@FortunesFaded So I may have missed some details IC but I'm trying to look for information about this safe zone so I can describe it. I was going to go ahead and lay out the building in my next post from Chase's point of view but I wanted to make sure that you didn't already have your own vision for the building. If you do please let me know? Or if you want me to have creative freedom with it, I wouldn't mind that either.

At the moment I'm looking at some of the buildings that line 8th street on google maps using street view and such. There's some interesting places to post up.

Anyways I'm back from work and a little exhausted. Expect my next post no later than tonight.


The safehouse itself on 8th Street is a grey, pretty nondescript office building. There are signs around the street and in front of the building claiming that the area is safe. Inside, the first and second floors are empty (the door opens to a hall with a stairway headed up), and the third one -- an old insurance office, or something -- is where they've set up their meeting area, as well as the radio and food supplies. The fourth floor has a few mattresses and bedding in an otherwise empty room. Then there's the roof.

That's really all the description I wanted to give; feel free to give more and make the place your own. This will be the group's main base of operations for.. well, for now.

Believe me. We all have different was of posting. As long as you don't say things like the sky is purple and raining cats and dogs *looks at fortunes faded* ( don't think about it lol) you will be fine


Damn, you guessed the next story arc!

I'd recommend:
A) That you do it how FortunesFaded does it with both of his characters, Desmond and the other one whose name I've forgotten.

B) You use separate colours for their speech. EG. red for one, blue for the other.

@Ktyria

You could address both character's actions from one PoV if they're together? Like, one character's thoughts on what they're both doing?


I thought about that, but I also wanted both of their spots in it. Thank you, though!

Who is Cole thinking lost brownie points? Since we got more than the amount of military personnel needed, I suggest we just start using names

@FortunesFaded and pretty much everyone else. 8th street safe zone is now the University of Delaware Downtown Center. Closest real life building on 8th street that matched your description. Plus it sits across from a Hotel and in walking distance to some interesting places players can visit. No good pictures exist of the building on Google images but you can find it easy enough by searching it's name in Google Maps. Use street view to get a good look at the place and it's surrounding area.

Beat me to it.

I don't know the specific date, though.

I do suggest writing one P.O.V when both characters are in the immediate vicinity of one another. Dedicate a paragraph to each internal and external actions and switch off between the two. For example:

I wonder what Jane will wear to prom.. Jack thought to himself, letting his imagination go wild with colorful fantasies. He couldn't help himself, he just had to know what she was going to wear! "Hey, um, Jane..." Jack stealthy approached his would-be prom date from behind and tapped her on the shoulder, taking the moment to indulge his sense of smell and breath in a waft of Jane's coconut-scented shampoo. ".. Hey, so, umm.. You are going to prom, right?" Jack asked nonchalantly once Jane had turned to face him. ".. I was wondering if.. maybe.. You know..." This was it, it was time to ask! ".. If you'd like to go with me or not... To the Prom that is!" Almost a perfect delivery, but Jack already made the mental note to kick himself for stuttering on that last bit.

Jane turned to hear a nasally voice call out to her from behind, right before feeling a shaky finger tap across her shoulder. Oh no... please don't tell me... Jane already had her suspicions about who it was before she even caught sight of him. Part of Jane just wanted to run away, but she wouldn't be mean and would never run away.. no matter how desperate some might become. Jane turned, a friendly smile disguising her true feelings, and waved at Jack. "Hi Jack!" Jane had just managed to respond before Jack flew off with his true motive behind disturbing Jane's studies. ...Again? This is the third time this week! Why won't he just leave me alone! Jane rolled her eyes, which seemed to have gone unnoticed by Jack, before responding. "I'm sorry, Jack, but someone already asked me. Thanks anyway!" With that Jane quickly turned in her seat before Jack could follow up on her response.


Like that. ^

@FallenTrinity Hunter. The only other person in the room at the time. Sorry it's hard to remember names sometimes. And none of the characters technically know each other's names. (Well, everybody has the chance of knowing who Cole is but that's besides the point)

Hey I'm doing two characters as well. I know you asked how to go about it, here's my advice,

They at tools for your story. If one says something and the other doesn't need to, don't force the other to say anything.

They are paints to your canvas. You have red and blue. Don't use red just because its there. Paint your own picture!!!

Hope that made sense and/or helped.

Edited the very end of my post to include the gunshot from Billy's rifle. I was supposed to add it in earlier but forgot until I was thinking about it at work.

Also, mixing red and blue too close together far too often usually ends in an ugly shade of gray all over the canvas.
