Conrad just watched as everything seemed to spiral out of control. Sure, the girl probably wasn’t a zombie, but there were still problems here. Brooklyn got beat up. That was one problem. A bigger problem was security; how in the hell did anyone think it was a good idea to disobey protocol like that? Sure, the girl was fine, but what if she wasn’t? Zombies were quick. Add that with one being kept untied at point-blank range? It was just stupid. The way Conrad saw things, they were a lot less safe now, and it was kind of his own fault.

“Let’s do things democratically,” he had said. “More minds will be able to think of better solutions,” he had said. But where had that gotten them? In a spot where they literally could be killed by an irrational shooter who brought zombies into their house.

No more. Conrad hadn’t gotten to where he was today by doing nothing. He wasn’t going to stand idly by and wait for the group to come to its senses or get eaten by a zombie. No, now was the time for action.

Without saying a word, the ex-cop started rummaging through the drawers and taking out any food that was there. Freshly caught fish, salvaged pre-packaged food, potted plants, whatever. Conrad tried being quiet, but with everyone so distracted it wasn’t hard to gather things unnoticed anyway. Once his hands were full, he left the cabin and put everything in the Explorer.

With that finished, Conrad hopped in the driver’s seat and drove away from the cabin for good.
Conrad knew Jorel would get the girl back to “base” safely. Not like he needed a driver’s ed instructor to teach him what to do anyway. This was practically Parking 101 at this point. Driving by the lake, the ex-cop saw the zombies that hadn’t drowned all in about the same area. Flooring the accelerator pedal once more, Conrad drove straight into the zombie mass, killing four of them at once.

“Just like bowling! Ah dammit, missed one,” he said nonchalantly as he noticed a smaller one on his windshield. Conrad grabbed his pistol, lowered the driver’s side window, then shot the walker a few times to finish what he started. Then, as if it were just a bug, he rolled that window back up and turned on his windshield wipers. All better.

By this point, a few zombies that were further away noticed Conrad’s mission and started heading towards his ride. This was as planned; can’t draw away all the zombies if none of them are left. As much as it pained him to do it, Conrad drove away from the walkers (and the cabin) this time, making sure to do so slowly enough that they could follow him but not so slow that he was zombie food.

After a reasonable enough amount of time spent doing this, the former policeman accelerated away from the confused zombie mass and headed back home. It would have been an uneventful drive, except while looking behind him for zombies Conrad heard another loud THUNK in front of him. He was worried he had been followed for a second, but it was just a baby deer. Winner winner, doe for dinner?

Whatever. Conrad wrapped the dead baby deer in a tarp and tied it up with some rope, then put it in the trunk of the Explorer. Following this, he drove back to the cabin and was about to walk in when he overheard someone speak.

"She can go in my room and use my bed. I'll lock the door from the outside and keep watch until she wakes up. If she isn't going to turn, do you really want her waking up bound and gagged? The poor girl will be scared shitless. If that's not good enough for you...then we have a problem..."

Foolish. They had saved the girl’s life and he gets hung up over agreed-on procedure that could save their lives? Crazy.

Carrying the doe-in-a-tarp, Conrad opened the door and walked inside. “Hey guys,” he casually said, “oh good. Leo, since you seem to have some energy, can you cook this?” Conrad then tossed him the aforementioned tarped doe before Sullivan could respond and continued on, “oh, and maybe try to save the fur? Might be good for a blanket or something.”

Conrad took a glance at the girl and added “good job following procedure, everyone. It would really suck if a zombie bit one of us.” This last and what was going to come out of his mouth next, he said while looking at Leo. “I think if she can handle nearly freezing to death and being chased by zombies, she can handle being tied up for a few minutes.”
Just posting to say it's been a fun RP so far, everyone!
Conrad figured Jorel might be more partial to the idea that didn’t involve driving a big car in a forest, but hey, he wasn’t complaining. “Well then, let’s...hold on.” The man suddenly noticed something about the lake; there was a girl in the middle of it! Conrad had to squint to see what was going on, but he could definitely see her scrambling out of the water and getting away from the zombies.

Most of the walkers, anyway. There were still a few left, and that wasn’t good. Conrad wasn’t going to leave someone to die if he could help it.

“New plan, Jorel!” the ex-cop said, flooring the accelerator and driving in the direction of the few zombies walking toward the girl. Yeah, she was weaving through trees, but Conrad knew that the walkers would be faster than someone who had taken a polar bear plunge. Fortunately, the zombies didn’t realize what was going to happen until it was too late; with a loud THUNK each walker became roadkill under the Explorer’s front bumper. When the car was as close to the girl as it was going to get, Conrad stopped it. “Get out,” he told the Australian, “and get her to the cabin. I think I can finish things up here.”

Once Jorel did so, Conrad drove away, eager to continue his God-given task of running over zombies with a car.
It was just another day in the neighborhood. There was snow on the ground, the weather was warming up, and those damned walkers were still on the loose. Not as many as usual though - that could be good or it could be bad. Good in the sense that his holy work was paying off, bad in the sense that maybe they were just somewhere else causing even more trouble than before. Conrad and his presumably Australian acquaintance Jorel were going to lure them in a different direction, but the ex-cop noticed something that was giving him ideas; they all seemed to be going in the same direction.

“Hey Jorel, I’m just thinking out loud here,” Conrad said in a tone that wasn’t actually loud at all, “but all of these zombies are in about the same spot. Maybe before and or while we redirect them away from our site, we kill a few of them? Kill two birds with one stone. Or two zombies with the Explorer, whatever.”

The Ford Explorer formerly belonging to the Charleston, WV police was beat up from similar ideas Conrad had executed in the past, but it still ran. “I mean, we could just shoot em’, I guess. God’ll be happy either way,” the former officer added before asking “what do you think?”
@Midna-Phobia sounds good, will do. Thanks!
@Midna-Phobia is this still open? I'd ask in Discord but I don't want to be the weird guy who pops in uninvited.
BTW having no power and forced to use your phone to post sucks.



Impressive that you were able to do that on your phone. I don't think I could stand doing that much typing there.

@DruSM157 should I make a Discord group for this RP? It might be a good way to communicate with people.
<Snipped quote by Zapdos>

I'm an idiot who believes that it's better to write answers and give credit for partial answers than have it a get the question or miss it entirely situation. Great for everyone's grades! Terrible for my free time


I get that and respect it, but I admit if I were teaching I wouldn't have the motivation for that :-P

I actually did pursue teaching for a year, but a combination of factors (not a lot of job security in my state, lack of teaching license reciprocity agreements with other states, bureaucracy, etc.) pushed me away from the profession. I respect the good teachers who make it work though and I'm happy that you seem to enjoy your profession; keep up the good work!
