NHA's Zombie Christmas!

[DelCage]

Alright, I decided about 20 seconds ago that this was a stupid, but good idea.

NHA is under zombified attack. Think you can survive it? NHA has no contact with the outside world at this point - for all they know, everyone and everything is dead...or undead and trying to kill them. Campus grounds are as is, but zombies are on them. None are inside the buildings yet, but there are some on the grounds, but there's a damn army of them outside the campus gates just itching to get in and gnaw on your pretty little character's flesh. NOM NOM NOM.

Here's how it goes:
Zombie Rules
-There are 5 types of zombies: Sliders, which are your standard, slow moving, moaning; Flashers, who are running frantic 28 Days Later-esque zombies; X-Turners, who are mutants turned zombie - and they still have their powers!; Beasties, who are smarter, fiercer, stronger, like zombies with wolf brains or something; and Mutates, zombies with special powers, usually something simple like flying or super strength.
-You get bit, it injects poison. The poison will give you (standard) about two hours before you're incapacitated, and another 30 minutes before you turn. If you can get the area bitten severed in the first few minutes, you can usually stop the poison from spreading, so an arm bite can be solved with some amputation.
-Consider all zombies slightly more durable than in the movies - after all, we got powers!
-Zombies have no way to locate you other than their five senses...EXCEPT WHEN YOU USE YOUR POWERS. Your powers WILL ATTRACT FREAKING UNDEAD.
-Stuff not attached to the head doesn't keep working, so decapitation/annihilation/brain damage are your best bets for killing

The Game
-Survive until the Profs get back to rescue your sorry asses.
-If your character dies, don't worry, everything is non-canon. Feel free to make awesome sacrifices.
-I might do a couple of Game Master type moves controlling zombies and events, but when you fight, you're in complete control. Be as badass as you wanna be. Run into the zombie hordes, and kill a hundred of em before they get you, I don't care. Have fun with it!
-Everybody is aware of the zombie attack
-All students start in the Gym, at night! Its a thunderstorm outside! SCARY!
-Regular NHA isn't on hold or anything, it will continue as normal.

And with that...go ahead, have some zombie Christmas fun!

[Icey-Moogle-Rosie]

Kalina stood motionless in the crowd of students, all of them in the gym. The scary thunderstorm was being...thunderous and Kalina couldn't stop shaking. She swore her breath was louder than anything else. Even the sounds of ZOMBIES TRYING TO BREAK IN! She whimpered and tried to block out everyones morbid thoughts. They all thought they were going to die. "What are we going to do?!" She cried out, not feeling too christmasy anymore.

[DelCage]

OOC: DOH, I'm stupid Rose. I should have mentioned everybody knows. That's why everyone starts in the gym. They are trying to decide how to survive. Let me edit.

[MoogleSlayer1992]

Mark looked around for Kalina. He ran over, "Are you all right?" He had a few scrapes from reaching the gym. It seemed like no one knew what was going on. The whole event had happened too quickly for anyone to have a true idea of who was responsible for this.

[4maivalentine]

"PPPST! CALVIN!!" Angelique had meant to whisper but she was too panic stricken to really care, "I think I can fit into the air vents! Come help me!"

She pointed up to the vent at the top of the bleachers of the crowded gym. All of the students seemed to shocked to the state of immobility, all fearfully concentrating on the scraps and groaning of zombies outside. Every now and then, someone would jump and screech at the crack of thunder, but beyond that, no one seemed to have a plan. Well, she had one, she was getting out of here, damn it. It's Christmas Eve! WTF? Why is she here anyway?!

---

The searing pain spidered across Chloe's shoulder and into her chest. She arched her back and chewed on her lip as she choked out a hoarse sob. Still, she tried to hold still, closing her eyes and concentrating on her stunted breath. Jennifer eyed her friend worriedly but continued to shakily secure the tourniquet across her friend's bleeding shoulder.

"Just hang on, Chloe, I almost have it," Jennifer whispered as she knotted off the cloth that was already turning pink from the mix of Chloe's blood and sweat. The wound wasn't in a vital area, but Chloe seemed to be in shock. She was drenched in sweat from head to toe and couldn't seem to communicate past wheezing breath and whimpering.

The red head finally finished and firmly placed her hands over Chloe's wound, who shook violently under the pressure. They'd been one of the last to make it to the gym and had already seen a few classmates taken down. The whole situation seemed futile, they'd unfortunately learned the hard way that trying to fly out only got the monsters riled up. Hence the situation they were in now.

[DelCage]

"Doesn't anyone have a plan!?" Fayth screeched, clinging to Drake's arm. They may not have numbers, but they had a vast array of powers and combat experience. She didn't know if the same could be said of the zombies.

"She's right," chimed in Theo, joining the group. He was trying to figure it out the same as them, but something else was on his mind, "Have you guys seen Chloe? Or Jennifer? I didn't see them anywhere!"

