Posts: 28 Group: Members Member #110 Joined: September 28, 2008	After two heated discussion threads, we've finally come to the point where we can roleplay this shnitzel. General Details Virus is bloodborne. Incubation Time: Around 23 hours. Contamination: Exact time depends on immune system, but around five minutes. Contamination can happen through deep wounds, the mouth, the eyes, and the nostrils. Slight contact with infected blood might make you ill, but it won't infect you. Symptoms: Hours 1-5: Pain and discoloration in the infected area. Hours 6-10: Fever, chills, slight demential, vomiting, acute joint pain, dilation of the pupils. Hours 11-19: Numbing of extremities and infected area. Increased fever, dementia. Periodic muscle spasms. Hours 20-27: Numbness, slowed heart rate. Amnesia. Periodic seizures. Nose bleed. Hours 28-35: Severe bleeding through the nose and mouth. Blood loss, shock. Hour 36: Cardiac Arrest. Thirty minutes later, reanimation. Origin: A radically new medical drug known as REMX was developed to combat a crippling disease that ran rampant throughout the world. The U.S. were the first to distribute the drug at a local level for vaccination, but other countries soon followed. When distributed to the public, the disease had immediately been stomped out by the powerful new drug. However, with the use of the drug there came a price. Mutating the human body at a cellular level, it rendered the body vulnerable to a strain of the rhinovirus known simply DLC-S72. Regularly harmless to normal people due to their immune system's ability to fight off the virus, there was never really an attempt to kill it off since most of the world's population was virtually immune to it anyway. The virus is highly volatile and is a rare form of the rhinovirus in that it literally feeds off the body's nutrients like that of a parasite while infecting a host. Timeline: March, 2008: REMX developed for the "crippling disease". May, 2008: REMX widely distributed after clinical testing proves that it cures "crippling disease". Patients are observed to having little to no side affects. June, 2008: REMX purchased in large quantities by foreign countries and distributed. Original test patients begin to experience illness. July, 2008: William Norstadt, a 34-year-old patient, is the first to experience the symptoms described. An in-depth autopsy conducted by government scientists renders the body unable to reanimate. Alice Roarke, 18 years old, another patient, experiences the same symptoms. Her family home in a secluded part of Maine proves difficult to reach, and when paramedics arrive they find her parents slaughtered and a zombified Alice eating their remains. The paramedics manage not to alert her presence and contact the authorities. When Alice attempts to assault the officers that arrive, she is shot and killed. The government seizes her corpse to conduct experiments and records eye-witness accounts. Similar cases begin to pop up around the nation at alarming rates. August, 2008: The zombified are recorded as being cannibalistic and dangerous. The American government begins to install military patrols and plans to pull troops out of the Middle-East. Cases pop in foreign countries as well. Near the end of August, the government is beginning to quarantine cities and towns. The cause of the outbreak is researched. September, 2008: George W. Bush installs Martial Law for "the good of the people". Soldiers are shipping away possible infected peoples to internment camp-like areas around the country. The disease continues to spread rapidly. Research continues. October, 2008: Panic ensues. Our story begins. *Registered Players:** Westwally, NeedyNeedles, Emerik, Coonie, Ozmodious, Osh2, SilverPaladin. Everyone who has submitted a Bio by Tuesday, October 21st. Important:* This thread is strictly for the purpose of playing out this RP. If you need to discuss something, post it Herehere. Note: I'm sort of afraid to go first, since it's still Wally's RP, so he gets dibs. Unless told otherwise, I'll wait for 2nd. Edited by NeedyNeedles, Oct 21 2008, 07:10 PM.

The ratio of Zombie-to-Human-mass is rising by a 1000:1 every day this RP is delayed. Please, think of all the fleshy humans being eaten by a zombie every time you delay a RP. /nod /nod

Posts: 28 Group: Members Member #110 Joined: September 28, 2008	I'm really surprised and bummed that this thread has descended into unactivity. Sigh. Go ahead and join Muzz, but I'm not sure if anyone's following this anymore. I guess that it's up to me to start this. It took me surprisingly long to write this. I went and watched 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later and skimmed through some related novels and short stories for inspiration. - - - - The surf begins to hit the shore with increasing intensity as the sun falls behind the horizon. Once, people would still be here on the beach, by now probably packing their stuff up and washing off in the public showers. This was before everything got fucked up. Before everyone either left or died. This beach is empty now, except for me. No snotty-nosed kids running around, no surfers with bleached hair, no fat people trying to get a tan. Far off down the shore I could see the umbrella and lounge chair with the dead guy sitting in it. When I found him there was a gun on the loose sand beside him and there was blood all over the fucking place. Shit like this makes people crazy. The people that aren't crazy already, that is. You know. The cannibalistic maniacs running around foaming at the mouth and making guttural noises. Those things. They aren't even people to me anymore, just things. Animals. It makes it easier, I think. To kill them. If you're imaging that you're only shooting a bird or a rat instead of your neighbor, everything is simplified. I think a virus did this. Something easily transmittable. No one knew when it first came around, but by the first week people were dropping like flies. Every day the death toll doubled, not counting the people killed by crazies. That's what I call them. Laurel calls them zombies, but I dunno if they are or not. I just know that if you give them the chance, they'll rip out your throat. The government tried to stop the outbreak. Quarantine zones, military patrols, mass burning sites, everything. It wasn't long after that the crazies outnumbered the normal people and everything went to hell. They put my family in quarantine because they showed signs of infection. I didn't. They tried to transport me to a different facility, but sometime between then and a couple of weeks the riots happened. One moment I'm being escorted outside of the hospital and the next I'm in a clusterfuck of angry, scared people. I don't remember when this all happened. I think two, maybe three weeks ago. The virus broke out maybe six or seven. I'm just guesstimating. Just like money and fame, time means nothing anymore. It's simple now. You're either one of us, or one of them. I just hope that someone kills me before I become one of them.
