TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... I don't know... We may as well head north. Maybe these zombies won't be able to take the cold.

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 12:20:46 PM

mechadragon13Key: *nods* R-Right... right... Th-That helicopter went north too....

TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... Then maybe that's where the Safe Zone is... come on.

*they walk*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 12:37:04 PM

mechadragon13Key: *walks along with him for a while, occasionally shooting at a few infected* ...We have to find somewhere to stay the night...

TheGameArtCriticHarry: I see a bit of graffiti on that wall. A red house with a cross in it, and an arrow pointing into the ally there. Think it means something?

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 12:42:28 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ...Probably... I've never seen it before... think we should take a look?

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 2:00:26 PM

TheGameArtCriticHarry: *cocks his gun, readying it* Yup. *walks with Key into the ally*

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 12:52:19 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *is silent the whole way, trying very hard to not shoot at everything that moves--there could be healthy people like them out there too*

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 2:16:06 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he walks down the ally with Key and reaches a red, metal door. On a wall next to it was the same house with a cross* ... Maybe we can stay here for the night...

mechadragon13Key: *nods* Good idea. *opens the door, and peers inside--seeing that there were no sick people inside, she fully opens the door and steps in*

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 5:41:22 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he also steps in and, seeing as the door was built to be barred, he does so*

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 5:51:11 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *looks around. the room seemed to be a kitchen at the back of some abandoned restaurant. there was ammunition and weapons on the counters, and the shelves were lined with military rations and cans of food* ....Huh.

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 5:59:31 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... Funny how all this seems like... a movie of some sort. Like, it's completely unreal. I'm sorry. What am I saying? This isn't funny at all. *out of nowhere he violently kicks a broken down oven, denting it*

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 6:04:11 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *jumps at the loud noise, and spins around to look at him* ... *takes the gas mask off* It IS unreal... I-It's pretty much a zombie apocalypse... *glances around* ...jesus, this is really happening... D:>

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 6:14:04 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he doesn't take his gas mask off. He doesn't want to* ... Yeah. It is. It really fracking is. It took Todd. It TOOK him... *he slides down against the dented oven onto the floor* ... No... it didn't... I took him... he's dead because of ME...

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 6:17:05 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: <:( ... *kneels beside him* Harry, it wasn't your fault... you have to stop telling yourself that it was. D:> If it wasn't for this stupid Flu, none of that would have happened...

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 6:22:23 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... I could have stopped him... it's not just that I shot him - I let him go OUT there...

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 6:28:40 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ...You didn't LET him go, he LEFT... If I remember correctly, he JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW. There's no way you could have stopped him....

TheGameArtCritic on December 28, 2011, 6:31:59 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... Just... just something... ANYTHING to stop him... GOD, I just... *he drops his head onto his knees which were at the moment hugged to his chest. Tears roll down his face and drop off his eyes, though Key could never find out with him still wearing the gas mask*

mechadragon13 on December 28, 2011, 6:37:11 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *can tell he's hurting, BAD--she can think of nothing else to do but hug him* ...

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 10:08:06 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Sam: *abruptly stops sobbing, and makes a startled-sounding noise, soon followed by an upset groan*

Key: *is incredibly nervous* ...H-Harry... remember she spent a lot of time around T-T-Todd... *berates her self for stumbling over the name*

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 10:11:54 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he stares at her for a while at the mention of Todd before speaking again, acting as if the mention of his dead friend didn't bother him as much as it obviously did* But zombies don't CRY... something must have happened...

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 10:14:46 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Sam: *groans a bit louder, sounding almost ANGRY*

Key: *takes a step away from the door* ...Harry....! D:

TheGameArtCritic on

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 10:45:35 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Sam: *suddenly screams--long, razor-like claws shred through the door, ripping it to pieces. glowing red eyes glare furiously at them as she claws her way through the door*

Key: DDDDDDDDDDDDD8!!!!!!!!!

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 10:50:04 AM

mechadragon13Sam: *her scream dies in her throat as she is killed instantly. she falls down into the shredded remnants of the door, only having gotten halfway through*

Key: DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 11:07:02 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... ... Come on, let's keep moving.

*they run out of the apartment building. The sky is an ominous grey, a light drizzle already starting*

Infected: *five turn and spot Harry and Key. They scream at them in their rage and attack*

Harry: !! *doesn't hesitate to shoot them, though he knows each one is just a sick person and apologizes in his head each time one falls*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 11:08:21 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: !!! *tries to shoot them, but her hands are so shaky she misses almost every single shot* D8

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *when he sees a zombie get too close to Key, he immediately smacks it as hard as can away from her with the butt of his gun* D8<

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 11:17:56 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *stays as close as she can to Harry at all times--scared and inexperienced, she would be killed or infected otherwise* D8>

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 11:25:49 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he manages to kill the rest of the zombies* ... Come on. *he walks with her, heading deeper into the city*

Helicopter: *the pilot announces via the machine's speakers a message -* TO ANYONE WHO CAN HEAR THIS! PROCEED TO THE CENTER OF THE CITY FOR EVACUATION!

