First name, Robert. Middle name, Susan.

Always hoped people would use a half-decent nickname, like 'Bob' or 'Rob'. But no, it was always 'Susan'.

Thanks, mom. Thanks, dad.

>>439967
Kylar Williams. Sounds pretty douchey. Always hated it

Oh riiiiiight, Robert Susan. That IS a shit name. Always hoped that people would spare me the shame and call me Robert, or a half-decent nickname like Rob. But no. No they didnt. It was always Susan.

Thanks, mom. Thanks, dad.

Maybe I'll get a gender change just for the two of you.

The elevator doors open and you step in. Don't worry, there's no elevator music.

You come out on the 6th floor and walk to your door. You rummage through the pockets of your jacket, your fingers still numb with the unforgiving cold. You find them, drop them (fucking shit), pick them up and shove them into the lock. You kick open the door and throw your bag of cup noodles and chips onto the floor near the sofa chair, the only chair you own. You take off your shoes and flip open the TV.

"Now reporting from Channel-5 News, we have alarming news that there's been an outburst of violence down at <input highly populated landmark or street that no one really cares about or will remember when its gone>. Witnesses report that a people are beginning to attack each other, in an almost bestial manner. There's reported to be heavy casualties and now enforcement officers storm the scene. We now go to Jamie Allison for the details."

"Reporting from Channel-5 News, we take to you a odd and rather frightening occurence today down here at <input same highly populated landmark or street that no one really cares about or will remember when its gone>."

"Yes, Jamie, they already know that. Kindly move on with the news."

"Shut up, Bill. You can't tell me what to do. Witnesses report that what began as a random assualt on another person, is now escalating into a mob of violence between seemingly random civilians that had been in the site of the incident. As you see now, behind me, law enforcement officers attempt to pacify the mob-goers while protecting nearby pedestrians who now-OOF- who now are in a frenzied rush to escape. From what we see now, officers are succ- oh god! It seems that the mob-goers are attacking the officers!"

BANG BANG

"Officer are be-"

Pause.

"It looks like we've lost connection with Jamie for the moment. I apologize, we will return to you with up-to-the minute news as soon as we re-establish connection."\

You see? This is one reason why you were a NEET. Too much shit, not enough time.

Turning off the TV, you throw your coat onto the chair and walk to the bathroom to run some warm water under your heat-deprived fingers.

Oh god that feels good.

You look to the mirror. How do we look? How old are we?

About 25, but the baby fat we carry makes us look about 18. Not a whole lot, but enough to make running a pain in the ass.

>>440078
No income and a shitty lifestyle make us thin as a stick and somewhat malnourished.

We're 20, but look like we've got a few years on top of that.

>>440086
I'll just switch my vote to >>440083 so we can move things along, shall I?

>>440127
I could always combine the two, if you guys prefer

>>440138
Seems pretty incompatible to me. One has us looking younger than we actually are, the other has us looking older.

Still, I have no objections, if you feel you can.

>>440083
>>440086
>>440127
>>440138
>>440148
You look like a freaking chipmunk.

Normally you would classify yourself as skinny, undernourished from your exclusive diet of chips, cup noodles, and tap water. But then there's your face. How does this even happen? Does your body fat have some magnetic attraction to your cheeks? You're 20 year old, for god's sake. But you look like a deranged 18 year old who stores his food in the hollows of his cheeks.

You sigh, turning off the water. You pull up your sleeves and flex.

Error 404: Muscles could not be found.

You dry your hands and walk out of the bathroom. You fish your bag of chips out of the plastic bag and plop onto your chair. You pop the bag opened with practiced poise and flip back on the TV.

"Welcome back, Jamie."

"Thank you Bill, you altruistic piece of trash. Civilians are beginning to attack one another with intent to kill. Much to shock, many officers have fallen and others have joined in themselves in what has escalated into a full-blown riot. We urge you to find immediate shelter and lock all doors. The crew and I are now leaving ourselves." The reporter shouts over scream and shouts of the background.

"Thank you, Jamie. Always faithful to the job. Like a dog! Loud, and annoying, and needing of a leash! On another note, a witness has sent up and close footage on the situation. However, we must warn you that it is very graphic material."

The screen shift to a shaky video. You see people, normal-looking people, viciously attacking others. Monsters now. Roaring, groaning, and ripping flesh from bone. You flinch as one woman ravenously chomps down on a man's throat, leaving the sound of wet gurgling in wake.

You think now its safe to assume you've just landed shit-middle into a budding zombie apocalypse. Thats nice. Just fucking peachy. The screen shifts back to the anchor.

