"The Exodus" A Zombie RPG (Open for Reserves and Villain roles, Started)

I suppose what I am trying to say is that sometimes we will write stuff that is stand alone, that is just a passing idea, that has no intention of becoming a story part or anything to affect the plot.

Sorry if I sound a little harsh, I don't mean to be.

"Ya, I heard it," he replied to Ethan, "but I did not see where it came from. Bastard's got poor aim though." He looked towards Ethan and saw a small blood splatter on the back of his head. "You alright down there, Ethan?" he asked.

I agree with FinalDream about attempting to give life to certain rooms. It's just simply more interesting, from both the writer's and reader's perspective, to not have every room an empty mess. Maybe I did go too far with the "baby-slaughter room" but as I said before, we weren't given too much info on the house so i assumed it was fair game.

As FinalDream has said, it's all just filler...never intended to encroach upon your plot. Even as the GM, you will be often surprised because you don't know what the characters are going to do, or how they'll react to the plot. In those situations you improvise instead of reprimanding, unless it buggers the plot completely. Because that's what roleplaying is all about...Improvisation.

Anyway...time to post.

He still had about 10 minutes before he was meeting Moses at the shed, but Two-Bit was anxious to get his hands on more of the pills. Pacing up and down, smoking a cigarette and head buzzing with excitement, Two-Bit thought about the supposed Exodus ahead.

We'll never make it if we leave this place. Hell, he stopped grimly, snatching the ciagrette out of his mouth and exhaled sharply, likely wouldn't survive long if we stayed here anyways. How useful would I be if we were attacked? I fired a gun once when I was 12...but I've got more experience looking down the other end of 'em.

He sighed, crushing the dead cigarette under his boot. He still had 3 full packets left but he was realising the need to ration. It's hard to cut back when I'm not getting a decent enough fix, he chuckled to himself. A few of Moses' pills at a time should do the trick, he held out a trembling hand, dirt crusted into his skin, get rid of these fuckin' shakes.

Swinging his guitar into position, Two-Bit toyed with a few silent chords as he waited for his supply to arrive.

Even at the end of the world, he thought wonderously, The dealers find a way to thrive...Where the fuck is he?

Ethan felt the dampness behind his head and felt the trickling of blood trailing down his neck. He felt his head again and he felt the gash in his along his scalp.

"Damn, must have hit my head pretty hard. Can you cover for me? I need to get a bandage or something to cover this wound. If I don't then from what I heard, the dead will be swarming this place in no time!" Ethan stood up and opened the door. It was dark except for the light leaking through the windows and the light coming from behind him. Ethan looked around in the lobby for the group. He held his head again and shambled forward.

"Hello? It's me Ethan..."

[Elizabeth]

Son of a?

Elizabeth turned over her hand and cursed the small shard of glass stuck in the tip of her finger. Pulling it gently out she felt a stinging sensation run through the broken skin as a small dab of blood began to pool in the tiny cut crossing the tip of her finger. Shaking away the light sensation of pain Elizabeth restrained from sucking the wound due to the fact her hands where completely covered with dirt from exploring the room. Wiping the remaining excess blood away on her hoodie Elizabeth retuned to the task at hand. In this light she couldn?t tell the damaged glass bottles from the unbroken ones and it was beginning to get annoying, the tiny healing scratches on her hands where a testament to it.

Huh? What was that.

Elizabeth?s head turned and she stilled her heartbeat a little in a better effort to listen intently for the sound she had thought she had just heard.

Was that?a voice?

Turning fully around while grabbing the USP match pistol from the table Elizabeth stared intently at the gap in the doorway. The gun had grown cold while left on the steel table and it?s touch sent shivers down her fingers but regardless Elizabeth gripped it with both hands and slid her trigger finger into place. The hairs on the back of her neck began to rise as she quietly walked towards the barricaded door careful to reduce the noise of the glass she was stepping on.

Stopping to press herself against the wall Elizabeth?s eyes watched the dark room beyond though the gap in the doorway for any sign of movement. If she was quick maybe she could grab the M4 Carbine and take on whatever had just arrived in the Veterinary clinic, assuming it wasn?t just all in her mind. Although the notion would make her seem foolish for jumping at mere shadows it was the scenario Elizabeth preferred by a mile.

Dismissing the idea she took the USP match pistol in her left hand and quickly slid through to the other room keeping her eyes alert for trouble lurking in the dark. As she turned to face the front of the building the light streaming in from the open front doorway blinded her and Elizabeth quickly snapped shut her eyes. The image of shambling silhouette was burnt into the back of her mind. The rising panic and fear screamed for Elizabeth to open fire but she had no guarantee of hitting the target and instead she silenced the thoughts raising the pistol to take aim when her eyes recovered.

