Test Drive Meme #2

Fire and Ice Days. Four of them, to be exact. Those four days--four days and four nights--have been nothing but rain of varying intensities, but it hasn't stopped. It pours down in heavy torrents, sweeping away the grime and decay of the crumbling city. It floods the banks of the oasis and it drowns all nearby plants. To the point; it's a right pain to anyone hunting for game. Everything has taken refuge to higher grounds. Well, everything except the infected. They seem confused by this phenomenon. It rouses them from their dormant states and pushes them to be more active. If you find yourself out and about in the rain, you may want to bring a decent weapon with you and a friend to watch your back. Or to trip should you find yourself in trouble. What's worse than all that precipitation, you ask? Why would you even ask that? Haven't you seen a single horror movie? Well, since you asked; what's worse than rain is hail. How could that possibly make the situation more dire? You aren't worried about the insurance on your car, so who cares? You're sure full of dangerous questions, aren't you? Hail impacts the ground, the buildings, the cars, and the wall with a mighty raucous. The sound as it hits the pavement is deafeningly louder than the sound it makes when it impacts the waterlogged earth, slowed by the trees blocking its descent. It won't take long at all before the group of survivors holed up in the city will notice a mass of shambling Iraites beginning to congregate against the walls and gates, attracted by the noise. They're toppling over each other and pressing against the boundaries. The gate looks like it might buckle under all that weight like a dam about to burst. You might wanna do something about reinforcing that gate, or maybe even start taking out the horde if you can. There are still hunters and gatherers out in the forest. If they come back to this mess, they'll never make it into the city alive. If that's not enough trouble, you suddenly have another problem. Between the rain and the hail and the infected, a loud crack of lightning hits a tree near one of the crash sites. You can see the smoke all the way from the city and it lights up the edge of the forest. But that's so far away, how could it pose any trouble? You ask, because you obviously have a death wish. Well friend, you may recall a certain crashed shuttle in about that very direction. Such a thing is leaking some rather potent accelerant. Find a way to contain that fire or you won't have to worry about the infected anymore. You won't have to worry about much when the blaze takes out the forest and creeps through the city with a lazy hunger that cannot be sated. [Mod Note: Pick any scenario, mix and match, or combine them all into one chaotic mess of death and mayhem. Feel free to do a crash scenario from the first TDM. Enjoy~]

She was grateful that he didn't seem to pay much mind to the fact she was skittish, because she really didn't want him to feel like he had to take the lead from her. This was her first time being in charge, and she thought she was doing a pretty good job. Except for her torn up hands and the fact she was afraid something was going to come out at them at any given second.

As he pointed, she turned her head to look at where he was gesturing, and slowly nodded. "Just about anything works, long as you can stab them through their brains. That's the key to bringing them down. Going through the head and into the brain." She had learned over the past few years that just about anything could be a weapon, if there was enough force driving it into the head of a walker.

'Cutting off their heads works too, but that's real messy." It was obvious to tell she found it disgusting, by the look on her face.

She did nod over toward the broken window with a smile, signaling him to run on over and grab it if he wanted.

"Kill the brain," he repeated, sounding a little introspective as he walked off. "Really is some Shawn of the Dead shit going on around here."

Murphy kicked at the the debris until he found a decent length of wood. He cracked it a couple times against the wall just to make sure it wouldn't break on the first hit. Not too hard, but hard enough to get a sense of it's strength. He didn't think it would last more than one or two against a skull. But it might buy them some time if they needed it. Satisfied for the moment, he returned to her side, ready to go.
