A scant five months...and everything turned to collapse. Blades Tavare...there in his '03 Eclipse "Pistol...check, Trauma kit...check, Water bottle...check." He was outside of the military surplus store. "Looks a bit looted...but maybe there's a locked case or something of value here. Worth a look I suppose." He slung his trauma kit on his shoulder, clipped his water bottle to it and drew his handgun. "After this i'll look of Faye...hope she's okay."
-
Elizabeth "Rose" Carter shut her F:250 down, the rumbling Triton V10 going quiet. She didnt care if the dead heard her; it would keep them off of other survivors, she figured, and as such she was doing her job; protect life. Not to mention she hadn't had a walker manage to bite through her turnout gear yet. Speaking of... She pulled her turnout coat on and got out of the truck, then opened one of the side boxes on the bed cover and took her haligan out. She spun it as she walked up to a warehouse side door and swung the pike into the wooden frame. After a quick downward thrust on the handle, splintering the rotten wood inside, she was inside and looking through crates, primarily for food.
(The truck is based off of our command truck. I'll upload a picture sometime. I hope it's ok to use. I suppose it's a bit more appropriate than any of our brush trucks...)
-
Edgar walked along the sidewalk, searching around. He was always a bit anxious when outdoors, now that nearly everyone was biting people. He rounded the corner and spotted it: the old hospital that he used to work at. It looked like a tornado had hit the place. A majority of the windows were smashed, and nearly all the doors leading into the place were ajar. 3 of the five military vehicles that had been there when he'd left the first time were nowhere to be found, the other two were hardly recognizable. Edgar took a deep breath, and began walking towards the hospital.
-
(Aryd)
As you walk into the hospital, you see several doors boarded off or chained shut with stratches and moans coming from behind them. Obvioiusly, staying here too long was not a good idea but surely there must be something left here. Some food in the cafeteria or maybe someone forgot to clean out the medicine locker...
(Sledge)
The warehouse was abandoned, just enough light peaking through to show not another soul was inside living or otherwise. There were still a few palates of crate around the warehouse that looked untouched. Good thing Elizabeth had her haligan tool on hand.
(Myself)
Blades entered to find the front of the surplus store ransacked save for a few stray bullets on the ground here and there. He saws the door to the employees only area, unopened. Surely something good was to be had there.
-
Theo was locked up in his garage checking his stocks of food. Unfortunately he didn't have much left and now it was a trip to go and find some food. He moved out through the front door carefully and then closed and locked it. He carried some tools with him including his wrench as a last resort. He also had his camelback, and pistol too in its holster on his side. He glanced at his closed garage and began to really wish he had put fuel into the modded diesel VW Toureg behind the doors. Shaking his head he went to find fuel also if he could.
A long walk later he came across one of his listed spots. An abandoned gas station with a little store with some possible small snacks left. Maybe even a gun behind the counter.
-
Thankfully, since Edgar had worked here, he knew his way around the hospital. He remembered exactly where the drugs and medicine were kept. Hopefully nobody had beat him to the punch. He poked his head around the corner, looking to see if it was all safe. The storage was on this hallway, so if the hallway was clear, he'd just have to make sure there wasn't anyone in the storage room itself.
-
Rose grinned to herself and spun her haligan again, this time backwards. She walked to one of the crates and placed the haligan's pike through the padlock, then angled it to pry. After a few attempts, she managed to break the lock. She carefully opened the crate to see what she had unlocked.
-
(Kodoku)
Sure enough the door to the attached convenience store was left wide open, the glass broken. Most of the stuff had been taken but there were a few food items there left by every previous scavenger.
items
Can of Carrots x2
Can of Peaches x2
Can of Green Bean x2
Tin of Cashews x3
Canned Tuna x1
Bottle of Water x5
Looking in the checkout counter there were a few bullets, obviously there must be a gun floating around somewhere. The safe perhaps? It's locked however...maybe the keys are in the office somewhere or perhaps there's a prybar or tool he could use.
Items
9mm bullets x3
(Sledge)
The top of the crate opened with only a soft pop. This was a good one right here, water, food, and some camping supplies. Might come in handy if she had to hit the road at any point...
