The Walking Dead Hits Four Years!

---

---

Today The Walking Dead hits that rare and mythological mark of Four Years. Holy fucking cow. Seriously, I am floored. And while I gush about this Rp probably more than others, as it has been going on longer than any other Rp I currently have going, I don't brag on it near as much. This was the one that started it all. The long Character sheets, the lengthy rules, the putting up with nothing from anyone to keep the story going, the kick people out, push Rpers to do better. This was the Rp that really kicked the Evil Gm Overlord into Overdrive and well - it is the reason I feel that most every Rp I have started since this one kicked off as either come to completion or is still trucking itself. It has been the Rp which all my other Rps are held up against, the one that stands the test of time and the one that got the most flack when I started it. Well it is still here and is starting a whole new arc. But for now, we will take a small moment and just celebrate.

And while a big part of an Rp is the GM, the Rpers are what keeps it trucking. There have been tons of people in the RP over the years, and damn we are well over the 50 character mark that have been in this RP. Shit, over 50 have died. Didn't stop us. There area lot of Rpers out there to thank for being part of the Rp but I will stick to our active peeps, but please know anyone that has been apart of the RP I thank you.

@Sigil - Dude, you have been here since day 1 and before. I just hope the Ash curse is finally broke! Oh and about Beatrice leaving? Just means more O's for Thalia.
@Nallore - Will Riley's hair grow back? I hope so! Though she is rocking it and she has come so far since she first came in! And, I'll be nice and not mention what we have learned not to do along the way. :P
@Morose - Know you will be going on break soon but damn, it has been a hell of a time and I cannot wait for you to jump back in once things get calmer. Atticus is still waiting on a particular woman to get her ass out of deep space lol.
@Rivaan - Now, don't worry. Haven't forgotten you. So just clam down, or calm up. Either way, let's see what we can do about keeping Amelia away from Doggie.
@ONL - Alright Mugsy, looks like one of the girls is running out. Don't worry, just hold tight. Lots of old folks around. Who knows maybe this will be the start of an Zombie Retirement Spin Off. Let me grab Betty White lol
@Remipa Awesome - Keep doggie away from Amelia! And hey, when was the last time Manny flossed? Seriously, he needs to start going around preaching about oral hygiene. Hey, do Walkers teeth rot?

Anyways, on all the celebrating let us take a moment to remember the fallen. ~shuts up for all of three seconds~ And now to the survivors! May they keep surviving!!!

And now, we start the road to year 5! May the odds be ever in our favor.

*You can call for a roll before you post or you can leave a roll request at the end of your post and your results will be placed in the next update. You are allowed to get a roll during your post and place another at the end of your post.

Special Note: That Haze will remain until further notice, so make sure you keep to it. ^_~

Grimm, Indiana (Tinder House): Poor Robert, he really wants to get away from Zoie. Well the remains of Zoie and can one hardly blame him. Not every day you see someone drawn and quartered, or would that be quintupleted? Seeing as the head was ripped away as well? Anyways, he is having trouble, stumbling over his feet to get away. He is managing to get around the corner of the building as the creature takes notice of him.

Adelaide looked at Mali shocked. The woman didn't seem the type to freak out but hey if her hands were glowing she would probably freak the fuck out as well. She knew she freaking out as Robert came back around the corner and there was some large shadowy beast coming into view. She screamed. Now, the whole dice rolling thing? That was probably the best idea in a while. Or maybe it was the worst. No one knows for sure right now but as Mali chucks the thing she gives it as hell of a throw and the thing spins in the air. The beast coming around the corner stop as it seems to catch a glimpse of it. The dice is spinning in the air and glowing more, it seems to be targeting the beast and the Destruere turns and starts to run away. It doesn't seem to want to get hit by the item but it doesn't look like it is going to out run it.

Grimm, Indiana (Asylum Outside): Now, there was a lot going on right then. Mostly concerned with the fact there was a large shadow like beast ripping out the side wall of an Asylum and trying to get to them. So, that was where her focus was. She had tried to tell the Indian looking woman that now wasn't the time to talk. It was a time for action. Sure, people had questions but if your curiosity for such things over road your common sense you ended up dead. Though Alicia could remember a time when she used to demand answers. That was before she met Evelina. It ticked her off to no end that Evelina wouldn't answer most questions. Now she understood why. There was a time and place for everything. Questions could wait until after shit was done hitting the fan. Right then, wanting to know how someone could do something or what something was could wait until what Alicia called a Destruere wasn't ripping down a building. Be like trying to ask a serial killer why they were strangling you. You didn't ask why, you tried to stop it and then maybe, once he was cuffed you got to the why.

