been divided. Would that be beneficiary or would everyone prefer the groups meet up somewhere else?

The Walking Dead : What's Left

I should have a post up soon.

The Walking Dead : What's Left

Eh on second thought I don't think my characters or myself are really in the mood to deal with kiddy payback. She'll probably just pass some stern words and then they'll head on their way.

Also on second thought I'll wait to give both Xeno and Apoalo a chance to post before I put anything down.

Shisa you don't mind if Selina slaps Luanne, do you? Also hopefully Xeno won't mind if I go on and post before her?

In the comics it says at first 'they' (the government) were telling everyone to get together at schools and churches where they could be easier protected. Maybe we should all meet up like that.

Boy I haven't read those in a while. I think its times to refresh my memories. On the other hand I think that's a great idea. Maybe we could meet at a church or the university.

Out of curiosity, what direction should the pharmacy group take after escaping said pharmacy? Would we for some reason head to the hospital or will the groups be meeting at an intermediate point beyond either the pharmacy or the hospital?

I think you did a great job :), it opened things up for the plot to advance so awesome! Oh and good luck on your midterm :).

Thanks for the good luck wishes Shields. Hopefully I did okay on it today.

Great! X3I have but one question before I do so, how long since the outbreak happened in this RP? =3 it will help for my character's background, I already have everything else for the CS finished =3

We're not very far into the outbreak Nac. It's just recently started and many of our characters start their posts with the deaths of loved ones, or sudden attacks by reanimated corpses. All in all most of our losses have only just recently begun.

EDIT: I'm actually not sure about an exact time frame, so if that's what you're looking for, I apologize if this doesn't help you.

The Walking Dead : What's Left

I posted :) Hopefully everyone else will take lead and escape out back. Honestly, I kind of had to rush it down as today studying (for my midterm tomorrow) is a little more important, but I did my best. I didn't have my characters step out the doors just yet, since there are still people left, and I can't just have David go to Callum and then abandon him, so I did my best to make an intermediate sort of post where they're almost out but not quite.

The Walking Dead : What's Left

Selina and Kate

"Oh god, no," Kate kept chanting over and over again, while Selina ushered her backwards with her body. They had been keeping up alright, the two of them, but it was getting hard, and an escape would have been welcome. It was difficult to absorb the activities of their surroundings, but from what Kate had been able to grasp, one of the girls was heading to the back of the pharmacy, while the other was trying to hold her own against another walker. She couldn't see the boy, but she could see her brother wildly attacking another zombie.

"We have to get out of here," Selina said, pushing Kate towards the back of the pharmacy, following whichever one of the twins had taken her chance to make an escape.

"What about David," she snapped, struggling to reach for her brother who looked to be in a daze, "Snap out of it, David!"

David

"Snap out if David!" David could hear his sister screaming at him, sounding aggravated with him again, like when they were kids. Aggravation, with just a touch of hysteria. Blinking confusedly, he began to slowly back away from the decapitated corpse at his feet. Killing had never really been a hobby of his prior to this apocalyptic shit, and now that he thought about it, it would have never really suited him anyway.

He was more of a business man, made for fancy suits, and mathematics. That's what he had been studying for anyway. A look in the mirror and a self-assessment had told David everything he had ever needed to know about himself when he was a teenager; tall, but not too tall, fit, but not athletic, sassy, but not aggressive. An average man, with average goals. He was supposed to graduate, get a job, keep going to college, meet a girl, get married, have kids...the whole done deal.

Instead, he had gone to bed and woken up in an unending nightmare.

David gasped as something warm, heavy, and wet thudded into his back, before falling to the ground by his feet. Turning around, he flinched as he was greeted with the severed head of another walker whose chin had collapsed inward from the force of something bashing into it. Following the splattered and winding trail of blood that had leaked from the zombies head as it had been tossed (or really catapulted) to David lead him to the kid again. You know which kid. The boy kid. The one who had come in holding some kind of case that David was unfamiliar with. And David was unfamiliar with a lot of things these days, so that really said nothing about what was inside of the case.

"Shit," he grumbled under his breath, running towards the kid, "You, okay?" He asked between looking to check for walkers approaching them, and looking for his sister and Selina. They were at the back of the pharmacy, both waving to him frantically. Selina seemed to be trying to catch the attention of the remaining twin, but looked hesitant to leave Kate to provide support for the girl. Kate would be upset with her later. Upset for leaving David behind, upset for not helping the girls. But David understood why Selina was doing it, and honestly didn't blame her. He would have protected his sister, too.

"Come on kid, let's go," he whispered urgently, trying not to attract the attention of any more walkers.

Selina

"There's a back entrance!" Selina shouted to the remaining members of their unofficial, abruptly put together, group. She looked apprehensively at a few approaching walkers who had been aroused by her making noise. They were ambling along slowly now, but she had experienced first hand what it was like to get up close and personal with one. It's like their victims sent them into a frenzy, allowing them, even if it was just for moment, to attack with almost normal speed.

"We have to go," Selina said sternly, watching tears begin to trickle down Kate's face. The back entrance was just a few feet away from them. Almost freedom was almost in their grasp. Almost. Looking back, she could see David begin to move in their direction. Whether or not the kid was following was none of her concern, but she hoped he was. Being selfish was hard, and after all, he was just a kid. A small kid. His chances of surviving were worse than theirs.

"Look he's making his way to us," she said in relief, hoping Kate would allow Selina to drag her to the back entrance now.
