I'll be happy to talk to you then.
Though I'll admit, if nothing else, the speech bubbles will HAVE to be standardized before they are print-worthy.

Today, we bring you a guest comic by Nina Anima of Cat's Eyes. This cool little strip was totally unsolicited - Nina simply enjoys Loaded Dice and felt like doing a fan/guest strip. I was quite happy to run it!
Here's today's reddit link; if you enjoy Loaded Dice, please vote it up there.
Thanks! Comments, as always, are welcomed!

Emily is in agreement to run through and get food, get out as quickly as possible.
Is this the agreed upon plan? If so, I'll go ahead and post. If not, you guys need to RP this and/or handle this in the Q&A thread.

I have moved you guys across the street to the grocery store. You are standing at the broken out storefont; let me know how you want to proceed. How do you plan to carry stuff, what are you shopping for, etc.
What will you do with Mac while you shop?

Treasure Island Foods - 2:00 PM
The survivors load Mac (somewhat unceremoniously) into a wheelbarrow, gather their belongings, and move out of the Ace hardware. It is more difficult maneuvering the wheelbarrow than anyone had orignially anticipated; broken glass and the corpses of the infected lay in the way. Murph is forced to drag one of the bloodied, stiffened bodies far enough from the door to allow access for the makeshift transport.
As he does so, the mechanic tries to not look at the fixed, lifeless face of what had recently been a young man in his twenties. No longer driven by whatever force motivated the murderious actions of the zombies, the body simply looks gaunt and tired.
Interestingly, you realize that the body of your former companion, Jake, is not among the dead here. Does he still live? The thought of his axe attack compels more than one nervous glance over a shoulder.
Nothing molests the group in the trip across the street, and soon, you find your way past the couple of abandoned vehincles inthe parking lot to the front of the store itself.
It would seem that the survivors will be three for three in attempts to easily enter abandoned businesses. However, while the drug and harware stores were unlocked, the reason this grocery is so easily accessible is that most of the plate glass storefront has been shattered out. Shopping carts are scattered about - some upright, some capsized, still others mangled and crushed.
A stench is wafting from the inside of the store, but the source of the odor - from decomposing meat, seafood, and produce, or from something more sinister - is not readily apparent.
Much like the stores across the street, it is obvious that there is no electrity here, though the store itself is not so stuffy due to the sudden "ventilation additions".

I am excited to announce that the Red Dragon Inn will soon be featuring a new webcomic!
Please check out Old Wizard. A young apprentice sets out on a quest to become a full wizard.
Written and drawn by Lazarus, and colored by Forrest Rhodes, the comic updates (religiously) twice a week.
Lazarus is an update machine, as a matter of fact - he also writes and draws Super Buzzkill, a gag-a-day type comic full of, well, off the wall daily gags.
Keep your eyes open, and make sure to support the new comic!

Topic: It's time to hand out the pink Shirt now
Subject: back to the original subject
My daughter has to be the ultimate pink shirt gamer. Every single time we tabletop, her character is always the one ready to run at the drop of a hat.
Me: "Your legion of elite shock troops stumbles across two drunken kobolds. One has a sharp stick."
Emily: "My character runs in the other direction!"
Okay, I may be slightly exaggerating... but it's almost this bad.

If Tiamat is adopted, we will become a big, happy Southern family - our family tree will not fork.
And Eol... dude, now it's all so clear! That night of passion back in high school, never saw you again. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME??? I'd have done the right thing, and stood by you! Don't you think I would have wanted to know our little Grugg when he was just a wee... um... orcish, trollish thing?
Geez, bad genetic combination, I guess...

No tetanus shot, sorry.
Mac is stitched, folks. Shall I post again, and move you to the grocery store, or do you want a crack at it?
Tiamat - Emily was successful in treating the wound; provided Mac doesn't suffer any more trauma to the area, do anything too strenuous with it, or get an infection, he'll be okay. The morphene will make him sleepy, so you get to sit out posting for a bit longer, it would seem.

October 26, 2014
Ace Hardware - 1:50 PM
Emily shook her head at the various discussions taking place. "Murph," she stated, "he needs to be stitched up before he goes anywhere. Otherwise, there's a good chance Amber's work will be for nothing, and he'll die anyway."
He might die no matter what, the thought occured, but Emily ignored it.
Alaster was apologizing, like it hadn't been a group decision to not murder Jake the moment he was hurt, and like it was his personal fault that she'd been hurt. "Forget it," she snapped, a bit harsher than she had intended. Still, couldn't the man see that there were more pressing issues right now?
Some preacher (religious fanatic?) had come to join them, but Emily ignored him in the face of her task. He had shot zombies, that was good enough for her right now. Amber offered help, which the med student gladly accepted.
"Help me prop his upper body up a bit while I work, so that gravity can work with us, not against us."
Once that was done, Emily began digging in her pack, producing iodine, bandages, scissors, and a needle and thread. The next step was to cut Mac's shirt back and carefully remove Amber's field dressing, which predictably began to weep. After that was done, the med student began carefully cleaned the entire wound with the iodine.
She shuddered at the sight within - Mac would have to be stitched up to prevent fatal blood loss, but fully closing a wound of this size worried her, as well - there was an excellent chance that the anaerobic bacteria whould thrive and create a wonderful pocket of infection. Still, this was his only chance.
He had been lucky, if you could call it that - the axe had barely missed the major blood vessels. Emily knew that this would require more than one layer of stitches - the deeper tissue would have to be repaired before the skin could be pulled together.
After the first couple of thrusts of the needle within his chest, Mac groaned. Emily opened her pack again and pulled out a vial and a syringe, then gave the bounty hunter a measured injection. He visibly relaxed.
"Morpheine," she stated simply. "If he fights, it'll be worse."
With that, she resumed her work.
**********************
It took the med student a good forty-five minutes to stitch and bind the wound, time that the rest of the party spent nervously watching either her efforts or the streets. Finally, Emily administered another injection - this one, penecillin - and proclaimed the job to be finihed. She wasn't entirely happy; the stitches were much too large and sloppy compared to those of a real surgeon. Mac would have a doozy of a scar, provided that he survived.
Still, she was proud of her work, and was reasonably sure that, as long as he took it relatively easy for a bit (and didn't get an infection), that Mac would live.

I'm kind. Ted has seven bullets.
Figure it out, folks, so that I can post.
Whole party = more firepower = greater survivability in a fight.
Whole party also = wounded included = less chance of successfully fleeing if it comes to that.

Splitting the party in the midst of the zombie apocalypse?
How delicious! 
Also, I should point out that while Emily, being an out of towner, would likely have no knowledge of the man, the rest of you Chicago locals may well recognize "Reverend Artillery".
Father Theodore Gregory (aka Father Ted) is a pretty well known televangelist based here in Chicago. He probably hit the very height of his poplarity in the Jimmy Swaggart era of the 80s, but has been doing the Lord's work on TV for better than three decades.
It's up to you guys how much you know about him; your character may be totally oblivious, but they probably at least recognize the face. It did come out in the news recently that Father Ted has been living a very lavish lifestyle - penthouse suite, Rolls Royce, multiple month -long safari trips to Africa, etc. Popular opinion of the man was damaged, but he still held his position up until the zombie outbreak.

This is correct - the harbor is only a couple of blocks to the east. You may be able to find a boat here.
A gentle reminder, guys - you left the basement due to hunger. You still don't have food.