Another pause. His expression is grim now.

"We'll give you up to the minute coverage on the situation, stick with Channel-5 News for more."

Well shit. What you do now?

>>440230
Take quick stock of our important possessions. Grab a weapon.

We're soon going to need to run out to steal food, water and dry-cell batteries.

>>440230
>>440237
this, but first were cold and miserable right? quick hot shower before we lose that luxury?

>>440237
Supporting.

>>440256
Hot water won't disappear overnight. Food might

>>440230
Do we have friends?

Enter montage mode, suit up in something appropriate for the occasion and arm the fuck up with the best weapons and gear we have available even if it's all actually shit. Using a bunch of close up jump cuts of our weapons and gear, then focusing on our face as we say a dramatic, "start of a zombie apocalypse" one-liner

>>440262
No friends. We were a NEET. Maybe we have a little laptop where we loose ourselves on 4chan, pornhub, and crap f2p rpgs. But we have good wifi if nothing else.

>>440256
Leave the heater on when we leave so we can take one when we get back, if you want. It's not like the electricity bill is going to be a problem any more.

Beating out the inevitable looters is far more important than comfort right now. Food and water are obvious, but electricity will also soon be at a premium, and batteries will eventually become almost as much of a valuable commodity as canned food, and perhaps more so than ammunition.

>>440268
When did we drop out of school? Do we have any noteworthy skills?

>>440274
The skills to you guys. All I ask is make it minimalistic and realistic. Im going to say we dropped out in high school. 16 or 17 sounds like a ripe age.

>>440274

>>440262

Well you're not very interested in being eaten alive anytime soon. You can already hear the noise of shouts, yells, and screams outside. Not close, but not too far. So you do the obvious, get the important possessions, some things to survive, and get the hell out.

But there's a problem, you dont own very much in the first place. Fortunately, however, you have almost enough to fit inside a single backpack! Yipee!

You grab your passport, I.D., credit card, all that likely-to-be-useless-in-a-zombie-apocalypse crap. You throw your your cup noodles inside (hey, you already bought it) and throw in a roll of toilet paper. Toilet paper is always important.

Unfortunately, you have nothing that could potentially be a weapon. You dont even cook so there goes the kitchenware. Okay! Time to split.

You take off your coat to put on a black hoodie, then wearing the coat over that instead. You then get your ol' trusty pair of worn sneakers on, the only footwear you currently own. Throwing your bag over your shoulder like a boss, you go to turn the heater on. You're going to need a warm shower after you come back. And with that, you leave your humble abode.

Ding.

You get into the elevator and wait for the doors to start closing before you drammatically say:

"Zombie apocalypse: start."

Gosh you feel fucking awesome.

You jog across the lobby and leap out onto the snow with a crunch.

Now you're outside again.

You sigh, your breathe causing a fog of frost that kisses your lips. The noise is louder out here and your body begins to tremble with excitement and anticipation. Better haul ass.

Where to?

>>440314
Actually name a place for this. Where do we go FIRST?

>>440325
military surplus store? theyd literaly have almost eveything we could want

>>440314
>>440325
Any nearby stores likely to sell canned food, bottled water and batteries? Hopefully, we can grab an FM radio and some kind of weapon while we're at it.

>>440328
this if there's one in town, we need to get some weapons that don't rely on our pitiful strength. bonus points if the owner is a retired badass with a big ole' beard.

If only those were a common sights in cities. I guess we could find that on the corner of Not Avenue and Here St.

>>440333
Name a store. That sounds like some multi-purpose thing like Walgreen and Walmart. But Im American. Not sure how many of you live in the U.S.

>>440342
Are we in a town or city? Do towns have apartments? I dont even know. Where do we even live?

A city would be more fun. But a town seems like a nice start. Gives me a chance to set a more eerie mood.

>>440345
>Name a store.
I would but I'm not American.

>>440362
I suspected as much. Name a store type then?

>>440369
Scratch this, I have enough information. We dont actually need a store name, we'll just go ransack the local mart.

>>440345
sorry, im canadian. theres a surplus store litteraly a few blocks away from my place....figured theyd be more common down there. *shrug*
>>440369
how about a camping/sporting goods store. itd be a close second. gear, clothing, tools, some supplies for wilderness/emergencies. firearms?

>>440390
new hiking shoes....that DONT squeak...

>>440390
Its fine. I apologize. I reread what I typed and it seem unneccesarily accusatory and sarcastic. Didnt mean it that way. But sporting goods stores are definitely existent in cities.

You blessed genius.

You note that food is at a premium in zombie apocalypses. Bottles of water would be great idea as well. Maybe some batteries.