Items:
Box of Crackers x3
Gallon of Water x5
Large can of Green Beans x3
Large can of Tomatoes x4
Can of Peas x3
Can of Mandarin Oranges x4
Four person tent x1
Camping Chair x1
Water Purifier (pump) x1
(Aryd)
No moans were heard from the hallway however a weird shifting noise could be heard from where the medicine locker was. It didn't sound like a zed by the sound of it but would pay to be wary...Were they friendly? Hostile?
(Myself)
Blades looked through the back room/office of the military surplus store, searching for whatever could be of use now or later
Items:
Locked Gun case (Pistol) x1
Locked Gun case (Long gun) x1
Bag of cookies x2
Box of 7.62 bullets x1
"Not what I use in my pistol but must go to one of the guns in these cases." Blades thought loading up the cases in his car "Good for bartering if nothing else I suppose." He got back in his car and opened the glovebox, pulling out a flat orange soda savoring the sweet taste of it, saving the rest for another time. "If only I could open those cases..."
-
Blades then suddenly felt cold steel against his throat from a knife. "I think you have something of mine. Those locked cases you got? They're... kinda locked for a reason," a sabre-tooth said as she leaned against the frame of Blades' car window. "You also probably shouldn't leave your windows down. But don't worry about that. I just want my stuff back," she said with a casual, yet friendly tone.
-
Theo rummaged through all the stuff left. It was a pretty good haul actually. Some of it could fit in his tool bag, and the rest took the last space in his backpack. The one can of tuna and only one tin of cashews were stuffed into his toolbox which was now full. Then all of the water and the rest to his backpack.
He put the three 9mm rounds right into his current mag and then clicked it back in before holstering it again. He saw the safe too and looked to see the office door. Was it locked still?
-
Edgar slowly approached the medicine locker, taking out his bat. He also slipped the pistol he had into his pocket, mainly to make him look a bit more threatening, seeing as the gun had no ammo. He made sure not to step on any broken glass or trip over anything while he approached. He made his way to the room's door, and peeked inside slowly.
-
Rose nodded and moved to the next crate, popping the lock on it as well, then lifted the lid; she decided to open one of the bay doors and back her truck in when she was done searching, to collect the useful items.
-
(Sledge)
Moans could be heard from the nearby buildings. As Elizabeth opened the second crate she saw various parts, components and even a gun case.
Items:
Locked Gun Case (Long Gun) x1
Duct Tape x10
Wire x8
Battery x5
Lighter x3
Bug Spray x2
Gun Parts x2
There was still one crate to open...however the noises from the nearby buildings was a bit concerning. She could try going for the third crate...or should she take what she's got and run?
(Aryd)
Edgar saw a Chinese water deer with a fire axe in his one hand and a shotgun on his back. He looked over to him "Hey buddy, i'm not a bad guy here. This was pretty ransacked when I got here but they left a fair bit." He saw the gun in his pocket "If you want i'll split the goods half and half. I got people to take care of." his voice was rough and gritty but calm.
(Kodoku)
Theo opened the office door with a light push. There was a gun disassembled on the desk, all the parts seemed to be there and with a little knowhow he could reassemble it. However there was a corkboard above the desk with five keyrings on it. Surely one would open the safe...however only two had labels on them and neither said "Safe key".
Items:
Canid 55 Shark (Handgun) (Disasembled) x1
Gun Parts x5
Unmarked Keys x3
(Me, Wise)
Blades grabbed the pistol case and handed it out to her. "Sure. Long gun's in the back if you want it...however if you're gonna stay in that store, might wanna look into some housekeeping. Y'know, make it livable." Blades answered with some sarcasm.
In The Silver Scissors hair shop however...
Faye just didn't feel right. Must have been something wrong with the painkillers she took...they were painkillers, right? She stumbled up into her bedroom nursing a bad headache and dizziness. She collapsed onto her bed shortly after.
