Well, Calla. I'm part way through this post of yours. We're writing in typical story format, in third person limited, rather than first person/first person omniscient. 

Since clearly you, yourself, have not been in a zombie apocalypse, nor are ever likely to be.I would say "when did -you- do all this?" but I'll be nice. There's some grammatical or spelling errors in a few places but no big deal. I would also like to point out that this is well. Casual. It's more than just a waterslide, but not all the way to Sea World. A paragraph or two is acceptable, more is usually good, usually somewhere around 3 to 5, so don't be concerned with trying to hit the RP Guild's typed character limit per post, each time you post. The overall length is probably more appropriate to Advanced, which is great. I would say that with the few things I find wrong, this is probably High-Casual, which is an unofficial designation here. 

Overall, so far what I have read is pretty decent. I'm planning on finishing it here shortly. I wanted to give my first impressions though before I finished it.

On a side note: If this character is merely a well-trained lawyer (per your character sheet).. Why fly for a murder case? Typically lawyers work under their local District Attorney and rarely take cases far enough away to fly. Among the logistical problems involved, there's also the problems with being able to review evidence and build a defense, and or interview witnesses, much less prison visitations (for clients unable to make bail) and there's usually a hearing, and a trial may go on for long periods. Also contrary to what Law & Order would have most people believe, most lawyers or attorneys are working several cases at once, sometimes a dozen or more., which is another reason they tend to stick to their local area. That and if you don't have to track the laws of a dozen different states, counties, and districts, it gets easier. Also, every state, every single state, has their own Bar exam.It's not the same from state to state. When you are being tried for a crime, you are generally tried in the state the crime was committed in. If you murder someone in California and were caught in New York, generally they will put you on a plane or a bus and send you back to Cali. 

She must really like to smoke, a lot. You reference it a lot. 

I do have a question about the camping/hunting trip - Did they get jumped on the way out, or on the way home? And how close to town were they?