Caesar and Keystone would be hitting the mark on the Destruere and while it was seeming to cause some damage - parts where the Destruere was hit were lighter, it didn't seem to be stopping the thing. It screamed out and seemed to get madder, if shadows could look angry, they did.

"Dead voices! Don't listen!" she yelled. She knew those voices. So yeah, Alicia wasn't even bothering to stop and consider there might be others inside. Her eyes were on the Destruere while she took the bomb from Cecily. "Duck and cover fuckers!" Alicia yelled as she planted her feet firmly on the ground. Oh yeah, that was what people should have been worried about. Finding cover when a walking dead chic was about to chuck a bomb at a building. Grabbing Cecily, Roy took Alicia's advice and ducked her down behind one of the vehicles.

"Yeah, you might want to hide Riley," a voice crawled into the scene as a man stepped out of the shadows in the tree line and started walking towards Riley. "I would hate to see a class mate killed, wouldn't you?" he asked as he tilted his head to the side and eyed her. Those on the scene didn't know this man personally, but Riley did. Riley knew him, she went to school with him. She pulled the trigger that killed him. Chris Malony. (Due to the high stress of the situation, those in law enforcement and security would have to make a roll in chat and score a 15+ to remember he was the serial killer from the year before.)

Alicia still wasn't paying attention. She had one job and one job alone to do. And the thing was, she didn't even bother lighting it. "No need, it's hellfire. It will light it," she said as she took a deep breath. Getting a good grip on it, Alicia took a deep breath and chucked it. (I think LLA likes bombs because not only did Cecily get a Nat 20 on making a bomb, Alicia scored a Nat 20 on throwing it.) The thing soared through the air, like a fast soft ball pitch and barreled into the chest area of the Destruere. The bombs force just hitting the creature sent it back into the building. Turning she sprinted and ducked behind a car. There was a deafening scream before a blast could be heard, like through a vacuum. What happened next? You'll see next update.

Boat (Sun Deck): Vera couldn't believe what she was seeing, was it truly there or was she hallucinating? Could it be a dream? Was she still out cold somewhere? Maybe she had hit her head? It wouldn't be the first time. Standing there she started to answer what Mosi was asking and her lips were moving but to the others it would seem as nothing was coming from her lips. They were moving but there was no sound. Mosi would be able to notice that Vera seemed to be fading. To Vera and the others she looked normal but to Mosi it seemed as if the tips of her fingers and the curls of her hair were started to fade away, like a vignette around a photograph to blur out the edges.

Vera's head seemed to turn slightly and her eyes widened as a sound came through, a voice, from somewhere in the distance. "Vera?!?" the voice called out. It was one that several of them there would know. Josephine had been introduced to the man who had that voice not long ago. And the Corporal knew it as one his own Lord Major was related to. The thing was, this voice was supposed to be dead. Burned, brought back from a fire. "I won't hurt you, I promise!" Another voice? Another familiar voice. Vera's head turned and she called out but no sound came from her lips as she mouthed Peter and then George. She didn't seem to notice there was no sound coming from her lips. Could they just not hear her or was she truly speechless?

Athribis (Underground): Mahendra and Richard are doing well. Mahendra will be able to stay on his feet and assist Nora as she needs it currently. Richard has his guard up and is ready to strike if something jumps out at them but the thing is. Nothing is. Save for some voices coming out of no where. This time others would hear as well. "Vera?!?" "I won't hurt you, I promise!"

Nora is still leading the group but comes to a point where she isn't sure which direction they should go. It will take a bit more trying to figure out the path right then. It is kind of hard to see but then the oil lights along the walls and all it lit. Just what in the hell is going on? Well one thing is for sure, as Gene tries to spit, she fumbles it. (2) And ends up drooling down her own chin instead. Oh that just isn't pleasant to look at. And Reginald observes it roll down to her chin and drop to the ground. Just eww lol. He will also of course know the voice of Peter. Maybe he is hearing things? No, that was his nephews voice. He is sure of it. As sure as he is as he looks up and swears that the ceiling is fading away. (It only appears that way to him right then.)

