OOC: All those are real causes of radiation poisoning, and there isn't a cure. I think silver's probably killed the group in the city >.>

Damn Lag!

He's not posted for ages or answered any PM's, therefore got turned into radioactive dust.

Let that be a lesson to the rest of you!

Also, I still can't see the next page of this thread, though I hope this post will clear it.

Hm. If this results in the death of everyone who was in the city, I have to say I will be quite dissapointed. I just got on Dakka and was about to post Shadow returning to/having returned to the house. Then I read your post. :/

Now I'll have to think up a new post, and FYI Ghosty, send Keira into the bunker.. there's quite a bit of medical wotsits in there.



So, what do we do now that we've all been "messing around" for too long? Wait for Silver to declare our characters dead?

Your characters will not die from this (unless you really want to not get medical attention in the near future ). I have an interesting thought on what will be happening on the near future, and wanted to get a move on with progressing the whole story as things seem to have stalled somewhat.

Also, the group has not really faced all that much danger recently and I wanted to step things up a bit, but sorry for messing up your planned RP.

And remember, I said "quite serious" not "lethal"

Quite serious could potentially be lethal.

'nuff said.

**OOC, well... so much for me working my way toward everyone and gathering them up. Kinda throws a wrench into things cause I can't just ignore it. **



**Story to follow in this space soon. Have to think and re-write my entry. ***

Ah, good. Someone else for my radiation-high character to plot against and eventually eat.


Jk. Really. -shifty eyes-

Nah, I'll post tomorrow. No kidding this time cause

Tsk Tsk, the bunker wont hold a miracle cure to radiation poisoning. Cos there isn't one. And before you say there is, it cant be done. Kay?

Good fer you, boss.

Ghosty, I realize there's no cure. Just pump me fulla the magic glowy stuff and see what happens.

Nah, but I think it's safe to say that the involved characters will be out of action for a couple of days, giving Silver plenty of time to swamp us with zombs. Joy to the world then, everybody.

But you can help reduce the damage.......

You wouldn't. -loads shotgun weakly-

In all seriousness, while I see how it would make sense, I would've thought she'd have understood the reasoning behind it by now (although I've mostly forgotten what happened now anyway..) and dropped it. And if she does kill Shadow, you know she'll be next, right?


Besides, I wouldn't appreciate it - I'm enjoying this RP very much, and I'd like to stay part of it. After all, who's the one supplying the food, ammo, shelter and giant guns? Hmm?

Not you. your busy stuck in a city with your skin half flayed off and with your hair falling out in clumps.

ghosty wrote:Not you. your busy stuck in a city with your skin half flayed off and with your hair falling out in clumps.

Hmm..Perhaps since Shadow was inside a police riot vehicle when the blast took place he was spared the worst of the radiation...

Then again ,perhaps it was similar to being inside a microwave oven....

Hehehe, evvvilll thoughts.

OOC: I do however believe it is entirely believable that Shadow would have a supply of "Rad Block" and other Radioactivity "Countermeasures" stored in the bunker.

Considering he has obviously been preparing for some sort of " Civil breakdown" for some considerable time,I feel this is a precaution he would take.

Tombstone cursed himself as he watched the mushroom cloud in the distance.

He had gambled that the military wouldn't use nukes on American soil...he had been wrong.

" What fething moron decided this was a good tactic." the biker thought " Nuke the cities?...if the zombies don't kill you.. the blast...or the radiation will."

"Feth,there wont be a country left to save." Tombstone thought " ..Gak headed politicians...tucked safely away...this was their fething solution...idiots."

From behind him he heard Daisy crying " We're going to die..." the young woman sobbed.

Tombstone turned to her " No we're not.." he thought of all the conversations he had had with One Eye,who had been a Marine for ten years and had made "Survival" a hobby of his after his discharge.

" The wind is blowing away from us..towards the city,that will help us from getting a real bad dose of radiation" the biker continued " also...and this I'm not sure of ,I'm only speculating that some of the idiots that decided nuking the city was a good idea,would perhaps have sense enough to use low yield warheads...so as not to kill everyone nearby...but again...that's only my speculation."

" So what can we fething do?" Daisy asked tearfully.

" I'd say the first thing we do is check Shadows bunker,the guy obviously built it and supplied it for a major gak storm." Tombstone said " I'm betting he has meds to help with the effects of radiation poisoning down there...medication that will help us allot."