You begin jogging towards the convenience store from where you came from only 20 or so minutes before. Only this time, you're intend to return with much more than a bag of chips and cup noodles. On your way, you see cars driving to and from, filled with families that you catch a glimpse of through tinted windows. Others run. You find yourself stopping a few times for a breather. You understand the urgency of this but your body rebels at physical exertion.

And the noises grow louder.

In time, all too long for your liking, you make it to the store. Its a small little establishment but you already spot people filing in to loot and sack. You already see two people on the floor, wrestling one another while goods lay litter on the floor around them.

Best to ignore the violent ones.

You walk into the automatic doors. And scan your surroundings. You been here more times and you can count but there're no weapons. But they have everything else you'll need right now.

Food first. You dash into the appropriate aisle and unsling your bookbag onto your forearm. You brush canned foods into your bag as you quickly walk along the aisle. You pluck some batteries off shelves and throw in what's left of the water bottles into your bag. People don't bother you any more than you bother them. They're too intent on stealing themselves, and there's still enough to steal while avoiding conflict...but not for long. You slide back into your heavy strapped-sack, now bulging with the many items that fill it.

"Hey."

You stop and turn. A man, eyes darting between you, his surroundings, and your backpack faces you. He's looks fairly average, "normal". If not for his manic expression.

"I-I saw you put some water into your bag. They were the last ones."

How do we handle this?

>Give him some bottles. We have about 7 bottles. 2 in the outside pockets.
>No, these are a commodity now. We can pretend to hand it over and suckerpunch him or something
>No, these are a commodity now. Walk away. He might not do anything, he's too nervous. Maybe threaten him for safety measures?
>Write in

>>440455
this early on, avoid conflict. maybe save life....
in one motion, grab two bottles toss at his feet , while walking away , "your a clever one, youll go far". then book it when he bends over to get them.

>>440455
>Stick a hand into your backpack and tell him that bottles aren't the only thing you've got in there, and ask if he really wants to risk it for a small amount of water, when he could be elsewhere, getting a container to fill from the tap before the utilities get cut off
Which we should also be doing, come to think of it.

We also ought to grab at least a knife from somewhere so we don't have to go around making empty threats.

>>440484
second the moition for scrounging for a large jerry can and a knife/hammer/crowbar...although that stuff would be easy to find in a sporting good store.

>>440484
Roll 1d100 for intimidation

>>440474
>>440484
Which are we going with?

>>440496
It would be better wait to see how the vote goes first before rolling.

How would we be rolling, though? First roll only? Best of 3? Or perhaps some more complex system?

>>440484
this all hinges on him having no weapon, or him not feeling physically superior...

>>440502
Yeah, hoping you guys would come to that conclusion on your own to compensate for my mistake in submittion order.

For this, its best of 3.

>>440508
It hinges on him not wanting to be stabbed right at the start of a zombie apocalypse.

Even winning the fight is meaningless if you come out worse at the end. All that water will be pointless if he's got a massive wound to take care of.

Or so we'd like him to think.

Decide on one. You can
a. give some bottles and hope the man doesnt get greedy or
b. you can intimidate him.
If anyone wants to add more potential actions, go ahead.

>>440523
he already confronted us, he wouldn't do that without having some desire to do something about it. and a hand in a bag isnt very intimidating in a crisis situation if we had one wed be brandishing it.......i guess its more a question how dumb he is...ill go with any tie breaker here.

>>440533
>>440523
If we're going with Blue's, everyone roll. If we're going with Traitor's, someone please break the 1:1.

>>440533
Or, you know, we look scrawny as fuck and like we'd be a pushover.

You'd be surprised how intimidating reaching for an apparent concealed weapon can be. If he's remotely capable of thinking in the long-term, he'll be weighing the likelihood of getting stabbed or shot against the worth of our water.

Regardless I'm heading off now. Try not to get killed or turned into a zombie, and remember to steal a bicycle for when we inevitably need to leave our apartment.

>>440547
We also look like a chipmunk.

I will also take my leave. I'm scheduled for a my own commitments. I will be back in, say 4 to 5 hours.

>>440547
>>440559
cool beans guys, peace. good idea about the bike.

I vote for just giving him the 2 outside bottles, wish him luck and then leave. He's probably expecting some confrontation right now and some basic decency goes a long way to defusing situations like these. There are other places and ways to get water

>>440705
Seconded

Rolled 50 (1d100)

I cast a vote for intimidation, prepare for a nasty roll

>>440994
3 for giving him two bottles as opposed to the 2 who opted for intimidation.