During all this Faye has a bit of an epiphany. The voices, the walls looking newer, the lights coming to life. Is this what they mean in the occult world of a time spell? A way to retrieve from the past what was lost? No, it is too much. It is as if a coven had cast different spells at the same time and they were merging.

New York, New York, USA: November 5th, 1943

---

---

Siduri walked over towards Parliament and held out her hand to him, leaning down to lace her fingers with his. His body seemed unable to move from where it was. Though the man was unable to move his body, it didn't keep him from moving things. A chair pulled out from under the table and turned slightly. "I have both good and bad of you Miss Masters, but that is all of us isn't it?" he asked as the chair slid out for Faith. "Please have a seat," he offered. At least he had manners.

"Well as fun as this is, I got shit to do," Dread said before his body dissolved into a darkness and was gone, leaving behind only the faintest hint of sulfur in the air. The door shut as Siduri looked towards Parliament. One couldn't hear anything but from the changing expression on the womans face, they seemed to be having a conversation.

"I feared it was happening. So she's the one?" Parliament asked finally out loud and Siduri nodded. "I see." Siduri let go of the mans hand and stepped back. "I am sure you have many questions but I am afraid there is little time. You are here to find Evelina." It seemed perhaps the two had been talking, since Parliament seemed to know why Faith was there. "I am told you have the ability to shift from sight. A common enough Edge in this world but feeling you in the room, I sense it is different." The organs seemed to take a breath before he continued. "She's lost, you may be able to get to her but I cannot guarantee you could return. Are you willing to take that chance child?" he asked. Siduri just stood there, she was sure that Faith would say yes but she wouldn't speak for the woman.

Babylon Fortress, Cairo, Egypt: October 6th, 1924

Mounts James? Well Andromeda has no problem mounting Mount James. And she is keeping her shit together. Which is a good thing, because well, riding a hog, one that isn't on wheels isn't exactly a common thing. It has to be one hell of a sight and in fact Peter thinks it is as his head tilts to the side and he watches the whole thing unfold. "Not something one sees everyday," he mused as he stood there. Though he had to smile, he could see his uncle doing something like this. Riding head long into battle screaming Tally Ho! with a Corporal running behind him screaming Lord Major! Now, that would be quite the sight to see, indeed it would. Rising up, Peter levitated and kept moving with the group now that there was plenty of light on the situation. Chuckling a bit at Sophia's comment.

James, while mounted, okay, this going to be a running joke. James is able to keep his wits about him and not go hog wild right now. Enough infact he will be the first to smell that something is off. Something smells, like a bad fart, no, wait, sulfur. Something is burning low to the ground like sulfur and it is growing stronger in the direction that they are moving. And when they arrive it is beyond strong.

Standing there, below the entrance, there are faint voices. "I am not some common addict." The first voice is very familiar. It's Nancy. O.o Then another voice is heard. "Belladonna?" calls out someone, unknown to the group. "Zerzura?"

The third voice grabs Peters attention. "Vera?!?" he calls out as he looks around and then looks up as the ceiling seems to start fading away and the sky is starting to show through the haze. It was followed by other voices.

"Stone!"

"Yeah, on it, Boss."

"I don't know!"

"Mother fucking! SHRODY!"

Peters head whipped to the other direction as his feet planted on the ground. "Alicia!"

Location: Camp Mexico Beach: H6 (Quarantine: W)

Temperature: 87F
Humidity: High (Around 83%) - No Rain
Wind Speed: 15 MPH
Cloud Coverage: Overcast

When Jack asked if they needed one for Jamie, Gunny spoke up. "No, he's a baby. He can make the choice if he wishes to stay or go when he turns 18, like all juvenile's here. Until that point, you as his parents are his guardians and make that choice for him. If something should happen to you, then your will can dictate who makes choices for him until he is of age. If there is no one, he falls under the protection of the community at large like other orphans we have," he said motioning towards Nikki. She had been such an orphan and was underage when she was brought in. "You can request a will to be filled out in Administration should you stay," he added as he walked over to the table and Thana held out two of the papers that had been returned. He looked them over and nodded.

"Very well. Victor Bonheur, you have been deemed unfit for the community and a danger to those within it and will not be allowed to stay," Gunny informed him as Roy walked over and motioned for him to get up. Victor did, he didn't look happy but the look on his face was also one that stated he saw this coming. There was no goodbye, they removed him quickly. Like ripping off a bandage. If people were allowed to linger they could cause more problems and this time was tense enough. As soon as Victor was out of the room, Gunny turned to another.

