Okay, can my group stumble upon Straker first?...Or...Do we 'bump into lone survivors' via PM?...I can already imagine an AMAZING storyline for this :cool:

[_____V_____]

It's all randomised, although PMs DO play an important part in this.

You will just have to wait and see.

[cheebacheeba]

I got no PMs.
Also, no PMS.

...:o

[Dude Guadalupe]

I heard things were happening here, but if cheeba doesn't even have PMS maybe I heard wrong.......


:D

The crowded airport terminal made Cheebacheeba annoyed.

Spa had just gotten off the phone, satisfied that he had landed safely. Now he felt a bit thirsty and nauseous, and looked at his watch impatiently again.

A female voice yelled his name from somewhere in front of him. She hurried forward through the thronged crowds, looking rather apologetic.

"Sorry! Sorry...sorry for being late," WickerFan smiled sheepishly.



MissMacabre dashed into the parking lot, hurriedly parked her car, and virtually ran in front of everybody to the airport. She was heaving and puffing when her cellphone rang.

"Where have you reached?" The Return sounded slightly exasperated.

"Just entering the airport," she said in-between taking deep breaths.

The Return heaved a deep sigh and shook his head, looking at the person in front of him grinning widely. "I was too excited," the boyish smile brightly spoke.

"Come back. Ferret took a taxi." The Return hung up.

MissMacabre suddenly became completely still and stared at her cellphone.




"In breaking news across the US, security analysts have quarantined whole areas of Arizona and Colorado in a desperate attempt to contain the deadly viral outbreak which is fast spreading through air. Citizens living in those states and neighboring areas are advised to use gas masks compulsorily, and to contact your nearest medical emergency centers if you experience any of the following symptoms..."

Chronogrl stared at the TV incredulously. What the fuck, were her starting thoughts as someone started pounding heavily on her door.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

CHAPTER 1 - FIRST LANDING



Cheeba, you and WickerFan have stopped in front of a long row of empty cars who are blocking your path in an underground tunnel heading towards WickerFan's home. The skies have turned into a hue of green. WickerFan has passed out on her steering wheel. You are fighting big waves of dizziness and soon, your lights are knocked out.

When you come to, you look around. WickerFan is still out cold. You check your watch and realise with a start that you have been out for more than 24 hours. Taking your travelling bags filled with clothes and stuff and a gift for Rayne, and car equipment in Wicker's car into account, send me a PM detailing the TWO things from them you might need for your next move.




MissMacabre, you have passed out just outside the Airport terminal. When you come to, you find the whole place deserted and devoid of any activity. Confused and very alarmed, you walk hesitatingly back into the Airport. Finding the whole place totally empty, you start to hear huge alarm bells ringing in your head. You run back to your car and head back home. A quick check on your watch reveals that a whole day has passed without you knowing it.

On the way, you notice that the roads and shops are completely empty. The houses near your building are filled with a strange empty hollow noise, as if the wind is blowing through them. You feel the hairs on the back of your neck slowly rising, as if you are about to face some unknown danger. You slow down and think hard of all the things you carry in your car. Send me a PM listing any useful stuff you might have in your car, and which TWO things you would want with you immediately after stepping out of your car.




Rayne, you are out in the barn when you come back to your senses. You sense some sort of noises and movement coming from your house. Always on the edge for anything dangerous, you look around the barn for some sort of a weapon. Send me a PM about any sort of weapons you might find inside the barn. You are limited to only TWO of them.



All of you have 24 hours to send me your PMs.

[horrorzack]

Great beginning! Can't wait until the next part and hope one of the groups will run across a survivor soon.

FIRST UPDATE


TWO leaders have started their long and perilous journey of survival.

ONE has yet to start.


Less than 11 hours remain.



EDIT - All THREE leaders have started their journey, as of now. We now move to the first item of interest...

[_____V_____]

A croquet mallet.


PROs - Heavy, sturdy, makes quite an impact.

CONs - Needs swinging, made of wood with a slim handle, so prone to breaking.

Is it a useful item?

If yes, post "Aye" or "Yes". If no, post "Nope" or "No Way".


Majority rules. 5 votes either way decide it's future.

[neverending]

Aye.........
