Among the Ruined - Season 4

Katie - Motel - NO!

Katie stayed quiet like they told her to, not wanting to get kicked again. She even managed to not scream when they kicked her daddy and hurt him. She cried but she didn't scream.
But when they started to take him away, when they said they were leaving the others behind and taking her daddy away, that she should forget about him and leave, she couldn't take it anymore. Something inside of her snapped and the seven year old let loose with all of the rage in her small body.

"NO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. "Daddy!"
Pulling out the small knife that Scarlett had given her, since the men hadn't bothered to search a small child, Katie lunged at the men. No one was taking her daddy away.
No one.

"I'll kill you!" she screamed, jumping on one man's back and driving the small knife into the side of his face, right at his cheek. "You're not taking my daddy away!"
"Get this crazy little bitch off of me!" the injured man yelled as she stabbed his face again. Moving backwards, he slammed her against the wall but she didn't let go. She was too crazed with anger and fear to feel the pain at that moment.
Everyone was shouting then, : the bad guys, Scarlett, Liam and George. One of the men even shot at Katie, but missed and hit the injured man in the shoulder, which caused him to fall forward and the momentum caused Katie to flip over and land on her back. Before she could roll away another man slammed his foot down onto her small chest, cracking one of her ribs. Katie screamed again, this time in pain.
"I'll cut you up and feed you to the Walkers you little shit!" he snarled, pointing a gun at her head.
"I don't care!" she screamd back. "Don't take my daddy away!"

Her eyes were not the eyes of a frightened child. They were filled with tears but enraged, like she was possesed. The little girl would fight to the death for her father. That was the depth of her love for him. If they took her daddy away from her, if they were seperated again, it would be like killing her.
She plunged the small knife into his ankle, the blade breaking off in the flesh as it hit the bone. In reflex the man pulled the trigger...

For a second Katie thought she was dead, but the pain didn't go away so she guessed she was still alive. The shot had missed, the bullet grazing her head. Blood spilled from it although it wasn't that deep. But the shot had dazed the little girl, making everything seem to go in slow motion for a minute or two. The weight of the man was gone from her and she started crawling towards Tyler, cuddling against him. Her eyes were unfocused, the knife handled still clenched in her fist. She was in shock and likely had a concussion at this point along with the broken rib that made her whimper in pain with every breath.

They couldn't take him away...
She couldn't lose him... not again...

Jessalyn - Bedroom - KK

Jess turned her face away from the woman stubbornly. "It wouldn't have happened if they hadn't tried to keep us apart," she countered. "I have been searching for him for months now, since before my baby was born. I was terrified that he was dead..."

Her voice broke a bit as she looked back at the heavy set woman with a glare.
"Floyd is not my 'friend'. He is far more then that. I love that man. Do you hear me? I love him. And now that I know he is here and alive, nothing is going to keep us apart. And if none of you people can understand that then get the fuck away from me. I have nothing to say to any of you until you take me to Floyd."

With that she turned completely away from the woman. No matter who came in now, Tremblay, Becca, any of them, Jess was not going to speak to anyone until her demands were met.

Among the Ruined - Season 4

Jessalyn - Room - Tremblay

12 hours earlier

"Floyd!" she screamed as she was held back roughly. "Let me go! NO! Floyd!"
Jess cried and screamed, Ben joining her as she watched helplessly as the man she had been searching for fo so long was once again ripped away from her. "Please! Please let me go!" she begged the man holding her back but he wouldn't budge. She looked towards Becca pleadingly but apparently she wasn't going to help, or wasn't able to.

Jess was forceably taken to a room and locked inside while she cried and screamed to be let out with Ben screaming his lungs out as well at his mother's distress. Jessalyn finally collapsed in the chair and sobbed, begging whoever might be listening to let her out, but either no one was around or no one cared. She screamed for Tremblay, for Becca, for anyone who might help her. She had to get to him. She HAD to!

Finally she had grown so hoarse she couldn't scream anymore. Ben wore himself out and fell asleep as Jess sobbed. There was a bed in the room and Jess curled up on it with Ben laying on a pillow beside her. She prayed and cried herself to sleep.

~

-Present-

Jess woke to Ben whimpering, knowing instinctively by the sound of it that he was hungry. She fed and burped him, then just waited. They couldn't keep her in here forever. Tremblay would have to come eventually. Or someone would open the door and she would get by them somehow. She didn't care if she had to throw the chair at them. No one was keeping her from Floyd this time. Not when she knew he was alive and somewhere close.

