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 going to have to tell her. Maggie knew that, knew it like she knew the sun would rise, but that didn't mean she liked it. How did you tell someone that they had been dead and buried for weeks? That they had been mourned by loved ones who were now just trying to continue with their lives?

It wasn't a conversation she was looking forward to having.

"I have no idea," she admitted without hesitation, hooking the backpack over both her shoulders so she could keep her hands free while she moved to follow her sister. "I woke up in this... thing, feeling like I'd just been in a car crash, and I don't remember how I got there." Shaking her head, she frowned and scanned the trees around them. "I haven't seen any of the others here yet, but Daryl's alright, don't worry."

She had to tell her before they found Daryl. She just didn't know where to start.

"It does feel like we just walked away from a car crash," Beth agreed, bringing a hand up to rub at her shoulder. Her whole body was sore, but her busted chin from trying to climb up on the pod she had woken up in was the worst of it.

"But it wasn't. It was some kind of thing out of a sci-fi movie, Maggie. Someone put us in those things, and brought us here."

She stopped walking long enough to turn and give Maggie a serious look. She had been taken by the people at Grady, and didn't like that she had been taken once again and dropped off someplace she didn't know. She was so sick of being weak, of having people think they could control her destiny.

"It's not safe here. Nowhere is, but I get a really bad feeling about being here."
