The Walking Dead - Northwards

With a sigh, Jack nodded at the siblings' story. He had seen things they described happen to others in his travels, and wouldn't wish some of the treatment experienced by these people from gangs on his worst enemy.
"Sometimes I honestly don't know who's worse - the monsters that caused the end of this world, or the monsters that survived it," he remarked, idly picking up a stone and skipping it into the woods. Some part of him, deep down, knew that it wasn't going to be better out west. There would still be gangs, and psychopaths, and the ever-present threat of the undead. It didn't change with the geography. But up in Cougar Rock where people were an anomaly, it wasn't so bad. For now, anyway. If there was one thing he learned, it was that this life was ever-changing; tomorrow could be a different story entirely. Taking a bite of his steak, Jack turned his attentions back to Chris and Claire.
"If you don't mind me asking, what do you guys plan on doing after this? Stay here, or move on?"

Captain Shelton said I'd like to see them CLEANING their weapons.

Hmm.. Desmond actually did do this with the Beretta ;) Cleaned and dis/re-assembled the pistol while contemplating life in a lawyerly way. I did so much damn research for those 30 second descriptions lol, even bought an app that simulated the actually disassembling

Democracy in Action: A Governmental NRP

Oh, hello again! Been a while since the old site :)

I've had an idea like this rolling around in my mind ever since starting House of Cards, just didn't know how to set it up as a RP. Absolutely brilliant job on this Int Check. Every fiber of my being wants to throw myself into this, but alas.. I'm too busy as is. I'm afraid I'll have to read this from the sidelines until my schedule clears up. I do wish you the absolute best of luck going forward with this though!

P.S. Love the quotes for each position; funny, Ayotte is currently my state Senator.

Hey look

There were nation RPs, I don't believe there was a separate Nation Sub-Forum

Okay. Where exactly in, Washington I believe it was, are the characters primarily located? I've been slacking on a post these past two days (mainly for a lack of general knowledge since I have gotten far behind), so I'm trying to rectify that with a post today.

The characters are currently split into two areas. One is on some kind of road somewhere in Washington.. I have no idea where exactly. The other cluster is in Cougar Rock Campground. Currently I think about 6 characters are there (split 3 and 3 within the campground and haven't met eachother). Cougar Rock is a bit hidden it seems, however both locations are plausable starting points.

The day Foster doesn't have a hyperlink in one of his posts seems less likely than the day we'll actually have the dead walking around

That is a good name too! It does have very specific connotations for me however...

Halo Reference <3

And you could simply have more 'official' names for them.. Like Babylon All Terrain Assault Vehicle (BATAV), maybe Bat as a nickname? May be a bit less fun naming-wise, but could sound kinda impressive :P

Don't see why not - though I'd PM AnnaBeth to make sure we haven't reached the pop limit. Then again, you are a returning player so she may make an exception

Jack smirked at the thought of him potentially being ex-military. The past year his appearance had undergone quite a change - his hair had grown a bit longer, unkempt; his once clean-cut face now sported the stubble of a man usually too busy to cut it. His more formal black blazer and the other remnants of his old life were inside with his things. He found that a simple black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans suited him fine. It almost seemed impossible that likely, two years ago exactly, he would have been in his office in Washington picking at a lukewarm Chipotle burrito, poring over some bill he was sponsoring. Now, as he flipped the venison over, revealing the browned underside, he wondered over how lucky he must have been to have survived all this time, while others, soldiers, survivalists, didn't.

"No, no, not military," he replied, still by the fire. "I've just had a year-long trial by fire when it comes to surviving. Before all this, well.. I used to serve as state Representative for Washington's 5th Congressional district. I spent a lot of my time in D.C., then a few up here; but by some stroke of fate, I was in Southern California visiting friends when all this.. happened. I lived with them for months, and as a group we survived together a few miles out of L.A.. But.. I came up north on my own to see if my parents in Spokane made it through all this." He let a pause hang in the air, unsure whether or not to go on. He finally decided not to.
"And then I headed out here," he went inside briefly to find three old, plain red plates in the cupboard, and dusted them off (they looked clean, just unused. He also checked for silverware but unusually, there was none at all), before returning outside to take the now medium-cooked steaks off the cooking stone, and placing two beside Chris and Claire. He sat down with his own opposite the two, removing his knife to cut the meat and use it as both a knife and a makeshift fork.
"Have you two been alone this entire time? Or did you used to be in some kind of group around here?"