 

[Grim327]

"Ya, I will cover you, just worry about getting that wound patched up.," he replied to Ethan while he walked inside the clinic. He soon saw a glimpse of a sillhouette that was ducking in and out of the shadows near the other side of the street. It was too fast for a creeper, and it seemed like it was on two legs, so he figured it was human and alive. He did not say another word, and waited to see what the mysterious shadow would do. The second it tried for the front door he would fire his M9.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Ethan's injury began to wreck havoc on his vision and his mind. His hands began to tremble. His vision became partly hazy as he walked forward. It was until after he saw the a figure emerge from the shadows that Ethan reacted. Ethan's instincts kicked in but his sense of memory didn't. The shadow staggered a bit as the light blinded it. Ethan's shadow was exactly on top of the figure while the light curved around him. Ethan drew his M1911 with his free hand and aimed at the figure.

With a clouded vision Ethan fired his pistol not sure if it met it's mark. The loud bang bounced off the walls of the enclosed room. Ethan was a taken back by the recoil of the gun even though he's fired it a hundred times before. He clumsily took a step back still clutching his weapon but as soon as his eye adjusted he finally saw Elizabeth fall back on her left side. The horror of it all set in as Ethan now stood there frozen with shock.

"Oh my God, Elizabeth..." Ethan whispered. Ethan dropped his gun then he hit the floor backwards as he fainted.

 

[FinalDream]

[Elizabeth]

Her eyes firmly shut to the blinding light Elizabeth could hear her beating heart and drawn breath over the noise of the world. It was an odd feeling that took a great deal of will power to suppress the fear building up in the pit of her stomach, demanding that she wildly open fire and pray for lucky shot.

At the sound of the gunshot echoing in the enclosed space Elizabeth?s eyes opened wide and a single tear ran down her right cheek, it felt nothing more than an itch as the searing hot piece of led cut through her skin like a hot knife though butter and embedded itself with a minor grunt into the brick wall behind. Elizabeth?s stomach turned, she felt sick, and at that very moment her legs folded and the hard floor sent a jerk through her body as she collapsed and hit the ground.

Instantly her right arm reached around and squeezed the throbbing, burning flesh as relief flooded her panic stuck mind. It slowly dawned on Elizabeth how lucky she had just been. Looking upwards the silhouette emerged into her view. It was Ethan. The colour from his face drained as he watched Elizabeth on the floor with shock.

"Oh my God, Elizabeth..." He whispered.

Elizabeth gave a startled cry. ?Ethan??

She could feel the blood rushing through her fingers and down the length of her arm. Elizabeth was about to order Ethan to find a bandage when he dropped the gun and collapsed backwards, fainting with the realisation of what had just happened.

 

[Grim327]

Heard the gunshot come from the inside of the building. He did not know if the rest of the group was in trouble or if they were fine. He soon decided to go check it out just to make sure. He gave a quick glance to see if the silhouette he saw earlier was still there. Relieved that it wasn't he slid down the ladder and walked inside with caution, and his M9 ready to fire. It only took a few steps for him to see that two of his friends were on the ground and both bleeding. "Ah, fuck!" he exclaimed. He rushed around the immediate room looking for gauss pads, bandages, anything he could use to help the wounded. He luckily found a small wrap of bandages and tape in a drawer behind the check-in desk. He tried to assess the situation of each with just his eyes and saw that Ethan was on the ground, feinted, and Elizabeth barely staying consious. He decided that Ethan was in worse condition and bandaged him up as fast as he could unwrap the bandages. "Damn it, this is exactly why we need flashlights," he replied under his breath. When he was satisfied that Ethan was fixed he soon started working on Elizabeth. "Hold on, Liz. Don't die now, You still have a shit load to do before you can sleep on the job."

[Moses]

here is my customer Moses walked towards Two-bit, "Hello friend. I want you to help me set up a-" Moses got near Two-bit and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him "I have another pill. I need some information, is that fine with you?". I'll lure him for just a while longer .
.
A motor is heard in the distance. The sound began growing stronger as if something came closer to the mansion. Without warning, a massive crash occured. Moses ran through the house, asking any with weapons to come to the front. Moses stood in the front yard, a school bus lodged in the high fence, its front door opening and allowing whoever is there to enter the mansion.

[Smiley]

Smiley could hear the commotion in the lobbby. He rushed in to find Ethan collapsed on the floor, bleeding from his head. medic "We need to disinfect it" Smiley said calmly, putting his backpack on the floor he took out a small flask and walked towards Ethan. "Then we need to shave the hair" Smiley walked towards Ethan, kneeling on one leg he raised Ethan's head and poured half of the content of the bottle. Ethan began squirming even more. "At least you didn't scream" Smiley said, taking a sip from the flask.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Before Two-Bit could even answer Moses, a huge crash was heard in the lobby of the mansion and the leader ran towards the noise, shouting for anyone with weapons to follow him.

Cursing to himself, Two-Bit hefted his guitar and ran after Moses. I want more of those fucking pills god dammit!

Stopping when he saw the damage caused by the bus lodged in the wall, Two-Bit cursed again, Whoeevr they are better fuck off. I ain't lettin' Moses outta my sight 'til i get me them pills.

