Forum-Index → Roleplay → Pandemic RPWhen Edmund woke up, the day seemed just like any other normal, anticlimactic day. He got dressed, went to school, came back home, and headed out for work. He worked at his local donut shop, so his work attire consisted simply of a light blue t-shirt with the 'Delicious Donuts' logo printed across it. He swiped through his phone as he made his way towards the restaurant. His attention was caught by a web page on his phone reading, BREAKING NEWS: 'Zombie Virus' casualty rates hit 500,000 in 10 days! He tapped on the article, scrolling through it. Nearly 200,000 deaths...considered a global emergency...
He sighed as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. This stupid disease had only been around ten days; there's no way it could have already killed that many people. "The media is ridiculous," he muttered to himself as he pushed open the doors, already dreading work.
Gris flipped off the tv and looked out the window. A scruffy gray small cat jumped on the window sill next to Gris, it nudged her hand and gave a meow. In the kitchen there was a deer carcass hanging in a giant freezer like thing to keep the deer meat from rotting. In the window a pipe brought some rain water from yesterday's storm and was stock holding it in a good sized container.
He didn't have anything to fend for himself. In a hurry, Dias had grabbed most of his precious books, his phone and his wallet and stuffed it into the leather backpack and ended up in this situation, where he had survived from sneaking around in abandoned supermarkets and in a panic, dove into a tight locker. "Welp, I'm safe from those creatures but, will my supplies keep me long enough?" The male muttered to himself as he dug thrkugh his backpack, in search of his phone.
"Five hundred thousand...in ten days..." Dias muttered once more, the screen emitting blue light on his eyes was painful and he had forgotten his glasses. Oh well, he's not blind yet and he can still see everything perfectly fine. Not perfect per se but you get the point.
Now, I'd say that's a task well taken care of! Uh… were you expecting something more?
(Just gonna make out first interaction, here ya go Dias)
Suddenly he heard a groan from the back of the shop. "Hello?" he called. Nothing. He slowly made his way towards the back. His eyes fell upon a paled man sitting on the floor. "Mr. Stephenson?!" he called, crouching down next to his manager. "Are you okay? What happened?" he asked. After a few seconds of silence, Edmund reached his hand up to feel the man's pulse. Suddenly, the man hurled himself onto Edmund, knocking him over. "What-" he exclaimed before his arm was bitten by the man. He let out a scream as he shoved the man off of him. He stood up, running towards the entrance of the store. He ran out onto the streets, breathing heavily. "Where is everyone?!" he yelled, out of breath.
(time to cut off Edmund's arm lol.)
"Ew." Dias gagged, blood splatters all over him. He wasn't good with gore or violence. He guesses that it's fine in this situation, although he thinks when he's backed into a corner. Oh well, his body needs to be used to it until this was all over.