Daddy's back. Writing.

>>441378
Did you pick that trip just so you can say that every time you come back?

>>441384
Nope. It was a spur of the moment. Both of them.

>>440474
>>440705
>>440710

You've never done well with confrontation. In fact, you've been almost completely secluded from face-to-face social communication for a few years now. 365 days. For each of those years.

But you'd have to be autistic to ignore or fight this man. An animal is the most dangerous when backed to a corner. And this man seems to be at the ledge.

In one swift motion, you pluck the two bottles from the net pockets that flank the side of your bag and toss them to his feet. His eyes dart down immediately and he bends to pick them up. You take that as your signal to book it, and so you do.

You sprint away from the store, or whatever you can muster with your sub-par body and a tortoise-shell of a backpack. You look back once before making it back onto the sidewalk. The same man runs to a car with the two bottles of water and bags of other goods- which you assume are foodstuffs. A little girl greets him as he opens the door of the driver's seat.

A father.

(OP note: I swear this is an absolute coincidence to my trip. In fact, to a traditionalist, it would be absurd for me to have a child at my age.)

Now for the survival gear.

But the nearest sporting good's store is a good distance away, a distance you cant effectively cover in good time. Even more so with your bag, which you admit is quite heavy. The resistance of the straps dig into your shoulder and the sheer wieght of it all has already worn out your back.

You look back once more. There are many cars. All you need to do is creep up to a single person...and incapacitate them long enough to drive off with their vehicle. Or you could find someone with a child...hold them hostage and ask for a car...or just directly ask for a ride? You see a bike on the back of one. Maybe you could take that.

God dammit we haven't been a thief before and we won't be a thief now, not while all of these people are still humans. Soon enough we'll be able to scavenge what we need from the dead, dying, or undead.

No, you are better than that. A hero. That is what you always were in your treasured games and you're not going to stop now. They are humans, like you.

They just want to survive. You refuse to throw away your humanity while humanity is still to be had.

Nevertheless, your body is long overdue for the exercise it should have had in your post-teenage years. So you you hoof it. The sole of your shoes thud aganist the snow-cloaked pavement in dissonant strides. And in only minutes, sweat glazes your head and your body is slick with sweat, even in the chilling cold. But this willl be nothing when the hounds of Hell come to sieze your flesh in their greedy maws. So you ignore your screaming lungs and melting muscles. You find your rythym and begin alternating between walking and jogging; you make it to the store's lot by 40 minutes flat. Not bad for you, but not good for someone about to be plunged into a zombie apocalypse.

You drop to your hands and knees, allowing yourself some much-needed rest as you give a quick lookover to the store. Beyond your heaving chest and attempts to secure some morsel of air for your lungs you can surmise that it is at peace, sectioned off from the rising hecticism.

The large store stands erect beyond the black asphalt, absent of almost all cars. Two. That is all. You suppose most people have families and are more intent on securing food and water than arming themselves at the moment. But thats good for you. And you give yourself a silent fistpump as you begin to shuffle to the entrance.

You try to ignore to foreboding sounds of the riot. You believe you may have ran towards it rather than away from it, coming here. You have very little time and something inside you tingles: thrill and anxiety. You squeeze your eyes shut, as if cutting your vision would wipe your mind.

Eyes on the prize

Clean, automatic double doors shy away as you approach and you come to a spectacular display of sporting goods, from footwear to, according to the signs, hunting rifles. Again, you dont see anyone. Employees must have decided to drop everything and leave as soon as they heard about the riot. You start with the shoes, or boots. These squeaking sneakers will be the death of you in a zombie apocalypse.

You quickly find a pair of fitting boots: hard but flexible, and not squeaky. You drop your bag onto the floor and groan like your grandma did waking up that day everyone thought she died. She's actually is now, God bless her little, old soul. You switch your out old, worn sneaker for the boots before you, feeling out your toes.

Good enough

You leave 20 minutes later, without too much trouble and a lot of running around. You have switched to a new bag (discarding the cup noodles and toilet paper in the process), got hold of a small, foldable tent, pocketed a multi-tool and the most normal looking knife you could find, and got a new duffel bag for your new hunting rifle and as many boxes of .220 SWIFTs as you could fit. Of course, you also snatched a machete. You would rather have something larger and more threatening than a small knife to fall back on when the need arises. And a bike, knowing it would be almost impossible to jog back with all your scavenged supplies and equipment.

You make a sharp left after leaving the door, moving as quick as you can, and look down the road, towards the riot. You see what you dread. In the horizon, you see the chaos: small figures of people running, the accompanying cries of the self-pitying prey. But you do not see the hunters. Not yet.