"Beatrice Decker, you have chosen to go. I will inform you that you were chosen by CMB and several recommendations were made for you to go through officer training and become a future leader in the community. Your choice is your own though and Dusty will meet you outside with your escort to take you out of the community," Gunny said. She would have five minutes to say goodbye to those she chose. Any approaching her would be stopped. If she didn't specifically go to them, people would be kept at a distance. It was her choice to leave and therefor her choice who she did and did not want to say goodbye to. Once she was done with her quick farewell, she was lead out of the room by Gunny.

The rest of the guards remained where they were unless they needed to stop someone from going towards either Victor or Beatrice. No one would be allowed near Victor, he was thought of as a threat, a hostile. Bass leaned his head back against the wall as Nikki looked around, waiting to see what would happen, if anything. Major and Panama looked to be on high alert. Outside Dusty would load up both Victor and Beatrice into the helicopter. Beatrice would be given a few moments at the cemetery to pay her respects before they fully left. Victor would be taken over 200 miles north, far away and be dropped off alone with only what he came in with. Beatrice would be taken up to another 100 miles away in any direction she wished and dropped off. Dusty would slip her a bag of supplies to get her started on this new part of her life.

Thana Martin

---

---

Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room)
Skills: N/A

---

Thana stood there and watched Victor be quickly escorted off. She glanced towards Ash, she knew this was coming. Ash probably figured it out after what she had shown him of Victors interview and people's observations. That combined with the information they had gotten from Newnan, what Thana knew personally, there was no choice in the CMB. Thana had supported evicting Victor. Whoever he was back in Newnan, he was no longer that man and while the darkness seemed to take its toll on a lot of people, it seemed that Victor was just going to remain there. There was no way Thana could support him staying. Removing him without goodbyes was hard she was sure for some but she understood why. Last thing any of them needed right then was more drama. If Beatrice chose to tell her goodbye, she would return the farewell and probably pull her in for a hug and whisper she hopes she changes her mind one day and comes back but that she understood and that she would keep an eye out on the others as best she could.

Once all that was done, Thana picked up a clip board and stepped out from behind the table, looking at those that remained. "The rest of y'all have chosen to stay and have been cleared by CMB to remain. Now you'll have a review in 30 days and you can choose to go if you wish at that point. As long as nothing goes wrong, you won't be removed," she said as she leaned back against the table. Pulling off some papers from the clipboard she looked them over. "What I am about to give you is some general reviews of you all from what we at CMB have observed since you arrived," she added as she started walking around the room and handing out small slips of paper. Each person would get theirs and only theirs.

• Ash Holloway: Displays signs of PTSD and has a known history of hearing voices. Does not need to be place in a position of command until certain emotional issues are dealt with. Therapy recommended though not required. Seems to up front and honest about non emotional details, emotionally repressed though over all. Would do well in Mechanics.
• Riley Ridgeway: Seems to be a well rounded person but has a few basic boundary issues. Would do well in Chaplain.
• Amelia Payne: Open. Outside of the box thinker. Some issues to work through but nothing large. Has a fear of dogs, self admitted. Will need to be housed away from larger animals and made aware of locations of other pets in the camp as to avoid. Do not place in areas of work where Miss Payne would typically cross paths with canine. Would do well in Education.
• Jack Newnan: Easy read. Dependent on wife and child. Needs direction. Would do well in Operations.
• Tatiana Newnan: Extreme Trauma survivor. Highly manipulative. Good reader. Therapy required. Suggested work load with Major Romanova. Potential future Officer.
• Alexander Polawski: Vietnam Vet, loss of limb (leg). Simple man with some PTSD issues, therapy recommended but not required. Would do well in Administration. (Communications)
• Thalia Carmichael: Loss of limb (arm). Adjusting well. Needs retraining. Blunt and while reserved is open to communicate freely when asked. Would do well in Safety once acclimated.
• Emanuel "Manny" Newman: Well rounded individual. Would do well in Education and Medical.
• Erica Monroe: Former cop. Even tempered and doesn't react to conflict. Could do well in Safety.
• Nigel "Hadrian" Cooper: A bit stiff but nothing cannot be overcome. Would do well in Education.
• Wayne Maldonado: Hallucinates and needs medication. Required therapy. Adaptable. Recommended for Safety once psych evaluations and stabilization are achieved.
• Hank Wright: Good reader. Former cop. Potential in psychiatry. Recommended for Operations.
• Hunter Monroe: Some military training. Severely co-dependent and suffers from immaturity. Outbursts. Therapy required. Recommended for Supply or perhaps Animal Services.

