Um, well... The thing about that is... There is no forest. You're on Tutorial Island, and it's been basically completely covered with civilisation. There is a rather large bush outside, if you'd like... |

Correct. For the time being, I've simply blunted his machete, so he's basically holding a length of metal.
If you want another weapon instead, CheckMate, feel free to change it up. Also, I only have part of the sixteenth grid left to finish. I hope to be able to write up Introductions for everybody and have the Area Descriptions ready to send out tonight, so with any luck, the game could start tonight. EDIT Finished Map. Working on Introductions now. Last edited by Zairak; 07-06-2009 at 12:45 PM. |

Prologue:
July 4th, ????: Company Report no. 17,583: This is an emergency. The two Projects have escaped and are loose in the city. The city is in a panic. I am ordering an immediate quarantine of Tutorial Island. We are currently searching for the culprit responsible for this. Player Intros: Quadrant I: Sector I: Square 3-5: Fat1Fared Alex Fared is currently in a Casino, attempting to avoid his debtors by hiding in plain sight. Looking around, he sees several gambling games such as BlackJack, Roulette and the infamous Slot Machines. There seems to be a commotion near one of the Exchange Desks, however. Paying it no mind, he settles down to another game of Poker. Then, he feels a hand clasp his shoulder and pull him backwards out of his chair. Briefly, in the alley... Two thugs are assaulting Alex, one holding him still from behind while the other slugs him in the stomach, demanding that Alex pay them back. As the second thug is about to punch him again, the first thug lets go of Alex and backs away, drawing his gun. The second thug looks around to see what's going on, only to be mobbed by a group of seven people who immediately begin ripping chunks out of him with their bare teeth. The first thug, suddenly terrified, begins shooting at the mob erratically. Alex takes the oppurtunity to grab the baseball bat one of the thugs was going to use and dive through a nearby window back into the Casino, which is suddenly empty. Turning around briefly, he watches as the first thug is overrun and goes down screaming. Alex retreats further into the oddly quiet Casino. Square 4-7: Checkmate Checkmate is sitting at the Bar, trying to drown old painful memories in liquor. As he downs another glass, he hears a crashing sound behind him. Quickly turning around, he barely dodges a body flying towards him. Looking over the counter, he sees that the bartender was hit by the person. Getting rather irritated because his source of drinks is now incapacitated, Checkmate turns around to find out who did this. Seeing a person nursing a bloody hand, he walks toward him and begins to berate the offender. Halfway through the tirade, however, the offending party's eyes grow huge and he flees out the doors. Checkmate begins to give chase but stops when he hears this odd groaning from behind the bar. Going back in hopes of getting more drinks, he looks over the counter and sees the person who was thrown devouring the bartender. Recoiling, Checkmate falls over a table, clumsily drawing his ever present steel crowbar he carries for some reason. Everybody in the Bar has left by this point. Slowly creeping up to the bar, Checkmate prepares for battle. The zombie leaps over the bar, tackling him. Struggling with the zombie, Checkmate manages to get his arm around far enough to hit the back of the zombie's neck, shattering it's vertabrae. Exhausted, Checkmate finally shoves the zombie aside, walks back to the bar and pours himself another drink, before preparing to move. Square 8-2: WeirdSmells Echo is sitting at a table, waiting for his contact to get in touch with him. Turning his head to order another drink, he sees a paper on the table when he turns back around. Picking it up, he reads: "Don't look around. I have you in my sights, and I'd hate to have to find another tool. You see, there is a certain task I require of you. Bumbershoot Congolomerate has been working on a secret project, of the utmost importance. I require you to infiltrate their headquarters, steal the specimen, confine it in a safe location then come back to this Bar for further orders. And, of course, your payment. Taped to the back of this paper is a one use keycard, to get you into the required areas of the Bumbershoot headquarters. Do not fail me." Sighing, Echo finishes his drink and