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

[TheIronRuler]

Spoiler: OOC

Nobody noticed the canine?

[Smiley]

Smiley watched the dog eagerly eat the dried beef he gave him. "I know another place we can go to." Smiley looked at the group, "Not really a pharmacy, but it has what we need." Smiley stood up and looked at the group. "Most importantly. No questions." Smiley walked towards the door and signaled the dog to follow him.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Ethan slowly got up not wanting to rush anything. It was then that Ethan noticed the familiar scent of a canine and he looked down to see the little thing wagging it's tail against Smiley. It had been awhile since Ethan has seen a living, breathing dog. Not once on his trip here that he even saw a living one but only dead ones.

"If you say so Smiley, but how far is it? Rumor has it is that the dead can smell fresh blood from a mile away. I'm not sure if that rumor is real but I don't want to be the one to find out..."

 

[TheIronRuler]

[Smiley]

"It can't smell . It reacts to sound. Unless you moan all the way we won't get tailed" Smiley handed the almost empty tin bottle to Ethan. "You'll need it more than me" Smiley turned to the rest of the group and tried to assess the situation. we get to his house and grab the supplies "We might get there before nightfall" he turned to Elizabeth, "Are you alright?" he asked her.

 

[FinalDream]

It had started the day as a distant, dull throbbing sensation but in the passing minutes the rising headache had launched a full frontal assault on her forehead. Elizabeth Williams frowned and gently rubbed her temples with two fingers as if trying to erase the sensation altogether. The expedition to the pharmacy couldn?t come soon enough and if the moment arose Elizabeth felt mightily tempted to slip a box of paracetamol into her bag when nobody was looking.

?I know another place we can go to.?

Elizabeth closed her eyes and felt the exhaustion creep upon her.

Of course you do. She kept the comment to herself.

Ethan replied. ?If you say so Smiley, but how far is it? Rumour has it is that the dead can smell fresh blood from a mile away. I'm not sure if that rumour is real but I don't want to be the one to find out??

Elizabeth hadn?t heard that one but she knew the ground rule for the evasion of Zombies was to keep as quiet as possible. Smiley confirmed it to Ethan.

?I?m fine.? Elizabeth responded, picking herself up from the ground. Her body ached in response to the sudden movement pleading for an extended rest. She looked down at the dog wrapping itself around Smileys leg. ?We pick up another one for the group??

 

[Grim327]

Looked at the dog. "Seems as if he knows you," he said to Smiley while motioning to the dog, "but that's beside the point. We are going to be moving slower now that yall are injured. I know it is not my decision, but I suggest that Smiley, and I take the front while Elizabeth and Ethan are in the back, like I said it's just a suggestion."

 

[FinalDream]

Cradling the M4 Carbine rifle Elizabeth Williams stood in silence. Her face was a neutral mask to the thoughts running riot in her mind as the piercing green eyes bore holes into Smiley. There was something troubling about this man. Catching her eye Elizabeth turned her face away and without a word to anyone walked towards the open front doors and out into the bright sunlight. The ghost of a little girl following in her wake.

You may be a faded, torn photograph on the wall but I still love you.

Lowering her gaze to the sidewalk she watched the little girl dance around her feet and the pair exchanged a warm smile before the ghost vanished, returning to the memory it had once come from. Happiness faded from her lips and Elizabeth took a deep breath willing away any more stray thoughts from invading the grim reality. Wandering out into the empty street she waited for the others.

 

[TheIronRuler]

[Smiley]

Smiley kneeled and moved his hand over the dog. "Prove yourself useful and we'll keep you" Smiley addressed the dog. "Mike can help Ethan, Grim can cover us in the back" Smiley said. He stood up and signaled the dog o follow him. Surprisingly, it did follow Smiley outside.

he looks just like moses

 

[FinalDream]

It didn?t occur to Elizabeth to be careful. With a slow pace she wandered out looking up at the tall buildings lining the street on either side. She squinted as the glare from the midday sun reflected from the intact glass widows into her eyes and with a slow motion she pulled out her aviator sunglasses, unfolded the arms, and slipped them on. Turning to the vet clinic she watched moses walk out dog in tow. The right side of her lip curled into a smile, that dog sure loved Smiley. She wondered what he was feeding it.

