The Dead and the Dying

Dallen

Dallen leaned against the train car as he watched the two go to work on the walkers. He was slightly impressed, and when the kid asked for his assistance, he took a step forward and brought his steel pipe down onto the thing's skull. Its' brain smashed into muck as he lifted the pipe back up and rested it over his shoulder.

"Not bad, " he told them, already under the impression that they were siblings, either that or a young couple. At least they already knew to destroy the brain, which was something Dallen had just recently realized. "I'm heading out of the city, you can tag along if you want."

He began to walk down the dark tunnel, which looked relatively clear at this point. The sounds of gunfire and screams could continuously be heard from up above. Suddenly, a large crashing sound occurred, shaking the entire tunnel and bringing bits of the ceiling down with it.

"Its begun," he said, as another crashing hit near by. The bombs were dropping. "Keep moving, they're bombing the city. These tunnels go deeper and deeper, we should be alright."

Raven and Johnny

Her eyes opened and the first thing she saw was the stars above. It was somewhat peaceful. She turned her head and was met with immediate panic, as she saw some kind of large creature staring back at her. Its face was smashed and its body was split in two. She jumped up to a sitting position, backing away until she realized it was road kill.

"What the hell...?" she yelled, catching Johnny's attention.

Johnny came over and helped her to her feet, as she then noticed the vehicle she was driving was wrecked.

"What happened?" she asked, but she could see it as clear as day. She saw all the people she was traveling with were dead in the wreckage. She cupped her mouth and let a few tears roll down her face. "Oh, no..."

"I'm sorry," Johnny said. "You saved my life, from that...thing."

The explosions from the city could be seen just barely over the treeline. The sound of them boomed moments later. They paused to watch it, as Ethan checked on the others in the wreckage.

The Dead and the Dying

Dallen

"Anyone in there? We're friendly. Are you?"

Dallen finished his last smoke and flicked the butte at the undead spitter, lying in a pool of its own acid. He took a peek outside the train and saw a blinding light aimed at him, which appeared to be a motorcycle by the sound of it.

"Not particularly, but as long as you don't try to eat me...I think I can play nice," he told whoever it was out there.

The lawyer walked outside, holding his steel pipe at ease next to him. His black and white suit now covered in blood. His free hand was being held up to block the light coming from the cycle.

"Wanna do me a favor and turn that shit off?" he asked. "We don't want to attract any more of those things down here."

After a moment he noticed two young people, one with a M14 aimed in his general direction.

"Know how to use that thing, kid?" he asked.

A few walkers suddenly came from around the front of the train, heading directly for them.

The Dead and the Dying

I'll let TK decide the fates of everyone else in that wreck.

The Dead and the Dying

Johnny, Ethan and Raven

The sound the creature made stopped the stoner dead in his tracks. He put a hand on James' shoulder and knelt down, looking at Frank to do the same. Whatever it was, they already knew it could climb and that it was really fast. Maybe it hadn't seen them yet, which is why Frank noticed it first, or maybe it was playing with them. Regardless, Johnny knew they were in deep shit.

"We can't all out run it, whatever it is," Johnny told them with a whisper. "And we can't assume it won't find us here. I'll distract it, lead it away. You two break for the farm, get help if you can. I'll try to lead it to the road, out in the open. Hell, I just hope it dies like the rest of 'em."

Johnny grabbed the whiskey bottle for what he felt would be one last time and swallowed the liquid whole. He wiped his mouth and nodded at Frank. They didn't look like they believed this to be a good plan, but there was no time to think. Besides, he was the fastest one here.

"Not up for discussion," Johnny quickly added as he stood.

He bolted away from them as the night's dawn had begun. Within seconds, he heard the thing leaping through the trees toward him. "Fuuck!"

He kept his gun holstered as he ran as fast as he could, fatigue already set within him. He needed a perfect shot if this was going to work. The large infected creature landed on the ground behind him and started chasing him. A quick glance back and he saw the monster, a feral beast that now moved on all fours.

Johnny jumped over a ditch and then felt asphalt against the soles of his shoes, he had made it to the road. He pulled out his glock and turned to aim, but nothing came. He held his position, sweating frantically but staying still. The bushes he had just come from remained silent.

"Come on mother fucker," he said, nervous as all hell.

It was quicker than he had thought, as the feral jumped from the highest trees over and behind him, landing next to him. As he turned to re-aim, the feral smacked him with its gorilla sized arm and he went flying across the street. His handgun flopped somewhere next to him. Johnny looked up as the creature leapt at him again, but he quickly rolled to the side as a swerving Landrover came around the bend and smashed into the feral directly. The large animal like creature toppled over the vehicle and landed on its back behind it, clearly hurt but not completely dead. It attempted to push itself up again with its arm as another vehicle came around the bend. The suv rammed directly into it, cutting it in two pieces, as that vehicle also lost control and started rolling into some brush.

Johnny mustered his strength and got up, reclaiming the firearm. He first looked at the monster, who was thankfully deader than dead, then looked at the people inside the suv. A young short haired blonde woman was in the driving seat, knocked out but alive. The passenger had flown out the window and snapped his neck in half against a tree. The people in the back were also dead. Johnny pulled the driver out onto the street, then went over to the Landrover.

Ethan kicked the window out and crawled out of the wreckage, wounded badly but alive. He didn't know the fate of Thomas or the others, as they had just seconds before began dealing with a dead girl trying to attack them.

"You okay?" Johnny asked.

"I'm fine, I think," Ethan replied. "Thomas? Thomas, you okay?"

The Dead and the Dying

aww yea. Well, if my character ever finds a bo staff, I'm pretty boss with one of those heh heh.

The Dead and the Dying

me to actually lol. I'm pretty much Johnny, except moreso the musician side of him rather than the drugs...(eh eh, well...i'll leave that one alone)

The Dead and the Dying

Just one little irk I have to tell you about when it comes to zombie rps, I try to avoid katana wielders as its cliche. Just about everyone wants to have that weapon, however, so long as you keep it realistic and don't overpower it, I see no problem. Welcome aboard.

The Dead and the Dying

Actually you can come in anyway you like, alex. just post a character and i'll add you to the list.

The Dead and the Dying

So how long does one usually have to wait to be told if they are allowed in a rp or not. How long did it take with yal?

@alexfangtalon

just post a character up and, since at this point, we're all sort of just getting past the city part, maybe a brief idea of how you want to enter. Then I'll let you in, since I'm off work today it should be rather quick.

By the way, anyone see the walking dead last night? holy crap it was good.
