As I continued to follow the girl, I saw her duck into a small abandoned car and out of my sight. Seeing as how she was fairly close to the 'mob', I figured she was going to hide until they left.
I decided to turn my attention to watching the mob move about. They were basically not moving at first, but it seemed that they grew bored standing around as they decided to walk down another road to the south, and out of my line of sight.
As I slowly continue my approach to the abandoned car, I see that the girl is stepping out with a sort of look of relief... but not for long I heard the cries of several men in the direction the mob went.
No... It can't be...
But, there was no doubt. There was no one else down the road they went. I heard shouts and screams as if there was a fight. They couldn't be far, but at the same time, I couldn't see them. I started a dash down the road and towards the abandoned car the girl hid in.
As I run, I press a button on my quiver and it dispenses an arrow which I draw.
If the mob was attacked by zombies, then that can only mean trouble. How fast would they be converted? And just how strong were the zombies?
Several black, human-like figures, with decaying skin that almost seemed to droop on several parts of their body, began to make their way onto the road. And among their ranks were the thugs that had just headed that way. They weren't completely black like some of the others, but it looked as if their skin was already decaying. Their bodies swayed and rocked as they slowly dragged their feet across the cement.
I come within 5 meters of the abandoned car, and the girl that came out from the car looked towards the road; the road to the harbor was now completely blocked. She just stood stunned for a bit, simply just taking in the situation. Suddenly, perhaps out of panic, I see her take out the pistol from her side and she points it towards the zombies. I could see her pull the trigger, but nothing happens.
Are you kidding?! Was the safety still on?!
As I come to a stop, still about 4-5 meters from the girl, I press a button on the black canister I had slung on the side of my belt and out came a small device that was just a bit larger than a bottle cap. I mess with the dial and a couple buttons on the device and I attach it to the metal tip of the arrow I had.
The girl seems to realize that the safety was still on quickly as she immediately removes it and opens fire at the zombies. However, with so many out there, there was no way she could kill them with only a pistol. She manages to shoot a couple in the head, seemingly killing, or at least stopping their movement, momentarily, but it also makes the zombies aware of her presence.
This is it! There's no time to think about it!
I quickly draw the bow I had slung on my back and like clock-work, I place the arrow on the string. As I pull back the string slowly, I read the gauges that are on my bow very briefly to help me adjust my aim. With one eye closed, and my stance straightened, I yell out to the girl.
"Get out of the way!! Trust! Me! Just get down!!"
((OOC: I had 15 arrows in that quiver, so only 14 left. I also had 7 of the explosive devices, likewise, only 6 now.
I hope the gauges on my bow help with the roll... Here's to hoping the dice are in my favor!))

I can't believe I forgot about the safety switch. Thankfully luck is still by my side. I pull the trigger without hesitation. One, two, three shots. They're much stronger than I thought and the gunfire sound attracts them towards me.
One down. He drops down to his knees. And I wasted 3 bullets on him. I keep shooting at them, wasting another 10 bullets. And finally, my handgun is out of ammo.
"Why now?!" I can't think clearly.
Then, I hear a loud yell coming from behind.
"Get out of the way!! Trust! Me! Just get down!!"
I look behind and sees a man with a bow. He's going to kill me, or them? I don't know. My brain can't think clearly right now. I decide to run towards other side of the road.

Xminebreaker: Cliff attempts to kill off the zombies after attaching an explosive to his arrow, then shooting it towards them. A Perception attribute test is to be done with the roll of a dice, 5 is required.
Dice result: 2
2 + 2 = 4
(Your character's explosive misses. But it lands really close to the zombies and they're burning in flames. They walk towards you and the woman for a few moments before falling down and turning pure black after the flames left them. The sound of the explosion has attracted countless groups of zombies from afar.)