Jennifer spoke,barely containing her anger " Then what Mr. know it all biker?" the woman spat " Are you ready to get the feth out of here now?...or would you like to sit around waiting for the military to make another bombing run and finish us off?!!"

Tombstone glared at her,for a moment he wanted nothing more than to haul out his pistols and shoot the woman in her face...but,she was right...he had chosen to stay..he had fethed up.

" We are going into the bunker...finding anything Shadow has stored down there that we need...and then we're getting the feth as far away from the city as we can." The biker said.

" What about the others?" Daisy asked.

Tombstone gestured out the window towards the dissipating Mushroom cloud.

It was all the answer any of them needed...

K couldn't answer the Doctors question, he had been transfixed by blast. The Doctor knew this, he also knew that K was not fully healed from his surgery, he was physically as good as he was going to get, but his immune system had some difficulties recoperating, and K hadn't been taking it easy, who would in a Zombie Apocolypse?

He concluded that K would not survive radiation poisoning even for a moment.

The Doctor tore a locket from his neck and frust it into K's hand. He then tore the bandages off his arm, and pulled several needles from his lab coat pocket.

The Doctor had been working on a cure for the virus, and had only managed a temporary solution, with serious side effects. The vaccine slowed the virus down, allowing it to grow in different ways.

In short, mutation.

The Doctor thrust needle after needle into his arm, hoping that it wouldn't overlad his system, allowing him to control the mutation long enough to be able to protect K from as much radiation as he could. With each injection, he could hear a voice.

"Lead, lead, lead, lead, lead. In life you sought to help people, from the pain you lived with everyday... In death?"

He stopped, he had three left, and gave them to Halon.

The Doctor stared at his arm, the wave quickly approching, nothing was happening. He needed a new plan. He litterally threw K into the back of the ambulance and slammed it closed.

The Doctor then began to wonder what radiation would do to the chemical cocktail that was now his DNA, as he was showered with radiation.

Jennifer sat on a chair, at the front window of the "tower". There's a zombie apocalypse - and he won't leave. There's a nuke exploding six miles away - he won't leave. What will it take, a bloody divine intervention? she thought.
She looked out of the window, towards the city. She saw lights heading towards the fortress at an alarming rate. And she'd only ever seen lights fixed to a vehicle in that pattern on one vehicle..

She ran down the stairs, and into the back room, where Tombstone was standing about angrily. Looking at each other, Tombstone and Jennifer both said "what?" at the same time.
Tombstone decided to speak first, "Shadow's taken the bloody key for the trapdoor."
"Oh, that's OK then, cause he's just pulling up outside" Jennifer replied.
"You what?" Tombstone said, as he ran out of the room - he would of hit Jennifer if she hadn't moved - and he headed for the front door, and he practically wrenched it open.

--

Tombstone rushed out, but something grabbed his leg and he fell. He spun on his back, unholstering a pistol as he did, and saw a zombie with no legs and one arm gripping him. Bang.
"One shot--" he began, but someone finished the sentence for him from behind, "--one kill.."
"Shadow! Man you alright? We thought you'd been toasted" Tombstone asked, as he ran over to the armoured vehicle.
The ex-commando coughed heavily, but opened the drivers' door, and practically fell out into Tombstone's arms.
"gak."
Tombstone dragged Shadow inside and upstairs, and put him on the bed in the "tower". Tombstone turned to leave, but Shadow weakly grabbed his arm.
"Tomb..you..can't let Keira..near me alone.."
"Why? She's the only one that can save you."
"I dunno.. I just got a bad feeling, k?"
"I won't let anyone hurt you man - getting a man when he's down an' all that. And speaking of 'k', where're Kevin and Halon?"
Shadow just sighed heavily. "Don't you have some zombies to watch out for or something?"
Tombstone began to search Shadow's pockets, until he found a set of keys - he removed the one for the bunker trapdoor, and headed downstairs to where the others were waiting. "I've got the key, and Shadow's upstairs - Daisy, could you go up and just make sure he's alright? In his state, I think we need to watch him carefully."
Daisy nodded, and headed for the tower.
Tombstone knelt down and placed the key into the lock, and turned it slowly. There was a click, and he lifted up the trapdoor, and began to climb down.

