You consider going to watch Avatar 3D all by yourself, but you've already seen it, and you doubt anyone would be there to work the projector...
You are now in front of the movie theater.
Where do you go, what do you do?
So we going in to try find some portable food n water correct?
Well its helped in the short run.Quote:

I recommend we tap on the door, then if we hear no noises whatsoever inside, we open the door slightly and peek inside with our flashlight.
If there is nothing, we should enter and proceed with caution to the concession stand and take various candy bags/boxes, and any overpriced bottled water we see. We should also grab any bottled sodas that we can comfortably carry.
If there is popcorn, let's grab some.
Go inside, wary of shambling zombies nerds that love blue girls, and see if we can grab some junky food and drinks (like ATPG said above), to get us going. If we see the living dead, play whack-a-mole with the heads and our sword.
I should have mentioned the doors are glass, the whole atrium of the theater is visible from your current location outside, no matter.Quote:

A stillness hangs in the air, which is odd for a place which was once so full of life. You begin to inch your way towards the snack counter.
You walk past the ticket collection booth, making sure to look behind it before progressing.
On your left there are several arcade games, none of them on, you don't have any quarters anyway. You think you hear something from one of the wings of the theaters, so you make a rush for the concession stand between the wings, you make a dive over the counter and hit the floor. In front of you there is a myriad of candies and other fattening food items, many of them are indeed overpriced, the most notable being a deal which offers popcorn and a medium drink for $20. You think to yourself that there is one redeeming quality of the situation.
You hear a groan, and see someone shamble by, watching them through the see-through candy display case, he doesn't seem to notice you, and he walks right out the front door of the theater.
You set to work placing several bottles of water in your messenger bag, 4 in total, and you sip from a 5th one while you do your work.
You jam your flathead screwdriver into the locking mechanism for the candy display, and manage to break it open relatively quietly. You throw some assorted candies into your bag, enough to fill it up with the water and bandanas.

You slide over to the food section, and look over your choices. They have nachos, hotdogs, and popcorn in small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes. The sodas are not bottled, they are from a fountain, there are cups in small, medium and large sizes.
Which will you take?
Is the food spoiled, or is it tasty looking?
Assume that the food is good, it doesn't really matter. Spoiled food will still count as food, just at a lower value, and with a risk of stomach problems.Quote:

Eat a hotdog and take a jumbo popcorn sized box of nachos, presuming they are hot (dont take food that smells off etc) leave the soda and exit the theatre, moving towards our house, avoiding the guy that just walked outside
Are there any sealable containers to carry the food in? Stuffing loose nachos and hotdogs in our bag will likely make a mess.

As you go to jump over the counter, a chorus of moans emanates from the theater, you duck back behind the counter as people shuffle out of the theaters, and into the lobby. Some of them group on clusters around the arcade games, others in groups as they walk out. Some approach the counter, but you keep your cool, and don't attack. The minutes that they are there feel like a lifetime, but eventually all of them depart, and walk out the door.
In all you estimate 50... things... just walked past you, you follow their trail out of the theater with your eyes, they leave the theater and head to the left upon exiting, you sigh a small breath of relief, that is not the way you will be going to get home. You check once more that the coast is clear, and hop out, you walk towards the doors, popcorn tub in one hand, water bottle in the other. You finish the bottle for an extra 2 points, and step out of the theater.
You walk out of the parking lot, and past a broken down hotdog truck. There are no tires and it appears to be in poor condition, but there appears to be something next to it....
You step around the truck and see, a bike!
You check the tires, and they have air, and you check the chain, and that works. The bike seems like it'll hold your weight as well, you get on it and test it's durability, and it seems to hold for now. What luck!
Your new transportation is a welcome gift on the road to getting home.
The bike has been added to your "Items" list in your inventory!
The popcorn tub full o' nachos - 10 points has been added to your "Items" list in your inventory!
You sit now on your bike, facing the road home, if it wasn't for this curve you'd likely be able to see what lies beyond it.
What do you do, where do you go?
Man that write up almost sounds like they are normal people... Not zombies...
Ride towards our house, avoiding anyone else that does not speak out loud in comprehensible english by at least 5 feet.
This is the part where the host reveals there are no zombies, there's never been any zombies, and we've been running from some turtles that escaped from a zoo.
Aha! I get it now!
The islanders aren't really zombies, they've just degraded into a zombie-like state as a result of living with fist-pumping, muscle-toner-consuming, booth-tanning, jagerbomb-drinking guidos!
:laugh4:
You begin riding down the street, towards your house, the ride is uneventful, you see cars scattered around, and you ride past an auto dealership, but these are nothing out of the ordinary.Quote:

