Hello Zombie Apocalypse Survivors!
[/font] [/color]I'm glad to see you're all still kicking and not inside some undead monster's stomach! Impressive. Keep thinking fast on your feet and you might just make it...
We have a new player joining us that several of you know. His name is Jonathan and in order to make things easier for him, I've written a recap. Now, calm down, I know that others are much better at summarizing things than I am, but keep your pants on. I decide how many flesh-eating bitches will be on your tail for the rest of your sad, shitty lives so be nice! If anyone has questions, feel free to ask here.[/font]

Recap:
So far, the zombie breakout in the city has just begun! This is a great time for to join. Let me tell ya what’s happened so far: Connor, a nice young man of Raccoon City, decided to throw a party of the city park. He has quite a few friends, and through the many invitations a lot of people showed up. Yeah, hippie-style nighttime park adventure are what people in this place do. Some folk chatted through the party, drinking and smoking, others watching horror movies on a T.V. brought over by Connor (he and his uncle live across the street, so they're cool enough to share the love.)
All of a sudden all the lights go out at the park, and chaos ensues! No one can get signals on their cell phones, all the streetlamps and park lamps are out, and sounds of panic begin to reach the park from the city center. Trying to stay calm, those at the party begin to group together and try to figure out what the sudden issue is. Police sirens wail, but they pass by the park without even breaking.
Suddenly monsters begin to emerge from the dark trees, battered, broken bodies covered in blood and moaning as they march toward the living. Everyone freaks the fuck out: who the hell are these people and why are the eating everyone like a bunch of sexy, delicious Carl's Junior burgers??!! Donald, a black ex-cop native to Raccoon City, has his large SUV close by and offers to get the remaining partygoers inside his car before they are attacked by these odd, undead people. Tyler, a young college student with bright red hair, immediately teams up with Don to help people into the SUV before the zombies close in. Donald is eager to impress his new friends and takes his pistol out of his glove box. In the panic, he accidentally shoots himself in the leg. The bullet grazes his thigh and doesn’t injure him badly, but there is still fresh blood everywhere.
In the process, a cute babysitter and the little boy she is watching panic and run away from the assistance. This girl love super heroes, and so does the boy she takes care of, so they're best buddies. Brianne, who works at a publishing company in the city, has just met a boy named Jaime Richards in the chaos, a playboy who fights in gangs at night and fixes cars during the day. When they see the innocent babysitter and boy running from the SUV instead of into it, Brianne runs to go help. Jaime doesn’t see the point in going after someone too hysterical in the darkness and sudden confusion; he gets into the car and orders Donald to drive by Brianne and pick her up. Connor gets in at this point, too.
Brooks and Trinity are brother and sister, and they only came to the park party to see if they knew anyone there. As soon as the shit hit the fan, they have no choice but to group with Donald and Tyler and are put safely in the car before the zombies can reach and grab them. Trinity is a new nurse and assists Donald with his accidental gunshot wound. Being the bad-ass that he is, Don immediately and blatantly flirts with the girl in front of her brother, taking off his shirt and flexing. Trinity, however, is not impressed.
Vala is a young woman from Raccoon City as well. Her father is a conman and has been teaching his pretty daughter all the tricks he knows; she is a quiet one, but shows little fear and should be carefully watched in the future. She and Brianne are still left outside the car. Donald hands Tyler his pistol, who is sitting shotgun (and, of course, smokin' a joint while he freaks at the zombies nomming people), and they quickly wheel the SUV around to mow down and/or shoot the monsters in front of them. SO cool.
The babysitter and the little boy are too far gone to hear Brianne screaming after them to come back to safety; as they run away toward the thick trees of the park, more zombies appear and tackle them. They are ripped apart and killed in minutes. Bummer. Brianne turns to see Vala near her, and they both position themselves toward the oncoming car before the undead turn their attention to them. They are picked up by the speeding car, but as Connor helps the girls into the cab, he slips and falls out, being crushed by the turning wheels then eaten by the monsters behind them. Vala is uninjured but Brianne has scraped and bruised her shins badly.
As they drive away, Tyler turns on the radio cause he's a man that needs his tunes, and the group hears an ominous message playing in a computer’s voice on a loop: “RACCOON CITY BROADCAST EMERGENCY SYSTEM NUMBER SEVEN NINE THREE, CODE RED: ALL CITIZENS ARE INSTRUCTED TO STAY INDOORS AND REMAIN CALM AND QUIET. CITY GATES WILL BE CLOSED AT MIDNIGHT AS PER NATIONAL ORDER. ASSISTANCE IS ON THE WAY. RACCOON CITY BROADCAST EMERGENCY SYSTEM NUMBER SEVEN NINE THREE: CODE RED.”
Jaime is quick to try and take charge of the situation as they leave the city park; after all, the party was Connor’s idea and he was dead now. Donald and Tyler are not people he is impressed with: the two boys make shitty jokes, aren’t aware of the other’s safety, and are constantly smoking. Tyler’s joint is quickly making the SUV’s cab hazy. Donald suddenly pulls off to the side of the road after driving for a moment: he sees a German Shepherd fighting some undead freaks on the sidewalk. The dog turns out to be his from his cop days, and he quickly calls her into the car before driving off again. Her name is Annie and she loves everyone.
Trinity, Brianne, Brooks, and Vala seem to be too scared to argue with a plan Jaime presents: he tells Donald to drive the car to a convenience store a mile away so they can find supplies and maybe some answers about what’s going on. Finally, someone with a brain, right?? When they get there, the streets are full of zombies wandering and screaming, looking for food. They cannot move very fast, but since this has just started no one has many proper weapons. There are three zombies just outside the entrance to the store, and Jaime, Donald, Tyler, Brooks, and Vala decide to fight their way in. Jaime explains that there is a special reason why he wanted to come in here.
Jaime has a knife in his back pocket that he fights with often, so quickly cutting the throat of the zombie in front of him isn’t a big moral issue for him. BAM! Tyler is resourceful and finds a broken broom handle on the ground, and uses the sharpened edge to stab up into his zombie’s brain. Very clever. Brooks has a smaller pocket knife which he uses to fight off and destroy his zombie. And he's so sweet about it! Vala only has her set of car keys to fight with: she arranges them between her knuckles and punches at the face of the zombie attacking her, puncturing its eyes and throat till it falls. This girl kicks ass already!
Right now in the Roleplay we are entering the store, and Jaime will reveal why this place was somewhere he felt they should go in such a chaotic situation with the undead running around eating people’s faces. In with the underground workings of Raccoon City, Jaime knows the crime lords as well as their ladies. The man that owns this 7-11-ish place also secretly deals high-powered guns and accessories in his cellar. Yeah, trust the sexy bad-boy, you guys... you know you want to! Jaime figures that firepower will be helpful in a city full of panicking people that may want to make some bad decisions to protect their own. He also feels that if he can keep Brianne safe, he’ll have made one good choice in his life taking care of an innocent girl. A piece of morality in this guy? No way.
The one thing to keep in mind is the radio broadcast: the clock is ticking. Our group will need to make a decision once they have all they want from the store: will they stay within the city walls and try to survive in a metropolitan setting, or will they race against the clock to escape the city and try and survive on the road somewhere else? The longer the decision making takes, the more zombies will come. Even if they don't chase you and climb to get to your brains YET, you will run out of gas. You will get tired. People will try to stop you. Being overwhelmed is highly possible. And who’s to say the government will let you go anywhere at all? Think fast, survivor, or you’ll definitely be on the menu!!
