Im not sure how much im going to contribute in the future, at the moment my life's gone down the bog and im just not motivated to do anything any more...

Sorry, i'll post if i have a mood swing.

OOC: Seems the lag had struck again.

OOC: @ Halonachos.

Not trying to be critical here,just bringing up a character point.

I liked your last RP for the most part,with the exception of a few small points.

Tombstone is very aware of the fact that making Keira shoot Tom would probably result in a bad situation and also already thinks Keira is tough as nails.

So he wouldn't argue with Halon that Keira would toughen up by shooting Tom.

Maybe I'm being to critical...I'm not really trying to be.

OOC: I'm truly sorry to hear of your troubles Ghosty,and honestly hope that everything works out for you.

In the meantime ( and I hope you don't think I'm an insensitive jerk for asking) do you have any suggestions concerning your characters?

I only ask because they are quite important to this RP...wow,I do sound like an insensitive jerk.

Tombstone left Halon to sleep and sat manning the Gatling gun.
The biker stared out of the window,keeping a sharp watch for any sign of walking dead.

An hour past,and Tombstones thoughts begin to drift.

He had been quite impressed with the man Tom's actions in operating on Ashton,to be honest,he had been slightly impressed,although infuriated,when the half dying man had pointed the gun at him outside.

The biker shook his head,he really wished the man had not been bitten,in this situation he would be a huge asset,and Halon was right,his dying...even if she didn't pull the trigger..was going to horribly affect Keira.

"What a fething mess" Tombstone thought,there had to be an answer.

The biker then thought of Bonzo,how the feth would that crazy clown react to anyone trying to shoot Tom?
Did he even understand what was going to happen to Tom soon?,and since Keira seemed to be the one who controlled him...well sort of,what the feth would he be capable of doing if Keira went over the edge?

"Sure" Tombstone thought "The old clowns down for now,but I'm betting he's one tough son of a b****,he'll be on his feet soon...and when he is...it would be good to have someone he'll listen to."

"No doubt about it" the biker thought " This whole situation could become a fething gak storm fast".

" What a fething mess" the biker whispered.

Time slowly passed and Tombstone sat watching,tying to sort out the situation they would all soon have to face.

"Funny" he thought " two days ago I'd have just walked own and killed him,anyone who got in my way as well...I guess seeing corpses eating people has a way of ...changing ones perspectives"

At last it was time to wake Halon for his turn at watch.

Halon seemed less than pleased to see the biker.

"Feths sake" Halon said " all night I have to hear your voice...and now the first thing I see is your ugly face"

Tombstone cocked an eyebrow and smiled " Would you like it to be the last thing you see?"

"No...I suppose I wouldn't" smirked Halon.

" You hungry?" Tombstone asked
" Why..you going to bring me breakfast in bed?" said Halon

" I thought I might toss you a pop tart or something." the biker laughed.

" Toss yourself out that window." Halon laughed back.

Tombstone shook his head and left the room.

As the biker stepped into the hallway,he ran into Jennifer.

" I've been looking for you" she said.

" Why,I'm flattered Princess" Tombstone smiled " But..I think I might be spoken for now".

Jennifer stared at the biker " For gods sake...would you fething be serious and .."

" Stop calling you Princess" Tombstone finished for her.

" God Damnit" Jennifer said shaking her head " This isn't funny...do you see me laughing...no!you fething don't..."

Tombstone started to speak,but she cut him off.

" My...friend..is hurt..you helped cut his arm fething off,remember?"she yelled "He might die..we all might...and you..you swaggering,ill mannered,leather covered jackass...you seem to be having a good time...you haven't even bothered to try to find out if my.."

Tombstone cut her off " Your Fathers alive."

Jennifer's mouth closed with a snap.

Tombstone nodded " I checked in with my people last night" the biker continued "Your Father is safe..well,there held up in a house...allot of those things around...but he has a small army of Satan's watching his ass...he'll be ok."

"But.."Jennifer started " shouldn't we go to him?"

" I'm thinking the same thing myself" Thought Tombstone,but he said " Not just yet..the Brothers will protect your old man...but you friend Ashton,he can't travel yet...and I don't believe you want to just leave him."

" No" Jennifer said "I don't" she went on " My Father ..can I speak to him..."

"The computer went out on me last night" Tombstone said " Maybe it's up again...we can check later"

" Why not now?!" Jeniffer said getting irritated.