Holding his beloved guitar raised like a bat, Two-Bit readied himself for whoever - or whatever - disembarked the bus.

 

[FinalDream]

Resting her head back on the ground Elizabeth sucked in a deep breath and extended her arm to Grim who began to wipe the blood away in an effort to see the wound. Blinking away the tears that began to cloud her vision she watched with curious eyes and began to feel a little embarrassed as it turned out the bullet had only scraped her arm, granted it had took a chunk of flesh as it passed by but in terms of possible wounds it seemed Elizabeth got of lightly.

Relived she watched the bandage wrap around her arm and in no time at all she was on her feet subconsciously rubbing her arm while watching Ethan. Seems he had got the worst of the wounds the irony been he hadn?t even been shot. Felling a little light headed Elizabeth sat down and waited for Ethan?s recovery.

 

[FinalDream]

Damn internet eaten my post! This better bring it back!

Edit: YAY!

 

[Grim327]

"Well, I'm no medic, or doctor, but that should hold until you can get some better treatment that just some bandages," he said after taping up the bandages. He looked towards Smiley, and asked him, "We have two wounded people, and have caused some commotion. Ethan and I saw someone outside, but they stayed in the shadows. I do believe that this place will be crawling with creepers or homeless soon. What do you suppose we do?"

 

[ImSkeletor]

Joseph heard a large smash. What the hell? Moses ran through the house telling everyone with a weapon to head outside. First time I have had to fight in a while. Joseph dropped his backpack on the ground and pulled out his brass knuckles and slid them on. Then he picked up his machete and walked outside behind Moses. "Always here to help," he said as he lifted the machete above his shoulder. Well maybe they will be peaceful or something. I really don't want to kill anyone. Not again. But if they wish to take the life of anyone here i will not stand by.

 

[TheIronRuler]

[Moses]

Moses stood in the front yard, surrounded by his armed followers. Four carried semi-automatic pistols while two aimed their antique rifles at the entrance. Moses raised his right arm in the air, "If they talk, wait for a signal. Else-" Moses was interrupted by the front door of the bus being opened.

Falling from the enrance, a man in his early thirties scrambled to stand up and raise his hands. He didn't wash himself or his clothes for weeks, and it seems as if he was stuck in the bus all of that time. A hastly repaired pair of glasses, one mounted with addition lendeces commonly found at an opticians' office rested on his nose. "Please-" his voice was trembling as his eyes bounced from a weapon to another pointed at him.

"Sir, are you OK?" a voice was heard from the back of the bus. "Please-" He said again, "Save them. I don't care about me anymore" the man fell to his knees and lowered his head. "I beg you to-" he said, his voice trembling even more. Seven young girls walked out of the bus, all wearing school uniform commonly found at a boiarding school. Each wore a short blue skirt and a supposedly white shirt. They were too all filthy and bruised.

"Lower your weapons" Moses said to the rest of the group.
this just got a whole lot more interesting

[Smiley]

"Then we assault a stronghold" Smiley declared.
the other untapped pharmacy is on the other side of town. We won't make it in one day.

[Mike]

Mike opened the door and let the caged dog out. It began running out of the room and towards Smiley. Mike aimed his pistol at the dog but before he fired it Smiley took a bag of dried beef and handed it to the dog. I could have missed
"Are you alright?" Mike asked the rest of the group as he noticed Ethan on the floor.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Ethan awoke to the stillness of the silent room and the burning of alcohol on his skin. He looked around and saw the team waiting around him but most importantly he looked to Elizabeth who seemed to be just fine. Then Ethan looked to Smiley.

"Sorry about all that... it was dark... and I should have used my head more than my instincts. Me and Grim... we heard this gunshot a while back and I must have hit my head against the burnt out Humvee in front when I was searching it... sorry to all of you..." Ethan said.

 

[FinalDream]

Elizabeth?s fingers, layered with dirt and dried blood, swept backwards through the tight strands of her greasy hair and removed the elastic band holding it back. Feeling it collapse down the sides of her face Elizabeth rested her head back against the wood of the reception desk and wrapped her arms around he knees. She could feel a slight cool breeze drifting in from outside through the open front doors and as it washed across the exposed skin of her face she smiled, it felt good. More out of curiosity than concern she raised her left hand and watched with a little discomfort the shaking it produced. Noticing Ethan looking at her she quickly dropped her arm and tilted her head to one side, offering him a warm sympathetic smile as he verbally apologised to the group.

?I hate to counter your lust for blood.? She blurted out to Smiley. ?But are we in any shape to go on the offensive? Wouldn?t we be better walking towards the pharmacy and maybe finding a safe location to spend the night before we do anything?"

 

[Grim327]

"She's right ya know?" he said in support of Elizabeth's inquiry, "But in any case, we need to get moving now. We will have to think about where to sleep at on the way. Anyone know a four-star hotel nearby?"