leaves the Bar quietly, proceeding directly to the Headquarters in Grid 1-4. Following the instructions on the paper, he manages to move deep into the company. Finally, arriving at the specified location, he finds a very large room, with two cages set into the far wall. "Aw damnit... Which cage has the right specimen...?" Echo mutters. Moving closer in hopes of getting a clue from seeing the specimens, he stands directly in front of the cage. However, it is far too dark in the cage, almost unnaturally so. "Oh well... I suppouse this guy won't mind having an extra specimen.", Echo decides. Then, he opens both the cages. Peering in, he narrowly avoids the sudden attack as one of the creatures takes a swing at him. Moving backwards quickly, Echo suddenly regrets only taking his customary Cross with him. Slowly, one of the creatures emerges from the darkness, sniffing the air. Upon seeing the creature, Echo abruptly decides to get the hell out of there and takes off running back down the hallways he came from, praying he remembers the way. From behind him, several alarms sound and shrieks rend the air. As Echo finally reaches the exit, two huge forms smash through the second floor of the building, heading northeast and southwest. Afterwards, Echo returns to the Bar, somewhat hesitantly, to await further contact with the mysterious person. Quadrant I: Sector II: Square 2-9: Eia Sheila is perusing the Book Store, attempting to find a Player's Guide to the Internet. As she looked through the bookcases, she happened to look out the window where people were running around for some reason. Shrugging, she continued her search, until somebody came up and tried to bite her hand, cracking his teeth on the MMORPG-esque gauntlet she was wearing for some reason. Grabbing a copy of the biggest book she could find, a large print copy of War and Peace, she repeatedly whacks the zombie on the head, then stands on the corpse and does a victory pose, a la FFVII. Square 3-3: rikkuswolf Rikku is sitting in a Cafe, waiting for her order and for her handgun to be finished. An unloaded shotgun rests by her side. As a waitress finally comes back, Rikku begins getting out her silverware. However, the waitress didn't have any food with her. Looking at the waitress impatiently, Rikku demands to know where her food is. The waitress shakes violently, then falls down. Quickly grabbing up her shotgun, Rikku goes to the woman's side and begins shaking her to wake her up so she can get her food. Looking around, she notices that the Cafe is oddly empty. Then, she hears an odd groaning sound coming from the kitchen. Going to investigate, Rikku finds the Chef backing a customer against the wall, teeth bared. Running towards the Chef, Rikku swings the shotgun around and hits the Chef in the side, knocking him down. As she attempts to calm down the customer, the Chef rises back up and charges Rikku, only to have his teeth mashed in by the stock of the shotgun. The Chef's head snaps backward and his bones crack. He falls to the floor, dead, as the waitress smashes through the door and falls to a second swing of the shotgun. Rikku then returns to the customer and finally calms him down. Square 5-8: Spoofs3 Dev was in the Pool Hall, attempting to beat the Pinball High Score. It is a slow day and only two other people are in the place, playing a game of Pool. As the game concludes, the loser accuses the winner of cheating, only to be mocked in return. Finally, tempers flare and the loser punches the winner, knocking him out cold. As the loser rifles through the winner's pocket for more quarters, the winner throws him off and bites his arm. Dev attempts to pull him off the loser and eventually is forced to grab a pool que and try to pry him off. However, the zombie then attacks Dev, who is knocked back onto a table and uses the pool que to fend off his attacker. Gathering his strength, Dev heaves the zombie backwards over him to collide with the Pinball machine headfirst. Blood starts seeping out of the machine, and then the machine is aflame. The loser runs out of the Pool Hall, leaving Dev to stand there, confused as hell. Square 6-4;6-5;7-4;7-5: AsterGray Aster is hanging out in the Mall, chatting with his friends and joking around. As they prepare to head to the Mall's Arcade, a large commotion is heard from several areas of the Mall. Slowly at first, but at a rapidly increasing speed, people begin running towards the exit and yelling as strange people begin attacking