"Ah, good morning, Henchman. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until after Henchwoman Raven and Sarah complete their run to dine. As for your activities... clear Cell 12 of all the spare boxes, set up two chairs inside - the comfy one with the soft cushions, and that electric chair we have in storage - and then find that set of knives we had lying around. You know, those big ones that make me feel all tingly whenever I pick one up."

[Shades of Gray]

Buck Ripley. Believe!

Sure thing boss Buck says, with very audible italics.

Buck will go lift boxes!

Of course number One, sire, I will inform the remaining henchmen of your tasks. Please do not let me further hinder your entertainment. Theo said, leaving the tray down, and bowing before leaving.

You old loon... he thought.

Go on, say it to his face. the other voice in his head says.

He returns to the women in the 'kitchen'

Well ladies, our task is as follows. We are to clear cell C 12 of all the spare boxes and to set up 2 chairs, the boss' comfy one and the electric chair. Then we're to get all his sharp knives. Sounds like a fun day. Well, off to work.

Kristi Harlow- Box lifting machine

"Well there is no need to call me lady. You know I am no lady, Theo. Man, why does everything he orders have to be so creepy? Also I wonder who he is going to put in the electric chair and use the knives on?"

Kristi shivers. Then she heads towards the room. She starts to easily lift the boxes away.

25 for lifting the boxes. Rolled it in the OOC.

Sarah, Zombie Dodger

Mental and physical suicide in one morning; he sure got the ball rolling. Sarah runs as fast and coordinated as she can for the golf balls with the 3-leg knot, dodging and tripping any zombies that get too close with her free leg.

Eliza looks up at Theo from the plate of food that she is hurriedly eating in an attempt to get some nutrition before the day's work. "Aye, alright," she replies with a rather obvious eye roll. "An' Number One won't be putting any o' us in th' electric chair. Na' without a fight, anyway."

Quickly putting the leftover food away, she sets to her task.

Raven Callahan

Raven stares at Number One for one long moment then sighs and heads out to the yard with Sarah. He starts shaking a bit, and gets some charms ready in one hand, and kunai in the other.

"Okay, let's do this." He says and waits for the gate to open.

[Shades of Gray]

Buck Ripley, running out of manly things to say!

Have fun getting eaten. Buck chuckles to Raven, as he whistles while going down the hallway, looking for anyone to cause trouble to talk to.

James

James presses the button, opening the gate. The girls hurry through and he closes it, then begins scanning for more zombies. Any of them get close to the gate (while open) or the girls and it gets a full frontal lobotomy.

[Tichrondrius]

Everything gets done in quite a satisfactory manner, actually.

Then those girls go outside. And everything seems to go bad.

The two girls are tied together rather shabbily in three leg race mode. The zombies immediately turn and stare at them, then start shambling over.

"Braaainnnsss..." The foremost zombie requests, asking rather politely actually.

As soon as Sarah goes for a golf ball, she trips, pulling Raven down with her and a zombie tries to take a bite out of her. Roll.

James manages to blast a few of the slower and stupider zombies, but then they start to notice him and start trying to actively get to him. A few dozen of them go for the gate.

[Shades of Gray]

Hey Raven, watch out behind you! Buck yells to Raven, no one being behind him/her.

From his safe vantage point, Saul clapped his hands and laughed. "Oh, what fun!"

Michelle

Having been up a bit too late due to sneaking around, Michelle has missed much of the morning's activities, but as soundproof as the walls might be, the sound of gunfire trickles through into her dreams, and combined with her growing awareness of a tightness in her chest, it is enough to wake her. Her eyes snap open to Fuzzball, licking her nose and whimpering. "..."

Her attempt to yell at the dog fails miserably, due to her current near lack of breathing, which prompts her to reach for her supply of epi pins. Which reminds her that her hands are bound, making the whole morning ritual that much more difficult. Still, this isn't the first time she's woken up like this, and she focuses her will, trying to get out from in under the terrible dog.

(1d6x4)[12], which might not work, cause I've not done that style of rolling before... and if it fails, well, it could be the shortest character life in any game, ever!

Not entirely gracefully, but with focused determination, she managed to inject herself, and regain her breath. "Fuzzball, I wish you wouldn't do that. Wait, gunshots? Oh, just peachy, I wonder who pissed off our yellow overlord?" She heads toward the kitchen, figuring (hoping) that things will be fine without her, for at least a few minutes.

[Zarah]

Luna

Luna stared blankly at the girl talking before her, who was apparently giving her an introduction. She nodded awkwardly, then replied with her own name, "Luna."

After another moment of strange, staring silence, she continued, "It would be nice to have to avoid the boss, but I doubt it'll happen." Once she had finished, Theo returned, explained the duties of the day, then appeared to simply vanish in a puff of logic.

A few more gunshots then snapped her attention to the front gate, and she went to see what all the commotion was about.

[Wiz]

James

James stands at the top of the guard tower, unworried by the zombies milling below, and once he's sure the gate is shut, he ignores the zombies going for that portal for the moment. He focuses exclusively on zombies going for the girls.

Raven Callahan

Raven looks behind him, then shoots the bird at Buck just as he gets dragged down with Sarah. Raven tries to pull her over him and roll away from the zombie before it can bite either of them. "Watch out!" He says in a less feminine voice than usual.

"Number 2, did you switch to the high powered magnum rounds like I suggested?" Saul kept up a stream of idle small talk and he watched the girl's mortal peril with sadistic glee.

[Wiz]

James

James pauses, "If you will remember, Number One, your experimental rounds still explode on an order of one in six. Since I'd rather not chance putting the rifle out of comission under these circumstances, I thought it best to stick with the standard rounds." He continues focusing his shots on the zombies closest to the girls.

Saul sighed. "I suppose you are right, Number 2."

Raven Callahan

"S***!" He keeps rolling to avoid certain death.

AH! Sarah yells as she yanks her leg away from the zombie and tries to return to retrieving the balls.

Saul watched as the girls pretty much messed up. "Tsk, tsk. They should have paid more attention during the Henchmen Three Legged Race Courses I set up."
