TURN 5 - Desks Suck
The clouds greets you with rumble of thunder. Light rain begins falling, making the awful smell of corpses and decay even worse. Some survivors begin feeling dizziness and nausea. At some point you hear wheel drifting and a loud crash. Men shout but silence conquers few minutes later. Straighten up and speak very loudly "It's okay everyone, the management have this under control. As your supervisor, I will make sure that company policy is upheld and we make it until security arrives"
Find company manual
Jury-rig a sword out of tape, chair leg and desk cutter
Your bold tone calms down most people but some...get pissed off. They seem to be circling around the food/water stockpile. [6]. You try to find the company manual, you find it leveling a desk. As you try to pull it out it rips in small pieces, the pages are crumbly and unreadable. [2]. You try to jury-rig a weapon of sorts but your dexterity is not..optimal. You waste resources in the process of gaining nothing. [2]
Head to the second floor and find a mop or similar(Range-wise)
You manage to find a mop tucked away in a closet. [4]
"Wait, company policy? There are zombies out there- Yes, I know that term because I watch a lot of zombie movies- and you want to keep up policy? I don't even remember what it was! Or what your name was. Who are you? Don't answer that actually, more pressing matters."
Find mechanical/electronic objects. Try to craft a club out of the leg of a chair.
*Do the other two things I did, plus punching Vasilily or whatever.*
You search for anything useful that you can use in mechanical/electrical crafting but nothing seems useful. [3] You rip out a chair leg and wrap up the handle in cloth. This ought' do. [4]
After seeing Yafnag's...failure, you throw a punch at Vasily yourself. Your hit lands in his stomach ; he doubles over and coughs loudly. [4]
Straighten up and speak very loudly "It's okay everyone, the management have this under control. As your supervisor, I will make sure that company policy is upheld and we make it until security arrives"
PUNCH IN SNOUT TO ACHIEVE COUP
"Listen up, fellas. The management are to blame for everything that is happening right now - trust me, I've my sources out there, I've been working this out for weeks. By my count, we've got three days of water, and we're going to have to last far more than that here. For that, we need to take back to the roof from the CONSERVATIVES, the ones the management sent here in order to trace our every move back to Central. I'm willing to give anyone interested a try in talking them away from it, but if you don't make it work, we need to force them out. Survival's more important than a few moles with delusions of grandeur."
DELEGATE 20 PEOPLE TO BARRICADING THE EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF THE FIRST FLOOR WITH FLAMMABLE SHIT, WHILE FIVE MOVE ALL THE SUPPLIES WE KNOW TO THE THIRD, SEVEN GUARD THEM FROM THE CONSERVATIVES, AND THE REST RAIDS THIS BITCH. OVERSEE PROFESSIONALLY. ALSO, DID WE FUCK UP OUR FEET, GET OUR FEET FIXED GODDAMN
You swing wildly at Vasiliy but miss and tumble to the floor.[2]. The hostility heats up spirits in the offices, some people side with Vasily some with you. This certainly needs to be fixed before any orders can be given. You waste precious time arguing loudly. [3] In the meantime you try to fix your burnt feet but you ain't sure what to do, you've got some NASTY blisters going down there. [2]
Look for mechanical parts. Build the headcrab traps from HL2 (the crushing ones, I don't think we have enough juice for the other ones).
You find some scraps and suitable parts and manage to set up the trap somewhere near the front door. This will certainly end up in a mess..mwahah ! [5]
Very carefully carry the cleaning fluid up to as high a floor as possible without running into the barricade
Once on said floor test the lighter I found ( I did find one right? ) well away from the cleaning fluids then look around for big groups of zombies nearby.... or humans I'm not a picky psychopath.
You push your box up the stairs and onto the third floor. [4] There are several infected just bellow the balcony, few groups are circling the building and other are just hurling stuff around the street. Something blinds you for a second, a beam of sorts. It vanishes just as fast as it appeared. Your hear a gurgled sound coming from your right. [6]
Find the PA system in the office building.
You find the lead intercom inside the boss' office. [5]
"They're cannibalistic and contagious. Occupy Wall Street protesters aren't either--well, maybe a bit infectious. Regardless, it's almost nightfall, and we don't want to be on the ground floor when it goes dark..."
Get as many people and as much supplies upstairs as possible. Destroy the staircase before the zombies get in.
Few people help you move the supplies upstairs, thus you don't do really good. You manage to move 1/4 of the resources upstairs. [2] You smash away at the flimsy stairs, leaving behind but chunks. However, at this point, anybody with some upper body strength can get up. [4]
Buster woke up with a start due to all the racket. He had been sleeping in a small, for now unseen nook in the office. Getting a quick look around and seeing the degeneracy, he tries to sneak his way upstairs to the roof. "Fucking crazy people, the hell is going on here. Someone just tried to punch a supervisor, everyone's brandishing weapons. Supposedly there's people up here, they have to be more sane than the ones down here." If/When he finds them, he asks if he may join them so he can "keep away from the fucking nutjobs downstairs. Seriously, they're close to killing each other, you have to help me. Also, really need to have a smoke, and I don't care if its the apocalypse, I'm not smoking inside."
All the players being in one group is boring, more tension if split.
You sneak away from the commotion of the crowd and onto the roof. [5] The people there barricaded themselves quite well, you can barely see anything past the wood and metal wall. You try to convince them to let you stay with them but they shoo you off in after few minutes. Perhaps you could do something to prove yourself to them. [2]
"Alright, I'm not going to want to be here when you guys start killing each other. Hey Buster, can I come with you?"
If Buster doesn't mind, follow him up to attempt diplomacy with the people on the rooftop.
You try to help Buster reason with the other survivors but they won't let you in that easily. "Perhaps you could get us some food and drinks' ey ? We coulda' letcha' up here." [3]
Name: Silas Baine
Gender: Male
Item: i-Pod w/ headphones.
Go to the second floor carefully and look for a weapon.
"Well... bollocks."
Motherfuck. After rummaging around the boss' office you find yourself a shiny long sword. How authentic it is you'll know only by testing. [6]
"Well, bollocks, No other way I guess" Morgan sighs as he carefully takes off his flammable pants, then makes sure the pistol is loaded. "Going commando, oh yeah"
Then he goes up to the third floor to see what the fuss is about, Joining Buster and his compadre when he comes across of them
"'evening fellas, great time for some diplomacy eh?"
You try to take off your pants but somehow tumble, falling facefist into a desk. As if it wasn't enough your magazines spill and the bullets roll about in flammable liquid. Eeeeugh. [1]. You pick yourself up, still grasping at your bleeding face and go up the stairs to see what's up. [4]