-
"Yeah. I'll do that. I don't neccesarily live here though. I move around. Only an idiot would stay in one place. But yeah. I'll hold you on that," Jane said as she let the knife off of Blades' throat and took the pistol case. She began to walk towards the back and take the long gun case. "Oh. And by the way. Name's Jane. Not like you may see me again. And everything you see that's locked, it's most likely mine, so don't take it. Otherwise, you'll die. Simple as that. See ya bandit," Jane said as she began to walk back inside.
*****
Cassandra began her normal routine. Get in and get out. She got off her motorcycle in front of the silver scissors shop and took her helmet off. She took a bite of her jerky and began to head inside, fully confident of finding something good. She began to look around for the undead first, making sure nothing was there. She whistled and knocked on a couple doors to listen. "Alright. What have we got he-" she began to say before she say Faye in her room. She quickly stopped and crouched. Was she alive? Is she conscious if so? Casey began to ponder as she waited a few moments.
-
Rose nodded and moved to the next crate, popping the lock on it as well, then lifted the lid; she decided to open one of the bay doors and back her truck in when she was done searching, to collect the useful items.
(Never actually opened the bay door... "When she was done searching." Sorry if I worded that poorly or something.)
-
(Maybe I misread it. Let me fix it.)
Fixed, just removed the bay door part.
-
(Awesome. Sorry again.)
Rose grabbed what she could and popped the lock on the bay door, then ran out to her truck and loaded her new haul, tossing the rifle case into the passenger seat. She fired the truck up and backed to the bay door, then jumped out and ran to the last crate. She popped the lock on it, watching the doors carefully.
-
Edgar stared for a minute in shock. He didn't know what to think, he honestly didn't really trust the deer, but he knew that if he left, the deer would surely take all of it, and he needed to have some medicine handy in case things got hairy. After cautiously stepping in, he spoke. "Uh... thanks... but I already... I already know what I need, thanks. I er... I don't need half..." He began surveying the shelf, seeing what all was left on it, being sure to not let the deer out of his sight. Being 7 feet tall, he had a view of the objects on some of the higher shelves, which the deer might not have been able to see.
-
Theo looked about and decided that another weapon could be good trade value... He looked and stuffed the parts in his bag. He would have to hold them or something but he traded a can of food's place in his bag. He grabbed the huge amount of keys and went to try... Well all of them.
-
(Kodoku)
Theo fumbled around with the many keys for a long time before it opened. Mostly just useless stacks of paper money. However the former occupant did have something worth taking in there.
Items:
Canned Tuna x2
A rumbling noise was heard from down the road. Was it a group of zed? The owner or occupant? Maybe Theo should take the tuna and food he left in the office and huff it out of there...
(Sledge)
This crate certainly didn't fail to deliver. Obviously a surplus from the gun store, many assorted boxes of ammo.
Items:
Box of 9mm ammo x3
Box of .45 ammo x5
Box of .38 ammo x2
Box of .22 ammo x3
Box of 5.56 ammo x4
Box of 7.62 ammo x2
Box of .50 ammo x1
Arrows x8
Noises were heard from outside, obviously zeds were starting to gather. What was most important to Elizabeth? Food and survival gear? Parts and components? Ammunition? Might be time to take all of it...might not.
(Aryd)
The deer nodded as Edgar looked above him. "Thanks man, name's Mordechai if you wanted to know. And I appreciate it, got a lot of people to care for back home." he looked down at a scrap of paper with a list jotted on it "My sister was an EMT before all this. Got her, her girlfriend, two younger sisters, mom and dad, my grandpa, my aunt, our neighbor and her husband and niece. Believe it or not we're holding out okay."
As Edgar looked on the shelf above the medicine locker, he saw very little had been taken. Good amount of medicine and even a little gear.
Items:
Anti-viral meds x3
Anti-bacterial meds x3
Herbal medicine x2
High-strength painkillers x2
Asthma inhaler x3
Perscription cough syrup x2
Defib unit x1
(Me, Wise)
"Well best of luck to you...we'll all need it." Blades simply drove off after that. "Oh yeah...now to find Faye." He was headed to the silver scissors hair shop where Faye lived and worked.
As Casey examined Faye, she saw she wasn't out cold but was pretty out of sorts and barely conscious and her pulse was rather weak. She wasn't running any fever but was a little clammy indicating she wasn't exactly well. She groaned a little from the terrible pain in her head.