It seemed to take a while but the door finally opened. Food was pushed into the room and the door shut again before she could move. Jess didn't even look at the food. She refused to eat until they let her out. She glared at the door, waiting for Tremblay to walk in. She had an earful for him. She was going to scream at him til he went deaf in one ear. How DARE he do this?! He had to have heard her the day before and he had ignored her?! Kept her away from the man she had TOLD him she had been searching for?!
Tremblay better pray there were no sharp objects within her reach when he finally showed his face...

Among the Ruined - Season 4

Katie - Motel - Scarlett, Tyler, Liam, Bad Guys

Katie had been smiling but got scared when Scarlett got serious. There were bad men? No... not here... this was their home, this was supposed to be safe. She took the knife in shaky hands, terrified of what could happen but trusting that Scarlett would not let anyone hurt her. Daddy would come. He would save them. He would make the bad men go away.

When the men came busting into the room Katie screamed. "Daddy!"
But it was no use. They tried to grab Katie and she screamed again, darting under the man's legs to get away and back to Scarlett. When one of them tried to grab Scarlett Katie nearly used her knife on him to protect her. No one hurt her Scarlett! But there was no need, Scarlett made him let go. They made them march down the stairs. Scarlett picked up Katie and the little girl held on tightly. What did these men want? Why were they doing this?

When the got downstairs Katie was horrified to see her daddy on the floor and not moving. "Daddy!" she screamed again and ran to him, shaking him a little. "Daddy wake up! Please wake up!" she glared at the men angrily. "Why did you hurt my daddy?! You're bad! I hope the monsters get you and you die!"

"Shut up you little bitch," one of them said and kicked her. Katie hugged Scarlett, crying in fear and worry for her daddy.
"Keep that brat quiet," another man ordered Scarlett.

Katie shook with terror. These men were bad and mean. Why? What had they done? Another scary thought occured to the already traumatized child : what if they took her daddy away? What if they took Scarlett away?
Thinking fast and in a line of reasoning only a child could, Katie hugged Scarlett tightly. "Mommy..." she whined loudly, loud enough for all of the men to hear. "Make them stop Mommy. They hurt Daddy."

Among the Ruined - Season 4

Previously on Among the Ruined...

A tense moment passed between the two groups. It was silent, everyone waiting on Abram to make a call. However, before he could say anything, Jace spoke up, asking, "Have I met you before?" He was looking at Samantha, squinting at her features. Tina gave him an annoyed look before giving the girl a closer look herself. She did look a little familiar, in fact--

"Are you Sam?" Caleb asked, confirming Tina's thoughts. The girl looked enough like Scarlett to be related to her, and that Scarlett had been looking for possibly meant that this was the one. "And the girl you're all looking for... is her name Scarlett?" Caleb added, connecting the dots further.

They were resting for the night...Tomorrow they would venture out and do something great. Soon indeed. They were hot on the tail. Soon they would find them and take Emma back. Well...Rescue.

Danny entering in cause Rob to put his feet on the ground. Danny rushing in never meant a good thing. Especially since as soon as he started to speak a explosion rang in his ears. And the building jumped like a frightened cat. Causing Rob to wack his head off the wall. Though the wall did make sure that he certainly kept his balance for the next explosion.

"Shit, Come on everyone!"

---

A deep bang and rumble shook the building, causing Danny to almost fall to his feet. A second occurred soon after, sending Shannon beside him falling to her knees. Before Danny could even understand what was happening, he realized he smelled smoke. "Fuck! Everyone out! We have to evacuate the building!"

---

Scarlett asked him to lower his head, so he did so obediently. He felt a flush rise up from his, heating his face and turning it red. Maybe Scarlett would think it was red from the hot water, or maybe she really would think he was drunk. Was he drunk? "Scarlett," he said, reaching up and gently taking one of her hands. "Just leave it, okay?"

Silence. Tyler's head was still lowered, even with Scarlett's. He wasn't sure if this was a right or wrong thing to do, but Tyler figured he hadn't cared about that for a long time now. Gently, ever so slowly, he leaned in to kiss her.

---

Her breath caught.
No....
It couldn't... be...
But it was. It was him.

Tears flooded her eyes. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. "Fl..." she stammered breathlessly, almost afraid to move in case this was a dream. After all this time... all the weeks and months of searching...
"Floyd..." she whispered.
Suddenly her heart burst in her chest. Pure joy erupted from inside of her, bubbling over in the tears that flooded down her cheeks. Ben let out a squeal just as she screamed.

