I've managed to create a season fanale for my character, who managed to live with a red / of head health.
**Character: Fusco
-Gens world.
-I woke up in summer, behind the sofa, surrounded by my booze and with my stuff strewn out along the floor. I grab it and stand up, smelling the smoke.
-Taun Gomez, my companion, was trapped under rubble, with a zombie attacking him. I left him.
-I loot a house across the street and run to the grocery store nearby to see if I can find a cart. i did get fircrackers.
-The store had groceries. Brioche, booze, some pipes I ripped up, and junk food.
-I find a house with a garage on my way south to check the parking lot there. enter it to find a flahslight, some gloves, some bearings, and assorted tools
-The liquor store is visited, and I take sparingly, preferencing cans over bottles bcause of my space requirements.
-The military surplu store grants me a kevlar vest, chicken MREs, boots, a winter jacket, and sheath
-The plan is now to head north from the empty parking lot and shack up in an outlyng house. I may or may not visit the sport store on the way, dependent on time.
-I find a working car as I pass down the street. I uneventfully transfer my stuff, move the cart off the road, and take off
-I throw a firecracker in the dark at away from my parked car as I arrive at my destination. If only to stop zoms from pathing to my car.
-There are 2 NPCs looting buildings to my south. Im leaving them be.
-Im the clothing store, I hear the sound of gunshots. I take half the store, including a large tent and some dving gear and a baseball bat.
-I park my car as close to the house north as I can. A library is directly north of the house. I will try to hide here for the day.
-A zombie kid proves too tough for me, and I end up fleeing in th car.
-I park mid-field and read a mechanics book. I hallucinate a zombear and skeleton, which are actually plausible.
-I then go to scout. I find several roadblocks, and a public works station.
-A tank drone is slaughtering zombies wholesale. I sieze the chance to run inside a store.
-Tank bot set fire to the motel and surround buildings, as well as destroyed the Roadblock
-I travel north, and find another town. I find several bodies.
-As the sun begin its descent, I pulled up to a manson of some kind. I need a sewing kit amoung other things. And to cook water.
-I do not find a wrench, but my other needs are met on the night raid.
-I fix the room I want to sleep in, on the southeast of the mansion, with fridges, bookshelves, and plants. pic 007
-I sleep all of night 2, and wake up to find an NPC trying to rob me. I kill him, though he almost cripples an arm.
-I spend the next 24 hours crafting, sewing, and sleeping. OR trying to but stomache heaves and hallucinations.
-It is now Night 4. I go to the tank drone spot. There's a gas station there, that is OOO. Tank drone is moderately injured, chuggin' along still.
-I can't find the car, so wander around flicking on the flashlight until it runs out of batteries. I then start lighting brush fires so that at least can know where Ive been.
-The sun comes up, and I find a zombie playing inside of it, cracking my windshield. Ill have to get soem mechanics skill and fix that . . .
-I don not sleep, instead opting to read my mechanics up to level three with several swiggs of booze and irritation when the fractal vision occurs.
-A human was inside the mansion at one point, popping shots at presumably zombies. I ignored him as was outside in some plants.
-I spend the next few days dicking around. I found a corpse in the old dry pantry. A heavily injured zombear nearby suggets that they classed. Bullet casing for their 9mm SMG are everywhere, as is blood (for this game)
-I slept on Day 08, and a zombie dog woke me up, having crashed into the room. A zomebear soon follows, but having been weakened by the NPC I mcan kite it and shoot it with a nail gun.
-On the 9th day, I cleaned upn the zombear, and organized the mansion insofar as I planned to use. I have a lined the tables up in a dining room so that I can lay out excess materials and tools, I have taken stock of my booze/food situation, and I have placed all the weapons in the car.
-I have a rack for zombie clothing that is in the hallway, and I placed food that needs to be cooked but is not perishable in the pantry.
-I went out Night 09. I found a refugee center while searchng for welding equipment. A factional remainsof the GOV called the Old Guard has offered me a contract on the head of 3 outlaws in a cabin. It is 50 overworld map tiles south of the location
- I agreee, Ive been meanind west of my masnion. A river and anthill to the far north, the refugee center to the north and east, and
-I spend a few days dinking around, including a full day spent reading and tunkerng with my car, turning it into the named 'lootwagon'. It has 2 hatches for doors, and trunks and reinforced headlight that shroud the drver but lght everything else.
-Pic 012, I loot three gun stores, 2 of which has sparse ammo.
-I go to that armored humvee I saw. I plan to take what I can from it and speed off. The ants cant bite through the metal, and kill anything that can smash through before they get close, so Im safe for the moment while In the car. pic 013
-I return back to the masion and sleep for 10 hours. I begin unloading the heavy frames, and it occurs I could make a cart to speed it up. I go to collect 4 pipes.
-A survivor tells me to drop my weapon, which was a pipe. So I did and pulled my revolver. Good story.
-I begin working on a folding bike. I am missing a saddle, for one.
-After unloadng the heaviest of parts, I went to go boil water, and the fire trailed off into the mansion. It went up fast and hard.
-I sit in the light of the fire, cleaning the water in the immense heat.
-I then go and collect over 1000 nails from the outside perimeter of the ruin, and will deconstruct my crafter cart and fold up my incomplete bike to take with me. Shame about the tent.
-On my way out of the mansion drive I hit an NPC weilding a flamer. Kind of half opps. I swerved as he kept moving and we collided.
-After my tragic lose, I went into the field and took stock of my supplies. I lost much of the long-term supplies I had accrued, and was left with the heavy frames and more immediately useful tools and booze. I was planning to go sober soon too, the constant need to drink is quite unhelpful
-I go to the farm to sleep the day away. I need to restart my kevlar/steel/plastic/leather/cloth collections, and begin there, in the house of the dog pack. They have a cow corpse in the bathroom, half-eaten.
-I head east and south, scouting the fields. I find some drop crates and another suburb.
-I stop at a sewage treatment plant west of the town I started in. It is close to the cabin where my mission is. I plan to detox there.
-I stocked all my food inside and threw my last bottle of wine into the sewage. I used it to craft clean water. Hopefully I have enough food to break the addiction.
-By balls of day 20 I am cured, and sleep the night alcohol addition free. pic 016b
-Traveling down the road that leads from the sewer plant to town find a shelter off to the side. It is lightly populated with zombies and clean except for the minor window damage the zombies have caused. I may keep it if I survive.
-I craft pipe bombs and some metal fists until night time, and head off armed with a steel spear, a .45 pistol, as c4storm, and the metal glove.
-Upon arriving, I step on a landmine and blast open the window in front of me. I am relatively well armored, and take moderate damage. Leaning in and flashlighting, I see 3 bandits.
-They shoot at me with automatic fire, but mostly miss. I light and throw a malotiv. It lands directly in front of one, incinerating him.
-A second runs around the flame and to thew window. Taking out my .45 pistol, I Blast his face off, and arriving more cautiously is a third bandit, who meets a similar fate.
-While we fight, the cabin is going up in smoke. I grab their weapons, a browning and a crossbow, and leave the building to rot. Since I dint know if the quest triggers on its own or not, I wait around.
-A jumping spider comes by, and a zombie dog spooks it. I shoot them because I couldn't spear the spider. A second spider comes. Then a giant worm comes. It bashes my head a bit until I pull out the pistol and blow it in half.
-By the time I butcher it the cabin is good and broiling. It is time to head back and nurse my wounds. Its balls30of Day 21, the last day of summer.
And some pics, that may or may not be referenced in the notes.
This is day 21 now, and the lasty day of summer. A week for every RL month.