The edition where you have no nerdy friends and have to teach your closest friends how to play when they dont have the minds to comprehend the beauty of complexity of a real, serious campaign so you have to settle for a sub-par laymen version.

Also, .220 swift? That's a weird cartridge, dude. Why that one?

Honestly, I just searched up the "hunting rifle ammunition" and chose the one that sounded most to my liking. I like the number 2, Im cool with a 0, and Im also cool with "s" words. Plus, I dont think our imaginary post-NEET friend would know either way.

can we get an inventory real quick?

Duffel bag

[A shitload] .220 SWIFTs

[5] Water Bottle
[8] Those cylinders cans of food

Threw away our old backpack with the cup noodles and toilet paper. We also have some nice, non-squeaky boots on.

>>442992
well lets get the fuck back home and hunkerdown before shit really hits the fan, we can wait it out a bit take our shower and do neet shit until the power and water fails then go ftom there we gotta wait for the herd to thin out so we dont die in the chaos lie everyone else

>>443006
This, also when we take our shower lets fill up every bottle an bowl we have with water for later in case the water fails really quick.

>Do we have a tub?

>>442887

>>443011
Thats...hardcore but very logical. Noice. No tub. No shower. We have a shower tub.

It just occured to me...we shouldve picked up a first-aid kit.

>>443013
Look around and see if we can plug up the drain somehow and store more water in the shower tub when we're done.

>>443029
don't forget to clean out the tub

>>442992
hey man could we alter the story so our character had grabbed a .308 Win chambered rifle with some rounds?

that .220 wont due much good for hunting large game and i feel that a NEET would not be accurate with a gun, so he would need some stopping power.

>>443091
.220 will be fine. It'll put down a deer with no problem, and if we can't hit it anyway, a larger heavier caliber won't help

>>443091
.220 is not .22, it's a good sized round.

There's only only thing to do when you see a mob of people far in the horizon with zombies on their metaphorical tail.

You run.

But you have a bike so no more running today. You get on your bike, propping your duffel bag and machete on the handle bars, and hammer it home, the snow just merciful enough for good traction. And with the singing cacaphony of an impending death too close behind, you allow yourself no leniency with speed. Adreneline and fear coax your legs, lungs, and blood, and you make it home before you're fully concious of how painfully fatigued you are, or how many close calls you had with speeding cars on the road.

You drop all you bags and equipment onto the floor of your modest studio apartment, the bits of clinging snow melting into small puddles. You move immediatly towards the window, and before you are fully conscious of what you are doing, you have your head out. Snowflakes land on your head in a graceful descent and your breath curls in a lazy mist. You're sweatier than you have ever remembered being in your 20 year of life but you're nose and ears are tinted pink from the cold. And you take a moment to listen.

You listen for how long you have until life as you know it is shattered and reconstructed into a very real nightmare from millions of jagged, broken pieces. And you listen as the cries of the living, cries of fear, panic, self-pity, pain, and loss blend into a morbid and terrifying harmony with the mourning moans and hungry snarls of the shambling dead. And for a while, you continue to just listen.

You pull yourself away when it becomes to much. You're going to need to preserve water first, you think. So you take a warm shower, scrubbing both yourself and the tub as best as you can. Once you're done, you step out and dry yourself, putting on fresh clothes and cleaning the foot of the tub once more. You then turn on the warm water to the highest setting possible and wait for it to fill before turning it to a close.

You are in need of rest but your tasks are not done just yet.

Some dude named Bacon once said that knowledge itself in power.

So knowledge you will accquire. People kill for food when there is not enough. But they do not kill for information, not always. Make yourself useful to both yourself and others and you will gaurantee yourself some protection on both fronts. Or at least with the living.

You guys wanted maps and medical knowledge, yes? Choose one. You roll 1d50s for all, no matter what you choose. The ratio of rolls that clear the DC to those that do not determine the success.

>Medcial knowledge (DC 35)
>Maps (DC 20)
>Write in (I'll determine the DC)

>>443122
May have caused confusion with the words I used when describing how the rolling works. For any choice you choose, you will need to roll 1d50. Everyone that wants to roll can roll. The ratio of rolls that clear the designated DC to those that do not determine the success. A maximum of 3 will be taken into consideration.

>>443127
Fudged it again. First 3 rolls. 5 if there are enough people. If you clear the DC, thats great.

Medical knowledge will not and is not so easily accquired, even more so in the days ahead. It will become a commodity. So you decide to scrunge what you can in hopes it well serve you well in the bleak future ahead.

