So, in brief, are we holing up for a day or so to see what happens? Sorry about the absences, though I guess they're not too surprising anymore.

You sure can tell that we have the collective creativity to fill a thimble huh.
So adding in me, that's slightly less than a thimble!Derek_the_Dodo said:
Busy with SCIENCE!, I'm afraid. Update will come in either a few hours or a few days, depending on progress. By a few, I mean 1 or 2.
Guys guys guys guys! I'm alive! Holy crap! I have excuses, but I'm guessing you don't want to hear them. On with the story! Or, at least my recap.

Current equipment:
- Flashlight.
- Oliver (crowbar).
- Desmond (Survival knife w/ compass).
- Tyler (9mm Police issue handgun w/ 30 rounds).
- George (Double-Barrelled shotgun w/ 100 shells).
- Barney (Wooden baton)
- Water for 3-5 days.
- Food for 5-7 days.
- First aid kits and basic medical supplies, including antiseptic and bandages.
- Length of rope.
- Swiss Army Knife.
- Complete DIY Kit (Duct tape and WD40).
- Lighter and matches.
- Spare clothing.
- Binoculars.
Current location is a small hotel/motel, consisting of a lower bar/kitchen floor and a second floor with guestrooms and the owners' private apartments. There's plenty of food for now, and still running water.
Overall, Alex is highly physically fit and level-headed; without these qualities she wouldn't have been alive long enough to become a protagonist. However, the events of the past few days has degraded this somewhat. Alex is suffering from exhaustion, some mild hysteria following the death of her Apocalypse Companion (Jacob) and a zombie bite to the leg which has been treated to the best of her ability. Her bag is also kind of heavy.
The zombie outbreak, whatever actually caused it, was fairly slow and gradual. Military quarantine and media awareness began at least 2-3 days after the emergence of "Patient Zero", and (at least) one city was already irretrievably lost. Alex, sadly, did not hear of the outbreak beforehand and due to her decision of riding a bike through the less-travelled parts of the suburb did not see anything alarming enough to make her want to turn back.
Arriving in the city centre and struggling to escape a ravenous horde of zombies, Alex sought refuge in the clichéd location of a nearby shopping mall. There, she met Jacob, a middle-aged bookstore owner and gun enthusiast. Collecting supplies for the remainder of that day and spending the night on the roof, our dynamic duo decided to escape the city via the main highway, which unfortunately was on the other side of the city.
Alex and Jacob set off the next morning and eventually encountered a group of police officers and civilians attempting a rescue operation for some survivors trapped in the city's main public hospital. Alex refused to help, but Jacob stayed with the group.

PART TWOOOOO!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Alex, overcome with either guilt or a sudden change of characterisation, returned to the flock to assist with the rescue attempt, and after a resounding success at clearing the hospital she and Jacob left together to mount another rescue operation. This time, the victims were two police officers who caused a distraction for the main group.
Alex and Jacob managed to find a fairly secure outpost, but it was surrounded by zombies and they stood no chance of getting inside. In addition, they noticed a group of Weirdly Disciplined Guys in civilian clothing clearing the streets of zombies in organised formation, but did not make contact. In an attempt to create their own distraction and get zombies away from the outpost, Alex and Jacob set fire to a nearby gas/petrol station. The resulting explosion had every zombie in the city sitting up and taking notice, gave Our Heroes a nasty sunburn, and caused a large amount of regret. While fleeing the scene, Jacob was caught and (presumably) eaten by a group of rather aggressive zombies, and Alex sustained a bite to the leg.
Proceeding on through the city alone, Alex treated her bite to the best of her ability and ended up camping out in a hotel, near the main highway into the city. Unfortunately, this side of the city was the tourist district, filled with stuffed animals, Hawaiian shirts, disposable cameras and thousands of zombies. Now, Alex has taken refuge in a small bar/hotel just off the main strip and secured it fairly well, unsure of her next destination.

repeating what i said earlier, we'd best stay in the building and make this place as comfortable/defendable as possible. also, lighting a signal fire/ lamp connnected to the main power line on the roof that might be a way of escape if the military send in the air force, and it would also attract other survivors.
Hey, I just got here and read up, and it would probably be best to stay here, and if Jacob had still been alive, the place would be easier to hold. But yeah, as others said before, stay here and collect supplies from a nearby building. Though it might be best to get supplies from a few other buildings while looking for survivors because, if you find the survivors or they find you, you will need the food for them.
well that's not really a surprise considering his 'failed science' thingy from before. or he has gotten trapped in an actual zombie apocalypse and simply can't find time to go on the internet and update the zombie rpg he is running
or maybe he will to get tips on how to survive. or maybe he's dead.
we may never know
EDIT: guys i just had an idea.
i was watching storage wars the other night and one of the things they found in a storage box was something that could really come in handy
A Flaming Potato launcher!
they said it was quite easy to make it at home so if Alex can find the right materials (Pvc pipe, deodorant, homemade ignition chamber and something flammable to fire it) we could incinerate them and have a warm meal at the same time!
