Wayne

The Walking Dead: Los Angeles

I wish I could take this creative block and throw it off a fucking cliff.

Leaving this here just in case Digli didn't get my PM.

Since I'm having trouble thinking of what to post, I'll leave it to Digli writing about finding Wayne's camp ransacked and desert, and needing to track down Wayne if he wants to join up with him.

Wayne stood mouth agape at the sight of all the walkers. He couldn't think of an answer to where Paul went. He had no clue. It was truly frightening how a bunch of slow, dumb, and decomposing corpses could just suddenly appear in the dozens out of nowhere, even to someone like Wayne. Seconds mattered here, and Wayne had to decide. His arm was bandaged now, but what does he do now? Get Zeke and the others over to his small camp, or leave them to their fate? Wayne was grateful for being bandaged up, but at the same time Wayne knew the experience of someone helping him out only to turn on him as soon as he fell out of line. It was a hard decision. Would he leave Zeke to get munched by the walkers, or bring him over to his camp? Could he handle extra mouths to feed? Would the extra survivors open up his camp's position to other survivors and the walkers?

Wayne made the decision to bring Zeke over to his camp. Maybe he could trust people for once, but a gut feeling lingered about around the possibility of betrayal.

"Follow me!" shouted Wayne as he ran back into the shrubbery of the surrounding chapparal, back to his camp in Tenaja Canyon.

"Wayne."

Wayne shook Zeke's hand, giving it a tight grip. It felt weird to Wayne meeting people and shaking hands instead of having them veer away from him the moment they see him. Or smell him, for that matter. Speaking of smell, Wayne wondered what made the cougar attack him like that. He looked back at the big cat's body, and it looked like it was starved. Maybe the walkers were giving the animals a tough time too, scaring prey off. Wayne really wished he didn't have to go all berserk on it, but he had no choice. Best he could do now is take the cougar's body and put all the parts to some use. Besides meat for food, the fat could be used to make tallow, and the tallow to make soap and candles. The sinews could be used to make thread, the bones for simple tools and for broth, and the pelt for clothing and leather.

"Hey, we should bring the cougar's body to the safehouse. Not good to waste a whole animal like that."

"I'm fine!" replied Wayne. "Not so sure about the cougar though," said Wayne, glancing down at the dead animal before him.

Then the reality of the situation came to him. Wayne wanted to get back to his camp. But at the same time he wanted to get the cuts on his arm fixed up. His camp was about 4 miles back, while the survivor's had their camp just right up the road from where he was. Join the survivors or try and make it back to his camp? Wayne hated people, but at the same time now that they were aware of him - assuming they weren't already aware of him snooping around here - they could easily track him back to his camp. This was most certainly about picking the lesser of two unfavorable decisions on Wayne's part. Wayne thought that maybe he could just let the survivors bandage him up and then go back to his camp, but he reminded himself about them probably being able to track him now. His final decision: join up with the survivors, and maybe they wouldn't be too pissed with him spying on them, assuming they already knew he was doing that.

"Argh! Son of a motherfuck... fine. I'll tag along."

Wayne then started walking alongside the survivors.

"Sounds like you muchachos had a nice landing back there," commented Wayne on the fact that two of them looked like they just freshly escaped the nearby plane crash. "Were you guys going to Camp Pendleton, or did things go south there too?"

Wayne observed the 3 survivors making their way to the survivor base. Two of them looked like they were military pilots. One of the military pilot-types seemed to be wounded, and was being carried along. Wayne could have sworn there might have been another survivor in that mix somewhere, but no. Just 3 of them. Either one of them got killed out there or Wayne was losing it a bit. Either way, it didn't look like he was going to take anything from the nearby camp the survivors set up. Too risky. Now to get out of this house without being seen. Might have to wait around a bit.

While waiting for the survivors to pass, Wayne looked around the house a bit. All the food was gone, and most of the furniture had already been taken by the survivor group nearby to fortify their base. All he was able to find was a plastic bag and some shards of glass... wait. Wayne thought for a moment. Perhaps he could use the plastic bag and shards of glass for stealthy kills if he needed to. Cover some unlucky bastard's face with it and shake them around. But then Wayne thought a little more. Nah, wouldn't be a good weapon. The best they would do is cut up somebody's face a bit, and the shards of glass would probably rip through the bag and make it useless for suffocation. Besides, he already had his hatchet.

Wayne, forgetting to check to see if the survivors had passed, went out of the house. But just as he did, a bit of rustling came from some bushes nearby. And before Wayne could react to it, a cougar came sprinting out of it and it pounced on Wayne. The large cat scratched Wayne's right arm, leaving some nasty cuts, and Wayne yelled out in a mixture of pain and anger. Now that he was really pissed off, he tackled the cougar to the ground, putting it in a chokehold while he got his hatchet out. And he hacked away at the cougar's face, leaving it a bloody pulp by the time he was done.

Wayne got up, panting heavily and seemingly ignorant of the wound he had on his arm, which was bleeding a fair bit. Wayne needed some bandages, which he had at his camp in Tenaja Canyon, but at the same time his berserker-like yelling and rage with the cougar attack was bound to attract the attention of the survivors nearby, and maybe even some walkers too if he was having a really bad stroke of shit luck.

@Darcs and TWcross

That was fucking brilliant. I love tension between player characters. Nice job!

Now for me to dick around with my map and write up a quick IC post.

EDIT:

Done and done. That took a bit longer than I expected.

Who wants to help me be entirely original and make a fun RP? Yaaay!

Some sort of retro-future where the world culturally got stuck in the 1980s, kinda like with the pre-2077 Fallout world and the 1950s. Brick-sized cell-phones alongside advanced robots and energy weapons, and cyberpunk metropolises overtowering massive slums. Something of an exaggeration of the 1980s while also having a tinge of logical speculation in there somewhere, with the Cold War between the USA and USSR still ongoing, and with China and Japan entering the big geopolitical scene as well.

If not that, try a semi-reversed WWII where Russia ended up becoming an extreme-right racist dictatorship hellbent on conquest like Nazi Germany, and Germany ended up becoming an industrial giant and the prime communist power in the world like the Soviet Union. Also make China what Japan was like in our history, and vice versa for Japan being this alternate history's China. You could also take this a step further and make this an alternate cold war, with Communist Germany or Nazi Russia.
