Notice regarding Hurricane Irene

My area is on the border of where Hurricane Irene may cause significant damage, so it is possible I won't have Internet for a few days; in the worst-case scenario, this may cause resolutions for turn 56 to be delayed.

Notice regarding Hurricane Irene

My area is on the border of where Hurricane Irene may cause significant damage, so it is possible I won't have Internet for a few days; in the worst-case scenario, this may cause resolutions for turn 56 to be delayed.

Good luck and enjoy the ride! If it downgrades to a tropical storm, it might even be fun! If not, just keep the luck!

That's ... ambiguous?

I wish you good luck during the storm, Packbat!

Keep safe Packbat!

Thanks, all! It's looking likely to pass east of where I am - hopefully the ditch we dug last night and this morning will suffice to keep the water away from the foundation. (Hurricane right after an earthquake - all we need is a tornado and we have the trifecta!) If I still have power & Internet this evening, I'll probably log on.

[Mist7676]

There was once a tornado in my city when I was 9. My swing set was hit and seeing the huge slide blow by I started sobbing

[theplague42]

=/= sobbing

[Mist7676]

I know but now that I think of it, it makes me laugh.

"I knew looking back at the moments where you cried would make you laugh, but I never knew looking back at the times you laughed you would cry"

Turn 56 Resolution

jmj3000: 2

Zodiark13: 2

His shotgun and pistol loaded, jmj3000 tucks the latter into a holster and the former into his bag, and he crosses the room back towards the ammunition safe. On his way there, he sees Riley eel through the doorway from off the street, and hears Zodiark13 descending the ladder from the roof.

"Hey, cat," jmj3000 says, pausing in his stride. He can hear Zodiark13 walking up behind him.

"Mrrow!" says Riley, plaintively.

"Mrow to you to," he says, and tries to step around. As he sidesteps, Zodiark13 begins to speak: "Hey, J., can I talk to you about..."

"MRROW!" Riley interrupts. The snow leopard plants itself firmly in jmj3000's way, staring pleadingly into his eyes.

"...oh, you're hungry, aren't you?" says jmj3000, as Zodiark13 gives up on trying to get his attention. "Wow, um ... I don't know what to offer. I'm not carrying anything."

"Mrrow?"

"...dangit."

mb53: 2-1 = 1

Meanwhile, mb53 catches his breath and begins nerving himself up for what comes next. Carefully rolling over and up into a sitting position, mb53 positions one leg under himself and starts levering himself to his feet.

Whereupon he instantly falls over with a gasp.

mb53 has a sprained ankle. He will be at -2 for anything involving standing for the next turn.

CSL: 1

Taking the keys from jmj3000, CSL goes browsing around the perimeter of the store, checking all the cases for weaponry. Eventually, she ends up behind the counter, where she discovers the owner's AR-15.

"Sweet!" she yells, interrupting Riley's yowls. "Hey, guys, check this out!" She grabs the gun from under the counter and yanks it out.

It is rather unfortunate that modern high school education does not include such things as "trigger discipline". Or, for that matter, "always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction".

CSL has shot herself in the foot. She will be at -1 for anything involving standing until further notice.

animorpherv1: 1

While this commotion is going on inside the gun store, animorpherv1 decides to scout out the rest of the stores on the block, just in case there is something useful to be found.

Halfway down the block, he finds a Latino grocery with an open door. Approaching closer, he sees that the lock is blown out - possibly by a shotgun shell. Walking inside, he sees that the shelves have been largely undisturbed near the door, and are well stocked with dry goods of various descriptions. He is about halfway down one aisle when he notices juicy tearing and gnashing sounds from further back.

As he approaches the meat refrigerators, he sees why.

Apparently, the wielder of the shotgun was not a careful shopper. A plastic grocery basket lies on one side on the ground, the shotgun a few feet away, and zombies are crowded around the open meat fridge.

One of the zombies on the fringe of the crowd turns.

And when animorpherv1 looks behind him, he sees the silhouette of another, just entering the store.

AurorusVox: 6

Meanwhile, unaware of the plight of his friends, AurorusVox has come to the conclusion that Yahtzee is the best way to appease his attackers. Slipping back into a two-footed form, he promptly pulls out some dice and soon has them learning the rules and playing against him. After several intense rounds, AurorusVox wins by a landslide. This angers the grey beings, who start to scream at him and gesture wildly. Suddenly, devices are pulled out of pockets in their clothing - weapons, that is, from holsters.

AurorusVox, caught off guard, shifts back, preparing to charge. He doesn't make it that far.

AurorusVox has been perforated with projectiles and

is now dead

Meanwhile outside, the door to a pharmacy opens and a fit young woman walks carefully, sword drawn, up the street and towards the overturned truck. She circles the wreckage, checking the vehicle for any injured passengers. She looks up a moment later, hearing Riley's yowl, and notices the lynx sunning itself in the middle of the street in front of the gun shop. Sheathing her sword, she approaches the cat and, finding it tame, begins petting it.

Tragedy has joined the party. She is carrying a traditional Japanese katana.