-
Casey began to realize that Faye could either be infected or too weak to move. Casey began a slow approach, remaining silent. She began to softly and slowly look over Faye's body for any bite marks. "I wouldn't move if I were you. Otherwise you might not come out of my inspection alive. So stay still and shut up," she said in an eerily calm tone.
-
Rose grabbed as many boxes of ammo as she could, then returned to her truck, opening the door to the bed cover. She loaded the ammo into the truck and placed her haligan inside, switching it out for a pig tool.(basically a sledgehammer with a spike on the back.) from the bloodstains, it had killed its fair share of zed already. She the. Started walking back and forth from crates to truck, loading loot, leaving the back open so she could get inside and crawl through the sliding back window if she needed to.
-
Theo laughed slightly as he wasn't entirely surprised. Only the can of Tuna really made it a little odd. He grabbed that and the paper money before throwing it in the air for the amusement of making it rain. Tuna in pocket he got up and his big round ears twitched. Something was on the way. Getting up and out of the building he found himself a good spot to hide not far from the station. Just walking down the empty no cover road may not be the best idea. Especially with a full load.
-
Edgar nodded. "Yeah... You're welcome..." He then said, in a soft tone of voice. "Nice to see that someone still has their family with them..." Edger picked up his backpack, and loaded it with the painkillers, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial medicine, two bottles of each. He glanced at the defib, and then back down at Mordechai. He handed him the defib unit, and said. "Here. You're going to need this more than me. It's not like I would be able to use it on my self if I needed to." Edgar was silent for a moment, and then spoke. "My name's Edgar, by the way."
-
(Wise)
Faye seemed rather despondent if not distracted by the awful pain in her head. she clutched her head as Casey looked her over. She wouldn't see any wounds indicating a zombie assault, but she had a fair few bruises indicating abuse.
(Kodoku)
Theo saw as an SUV pulled up to the gas station. Three men stepped out of it, a fox, a lion, and a rat. They seemed to be having some stupid conversation regarding the proper way to charge into battle. They looked rugged and mean each with a handgun and either shotgun or rifle on their backs. Out of the corner of his eye Theo could see what appeared to be a young child slipping out the SUV window and bolting into the forest.
(Aryd)
Mordechai looked at the defib unit for a minute but then grabbed it. "Thanks...Edgar. We'll all appreciate this." Mordechai looked in his bag again. "Never really expected to see that kind of kindness again in this day and age. You're a good man Edgar." he stood up "If you ever end up in bad enough straits, we might be able to make room for one more...decision ain't in my hands but i'd vouch for you."
(Sledge)
Elizabeth could see a bunch of zeds clawing at the back door of the warehouse, the door was sturdy but it wouldn't hold forever. She did get a good chunk of ammo on the truck, about fourteen of the twenty boxes in the crate.
(Me)
After what seemed like a while of a drive, Blades had pulled up to the Silver Scissors salon to see the door just left open. He began to worry a bit as he stepped out of his car and into the store which was still in a bit of disarray. "Anyone here? Faye?" he called out softly.
-
Rose decided to quit while she was ahead and closed the doors on the back of her truck. She climbed into the driver seat and sat her pig tool in the floorboard of the passenger side. She fired the truck up and threw it in drive, heading into the city itself. She would keep whatever ammo her new long-gun fired and trade the rest.
-
"Alright. Other than a few struggler bruises you seem fine. But you seem to have some headpain and your body looks kinda limp. Maybe some painkillers will help," Casey said out loud in thought to herself as she heard a door open from the shop and heard Blades softly call out for Faye. Casey sighed. "Not this again. Alright stay here," Casey said as she hid in a corner of the room where she was not so easily visible, her weapon at the ready.
-
Edgar nodded. "Don't mention it..." He'd gotten all the meds he'd need for a while. He put on his backpack, and began to head to for the door.
(How much space in my inventory would the meds I mentioned earlier take up?)
-
(I'm so sorry. College is like 8 days away and I'm busy and super nervous. Please go ahead without me if I take too long.)
