Dead City (closed)

[Drakeyboy]

Pat would see Xia enter the room and lean up against the wall next to the door as she watched Kreed start building the barricade. There was a lot of thoughts running through her mind as she took her breather. Like how will she get out of here, or is it worth it to travel with this group. Minus the fox of course. Which to be honest it wasn't too bad. They were willing to work together so it was fine. But Xia doesn't seem to know anything about the zeds, plus well... she wasn't fit at all, not even slightly. As for Kreed, she couldn't tell just yet. He's fairly quiet and intimidating so who knows. Maybe she will stick with them for now and when she gets a better idea about them she'll make a decision.

After a sigh Pat stood upright again and entered the apartment Kreed entered. "You want some help moving furniture?"

[Jacob Hail]

The vixen watched as the coyote disappeared into the apartment and shook her head before looking over to see Kreed barricading the door, deciding she would do something useful and help out. She sure as hell wasnt as strong as the badger, but she was toned, and knew she could probably lift a few peices of furniture by herself. Alexa set her gun and bag down and the hall and walked into the apartment next to the one Kreed and Pat were in, looking around at the cluttered mess inside. A body of an otter hung over a flipped coffee table, a big hole in the side of its head and dried blood and brain on the wall next to it, indicating someone already took care of it. Still, she gave the body a kick to make sure it wouldnt get up before shoving it off the table, gripping it on both sides and heaving it up. Manuvering it out the door was a bit tricky, but soon she had it in the hall way and propped it up against the door. She quickly walked back into the apartment in a hope not to catch Pats or Kreeds attention, figuring it was best just to give everybody space, let tempers cool down. Even though Leetonia hated to admit it, have other people around made her feel better, less alone and safer knowing she wouldnt have to fight anything by herself.

Xia, after finishing her business with the zombie looks at the twisted remains of the golf club and sighs, "Two in one day...I dont think she will notice..." The yote drops the weapon on the floor. She has no desire to try and clean zombie juices off of a broken weapon.

She glances quickly about the appartment she is searching. Her hungry belly delays the search for weapons, bringing her to the kitchen. She opens the fridge and her eyes show dissapointment at the slim pickings inside. Shutting the door she moves to the freezer.

Her tail begins to wag as she spots several frozen hamburger patties and a few steaks.  Meat! Meaty meatly meats!

"I guess we wont resort to canibalism after all..." Now if only she could find a cooler to transport them in....or have the time to grill them...or a place to do so...

The yote leaves the meet alone for but a moment until she searches the kitchen further to find a lunch pail, a soft one that wraps over her shoulder, and begins stuffing loot into her bag.

She exits the appartment later, glancing left and right down the hallway before trying to catch up with the badger and dog. "So what's the plan? We going to hole up here or leave?"

The badger placed a finger to his lips when the husky walked in, pointing in the direction of the door to the stairwell. After a pause he gave a slow nod, motioning to a few moderately filled bookshelves. If they laid them the right way the extra weight may service to hold the thing in place. Between the two of them it wasn't a hard job, The badger shouldering most of the weight while he silently nodded for Pat to maneuver the end through the door. He heard a shuffling coming from the stairway just before the vixen became visible hauling a coffee table. Luckily it was light and didn't make much noise as it was being adjusted. She moved away as quick as she had come, and Kreed just huffed a sigh. At least she was helping.


As he and Pat moved the bookshelf over to add to the pile, Xia came down the hallway. Kreed just let the bookshelf lay atop the coffee table and chair, face up so that its contents remained inside and applying more weight. It wasn't much, but it would stall a few zeds.


"We need to leave eventually but given that there's a horde of undead in the stairway..." He said, his voice low. He nodded towards the door, where the first zombies were finally noticing their presence and pressing up against the closed door. "We need to find another way out, or wait until the alley clears up enough to head back in that direction." The giant badger just watched the door for a moment, before he moved back down the hall. After all, if they needed to they could climb back up to the roof, zombies would not have the coordination to climb out the window.

[Drakeyboy]

Pat helped without complaints and merely ignored the fox as she helped. Once the bookcase was in place pat looked to the barricade and nodded. At least it was sturdy... ish. She would hear Xia asked her question then pat spoke after the badger spoke Pat threw in her opinion. "Let's hole up in the room we came into. If we need to leave early we can escape to the fire escape. And we will be able to check on the zed in the alley while we wait for it to clear. Even rest if we need to while we wait."

[Jacob Hail]

Leetonia would listen to the others conversation from the apartment she was in, mauling over their ideas. Letting out a sigh, she walked back into the hallway and collected her thing, throwing her dufflebag over her shoulder before cradling the shotgun in her arms. "Yeah, the roof is a good idea, if we need to retreat back to it that is. The roof of the building next to us is about 1 and a half to two stories below, we should make a way down to it, just incase the dead decide they dont wanna leave ww can go roof hopping." As she spoke she didnt look at the other three, but instead at the barricaded door, or more, the infected bumping on it.

[Xavier Akafur]

There was a long pause after the vixen spoke up, Kreed's eyes also moving to the door as the zombies bumped up against it. In the silence another noise became evident, and he turn to look down the hallway. He wasn't sure, but he thought he heard a scratching sound coming from that direction. He stood there another moment, but nothing seemed out of place and he simply turned and walked back into the apartment in question. "Roof hopping doesn't sound very appealing." Was all he said as he went through the open doorway. He was somewhat disappointed that they hadn't found anything more useful, but at least they had food and water for a day or two.