"You mean those two chicks who just walked in?" DaMarcus said from aside, sitting by himself. He pointed over towards the door, through the small gathering of students.

[UltimaSora]

Hein walked out from the crowd and made himself know, he shook his head as if to shake away his fear. "I can't believe Yun and Ace were eaten by zombies... we have to live on in order to tell there story.." he said as he took a seat next to the gym wall.

[Vect]

Avery meanwhile was pacing nervously through the Gym, trying to think of the Zombie stories that she's seen in life.
"I KNEW that they'd come after us. I knew that they'd rise one day. I knew that reading World War Z would be good for me... Gym Class... Wait..."

Going over to the room where they keep the equipment, Avery opened the door, hoping to dig something out. Eventually amongst the balls, volley ball nets, balls, uniforms, more balls and some pogo sticks, she found where the baseball bats are kept. Taking one for herself, she knocked over the case, hoping that others would find it...

[DelCage]

Hearing the clattering of bats, DaMarcus looked up. He rose to his full height and sauntered over, picking one up. This was pretty smart. He looked at the masked figure. He knew she was a girl with powers, but he couldn't lie that he still felt weird around her. He didn't really know what to say as patted the head of the bat in his big hand.

"Smart move," he finally said.

[4maivalentine]

Jennifer leaned against the wall, refusing to leave her friend's side. Chloe continued to wheeze and stare at the ground, completely unresponsive to anything that wasn't pain. She noticed that some of the group was moving toward the array of school equipment. She snorted and leaned her head back against the wall, trying to shed the flashes of recent memories from her head.

Lucky stood at the top of the bleachers with a dark expression on her face. Her whole body had broken out into spiny scales which had been sharp enough to rip parts of her Grateful Dead T shirt. From where she stood, there seemed to be a lot of commotion coming outside of the walls. Her transformation had seemed to send the Zombies into a fury but there was absolutely nothing Naomi could do to reverse the process, they had always acted as if they had a mind of their own.

She noticed a little blond girl hopping up the bleachers and making a beeline for an air vent. Angelique screeched Calvin's name again before frantically clawing at the vent's covering.

"Are you crazy, blue belle?" Lucky gasped, running over and slapping her hand to the iron grid, "Maybe they can get in that way!"

"So? I'd rather get out first before they get in!" Angelique shrieked.

It made sense, but there was still a gnawing feeling that told Lucky that this was a bad idea. She clenched her fist and sighed before batting her hand into the grid and knocking it clean off its hinges.

"Calvin!!" Angelique shouted again, but didn't wait for a response, or even offer a 'thank you' to Lucky. She shimmied into the air vent and blindly scrambled into the tunnel.

[DelCage]

Finally finding the girls, Theo couldn't ever remember being so relieved to see Jennifer.

"I was so worried about you guys!" he said, dropping down by Chloe. He wanted to hug her, but didn't know if it would just make her hurt more. He couldn't help but clasp one of her hands in his own. He looked up to Jennifer, his face rife with worry.

"What happened?"

[Sonic101]

Calvin finally answered Angelique's callings, running over and helping her into the vent. "They're zombies. I seriously doubt they're smart enough to use air ducts." Calvin stated simply before trying to slide in himself.

"You coming?" Calvin's voice echoed back down the tunnel to Naomi as he finally got his entire body in.

[4maivalentine]

"Uh..." Naomi took a hesistant step back and glanced down the bleachers at the many students who were arming themselves with PE equipment. She wasn't sold on either idea, really, but one thing was for sure, she wasn't going first, "If you get eaten by zombies, make sure to scream really loud, okay? Goooood luck!"

She smacked him on the butt and then started down the bleachers. When she reached the floor, she sat on the bottom bench and waited for the locusts to clear. She didn't mind taking what was left over, her main plan wasn't to attack anyway.

Angelique frantically crawled through the winding vents, blindly making her way deeper into the maze in hope of finding some exit. Finally she saw a grated light peaking at her through the tunnel way. Gasping in delight, she scrambled toward the vent and peaked through.

"...Is that an ice skating rink? We have an indoor ice skating rink?" She called out behind her to Calvin, "...Hmm, random! I wonder if this will pass over into the real arc..."

---

Chloe's fingers slightly tightened around Theo's hands for a fleeting moment. She still continued to stare blankly at the wall. The bandage that Jennifer had secured over Chloe's wounded was now stained in red and it seemed as if she was slipping further into this arrested state.

Jennifer glanced between Theo and the dwindling the pile of weapons. The gym wouldn't hold out much longer and they needed a way to defend themselves, especially if they were going to protect their dead weight, so to speak,

"She seems to be paralyzed, I don't know...We were in the elevator of Vera's dorm and...and the door opened and...we didn't stand a chance," Jennifer cried, finally getting up to go grab a bat, "Chloe tried to go back for Nik and Vera but..."

She painfully scrunched her eyes before bouncing off toward the other students for a left over bat.