Theo watched the three bicker about whatever nonsense they were on about. But it was what came right on out of the truck that caught his eye. The kid didn't look to be very happy to be with them and was taking his chance. Interested he went down the road a little ways until the big tank would hide him for the most part of crossing the road the woods. Watching for a moment he darted into the woods and then soon when out of view, he made his way towards where the kid or whatever it was had entered.
-
(It's okay, I been there Kodoku...)
(Kodoku)
As Theo ran into the woods, the kid ran in his direction but tripped and face-planted in the dirt. He was a rather thin, lithe silver fox. He had no shirt or shoes and his jeans seemed very torn. Dirt and sweat stained the fur across his back and arms. The young fox couldn't have been much older than fourteen. He looked up in fear at Theo as he silently stumbled up.
(Aryd)
(one slot for each type of medicine)
Mordechai nodded as he headed towards the back exit, leaving Edgar to his devices. It looked like the sun was starting to set...no doubt finding shelter soon would be a good idea.
(Sledge)
The zed at the door seemed to break through as Elizabeth drove away. There was still a good amount of supplies back there...if it ever clears out. The lock on the rifle case seemed rather simple and could possibly be picked or forced open. For now however, it might be best to keep driving.
(Me, Wise)
"I don't...think i'll be going anywhere...for a...while." Faye mumbled as she continued to hold her head. Blades glanced up the stairs, Casey out of his sight. He pointed his pistol up the stairwell "Faye...are you here? I'm worried..."
-
Edgar stepped out of the storage room, and groaned softly as he walked out the front of the hospital, seeing that it was beginning to get dark. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get back to his home by the time the sun set. He'd have to set up camp somewhere nearby. Climbing atop a pickup truck, he scouted the area for any suitable places to stay the night.
-
Casey made eye contact with Faye and put a finger over her mouth, silently telling her to be quiet. She waited for Blades to pass by so she could catch him from behind. Her plan may not havw worked out entirely, but it was all she could go on at the moment. Hopefully it would work so she can know who this guy is.
-
Rose pulled to a stop at an intersection downtown, several nearby shops catching her eye as potential places to hole up for the night. She drove around the back of one such place and shut the truck off. She then climbed out, grabbing the case and her pig tool. (I left it open If you want it to be a place a PC already is.)
-
(Since Kodoku will be away for a little bit, i'll just put Theo and his little buddy somewhere safe till his return.)
(Aryd)
As Edgar scanned the area, he saw a few options for shelter. There was a church with a high bell tower that would keep him from the zombies most likely, there was also a little inn which seemed pretty quiet, he could also try the plaza with the hair dressing shop, pharmacy, thrift store, comic shop and mini organic food store.
(Sledge)
As Rose pulled into the plaza that Edgar was overlooking, she also saw the different shops she could try to hole up in for the night.
(Me, Wise)
Blades slowly walked up into the apartment above the silver scissors, looking for Faye "Faye? You alright?"
-
As Blades entered the apartment, he was caught off guard with a gun to the back of his head. "Make any sudden moves and I guarantee I won't hesitate to pull the trigger," Casey said somewhat coldly. "Is Faye the lioness? If so, she's in her room. She looks like she overdosed on something. Maybe painkillers or something. I don't know. You can check on her, but you gotta put your weapon down."
-
that pharmacy will be cleaned out Rose thought, grabbing her pig tool and rifle case and climbing out of her truck. that organic store might have something that kept, though... this decided, she went to the organic food store and tried the door to see if it was unlocked.
-
Edgar, after a moment of thought, decided to go for the bell tower. Hopefully, it would both keep him safe for the night, and give him a good bird's eye view of the area surrounding him. He made his way to the church, and upon arriving, he tried the door.
-
(Sledge)
The door of the organic food market opened with a mere push, sure it was a bit disheveled inside but there was relatively little blood on the floor or signs there were people here during the main panic. Half the shelves were thinly stocked with varying organic, healthy food items from organic cake mixes and dried fruit to celery root and whole grain chips and dried mushrooms and whatnot. There was even a little propane burner on a table nearby, must have been a demo station. With a little work...could be habitable.