As Thana finished handing them out she looked back at the group, stopping by the door that lead out of Conference. "I'm sure some of that was surprising to read. Maybe not all of it. We do know some of you lied. Don't worry. We all lie to cover our asses when we are in new surroundings. Or at least hide things until we feel more comfortable. I hope you won't feel the need to anymore. Not expecting you to open up but at least be truthful. At least enough to tell someone you aren't ready yet," she said as she tucked the clipboard under her arm.

"Now, if you're ready, how about we get y'all the hell out of Quarantine and let ya see the town? Get ya settled into where you'll be livin', get yer personal belongin's back, and a full tour of the place. Don't know if you'll want to but tonights one of the Camps Summer Beach Parties down on the shore. Live music, drinks, sand, beach, BBQ and Shellfish boil. Be a good way fer you to get to meet people and just relax," Thana said before she looked at Major. The major nodded and lowered her weapon, slipping it onto her shoulder. Panama followed suit and the rest of the guards seemed to go at ease.

Tatiana Newnan

---

---

Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room)
Skills: Psychology

Tatiana sat up in her seat a bit when she heard about Jamie not needing a paper. It made sense. She didn't like the idea of having to fill out a will but that made sense as well. This place was planning for the long term. She couldn't blame them, they had survived this long and were strong as hell because of it. Maybe they would last until Jamie was 18. She could hope. Then Victor got called out and she looked down. Rubbing her hands together. "Not surprised," she whispered under her breath to Jack before looking over to him. She had been reading Victor since he got back and there was reason she didn't talk to him. Why she kept Jamie at a distance from him. Why she trusted a man who saw things over the man who had delivered her son. He wasn't the same man she had known in Newnan anymore. Granted she wasn't the same woman either but she couldn't get comfortable around him. Something was off, really off, and she hated to admit it but when he got lead out she felt a sense of relief.

Then Thana came over to her and handed her a paper. Looking at it she read it over. They wanted her to work with the Major? Thought she would be a good officer? That surprised the hell out of her. Thana never looked at herself as a leader but that could work in her favor to make sure Jamie stayed safe. Working with the Major? That went two ways. Tatiana hadn't told anyone what happened during her interview but it had gotten rough. Tatiana was surprised she hadn't had a bullet put in her skull, especially after she stole the Majors weapon. That was an intense interview after that but by the end of it she had opened up about a lot. The major might actually know more about Tatiana than anyone in the room now. She knew the woman knew more about Tatiana's dark times than anyone else did. Folding the paper over she slipped it in her pocket and stood up as Thana had the doors open. Time to get moving.

Wayne Maldonado

---

---

Location: Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room)
Skills: N/A

---

The whole thing about those leaving didn't really interest Wayne. He didn't know Victor and he didn't know Beatrice. Victor did come off as odd but when only those two were lead out Wayne let out a short breath. He hadn't thought he would stay, granted he hadn't thought he would leave either. It was a total toss up in this place. The fact only two were removed and only one wasn't chosen to stay did surprise him as he glanced over at Hunter and Tatiana. He half expected one or both of them to get the boot. Considering they didn't and Victor did made Wayne wonder just how damn bad had Victors interview gone for them to figure the man was a threat to the community and the fucker who spoke to a blue flying unicorn wasn't. Well, maybe it was cause he was good with the kid but seriously, anyone that would hurt a kid didn't deserve to be around here, hell they deserved to be left alone in a room with Wayne for Wayne to do what he wanted to with. Okay, that was dark. These people were weird but he liked it.

When Thana handed him the paper he looked at it and let out a loud "HA!" They wanted him for Safety? Okay, it was once he was stable and that might never happen but him in a position of safety? That cracked him up. Once again, these people were weird but he liked it. What he liked even more was the fact they were getting the hell out of Quarantine, that was made very obvious when Thana said that they were. Standing up he stretched. "Oh fuck yeah," he said grinning at Hank. The idea of a beach party sounded fucking awesome to him. Food, booze, music, the beach. This was what he and Hank had been after. Fucking retirement! Then he stopped and looked over at Thana. "Hey girl you singing? We saw you on tape with some tall piece of Cowboy," he said, not knowing that might be a sore subject. And even if he did, zero fucks given.
