Zoe was stuck in a janitor's closet for a few hours while the Zombies lumbered through the hallways. She thought she heard someone run by, but she couldn't be sure.
It's now or never
She tells herself as she carefully grips the doorknob. If there was a zombie outside, she would have to be ready to act quickly. She wrapped her free hand around the knife tucked into the waistband of her jeans.
"One." Deep breath. "Two." She squeezed her eyes shut. "Three."

"Okay... So do we have the hockey sticks or the bags? Hopefully the bats... I have a bottle of water in my bag, hang on a second." Matt grabs the bottle out of his backpack, which he had left next to a desk, and jogs back with it, offering it to her. "Here."

--

Since Mario acted like a zombie, they completely ignored him, passing by him without so much as a curious sniff.

((Zoe eeeey, check da RP threadd. Where'd you get the knife?))

Irene gratefully accepts the bottle from Matt and downs half of it immediately.
"Now that we have weapons... we can go about and secure the cafeteria. We need a source of food and water since the power's out. There should also be knives we can use there too. But first..I need a break."
Irene unslings the bag from her shoulders and opens it to find hockey sticks.
"Bats would've been better, but hockey sticks are more upgrade-able if we can find duct tape or something from the art room. Or maybe even superglue from Foundations of Technology? Spread it out on the ground and have zombies stick to it or something--flypaper, but zombiepaper."

Realizing that a plastic knife probably won't be very helpful, she sets it aside in favor of a broom from the janitor's closet. When she pushes the door open, slowly, the hallway is, for the moment, clear of zombies. She quietly slips to the corner of the hall and looks around; there are three zombies close by. This may be her only chance to get back to the others, so she makes a split second decision and lumbers into the hallway, walking disjointedly in an effort to mimic the zombies. When she gets to the end of the hall, she sprints for the doors to the media center.

((I couldn't tell what room we're in at this point. Gym, media center...?))

Matt takes back the water bottle, giving it a sad glance and mentally noting to himself that he should hide the rest of it, or at least ration it out. "Hmm... I actually like this microphone stand better right now. I'd gladly take a bat if we had one though. Yes, the cafeteria sounds like a good idea. It's not too far away either, since the media center exits right across from the cafeteria." He laughs at the thought of zombiepaper. "There isn't going to be a glue strong enough to keep a zombie restrained! They'd step out of it as easily as you or I would.

Matt snaps his head to the right upon hearing rapid footsteps quickly approaching. Who is that...? "Zoey!?" When did she go outside, I never saw her leave.
He runs over and opens the door for her, nervously eyeing the zombie several yards behind her. "Quick, get in!"

[Irene, using Matt's account]

Irene lays down and closes her eyes.
"Wake me up if anything happens. Going to take a short break."

[Kate]

She remained on guard for zombies while Irene and Matt talked, and nods to agree with Matt about the microphone stand.
As Irene lays down, she nods to her. "Got it."

((seriously how has it been six hours?! What is this I don't eveeeen))

Zoe breathes a sigh of relief as Matt opens the door for her and she rushes inside, still clutching the Janitor's broomstick. She glances around the media center, still illuminated by one of the lamps above the tables, and tries to discern who of the the original group still remains. After her breathing has slowed, she looks to Matt with raised eyebrows.
"What did I miss?"

"Looks like me, Kate, you, and Irene there are the only ones here who have any sense in them. We have microphone stands and hockey sticks as makeshift weapons, and no running water until we figure out how to fix the power. We also need to get food somehow.... The cafeteria will supply us with both food, water, and knives, so I say we head there first."

Irene heard the whole conversation as she was only half-asleep and blearily opened her eyes.
"We should do it now. Before zombies overrun this entire place."

She takes a deep breath, lets it out, and nods.
"Yeah, Irene is right, the sooner the better. It's not like anything much will help us if we don't secure necessities." Kate says, still on guard for zombies.

Irene slowly got up, picked up her baseball bat, and made her way over to the door closest to the cafeteria.
Turning around she asked, "Are you guys coming?"

"Of course." Matt joins her by the media center doors, which were just across from the cafeteria. "What'll we do if the cafeteria doors are locked? Or if there are too many zombies? We may have to retreat back into here if things get to be too much." That, and I don't know if these guys will really be able to handle killing zombies.

"We can always ask a teacher for the keys, although it might take some time to figure out which one unlocks the cafeteria. And yeah, we'll retreat if there are too many. Someone should stay inside by the door so we can get back to the media center easily. We can also just run into the cafeteria, grab supplies, and run back out if the situation becomes too shaky."
I really wonder where these zombies are coming from--somewhere MST down perhaps? Considering when I first saw them, they were coming from below and only from the right. We also need to patch up that breach somehow... so we can stem the flow of zombies and eventually eliminate them all.
"Shall we go now?"

"I'll be door guard." Kate said, watching them go and leaning on the doorframe.
Hopefully they come back in one piece. She thought worriedly, idly spinning the microphone stand.

"Wait, we should probably take the keys with us."
Irene goes over to a teacher and obtains the keys.
We should also test to see which key works for these doors.
Irene walks over to the door leading to the small office inside the media center and tests out the various keys. After several tries, she finds the right key and separates it from the rest.
"Now we're ready to leave."

"It'll only get harder the longer we wait. Here goes." Matt takes a deep breath, tightens his grip on his makeshift weapon, and pushes through the doors. He only gets a few steps, just past the SGA room when a snarl alerts him just in time to the zombie lurking right around the corner. The zombie was a highschool girl with chunks of hair missing and long bloody gashes on her cheeks. Matt barely manages to get the microphone stand up in time as she leaps forward with surprising speed, pinning Matt to the wall. "Oh, ****!"

Matt struggles to keep the zombie off of him for a moment, leaning his head as far back as possible to avoid the gnashing teeth, then pushes forward off of the wall, knocking the zombie over. He stabs the end into her chest and pins her to the floor, leaning on the pole with all his weight to keep her from getting up. The struggling dead thrashes its arms wildly but can't reach past the pole to grab Matt. Irene! Help!

Irene turns around when she hears Matt's cry of help. Wielding the bat with two hands, Irene swings the bat ferociously downwards onto the zombie's head.
With a loud 'Crack!', the zombie fell still on the ground.
"One down. Probably many more to go."

Whew, thanks. That wasn't so hard, just took me by surprise. Matt gives the now truly dead girl a swift glance as he lifts the microphone stand. I don't feel anything for her, but I'm not surprised. That's just the way I am. Maybe if I had known her I would have. If I do see someone I know, I can't let that get me killed. My friends wouldn't want that. Ready to go now, adrenaline surging through his body, Matt ventures forward and checks the corner to his left. His caution is rewarded, as another zombie had apparently heard the commotion and was making it's way over to him and about to round the corner. Matt thrust the pole forward, hitting the zombie in the chest and knocking it onto its back. Before it can get up, Matt raises the pole above his head and stabs it down as hard as he can. The pole slides through the zombie's eye socket, crunching through with less resistance than Matt expected. The zombie stops struggling nearly immediately. Matt braces his foot on the zombie's chest and pulls it up with a tug, blood spilling out of the hole and dripping off of the end of the pole. "Heh, that's one... Hey Irene, can we swap weapons? No offense, but I'm stronger than you and I'll be able to use that better." Matt refers to the aluminum bat Irene was holding.