In the bunker below,Tombstone found a large metal box with a biohazard/radiation symbol stenciled across it.
In side he found what he was hoping for,several bottles of "Rad Block",capsules that would help prevent the degenerative effects of radiation poisoning,along with pills to prevent certain side effects of radiation exposure...while none of these were a cure...they would most definitely help them through the worst of it.

The biker also found bottles of coagulant as well as several containers of something called "Bio wash",a sort of lotion that apparently helped block radioactive particles.

He also,after some searching, located a Geiger counter,he hesitantly switched it on,the machines indication needle swung wildly for a moment,then came to rest...if he was reading this right he had taken a dose of radiation...but not a bad one,he'd be ill for a bit...but,as always,would survive.

Tombstone stripped of all his clothing,he quickly bathed using some containers of water,and began to generously lather himself with the Bio Wash.

From behind him he heard a noise,he turned to see Jennifer and Keira staring at him.

" Strip." Tombstone said.

" Excuse me." Jennifer replied raising an eyebrow.

" No time for modesty princess" The biker said " Strip and wash up...it'll help prevent the radiation sickness...or at least help us from absorbing any more."

Keira nodded " It's a hazmat wash,a rad guard..right...like they use at nuclear power plants?"

Tombstone nodded.

Keira shed her clothing,not caring about modesty at the moment and quickly doused herself in the liquid.

Jennifer,covered herself with her arms,looking at Tombstone.

The biker laughed " Princess...believe me,you ain't got nothing I haven't seen."

The woman quickly undressed,and poured the Bio wash all over,keeping her back turned to the biker.

Tombstone had found some towel and tossed one each to the two women, " Don't put your old clothing back on...there probably contaminated."

"If you think I'm going to walk around naked so you can stare at my ass your insane." Jennifer said.

Tombstone shook his head, " No princess...Shadow has a ton of BDUs and such,I'm sure something will fit you." he pointed at the lockers against the far wall.

Jennifer and Keira wrapped their towels around themselves and went to get a change of clothing.

Tombstone proceeded to wipe his leather jacket down with Bio-wash,he wasn't giving up his colors.

When the three had dressed they each took some of the "Rad Block",Tombstone gathered up the supplies and rushed upstairs.

He had Daisy wash and change and gave her some meds as well. " Your going to be fine" the biker said to her.

He then did his best,with help from Daisy to take care of Shadow.

After Shadow had been cleaned up,Tombstone waved the Geiger counter over him,he had taken a much worse dose of radiation,he was going to be very sick....but Tombstone thought he'd pull through.

Shadow slowly spoke to the group,telling them what had occurred in the city,he sat up slightly " Vikky is still in the Battle bus...someone needs to go get her out."

" What about Halon,Bonzo...the kid K?" Daisy asked.

Shadow shrugged weakly.

Keira glared at the man " You fething left them."

" I couln't get to them..." Shadow started.

But Keira had already stormed from the room.

" I'm going to go get Vikky" Tombstone said " And...check on Keira as well...Princess..you and Daisy stay with Shadow."

"We need to leave" Jennifer said.

" We will be soon." The biker said exiting the room...

Keira walked quickly into the kitchen,anger boiling up inside of her," That bastard" she thought,she picked up a drinking glass and hurled it across the room into a wall,the glass shattered like a bomb.

" He left them" she whispered " he left Bonzo...he left that kid." she lowered her head,fighting back tears.

" Keira" a voice spoke from behind her,it was the biker,Tombstone.

" Go away." She said " Leave me the feth alone."

Tombstone knew how volatile Keira could become,he didn't get any closer,but spoke again.

" The girl..Vikky...I'm going to get her inside, I don't know how bad she is" the biker said " Maybe you could take a look at her...when you feel up to it."

Keira said nothing for a long moment,then she nodded " Ok."

Moments later Tombstone was outside,a few scattered zombies shamble towards him,he drew his pistols.

A ghoul in a high school cheerleader uniform staggered forward,raising her arms and moaning.

The biker thought briefly,in life this girl had probably been the high school babe,sought after by all the young men,popular,beautiful...alive, now...her face contorted and mangled,an eye dangling from a ruined socket,her throat torn out,dried blood covering her brightly colored uniform...she was simply ..one of them.

He aimed his pistol at her head and squeezed the trigger,the back of her head exploded outwards showering brain across the door yard.

The biker approached the battle bus,dispatching ghouls as he walked,he reached the vehicle and opened the rear door.