"FLOYD!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katie - Motel - Scarlett

Katie bounced happily towards Scarlett's room. She had practiced shooting the day before, and hated it. But it had made her daddy happy so she had done it for him. But that didn't mean she wouldn't try to avoid it in the future.

But right now she was going to have 'girl time' with Scarlett. It would be fun to be all girly for the first time in... a long time. She giggled excitedly at the thought of having her hair done. And with the new clothes that Scarlett had found things were looking very good now.
Was this place going to be their new home? She hoped so. She didn't want to move around anymore. Here they had rooms and bathrooms and no mean people or monsters, for now, but even if some appeared her daddy and Scarlett would make them go away.

She had her daddy, she had Scarlett, she had her kitten and a Liam and a George.
Life was good.

Skipping up to the door, Katie knocked. "Scarlett?" she called in a little girl sing-song voice, waiting with a big smile for when she opened the door.

Heather - Hell - Hank, Jennifer

They had been rejected. Half of their group had been taken from them, but they were the rejects. Her... Hank... Jennifer... they were being sent back to hell...

The monsters beat Hank until he stopped yelling. There was nothing she or Jennifer could do. The ride back was silent. Even though her blindfold was on, Heather could tell where Jennifer was by the sniffling, still heartbroken over her loss.
Shifting slowly, Heather tried to move towards Jennifer but ended up falling over when the truck hit a bump. Inching on her stomach, she managed to make her way towards her friend, laying her head on her legs to let her know she was there. Then Heather swung her own legs around til they were touching someone that had to be Hank. The physical contact wasn't much, but it showed what she couldn't say : that they were all still together, still connected.

Exhausted by her efforts, Heather could only lay there. Who knew what would happen to them now?
Well no... she knew what would happen to her and Jennifer...
And Hank... Hank would likely be put to work or beaten for these monster's sick pleasure. Mostly like both.

It was enough to make you wonder what the point was in living anymore. Surely life would be better as a mindless zombie then this. And Heather was already halfway there now.

Among the Ruined - Season 4

I like him, the background of being a chef and being in New Orleans and his history of mental issues makes him unique. And I love me some crawfish :)
Approved. You can post him in the character thread

I will be posting the first post sometime tomorrow.

Among the Ruined - Season 4

Name : Jessalyn "Jess"

Age : 21

Skill : cook and supply organizer

Weapon (up three): lead pipe with a jagged end

Personality : sweet, naïve, helpful, hesitates to strike, trusting, 'blonde' at times, has trouble coping

Bio : Jessalyn was living with her Mom and brother at the time of the outbreak. Her brother, who hated her for being born, shoved her out of the car as they were escaping. She never saw them again.
Almost immediately Jess met a man named Bruce who said he would help her get to safety, provided she did something for him. Jessalyn, afraid of what would happen to her on her own, agreed to have sex with him in exchange for protection. But Bruce didn't hold up his promises. Instead of keeping her safe himself, he dumped Jess off on a woman named Lynn.

Lynn, having escaped from life with a dictator named Tyler, was at first not happy to be saddled with a young girl barely into adulthood and she was furious when she discovered the girl was pregnant on top of it. But in time the sweet and kind Jessalyn ingrained herself into Lynn's tough heart and Lynn looked after and protected Jess through most of her pregnancy.

Unfortunately things did not last. Tyler's group captured Lynn and Jess found herself at the mercy of a stranger named Floyd. They seemed to get along well but Jess was quickly captured by a group from Haywood. She got the shock of her life when she realized that the leader of Haywood was none other then Bruce, the man who had gotten her pregnant then abandoned her. After the Haywood uprising Bruce attacked and nearly killed her before being killed himself.

As part of a plan to infiltrate the underground, Jess agreed to be handed over to Tyler. There she was reunited briefly with Lynn before the underground was attacked by both Haywood and walkers. Floyd, having been brought to the underground as a possible new member, found and rescued Jess and escaped with her.

Finding an abandoned house, Floyd and Jess grew closer and developed a bit of a romance between them. Abram came across them and joined them tentatively, trust between the two men being an issue. After an argument between Jess and Floyd, with Floyd going off to hunt and clear his head. While he was gone the house was attacked by walkers, forcing Jess and Abram to flee. They came upon Haywood where they decided to stay and see if Floyd would find them.