(Aryd)
Edgar opened up to see the church was rather empty, a weird blockade near the front alter consisting of pews and military fencing...must have been an old evac point. The ladder up to the tower was sturdy. Edgar could probably improvise some bedding for the night if he so chose.
(Me, Wise)
Blades slowly raised his hands, handgun visible. "Faye..." hen turned to look at Casey. "Look, i'm a decent guy but i'm not a pushover..." he looked over at a nearby end table "Let's just both place our weapons on the end table there and assess the situation here..." trying to make a reasonable counter offer.
-
Rose gave smiled to herself and sat the rifle case on the table next to the burner. "First thing's first..." She placed the pick of her pig took into the hasp(loop) of the lock on the case, then pried it against the table.
-
(Sorry, I didn't realize Sledge was in the same place as me.)
Edgar, as he was looking around the inside of the church, heard the sounds of a truck turning off. He quickly closed the doors behind him. Walking over to the area with the military fencing, he checked about for anything that he could use, hoping to find some sort of firearm or ammo. He figured that if all went well, he would then climb up to the bell tower to get a view of the truck he heard.
-
Casey chuckled. "You think I'm joking... don't you? I won't hesitate to shoot you now and end your little story," she said pressing the barrell harder against his head. "Drop the gun... now."
-
(Aryd)
Edgar dug around in the military barricade area. Wasn't much luck in the firearm department, only a revolver which appeared to have only two bullets. But that's not to say looking wasn't worthwhile. It appeared there were some useful items left behind in the disheveled mess. Some varied weapons and even some protective gear was in the barricaded area.
Items:
Ruger Vaquero (2/6) x1
Improvised stun rod x1
Combat knife x1
Entrenching tool x1
Kevlar Helmet x1
also, there was a footlocker nearby that if Edgar decided to root himself here or in the nearby plaza might not be a bad place to stash his extra gear.
(Sledge)
After some struggling and prying, the gun case opened for Rose. Inside was a winter camo Remington 700 with a scope and three magazines. There seemed to be something masterful between the paint job and how the rifle felt down to the very craftsmanship of the piece itself.
Items:
Remington 700 w/ scope x1
Remington 700 magazine x3
Rifle strap x1 (can be used to carry the rifle on the back, freeing an inventory slot)
(Me, Wise)
Blades seemed to snap a little as the gun pressed into his head a little more "...I know i'm not joking..." he slammed the gun into the holster. "...I also don't leave myself at the mercy of strangers...you know firing that gun would draw every zed for miles...blocks...a situation you can't slip out of..." Blades replied pushing Casey's gun away from his head, his tone sounding a bit more angered and grim. Relying on a mix of intimidation and reason this time as apposed to pleading, trying to play on her psyche which seemed questionable to him.
-
Rose smirked and slowly ran her finger down the stock, then popped a mag in and chambered a round. "Beautiful weapon." She muttered, attaching the sling and placing the weapon on her shoulder. She then set about gathering the few remaining food items that had kept.
-
Edgar looked at the items he'd found in the military barricade, wanting to manage the items he was carrying as quickly as possible. He put the Colt 2000 he had on him in the footlocker, picking up the revolver to take it's place. He put the helmet on his head, and grabbing the combat knife and the stun rod. He put the entrenching tool in the footlocker; Edgar didn't plan on digging any holes anytime soon. Once he got all that settled, he began climbing to the bell tower of the church, as to get a look at the truck he'd heard.
-
"Beautiful weapon indeed," a voice said as a knife was put to Rose's throat. "Now... that case there was locked for a reason, but I'll assume you don't know what locks mean. Locks are meant for keeping the unwanted out of other people's belongings. Do you understand?"
*****
Casey seemed to just stare at Blades for a couple of moments as he was brave enough to push her gun away from his head. But she then cracked a smile, which soon bursted into laughter. "You... you're right on that. But...-" she tried to say in between laughs. After a minute she ceased laughing almost abruptly and looked back into Blades' eyes with a smirk once more. "You know you're pretty funny. Not very intimidating but confident. I'll give you that," she said as she flicked a finger on his chin. "Go see your Faye. Tell me how she is. You probably know more than I do."