Vikky lay there unconscious,her breathing heavy,but seemingly ok.

Tombstone quickly lifted her over his shoulder and carried her back into the house,inside,he laid her gently down on one of the couches.

In the light of the front room,the biker examined the girl,no bites,but her color was very pale,and a small trickle of blood was running from her nose.

"Feth" Tombstone muttered.

On the couch,the girl coughed,blood dribbled down her chin...

OOC: I can't really RP anything at the minute.. but if it comes down to Keira having a go, then someone just RP Shadow replying, "I had no idea where they'd gone by then - for all I know they could've died long ago. Believe me, I didn't wanna leave any of them.. but with more ghouls than I had bullets heading my way, and the mushroom goin' up, you think I had a choice?"

Keira entered the front room and leaned over the prone figure of Vikky.

" Get me some water and towels." she said to Tombstone " And get me some of the Bio-wash as well."

Tombstone went to get the things Keira asked for.

Keira gently examined Vikky,prodding her abdomen with her fingers.

A thin trickle of blood ran from the girls mouth.

Keira was no expert concerning radiation poisoning,but she knew the signs of internal bleeding,the girl was in trouble.

Tombstone returned with the Bio-wash and water,and helped Keira clean the girl up.

" We need to attempt to halt the bleeding" Keira said " The coagulant you found may help" she paused " Was there any types of IV,saline or such down in Shadows play room?"

" I'll look" Tombstone said.

" No..I will." Keira shook her head walking past the biker " I know what I'm looking for."

A moment later,in the bunker,Keira had located what she was looking for,several IV "drip bags",some labeled indicating they were meant for radiation treatment.

" This fether certainly believe in being prepared" Keira whispered.

She returned to the front room and quickly set up an IV pole,sliding a needle into the girls vein,she administered the contents of the radiation treatment bag slowly.

" I hope I did that correctly" Keira said " I believe I did...but we'll have to monitor her." she looked at Tombstone " She's in a bad way...I don't know if she's going to pull through."

The biker nodded " We should give Shadow some of that too" he indicated the rad treatment " He's not as bad off as she is...but he's still pretty sick."

Keiras eyes narrowed " Feth him." she spat " He left everyone back in the city..."

Tombstone stared at Keira " I'm sure he didn't have a choice." The biker lit a cigarette " He would have never left Halon unless there was no way to get him out...and he wouldn't have left the kid either..or Bonzo."

" You keep believing that if you want." Keira said " But I don't...I'll treat him,because I'm a fething nurse..and it's ...what I took an oath to do,but if he dies...I won't care."

Tombstone nodded " Fair enough...but,do what you have to do to help him."

Keira snatched up the Iv bags and headed upstairs,Tombstone close behind her.

As the two topped the stairs they were met by Daisy, she looked concerned.

" Shadows unconscious". she said " He seemed delirious before he passed out."

" What a fething shame" Keira said pushing past the young woman and into the room.

" What's her fething problem?" Daisy asked Tombstone.

" Anger issues" the biker said "C'mon",he and Daisy entered the room.

Keira sat up the IV and pushed the needle into Shadow arm,he flinched in his sleep,moaning slightly.

" That's all I can do for him" Keira said " we'll just have to wait and see."

" And just how long will we be waiting?" Jennifer said,a hint of disgust entering her voice.

Keira shrugged " a few hours at best until we see any sort of improvement...maybe longer."

"Fething fabulous" Jennifer said " In the mean time maybe the military will come back through and finish us...or perhaps more of those fething things will show up."

Tombstone spoke " Princess...in the mean time..we're going to get the battle bus de-contaminated and loaded up with more supplies...as much gak as it can carry..then were getting on the road."

Jennifer looked at the biker " then let's do it...the sooner we leave the better off I'll feel."

" Princess" Tombstone spoke " I hope you really understand ..getting to your Father isn't going to make the big bad zombies go away."

Jennifer paused for a moment,she seemed slightly saddened, " No..of course it won't...but at least I can die with him..if it comes to that."

Keira looked at the biker " What about Halon,Bonzo and the kid?"

" I hope they're still alive" Tombstone said " If they are..they'll try to make it here."

" And if they're hurt? or trapped in the city?" Keira said.

" Then god help them." Jennifer said exiting the room.

" They'll show up" Tombstone said "Halon knows how to handle himself..he'll watch out for the others."