You glaze over common and rather useless facts like how many bo-holy shit, you have 206 bones. But that won't help you survive a zombie apocalypse, would it? Your research comes out to be relatively fruitess, besides increasing your trivia knowledge. And you are forced to stop when you can distinguish that the screams now come from a few blocks away.

Time to brace for the impact.

Time to survive.


Any last preparations?

What's the general consensus are we hunkering down or bugging out?

I vote hunker down.

>>443242
board up and barricade everything, but run around the building first plan a few escape routes ect, we need to lie low during the initial chaos then be able to fucking fly when needed

what floor and ho big is the building?

>>443242
agreeing with
>>443245
>>443246

hunker the fuck down and stay quiet, and maybe go around your building securing what doors you can, stairwells especially.

What's the post limit on /qst/? Im new at this.

>>443312
800 or 72 hours. We've got time

>>443246

>>440078
>6th floor
Lets say the highest floor is the sixth floor. It offers more seclusion and coincides with our background of being a former-NEET. The building wouldnt be too big. We didnt want to blow off our late parents' money too quick. All we wanted at the time was to be cut off from the world and be happy in our own little pocket of space.

>>443246
You have an idea for the escape routes? I believe all buildings are required by law to have fire escapes in NYC. So we can say we have a fire escape. We dont have much supplies to particulary make anything. But I suppose we can tape doors closed. Everyone knows to keep some duct tape around.

>>443341
Though Im not saying we're in NYC.

For now we don't know who's left and in our building for better or worse, I say we knock on our neighbor's doors and see if we can get a hand prepping the place before the dead arrive.

>>443346
This one sounds fun

>>443344
escape through fire escapes probably a garage or back and side doors and sewers if we can swing it
are we near woods or do you guys wanna go for city survival hard mode?

Hunkering down won't be much good if you have them outside your door. You need to barricade the building and your apartment. Leave or make an escape route or two open in case. But there's only so much you can do alone. As much as you'd prefer not to talk with anyone, you'll need help from the other residents of the building. You need to be a hero. You need to be DOVAHKIIN!

You grab the duct tape, smooth your clothes, and march over your supplies and out the door. You walk several steps and come to a stop.

The first door.

>>443376
we are a city apartment dweller, let's not overestimate ourselves.

Tripping over a root in the woods could be lethal to us, let alone trying to hunt for our food or survive the elements long term.

You knock the door, hesitantly and weak. Nothing. Then you try again, harder this time, more firm. This time, you hear some shuffling...followed by silence again.

"E-excuse me. I'm perfectly healthy but I thought...uh...w-we should barricade the doors doors to the building...be...because they're close..."

Silence.

Alright you fucker, come out or I fus-ro-dah your door.

More silence.

This mo-

You reach to knock harder this time, but at the first knock the door creeps away with an eerie creak.

You still hear the faintest noise of movement inside.

We still have our knife and multi-tool on us in case if you were wondering.

What do you?

>>443542
Shut the door.

Move right the fuck along, no need to deal with this right now. Next door over. If something starts bashing its way through for our flesh, walk back over and give it a stab in the noggin while it tries to get through.

You take deep breath and walk in.

"EXCUSE ME, I AM DOVAHKIIN. ARE YOU IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE?"

You hear shuffling. Not shuffling of the feet per se...just shuffling.

You swallow and walk deeper into the apartment when you see the source of noise.

Suicide.

You see a woman dangling from the noose of a hempen rope, a stool just under but knocked down. Her eyes are rolled back and bulge like onions while her feeble attempts at breathing cause feeble, inward croaks. Her face is already discolored and she grabs at the noose around her neck. But her legs only dangle. Inanimate.

She has already given up.

>>443615
>>443595
>>443603
>>443605

The 2s determined the gender

>>443615
If she looks like she wants down, give her the stool back I guess.

If not, her call, send her out the window when she's done and we can take her McGubbins.

>>443615
Let her go, she wants out. Go shut the door, wait for her to die, then cut her down and sit on her back. Get some practice putting a knife into a skull, I doubt we've ever done something like this and combat isn't a great time for firsts.

She hung herself. Her legs are limp. Which means she's either terrible at multi-part control or wants this. Of course you could always do a persuasion check after you free her to convince her otherwise.

I'll ask once more, stop her from killing herself or let her die?

also, sorry for being gone. back at the store i would have suggested a first aid pouch and a crowbar. thoses things get really useful getting in and out of stuff.

Im really not mad. I just want a consensus. Im also a tad bit confused, mood-wise.

>>443809
Save. She might be good for something, and we can kill her later if not.

You grimace.

