Shadow yawned. He had just been dreaming. He'd been back there, with the others.. VFT, Spook, AK, Blade, Vengeance, Bazooka..
"Hah! Bazooka.. good times" Shadow said, grinning for the first time in a longtime..
"gak!"
He leaped out of bed, and almost pushed Daisy and Tombstone down the stairs.
"Feth me, Joe, what's the rush?" Tombstone smirked.
"Come with me" Shadow replied.
The three of them began down the stairs, but Shadow turned.
"No. You're not coming" he said to Daisy.
The girl glanced at Tombstone.
"It's OK, I'll be back in a minute.. maybe you should go and check on Keira?"
"Yeah.. I guess.." Daisy said, before heading back upstairs.
The two men continued onwards.
"So what is it that's so important?" Tombstone asked.
"Well.." Shadow began.


OOC: will continue later/tomorrow depending on what time I have, just posting this to stop any ninja'ing.

The laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!

OOC: Curse the lag and all it's lagginess...wait..is that even a real word?

Of course it is! Just like lagtard, lagisshite and fUlag.

IC:

"Well.. I think it's time I showed you the bunker. I don't trust anyone else enough yet, except perhaps Halon. Plus, there's Bob."
"..Bob?" Tombstone ventured.
"My cat."
"Right."
The two men advanced upon a bookshelf at the back of the lounge.
"Give me a hand with this" Shadow asked, and began to lift the book shelf. Tombstone helped him, and when it had been moved far enough Shadow said "stop."
Stepping back, they gazed upon a door that had atleast half a dozen locks on it.
"Impressive, soldier boy" Tombstone commented.
"It gets better" Shadow grinned.
After a few minutes the commando had unlocked, unbolted and unsealed the door, and opened it.
Shadow walked into the 'secret' room that looked out into the field, giving off a lovely view when it isn't boarded up. Tombstone followed.
"Close the door."
Tombstone turned, and pulled the door shut, and getting the idea, locked a bolt into place. Inside the room, there was some furniture; namely some chairs and a short glass table. There was a painting on the left wall (from the door), and Shadow lifted it up, to reveal the screw in the wall the painting had been attached to. Hanging from the screw on a short chain was a key, obscured when the painting was up. Shadow snatched up the key, and replaced the painting.
"Now what?" Tombstone mumbled.
"Move."
"What?"
"Move!" Shadow commanded, jesturing to the carpet they were standing on. The two men stepped off, and Shadow pulled the carpet back to reveal a metal trapdoor set into the wood. Tombstone watched as his host knelt down and slotted the key into a dusty lock that was attacked to the trap door. There was a click, and Shadow lifted the trapdoor up.

Tombstone had to hand it to him, captain commando took no chances, and his precautions were admirable.


OOC: I'll post the "grand tour" tomorrow. Kinda tyed your character up, FITZZ, which I apologies for if that is at all inconvinient for you.

OOC: No problem with Tombstone being "tied up" Dark,if I get the urge to RP I can always just have Daisy interacting with Keira or another Character.

Im loving the whole Bunker thing BTW.

OOC - Ohmygodit'sabunker!

Anyhow, I'll be posting tomorrow evensong, probably interacting with Tom/other stuff ^^

Daisy walked back up the stairs,a little let down at not being included in Shadows "secret".

" Still" she thought " should we really be keeping things secret around each other...secrets were probably what started this whole fething mess to begin with...government secrets...bio weapons?...who knew for sure."

She had gone with the others to the military base the night before to protest just such a things,to demand that the people be told the truth...all in all, she reflected,that had probably not been the best idea.

She sighed as she fell into a large couch "No point really worrying about all that now" she though." The reality was that...for whatever reason...all this WAS happening...maybe..if people survive..someone will be held accountable...but for now..surviving was what matters."

She laid back in the couch and thumbed the switch on the T.V remote..she was greeted by static,and was immediately reminded of that old movie...Poltergeist.."What was the line..the one the little girl said that was so creepy" Daisy thought " There Here..that was it" The young woman shook her head "yes they certainly were here weren't they".

She flipped the channels,finally finding a station that was on the air.

The newsman was a mess,his clothing torn,blood stained his shirt and he looked as though he had just spent the last few days staring straight into hell.

