Warning for possible triggers and death.

i . INFECTION.

• 1. YOU ARE INFECTED. It could be days, hours, or even minutes before you turn. Do you keep it to yourself and pray for a cure? Or do you hand your weapon over and trust your friend to put you down before you can hurt anyone else.
• 2. YOU KNOW. At least, you're pretty sure. They've been getting thinner, weaker, and the temperature that they're running can't be good. How do you proceed?
• 3. THEY'RE STILL HUMAN. These zombies are still people, you're the only one that sees it. You just can't take the killing anymore. Or maybe you just want to KILL THEM ALL. You're sick of these things. They're already dead, there's nothing human left in those eyes - you're a zombie killing machine.
• 4. IT'S YOU OR ME. There's no way the two of you can get out of here alive. Are you a good enough friend to let them go, or are you the sort to ensure that you only have to outrun them.
• 5. ABOMINATION. You've handled everything you've come across so far, but this is just wrong. Be it a baby, an animal, or a horrific mutation that grants it special powers - this one is throwing you for a loop.
• 6. NOT YOU. You recognize that one. Maybe it's a family member, a close friend, a lover, or a co-worker - you know who they are. Do you have the strength to do what needs to be done?

ii . SUPPLIES.

• 1. NOTHING LEFT. You're running out of almost everything. You've only got enough to feed one person now. Do you give it up, or are you ready to kill so that you may survive?
• 2. FOOD RUN. You and your buddy are all that stands between your group and cannibalism. Better hop to it.
• 3. ROTTEN. It's sat out too long and now everything is bad. You might have eaten it before you realized how rotten it was and now you're paying the price.
• 4. STOCKED. You found the ideal hideout and you want for nothing.

iii. YOU AGAINST THE WORLD

• . YOU'VE GOT A PLAN. You can protect your team, but it might cost you your life.
• 2. IMPROVISED WEAPONRY. They're closing in and you've got to think fast.
• 3. MUTINY. You're tired of their authority. You can do a better job.
• 4. ESCAPE. That city was getting too full, you've hotwired and tricked out a vehicle and now you're getting the hell out of dodge. Any zombie causalities are completely intentional.
• 5. SURROUNDED. Your safe space isn't so safe. They're on all sides of you and you're starting to run out of ammo.
• 6. NEVER ENDING ROAD TRIP. You've been in this car for ages, everyone is getting tired, and you're not sure where a safe rest stop is.
• 7. YOU WERE IN ON IT. You're safe in the head office of EVIL INC. and nothing can go wrong. Unless that clumsy scientist knocks that vial over, or unless one of your co-workers goes mad with the guilt. Or maybe you didn't know what you were getting into, maybe you've switched sides and you two aim to fix this mess.
• 8. ONLY ONES LEFT. Everyone else is dead. You're all that's left in the world. Where do you go from here?

iv. WILDCARD.

[lovesmermaids]

[Who knows why Amy and Quinn were the ones who went to get supplies in the city. Other members of their small camp were scattered around looking for more supplies. Shane and Daryl looking for ammo, T-Dog and Andrea looking for medical supplies and apparently Amy and Quinn looking for food supplies. Everything was going pretty well and they had managed to find a convenience store which they're currently raiding for as much as they can carry.

Suddenly they hear movement behind them. Amy turns quickly and raises the gun in her hand. Damn, she's never used a gun before in her life but in an emergency she's more than willing to try. There's a walker ambling towards them. Damn, they left the door open! She shoots and thankfully hits the zombie...but now it's going to attract others.]

Quick, help me barricade this door with something!

[fabrayic]

[Quinn's father had taken the family on hunting trips before. They were the perfect All-American family, and obviously, that entailed killing innocent creatures. Quinn was never much for it, but she had forced herself to do it. But shooting zombies was something else entirely. They were like people, but... they weren't. They used to be people, anyway. The first time she shot that zombie had been terrifying, to say the least. But now her survival instincts were kicking in - she was pretty much prepared for anything.

When Amy shoots, she's pretty impressed. She doubts any of her friends would have been able to hit that zombie. She doubts half of them would have stayed with her. She knew that one day their "every man for himself" mentality would come back to bite them. ...Literally. They were probably all bitten now. She was dreading the day she was going to have to shoot them, but that was the least important thing right now.

The most important thing was the zombies that were definitely going to come and kill them. She grabs the first thing she sees next to her - it's just an empty bag. She's definitely freaking out a little bit. What if they can't find anything to barricade the door with? She tries to take deep breaths. She glances around the practically empty store.]

Do you think we could take the shelves out?

[lovesmermaids]

[Well, there's a benefit Amy hasn't had. Well, her father had given her sister Andrea a gun but it's not like he'd ever taught them how to use them. Only thing he'd taught her was how to fish. Not exactly useful in this situation. Amy hadn't really thought of them as people to be honest...she just knew they were dead and if she didn't stop them then they would sure as hell kill them.

Amy's actually pretty surprised that she was able to hit the zombie in the first place never mind kill it but she's glad that she managed it that's for sure. Amy's panicking a little now as she helps Quinn look around the store. Her eyes linger on the shelves and she nods already springing into action]

Well, there's only one way to find out.

[With Quinn's help they manage to pull a few of them to cover up the door.]

[fabrayic]

[It's a good thing Quinn's athletic, because the shelves were heavier than she had imagined. But with all this adrenaline, Quinn's pretty sure she could have been one of those crazy moms that lifts cars off of their kids, or something.

For now, the door is covered. But who knows when they'll have to make a run for it? Immediately, Quinn starts running through every possible scenario in her head, formulating a plan. How likely was it that they would be endangered again in the next five minutes? Ten?

First, they needed to get supplies.]

Have you seen anything yet?

Damn, where is everything?

[She's frustrated, but she's pretty used to hiding her feelings by now. Outside, she's as calm as one can be during a zombie apocalypse.]

[lovesmermaids]

[They were quite heavy weren't they? Amy's definitely glad that she wasn't in this situation alone and the fact that she was a physical education student and pretty athletic herself helped. Amy stands up straight once they've managed to barricade the door and runs the back of her hand over her forehead.]

Well, that wasn't easy. At least it's covered though. [For now.

Amy, always one to be optimistic, starts looking around again for the supplies that they had come her for. She seems completely calm but inside she's panicking a little too]

We'll find the stuff...we've just moved all the shelves so it should be easier to find.

[fabrayic]

...You're right. We just have to stay calm.

[She's saying that to herself more than to Amy. Stay calm, Fabray. Don't you dare cry.

But she's scared.]

This isn't really how I imagined my life playing out.

[She laughs a little bit. It was either that or cry, really. She takes a deep breath and turns around, trying to locate some supplies. She crouches down, pushing her tangled and straggly hair out of her face. Her hands skim the hard surface of the floor, eventually landing on a small bag of pretzels that had been previously hidden from view. She ran her hands over it, feeling that most of them inside were either cracked or completely crushed. They had probably expired by now, but it was necessary that they eat something.]

[lovesmermaids]

Yeah, stay calm. Everything's going to be okay, we're going to be fine. My sister will find us.

[Even as she says it she doesn't quite believe it herself. Well she does believe her sister will come looking for them if they're gone for too long. And of course she'll bring someone along with her to help them out of this mess they've gotten themselves into...She does manage a small laugh at Quinn's comment in return.]

I don't think it's how any of us imagined it...no one warned us the world would go to shit.

[And Amy moves to the back of the store...maybe there's some sort of store room out the back that they can get some supplies out of. Yes, there's a door here! She tugs at the handle, a smile on her lips but it quickly fades when the door doesn't budge.]

Damn it, it's locked...