Keira shook her head, " And if they are hurt?...dying?"

" Then what can we do?" the biker said " Get ourselves killed going on a rescue mission?...Keira..if they are dead..then they are...we can't do gak about it...and getting ourselves killed won't bring them back."

" So we do nothing?" Keira said.

" We get our gak together here...and hope they show up." the biker said " That's all we can do."

" No...that's all you will do." Keira pushed past Tombstone into the hallway.

Tombstone followed her quickly,grabbing her arm and turning her to face him.

Keira struggled, but the biker pinned her to the wall " Let me fething tell you something" the biker roared " this holier than thou act your pulling is a load of gak!"

Keira kicked out at Tombstone who held her tighter to the wall,his nose a mere inch from hers " I like Halon...the kid too,I don't care much for your clown friend..but I don't want him dead...if I did..believe me..he would have died in that front yard." the biker spat " Now..the way I see it is ..they are alive and headed here...or..they are fething dead...if they're trapped...they're dead...because the fething radiation is going to kill them if the fething zombies don't!!"

He released Keira who stood glaring at him.

" We need you" Tombstone said " But...I can't tell you what to do...if you want to go die looking for them...then go."

" Bastard" Keira spat.

" I didn't create this situation Keira" Tombstone said " I'm just trying to deal with it."

From downstairs a burst of weapons fire reached their ears...

" Feth me" Tombstone said drawing his weapons and running down the stairs.

Keira leaned against the wall,a single tear slipped down her cheek,the fething biker was right,there was nothing she could do to help those in the city..to even try would meen her death,she could only pray that they would find their way back here...soon.

Another shot echoed trhough the house,Keira ran down the stairs to see what was going on...

As Keira made it to the front room she was greeted by the sight of several ghouls advancing on the others.

" How the feth did they get inside." Keira yelled.

" The Princess went to check out the battle bus." Tombstone shouted back ,shooting a zombie through the head, " They all came at her at once and pushed the door open before she could lock it."

Jennifer drove her katana through the head of a ghoul, "It wasn't my fething fault!" she protested " They came from every where"

Daisy was standing calmly near Tombstone,her pistols raised,she slowly and methodically fired round after round into the heads of the oncoming zombies.

Keira frowned a bit,seems the hippie slut was beginning to enjoy being a killer as well,her and the biker made a perfect couple.

As she was having these thoughts, a zombie loomed up from behind her...it's drooling maw open,ready to feed.

" Get down!" Daisy shouted at Keira.

Keira felt the ghouls stinking breath on her shoulder,she dropped and dove forward,at the same instant Daisy squeezed the trigger of one of her pistols.

The ghouls head exploded.

Keira leapt to her feet,staring at the destroyed zombie,then at Daisy,who only shrugged and went back to firing into the skulls of the ghouls nearest her and Tombstone.

Jennifer whirled with her sword,it looked almost to Keira as if the woman were dancing,she quickly beheaded two of the walking dead in a graceful fluid motion.

Keira raised her .12 gauge to fire at an approaching ghoul,but Jennifer fired her pistol from across the room blowing a fist sized hole through the zombies skull.

Tombstones pistols clicked as a slobbering zombie closed in,the biker quickly spun,round house kicking the walking corpse in the face,the impact from the blow knocking the ghouls jaw almost completely off,the biker lept back,produced his switchblade and with startling accuracy threw it into the zombies skull,the long blade buried itself deep into the infected brains and the zombie toppled over.

The last zombie,who had been a young girl of perhaps 12 in life shambled towards Daisy,the young woman lowered her weapon for a brief moment,staring at the child ghoul,Daisy shook her head sadly,raised her pistols and fired two rounds through the zombie girls head.

Keira slumped into a chair,the front room now looked like a slaughterhouse,the bodies of over a dozen zombies lay around the floor,blood and brain matter was every place.

She looked up at the figures of Tombstone,Jennifer and Daisy,who were reloading and cleaning their weapons...

" These are the real killers" Keira thought " The zombies...they were just people who died from an infection and came back as those things...but people like these three...they were the real killers...they enjoyed it."

She covered her eyes with her hands and tried to force the images of the front room away.

I'm just doing my bit to keep the story going,plus,once I get an idea going about "What's next",I feel compelled to write it down.

I just hope no one gets upset about anything I may have there characters doing. .