Daisy supposed that in a way..he had.

She turned up the volume and listened to the report.

" This is Scott Prichard...I'm reporting to you live from inside the mega dome,where we...along with thousands of others have taken shelter."

The camera panned around the sports stadium,showing a sea of scared faces.

"people from all across the city have made their way here,in a desperate attempt to escape from the growing army of"the man paused "Walking dead."

The reporter walked over to a military man,the soldier was speaking to several others and looked slightly annoyed at the news mans intrusion.

"Sir..if I could have a quick word with you"the reporter said shoving the microphone towards the soldier.

The soldier,obviously irritated spoke quickly " I don't have time for an interview..we have a serious situation here in case you didn't notice".

The hews man continued,unfazed by the soldiers statement " Sir..could you perhaps elaborate on the situation..for our viewers at home".

The soldier dropped his head,lifted it and spoke " As it is ..we estimate about ten thousand people have taken shelter here..perhaps more...our resources are critically low..and we do not advise anyone to seek shelter here" The soldier continued " we have just under 400 troops from mixed National Guard and regular army units here,along with about a hundred police officers..were doing our best to protect the citizens who have taken up refuge here."

The reporter continued his questions " Do you have any estimates as to how many of...those things are out there?"

"Son" the soldier said "Why don't you step outside and count them if your so interested."

"But" The reporter continued " Do your superiors have a plan..is there any help coming".

The soldier sighed " We are attempting to organize some sort of retrieval here...but the sheer mass of citizens..along with the many...targets outside,will make matters difficult"

" Then perhaps help is on the way?" the reporter asked,almost pleading

" If I were you son" the soldier said " I'd settle back for a long day."

The reporter attempted to ask another question,but the group of solders walked away.

" And there you have it...a desperate situation unfolding here at the Mega Dome...this is Scott Prichard live..returning you to the newsroom".

The picture froze for a moment and was then replaced by a older man sitting behind a large desk.

" Thank you Scott" the man said "..and good luck to you" the man went on " Reports of similar activities are starting to come in from around the globe...it appears this crisis is spreading...and only time will tell if it can be contained".

Daisy flicked the television off,lowered her head and quietly cried.

Keira stepped into the room,seeing Daisy holding her face in her hands,her body racked with her sobbing.

Keira sat next to Daisy on the couch,the young woman looked up at her,tears spilling down her cheeks.

" What..is it?" Keira asked " was it that..Tombstone..did he..hurt you?"

Daisy shook her head and spoke to the woman " No..I'm crying because..it's what makes us worth saving..as a species..that's going to end up killing us."

Keira blinked at the young woman,not fully understanding " What do you mean hun?"

" I was watching a news report" Daisy said " They were showing a whole load of survivors...all hiding in that big sports stadium downtown."

Keira nodded "The Mega Dome..right"

Daisy shrugged "yes that one...anyway,the camera showed alot of survivors,all huddled together...and..alot of them had been hurt..probably bitten."

Keira shook her head " I don't get you hun...what"

Daisy cut her off " People were trying to take care of the wounded...but...all those wounded are going to change...turn into those things...and all the people that tried to help them...their going to die."

Keira shook her head.

"Don't you see" Daisy said " Their compassion is whats going to get them killed...our compassion,caring for each other as a species...it's going to get everyone killed...yet it's what makes us worth saving."

Keira stared at the young woman,tears now fell from her eyes as she finally understood what Daisy had meant.

" I'm so very sorry about your man Keira" Daisy said crying harder.

Keira hugged the young woman to her,"Shhh hun." she soothed " We are going to get through this..somehow."

Daisy looked at Keira,and whipped her eyes " we will...but at what price?"...


"Perhaps" Keira said " people like ...your man Tombstone..and..that other fellow..Shadow..are better suited for ..the world as it's become".

Daisy nodded ,whipping tears away...

Halon panned the gatling back and forth, keeping his eyes fresh by glancing in different directions. If his eyes got bored, he wouldn't see as clearly and that would be bad as he was the watch.

Halon was humming along to a song he was listening to on an ipod or knock-off ipod or whatever it was. It was filled with some metal and classic rock, so he was satisfied with it.