whoever is closest to them. Aster looks at his friends, only to find one fending off the other as he attempts to bite him. Finally, his friend is overcome as several other zombies attack him. Aster runs away to the top of the Mall and hides in an air duct, grabbing an iron pole from one of the shops along the way. Quadrant I: Sector III: Square 9-6: killshot, ShiningRadiance Killshot is in a Bar, drinking the night away and attempting to impress women with bad pick up lines after he got fired earlier that day. As he tries yet again, the woman he is speaking to collapses, much to his chagrin. Shrugging, he orders another drink. Feeling something weird around his feet, he looks down to see the woman he was speaking with gnawing on his boot. "Damn... I must *really* be drinking too much.", killshot thinks, as he reaches down to pry the young lady off his boot. He finishes his drink and moves elsewhere in the Bar. The woman won't leave him be, however, and tackles him. Suddenly, three people rush in and begin attacking the customers. Killshot knocks the woman aside and runs to his car, grabbing a golf club from the trunk to defend himself with. As the woman is charging him, she slips and killshot swings the club, hitting her in the head and killing her. Looking around, killshot sees several people running out of the Bar, so he goes back inside, figuring he'd be safe there, but there was apparently one person left. There was a lone woman sitting at the bar, apparently unbothered by all the commotion, an empty sword sheath at her side. She takes another drink of alcohol and sighs. The woman, Cynthia Raoul, then looks at killshot questioningly. "Whaddya want?" Cynthia asks drunkenly. Killshot ponders the wisdom of teaming up with her, but... "I'd like to cooperate with you. Something unusual is going on..." killshot replies, to which Cynthia shrugs her assent. Killshot moves to bar the door as Cynthia continues drinking. Square 6-3: Insane85 Insane is in the Gym again, training as usual. Also as usual, nobody is around, probably due to his bad reputation and even worse name. As Insane continues climbing the rope in the middle of the Gym, one of the Trainers walks in, stumbling slightly. Once the Trainer reaches the rope, he begins futilely waving his hands up at Insane. Curious, Insane wonders what he's about. Then, the zombie grabs the rope and starts swinging around, upsetting Insane's grip on the rope and forcing him to start climbing down rapidly. As he nears the bottom, the zombie swings it's arm and hooks it's fingers in Insane's right shoe, forcing him to kick the shoe off and jump down. Once he's down, he angrily advances towards the zombie, only to jump backwards as it strikes him in the chest, drawing some blood. Looking around, Insane spots a weapon in the form of a sledgehammer they sometimes use for exercises. Grabbing it up quickly, he returns to the zombie ready for battle. The zombie attempts to tackle him, only to miss as Insane raises the sledgehammer and brings it down on the zombie's back, killing it. Sitting down on one of the weight benches, Insane looks around warily for more attackers. Square 8-8: IamMcDoob McDoob is at the local Baseball Field and it's his Turn at bat. Readying his bat, he focuses on the Pitcher. Just as the Pitcher is in the middle of his throw, he goes off balance and his aim is off. McDoob swings for the ball, but misses horribly. He did, however, hit the Umpire who was about to bite him, crushing his forehead in. Abruptly, chaos rules the stands as more strange attacks are made. Everybody rushes off the field, leaving McDoob to stand there, clueless as to what just happened. Square 2-8: Xellos88 Xellos is sitting at his house, waiting for something interesting to happen. As he's watching another generic T.V. show, a wounded person smacks against the nearest window, leaving a trail of blood. Swiftly running to the window, Xellos sees the man being eaten alive by two others. Xellos then shuts the blinds, locks the doors and grabs up his steel crowbar from the toolbox, feeling a faint sense of deja vu. Quadrant I: Sector IV: Square 4-3: bakurachick Baku is sitting in her house also, playing her X-Box. Then, she hears a knock on the door. As she opens the door, a man missing half an arm rushes in, attempting to tackle her. However, as he was missing an arm, Baku just dodged to that side. The zombie proceeds to crash into Baku's entertainment system, upon which her X-Box rested. As