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 11:31:04 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: !!! W-We should hurry! D:> *grabs Harry's wrist and tugs him along*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 8:23:03 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *gets out of bed* Alright. I'll be waiting out here. *leaves the room to give Harry some privacy, but doesn't go too far from the door. she leans against the wall with a sigh* ......

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 8:27:33 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he quickly gets dressed and walks out of the room. He spots the gas masks lying on the floor out of the corner of his eye. He picks one up and puts it on, deciding that perhaps he really does need to wear it. He underhandedly throws another at Key* Here.

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 8:36:16 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ! *catches it* Thanks... *puts it on* ...are you any good with guns? D;

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 8:43:19 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... Sort of. Todd knew. He taught me once. *he looks down at his feet in despair* ... Todd... *he shakes the feeling off and takes a pistol - the one he used to kill the soldier. He doesn't know why he takes the gun. He just feels that it's... necessary to hold it at all times now. He's about to go check on Todd, when -*

Todd: *with an inhuman scream and breaks down his door and leaps out, his face and hands cakes in dried blood*

Harry: !!!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 8:53:18 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: AAH!!!!!!!!! *backs as far away from Todd's door as possible* DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:00:14 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: *He screams at everyone, then leaps at Harry*

Harry: *in panic and without thinking, he raises his gun and shoots Todd. The bullet goes through his socket and hits his brain*

Todd: *he loses momentum and falls at Harry's feet, dead*

Harry: *he stares blankly at the body*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:02:23 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *stares wide-eyed at Todd's body, hands over her mouth, too shocked to speak* D8 ....

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:13:50 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *finally the reality of the situation hits him, and when it does, it hits him with as much force as it could give. He falls to his knees, turning Todd over, lifting him up and hugging him, sobbing* Noo...!! I'I'm sorry...! I never meant to - th-there could be a CURE... A CURE and I didn't give you a CHANCE...! I'm SORRY, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...!!

Todd: *he lies in Harry's grip, bleeding out of the eye socket where he was shot, dead*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:21:58 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *can only stare in horror--one of her best friends, dead. just like that*

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:24:06 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he continues to sob, forgetting where he is for the moment and incredibly upset. For years, Todd had been his only friend... and now he's gone forever. Because of HIM*

Todd: *dead*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:30:26 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *quickly becomes teary-eyed, mourning the loss of her friend... she knows they should probably be rid of Todd's body to avoid infection, but she wasn't about to tell Harry to stop grieving... no, she wasn't heartless*

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:36:51 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *And then something within him snaps. His innocence? His sanity? Either way, it is broken beyond repair. He has lost. The very person he tried so hard to keep safe, shot down by his own hand. No longer is he Harry Gatzsky, future filmmaker. Now he is Harry Gatzsky... survivor. He stands up and wipes his tears away. His tone is sharp, hardened, HARSH* ... We're leaving.

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:41:01 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *looks at him, a bit thrown off by the sudden change in tone* O-Okay....

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:46:55 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he puts his gas mask back on, having taken it off to wipe the tears away. he looks at the fallen soldier in Todd's room. Probably infected now. It wouldn't be safe to take his armor. This decided, he takes a pump shotgun and opens the door to the apartment building's hallway* ...

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:49:30 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ! *grabs a two pistols just to be safe. she wasn't sure if she could handle the bigger gun...*

*quiet sobbing could be heard down the hall*

TheGameArtCritic on December 27, 2011, 9:53:32 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *after listening for a minute, he connects who the sobs belong to* ... That sounds like Sam! *he runs to her apartment*

mechadragon13 on December 27, 2011, 9:59:02 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: !! *follows him*

Sam: *continues to sob, the noise seeming like it's coming from her room*

Harry: *unknowingly to him, he has, in his sleep, put an arm around Key, now rather close to her*

mechadragon13 on December 26, 2011, 2:48:42 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *wakes up the next morning quite confused due to the fact that she can't move--until she realizes that it was because Harry was hugging her from behind* o//////////o;;;;!!!!!

CREATE anything in a world like this... *he looks directly at Key, looks into her eyes* ... why don't you perk your head up and listen, huh? There's a sound in the air. Wanna know what it is?

TheGameArtCritic*suddenly the sound of Todd screaming in pain sounds out in the apartment*

Harry: !!!! *he doesn't think, doesn't care about anything at the moment - he has to be sure Todd is okay - Todd has to stay okay, or - he opens the door to Todd's room and is horrified by what he finds* TODD!! D8>

Todd: *he managed to put on his hoodie and some brown sweatpants before - both have the limbs wrapped in duct tape - though one is to wonder if Todd had done that to himself while deluded as he is now, or before and simply forgot to take the duct tape off. Either way, he now stands hunched over near his bed, hood up, clutching his eyes, and crying out from the BURNING. His skin is a bluish gray, his hair a grey-white, and his nails have somehow formed into black, sharp, shimmering claws*
