✮-Zach

my muse cannot lie

✮- And a name to hear their real feelings for them.

@rioreeve

"Right now? He's like a brother to me; a very quiet one, only now do we get to know each other better, but that's okay. Never too late for friendships. If I had brothers, I'd like them to be like Zach and Ashton. Can I call them both my found family?"

[rioreeve]

👨‍⚖️ - Ria

@rhianwells

"Attacked some poor elderly woman with a cup of steaming chamomile because she looked like a zombie. She was trick-or-treating with her grandson, and it's not her fault she didn't need any makeup for that role. Knowing Ria's luck, the police would just agree with her and leave her alone."

TIMELINE REPORT - FROM DAY 0 OF OUTBREAK. // REPORTEE: RYDER LAST DATE OF UPDATE: MAR 2

supply list library of astrophysics books, university staff and student pass, laptop, mid-range telescope, physicists tools, laser pointer, circuit board scraps, mini solar power generator, tactical flashlight, compass, M18 handgun & 9mm bullets & handgun silencer, M27 rifle & 5.56×45mm NATO & rifle silencer and scope, military combat knives, old dog tag, water bottle, regular supplies from a lived in apartment slowly dwindling away.

1st Nov - Ashton had finish teaching his physics lecture for the undergrad students that morning, with nothing else to do on campus after that, he brought his thesis work from the labs back home (alongside a birthday gift or two from his graduate mates), rather avoiding the evening rush hour if he stayed. He buried his head in his research until he hears the screams, the crashes, the gunshots, and he looked up and out towards the direction docks and the colour drained from his face. He called his mother who was in Minnesota alone, letting her know he was alright, that everything will be alright. And that's the last he heard from her. he didn't sleep that first night.

2nd Nov - He pulled out the handgun he had locked up all these years, stepping in to join the group that was looking to help the caretaker secure the building, more than happy being at the front lines pushing back the zombies.

3rd Nov - ashton's birthday :c

4th-15th Nov - ashton goes in and out between helping organise their new normal, helped Rosie sort out the garden, continued his thesis work, tried contacting his mom again to no avail. Tried reaching his university, silence. Tried reaching his own military contacts, silence. He started volunteering to go outside and do recons, find survivors, and just do something to figure out what the fuck was going on. it wasn't always approved but when he did, he tried to bring back valuable information on the zombies and any survivors.

16th Nov - after the crash, Tobias shared the radio they found in the ambulance with Ashton to take a look and see what can be done. He devotes more of his time in fixing the radio, as well as trying to make contact with the military. He starts monitoring horde movements from the rooftop daily, helping map out safe routes for scout and recon missions. They were left to fend of themselves, losing hope for help to come anytime soon, so scavenging, raiding and looting had begun. He does his best to bring back what some of the residents request on scouting and scavenging missions. still in denial and working on his thesis when he has nothing else to do.

17th Nov - Sweet potatoes that had been growing over the fall originally meant for scientific research, had been harvested before winter came. The residence now have a large amount of sweet potatoes curing away some to be used early on and others to be kept for the long term months away.

18th Nov - Ashton turned on his phone again, hoping for something different, hoping to contact his mother, or just even send a text to make sure she's okay. Still no service. No signal. No hope. Ria joins him at the diner for their meal before the chaos struck. He last saw Courtney a day or two ago on the roof, she performed a beautiful piece in front of him, and now she's chomping on someone else. They were too far from the action to be useful but Ash went to go track down those bitten and escaped, with Nat and Ria taking down the poor old lady that once shared tea with him when he first moved in.. and then he went off to get his gun to clear out the higher floors, making sure no infected was left, checking in on the residents, putting the poor guy that hid in his apartment and died and turned all alone out of his misery. When everything went quiet, no more groans and screams, he did a sweep before meeting Zach by the staircase helping lift the last of the bodies into the second floor Atrium where they did a head count and mourned for the dead. He couldn't sit around and not do anything and be useless and so he brought out the radio once more. He was missing something he was sure, and he knew it'll click sooner or later. With Zach and Nat's help, they finally figured out the radio and Ash fixes it with a sharp crackle into the first joys of audio they've heard from the device.

