Things had been weird for Conrad today, his SWAT unit had not been called out but he had noticed the large number of assault complaints coming over the police radios, but now the day was over and he could soon see his girlfriend and relax. He had left most of his SWAT gear at his workplace as per standard procedure but carried his 9mm pistol and a spare clip in the glovebox of his car.

Suddenly ahead he saw a car accident blocking the road, slamming the brakes he forced the car to a stop.

David's day had been the same as every other day, except for one bright moment of luck when he found a half-full bottle of whisky in a dumpster. He was currently enjoying this treat in an alley in town when he heard a noise and noticed what appeared to be another homeless stumbling towards him.


Ivelliis

It was starting to look like it was going to be a quiet night, fares were few and far between when Gregg got a call for a pickup in a residential area. For his protection a 9mm pistol was wedged beside his seat (hidden but easy to grab), he pulled in at the address and waited for a while. After fifteen minutes with no sign of a fare he had to decide what to do.

David stepped up from his seat on the cold ground of the back alley and waved at the stranger walking towards him.

"Hey there! Found me a bottle o' whisky, and it'd be a darn pleasure to share wit'cha. What'dya say?"

David put a grin on his face and tried to make himself seem as non-threatening as he could. He didn't want to cause any trouble with the seemingly innocent fellow walking towards him.

OOC: Time of day? Is it a dead-end alley or open ended?

Conrad slammed on the brakes and reached into his glovebox, he then retrived his gun,holsterd it,then put his extra clip in his pocket.He walked toward the crashed vehicle slowly,gun pointed as he was trained to do.<font color=yellow>Hello? Is anyone hurt?</font> hearing no response,he moved foreward.

Someguy

OOC: It is currently in the evening, dark but you can still see reasonably well. It is an open ended alley between a public toilet and the town library.

IC: The stranger makes no reply but a moan and continues to come towards you.

Dice roll: Observation: 20 (Damn, first roll and its a natural 20... damn you [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

IC: You look closely at the figure coming towards you and see that there is something very wrong with him, his face is covered in blood and it looks as if half his throat is missing.


Drow

You move forward towards the crash and see it was between two cars.

Dice Roll: Observation: 1 + 3 (And the second roll is a 1, creepy)

You cannot see into the car due to the darkness.

David stared in shock and horror at the figure shambling towards him. He began wondering to himself if the whiskey was starting to get to him already, but he never remembered being this much of a lightweight. He stood up and smashed the end of the bottle to make a makeshift weapon and began backing himself away from the abomination, taking as careful steps as he could to avoid tripping. He looked around for a bit, trying to see if there was any other blunt objects or anything he could use to defend himself with.

OOC: What end am I backing towards? The library or the public toilet?

Someguy

OOC: You are backing towards the library.

Dice Roll: Observation: 11 + 5 = 16

IC: You notice a piece of thick metal pipe which has fallen behind a trashcan, it is approximatly the length of your arm.

The stranger comes towards you faster, at this rate he will soon be upon you.

[ 01-17-2006, 09:08 PM: Message edited by: shadowhound ]

The homeless man went for the metal pipe, hoping to grab it up and deliver a crushing blow the head of his assailant.

OOC: shadowhound, do you have an AIM or MSN address by any chance so if needed we could discuss it on there instead of posting back and forth?

OOC: Affirmative, if anyone wishes to add me as to make things easier I am on msn: the_antilove@hotmail.com

Someguy

You manage to grab the pipe and take a swing at his head.

Roll: 17 + 6 = max 20

The pipe crashes into the side of his skull and you hear a sickening crack as it sinks in, his body falls to the ground. The alley is now empty except for you although you hear more moaning coming from the direction of the toilet exit of the alley.

OOC: Alright, I'll post mine. aeris_kencer@msn.com Feel free to add me and what-not.

IC: David stared in disbelief at the creature he saw on the ground before him. Hearing the moans coming from the opposite direction, he made a speedy exit towards the library, heading to a more open area. He wished to himself that this was only some horrid nigthmare, not like the things that happen in the movies.