the entertainment system wobbles, the X-Box falls off, crushing the zombie's skull with it's immense mass. Baku locks the door and picks up the X-Box for later use. Square 3-7: berober04 Berober is working in the local game shop. As he dusts off the game figurines, he wishes for what must be the thousandth time that something would happen in this boring town for once. Then the owner starting trying to bite him. Reaching for the nearest bludgeon, Berober grabs a replica of a Mythril Sword and cracked the owner of the store in the temple with the hilt. Grabbing a laptop, superglue and 24 Warhammer game boards, berober ran outside to the oddly large bush in the front yard and proceeded to try to camoflague himself with the boards. Oddly, it seemed to work for the time being as berober watched the zombies run by. Square 2-3;2-4: 0mnislash17, FanMan 0mni is walking around the School in his Football uniform, waiting for his next practice to start. As he passes by one of his old classrooms from High School, he sees several students fighting each other, some even drawing blood with their bites and scratches. One even seems to be fighting with a Fan. Lacking any other means, 0mni removes his helmet and goes in swinging the football helmet around, knocking several students to the ground. Grabbing the FanMan, 0mni runs outside and shoves the student into an empty classroom, closely followed by 0mni himself. He then asks the FanMan what is going on, only to learn that the student, apparently named Neo Trench, has no idea what happened either, only that the other students suddenly started attacking. Hearing screams from outside, they both fall silent, then start planning their next move. Game Start. I'll be PMing you descriptions of what is in your area soon. EDIT 81/1,000 squares mapped out. 8,242 people left alive. 1,683 zombies out there. Have fun. Um, also, may end up sending out PMs tomorrow. I feel woozy...

"Something isn't right here," Sheila thought as she noticed more zombies running around outside. Looking around the bookstore, she grabs a backpack that some panicked college student left behind and then runs down the aisles, grabbing a few books she deems important. She stuffs an advanced pharmaceutical textbook, a detailed map book of the city, the latest copy of Esquire Magazine, a guide guerrilla warfare and a battery powered, lcd book reading light into the backpack and headed for the back exit of the store, making it out into an abandoned alleyway. Suddenly, she felt a sudden urge for some caffeine, so she headed toward the cafe. |

"Well....what a great day" Rikku mumbles to herself, staring at the blood-soaked butt of her shotgun. "they got it dirty" she huffs, wiping it off on the chef's coat. "Well...at this rate, I should go get my guns" she says, as she starts twords the exit. "But first..." she adds, turning around and getting herself a cup of coffee. She payed for it, damnit.

*McDoob looks around at the fleeing players and fans*
"Where the hell is everyone going, it's only the top of the 7th?" thinks McDoob. "Bottom of the 7th" McDoob reminds himself. "You just struck out" McDoob turns around to apologize to the catcher for hitting him only to find the umpire crumpled in a heap on the ground, the catcher no where to be seen. Well, most of him anyway. A single finger severed at the knuckle lay near the umpires head. A quick check revealed the umpire still having all of his fingers, though the blood around his mouth answered the question of who it belonged too in a way McDoob really didn't hope he was right about. "You gotta be kidding me, those only exist in books and movies" says McDoob, thinking of the well thumbed copy of World War Z lying on his nightstand at home. Hurrying back to the visitors dugout, McDoob commences gathering up his things, throwing them haphazardly into his bag; a change of clothes, his glove, batting helmet, cleats (now wearing hiking boots)a half finished bottle of water and a half dozen baseballs. "I should head to the bar and see if Dad is still on shift, the bar is just down the street and he's usually working late." McDoob thinks to himself. Hefting his bag over his shoulder, bat still in hand, McDoob takes one last look around the seemingly deserted ballpark before heading East to the nearby bar. spoilers: Killshot I'm coming to you dude. I can be there in one turn if nothing goes wrong. *knocks on wood* Last edited by IamMcDoob; 07-07-2009 at 05:10 AM. |

Prefer actions via PMs?
