Of Zombies and Men (OOC/Closed)

[Corrian]

All the characters should be added to the OP now I think.

[Ularn]

I promise my subsequent posts probably won't be quite as thick with swearing and dick jokes

[Altito Asmoro]

Okay, so I will try to figure out how to go outside from the hotel to the ground floor without being attacked, with a normal character with no training, very civilian-y.

Can I use NPCs to form up a group of survivors that my character will be involved until we reached a certain point where she will be joined the other characters?

That's pretty much what I'm doing with Andy; initially pairing Flak up with a more competent NPC to explain how he escaped the building site alive. I'll get rid of him once Flak's able to stand on his own better.

Is Sherry's hotel in Seattle? I could have Flak and Andy run into her while they're making their getaway in Andy's truck.

Yeah she's at the international airport in Seattle. Also I can have Joseph start to make his way to Seattle to meet up with y'all. The one thing you might consider is using the air ducts as best as possible.

Sherry's in Dulles Aiprort's hotel. But I can retcon so that she is in a hotel in the airport in Seattle.

would probably be better that way since, considering the safe zone is just outside of Seattle

[Vaquas]

Expect a post at some point today.

[Terintania]

Simon's at a store...somewhere. Probably in Seattle, to make him in a reasonable location compared to where others are, if anyone wants to meet up with him

Especially since Dulles airport is in Washington DC, the city, which is on the exact opposite side of the country from Washington State, home of Fort Casey

I forgot to mention that Effy was in Arlington, and I'm just going to assume that she goes to the high school I went to recently for the caucus thing.

In other words, my characters aren't really anywhere near anybody else yet. Arlington is rather north of me, in the opposite direction of Seattle, and Monroe is an hour from Seattle.

Character Application

Name: Sierra Foss

Age: 24

Appearance: About 5'6, with naturally blonde hair and green eyes. Athletic build. Quick and good reflexes but not very strong. Originally had long blonde hair with dark streaks and a nose piercing. Removed the piercing and chopped the hair short (see below) with her knife to make life a little easier on the run from zombies. Some very noticable scars on her lower back (see biography for how).

Personal Items: Red Moped

Weapons: Sharpened wooden staff, Surgical scalpels. As a nurse, she intially uses surgical scalpels from her medical supplies kit to defend herself. She later finds a sturdy, strong oak branch and uses the scalpels to sharpen it into an effective skull-bashing weaponing.

Bio: Was born as the eldest of four children to a middle class family in Harlow, Essex, England. Her alcoholic father's job as a butcher disgusted her, and as a result she has been a vegetarian since age 9. Sierra took great care in looking over her younger siblings and protecting them from her unstable father. At age 14, her father deeply gashed her lower back with a nail becaue she refused to let him hold the baby in his drunken state. Sierra developed a very compassionate, protective nature from a young age and used this to find her calling in life. At age 19, she initially enrolled at the University of Essex to study Botany, but dropped out after one semester and instead spent the year becoming a Red Cross-certified non-profit Nurse and Pediatrician. At age 20, she began travelling with the Red Cross to care for impoverished children with year-long stays in locations such as Cambodia, Zimbabwe and Haiti. She returned from her stint in Haiti one month before the outbreak. She felt happy and fulfilled by the good deeds she had dedicated her life to, but was tired of third-world locations. She resolved to work as a Nurse and Counselor at an inner city orphanage in Seattle for awhile. The day the plague struck, Sierra arrived at the orphanage to a gruesome site: dozens and dozens of zombified children eating each other.....This is the setting where I will begin RPing.

Actually Joseph is in White Horse, which is just 30 minutes East of Arlington of google maps is to be believed

I assume that the short hair and whatnot will come later in the RP, not right at the start

I don't even know where White Horse is....*Goes to Google*

That's such a fitting Washington state city/town name, though.

Edit This is what I got

If you look on google maps its a town between Arlington and Darrington.

Look up White Horse Meadow Farms

Correct.

Alright, accepted

Sherry's in Dulles Aiprort's hotel. But I can retcon so that she is in a hotel in the airport in Seattle.

Especially since Dulles airport is in Washington DC, the city, which is on the exact opposite side of the country from Washington State, home of Fort Casey

Okay, retconning her location so now she's in the hotel in Seattle–Tacoma International Airport.

Sorry for using Dulles, it is the only airport I am familiar with.

No worries. In that case, I've come up with a reason for Flak and Andy to head for that hotel, where they can coincidentally meet up with Sherry. I'll get writing...

Okay.

So...what kind of weapon that can be make of in a hotel room with available kit in the bathroom and the bedroom? Aside from shard of glass as weapon. And a lighter.

Main thing I can think of is break a mirror, take a shard of that, then tie or tap it to a curtain rod and make a spear and of there are bottles of wine or any other acholal in the room, just rip up a bed sheet and make some molitav cocktails

It's bad luck to break a mirror.

Not really. Just superstition, and the last thing I would be worried about in a zombie apocalypse is bad luck, you make weapons with what you have around you and a mirror is in atleast every hotel room

Curtain rod club? Mini-bar molotovs? I wouldn't suggest using mirror shards as a spear; they'd break too easily. Wardrobe doors might be ripped off and used as a shield.

Checking out hotels around SeaTac, it looks like the nearest large multi-storey ones (I'm imagining a big hotel from your post since Sherry could just escape out a window if she was less than two or three floors up) ones are the Radisson and the Crowne Plaza. I'll check out their websites for pictures of their rooms and see if I have any more ideas.