To your front right is a Mobil gas station. Just past it is a "Checkers" restaurant, and behind that is a shopping center is Sleepy's, the mattress superstore, and a Family Dollar, dollar store (Note: A store where items cost $1 or less)
To your back right is nothing.
South avenue is perpendicular to forest, and taking it to your right will lead to the mall, and some other large stores.
If you go to the right, it will lead you to the actual harbor part of mariners harbor.
Ahead of you, still a while away, is your house, behind you is where you came from.

Where do you go, what do you do?
Go into the house, search for pictures of family and self. Compare self in photos to current self, attempt to find differences to explain the feeling that something is wrong. Count fingers and toes etc.
Your house isn't directly in front of you.... it's down the street still quite a while, sorry for the ambiguity...
I more meant in the forward general direction...
Keep riding towards the house, keeping watch for anything dangerous or interesting.
I concur.
I thought a gas station would be interesting :laugh4:Quote:

Continue riding towards house?
aka, a place to get diseal from.
YES CONTINUE RIDING YOU :daisy: NARRATOR
We want to get to the house. Time to drive later.
Plus, all this riding will give +1 to our riding skill.
Check in the comic book store, both for information about zombies, and to see if the latest issue of Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is out.

You're almost home now, you pass the CVS, and hang a left, just across the street from the Western Beef supermarket.
You turn off of Forest Avenue onto Maple Parkway, your house is halfway down this street.
All along the street are houses, and it's a two way street separated in the middle by a small island, with plants on it.
You recognize your house immediately, though the numbers are no longer on it, it's bright seafoam green exterior draws the eye quite nicely.
You sigh, hanging a quick u-turn which places you on the proper side of the street, there's somehting vaguely depressing about seeing your house in this form.
The gates which once lead to the backyard are ripped from their hinges, the gates which once led to the schoolyard next door are falling down, the american flag, which once proudly waved from your front door, now barely flutters, half of its stripes missing.
You lie the bike on the steps and move the broken screen door out of the way, you reach for your key as a force of habit, but when you realize it's not there, you simply open the door with no effort.
From the doorway, you can see through your landlord's apartment, he was one of the first people you knew to turn, his stuff has been looted since then, and his house is very bare. You close his doors and begin up the steps to your house.
You jiggle the door handle, and it opens, you step through the threshold and are immediately greeted by memories. Though your house is small, much has taken place here.
The layout of the house is such.
From your entrance, you are facing the bathroom, there's obvious things in there.
To the right of the bathroom door is a large hall closet, it contains some medicines and odd toiletries that don't fit in the medicine cabnet, as well as a laundry hamper and some clothing.
To your left directly is the kitchen, in it is the pantry where you kept canned foods.
To your right directly is your mother's room, there's nothing really of interest in there, besides jewlery and clothing.
To your rear and left is the living room, a fish tank, television, and some lamps are in there, as well as pictures.
To the rear and right is your room, your stuff is inside, or whatever's left of it. Your door is closed.
One hallway connects all these doors.
Which room would you like to go to, what would you like to do there?
To start with, go into the Living room and compare self to pictures, try to determine why we feel 'wrong' whenever we look at ourselves.
Carry the pictures with you to the Bathroom. Go naked to examine your body for anything strange and unusual.

My theory is that we feel off because we are in fact, a zombie. :yes: :laugh4:
