Staying in a city when the Dead walk not so safe even if you can find a safe place because the access to food and water won't last forever


I mean, that is kind of the point of a zombie apocalypse. Sure, our characters might think of finding a safe place, but the thrill of a zombie apocalypse is the whole "struggling to survive in a city with dead things that consider you a bag of potato chips and want to tear right in to you."

Eh, I like zombie apocalypses where the characters are actually smart and try to survive. If one can get out of the city, then one should do so and consider arriving at their destination the end-game. Now, if there was a military cordon all around the city to prevent anyone from going out, that'd be a different story.

I just don't like Rumiko contriving an excuse destination for us. It isn't about the character intelligence, its about contrivance.

I meant it more as what @Inkarnate said.

As smart as the idea sounds, it kind of defeats the purpose of this being a zombie RP. Sure, our characters may manage to escape to the island, but then what? There's likely no zombies on the island unless I decide to have the virus similar to the Walking Dead where everyone is already infected and the bite just does you in quicker. All said and done, it simply throws out the premise of there actually being zombies out the window and would more or less likely turn the RP into a sandbox-esque RP where they're just living on an island, maybe build a hut or two and eat some fish. Besides, who has any training with a sailboat (outside of perhaps Tomori)? It's not exactly the way I intend to take this RP.

A la The Last of Us or Dying Light, essentially? Perhaps something like that could be done, but who knows? I don't expect anyone to have Kyle Crane/Brecken-esque parkour skills yet, however.

these are random-ass high schoolers, not les stroud.

so unless you want to die of starvation and cholera at the ripe old age of 18, it'd probably be smart to stay where you can get canned goods.

The problem with zombie fiction is that no matter where the characters are, once they're safe, it's over. This can happen as well inside the city, it's just harder and much less likely to end well.

I have no problem with the characters staying in the city, by the way. I'd just like it if there was an actual reason for doing so.

A couple questions: Is there zombie fiction in the RP world?

Does this RP have a hidden plot, or is it more of a sandbox?

Hence why I agree with the cast staying in the general area.

Sure.

I'll leave that up to your imagination.

You mean your sheet? Sure, it's got my approval. Just drop the spoiler and use the post that you already created in the character tab.

Assuming his first name is Hikari, yeah?

That's where we're confused, then. I was asking for his first name, and you said both names. You see, in Japan, last names come first rather than first names.