" Now" Tombstone said "We should check Ashton"...

OOC: Alright Fitzz, I'll look into changing it for story and character development. Just trying to find what his opinion is, oh wait, it was Shadow that wanted Keira to shoot Tom in the head right?

I don't remember atm, I'll check later. Got school now

Anyway, hope things get better for you Ghosty

Just a side note, Shadow wouldn't probably want that, but I can see him bringing it up in conversation as a possibility. Maybe we wait until Tom turns, then get her/someone to shoot him, so that she doesn't feel bad, because it's a zomb and not Tom that'd be getting off'd.

I just wanted to post a bit of observation revolving around the whole RP.

I, personally, was very confused at the characters when I was RP'ing, simply because there were so many of them, and I see others are and were as well.

Most of the confusion seems to be coming from multiple characters for each person. TBH, I wasn't sure who Ashton or Tom was at all.

Maybe something to keep in mind for future RP's.

And funnily enough, I don't find that at all. Maybe it's just me, but I can remember more than four names.

Same for me ^.

Also, shall we just say that Keira went to see Tom? Saves you writing, Ghosty.

Sooo.. unless anyone has any objections, maybe we should start RPing in the morning? Although IMO, we should do that tomorrow, because it gives people time to write during this "night" if they so wish.

Guess who's back

If i understand correctly,
we got another car, then iced patrick, and are now all hiding in the fortress

ashton only has one arm now and jennifer now knows her fathers alive

am I right?

Don't forget the hippy knocked boots with the biker, Bonzo caressed some eggs, and Tom may soon be a zombie. Otherwise you got it.

Caressing eggs is a damn fine pastime!

I was just saying, mate, no need to be a dick. I heard others saying they weren't sure who was who, so I thought I would post since it was the same for myself.

Welcome back Ninja,hope your not too upset that "Ashton" got a bit banged up. at least Jennifer is still Alive and kicking

I now return all of "Jeniffers" RP actions to Ninja.

OOC: Well,Shadow doesn't so much "Want" Keira to shoot Tom in the head,as he (as I RP'd it) thinks if anyone else besides Keira does it,Keira and Bonzo will go balistic ( Or at least that was what I was trying to convey).

Tombstone followed Jennifer into the room in which Ashton was recuperating.

Jennifer walked to the side of the bed and placed her hand on his forehead, "He's warm" she said.

Tombstone nodded "We should get another dose of antibiotics in him."

Ashton opened his eyes,smiling a bit when he saw Jennifer,he spoke in a low, ragged voice " Safe." he coughed " Your..safe...I couldn't let that crazy feth in here...had to look out for you"

"Shh" Jennifer said " I'm fine...and that crazy guy,he's dead...you got him."

Ashton frowned " Looks like he...got me too" The man begin coughing again and Jennifer helped him sip some water.

"Your going to be ok" She said,wiping sweat from Ashtons forehead.

Ashton nodded " I'm ..tired..hot.."

Tombstone spoke " Your gonna be alright"He offered the man a tight grin " I'll get you something for the pain and something to bring that fever down too."

The Biker turned to Jennifer " Stay with him..I'll go get him some medicine and see if Keira wants to come up and check on him"

Tombstone left the room as Jennifer turned back to comfort Ashton.

Downstairs,the biker quickly gathered up a few pain killers,along with some penicillin capsules from one of the backpacks.

Daisy came out of the side room a moment later,she smiled at the biker and walked over to him.

" You were gone when I woke up" she said " But I figured you had gone on watch duty like ya'll had been talking about."

Tombstone nodded " Not much to watch ...nothing out there."

Daisy stared up at him " But...they'll come...sooner or later..they'll come ."

Tombstone nodded again.

"If you don't mind" Daisy said holding up the pistol Tombstone had left in the room " I'd like to hold on to this....just in case"

Tombstone removed his jacket,slipped the empty shoulder holster off and helped to adjust it to fit Daisy,he quickly checked the two spare magazines,insuring they were loaded.

" It's funny" Daisy said " I've never liked guns...or people who carry them" she shrugged and smiled " I guess that's changed"

She moved into Tombstones arms,holding him around the waist and looking up at him.

" I won't lie to you" she said " I'm scared...real scared" a tear ran down her cheek.

Tombstone kissed her and spoke " You'd be crazy if you weren't scared"

" Are you...scared."she asked.

