It had been a months, maybe even over a year, since the explosion was heard for miles. Since all radio traffic stopped, cars disabled, buildings deserted. The winds must have carried the fallout from the bombs by now? Everyone went into the underground base knowing they may never come out as the timers counted to zero as the bombs systematically detonated…
The base contained at least 1000 people, but sickness and hunger made those numbers fall below 100, including you.
The radio was powered by a crank for the resistance. Everyday the captain sat there turning the handle methodically, with only the sound of static to fill the sparse walls of the bunker.
But for the first time in weeks the 100 ft thick metal doors had stopped clanging from sounds of the
outside world burning, gas lines exploding. The bunker felt still… a calm before a storm perhaps? There were rumors of opening the sealed doors within the week, but time was scarce in that dark damp underground "haven" and a week may have become months or maybe only days.
But something about the silence today was different… The static turned to a voice, which turned to a message, as the resistance became still hanging on every word!
"Attention, everyone…..we will go back up to the surface in a few hours. Pack everything you own. Form up into small groups and head up to the surface. You may be tired and worn, but don't give up hope! OUR world begins TODAY! Watch your backs… we don't know what is alive… or what survived… God Speed."
With that The Captain gave the signal and the doors began to hinge open. The light burning the eyes of everyone who had not seen the sunlight in so long. Children born of the cave crying due to the new "heat" they felt from it.
The bright light at the end of the tunnel shone bright, as the resistance made their way to it, un sure what would be there, but hearing, "Keep moving! Stay Quiet! Form up! Don't let your Guard down!" from the Captain.
Guidelines: Out of character chat is defined by (( out of character )).
The story will begin once we have at least 5 characters.
How to talk: When it begins you will want to talk about yourself and what you say using a format similar to: "Fuck that is huge", I said in a gasp.
Posts: Keep your entries brief, no longer than a paragraph to keep the storyline going.
Interaction: DO NOT KILL OR WRITE STORY ACTIONS FOR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA. You can of course reference them and interact but how they respond is up to them.
The Captain: This player will decide what your actions consequences are. So choose wisely. Think of it like D&D but if you cast magic misile into the darkness you will probably be swarmed by a billion zombies and die. If you die you can sign up on the sign up page again under a new name and begin in the next chapter.
Chapters: Each Zombie RP session will be broken up into chapters to let others join in later if they are so inclined and also give a sense of progression and accomplishment to those who have finished. As well bonuses, such as weapons, food, housing will be provided to those who make further into the chapters.
Start Date: Chapter 1 will kickoff on Feb 8th sometime in the evening.

In short yes. ))