21st Nov - Ashton spent the past few days preparing for their trip to the ship after the decision was made to find answers at the start of the outbreak. The radio had hinted towards something on the ship that had made it on but shouldn't have, that it wasn't just a cargo ship. He and Zach departed at daybreak the moment the hordes thinned out, taking the 2 hour trek to the ship and found out that Korea had created immunity test kits in order to find suitable immune antibodies to create the vaccine. The immunity test kits on the ship were meant for global distributions to reach and warn the world while they still could and find a wider pool of immuned antibodies. Zach and Ash grabbed as many as they could in case the ship ever goes under one day. He aggravates an old injury from his left shoulder in the process of escaping the ship but ultimately comes back safe and sound, if you don't count dying a little bit inside coming back with Sada in tow as well.

22nd Nov - After the 24 hour quarantine, Ashton went to Tobias to get his shoulder checked, considering that he was the one to operate on it in the first place, no better time for a check up. His shoulder was wrapped up as a bandage brace and given a few days to recover by itself with the aid of ice, heat, and anti-inflammation pills. The men also then reported in their findings before the decision on what to do with the test kits was made.

23rd Nov - Thanksgiving dinner was nice. Ashton thinks about his mom and tries to reach her again.

2nd Dec - Ashton spots a familiar face of his old marine comrade Kang coming towards the building letting him and his fellow scientist partner in.

12th Dec - After decisions were made, preparations were done to set the whole building up for the test kits and today was the morning Mr Wexley decided to make the announcement. Ashton awkwardly stood beside him with Zach during the announcement. (not important but he just wanted to note down he felt awkward :/) Ash volunteers to be the first resident to demonstrate the test, proving everything was alright and alleviate any fears or doubts people had. He and Zach then went out for a quick run that morning, keeping his promise to Charlie and picked up cigarettes for Jeremiah.

13th Dec - Ashton receives his results of delayed immunity (bummer). He still immediately puts him name in for the supply run, as if it was as easy as taking a walk. Mr Wexley seeks him out to ask a favor from him to take charge of leading the residents, strategizing and assigning the supply runs and giving them safety briefings before heading out for the first time. Ash also offers to teach self defense to anyone heading out.

16th Dec - Ashton had been at the diner that morning later than usual, otherwise he could've been dead. All seemed normal until Charlie came rushing down with an unconscious Skyler in tow. The Carbon Monoxide gas leak hit them all in the morning and Ashton volunteers to start going through and evacuating the residents from their apartments alongside the rest of the others braving through the gas. Ash and Mr Wexley found the source of the leak and worked to clear it out together. With the crisis averted, most came out unscathed except for one, and of course it's Sada's fault, who else. Ashton felt the affects of the gas for the next few days but nothing time and some actual oxygen can't fix.

23rd Dec - Ashton and Zach spent the days leading up to this prepping the teams for the big supply run, everyone pitching in to be divided into teams and focus on various supplies they needed to get before the snow hits them in the face and they need to tide over the winter. All hope was practically lost to be saved and their focus was only on survival at this point in stead of rescue. Ashton has tried to plan out for all worst case scenarios, exit plans, and yet, the worst just couldn't even be thought out well enough, or maybe Ash had just lost his edge from his time away from the marines. His own team should've been a small quick team, in and out. And everything had gone wrong, he should've seen it coming. Losing Skyler there and then had been heartbreaking and coming back to a shit storm everywhere else.. just fuck.

