Invasion of the Zombies - Game Thread

[heretic]

heretic runs screaming about the mall. "Gah! Everyone help barricade! We need to keep them out! It's a good thing I played so much Urban Dead before the outbreak!"

The bald man shoves some cafeteria tables against the doors, reinforcing the crude barricades.

[Helgraf]

"Ugh... ugh. We're going to need provisions and stuff in order to hold out here for long. Wish me luck."

Helgraf goes looking for provisions

[Eldritch Knight]

We will need food. I'll go with you.

Looking for Provisions

[Helgraf]

heretic runs screaming about the mall. "Gah! Everyone help barricade! We need to keep them out! It's a good thing I played so much Urban Dead before the outbreak!"

The bald man shoves some cafeteria tables against the doors, reinforcing the crude barricades.

((So heretic, _which_ are you doing - helping with the barricades, or looking for supplies? Your colour is the supplies colour, but your action is the barricades.))

[Orzel]

I need a weapon
or some chemicals
or some pizza

Looking for supplies

[Draken]

What would be more important? To ensure safety, or to get suplies...

Safety is more important now works on barricades.

[Skippy]

((I've got two questions:

1. Do I have to select one people to protect every day? Does it count as my point, do I have to point besides treating someone?

2. Do I have to treat someone who has already been pointed at, or do I have to select someone right away for protection?))

[Rinquist]

A man with dark skin, in his mid 30's, with a medium build and wearing a tan jacket, jeans and a trucker cap approaches the barricades.

As if my month wasn't going badly enough, now I gotta deal with covert bastards that actually WANT to be eaten ...

You've got the right idea, Draken.

Rinquist lights a cigarette and gets to work on the barricades

Helping With Barricades

[Freshmeat]

Looking for supplies.

[banjo1985]

A scruffy kid in a red bandana stands up from behind a secure part of the barricades, blowing huge pink bubbles with his gum. He's no more than 14, and wears a red sports coat, and worn jeans. He seems quite unflustered by the zombie attack of the nigt before.

He walks into the middle of the surviors and his face breaks out into a huge grin.

"This is so COOL! Just like Shaun of the Dead! My names Red, by the way, I was working in my uncles hardware store when the zombies came. We gotta find something to protect ourselves, and I need some more gum, this is my last stick!"

Red goes to the nearest convenience store, looking mainly for some gum, also a shotgun, but thats secondary!

[Almighty Salmon]

The mall's Janitor is sitting with his back against the wall near the barricades. He looks old and broken spirited but suprisingly calm.

"In all my 25 years of working here never have i seen anything like this.. Vandalism, Assaults, Riots you name it! But.. Zombies? What is the world coming to?

Anyway, i suppose we had better start protecting ourselves. Luckily i've played enough dead rising in my time to become quite the expert! Oh, my names Jerry by the way. Yes Jerry the Janitor don't make a big deal out of it..

Jerry starts Helping With Barricades.

[huyneo]

omgomg notmanypeoplearehelping thebarricades!!!!!
rushes over to help the barricades

[Korias]

Korias, done examinignt he shody structure, heads out to stuff his pack full of various things to help construct the cades with.
If theres a Resident evil game out there, I've played it. Feh. Zombies? Now they have a pie-o-mancer on their side. Bugger. He says, stuffing some random objects into his overly giant backpack.

[Ezlo]

An old slightly roughed up looking man with a big white beard wakes up from his nap on the bench. He takes a look at the commotion going on. Once he figures out the situation he grumbles.

"Back in my day we didn't have Zombies. No we had to walk 15 miles uphill, both ways to the hardware store, in the snow so we could get the materials to MAKE our own Zombies. You kids don't know how darn lucky you are.

He starts to wander through the stores, looking for stuff to take.

[Alarra]

(Tired and running late, will add rp later...)

For now...Alarra works on the barricades

[Fleeing Coward]

Must eat brains...janitor has brains?

The Cowardly Zombie walks around looking for brains supplies.

[Freshmeat]

As people start bringing in scavenged goods or picking up materials to construct barricades, a large man, somewhere in his forties, suddenly speaks up.
He introduces himself as Freshmeat, since he doesn't want to bother explaining that his name is actually Shmert, and that he works for FEMA.
After all, it was unlikely people would appreciate exaggerated forms of anagrams. Not to mention that, between cultists and zombies, about the last thing people needed was someone with a German-sounding surname.

Now that he is in full view, it becomes clear that the man has a black eye (apparently yesterday wasn't a good idea to bring, oh, say, a zombie outfit for the costume party). The screaming had made him curious about what was going on, but the fists of a kind - though jumpy - civilian had brought him up to date. That, and pain.

