Todd: *he pulls off his hood in order to wipe off some sweat, revealing his greyish-white hair - most likely ruined from infection* Well, it's not like we could exactly HELP getting ambushed by a bunch of zombies, now could we?

Harry: frack. *shoots at the Jockey*
Spitter: *still hides behind the tree*
Todd: *notices a group of zombies running in their direction, making the situation ten times worse* shoot.
Me: yes, it can get this chaotic in-game. XD

Todd: Harry, we've got a problem! D8
Harry: *can hear the incoming horde* FFFFFFF...! *he finally manages to shoot the Jockey off*
Jockey: *the body falls into the acid*
Zombies: *SWARM AROUND THEM*

More: *Come (cue horde drumming music, lol)*
Harry: *has no time to switch his shotgun out, so instead, is forced to waste rounds on the horde, as opposed to a larger threat, like a tank*
Todd: *claws at the infected, finding it surprisingly effective. His clawing was strong and sharp enough to slash open the neck of an infected*

*eventually the numbers die to a few stragglers, who quickly fall as well. Eventually the Spitter comes out, charging at them kamikaze-style, gurgling and screeching all the way*
Harry: *shoots her down before she can even reach them, all of her acid leaking out of her corpse*

Todd: I slipped, or something... I think...
Harry: You were pushed, Todd. A zombie was there, saw you, and sprinted at you as fast as it could. Then when you fell, it went after you and bit you.
Todd: ... oh...
Harry: Then you slowly got more and more sick... and paranoid... and... you... *his voice gets kind of quiet* you threatened to kill me...
Todd: I don't remember that...
Harry: No, you wouldn't. It was the disease, not you. *half changing the subject, half actually interested in what he sees right now* Oh! Oh look! A sign pointing the the safehouse!

Harry: *opens up the door, and lets everyone in before barring it with a cold "ka-chunk"* Alright. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, Todd. A lot.
Todd: Hell yeah.
Harry: This safehouse appears to have a bathroom. I need you to go in there, and look in the mirror.
Todd: ... uh... ok? *he wanders off into the bathroom*
Harry: *quietly to Key* ... I don't know how well he's gonna take this...

*the only other room besides the bathroom, and the entrance-like nameless room is a bedroom with a rotting carcass in the bed, laying in the darkness*
Graffiti: *above the bed (and corpse) it reads "Fred Hilligans, 1946-2012"
meanwhile
Todd: *comes out of the bathroom with a look of terror* I... I'm missing my eyes... and I'm COVERED in blood...
Harry: You tore out your own eyes, Todd. You're covered in blood because of what you did as a zombie.
Todd: Oh god... oh god...

Key: *draws a sharp breath in surprise, but refuses to cry out. instead, she mutters a string of curses as she looks away, damning whatever idiot left a corpse in a safehouse. after debating whether she should stay there or return to the conversation, she chose the lesser of two evils and shut the door, heading back to the main room, but staying as close to the walls as possible to avoid having attention called towards her*

Todd: ... how can I see?
Harry: I don't know. Maybe echolocation, or something.
Todd: ... maybe that's why everything's so loud...
Harry: ...
Todd: *nervously laughs to himself* Heheh... heh... I look like my grandpa, now...
Harry: Todd, your grandpa's dead.
Todd: Exactly. What color is my skin? I can only see in shades of yellow.
Harry: Eh... greyish-blue.
Todd: Ho-shoot. I'm a human, and I look like a walked off the set of a horror film.

THE NEXT MORNING
Harry: *puts his gasmask on, and grabs his gunbag* Alright. We're heading out.
Todd: Alrighty. Hopefully we won't run into any more of those creepy laughing things, right?
Harry: Who knows. Maybe one's right outside the door. Waiting to sneak up on you.

Harry: Oh for the love of - hit it BACK, Todd!
Todd: eehh... *is beaten again*
Harry: |8C
Zombie: *finally beats on Todd one last time before...*
Todd: *some kind of zombie survival instinct kicks in, and with a screech, he pounces on the zombie, and disembowels it*
Harry: D8 ...
Todd: *gets up, new blood now spattered on his hoodie and pants. He shakes himself off* Wow, that was THE weirdest shoot.
Harry: You can still do that? Except to zombies, not people?
Todd: I was doing that crap before?

Key: *huffs. she'd take the tiny energy bar from the previous morning over any of this stuff.... she grabs a can of the baked beans, and dusts it off. after deeming it edible, she grabs another and returns to where they were sleeping. sitting back down on the ground, she grabs her knife, cleans the blade as best as she can with her t-shirt under her hoodie, and cuts the top of the can open*

Harry: *cannot see what's causing the noises, as he fears turning on his flashlight THAT HE HAPPENS TO HAVE, for the infected are attracted to light. That doesn't mean he doesn't already know what it is, however* There's a Boomer up ahead of us. Not a good idea to go running into it. *readies his shotgun*

Harry: *nearly drops the shotgun, mirroring the girl earlier that morning, he then watched her run for an attempted suicide* Whuh - WAIT! STOP! *at the same time, he desperately continues firing at the Tank*
Todd: *stays with Harry*
Tank: GGUUUOOOLLLRRRGH!! *rockets a swollen fist at his target*

Harry: *runs over a bit, following the Tank so that he can shoot it from behind still*

Todd: *now that the Tank is dead, he doesn't struggle as much*

Harry: *he lets out another few seconds of silence* ... *finally, he mumbles out something quietly, as if there were other people around who could hear* I'll wait. *he pauses, as if thinking about something, then shakes it off* the Tank left us running backwards. We need to go back, and head into the direction we were supposed to.
Todd: *struggling, as he normally does*
Me: So he spared her life. For now.

It took Todd a couple of days, but he was turning into a "special" one of them... how long do you figure you'll last?

Hopefully his friend won't figure out that chewing on the leash could break it, and set the tortured infected free. He then proceeds to bar the metal door behind him, then sit down on a beaten up old couch* sigh...

Harry: Yes, there is running water. Good. We have a working toilet. Don't drink the water, though. It could be contaminated from the zombies everywhere. Not pure in the least. *pauses* And then I just realized how fracking tired running around with a gun can make me. If you'll excuse me, I'll look around for any sleeping bags. You can take the couch if you want. *he goes off again to search for said-sleeping bags. A good thing this girl wasn't so talkative. He hated the jabbering people he'd sometimes come across.
