Haruki says "I'm going to look for more stuff. Someone should talk to the friendly looking person. Someone else should an eye on the hostile people, in case they try doing anything." Robert replies "Well... um... I'll look for some more stuff too. I'll look over near the entrance and make sure no zombies seem to notice people are in here." Jane nods as
Haruki starts looking around for stuff specifically a janitor's closet. (4) After exploring a little bit, Haruki finds a janitorial supplies closet that looks like it has some stuff taken away, but not much. Then Moe announces his plans, "Guy below me's stealin my colors. Ah well, I'll take charge of the scouting and scuvanging missions, I've been survivin out in the swamps a looong time. Alligaters ain't much difrent to the zombies. Yuh get bit, yuh die of infection. Only a lut more of em... Have I ever told you of the time..." Robert is very annoyed at this and tells him "Woah! Don't go shooting randomly! Gunshots carry a long distance and every single kind of zombie uses sound to help find their victims. We don't wanna go around shooting unless there a big need to. That is unless you want this place to eventually be swarming with dead people. If it turns out there is pretty much a whole horde out there then that swarm will be here now instead of eventually. Please rethink what you're getting ready to do."
Meanwhile,
Dr. Chomsky searches for weapons and medical supplies. (6) He looks around, and finds that the only guns and medical supplies on this floor are stockpiled near the cafeteria by the hostile survivor group, but are currently unguarded. It’s a pretty big pile. The group in the cafeteria (2) does nothing. Dr. Chomsky hears one mention that they are waiting for two of their scouts report back after checking if it’s safe to move out. A fuming
Robert starts looking for supplies. (5,3) Robert finds a
box of bandages on the floor by a wall where loose straps are all that remains of a medical kit. It looks like someone got there before him. Then he looks for a view outside the building. (5) The doors in front of the building are glass sliding doors that open when you get near them. But one of your group disabled them so the zombies can’t get in, or you out from there without breaking glass. (1) Speaking of zombies the street outside is covered by them. If they get inside the building it would be very bad for the group. (4) Thankfully they seem to be ignoring the building, but if Moe starts firing they could begin to attack the building.
Jane follows him and starts talking, "Glad you're keeping watch," she says to Robert. "I'm worried about the ground-floor windows too, and aren't there other doors? This building's going to be something if we can really secure it." She licks her lips, then asks, "I think there's already some people securing the cafeteria's supplies, but I didn't recognize them and they sure didn't look glad to see me. Do you know any of them?" before glancing behind her for anyone approaching them. (1) Two guys from the cafeteria approach, one armed with a fire ax, the other with a shotgun. “Hey, you are not allowed here. Only the Risen can come here.” The guy with the shotgun points it at Jane, who looks like the larger threat seeing as she has her kendo gear on.
Jason starts smashing up desks. (4) He uses brute force to smash one to pieces. He pulls out his whittling knife and begins to make spears from two of the desk legs. (3+1)(5+1) He makes
one sharp wooden stake and uses twine and a sharp metal point to make
a sharp spear with another desk leg.
Clair Jade goes to talk to the friendly person who turns out to be a middle-aged women who until recently was probably an office drone. "Hi here! Who are you?" Clair purred. (6) “Thank god you’re here. I thought I was going to die. The people based in the cafeteria came in here and they began to talk about that they were the Risen or something and how the world was falling but they would rise. They killed everyone who was left here but I managed to hide. I saw you guys come in and was so happy. Can your group help me? I can help you guys in return. My name is Clair Stone.” Oh no, Clair Jade thinks, another Clair.
Moe heads up to the second story, pulls open a window, and starts firing at the horde of zombies. (5) He shoots 5 times and is guranteed not to miss (3+1,3+1,3+1,6+1,2+1) 3 zombies get bullets to the chest, 1 is shot in the head and dies, and the last shot misses. (2) The zombies moan but otherwise do nothing, for now.

Previous occupation: Restaurant Manager
Backstory: Having grown up as an abused child who was never popular in school, Jane's clever and careful and has mostly forgiven humanity for the torment done to her when she was helpless. She did graduate from high school and is quite intelligent; she might have gotten far in college but she wanted to work instead and was promoted well in various careers for being well spoken and dedicated. She started studying martial arts while still in high school, and in a sense she's still not grown up - she matured extremely early and started behaving with the restraint needed to survive the abuse she faced by the time she was four, but in many ways parts of her are still a child and could always be. She grew up with horror and has seen some of the absolute worst that human beings can do to each other; self control and control of her immediate environment is absolutely essential to her. So long as she can control herself, all actually is right in her world, no matter what monsters confront her or what form they appear as.