One ear had a bud in it, the other was clear and open. Nothing was moving around, it was getting incredibly dull and almost upsetting. He had been left all alone in the "tower" and could think clearly about what was going on.

"Well, if he's turned no one's shot him yet and no one's been eaten yet. I would've heard a scream or a gunshot." Halon thought.

"I wonder what they decided to do, nothing too drastic I hope."

Halon's mind began to wander to his past, "TOWER, GET DOWN HERE!" he quoted in his head. "Oh, that's a good thing to look out for perhaps." he thought as he began glancing towards the sky as well. He had remembered a scene from Starship Troopers where the bugs were attacking an outpost and the flying ones attacked by cutting the troopers' heads off.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be fun." Halon thought as he began thinking about resident evil.

"Fething flying birds infected and infecting people." He continued "Great, now I'm getting fething paranoid.".

The wind picked up and Halon thought he had heard something, but upon looking, he found nothing in the area. He looked through a spotting scope and saw nothing.

"Yeah, I'm getting fething paranoid.".

OOC:

I was wondering if anyone else was beginning to put "Movie faces' on to our characters?

I know that as the story grows,I an defiantly "seeing" each Character.

Now,honestly,I have no idea why I've attached each character to the particular "actor/actress" I have,but the following is how I now " in vision' each Character...hope no one is offended.

Tombstone-The Kurgan from the Highlander movie,Clancy Brown.

Daisy-Drew Barrymore...with long dark hair.

Tom-Simon Pegg/Shuan of the Dead

Keira-Dina Meyers/Starship troopers.

Shadow-Michael Blehn/Kyle Reese from the original Terminator film.

Halon-A young Ewan McGregor/Phantom Menace

Ashton-Jason Statham/Crank

Jennifer-Kate Beckinsale/ Underworld

K-Christopher Knight/Peter on the Brady Bunch.

Vikky-Kate Winslet/TiTanic.

Bonzo-- A cross between Violent J from ICP and the Actor who plays the Thing in the Fantastic 4 movies.

Anyone else care to share how they are "seeing" the characters?

interesting, that. Personally, I haven't made any 'connections' like that, I view each character as.. *thinks*... well, I guess you could say I see the whole RP as its own movie with its own characters.

IC:

Shadow reached inside and to the left, feeling his way around the floor/ceiling, depending on your perspective, and he quickly found the switch. He pressed the button, and there was a click, a fizz, and then a low hum as the generator powered up. Mere seconds later, the gloom of the bunker was gone, and Shadow could once again see inside. There was a ladder, and Shadow climbed down it, Tombstone following.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tombstone turned around, and looked around the bunker complex. They were in a large room, but instead of wall, the perimeter of the bunker was pure rock.
Shadow glanced at him. "Better than concrete."
The biker nodded. Looking around some more, he saw there was a long wooden dining table, with six seats at each side and one at each end. The wood looked expensive, like teak or oak or something. Feth, what do I know about wood? Feth, what do I care? Tombstone thought. There was also many cabinets and crates lying around the room, labelled "food", "drink", "plates/cups etc" and other such things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shadow walked into the left room.
"You're gonna love this, biker boy."
An anticipated look crossed Tombstone's face as he entered the room.
"Well feth me, Captain commando."
The room was laden with weapons - knives, daggers, swords, switch-blades, shotguns, machine guns, semi-automatic and automatic guns, AT weapons, mines, razorwire, grenades, G-Ls, another gatling, a chainsaw, sniper rifles amongst others, and even more crates of ammo. Infact, the room was so full, it was almost impossible to traverse.
"This" Shadow said, "is why Patrick had to die."
Tombstone nodded. A rare feeling crossed Tombstone's mind: surprise. "I've got enough ammo to arm the Taliban for months the biker remembered what G.I. Joe had said. No kidding.
Shadow then lead Tombstone to the six bedrooms, each with two beds in them.


OOC: Give us your worst, Silver.

It wasn't often that Tombstone was honestly amazed,his many years as the Satans Servents button man had left him feeling as though he had seen it all in most situations.

In the case of Shadows "bunker" however,the biker was truly awe struck.

