erik shook his head.
"the main worry in the forest isn't zombies, its those ghost things. there's not much light in the forest, so there's not much to keep them away. the cab light seems to keep them back, but if we left the truck... we'd be screwed."
shrugging.

"We could use flashlights," said Kairana.

"They should work. Or, we could paint ourselves with glow-in-the-dark paint. No, we should do both."

There was a sparkle of laughter in Kairana's eyes. She was doing her best to keep the group cheerful, though she knew it wasn't much, because cheerful people are always easier to work with than grumpy people. And, besides, it made things seem a little less bad, without taking down any much-needed defence.

Jack smirked, "Why don't we just kill the few zombies here?"

erik chuckled and backed up a bit, then drove into the zombie in the front lawn, looking around and letting the engine idle.
"well, we might find something useful in the process."
chuckling and looking around.

Jack laughed and popped open the door, looking around for more zombies.


Posting as: GOD!!! The zombie caught under the truck is still alive, moaning and thrashing about, but is currently trapped by a tire on his torso. So far, no other zombies in sight.

erik looked down at the zombie under his tire, nodding jack over.
"hey princess, mind finishing this guy off, just to make sure?"
looking at the house.

Jack smirked and curtsied extravagently to him, before leveling her hand gun at the zombie's forehead and pulling the trigger.


Posting as: GOD!!! The zombie's brains spilled out over the grass, and it ceased movement. At the sound of the gun shot, two moans echoed out of the house.

erik chuckled and pulled out a knife.
"perfect. at least we know where they are now."
heading towards the house.

Jack smiled and ran a hand through her mohawk, readying the gun again.

Posting as: GOD!!! One zombie shuffled out of the house, it appeared to have once been an older, heavier-set woman. She moaned and shambled towards Jack and Erik. Behind her came another zombie. This one appeared to have been perhaps a 7 year-old child.

erik held the knife up with one hand, holding his new cross with the other.
"wish i had a gun..."
watching the zombies.

Jack smiled. "Sorry, it's the only weapon I got..." She leveled the gun, taking a shot at the bigger zombie.


Posting as: GOD!!! The shot slammed into the zombie's shoulder, tearing out a decent chunk of flesh, but only succeeded in slowing it down a little.

erik nodded, pulling out his pellet gun and leveling it.
"it may not do much... but it's at least practice..."
shooting and aiming for the big one's head.

Posting as: GOD!!! The pellet whipped through the zombie's hair, but had no real affect.

Posting as: Jack...... Jack leveled the gun and took aim carefully, shooting for the head of the bigger zombie.

Posting as: GOD!!! The bullet blew off the top of the zombie's skull, dropping it to the ground, but it was still alive, trying unsucessfully(at the moment) to get back up.

erik moved a bit closer and shot at the bigger zombie's head more, trying to see if a pellet could actually puncture the skull.

Posting as: GOD!!! the pellet slammed into the exposed brain of the zombie, and it fell the rest of the way to the ground, not moving.

Posting as: Jack...... Jack cheered and took aim at the small zombie.

erik sighed and aimed at the child, shooting for the head.
"damn zombies..."
shooting twice, anticipating a miss.

Posting as: GOD!!! Jack's bullet took off the side of the zombie's face, and most of it's jaw, Erik's pellets bouncing harmlessly off the skin of the zombie.


Posting as: Jack..... Jack furrowed her brow in fustration, taking careful aim, remembering how her boyfriend had thought her at the shooting range.

Posting as: GOD!!! This time Jack's aim was true, hitting the zombie directly in the forehead, dropping it, unmoving, to the ground.

erik sighed and put the pellet gun away, walking for the house.
"well, now that that's done, after you princess."
nodding to the house.
"maybe they have a gun..."
half whispering to himself.

Jack rolled her eyes, walking up the steps into the house. She looked around careful, then stepped through the door. Fredrick jumped out of the truck, following at her heels. He sniffed around like crazy, but didn't seem to sense any danger.

erik followed close after, knife in hand, finding it more useful. he began searching the house for useful items or survivors.

Posting as: GOD!!! As they moved through the house, they found little in the way of useful supplies. However, they did notice a good number of items that could be used to barricade the house.

erik looked around, then to jack.
"well, we don't have anywhere else to go... wanna try and make this place ours?"

Jack nodded. "We might as well, we can stay here and think about what to do next." She lit up a cigarette, and started heading upstairs to check it out.

erik nodded and went outside, taking his truck and parking it next to the house.
"there we go... now we got a place to stay for now..."
he went back inside and climbed up the stairs.

Jack began to search the upstairs, periodically taking drags off her cigarette.

Posting as: GOD!!! Jack and Erik found: a half pack of cigarettes, a single good cigar, a handgun and 3 clips(including the one in the gun), plenty of barricading materials, and a small battery powered radio.