That is silly ^_^ Sorry, but I am not going to PM an action unless it absolutely NEEDS to be private and seeing as I am alone with nobody to care about, I don't see the need to keep it silenced. POUR MON ACTIONATETION (The fuck is that in French?) Dev: Hmmm, That cannot be good... Firstly I will pick up some pool balls to use as long range weapons in case I do not feel i must get down and dirty with zombies myself. *Dev runs to the exit of the door and always on gaurd, looks out the door (If a zombie comes along, Smash the window next to it with the que causing it to get covered in sharded glass then smack it in the face with the que) Dev runs to the edge of the buildings and tries to get up onto the roof so he can more easily avoid (And kill) the offensive zombies (Use the pool que to get up more easily EG: aswell as running, Vaulting and cat gripping the walls, Use the pool que to vault up onto the roof, Stick it between two places to make a higher area to climb to, Use it to push against the ground to get elevated BUT DON'T LEAVE IT BEHIND) If I get to the roof, RUn along available roof points to get to the Cafe (Where Eia is headed)(Should land me in.... 3-6 on the streets or 3-7, 3-8 on the roofs (I take it there will be effort involved to get up there) If I do not reach the roof I will have to be safer and run along the streets in darkness to the Cafe, But always slip into a building available, Do not stay out in the streets when the turn ends) Tell me if I fucked up somewhere. |

Insane: Holeeee Shit...
Insane didn't see that coming... After looking upon the zombie corpse Insane kinda wonders what it would taste like... But as he reaches down to take a chunk he sees another zombie out the corner of his eye advancing on the gym. And after making another couple swings at the zombie corpse he realises his accuracy sucks. Whilst pondering a way to amend this predicament Insane stumbles upon a (invincible) training dummy and decides to try and train up his accuracy and strength against the dummy whilst awaiting the immenent hordes (please don't send hordes) of zombies that must be scattered throughout the city. |

ALSO of note. Some Players have noticed that the Map doesn't show where enemies are. That's because there aren't any survivors or zombies in the squares you have uncovered yet. As you fill in the map, more stuff will be apparent.
ALSO ALSO, during the first Turn, zombies won't go after you unless you go after them, since several players seem confused as to what to do. Last edited by Zairak; 07-07-2009 at 07:51 PM. |

Turn 1: 1 o' clock P.M.
July 4th, ???? Company Report no. 17,698: Soldiers have managed to confine the zombies to Quadrant I for now, including the two Experiments. Our agents believe they have discovered the cause for the infection... One of them tracked E.V.E. to the Water Plant, wherein she gained access to Quadrant I's water supply. Quadrant I: Sector III: Square 9-6: killshot and ShiningRadiance As Cynthia attempts to derive just one more drink of alcohol from the empty bottle she holds, killshot moves around the Bar, grabbing three bottles of alcohol and some squares of clean cloth. Searching the floor, he grabs a lighter somebody dropped. Tying some of the cloths together, killshot fashions a rope. He then breaks off a table leg and moves to the roof, barring the door up there on his way.As killshot ascends the stairs, Cynthia experiences a sudden burst of rage and lobs the empty bottle at the floor. As it shatters, she raises to her feet. Panting heavily, she staggers to the Men's room and enters. As she kneels in front of a toilet vomiting, she hears a voice from the far stall. "Hello, Cynthia. You don't know me, but I require your aid. You see... I have made a mistake. One larger than you may ever realise."The man goes on to reveal that he was formerly a CEO of Bumbershoot Conglomerate, and that the company had recently begun... Experimenting. Originally, he had suppourted the program, as it's originators maintained that it would forever banish the specter of War. However, it soon became apparent that such a dream was just that. People began... Disappearing. Finally, after much searching, the former CEO learned that the missing persons had been used in the experiments... Confronting the Leader of the Conglomerate, the former CEO was quickly accosted by Soldiers of the company, barely escaping with his life... But yet not fully intact. In his escape, he lost one of his arms to a particular Agent of the company. Even now, that same Agent stalks him, attempting to close forever the 'leak'. After hearing his