[DelCage]

"Can you speak? It's gonna be okay, Chloe, I promise I'll fix this," he said somewhat frantically, no confidence in the words coming out of his mouth. This was bad. She was bleeding a lot. It wasn't stopping. He brought his other hand around, gripping her one hand with both of his own, not wanting to leave her side. But he had to.

He stood defiantly, and turned to anyone within earshot.

"We have people hurt. We'll have more at this rate. We need to get to the Infirmary...before they do. We can take supplies. Then we should hole up somewhere, either in the highest floors of the Professors dorms or in the CATT rooms, I think."

He hoped someone would listen. Chloe's life could depend on it.

[Sonic101]

Calvin stopped for a split second as he felt a hand smack his butt, seeing Naomi walking away. He was so going to tap that in the normal story....

Continuing on through the ducts he finally caught up with Angie staring outside. He attempted to stare past Angie's ass into the outside to verify her claims about an ice rink, but got slightly distracted and ended up just staring at her ass instead. Snapping himself out it, he asked the all important question: "See any zombies?"

[UltimaSora]

OOC: Post 666!

Suddenly Hein started feeling a little sick, he cut his arm earlier when escaping the zombie hordes. Had he been infected, that would be bad if his blood had taken in the virus. His power was too suitable to spread the virus to others. He was going to die, but if he was he would die alone. Standing up tall, he went for the front door and started opening it. "I will go before I change..." he said quietly.

[4maivalentine]

"...No! No Zombies!" She cheered before perching into a cat stretch. She reached out and clawed her fingers through the grate, "Help me push it open!!"

---

"Screw that!" Jennifer snapped, "We need to get the fuck out of here! Find the nearest town!"

[DelCage]

"The next town? For what? The humans that hate us and want to kill us? They probably think we started this. Oh no, wait, probably for the awesome security. Or maybe so a bunch of superheroes there can save us!" Theo taunted sarcastically. Where the hell did that come from?

"We hold the fort down here. However long we need to. It's a great location!" Theo suggested, stamping his foot down to make his point.

"Its either that, or people start posting this actively in the actual canon!"

[4maivalentine]

"Oh yes, the Canon!" Jennifer cried, "I'll have to do that, but that's besides the point! The point is that this place is crawling with Zombies and you may want to play hero but I'm getting out of here! I just need enough time to take off, then I can fly to Boston and get help!!"

Still, she couldn't help but stare at Theo. He was acting...kind of tough, which was highly uncharacteristic of the goof ball. She hesitantly took a bat and then walked back to where her friend was. Chloe's breathing had slowed and she appeared to be finally coming to.

Meanwhile, Naomi had found a random brick. She picked it up and headed for the backdoors of the gym. Dun, dun, dun.

[Sonic101]

Calvin got up as best he could in the cramped spaces of the duct, trying to reach the grate to aid Angie in opening it. After a bit of futile reaching he opted to just push on her ass instead, pushing with all of his might. He heard a couple of screws clatter onto the ground below. "I think we're almost through." He said through clinched teeth, reaching around Angie and finally getting at an angle to where he could push on his own.

The grate finally popped off, and with nothing left for Calvin to push against, he went flying out with it, flying across onto the ice. Sliding momentarily, Calvin just laid there, hoping his entrance didn't make too much noise.

[DelCage]

"Who's with me? Who wants to stay?" he asked, looking at the stirring Chloe, "And somebody must think going to the Infirmary is a good idea." He sighed. This wasn't going well.

---

Fayth was panicking. She released Drake, not wanting to be touching him as she voiced her thoughts.

"Oh god, we're going to die aren't we? We're all going to die? Oh god, here? In this crappy gym? I'm going to die a single virgin? What the hell!"

[teamantisocial]

Drake grabbed Fayth. He hadn't said anything at all this entire time. "I'm with Theo...Even though I've never made actual contact with him in the main story and I keep trying to steal his girlfriend whom does not look that appealing to me in this story." he said stepping forward.

Evan also stepped foward. "I'm with Drake even though I'm a liability!" he said.

[DelCage]

"Thanks, Drake. Drake, right? I appreciate tha- wait, you're trying to steal Chloe? WTF, dude?" Theo said, distracted, but looking back at her momentarily. Whatever, she was totally into him, not this guy.

"That's three. We might be able to get there without running into ANYTHING. Last call before this train leaves the station."

Meanwhile, Fayth looked at Evan, looking expectantly. He'd do. "Wait...are you single? Are you a virgin?"

[Vect]

Avery heard of this announcement and offered...
"I'm up for this, usually because I don't get to do much in the main story save for being the nerdy little girl with a crappy life so far-I mean, I... Wanna help... Because you're my friends."

[teamantisocial]

"Don't worry dude, I'm totally unsuccessful to all ends usually and will probably move on if I find someone else. And thanks Avery.." Drake said looking at her weird.

Evan looked at Fayth strangely. "I'm single, yeah >_>"
