Thats enough waiting, it's time for a turn!
Katsuun:
You think logically to yourself. It's just a dead body, nothing else, it won't hurt you. Get over it...
You feel a tiny bit better and decide to go back in again. You sneak past the corpse once again and peer around the corner to see that the zombies haven't moved from where they were last time. Neither has the mysterious object on the counter. You decide to take a risk that the zombies will see you and you sneak out to the counter.
Careful... Quietly... Yes! You're there and you haven't been spotted! It helps that the zombies are facing away from you, and you quickly grab the object on the counter. You feel it over and realise that is a fucking pump-action shotgun! You grin widely and pull teh shotgun to you but you aren't used to the length of the weapon and it knocks over a confectionary stand and the zombies sudden;y perk up at the racket! They slowly swing around and start to shuffle towards you!
"Shit!"
You are ready to run out the back but you remember the possible bags by the back of the store! You could stay and fight the 4 zombies that are shambling their way towards you, as well as any others that may be in here and have the place to yourself, or you could run with what you got now.
You have enough time to make a single decision before the nearest zombie gets around that shelf.
Webadict:
You decide to find out more about this Matt character. He is interesting is a new face in this blackened out hollow of a town.
"Yeah, I'm looking for shoes. What about you?"
"I'm doing the same thing for some friends of mine. I've picked up some boots, as well as some hiking boots, which were a neat find."
"Really? I'm looking for some hiking boots, mind if I look at them?"
"Sure, I don't mind."
You take out one of the boots you picked up and compare the sizes to the boots that Matt pulls out. Its the same size!
"Sweet, would you mind if I trade these slip-ons for those?"
"How do I know you won't just run off?"
"I'll come with you to prove my good faith if you like..."
"Nah, it's ok, you don't have to. Are all shopaholics like this, huh?"
"Who said I was a shopaholic?"
You trade boots and you begin to pull on the hiking boots after taking off your running shoes. While you do so, you chat some more.
"So, I was wondering, why didn't you use that gun to shoot the thing as it came at me?"
"I would have, but I'm sadly out of ammo for it. I was holding the nearby police station with some others and we fell back into the building itself. There were some civilians in there as well as some police officers and we all needed better stuff so we all drew straws to decide who would go looking and what do you know, I got the short straw. So I went off alone and had to use the last of my bullets to waste some in the way zombies. I decided to look for better footwear first since not all the guys and girls had been blessed by having boots like mine, and I was finishing up when I heard your shots."
"I see... How did you get in by the way?"
"The backdoor of course. It was unlocked and I found a store manifest by the enterance to this office, in case you wanted to know."
"Huh. Guess you appear to be a good guy to have near you."
"Yeah, heh, I guess so. So, tell me about you. What are you doing here?"
You tell what you've been through so far and Matt listens intently, nodding in understanding. He seems like a decent guy so far and you can't help but like him and his nice attitude.
"Mind if I look at that?" You say as you point at the manifest.
Matt hands it to you without a word, and you look it over quickly. No iceskates in the store sadly. You hand it back and Matt drops it on the ground behind him. You finish tying up your new hiking boots and stand up. You feel a bit taller and your feet are a bit heavier, but you feel more safe in your new footwear.
"Lookin' good." Matt remarks as he look at your feet. "Now that we are aquainted, would you like to come with me? Or me come with you? It would be a good idea to stick together in this place, you never know when a helping hand could come in handy."
"I guess so. Where are you going now?"
"I'm gonna head over to a food store, something like a wall mart or somesuch and grab some food. Then I'll head back to the station to check on the others."
"How many are there at the station?"
"6 last time I was there. 4 officers like me and 2 normal people that made it there before we got swamped."
You think about your options. Go with Matt to a food store, or head out alone once more?
Org:
You logically think that a generator would be outside. The occupants wouldn't want the smoke from the thing filling the cabin, but they wouldn't want it too far away so they would probably keep it around the back or sides of the cabin.
You take one last look over the cabin from the door and satisfied that there is no generator inside, you head outside once more. The forest is starting to look more spooky than ever and you hurry around to the back of the cabin. Sure enough, there is a generator and you see your first major problem.
Its the plants. Thick tough vines are choking the generator and you can't get it to start. The vines are dead, probably from coming in contact with the fuel for too long, and you can't pull them away with your bare hands. You spend a while hacking uselessly at the vines with your cleaver and finally give up. You barely made any damage to them. They are still too strong. You need something to cut them away and your cleaver just isn't cut out for the job. You need something stronger and sharper.
You stand straight and take a breather, leaning against the cabin and looking around you at the forest. What now?