Tombstone shrugged " I honestly don't know"

Daisy nodded " Maybe crazy is the best way to be...all things considerd"

" Maybe" the biker said." Come on..I need to get these pills up to Ashton"

The two headed towards the stairs...

Bonzo woke, he headed towards the stairs, seeing Tombestone there he took the time to make the remark 'GoTTa Be CrAZy tO LiVE In ThIS WorLD!' as he entered the stairwell.

OOC - Is downstairs food?

Great Unclean One wrote:Bonzo woke, he headed towards the stairs, seeing Tombestone there he took the time to make the remark 'GoTTa Be CrAZy tO LiVE In ThIS WorLD!' as he entered the stairwell.

OOC - Is downstairs food?

Bonzo was already downstairs. And there's probably some leftovers from last week til now in the bin..

Tom pulled a cup of tea over to him with difficulty. Sipping it thoughtfully he watched as the first rays of dawn began to creep over the distant trees. Not long now.

Yawning sleepily, he sipped again, whilst he watched the day break. There were no birds any more. The had all flown away. The dead silence of the dawn felt wrong, but it no longer mattered, as he'd be dead in a few hours. Tom glanced down at Keira, who was still asleep at his side. He was going to lose her. No, he was going to lose everything. The very thought stung, and made him feel queasy.

Bonzo staggered in, clutching his stomach and breathing raggedly. The gunshot wounds would heal quickly, but until then, the clown would have difficulty walking.

"Hey Bonzo..." Tom said, shocked by the tortured sound of his own voice.

The clown turned and smiled a crooked grin, all teeth but no humour.

"HeY TheRe, HoW aRe yA dOiNg?" Bonzo giggled between clenched teeth.

Tom maintained his stare for too long. It occurred to him he was staring like something, not someone. He shook his head vigorously, and yawned again.

"Bonzo, I don't want to die. Im scared."

The clown looked awkward, then changed the subject.

"HeY cHecK tHis oUt!" he chirped, before he grabbed a plate off the shelf and began to juggle it.

Tom watched as Bonzo tried to make him feel better. It wasn't working, but he tried to smile anyway.

A new dawn, Tom mused, I was bitten early yesterday, how long have i got now? Three, four hours?

The thought scared him, and he felt sick to the stomach once more.

Tombstone had almost reached the stairs when Daisy spoke.

" Shouldn't we see if Keira wants to come up and check Ashton?" she said.

The biker stopped,shaking his head to himself,hadn't he meant to do that?

"Yea,we should' Tombstone said,changing directions and heading for the kitchen.

As they entered,Tombstone saw that Tom was awake,sipping at a steaming cup...The biker thought that Tom looked considerably worse.
Keira had apparently fallen asleep at the foot of Toms chair.

Bonzo stood nearby them,spinning a plate on the tip of his finger,the clown shot Tombstone and Daisy a wary,defiant look as they entered the Kitchen.

" Careful..Careful ..We must step Carefully." Bonzo said to Tombstone through a clenched smile.

" Relax Buddy" Tombstone said,staring back at the juggling clown " We come in peace"

"Come in peace..leave in pieces" The clown giggled.

Daisy moved closer to Tombstone,her eyes locked on the clown.

Tombstone dismissed Bonzo entirely and grabbed a container of juice from the refrigerator.

The biker sat at the counter,Daisy sitting next to him,he poured some juice in a glass,sipped it and spoke.

" How you feeling Tom" the biker asked.

Tom glanced over the rim of his cup,cocking an eyebrow at Tombstone "Let's by pass the pleasantries..shall we,I'm sure you can tell be the look of me..I'm feeling quite gak."

Tombstone nodded "Fair enough."

Keira had opened her eyes and was staring from Tombstone to Bonzo.

The biker glanced at Keira " If your up to it...would you mind going up to check on Ashton."

Keira looked at the biker,her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Tombstone sighed " I promise you" he said lifting his hand over his heart " I'll be a good boy..I won't touch a hair on Toms head" The biker glanced over at the clown " His either".

Keira nodded,she rose and kissed Tom on the cheek,whispered something to him and turned to Bonzo " Please play nicely.'she said.

Bonzo smilled wide and laughed " Gotta be Nice To LiVe in this Kitchen." he said.

Keira looked puzzled,but nodded " I'll be right back." she said heading for the door.

Tombstone turned to Daisy " Go with her..see if she needs your help."