story, Cynthia responds warily, "Why me?" "That... I cannot yet reveal." He answers. "You will understand quickly enough, I fear... Now. There is an extremely dangerous creature near here. You must be wary... Do not confront it yet.I regret I must take my leave now, as it's fatal to remain in one place, but... I will not leave without offering you some aid." Cynthia hears a scraping sound and a sword appears near her hand. "Take this weapon, and wield it well. And with that... I must go." The man says as his presence seems to vanish. Taking up the sword, Cynthia sheathes it, stands up and leaves the stall. On the rooftop... Killshot is overlooking the city from the Bar's roof. Looking to the West, he sees an apparition suddenly appear, blood-drenched and feral. Quickly reacting, he ducks behind the entrance to the Roof as the fell creature glances towards his location, then just as quickly looks away in search of more prey. His heart beating wildly, killshot falls to a sitting position. He thinks he hears somebody on the roof, but doesn't bother looking around. Sector IV: Square 2-3;2-4: 0mnislash17, FanMan 0mni and Neo finally agree upon a Plan. They then move around the room, 0mni placing the helmet back upon his head, taking a stapler and a pack of staples, along with a couple chairs, some pencils and a coat rack for a new weapon. FanMan procures a computer and a half eaten chicken sub. Moving swiftly, they head for The Janitor's closet, where they hope to find a gun for some reason, despite this being a school. They find no gun, but oddly enough, there is a taser which 0mni takes, along with a bottle of pepper spray. Neo and 0mni then proceed to the Nurse's office, only to find it empty. They do procure some medical supplies though, in the form of 3 first aid kits. Sector III: Square 2-8: Xellos88 Suddenly decided, Xellos runs around the house, grabbing a backpack, bottled water food and his industrial size box of SpongeBob band-aids as he leaves the house, going East one square only to run into a barricade of Soldiers as he attempts to keep going East. Their guns trained on him, the Leader of the Squadron orders him to go back the way he came. Sheepishly, Xellos retreats inside the house quickly to hide from the horde of zombies outside. Sector II: Square 3-3: Rikkuswolf "Well....what a great day" Rikku mumbles to herself, staring at the blood-soaked butt of her shotgun. "they got it dirty" she huffs, wiping it off on the chef's coat. "Well...at this rate, I should go get my guns" she says, as she starts twords the exit. "But first..." she adds, turning around and getting herself a cup of coffee. She payed for it, damnit. ______ For future reference... I'm not able to really discern actions from this, so you're still in the Cafe, as I've failed in my attempts to write further Results about this. ______ Sector III: Square 6-3: Insane85 Looking upon the zombie corpse, Insane briefly ponders what it would taste like... As he starts to reach down and rip off a chunk, he somehow misses his target. Realising that, in fact, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, Insane looks around for something to practice with, finally coming upon a training dummy. After punching it for the next hour, Insane feels more confident with his punches. Insane gains an added 5% in his accuracy (Melee) Stat! Sector I: Square 3-5: Fat1Fared Alex suddenly feels hungry and walks to the Casino's kitchen. Looking around, he finds various foodstuffs and a large Butcher Knife, which he takes as his new weapon. He also picks up some dice and playing cards for old time's sake. Sector II: Square 6-5;6-6;7-5;7-6: AsterGray AsterGray crawled through the air ducts, scoping out his situation. As he moves along, he notices that there are... Um... Shops of any and every description in the Mall for him to find stuff in. He also learns that there are 294 zombies in the Mall over the course of the hour he spends crawling. Sector I: Square 8-2: WeirdSmells Echo is sitting around the Bar. He orders a Whiskey and, when none is forthcoming, realises the Bar is empty. Shrugging, he moves to the Bar to help himself, muttering about hating Mondays despite it being Saturday, the 4th of July. As he rummaged through the shelves, Echo feels cold metal pressed against his skin. "What the hell do you think you're doing?... Where is the specimen I ordered you to obtain?" The Contact asked. Answering hesitantly, Echo says "There... May have been a slight mistake made..." Becoming angry, the Contact reverses his grip and clubs Echo in the side of the head, knocking him out. Some time