As you stand in front of the library the full force of what is happening finally sinks in, there are screams coming from seemingly all around you and a car goes flying past covered in blood. Smoke rolls over the horizon and it almost seems like hell on earth.
From where you stand not much else can be seen, the alley is behind you and so is the library, a primary school's playground stretches out in front of you.

David could only gather his wits about him, and not let the fear he felt consume his psyche. He had to think quick, survive, survive as he had on the streets. He took his pipe up with him in both hands, knowing that if he came across a possibly quicker and stronger weapon, he might take it. He decided to follow in the direction of the car, knowing it was probably heading away from danger.

Someguy
As you trudge along the darkening streets it becomes more and more difficult to see, you are now walking through a residential suburb and you see the bloodied car parked in front of a small house three houses ahead of you.

Roll: Observation: 19 + 1

You see a dark figure open the car door and run into the house.

David decided not to waste any chances, knowing survival was important. He ran up to the house, keeping his eye out for any other shambling pieces of rotten flesh coming towards him. He banged on the door loudly.

"'Ello? Somebody! Someone! Open the door please!"

Someguy

A voice rings out from inside the house, "Keep out, keep away from me... I have a gun and I will kill you if I have to."

"Please! I'm not one of those things out here! I swear! If I was how could I be talking to you?"

David backed away from the door and prepared to be greeted with anything. He certainly didn't want to be shot, but he wnted to survive as well. He took glances around him, watching for more creatures.

"I can't take any chances, get away from here or they might find me."

You look back and notice two figures moving towards you, the second only has one arm while the other is covered in blood.

David muttered to himself about the person in the house and nearly jumped out of his shoes when he saw the figures from across the street. Thinking quickly, he ran over to the car and tried to open the door to see if the keys were still there or if it held anything that could aid him.

[ 01-17-2006, 10:31 PM: Message edited by: SomeGuy ]

Someguy

The keys are hanging from the ignition and except for a lot of blood and some broken windows the car seems in decent condition. You dont see much else of use.

"Oh boy it's now or never."

David hopped into the car and started it. He revved the engine and took of the down the road, not going too fast since it'd been awhile since he'd driven. He kept a watchful eye out for anyone on the streets.

<font color=yellow> Step out of the car. Or even a sound, to tell me you're alright.</font>hearing no answer. <font color=yellow> Oh god, your probably hurt. Stay there, try not to move, i'll call for an ambulance.</font> He slowly backsteps toward his car.

OOC:I read a post i thought was adressed to me but wasnt, sorry.

OOC: Who are you talking to? You have not found anyone yet [img]tongue.gif[/img] At the moment your situation is that you have found two cars, have not seen anyone yet and can not see through the windows.

Drow

You arrive at your car and there is no movement from the accident scene. Your first call is to the hospital but all you get is a busy signal, same results for the police.

Honking the horn a few times, Gregg stared at the house. Nothing.
"Probably a prank," He thought to himself, "Bloody teenagers, sending me about like a headless chicken."
He checked the gun was secure (it was, tucked safely in the gap between the chair) before getting out of the car and walking up to the door. Three loud knocks echoed around the silent street, and Gregg waited for a reply...

The door must not have been shut properly because it swings open when you knock on it, from where you stand you can see a room with a couch and a television but no signs of your customer.

Gregg

"Hello?" Gregg yelled, "Anyone home?"
Gregg waited for a reply, and there was none. Strange how a person can call for a taxi then leave the door open. He started to turn to walk away, but the strangeness of the situation caused him to turn back and walk into the house, slowly, looking at every part of the room carefully.

OOC: Walking slowly to the room with the TV. If he sees something, er, interesting, he will stop.

[ 01-19-2006, 12:00 PM: Message edited by: Ivelliis ]

Conrad shakes his head.<font color=yellow> Damn.What could possibly make that crash,then not have anyone calling out?</font>He frowned as a thought came to him.Their dead.He ran toward the car and came right next to it and tried to peer in.