24th Dec - 2nd Mar - The events from their supply run pulled Ash back into a familiar place, a dark place, of leading and letting people down, people dying because of him and his decisions. He focused his efforts on surviving, keeping everyone alive, nothing else. He continued to trudge through the snow to search for the missing residents that never made it back, they were strong hardy people, they can survive, Ash just needs to find them. Till then, he found it very hard to look at people in the eye, especially Charlie. Losing Skyler, sending both her brothers out there for them to not come back, they have to come back. Charlie couldn't lose JP and Jer, and honestly neither could Ash. He never told anyone of his solo runs outside, finding more supplies that they never managed to get and hoping to find their people. He got caught once or twice, but perhaps no words were needed to justify why he was doing it, why he was trying to make it right. Winter came and finally went, at least they've survived the worst. And Ash hopes to continue to look for the rest of the Wexley residents again. ..It can't get any worse. ..Right?

The Finale will run approx. until May 2nd, while the main is updated for Season two! There is no reason to pause current threads, and in fact, it's recommended to also use this time to wrap them up in preparation for the time skip that will come with announcement of Season Two.

Dec 23rd, 2023

Away Teams:

8:00am - Depart The Wexley with a team heading in each of three directions set out by Ashton. Each team is kept in communication with each other and The Wexley by walkie talkie.

10:45am - Val and Charlie are successfully extracted from the space, but the way in and out collapses onto Skyler as he's making his way out and crushes him.

11:15am - A ragged group of survivors tries to ambush Zach's team. They're defeated, loading of supplies continues after agreement that they delay heading back long enough to ensure they won't be followed by other hostile survivors. Dalton has gone missing in the chaos.

12:15pm - Residents sent upstairs to return bedding to the suites aren't returning and it's raising notice. Someone opens the door to the stairwell and a horde of at least ten chompers flood out and into the Atrium. Mr. Wexley calls for an evacuation of the building and pulls the fire alarm to alert anyone on upper floors. Sada Vang is forgotten about locked in her 'cell'.

12:20pm - The stairwell and rear exit are propped open, and Mr. W and some residents attempt to draw the chompers out of the building with loud noises. Fleeing when the horde begins to head their way.

2:40pm - The first of the scout team survivors starts to return to the building.

2:50pm - Spotting the returning scout team members, surviving residents start returning to the building.

Maddy’s Mario Party

In the interim, Maddy ran two one-off sessions. The first one will be tagged as #Maddy’s Mario Party, because the dungeon was basically one long video game masquerading as some kind of fucked-up game show. Seriously, there was platforming involved.

The players and characters are as follows:

Me - Iska Fayell, one-eyed gnome sorcerer (if you were around for the old online group, you might remember her from #hacchi’s carrion crown).

Mark - Fletus Derringer, Tabaxi rogue. His fur is black with a white chest.

Evan - Cletus Derringer, Tabaxi rogue, Fletus’ brother. His fur is the inverse of Fletus’: white fur with a black chest. They put me strongly in mind of Doug and Todd’s ratfolk Amun and Symu from Steve’s #desert campaign.

Conor - Varth Dader (real name Snackin Ackywalker), warlock. Exactly what you think.

Jon - V, human barbarian fighter rogue. Created last-minute, so not much personality at the start, except definitely a bit vulgar. Thoroughly androgynous.

Zach - Red Miskar, bugbear… something? Fighter, barbarian… he’s not smart and he hits hard.

Ben - Ria Eyenor, aasimar sorcerer. Female. White skin, white hair, gold eyes.

Dave - Gurgen Mukal Arki Relmen (I almost definitely spelled some of that wrong), gnome cleric, loves everybody. Big on hugs.

Don - Veritas, halfling warlock. Kinda emo.

Kirby - Rayell Delanadel, moon-elf, arcane trickster rogue. Very emo. Translucent skin, jet-black hair, the works.

[moomoogoss]

tag the group as 13 reasons why

hannah baker - bethanie and/or andie depending on how you wanna look at it

clay - elliot literally obviously do i even need to explain

tony - sam but not because of his personality that’s for sure

jessica - meredith or kendall tbh

justin - ria lmao?

alex - leah? or landon

zach - daniel maybe

tyler - wes :/ 

courtney - stella

marcus - rodney possibly

ryan - is anyone this iconic?

sheri - finley probably

bryce - absolutely fucking not