-
"I get into locked places for a living." Rose said, outwardly not showing her distress at having a knife to her throat, though she deffinately felt it inwardly. "And besides, it was in a warehouse, in a crate. If the owner was alive, they would've claimed it by now." As she spoke, she ever so slowly reached for her pig tool a few inches away. "I'm sure you don't want to kill someone who could save your life, now do you?"
-
(Aryd)
Edgar made it to the top of the bell tower and saw the plaza below him...everything seemed so small from up here. The truck looked to be maintained. The plaza stores seemed to be completely dead of life, living or otherwise save for ambient noises. seemed oddly peaceful...something no one seemed to find these days.
(Me, Wise)
Blades looked at Casey dumbfounded, her reaction had thrown him off completely. "Ummm...okay." Blades couldn't tell how Casey was gonna behave. Did she wanna shoot him? Be buddy-buddy with him? Date him? He just wasn't at all sure. "Let's...have a look at Faye." he went into Faye's room, seeing her on the bed barely conscious. "She like this when you came in? Not implying you did this."
-
As Edgar looked out at the truck, the thought of stealing whatever was in it crossed his mind many times. However, this idea was shot down by the possibility of whoever the truck belonged to coming out in the middle of him doing the task, which would almost certainly result in his death. He decided that his best option would be to barricade himself in the church well, in case whoever this truck belonged to tried to barge in while he was sleeping. He climbed back down the ladder, and scoped out his options for barricading.
-
"Let's just say I have drop-off locations. Maybe I was here before. But I know that there is my weapon," the sabre-tooth said to Rose. "Now if you could kindly hand it over I would be much obliged."
*****
"Nah. She was like that when I came in. Musta overdosed on something. Probably not too good speaking that she looks half-dead already," Casey said with a shrug.
-
"Oh, and you were too weak to go get it yourself?" Rose asked, her fingers finding the handle of her pig tool. "I'm notbuying it. There were no walkers for over twenty minutes. Now, can I turn around and talk to you face to face, or are you too weak for that too?"
-
"Weak? I'd hardly call myself that. No. I just keep these items in special places for... emergency purposes. After all a girl's gotta be prepared. Just like I know for a fact you're reaching for something. But I guarantee I can react a lot faster than you. So... we can talk face to face. Only if you'll let me back up with the promise that you won't try to beat my face in," the woman replied with a slight chuckle.
-
Rose released her weapon and raised her hands, then turned around slowly with a smirk. "I wont promise that; you know how it is, but uh... i'll Tell ya what. you show me the keys to the case I just popped open and I'll gladly hand you this rifle. You'll still be weak for having someone else retrieve it and not getting it yourself, though."
-
"Well she ain't dead, so let's try and keep it that way." Blades answered. "Maybe we should secure the place for now, maybe try and solve the mystery of what happened to my friend here. She did for sure overdose but that's just rehashing know info. Now to figure out what." He repositioned Faye on her side. "Look for anything a miss around here, an empty pill bottle or anything like that."

Edgar could probably take some of the existing military barricade and block off the door. He could also try to wedge a few of the benches in front of the door. Either way, he'd be safe from the zeds if he stayed atop the bell tower. Maybe trying to find a rope for an alternate escape might be a good idea...
-
Edgar, as quickly as he could, wedged the benches into the door, as well as put up some military barricading. He wasn't really as afraid of the zombies as he was of the owner of the truck he saw. He stepped away from the door, and assured himself that the barricading he'd done would suffice. He hoped to find some rope, he would probably be hiding out in the bell tower after all, and he might need an alternative escape later. So, he checked out his surroundings once more, hoping to find some rope.

The sabre-tooth let down her weapon and held up a finger to tell her to wait. She cautiously took off her backpack and rummaged through it. She eventually pulled out a key-ring and showed it to her. The key-ring had almost too many keys to tell there was a ring around them. "It's bound to be one of these. But I hardly use them anymore. I mostly lockpick whatever I need because it's quicker."

