Downfall RPG

For KJ, Carson and Joyce doing Important Things to the south of the hotel...

WHO: KJ and Joyce.
WHEN: Day 11 (placeholders are for fools?), mid-morning.
WHERE: Lobby then kitchen then lobby.

( Mummy? You're not a mummy. )

Who: Jasmine, Joyce, KJ, Tayne
Where: The streets, various stores
When: Day 11, noon

Jasmine was waiting in the lobby at about fifteen minutes until noon. She was nervous, holding the gun she'd requested (and hoped like hell she wouldn't have to use) as though it were going to bite her. Constantly, she checked to make certain the safety was on while she waited for the others, as though she feared the thing would go off on its own in her hands. "I wish I didn't need this thing," she mumbled to herself as she paced the lobby area.

Laying the pistol on an end table, she pulled her small stationary tablet out of her back pocket, re-checking the list of things she wanted to look for while they were out. Hastily scribbled on the bottom was a late addition, find a book about snakes! She sighed, looking at the variety of items she had written down and telling herself that they either needed some kind of super store, or they'd have to make stops at more than one shop. Maybe she should have taken that into account by splitting this into more than one trip... Oh, well, it's too late now, she told herself. She'd already gotten a group together, after all.

It was September first. In Joyce's mind, that meant it was the holiday weekend. Time for a big barbecue, having friends and family over. The kids would go back to school - though, of course, they were beyond school now - and after everyone had gone home, she could collapse on the couch in her PJs and watch old movies.

But not today.

( And leaving behind. )

Who: Alex, Reiko, Neil, KJ
Where: Somewhere in Detroit, not incredibly far from the hotel
When: Day 10, mid-morning

Alex creeped through the cars in the middle of the street, keeping his eyes and ears open for monsters. They were all over the place this morning and he silently cursed the weather for making this day a dark one. He shouldn't even be out and about today, he should be somewhere safe to wait it out but who knows what tomorrow would be like? He had to get out of the city, or at least try and find other survivors. There just had to be some, right?

He hid behind a truck as he came to the intersection and looked around for any monsters before he crouched next to one of the tires to grab a bottle of water from his bag. Just as he put the bottle to his lips something large slammed into the roof of the truck, caving it in and shattered the windows. Alex instinctively rolled away from the truck, still in a crouching position and looked up at the intruder. It was, of course, a monster and one that still looked partially human if it weren't for his overly large arms and upper torso.

Alex froze, his heart rate and breathing increasing significantly. He wasn't sure he could even move, that was until the thing roared at him. He sprang to his feet and sprinted down the street just as the monster lunged for him. "Don't look, don't look, don't look..." Alex repeated over and over again to himself, he had seen enough horror movies to know that looking back at your would be assailant slowed you down enough for it to grab you so he kept running and tried to formulate a plan that would let him grab his gun to shoot the thing. Unfortunately, however, the monster ran fast and he didn't know how long he would be able to keep up his present pace and he seemed to have lost his ability to think fast for the time being. It was quite possible that he was going to die.

WHO: KJ and OPEN.
WHERE: Fitness center.
WHEN: Day 10, mid-afternoonish.

Having decided to forego her morning forray into the big, brave new world, hunting for things to add to her collection, KJ decided that she could instead explore the layout of her new home. Starting with the ground floor- she had only really visited the lobby and the kitchen, and while those were important she was sure they were no the only places there. Passing through the bar, she took note of all the alcohol on the shelves (to take pictures of later, she was not a drinker), and the layout of the room. But it didn't particularly hold KJ's interest, so she moved on, pausing when she came upon a gym.

A gym, huh? Huh.

She had never been one to go out of her way to join a gym and get into the socially acceptable norm of fitness, although she did keep herself in good shape. But the room held KJ's interest. Although she was lifting the rocks with her mind, she still felt the strain in her muscles, as if by the virtual act of guiding them with her hands she were in fact lifting them with her arms. KJ supposed she would actually have to work out more often, now, to be able to keep up with the strain and not hurt herself. But the equipment looked daunting, and she had no idea what to do with most of it. Sit and stare? For the moment, she opted to stand and stare, taking it all in. Where to start?
