...note that I keep close tabs on ammo.

I have Jake down to one molotov as his sole method of defense, and Murph down one ten guage round (four in the gun, 21 total remaining).

C'mon CPD cruiser mini-lotto!!! hehehe...

Good post Tiamat... way to read Murph's reaction.

Also, Murph's got some thoughts in regards to that cruiser (most of which I'm gonna keep to myself until everyone else gets a post in)... I would advise, though, before we just walk up to it and open a door, that we make sure nothing is inside as best we can. Groovy?

I can't stop doodling!

Every post that fles through this game just gets my pencil hand all squirrely and, even though the chances are that we're not all (if any )gonna make it through to the end of this, I can't help but scribbling out rough little scenes... Soooo, to that end, I'm kind of looking for just a little bit of reference for something a little less scribbly to maybe sit down and whip up a "real" pic of our bunch of 'so far survivors'...

I've got a real good idea at this point of what Murph looks like (think Wentworth Miller from Prison Break... and coincidentally enough, the new resident evil flick that's supposed to be coming out this year)...

Mac looks like Billy the Exterminator (which kinda cracks me up a little)... got that... and can tweak the visual enough to make it less Billy more Mac...

Dunno why but I'm almost picturing Ashton Kutcher as Alaster...

I've got a picture of Jake in my head, too, but can't come up with a 'recognizable' name to put with it...

Emily... same as Jake... got an idea but am not really able to put a "famous name" with it as comparison...

And, Amber... wellllll, I may be fanatsizing a bit, but I have an almost Jessica Biel kind of impression, there...

*shrugs*

Anyhoo... just thinking out loud, really... and it's highly likely that all of these folks'll be munchables at some point... but, if I'm wayyyyy far off and you think you might like to see your character worked into the pic, lemme know....

Wish I had the computing power (and super skills) to model, render, and animate this thing scene-by-scene, but I was scribbling on paper before I knew what a computer was...

"I have to keep a tight hand on things"

" the more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers"

just kidding

Oh, and Eol, the dm did specify "The driver's side door is open, but no occupant is apparent."

He said no occupant was APPARENT doesnt mean theres a nasty lil f***** hiding in there right beside the gun we may need. Ill do a post in a moment i got off work early today thanks for NPCing him tho or agreeing to havent read the thread much yet. I kinda pictured my guy as Sam from Supernatural almost but hey ashton kutchers a ladies man so if u wanna draw him in go ahead id like to see the end result...

I was replying specifically to Eol, and I never said throw caution to the wind. Just pointing out the door was open.

I guess the next question is, 'how smart are these things?'

What the GM really means: "You can't see anyone/thing in the car from where you are, right now."

Also, think about all of the horror/slasher/thriller flicks you've ever seen in which some hapless knucklehead jumps in a car, thinking it's empty and primed to make hs/her escape because he/she didn't see anything moving inside it from half a block away... What happend when said knucklehead slipped behind the wheel, smiled that big "I just got away, ohmygod I just got away" smile, and reached for the ignition?

That's right boys and girls... Backseat full of zombies... rabid dust bunnies under the front seats... *hackslashspattertheWHOLEinteriorofthecarwithgore*


Trust the Eol, people... The Eol is good... The Eol is wise (or maybe that's supposed to be "wise-a$$")...


Also, nice post Ali... kinda liable to make Murph raise an eyebrow but good stuff...

I LOVE the RP moments!!!

Double ninjad!

Malek - Sam from Supernatural... *nods*... yeah, I can see that... I like it better, even... Kutcher kinda oogs me.

Tiamat - I hear ya, dude... Just sayin... Measure twice, cut once... (Actually might've been more in language that Alaster would understand but... meh...)

sorry didnt mean to act like an @$$ just thought id interject on your thought.

Nice post Ali you really tore into my @$$ there.
Made me laugh a bit.

I got my post up and it may be changing things up a bit depending on Eols response to my char. Oh and Eol nice post glad to see your char is scared as well...

...no worries.

You guys have already given me enough to work with post wise, already, and we're not near at the car yet.

Don't expect Murph to walk away and let the rest go it alone, though... he'll talk to Alaster, sure, but don't expect him to drift too far away... you'll see... RP fluff post by tomorrow, probably.

Kinda anxious to see what Meri comes up with, too.

Your kitten has claws! Rowr! fft, fft!

Merideth, waiting on you before I move forward (if you wish to post, that is). Also, no post from sunow yesterday? Odd, that.

I'll be bumping the game today, barring unforseen circumstances.

Life likes to keep throwing poo at me... spent most of yesterday putting all my ducks in a row and calming back down.

I will try to get something up before the end of my work day here if you can wait until then o'master of the inn.

M.

...Okay... I fluffed a LOT!

Got carried away there, perhaps, but I'm pretty sure that's how Murph would've reacted to Alaster's talk at that moment...

Point of note: Murph doesn't want to be the leader and probably wasn't really expecting anybody to come along when he first decided he was leaving the basement... after this first encounter, especially, he's thinking that maybe it would've been better if they'd stayed down there, in fact... but he also knows it's too late to change it and, like it or not, he feels responsible for all of the rest and isn't likely to let anything change that any time soon...

I think that my wife often wonders why I don't outgrow RPGs.

Take the last two posts in the main game thread (Eol and Meredith), and there it is, in a nutshell.