Watching the curious dog sniff around the kerb Elizabeth reached into her hoodie pocket and found the elastic band. Keeping her eyes on the clinic she tied back her hair and began walking towards the shade of a near by tree. The parking meter underneath had spilled its blood in coins and lay broken across the sidewalk. It?s bounty glittering in the sunlight. Elizabeth bent down and picked up a coin, it was of course completely useless these days but as a token of time gone by she decided to pocket it.

'Hey Smiley, what?s his name?' Elizabeth walked over nodding at the dog.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

Ethan might have been still feeling the migraines but that didn't stop him from actively looking out for any threats in the nearby area. With the help of Mike, Ethan had an easier time keeping pace with Elizabeth and Smiley and of course the dog.

"Hey Smiley, what's his name?" Ethan overheard from Elizabeth. Ethan had never had a dog growing up but a few of his friends in his early childhood had a few dogs and they every time he went over to their houses their dogs were always the ones slobbering on top of him.

"A couple of my friends had dogs, I always hear them name their dogs such silly names. One of them named his Golden Retriever "Lassie"..." Ethan said to the group once his eyes were done looking over the canine.

 

[Grim327]

Walked with the rest of the group, while every now-and-then taking a look behind them making sure they were not being followed. He soon heard the conversation about dogs and remembered his German Shephard, Sir Lancy.

"I had a dog once. He never did anything bad. Almost like he had a sense of honor, or ethics, or something, ya know? You ever have a dog of your own Liz,and Smiley?"

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Holy fucking luck! Two-bit thought as he watched the terrified girls stumble off the bus, thier arms linked in some ineffectual display of protection.

Lowering his make-shift weapon Two-Bit leered hungrily at their exposed flesh, a desire to touch their teenage bodies filling his soul. It's been a long time since the groupies died out, he mused, maybe things will start lookin' up?

Snapping out of his reverie, Two-Bit stepped forward and pronounced to the armed group of survivors: "water, bandages and some fucking food! Get these ladies cleaned up." He glanced down at the man on his knees. "Somebody sort this guy out too...he's not lookin' so great."

Turning to Moses, Two-Bit smirked sardonically and nodded towards the girls. "Whaddya make o' this then?"

 

[TheIronRuler]

[Moses]

I wonder how I could profit from this "I deal with them" Moses addressed Two-bit. "Welcome" Moses raised both of his hands and raised the man from the floor. "You're welcomed here as a part of our new community" Moses moved his hands over the mans' shoulder. "What is your name" Moses asked him, expecting an answer as he squeezed his shoulders. "Sh-Shido is my name" the man studdered.
One of the girls walked towards Shido and hugged him from behind, pulling him away from Moses. "I feel dirty" she whispered. For the first time since he came off the bus, Shido showed aggresion. He pushed the girl away and said with a firm voice, "We cannot impose on our guests".
"Nonsense. Ask the women for some spare clothes while we wash your uniforms" Moses said with a friendly voice. He then turned around to the curious group that stayed in the house, which is outside witnessing the new developments, "Could you please help those poor girls, they need some clean clothes". Shido looked at the girls and nodded, immediately afterwards they began walking behind him in one line.
.
Twenty minutes passed and seven fo the girls sat down around Shido outside in the yard. They all wore old, ragged clothes, but they were dry. Another one sat near them, from the original group. Somehow she became a member of Shodos' group.
Moses walked towards one of the women currently washing the clothes the girls had, "Can I touch one of the shirts?" Moses asked. You woman, not wanting to get in trouble, gave him the shirt and asked him to return it after he's done. Moses placed the shirt against his nose and smelled it for a few moments. "Thank you" Moses gave the shirt back to the woman.
You sick bastard
They worship you
And you treat them live slaves
That smell... was semen

[Smiley]

my beatiful moses "I had a dog. Had to put him down after someone told me we couldn't keep him if we wanted to live." Smiley said without turning back. "A name-" Smiley looked at the dog walking besides him, "-I don't know. It's a female. Maybe I could call her Deborah" Smiley looked up and smiled. He remembered the times when he was surrounded by his kind.
the female warrior, Deborah

 

[FinalDream]

?When I was a little girl. A golden retriever called George. My father had always owned a dog, stemming back to his childhood days and he wanted me and my brother to grow up with the same happy memories he did.?