If she's already given up then there's nothing you can do about it. It's her life. Her choice.

But you can't let someone die right in front of you. You've never felt suicidal before but you've heard that most survivors just want people to ask them what's wrong. To tell them not take their own life. Of course, in this circumstance where the dead are rising and everyone alive and in the city is in for a shitstorm this may not apply. But there aren't any do-overs in life. If you die, you stay dead. She can hang herself again if she doesn't approve of what you're about to do.

You grab the stool from under her and try to place it under her feet but she kicks you square in the face, which you're fairly certain was done on purpose. So you snatch up the stool and place it a feet or so behind her. You climb on yourself and remove your knife from the back pocket of your jeans. You take only a few seconds to saw off the rope and she falls to the floor on her knees and hands in a coughing fit.

Aaaand you just stand there for a while until she eases down.

"What the hell?" She asks, almost a whisper.

Her throat must be damaged from her...attempt.

the let-her-die route was written better and was cooler in the short-term

Sorry, I unintentionally ignored you

Suprisingly, fierce eyes scowl at you from under a fro of red hair. She has the sharpest nose you've ever seen and light freckles that pepper both the bridge of her nose and beside it.
She seems to be rather young but you cant discern if she is older or younger than you. But her almost lanky appearance and simple clothing make her appear older. She wears a long-sleeved tee and you wonder, briefly, if she's had a history of suicide attempts.

Her eyes twitch. Even with her scowl, you know she wants to cry.

Regardless, you know you're fairly inept at live social communication at this point but really? "What the hell?"

"I could ask you the very same question. What the hell?"

"My life, not yours," she retorts.

"So go ahead and do it again. Once you die, you die. I just wanted to give you a 2nd chance if you needed one. Otherwise, help me barricade the building. They're coming."

You pause. Then in your best German, Arnold Schwarzenegger-ish voice and say:

"Come with me if you want to live."

She just stares and on her face is painted a million words that all go along the lines of: "this guy is a retard."

But she doesn't say anything. She only stands and gets her coat.

"Lead the way."

How many sets of stairs are there?

>>444049
Can we destroy the first floor stairs?

>>444085
There are 6 floors, one flight between each floor. Meaning its relatively steep, not so much that you would care but noticeably more.
>>444090
If you can give me a way how to. I have some ideas but Im the QM. And I wouldnt say "destroy".

>>444105
We have a lobby.
>>444090
We also have an elevator

>>444105
if wood and plaster and steel, an fireaxe and our crowbar/sledgehammer would be all but required. if heavy stonework and masonry then pneumatic tools may even be a thing. so , right now? no. good news is the typical front doors/apartment doors would be firedoors, thick and heavy. only a large number of zombies working over a period of time would truely break through. so all we need is some bookshelfs, sofas and steel/wood bars.

>>444122

"I want to clog up the first flight of stairs from the lobby up. You have any furniture you can donate?"

Your words feel awkward in your mouth, even more so than earlier. Tumbling out as if purely by muscle memory.

She sweeps an arms across the sight of the room.

"A sofa, a table, two drawers, and a TV. I like them but if they'll keep me alive, then so be it. But I'm keeping the TV, need the news just in case, and a drawer for my clothing."

You nod. Rational enough.

"Then lets get it out. I'll bring my own sofa and help you with your furniture."

Several minutes later, you both have your furniture out. An entire sofa, a sofa chair, a drawer, and a table.

You dont have much time left, if anything, you'll likely manage by the skin of your teeth. Both a horde of panicked people with nowhere to hide and a horde of living dead will be at your block in only a few minutes. Maybe 3. Maybe 2.

The two of you work on pushing the furniture down the stairs, flight by flight. Each moment, brief pauses between flights, to right the furniture and line it with the vertical of the stairway. And each time the sounds grow louder, audible even in your desent down the tunnel-like passage.

Finally, you arrive at the bottom. It's close now. Frantically, the two of you begin fixing the furniture to best obstruct the opening of the door. And it comes closer. The two of you shouts at one another, commenting on how this way wouldn't work or putting them that way would just fall. And closer. You push aganist legs and the flats of the furniture, making sure their secure in place. And then it hits.

It comes like a tsunami.

A chorus of noise and emotions. Madness screams in your ears; fear, anxiety, and panic slams into your skull and reverberates through the physical and mental realm of your existence. For minutes, the only thing that fills your head is the screams of too many to count, and too loud and too greedy to let you fill your head with anything else. You shut you eyes and tuck in your head, palms shoved aganist your ears and trying desperately to shut out the sound. But its too loud. And all you can do is sit there, huddled aganist the wall with a girl who tried to kill herself only moments before. And soon you begin to, in spite of yourself, distinguish between screams.