Vanigo, Archangel and Shikogan:
You all spend some time talking amongst yourselves as to what to do next. Jake wants to go looking for a radio or a sign, Asa agrees with Jake but wants to go to a bar first for some alcohol, Mattheiu is unsure as what to do next but decides to agree to go find a bar and George wants to find a radio or sign but isn't against going to find a bar on the way. A agreement is made through majority vote, they would all go find a bar first for stuff then go looking for a radio or sign, whichever came first.
They all rest for a bit before getting ready to leave the shelter. George takes out everything in his bag to show everyone. He's got a kitchen knife, a pair of binoculars, a camera with working flash and film, 1 days worth of food for one and 2 bottles of clean water. Not much. You all eat and drink a little and get ready to leave. George offers the binoculars and camera to the group saying that anyone can take them if they want. Asa takes a quick look outside through the shutters and sees that the coast is clear.
Shoruke:
Extreme situations call for extreme actions you rationalize to yourself. This however is not extreme, its suicidal. Shaking the worry off your shoulders, you prepare to do battle with the man eating plant. You sneak out into the foyer, put your back to the stairs incase you have to run and ready yourself. You shift your foot and accidently hit a can lying on the ground causing it to rattle on the floor!
The plant freezes and drops the corpse on the floor. The pads with the hairs on it quiver slightly in your direction and the plant turns to face you. The vines that are coming from it whip around behind it and the plant makes smaller rotations on the spot, as if its trying to find something. You ready your gun and point it at the bulb of the plant and pull the trigger rapidly! The gun lets out loud blasts and the bullets fly true! The plant recoils at the impact of the bullets and squeels in pain, vines whipping madly!
Suddenly, you stop shooting and you relise that you have run out of ammo in your clip. You take the loader out, pocket the gun and start loading the loader with bullets as fast as you can, cursing to yourself that you couldn't find another clip. You take a step back towards the stairs unconsiously and the plant spins around and faces you directly!
"Oh shit..."
You rush for the stairs just in time as spiked vines smash into the floor behind you! You manage to pocket the bullets in your hand into your pocket and with your hand now empty you slam the door open for the fire stairs, rush through the doorway and slam it shut behind you. You run up the stairs a floor and look back down just in time to see several long spikes to slam through the door!
"SHIT!"
You run up 2 more flights and look back down again to see the door get ripped off it's frame and the plant enter, smaller tentacles dragging it along the ground at a decent pace. You smile as you realise that it won't be able to reach you. Your too high for the tentacles and it won't be able to drag itself up the stairs. You take out the bullets and finish putting them into the clip and you reload your gun and shout at the plant:
"What's wrong? Stuck?"
You slap your hand down onto the rail and stop smiling as the plant whips towards you once again. The tentacles wave around in the air, feeling out the stairs and the plant does something suprising. You hear a poping sound and your eyes widen as you see the plant start to climb right up the wall towards you!
"Oh shit!"
You run into the nearby doorway and down the hallway, trying doors as you go. Locked, locked, locked, bingo! You swing the door open and find yourself looking into a janitor's closet, which contains a man cowering on the floor.
"Don't hurt me!" he yells at you.
"Don't worry about me!" You shout back as you pull him out of the closet quickly and turn him down the hall so he can see the killer plant climb over the rail in the stairway.
"WORRY ABOUT THAT!" You scream as you both see the bullet holes in the bulb close and the slugs pop out and fall on the floor with a tinkle. You start to run down the hall again, stranger in tow, trying doors as you go. They are all locked! You come to a t section of the hall. You can go left or right. To your left you can see what looks like a dumb waiter, to your right you can see a stairway that is halfway along the hallway. It leads upwards. The man is gibbering with fear and is at the moment totally useless except for following basic commands. The plant is closing in on you quickly!
What do you do?!
Strife26:
Its time that you got out of this death trap. You head back down the ladder and finally decend the stairway. You stick to the shadows and stealthy approach a nearby corpse. It stirs and you promptly stomp its face in with a couple of brutal curb stomps. It shudders and lays still. You head back into the shadows and wait until a nearby staggering corpse wanders by. It's skin is missing on its jaw and blood drips from its mouth every now and then. You slam your knife under the back of its skull and it goes in quite a bit. The zombie shudders and keels over dead. You pull your knife out and while holding it ready, you see a corpse slowly dragging itself along the ground towards you. Its missing it's legs. You curb stomp that sucker into oblivion!
You look around you breathing hard. You're still not well but you have cleared a space of 5 meters around the door and stairs. You sneak over to another corpse but it rises quickly! Before it lets out a loud moan, you slash its throat out and it lets out a low gurgle instead. It lunges towards you but you are ready and side step it and slip your knife under its skull and into its brain. It's dead and falls down. You take another look around and see that the wanderers have wandered away for a bit, so you take a breather against the wall near the door and analyse your situation. You have heard or seen any sign of the living.