Elizabeth smiled.

And happy memories they where.

?My daughter pestered for one every birthday, every christmas, without fail but with my workload and her schooling there would have been nobody to look after one during the day.?

Work. Elizabeth hadn?t thought about it for a good few days. If she could find some paper, some pens, maybe she would restart and write the first book of fiction produced in the post outbreak days.

What to write though?

 

[ImSkeletor]

Joseph lowered his machete and looked at the girls. He watched as moses spoke to them and tried to get them clean cloths and as everyone else left. Then another walked out of the bus. She walked up to him. Joseph looked down at her, "Sarah?" she smiled at him and he bent down to one knee. He dropped his machete a said."How did you get here, honey?" He reached out to hug her as tears ran down his face. The second his arms rapped around her she vanished. "No!" He shouted at he dropped his other knee to the ground. He slammed his fists against the ground as the stream of tears got larger. He remembered coming back to the hotel room. He remembered seeing half of her face ripped off of her body. "Oh god why." he yelled as he slammed his fist into the ground one more time.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Hmm, I'll go introduce myself later, Two-Bit thought as he approached the distraught Joseph. Kneeling next to the man, Two-Bit offered him a cigarette.

"You alright, man? Get a little desperate with the hot ass arriving?" He chuckled raggedly.

 

[ImSkeletor]

"I'm freaking losing my mind man. I saw my daughter come off of that bus. I spoke to her. I freaking hugged her. Then she vanished in my arms. I think i had repressed the memory of what happened to her. I pretended that she was gone when I came back to the hotel we were staying at. But when I hugged her I remembered seeing her dead on the floor with one of those freaking ghouls standing over her. I remembered seeing the bodies of my wife and son lying beside them. I remembered the pain I felt when I saw that and I experienced it again as if it had just happened." Why did I unload all that on Two-Bit. All I freaking know about him is that he is sarcastic, carries a guitar, and swears too much. Now he know my whole god dang life story.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Two-Bit, for once, didn't know what to say. After a few moments, he lit a cigarette and took a long drag, holding the smoke in to calm his nerves.

"Fuck," he eventually gasped, exhaling the smoke into the air, "Everything's shit. We all seen some bad stuff but uh..." He lowered his head closer to Joseph's ear, "I got something that could take the egde off maybe for a bit...It's not much, but I got about a joint's worth o' smoke if you fancy getting calmed down? I was saving it for a special occasion but, well, you look like you could do with being high, even if it's only for an hour or so."

 

[ImSkeletor]

"You know I have never done a joint because getting high would screw with my training schedule. But I guess that doesn't matter now. I'll take it. Anything to help me calm down right now." He whispered back to Two-Bit as he started to pull himself off of the ground. ?Thanks Two-Bit." He reached a standing position and realized that he was shaking. ?I think I?m going to need that quick man.?

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

"Round the back, outta the way. Don't want the others gettin' any ideas." Two-Bit started to walk away, gesturing for Joseph to follow.

Catching sight of Moses, he mock saluted, taking a drag of his cigarette. "We'll talk in an hour ok? Gonna go help Jo out, he ain't feelin' so good. I'll come find you yeah?" Two-Bit nodded, winked and grinned at the leader. Gotta get those pills soon

Two-Bitled the shaking Joseph round the back of the mansion and sat down on the grass, placing his guitar beside him. "So...you've never toked before??" He couldn't keep the surprise out of his voice.

Dying cigarette dangling from his mouth, Two-Bit pulled a small tin from his jacket pocket and stared at the image on the lid: 'Punk is Dead' printed on the front in red stylised letters.

Fuck that, he thought wryly, as long as I'm still kickin' about Punk is still survivin'.

"Hey Smiley for far away is this place?" Ethan said. Ethan looked around and saw noticed the empty streets. For streets on out it looked like they were all alone in the streets which was odd. From a briefing Ethan was in before the battle of Las Vegas, he heard that the reason why a super horde from the east was coming in was because they had run out of food in the east coast and just followed the scent to the west but where are the hordes now?