Which are the ones being trampled? Which are the ones that are dieing? Which are the ones who see their loved ones dieing? Which are the ones being eaten alive? And which are the ones that will survive?

And then there are the moans.

A dirge for the living.

And a hymn for their dead.

You loose track of time. At some point, you think you hear banging. Maybe the lobby entrance? The 2nd double doors should be locked. And at another, a quote wanders into your mind. The last you studied in high school before dropping out at the start of your senior year. Macbeth

“Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

How appropriate.

get up them stairs. nothing to do here.

>>444304
Agreed

>Ask what's her-face for her name, give her ours, see if we have any other neighbors on the floor.

Are these zombies the terrifying viral rape zombies that sprint, or the lumbering derpy kind that decay?

>>444316
28 days later, or walking dead?

>>444304
>>444316
Both. They kinda need time to decay, yeah? But rigor mortis still plays in the first 72 hours after a few hours post-death to allow the body to rigidize.

But I was thinking of turning in today. Have to excercise in an hour and this seemed like a nice place to stop. Should I start a new thread or just continue on this one?

>>444329

Nigga what u getting uppity about

Your eyes open to dim light. You groan. Your head hurts like hell and your ears are ringing. You feel terribly groggy and your body is sticky with dried sweat. You look around, wincing. You feel a terrible aching pain at the back of your head, your neck, and back.

Furniture. Stairs. A redhead. What the hell?

You groan and and attempt to get up but as soon as you move your body from the wall the pain multiplies. You give up trying to stand and opt for sitting forward.

"Aaauuuuuh shit."

You look to the redhead. She's sleeping. You must have fallen asleep as well. And then it hits you: the apocalypse.

Shit shit shit.

You silently curse youself. You wasted your time taking a freaking nap down in the stairwell when you could've been doing something productive. And what if something happened during your nap? What if they attacked?

Shit.

You nudge the woman. No response. You shake her this time and her eyes drag open with a groan of her own.

"Aaaughoh crap. We survived?" she asks. You glance to the pile of furniture.

"For now. We should get going..." you pause. What's her name again? "Sorry, I don't think I caught your name? Mine's Robert."

"Madeleine," she responds, grunting with exertion as she gets up. You get up as well, having more control now. The two of climb the stairs in silence, your headaches and back pains as adequate company.

"We should see if anyone else survived," you say, now at your floor.

"I don't think we should. We dont know what's going on yet. We fell asleep, right? We can come back later."

Can't argue with that. Forewarned is forearmed.

You nod and part ways. The first thing you do is wash your face. It seems water is still running. You sigh, slowly running your finger from your forehead and through your hair. You turn the knob shut and walk out, not bothering to dry yourself. Forewarned is forearmed, you repeat. You get the remote and- yeah, no electricity. Should've picked up a radio.

You pick up your equipment that you dropped near the entrance earlier, now moving them to the far corner of the room. You chug a glass of water and leave, making sure to lock behind you. Zombies won't be the only ones you'll ahve to worry about before long.

You have your black hoodie on with those new non-squeaky boots. You also have your knife in your back pocket, the handle partially concealed by the baggy hem of your hoodie. Your multi-tool is in your pocket.

You go to knock on the other doors, but silence greets you more often than you like.

"Im perfectly healthy. I just want help. I was thinking we could work together."

You wait and knock once more. And wait once more.

If this is going to repeat at every door, the dead'll be here before I even get back into my apartment.

Everyone roll 1d2

You move on and knock on almost all doors, finding one old lady, barely able to talk, answer one. You sometime hear faint noise beyond the doors you knock at. You make a mental note of which ones. It takes a while until you finally find someone who is both willing to answer your knocks and looks like they may actually be useful.

"Heeeeeeeey duuuuude," drawls the woman. She leans aganist her door in nonchalance.

A woman with shoulder-length and almost-white blonde hair with light magneta highlights stands at the entrance. And immediately, a long-forgotten smell invades your nostrils. You can hear some grungy rock beyond the door. Alice in Chains? You think you've heard this before, beyond your treasured anime songs, of course.

"Whass'up?" You see the glint of a tongue-piercing as she speaks. Is she really-yeah, she's totally high. You silently facepalm yourself. Past her, you see two more people lounged on bean bag chairs, heads hung back. They all look older than you.

Did they just drug themselves through the first wave of the apocalypse? What the shit is this? Is this entire floor filled with half-witted young adults and a single old lady? Is this a center for the incompetent?

>>445548