He made his way over to the kitchen and with a movement that seemed almost too easy he scooped up a wooden chair and snapped a leg off of it. Rummaging through the drawers he pulled out the sharpest looking knife he could find and took a seat in one of the unbroken chairs, beginning to whittle down the broken end of the chair leg into a sharp point. A backup weapon was never a bad idea, plus the coyote seemed to be lacking a weapon entirely.

[coolcoyote]

Xia, wagging her tail back and forth slowly behind her took a deep breath to steady her nerves. She wasn't exactly with out weapons now but it paid to have a decent back up weapon.

Seeing the badger break down the chair she steps hesitently closer. "Hey." She says simply. "Mind if I take one of th-those legs as a club? Or did yo-you need them all?"

Being the sci fi nerd she was Xia thought about using swords of course against the undead population of the city. And of course chain saws, flame throwers even ray guns. In the end a good old fashioned club would have suited her just fine.

After all if you use a weapon that peirces of slashes an opponant eventually you will cut yourself with it. And considering that the targets in question are infectious practically to the touch...

That and Xia's stomach couldn't stand the thought of being so brutal.

The coyote shakes her head, its odd where her thoughts go sometimes. "Yeah, If you arnt use the rest of the chair I would like to make a club out of it."

[Drakeyboy]

Pat would also walk into the apartment with everyone else and got comfortable on the floor beside a wall socket. She wanted to check if power was still running in this building so plugging in her PSvita to the charger was a good way to check in her mind when the device was dead. And with the little light turning on it was a good sign. She decided to tell everyone the news. "Just to let you all know we have some power here." Pat would then rest up against the wall and close her eyes to lightly rest.

[Jacob Hail]

Alexa sighed and shook her head as the others ignored her, walking into the apartment last and shutting the door behind them. The fox then went into one of the bedrooms and ripped the all the sheets off the bed before heading into the closet to collect more. Once she was satisfied with the amount gathered, she walked back inti the livingroom and sat on the couch, starting to tue the ends if the sheets together.

[coolcoyote]

Before the badger could reply Xia turns to the husky, "Even if there is power we may not want to use it, not while in a hot zone like this. The lights and noise would just agitate the horde, which is a pity since I found some steak"

She says in a chipper tone. Food always made Xia chipper. But then her voice drew serious, "Does anyone know how to get past the wall? Surely someones heard a rumor or...knew someone with an idea."

[Xavier Akafur]

Kreed just gave a nod and handed her the one had had already sharpened when she asked, picking up another chair leg and beginning to do the same to it. The kitchen knife wasn't the sharpest tool, and working the wood dulled it rather quickly, but it held an edge long enough to get a solid point onto the chair legs.


"That's a good question." The badger replied, looking around the room. He had made it near the wall once, near the start of all this mess. It didn't seem like something that could be breached by any normal methods. "I've seen it but I did not see anything that would indicate it had an exit... Plus if anyone outside knows what's going on in here I am guessing any attempt to get out would get us shot on sight."


Kreed made note of the power and nodded. "I may have a way to clear the building, then. If we can get water down the stairs and find a power line in the wall we can just fry the **censor**." He grumbled, another wood chip flying from the tip of the chair leg. "Could blow a transformer or any number of other things, though. It wouldn't be particularly safe."

[Drakeyboy]

As everyone was talking about plans and the wall pat would pull out her spare box of spare shotgun shells and replaced the ones she spent during the encounter earlier. Obviously listening as she did so. Don't want to get left out from the planing or anything. By the time Kreed would finish Pat would have closee the box and returned it to her bag. "Well in my opinion i think we should steer clear of the wall. There's probably a lot of zeds around there especially if a lot of people tryed to look for a way over or around it." Quickly she would tap a button on her handheld with no immediate response coming from it. As soon as a battery light up un the screen she would look to Kreed and say. "And if we were to rig the electricity like you said there is potentially a fire hazard too. In this building. Points for creativity though."

[Jacob Hail]

Alexa pulled tight on the last knot, making sure it was firm before coiling up the sheet rope and laying it on the couch next to her. "Yeah, a fire hazard, and not to mention youll need a 220 volt line to fry anything, and the only way to get that is through the main breaker box in the basement." She added once Pat had finished, leaning forward to grab ahold of the coffie table in front of her and pull it closer. She grabbed her shotgun and began to pull back the action, dropping all the shotgun shells into her paw and placing them on the table. "As for the wall, there is no way in hell we are getting over it of even past it for that matter, the government put it there for a reason." The vixen reached over and grabbed a remaining sheet, ripping a piece off of it and folding it up. Keeping the action open, she began to gently rub the cloth along the inner mechanisms of her shotgun, cleaning away the blast residue. "In situations like these the government has one priority, and thats containment. Make sure the virus or whatever the hell it is doesnt leave the city." She moved the cloth up and around the receiver before flipping the gun over and polishing the barrel. "I guarantee you they will kill us if we get over that wall, beacuse to the Feds, we are already dead. So if any of you have any dreams or hopes of a rescue, Id get over them."

[coolcoyote]

"I can't accept that." Xia blurts out suddenly. "Otherwise what's the point of survival if there is no hope of...well, SURVIVING. If I'm going through the trouble of not getting eaten then I want to live at the end. So some one some where has to know how to get out of here."

The coyote tries to keep herselve from sounding desperate but fails. "Or find a place to ride it out until the government comes to rescue us. They...they will come for us eventually, r-right?"

A zombie in the stair well bumps against the door loud enough to be heard and cause Xia to jump. "Please tell me I'm right!" she wails.
