[OOC] Infected [Reboot]

[PrettyWings]

I will do that. :-) ill probably tell it in retrospect so im not controlling feather at all. But i will leave it in a way that will be easy to reply to. *^_^*

[PrettyWings]

@FaithsRose Post is up! I hope I didn't take too many liberties with Feather... Let me know what you think, its time to go shopping! *^_^*

@PrettyWings

o.o Wow...you didn't take too many liberties with her xD Thank you for painting her the way you did ^^ Willing to go down in the glory of battle and telling him straight out that he had a broken an important rule, you caught her character perfectly with those :D Thank you so much for that! ^^

I can get them into the mall, no problem thanks to such an awesome opener xD Unfortunately I have a fairly long shift to get through this evening so I won't be able to have a post out until tomorrow :'( Sorry to continue holding everything up >.<

[PrettyWings]

Im so glad! ;-) Post when you can, we'll get this story told yet!

@MistressCyanide Are you still considering posting the body shop scene?

@PrettyWings

Yeah I am still going to do it. An idea of how to stop her fighting for a while still hasn't come to mind though.

[teapotshark]

You could give her a temporary injury which inhibits her ability to fight? Maybe a broken arm.

Also I imagine a horde of undead will be approaching the group from within the mall by now. Have fun!

[FaithsRose]

Sorry for the delay >.< Post is up ^^ Though I'll be honest it's not particularly great :/

Going through a bit of tough patch at the moment, been finding it difficult to concentrate and write >.< Hope its good enough to move on from though!

[teapotshark]

Excellent work, guys! I'll start writing a post as soon as this one goes up. Time to get our groove on!

EDIT: Posted! I imagine Mourning Mama will fast become a victim of this horde. Also, I just had some great ideas about where Tony's going to take his personal goal.

EDIT 2: Even more plot bunnies abound. On the big scale, I think Blaine's presence is going to be really beneficial in moving the story forward. If we make decisions now on how far the infection has spread and what the situation is like elsewhere in the country/world, some things Blaine may be privy to due to his backstory.

[PrettyWings]

Great posts guys!

Sorry it took me so long. :-(

@teapotshark

Imagine she would ^^' on the plus side may give our characters more of a chance of getting away from the main body of the horde <.<

Referring to edit 2 are we thinking this infection is world wide or country specific?

Thank you for posting ^^ No need to apologise for that!

@FaithsRose

Poor Mama, even if they tried to help her (and I reckon Chris and Tony will if no one else), she's doomed.

That's what we need to figure out. Since it's only been about a month or so since the outbreak, how fast shall we say the infection has travelled? I would say it is beginning to effect other countries, but central Europe may be safe-ish for now. If the American military acted fast enough, they might have locked the infection inside the country for the most part. Either way, Blaine might know a thing or two about it, and that could help our characters and us come up with an endgame.

[MistressCyanide]

I posted but I still can't think of a reason why she would not fight.

[teapotshark]

Terror? In the fight-or-flight response there's a third option: freeze. She could be struck with that, although it would make her survival very improbable.

@teapotshark

I meant what would cause it.

[teapotshark]

I can't think of a solid reason why someone would choose not to fight in events such as these, save mental illness, or some great belief in the divine. You'd have to be very good to survive in an apocalyptic world without fighting.

[PrettyWings]

@teapotsharkLet me know if you want me to start forshadowing things, i had a couple ideas in mind for that as well. :-)

[teapotshark]

@PrettyWings I'd love to do some plotting and hear your ideas.

Let's put it to the others. Do you guys want in on what could go down, or do you want surprises?

@teapotshark

I'm more of a 'like to be in the know' person xD But if you want to lay in surprises am fine with that <.< I've recently been making my way through The Walking Dead season 5 so pretty loaded up on zombie inspiration myself :P

@teapotshark

I looked into the fight-or-flight response thing a little while ago, I can't even remember where I read that the flight or fight response can be 'broken' as such simply by the everyday stresses of modern society :S All links into stress somehow >.< I can't find the place I read up on this any more which is really frustrating but basically what I'm getting at, is a perfectly normal person could suffer from it, something goes wrong in the wiring and instead of fighting or running the person 'freezes up'

Why not just go for the original 'flight' rather than a 'fight' person? Either the flight or freeze things can eventually be overcome with a little bit of help. Just considering she has been on her own, I'd imagine being someone that would rather run away from the infected rather than fight them could be enough of a reason? :S

[PrettyWings]

We can plot it out or just react as we go, sounds fun to me either way!:-)
Although i recently started feeling that i reeaally want get Sabrina involved. *^_^*

@FaithsRose i know i didnt advance us very far, sorry if that makes it difficult to play off of. :-/

Looks like we may need to get to the second floor to intercept Mistress's gal. :-)

@PrettyWings

What's making you hold off on getting Sabrina involved? <.<

It doesn't make it difficult! Honestly don't worry :D I can work with what you've posted and to be fair I really enjoyed reading through your post, especially Blaine's reaction in the first half ^^

I was planning on gently nudging Blaine and Feather towards Libertina :P

I'm sorry for the delay in posting I've been really short for time this week >.< I'm in the process of writing up a post for both Feather and Mercy but I won't be able to continue writing it/finishing it until Sunday :/ Apologies for the delay!