later... Sector II: Square 7-7: WeirdSmells, Contact The Contact holds Echo by the collar atop the roof of the local McDonald's, slapping him in the face. Waking up groggily, Echo sees a man with a mask upon his face. Gesturing angrily, the man says "LOOK at what you're done!" as he turns Echo towards the Southeast. His vision focusing, Echo sees a strange shadow flitting from place to place, killing whatever she passes by with nary a glance. "THIS is your idea of capturing a specimen!? I am disgusted, Echo. Your reputation is ill-deserved." the Contact rages. "I should toss you to the beast now and have it over with. However... I will be merciful, just this one time. Recapture this beast and it's mate. Bring them to me. I will be waiting at the Airport in Quadrant III, Sector III. Do not fail me again." Echo falls to the rooftop as the man seemingly vanishes. Sector II: Square 5-8: Spoofs3 Dev, settling on a plan of action, goes around the Pool Hall collecting some pool balls for use as projectiles. Running to the exit, Dev goes into an alleyway and attempts to use his pool que to gain access to the roof via various acrobatics. Planting his pool que firmly on the ground, he lifts himself up and attempts to place the pool que quickly above his head to use as a bar to propel himself higher. Halfway through his swing, Dev realises: "Oh shit! I'm not wearing my Spiderman undies today!", as he falls flat on his ass. Rubbing the tender area, Dev decides to simply take the stairs to the roof in the Pool Hall. After he reaches the roof, Dev begins running from rooftop to rooftop, finally making it to Square 3-6 where he stops to take a rest. Sector II: Square 2-9: Eia Finishing her victory pose, Eia realises that all is not right with the world as she watches more zombies flood by outside. Moving about the Bookstore, Eia grabs a backpack, Advanced Pharmaceutical textbook, the latest copy of Esquire Magazine, a guide to guerilla warfare and a battery powered book reading light, stuffing all other items into the backpack. She also searches for a Map of the city, not remembering the nigh ancient law of the city forbidding anything ever being that easy. Moving through the back entrance into an abandoned alleyway, Eia has a sudden craving for caffiene and moves towards the Cafe, ending up in Square 3-7 and noticing an odd man jumping from roof to roof. Sector IV: Square 3-7: berober04 Feeling particurally brave, greedy, immoral or all of the above, berober heads back into the Game Shop to check the Owner's wallet for cash and raid the cash register. Taking all the Owner's credit cards and cash, berober04 robs the place blind, emptying the register. As he looks around for other sources of income, berober04 spies a Monopoly game on display and takes it as well. Sector III: Square 8-8: IamMcDoob McDoob, after taking sometime to talk to himself about his situation, runs to the visitor's dugout and grabs a change of clothes, his glove, batting helmet, cleats, half a bottle of water and six baseballs. He also changes into hiking boots. McDoob then decides to try and find his father at the Bar down the road. Heading East, he suddenly facepalms, realising that the Bar lies to the West. Turning around, he goes 2 squares West and one Square south to arrive at the Bar. He attempts to open the door, but it is barred. He then climbs the fire escape to the roof, looks around and sees nobody. Sitting down, he tries to think some more on his situation. Sector IV: Square 4-3: bakurachick Baku roams around her house, picking up a backpack, wrench, flat and philips head screwdrivers, can opener, a spoon, fork, sharp knife, pen, pencil and notebook, then goes outside, intending to walk down the street but not sure which direction she wants to go. Sector I: Square 4-7: CheckMate CheckMate is still drinking, and continues to do so, the drunkard. After nearly an hour passes of solid drinking, Checkmate climbs unsteadily onto the Bar and does a bad imitation of a swan dive into a keg he opened for this purpose. Surfacing, he treats the keg as a hot tub, except he's standing up in it and drinking it nonetheless. After a few minutes of this, Checkmate falls out and spends the remainder of the time passed out behind the Bar, awakening just before the hour is up.

The experiments A.D.A.M. and E.V.E, why do I feel like there is some kind of BioShock reference in here.

I know that but there is a game called Bioshock that deals with these two names as experiments used on people. You can look it up under the name of BioShock. I'll stop here so that this doesn't go too off topic.
