The Zombie Apocalypse Meme!

Maybe it was a magic curse. Or a cosmic event. Or science gone wrong. Whatever it is, all that matters is that the world has suddenly become overrun by the walking dead. Zombies. The Virus Ridden. Whatever you want to call them, they're quickly decimating the lively population of the planet.

So, what are the remaining non-zombies supposed to do? Band together for survival? Develop a cure? Run for your lives? Scavange for supplies?

All of the above, probably. But the most important part is surviving.

So how does the zombie apocalypse meme work?
Go to RNG and roll a number 1-7 (or pick one, we won't tell). This number is your character's motivation in the zombie apocalypse. Post with your character, name/canon/number in the subject, optional scene setting in the body.

Anyone who wants to tag you ALSO rolls a number, and that number is their character's motivation for surviving the zombie apocalypse. Do your numbers match? Great! Maybe you can work together to survive. Do they not? Well, maybe you can come to a compromise.

Or you could die.

But then you'd be in good company with the rest of your brain-loving friends.


So, what do these numbers mean?

1 - Survival of the Fittest - You're a zombie killing machine. You see a zombie, you kill it. It doesn't matter if they used to be your mom, your best friend, or your pet dog. They're zombies now and they're coming after your brains.

2 - Are Zombies Good Eating? - You're hungry. Ever since the collapse of civilization, there's been a distinct lack of food and water. And you are determined that you get more of it than anyone else. While everyone else might be busy beheading zombies or trying to reach a safehouse, you're going to be looting those empty houses looking for something to eat. Or maybe something to drink.

3 - Science Will Save Us - There has to be a cure for zombie-ism, right? You might have trouble getting running water and electricity in your lab, but that doesn't mean you're not going to keep trying to cure people from their unfortunate bout of Zombie Flu. How? Well... you can take samples and look under a microscope. Or... you could try to catch a zombie and experiment quarantine them.

4 - I Don't Want to Die A Virgin - It's the end of the world as we know it, so why spend it getting beaten up and struggling to survive. Why not spend your last day doing what you've always wanted to do? Confess your love to an old crush, a new arrival, or just the guy you saw beheading zombies. After all, if everyone manages to survive, someone has to repopulate the earth.

5 - No, What Are You Talking About, Fluffy Isn't a Zombie - The world is burning but you just can't let go of man's best friend. Your pet is frothing at the mouth and continually tries to crack open your skull to get to the tasty tasty brains inside, but you know Fluffy is just playing. And if anyone else tries to tell you otherwise, they are going to find themselves on the wrong end of your shotgun!

6 - Ooooooooooooone Of Usssssssssssssss - You have been infected! Your skin is turning grey and you're getting hungry. So very hung--BRAAAAAAAAAAINS...

7 - Poster's Choice - Are you the Zombie Queen? The last bastion of hope in a tanker out at sea? Running a Safehouse for the Hungry Undead? Anything else your heart desires, this is the number for it.

Happy Hunting!

[This actually wasn't his fault. Hiding his skills though, had never seemed like a better idea. People were rising from the dead and attacking the castle. The outbreak had started in low town, Gaius suspected a necromancer- magic that had power over the dead? Not Merlin's thing.]

Arthur.

[The plague spread quickly then, infecting high and low born alike. The dead, they went after the living and so turned others into the same sick mystery. Even some Knights had become victim.]

You can't stay here.

[Gaius was working on a cure. To be entirely honest, he had little hope in modern medicines, once again, it was up to magic to undo what had been done by magic.

Merlin had to find the cure.]

She's been bitten, but she's strong, we'll save her.

Cain - Supernatural - OTA

[fatherofmurder]

Cain didn't watch the news. Or listen to the radio. The human world hummed along around him and without him and he was just fine with that.

Until they started coming. The population was slowly being consumed by a virus turning them all into the walking undead. Not the work of demons - it wasn't messy enough, wasn't insdious enough. Slow, shambling, but dangerous in hordes, he'd been able to ghost around most of them so far.

But even demons can be cornered these days and as Cain savages the pack of zombies, he can hear some of them breaking off to attack another onlooker. Serves them right for staring instead of running like a good human. But that's all the thought he spares for them, returning to the fight, pulling zombies apart with little effort. Arm, leg, head, keep pulling until eventually they stop moving.

Hands and shirt spattered with gore, the Father of Murder stepped away from the twitching corpses, his expression shifting into one of disappointment. The onlooker hadn't been human after all. "It figures. The first non-infected I encounter in a month and it's you."

"Hello Abbadon."

[queenofknights]

"Hello, lover."

She smirks and daintily steps over the various piles of bloody, dismembered appendages and smiles warmly at him.

"Miss me?"

This really was lovely. Gore, violence, chaos... and she hadn't even had to lift a finger. Evolution really was such a funny old thing. Her new army was practically for show, at this point, but the virus sure was making for easy pickin' on souls for her to twist and mold into loyal followers. But she'd do it better. Better than Lucifer. Better than the one standing in front of her. She would be unstoppable, and she would have her kingdom.
