PART TWO

[ Okay, so you got out of the mansion. Great, right? Now you can go on home to whatever hut you live in, and...



Uh.

Wow. This is definitely not your island. And the drone of monsters just outside the fence doesn't sound like any dingo you've ever heard.

Speaking of, does that sound like someone you know? ]

[ ooc; Phase two! YOU MAY NOW TAG THIS POST WITH 4TH WALL ZOMBIES. Of course, feel free to continue threading in the mansion post! However, this post marks the beginning of the city phase. ]

[We should get to that, yep.]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

[ Anddd after digging through some things... ]

... hnn. A map.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Checking the windows and doors again, making sure they're closed. Not locked. Others might need a safe place, but he did set up some noise makers attached to the knobs, so they KNOW when someone comes in.]

You found one? [Will come look at it!]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

[ Handing it over. ]

This city is a lot larger than I had assumed.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[Looking it over.] Makes sense. More terrifying if the area is large and packed. Lots of areas to hide in.

[Pauses as he looks at the map.] ...I keep doubling back to the Mansion.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

We're not going back.

[ Said sharply. ]

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Like hell we're going inside.

[Points at a place in the map.] We were on this street, so even with a generic name, this is the restaurant we're at. [Trails his finger down the way they came.] Here's how we got here. [Then goes down another road.] We needed to go this way instead because City Hall is right outside the Mansion grounds, here. [Points there.]

And just down this street, a weapons shop. [And points there.] So at some point, we're going near the Mansion, even if we stick mostly to the opposite road depending on where doors are.

Wish I had my skateboard. Would be a lot faster and probably safer that way...

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

As long as we don't go in, I'm fine with that route...

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

There's just one problem we're gonna have.

If everyone is appearing in the Mansion, it means that's going to be the zombies 'biggest' source of food. With the numbers we saw heading there already...it's gonna be a dangerous run.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Could we take a longer route?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...no. Because either way, we're gonna have to get close to get to the stores.

And we can't even try by rooftop. The streets would be too wide.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Keh...

Let me pave the way with my goats.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...we might have to go that route.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

It'll make things easier in the end, trust me.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...right.

I have three soccer balls in my belt that I can launch off, though hopefully there's enough debris. [Does not like using his ammo.] How fast can you run?

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Fast enough that I'm not a liability, don't worry.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Even with those shoes? [Looking at his own shoes, debating the pros and cons of charging them now.]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'll be fine. Boots aren't hard to run in and I'm not clumsy.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

I was worried more about the heels, but if you say you can handle it, it's fine.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

They've handled far worse. Anyway...

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...right.

Brightside is this should give us a better idea on our situation. We should also look around City Hall for any emergency reports. [Folding up the map.]

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

Are you sure we'll find something useful there...? It could be a trap.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

The thing about traps is to trap someone, they have to find out they're trapped.

In which case, the person tips their hand completely.

[bitchcrafts.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think our captor here is a little craftier than that.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter how crafty they are.

It'll tell me enough. [He's run into traps enough on his own.]