Shadow had horded enough canned food,MREs and water down here to last a dozen people for years,there were sleeping quarters,even a room filled with various electronics,including what appeared to be every movie ever made on DVD and lord knew what else.

And the weapons area,Tombstones head spun like a child's on Christmas morning,never.. even in all his years riding with the most dangerous motor cycle club in America, he had never seen so many weapons in one place...Tombstone honestly belived that Shadows comment about supplying the Taliban with weapons and ammo for months was an understatement,he had enough fire power & ammo here to take over a small country,and enough explosives to blow a hole in the world.

The biker felt a shudder thinking what would have happened had one of Patricks grenades detonated down here.

Tombstone let out a long,appreciative whistle," Holy jumping feth brother" he said to Shadow "Were you planning on declaring war on the world?"

Shadow smiled " Nope"he said " I just wanted to be ready in case the world declared war on me."

Tombstone laughed " Well..you sure in hell are." the biker said,running his fingers over a .50 cal machine gun as though it were Daisy's thigh. "In fact..the only thing I don't see here is a fething battle tank."

Shadow laughed " I couldn't get down the stairs...so I took it back."

Tombstone laughed,but honestly wasn't sure if Shadow had been joking or not..

" With your permission" Tombstone asked,indicating the many weapons.

Shadow nodded " Help yourself Bro..there's plenty to go round."

Tombstone unslung his shoulder holsters and quickly found a newer,better set,3 magazine pouches affixed to each... he also picked up two matching Beretta 9mm pistols ,to this he added 8 magazines.

"Those are special opps mags" Shadow smiled " 9mm,20 rounds each"

Tombstone smiled from ear to ear,he replaced his Mossberg shotgun with a Spaz 12 "street sweeper",but opted to keep his HK MP5,adding a few extra magazines for that as well.

He picked up a MP5 SD,a smaller version of his MP5,and grabbed a few magazines & tactical gear for it.

"For Daisy" he said to Shadow with a shrug.

" Why you romantic schemer" Shadow laughed " I'm sure she'll be all a flutter."

" Nothing says You matter to me,quite like an SMG" Tombstone laughed.

"So..." Shadow said,complettly serious again "...have you spoken to Keira?"

Tombstone quickly filled his friend in on the conversation in the kitchen,as well as updating him on both Tom and Ashtons conditions.

Shadow hissed through his teeth "we should go back up now...check to see if the gak has gotten any worse."

The two men headed back up the stairway....

OOC: I'm assuming we will have an event happening soon?

I would load my shotgun again, but it broke with all the ammo I put in it .
-loads..uh..pea shooter-

Ok, got my 'puter working again.

**EVENT!**

Tombstone reluctantly turned away from what could possibly be the happiest room he had ever been in - he cast his eyes over the neatly stacked racks of weapons and ammo as Shadow slid the door across. "Can't risk an accident, even with 20ft of rock all around us" he said as he locked down the catch. Tombstone nodded his agreement.

Then Shadow paused and cocked his head. "Hey, did you hear that?" he asked. "Hear what?" said Tombstone, trying to make anything out over the soft hum of the air filtration system.

"Damn." said Shadow as he raced towards the main hatch "Sounded like a scream!"

"Feth..." muttered Tomb as he quickly followed Shadow back to the house.

***

In the kitchen Tom was dragging his chair and half the furniture behind him as he tried to get at Daisy and Vikky. His dead eyes locked on his prey and a feral moan escaping his lips.

Vikky screamed again as Tom lunged at her, stepping back out into the hallway but tripping over the lintel as she did so, hitting her head on the far wall and knocking herself unconscious. Tom slowly dragged himself closer, the handcuffs cutting deep into his flesh, almost ripping down to the bone.

"Vikky!" shouted Daisy as she tried to rush to her aid. Tom suddenly turned towards her and tried to grab her but she stumbled back out of his reach.

"Help! Please! Somebody!" she shouted as Tom began to slowly chase her around the kitchen again.

Ok campers! Everyone in the house, please PM me your preferred responses - do you hide? Fight? Rush in? Try to restrain Tom? Help Vikky? Etc?

Just a brief synopsis of how your character would react please. If you want any suggestions as to what to do, just ask via PM.