During the attack by Outpost Jess went into labor and had her baby, a beautiful healthy boy she named Benjamin Daniel.
In the wake of the attack, Jess and Abram left Haywood to search for Floyd and for a safer place for Jess to raise her baby. They came across Turisa, Leah and Samantha on the road and the small group headed for Baton Rouge, managing to find a house not only safe and big enough for them but that had a room of baby supplies for Jess and Ben.

Soon after finding the house Jess and Ben were kidnapped by Kerry, one of Magnus' men, but when they arrived at The Plaza Tremblay, the leader of another group, took them in to keep them safe from Magnus. Within hours of arriving Jess has now caught sight of someone she thought she'd never see again...

Floyd...

Among the Ruined - Season 4

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined
Season 4

CURRENTLY CLOSED
When hell gets full, the Devil lets the dead walk the earth...

So this is a walking dead style rp. There will be action and gore and zombie killing, but mostly this will be about the twists and turns, the drama, the heartache and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.
Everything you do and say will have consequences further down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He came back as a walker and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. Each choice is life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will go to hell.
Of course... it's already there...

And we are entering our 4th season. I can hardly believe it. I am so proud of this rp and of the people who have joined it, becoming not just rp friends but a close knit family. Those who have stuck with me to this point : I love all of you so much. You are the best rp group I have ever had.
Those who are joining now : thank you for wanting to become a part of this. We warmly welcome all newcomers WHO PLAN ON STAYING WITH US. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
The next post will contain a summary of everything that has happened so far in the past 3 seasons along with character lists including NPCs.

Rules :
1. No fighting in the OOC or Chat. I mean it. You get one warning, then your characters gets killed off and you are banned from the rp.
2. No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weapons, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your characters skills and their weapons.
3. An extension of the above rule-- We won't be accepting more characters with military backgrounds. Characters with medical backgrounds will likely be asked to change as well. To avoid any conflicts it's best that you plan on your character having just being a regular person before the apocalypse hit. Stray from creating characters that have a particularly firearms-related background (Like someone who grew up hunting and is a skilled marksman).
4. Gore is fine, but romance (if there is any during a zombie apocalypse) goes to PM. Anything above kissing goes to PM.
5. Killing of characters must be agreed upon, even NPCs. NPCs without a * next to their name are free to be moved around/controlled, required that their written personality/history is adhered to.
6. All ideas are welcome! If you have any ideas for major plot-related ideas, characters. locations, etc. then please PM either myself or my Co-GM(s).
7. Before making any game changing decisions please pm me to ask or discuss it in the OOC or chatzy before posting it. This does not mean I need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by either me or my Co-GM(s).
8. You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM us for a significant amount of time, then your character will be made an NPC and likely become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.
9. In that same vein, if you've been in the rp for some time and decide you want to go, the option for your character to become an NPC is there in case you ever return. Though NPCs are more likely to be killed off, the character just may be alive when you come back.
10. People will die. It's a zombie survival rp. We ask that you strongly consider ideas for your character's death eventually, even if you don't really wish for them to die. While we will never kill off your character without your consent, no one is likely to survive forever in zombie fiction. Just keep the idea in mind when making your sheet.
11. It might seem strange to have this rule but I have run into problems with this in the past so I am going to say it right off : NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not "The Last of Us" this is a "The Walking Dead" rp. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be working on a cure, but that is all.
12 Please follow the posting rule (see below) If you do not, your post will be ignored.
13. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.

CS:

Appearance : (please no anime pics. portraits are fine as long as they are realistic)
Name :
Age :
Skill : (are you good at medicine? cooking? electronics? hunting? marksman? these can be skills acquired after the outbreak)
Preferred Weapons (up to three) : (anything you can realistically have)
Personality : (good and bad points)
Brief Bio : (we are not going to know much about each other at first so only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak, is fine)

posting rule

Something I have started doing in my rps and I have found to be extremely helpful in keeping track of everyone and everywhere is a formula to posting : at the top of the post put, in bold, the name of the character you are currently playing, their location and who you are interacting with. For example:
Kim - Bus Stop - Steven
If you are playing multiple characters in one post, just add their names in:
Kim and Stacy - Restaurant - Each Other
If there are multiple people in the same place and you don't know who you are interacting with at the moment, broaden the terms:
Kim - Office - Everyone
This way no matter who replies everyone who is currently in the office knows you might be interacting with them or can start an interaction.

So I know you read this, please comment on it in your first post. Tell me what you think of this posting rule.
