Sorry for the delay. Things happened yesterday that put me off posting on B12 entirely until a few hours ago, and then I didn't want to post because of a severe thunderstorm in my area. It's not that I would have lost the turn - Lazarus could probably save it even after a power outage - it's more that I hate getting interrupted in the middle of something and I find it hard to get back in the same mood/tone I was when I first started writing it. Anyway. GM troubles aside.
TURN 12
Xantalos attempts to frankenstein some keytars together. (1) He succeeds in doing so, but when he plays a note to test it, the entire music store explodes. Yes, literally. Somehow he lives through this, but damn is he hurtin'.
Yoink attempts to explain himself. (2) It turns out people don't like it when they go to a lot of expense for someone and that someone is ungrateful. Yoink is taken out to the parking lot and beaten within an inch of his life. Strangely, this mirrors reality in that the mall cops finally caught up to his sleeping form and gave him what for. (3) And not only is he still unconscious throughout all of this, but someone took his wallet, too.
Persus heads for the nearest hospital. (1) He gets there, but it turns out that's where the zombie infestation started at. There's no one around to help him. But he doesn't have to worry about the wrist anymore! Surprise zombies gnawing off a forearm will do that for you.
GL grabs the nearest person to interrogate them. (6) It's one of the zombies! "I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!" GL roars, blowing it away and immediately retreating to the nearest pawn shop, where he sells what's left of his car for all the shotgun shells the guy has left.
Derm looks through the shelves. (5) Ah, here it is. "DJing for the Discriminating Witchdoctor". Looks like a pretty thick book. Derm takes it down, sits on one of those little rolling step-stools libraries have, and starts to flip through it.
STATUS
Xantalos is FUBAR - Right leg from knee down is converted into a peg-leg, numerous broken bones, burn wounds, piece of rebar through right shoulder, deaf, blinded by smoke. Still has duct tape though.
Yoink isn't doing too good either - multiple broken bones, compound fracture breaking skin in right forearm, full, unconscious
Persus is in a bad place - Left arm from elbow down eaten by zombies
GL is getting ready - Has a DBSO shotgun and a lot of ammo
Derm is safe for the moment - Has "DJing for the Discriminating Witchdoctor" book.