Casey smirked and began to search for a bottle of medicine. Finally looking beside the bed she found a small trail of pills leading to the bright orange bottle. She snatched it up and began to read it. She sighed. "Great. Just great. Well... this girl's an idiot. She took Atenolol. Blood pressure medicine. Musta thought it was pain killers." She sighed again. "Just... great. Oh well," she said as she threw the bottle over her shoulder. "Not much helping her now in her state. Unless you make her vomit. For... whatever hasn't been digested at least," she said with a small chuckle.
-
"One of them? You expect me to take your word at that?" Rose asked, bending down and picking up the lock. "Show me, or you'll have to find me a gun to replace it; I'm thinking a circuit judge would be a good trade."
-
"Well...that explains a lot." Blades answered looking at the bottle. "Wouldn't be the first time I've taken a call like this..." He rummaged around in his medical bag for a minute and pulled out a little container of black pills. He unscrewed the cap and pulled one out "This should help...charcoal caplets. Helps absorb toxins...or excessive medicine in this case." He poured a little water from his bottle into a glass on the nightstand and broke open a caplet in said water. He put the glass to Faye's lips "Here, drink this..."
Faye drank the charcoal water, still feeling terrible and woozy. She was still quite limp and weak but she was a bit more aware now "Hey...thought you'd...never show." she said faintly.

After a little rummaging, there was a few things to be found.
items:
10 ft. rope x1
Canned Tomatoes x2
Granola bar x2
Canned Cherries x1
most likely whatever was left of the food pantry...Everyone's a charity case at this point I guess. The rope wasn't quite long enough to reach the bottom of the tower but it sure beat a straight-up drop.

Casey rubbed the back of her head awkwardly. "So... sorry for feelin ya up like that uh... Faye was it? Had to make sure you weren't bit and didn't have a weapon to turn on me. Wouldn't be the first time," she said with a shrug. "So... raccoon boy? What do you plan to do now? Not like this is exactly the safest part of town." She yawned, showing off her silver canines on her top jaw. "Got a plan?"

The sabre-tooth sighed. "A circuit judge? Last I hid one of those it was in some hair salon. That's almost on the other side of town," she said with a cross of her arms before she began looking through the keys. Each of them had an initial carved into them to represent which one goes where. "Alright. Umm... what weapon is it you got right there," she asked curiously as she didn't look up and continued through the keys.
-
"It is a..." Rose said, I slinging it from her back and looking at the designation on the side. "Remington 700. Tell me, you owe me at least an answer to a few questions... Why do you leave weapons anywhere instead of using them to trade or save your life, or I don't know... Maybe help someone else?"
-
Faye merely nodded a little "Prob'ly woulda done the same thing in your spot...surprised you didn't tie up for good...measure." drifting in and out a bit.
Blades looked to Casey "Not really at the moment. Been mostly skating by on luck honestly." he looked out the window to see the church across the way, he sighed "Haven't really rooted anywhere yet, mostly living out of my car. Maybe go near the outskirts of the city and camp out somewhere around there, not a lot of zed there."
-
"Help someone else? You do know it's survival of the fittest right," the sabretooth replied to Rose. "And I have weapons scattered about because A, I can't hold them all at one time and can't risk them all getting stolen in one place. B, it's if I end up in a sticky situation in the area and I have a weapon ready. So yeah. That's why," she said as she took a showed a key to her with the initials of R700. "I think I can take back my weapon now."
*****
"Yeah but you know there are less supplies out there, right genius? The more dangerous, the more bountiful the loot," Casey said with a wide smirk. "And what? Afraid of a few geeks?"

Edgar picked up the rope, taking note of the food he found. He was rather hungry, so he sat down on the ground, and ate the two granola bars. Once he was finished, he slung the rope over his shoulder. Before heading back up to the bell tower, he set the stun rod on the ground, and picked up the two cans of tomatoes. He wasn't really a fan of tomatoes, but they sure beat starving to death. Then, he quickly began climbing up to the belltower, to see if the truck was still there, or if any change had occurred while he was downstairs.
-
"It's always been survival of the fittest." Rose said, handing her the rifle. "The only thing that's changed is the way people die. Now, I get the feeling we won't get along very well, so if you would, take the gun and hit the road. If you ever need my help, well, it's what I do."