Daisy rose apprehensively " Are you sure." she asked.

Tombstone nodded "We" he said indicating Tom And himself " need to talk a bit."

The woman nodded and followed Keira out of the kitchen.

" Ok Tom" Tombstone said " I know you have to know what's happening to you...so...what do you suggest we do?"....

Tom shook his head.

"I thought I said we're gonna pass with the pleasantries. Don't stare at me incredulously either, I am in too much pain to fanny about."

Tombstone nodded curtly.

"I, am dying. Keira has been trying to fight the infection with, what i guess is every medicine known to man. As you can see, unless these are the side effects, it's really not working. But im not going to tell her to stop. Now, what you, and no doubt the others are thinking, is how are you going to deal with me when the time comes? Am I right?"

Tombstone nodded.

"Well. Im guessing you have got the conundrum of how to off me. My pal Bonzo here, whom I would readily sell my life to save, isn't the one to do it, as he'd either leave too much of a mess, or he'd not do it. He seems pretty protective. Which leads onto the next question. Who else?"

Tom stopped, and began to choke. His face contorted into a grimace of agony, and he clutched at his heart.

The pain passed.

"That.....that I think is my heart about to give out. I think iv'e got hours at most."

Bonzo had taken a step forward without realising it.

"Listen. I know you think Keira should do it... but i dont think she can. If she did, she wouldn't forgive herself. She already blames me..."

Tom looked off into the distance, and his eyes became suspiciously vacant, and almost glazed.

"Tom, stay in the premises!" growled Tombstone, who proceeded to shake Tom on the shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh, thanks. Yeah, she wont do it. Im not going to leave her emotionally ruined. And, if anyone else does it. Well, I think she might go monkey poo."

Tom smiled. It was unsettling.

"I have an idea. Maybe, maybe I was the one to end it?"

Tombstone shook his head.

"Wouldn't work. What if you turned before you could, and i think that might leave Keira just as traumatised as before."

Tom shut his eyes, and rubbed them with his unchained hand.

"I dunno. I'm scared of dying Bikerman. Im sure your not, and im sure your ready to go down fighting at any moment. Im not, im just some drugged up medicine drop out. I have so little, and so much to lose."

Tombstone looked on sadly. This man was going to die a way no man should.

Bonzo spoke up suddenly, in a surprisingly normal tone.

"Someone once said, when death stares you in the face, all you can do is stare back, and smile."

Tom looked at him.

"Thanks mate. I'll try and remember that when he comes a knocking."

Tombstone sighed.

"We got one or two choices here. Either, you shoot yourself when your still human, or you wait, and get someone to shoot you."

Tom looked up at the biker.

"Do whatever feels necessary. It wont matter."

OOC: how long do you think it will be 'till the random event? cos i have an idea of what would happen

OOC: I'm guessing it won't be long now until we have a random event.

I believe Silver is waiting for the "right moment" to spring it on us.


BIC:

Tombstone rubbed his eyes,stared up at the ceiling and spoke " I want you to know...none of us want to have to ...kill you".

Tom laughed,a small tierd laugh and stared at the biker "Remorse doesn't suite you...given what little I've pieced together about you...I believe you'll pull the trigger on me with no problem when...my time comes"

Tombstone paused,then nodded " I'll do what has to be done...yes,but..."

"You won't enjoy it?" Tom raised an eyebrow " What a pity."

Tombstone paused thinking " He's right...in all the years I've been...doing what I do...this was only the second time he was ...feeling pity."

" Don't second guess yourself bikerboy"Tom said "...I'm sure when I...change..I won't have any aversion to killing you...or...anyone." Toms bottom lip quivered a bit,and Tombstone knew he was thinking about Keira.

"Tom" the biker said " I know it's not much consilation...but...we will all look out for Keira after..."

Tom nodded,yes he understood...no,it wasn't much Consolation.

Bonzo spoke,rather calmly " I will protect her Tommy...I promise you that."

Tom looked up at Bonzo and managed a small smile " I know you will." he lapsed into a fit of retching and coughing.

Tombstone looked over at the clown " I want you to understand...I don't want to hurt Tom"

The clown stared at the biker,he smiled wide and begin to sing an old Rolling Stones song "...You can't always get what you want." Bonzo sang " No...you can't always get what you wannnttt".

Tombstone opened his flask and drank deeply.

