I had that same thought, T... and considered, at least, turning the wheelbarrow over on top of Mac as we ran for our lives, hoping that the maggot-farmers wouldn't bother with what appeared to be a dead body... Not sure that we'll have time to write a note, though.

I'm fairly certain you can count on Murph for that once he realizes where she's gone... *nods*... assuming he makes it to the front of the store himself, that is.

...and right about now, Murph's thinking; You know, Sarge, you really only made an absolute promise to Amber and implied one to Emily... you try to keep the unspoken promises to everyone else and you'll never keep any of 'em the way this is goin'...
Also, if it looks like pushing the Macbarrow is gonna get someone munched, I don't think there'll be much discussion to it... No talking! Just dump the wheelbarrow and move!... regret, yes... discussion, no.

Whisper's "issue" wasn't so much the payment, though, as it was the time frame. Less than two months to kill 9 high-ranking fairly public figures... and one of them the King??? It could take that long to learn the habits and patterns of a single mark and then to plan and carry out the actual assassination could take another good bit of time... it's not as if these are the type of marks that you may just randomly bump into on the streets of the city and go; "Hey! Fancy meeting you here!" *stabstabkillkill*

...as much as I hate to say it, I'm actually thinking that we might wanna leave Mac where he is and hope that the zombies won't mess with something that isn't moving/showing signs of life... (the things seem to be attracted to movement and sound more than anything else)... Turn the wheelbarrow over on top of him and keep moving?

Subject: For the record...
...Murph isn't planning on sticking around to fight off the entire horde... just help knock the one down that Alaster's facing if necessary and then split... At the front of the store, he'll wait around only long enough to make sure that Em and Ted are getting out, providing cover as necessary and such... Amber's outside alone, y'know... and that makes Murph more worried than anything else...

Topic: Zombies in Chicago
Subject: This is ridiculous customer service!
With Emily keeping watch over Mac just inside the store and Father Ted standing guard over them both, Murph offered a quick nod to Alaster and Amber (whom he really wished he would have tried to talk into staying up front with the others) before turning his eyes on the ever-darkening depths of the wrecked and rancid Treasure Island. “Okay,” he breathed, unzipping the Cubs pack, pulling Amber’s purse from it’s interior, and readying both containers to accept the boxes and cans they hoped to salvage from the shelves, “let’s make this quick… grab it and go, right?” There was another, momentary glance at Alaster (who nodded) and Amber (who tried her best to smile and nod and not think about the shadows that clung to the stores guts)… That’s it… try not to think about it, baby… Murph thought, offering her a quick smile in return as, without another word, he got his feet to move him into the aisles and tried to keep the thoughts that tormented him at bay, too.
I dunno, Sarge… You sure this is Purgatory and not Hell? Sure looks and smells like Hell in here…
Yeah, yeah… Shhh… I’m tryin’ to listen…
Shushing his own mind into silence seemed to work for a time. As he worked his way up the aisles, hurriedly shoving cans and boxes into both pack and purse without more than a passing glance at what the labels said the contents might be, his inner voice was quiet and his ears keen on the sounds coming from the other aisles… The tentative footsteps, the muffled scrapes and clunks as items were taken from shelves and secured in packs, and, once or twice he even thought he heard someone’s heart pounding but, when he listened closer, he couldn’t be entirely sure that it wasn’t his own… either way, with Amber and Alaster out of sight, those sounds made him feel a tiny bit better about not being able to put eyes on them.
Not so much that he got complacent about it, though. In situations like this, simply hearing what was going on was a far cry from being able to see, and, when Amber’s horrified scream tore through the dark, fetid air of the grocery, Murph cursed himself for not having insisted that all three of them stay together in the same aisle. He cursed aloud, having already dropped the can he was holding and bolting for the next intersecting aisle, when an all too familiar inhuman wail cut the air behind Amber’s scream… “Dammit,” he growled, situating his packs and reaching for the machete as he ran, “Everybody out!”
“Whoa,” Alaster’s voice, now, “what the hell?”
He fleetingly caught the sound of light and fast footsteps beating a hasty retreat to the front of the store… Good girl! Run!… Then, as that God-awful zombie howl ended with a powerful thunk and shaking of shelving units as bodies were slammed into them… Crap! Al! …and more unearthly screams rose in answer to that first one, Murph sprinted harder, hoping to get to Alaster and out of the store with the rest of the party before those things did. Murph was glad to see Alaster standing when he rounded the corner into the aisle where the carpenter had been foraging… not so glad to see him squaring off with the zombie…
“S#!^, kid,” Murph said, coming into the aisle a step or two behind the younger man with his machete in hand, “Don’t play with the f***in’ thing! Drop it and let’s go!!!”
((OOC: M’kay… I’m thinking we drop this first zombie because we kind of have to, so, Murph will assist Alaster with this one, hoping to take it down long enough to haul a$$ up front (cut it off at the knees with the machete, beat it unconscious with the bat, or whatever)… Once there, if Ted, Mac, and Emily haven’t already evacuated the store, Murph will assist there, too…))

I'm still thinking that the wise option, here, is gonna be RUUUUUN!!! Toying with options and possible outcomes, atm, though...

...You are imbued with the knowledge that the magical powers of a twinkie are much like The Force. The cream filling represents the light side and the cake represents the dark side (and like said twinkie representation, the dark side will always surround the light side and squash it's creamy butt)...
I wish I could find the unlimited ammo cheat for Zombies in Chicago.

Subject: OooooH!!!
Okay, so Mac, Emily, and Ted are up near the front of the store (presumably within easy reach of the exit)... Murph, Amber, and Alaster are cruising the aisles... Are they all in the same aisle or are they spread out to any degree?
My thoughts, atm, if we've already got a little bit of food, anyway, is to haul our butts outta here and don't bother fighting unless we have to... Mad dash for the door to link up with the others, head back across the street towards the east (angling towards Stratford?)...
Of course, Alaster's already tangled up with a flesh eater, isn't he?
That might complicate things a little...

Well, hopefully, Murph won't get munched anytime in the immediate future but, if he does, let's hope there's been enough 'listening' going on for the rest of the party to at least have an idea of what they need to do next...
...and, I suppose, if Murph does become zombie-chow, ol' Reverend Artillery has probably got some ideas of his own.

Subject: Entirely possible...
...but, in that situation, I'd almost bet Murph would part with the shotgun in order to make sure the others were better protected. He'd make due with running or the machete (or whatever was handy) while in the aisles if necessary. Besides, if the shotgun goes off, Murph stops shopping and goes to the front... if Murph gets ate... well... more food for you guys and you still have the shotgun, right?