"You sir," he says while pointing at Jerry (Almighty Salmon), "I strongly suspect you of sabotaging the barricades you supposedly were 'working on' just now!"

[Terumitsu]

(Seems some people are in an rp rut...
Work on the 'cades anyway untill I put it down...)

[androgial]

oh i agree i agree totaly with thinking that the almighty salmon may be responsible, i mean after all there was that whole mercury poisoning stuff going on and now this. Its just the thing youd expect a fish to pull to keep from being eaten.

[CurlyKitGirl]

"Wow. Geek fest 2007 sure has upped the stakes for next year. Real zombies! This is so - so - so super-special-awesome. I'd better get some food so I can read my zombie apocalypse book in piece." Curly runs past the GeekCon building in the Mall and goes to find some junk food, passing heretic on the way.
"Zombies! Zombies for the win!"

[Dr. Bath]

"Bah! Zombies! Ridiculous! It's all just some stunt by the 'media', probably some new 'energy drink' or something," shouts a stout man wearing a rather tatty tweed jacket and trousers, "Anyway, whatever is happening we better look after ourselves until the proper authorities arrive."

The man starts to work on the barricades, but just when everyone thinks that he's going to be quiet, the man continues, "Dr. Elgar Bath, by the way, and to think that I, a proffesor of microablutology is stuck in this terrible debackle! I have a PHD you know!"

[Therarde]

Some random guy with glasses looks around. So, this sucks. A lot. He shrugs and begins helping with the barricades.

[Skippy]

I am treating Verrukt today.

[Zar Peter]

Zar Peter looks around.

And I only wanted to buy some stuff for my wife... Oh, my god, why are such things always happening to me? OK, you there! Kid! Drop that gun! No wait, can you use it? You could help me!

ZP protects Banjo today

Hmm maybe Heretic is one of the cultists (pointing at Heretic)

[Korias]

After gathering a pack full of various odds and ends from a music store, Korias sits down in a corner and opens his trenchcoat-jacket, revealing an odd assortment of airsoft weaponry. Hey, I cant get a real gun! And besdies, these things are RE4 Replicas! Designed for Zombie-Decimating action! He says to an onlooker, pulling out a single-barrel shotgun. As he removes some other odds and ends, he begins to attach a variety of aiming devices, flashlights, springs, and a plethora of other odds and ends to the weapon. Finished, he begins to load the gun with a small amount of BBs, before taking one last look at it. Storing the weapon in his longcoat, he views the creatures beyond the barricades. This CANT be good...

[Carrion_Humanoid]

A young boy, with dirty brown hair stumbles from behind a table. He looks farely young, in his lower teen years. He wears a pair of khaki jeans, and a shirt with a obnoxious logo, probally 'This shirt is the bestest.' He recalls the past events and searches for supplies to add to the barricade.

Build the barracade(no. . . Im not a evil person!)

[Ezlo]

Ezlo slowly walks back from the food court and dental hygenists office with some ingredients for meatloaf, toothbrushes, model dentures and a some tin foil fashioned into a hat. He continues to mumble too himself:

Bah, Meatloaf! I HATE the stuff! But it's the only thing I can eat without my old dentures. Stupid thugs. Can't kids respect their elders these days? Friking kids. At least the goverment can't warp my mind with my helmet. And the aliens can't either. Bah! Stupid aliens. Back in the day they would only abduct cows! Mind controling the president is just not the way to go about things. But they're not getting me! Oh no! I got me tin foil hat! Now where did I leave my bench?

He finds "his" bench that he sleeps on every night, and drags it into the camp. Then he lays down to sleep.

((I'm refraining from pointing today, don't want to jump on bandwagons. Also, I love RPing elderly crazy hobos, don't you?))

[heretic]

((Sorry for the confusion))

heretic continues to work on the barricades. "Me? a cultist? Far from it. Hey Jerry (Salmon), pass me another plank"

heretic continues working on the barricades.

[Almighty Salmon]

"You sir," he says while pointing at Jerry (Almighty Salmon), "I strongly suspect you of sabotaging the barricades you supposedly were 'working on' just now!"

"Me? Sabotage the barricades? Haha, I think you're seeing things sonny, maybe you should lie down for a bit. I want for nothing more than to protect every survivor we have here."

Jerry then looks towards Heretic

"Sure thing! I'll just go and get another one."

[Traveling_Angel]

"Gah! Everyone help barricade! We need to keep them out! It's a good thing I played so much Urban Dead before the outbreak!"

((Heh, thought that too. UD players of the world, UNITE! or kill eachother...))

"Barricades it is!"

*Starts to work on 'cades, speaking to Freshmeat*

As for you, could you be accusing to cover you're own guilt?