Ivelliis

Dice Roll: Observation: 5 + 5 = 10

As you walk into the house you realise that something about the room is not right, you cant place your finger on it but you feel that you are missing something. You hear a noise from the other end of the house which is followed by a screaching of brakes followed by a crashing sound from outside.

Zombie Dice Roll: 9

As you peer into the glass a hand lashes against it, cracks appear but the window holds. You still cant see much other then that.

Someguy
As you drive through the streets you see sights that disturb you to the core, you are driving through a residential suburb when you suddenly notice a taxi parked directly in front of you.

Dice Roll: Driving: 11+2=13

You hit the brakes but still run into the back of the taxi, fortunatly it is only a light bump and there is minimal damage to either vehicle.

Conrad jumps back.<font color=yellow>Ahhh!</font> His finger slipped over the trigger and prepared to fire.The only thing that stopped him was curiosity.<font color=yellow> Lean back as far as you can! I'm going to kick in the windsheild!

"Aw, piss."

David slumped back into his seat and took a quick look around to make sure there wasn't any crazies getting ready to attack him. He undid his seat belt and got ready to step out of the car and check out the damages.

Gregg stared about the room - something was wrong here, but he didn't know what.
The sound of screeching brakes pulled him out of his daydream. Without thinking, he turned and ran outside, only to see a car drove into the back of his taxi.
"For God sakes!" He yelled, "Bloody bad drivers!"
He ran up to his car, checking the back for any major damages.

Drow

Dice Roll: Melee: 11 + 5 = 16

Your foot crashes into the windscreen and the glass shatters, as you regain your balance a hand grabs onto your foot.

Someguy

Apart from a ugly dint your car seems undamadged, a man runs from a nearby house and looks at the taxi.

Ivelliis

Your taxi is in working condition with the exception of a now unclosable boot. You see a man examining the car which crashed into you.

<font color=yellow>Holy cow! </font> yelled Conrad as he tried to rip his foot away.His gun was out but he couldnt just shoot a civilian.

Drow

Dice Roll: Melee: 2 + 5 = 7

You fail to kick free and you are thrown off balance as the hand pulls at your foot, as you land on your back and start getting pulled into the car you see a mangled blood stained face staring out at you.

David was startled by the sudden appearence and raised his weapon to strike. He didn't notice anything strange and hostile like about this one, but he couldn't be too careful.

"Are you for real!? Are you another one of them? So help me God I will bash your face in! I've seen the movies! One blow to the head is all it takes!"

Gregg stared at the man, bewildered by his words.

"What you on, mate? He asked rashly, "One of who?"

His gaze turned from the mans face, to the pipe he was wielding, and back again.

"And you won't be needing the pipe, I ain't a zombie or anything."

OOC: He still isn't aware of the situation *grins*

[ 02-08-2006, 02:36 AM: Message edited by: Ivelliis ]

Conrad desperatley tries to pull free and attempts to kick the "person" in the face.<font color=yellow> If you dont let go now, i will shoot you!</font> he hoped he sounded convincing enough.

Drow
Dice Roll: Melee: 13+5 = 18

Your foot slams into its head and you hear a cracking noise as the neck almost snaps completely. The hand still does not let you go as the creatures head falls to the side and continues to stare at you.

David stared at him, puzzled. He lowered the pipe and took a few glances around. It was a relief to finally see someone normal, someone who wants paranoid or trying to eat him.

"Wha'... what do you mean what am I on? 'aven't you seen the creatures? The zombies? I was just sittin' in an alley, drinkin' some whisky, and this... this thing shambling down toward me and not before long I notice the thing's all rotten and disgustin'... so I bashed it in the head and took off.

Then saw some poor guy speedin' by, followed him, and he holed up in his home. When I asked for some help he threatened to kill me! So I took off in his car and now we're here. So, you sure you're not one of them?"

David looked back at the wreck for a second.

"Sorry for that, by the way."

Mouth open, he stares, he dosnt really try to get away for a second, then, deciding that it wasnt human, he lifted his gun to shoot.

Drow
Dice Roll: Small Firearm: 19+1 = 20

The bullet blows a hole in the creatures forehead and its grip goes limp before the body slides to the floor.
