But of course!
I'm gonna try to finish the original story and branch off in a few entries. I like how I originally started it. (Gives them a decent backstory and sets up some good enemies.) It'll probably take 'till about page ten before everyone starts meeting each other and zombies start comin' out the woodwork... so... I'm calling upon my Godspawning abilities to make zombies! I will post those seperately from my Tony and Rose entries. It gave people a good challenge last round. I hope it'll work, here.
Tony and Rose Entry
Tony and Rose were both hurt badly. They trudged through the desolate streets tired and weak. Rose mentioned she had a headache and started feeling dizzy. Tony was beginning to feel the same. The thought of the monster from before brought him to his senses.
Gotta get off the street....
"A drugstore!" Rose exclaimed exicitedly only to cause a severe sharp pain in the back of her skull.
"Take it easy." Tony guided her to the drugstore. It was in shambles. Bullet holes littered the landscape. Medicine lay scattered across the floor. Tony bent down looking for asparin when he heard the clicking of a gun. Tony continued on to the counter. Behind it a man and a woman in black ops uniforms and customized handguns sat, jaded, behind the counter. The woman looked up.
"You guys been bitten?" Her voice was inconsequential however. The sound of a man's cries in the medicine room behind him caught his attention.
"What the hell are two doing-?" Tony walked to the door.
"Don't open the door!" Tony entered as she said it. A man sat on his knees slowly going insane. He was deathly pale. In a white suit. It was obvious he was a pharmacist. Tony approached him warily.
"You alright...?" The man stopped screaming and didn't even turn to face him.
"You shouldn't have come...."
"What?"
"I'm in the final stages of the transformation."
"Transformation?"
"Some become monsters, most become 'zombies."
"That's what all this cannibalism is about?"
"A bite... a scratch... any penetration of the skin at all... it will suffice. Whether in minutes or hours, or even days, you will become one of them."
"How do you-"
"Umbrella...."
"Umbrella?"
The man fell silent, stood, turned and opened his eyes- black and empty. The man attacked Tony and tried to bite him. Tony held him off in surprise. Shoved him and shifted into a straight leveling him at the nose. As if nothing had happened, however, he stood. A bullet then tore through his head as the woman stood at the doorway.
"I told you not to open the door." she walked back into the main area turning to her associate. "One-hundred and eighty-six." was all she said. The man looked in his bag of ammunition as if some more would magically appear.
"Who are you two?"
"Can't tell you that." The man said.
"**** Craig, they abandoned us." the woman said, "I don't owe them a hair on my head. Goddamn assholes...." The woman turned to Rose handing her an asparin. "Name's Rona. We used to work for Umbrella. They sent us to clean house of these freaks."
"We called for back-up when we were overrun in center city. What we got-"
"What we got is left for dead."
"If you're looking for a safe place to go, I hear the S.T.A.R.S station is still in one piece -if you can make it there."
"You're not coming?"
"We don't need extra baggage." Rona replied.
"Likewise, we have our own escape plan. Heard the power plant is overrun. It's only a matter of time before all electricity to city is cut off."
"Before we go. Do you guys know what he was talking about?"
"We're just a couple of hired guns sent for clean-up. They don't tell us what they do. Not like you can trust him anyway. You saw him, he was cracked."
Tony nodded rationally, but unsettlingly.
"The S.T.A.R.S. station is twenty blocks west of here. Try to avoid areas where you can get cornered and don't try to barricade yourself. Your building yourself a tomb." Craig said.
"Ready Craig?"
"Yeah." He handed Rona the bag. Rona tossed Tony a handgun with a laser and a spare clip. Before Tony could even speak to thank her Rona and Craig were already gone.
I miss Trinity and Valentine.
I also miss Hoady.
Maybe they'll come back in couple of months like I did...? That'd be nice.