Bwahaha!

*plots*

Guys jsut so you know-

Silver, Bwahahaing just makes you seem like an evil genius.

Just so you know i wont be posting till at earliest tomorrow afternoon. Hope that doesn't interject with evil scheming and the like.

As they moved towards the stairs,Keira looked over at Daisy,speaking softly " So..you've...thrown in with the biker..yes?"

Daisy nodded " He makes me feel safe...I'd be dead if he hadn't pulled me in that car...and.."she trailed off

"...And?" Keira prompted the young woman.

" And...oh it sounds stupid...but...I feel like he may need me as much as I need him"Daisy said.

"A symbiotic relationship then." Keira quipped.

Daisy paused halfway up the stairs,staring at Keira " If you want to call it that...I just think...feel..I can be his heart...I feel he hasn't had one for a long time."

" So you'll reform a ...killer" Keira snapped " Daisy..I can't tell you what to do...but that man...he's dangerous."

"I know that" Daisy said and shrugged " But...that's not all he is."

Keira shook her head, but said nothing.

The two women entered Ashtons room,Jennifer was standing along side the bed.

" He's unconscious" Jennifer said " his breathing is so..."

Keira walked quickly to were Ashton lay,placing a hand on his forehead,she winced " He's burning up...we have to get the fever down quickly"

Daisy rushed to the bathroom and returned with some cool wet towels,they placed them on Ashtons forehead and body.

Keira administered antibiotics and pain killers intravenously,and sighed " That's all I can do for now" she said.

Jennifer looked at the woman " will he live?" she asked.

Keira shook her head, " I honestly don't know"

Jennifer turned back to Ashton,saying nothing more to the women.

Daisy and Keira exited the room.

" You look troubled" Keira said to Daisy.

" I was just thinking" Daisy said.

" About that biker?" Keira asked

" No." Daisy shook her head " I was thinking...is it possible...that somehow during the operation...could Tom have somehow infected Ashton?"

Keira froze ..."No" she said " I don't...He took precautions..he..."

Daisy shook her head again " I know he did...but..could it have happened?"....

OOC: I belive we should be able to RP around for a bit until you are able to post again Ghosty,incidentally..I was happy to see you had posted this A.M.

I've also,as anyone can clearly read,interjected the possibility (not confirmed) that poor Ashton may be infected as well...evil perhaps..but I felt it added a little "tension".

@ Silver..yes the Bwahahaing does make you come off like an evil genius...of course..I've always loved evil genius'

BIC:

Tombstone left Tom and Bonzo in the Kitchen,feeling perhaps the two had things they would prefer to discuss with out him being around.

He entered the front room as Keira and Daisy came down the stairs,he noticed the worried look on both of their faces " What is it?" the biker asked

Dasiy started to speak,but Keira cut her off quickly " Ashtons fever is worse,he...he may not make it".

Tombstone hissed through gritted teeth," Feth me" he said "..and if he dies...he'll turn as well..right?"

Keira shook her head," We have no way of knowing that." she said " I don't know if this...condition occurs simply due to a person dying...or if the infection is passed through the bite."

"..Or Blood" Daisy said,Keira cut her a quick glance but said nothing.

" Were going to have to be cautious around Ashton as well then" Tombstone said " Just ...in case"

" I suppose you want to shoot him now as well" Keira snapped " Same as your waiting to shoot my Tom".

" Lady...let's get this clear" the biker said " If I wanted to shoot Tom..I'd have shot him by now..." his eyes narrowed and Keira took a step back

" Fact is." Tombstone continued " I don't want to shoot any one here...but...if they turn...do you see any alternative?...well,do you?" the biker tilted is head at Keira " If you have one...then perhaps you'd share it.."

Keira stared at the biker " I...don't have a fething alternative" she rushed into the bathroom,tears flowing down her face.

"Feth" Tombstone said under his breath.

Daisy put an arm around him " You have to let her make her peace with what...with whats happening to Tom"

" Peace with her man dying?" Tombstone asked.somewhat amazed at Daisys statement.

" If it were you...who had been bitten" Daisy said " Would you want to be walking around...be one of them?"

" No..I'd ...kill myself" The biker said.

" No hun." Daisy said " Don't think of it as killing...think of it as ending pain....if I got bit,,I'd pray for you to...love..care enough to end my pain."

The biker said nothing,but pulled Daisy closer to him.