I hear a particularly loud noise. An explosion from... south-west? I'm not sure about what had happened, but I think it's louder than a car exploding. The harbor is definitely unsafe due to the amount of noise that had made. But the same for this airport as well, just that it's a bit safer since there's quite a distance still. "In a situation like this, you'd think twice about doing something so loud... especially when you're close to that harbor. Perhaps someone has gone mad? I can never say for certain... " as I mumbled to myself, my walk started to slowly come to an end, as I was greeted by the lights and crowds of people lining up before the airport. I take out a paper from my backpack and show it to the guards who are keeping the citizens restrained and in order.
The guard is surprised after reading the details in the paper and quickly bows out of respect... just what was written in that paper that Jacob gave to me? I make an expression of utter confusion, then just ask him to have someone escort me inside, as I was in a hurry. He quickly decided to lead me in himself after getting someone to take his place in a frenzy. He's acting weird, just what did that paper have in it? I decided to read it myself as I walked behind him... Vice presi-... wait, what? You can't be serious, Jacob. Just what kind of a move is this? Are you desperate to get me off of this country? I shuffled my thoughts aside and look up at the man leading the way, it's like he's a tamed beast. This position might get a bit addictive... ahem.
Regardless, soon my passport was checked and my whereabouts, just in case, apparently. Then I was allowed into the airplane that awaited it's passengers. My room is really spacious, two seats, like the usual seats that would be found lined up in a normal airplane, and a bed on the corner. I see a closet, a bathroom... and move. I always love this kind of a room even though it's designed as though you're supposed to be staying in the plane for a few days. I laugh to myself for being used to traveling with such planes, then take a seat and heave another sigh yet again. I've rested my blade, covered by the scabbard on the wall. I hope it doesn't slow the airplane down along with it's heaviness. People actually insisted that my weapon should be kept in the storage not too far away. But I can't be sure, and I just had to request them to let me keep it. In such a situation, they couldn't really reject my request, either.

"... You shouldn't act so hastily in all situations. Only by doing that, you might have a better chance of survival in the battlefield..."
As "her" voice echoes in my mind, I regained my consciousness back. Abruptly, I halt my advance and roll unto an empty alley on my left. The woman that I wanted to help is no longer on the road. She seems to be hiding on one of those abandoned cars. At the same time, the baseball group is moving out of the area. Shouldn't do something reckless now.
I inhale deeply while leaning on the cold alley's wall. Kinda dissapointed on myself for losing my calm like that. But for sure, I need to get that woman. She will get out from her hiding eventually after those group completely out of sight. By then, I'll try to--
Screams of men pierced the night so suddenly. I look to its origin. You don't mean...
Only a few moments later, my answer comes on sight. Yep, zombies. And looks like they just got additional members; the baseball group. This is kinda bad. I need to find where that woman is hiding and take her to other place.
Before I begin my search, several gunshots can be heard from one of abandoned sedan in the street. Looks like it's that woman. It's relieving that she has weapon with her, but why she's not moving away from that spot?
Another man comes out of nowhere towards the sedan. He lets out a bow and shoots at the crowd of zombies. A loud explosion blows away near the zombies, but not really hit them. Oh wow, flaming zombies! Wait, not a good joke. That loud bang must be attracting the other zombies in the area by now, meaning... soon they (and me) will be in a great pinch.
I slip away from the alley, trying to approach them without any of them noticing. The plan is still the same, run to safety... with that woman. I don't care about the man, but based on past's experiences, he'll tag along anyways. Oh well...
"... Execute the plan...", so I say.
((Sophia is trying to get near the sedan silently, to confirms whether the woman is there or not. Once she sees her, Sophia will grabs and drags her away from there, preferably to some alternative way toward Section H which is safer than this one. SILVANUS is still in Blunt mode, but ready for use anytime depends on the situation.))

Just when I reached the other side of the road, I hear loud explosion.
"Kyaa!!" I'm losing my balance and accidentally drops my flashlight.
"What was that?" I try to take a look around. The zombies are on fire. This is crazy! More of them will come here soon!
I want to stop that man, but what if he's trying to attack me?
Suddenly, I hear a growling sound nearby. Two zombies are walking towards me.
I screamed out loud and tried to run away, but I don't know where to run.
I quickly grab my backpack and checks for my handgun's magazine, before its too late.

i should just die
I rush my way through the crowd, bumping into all kinds of people along my unfaltering approach. The train is arriving.
"I'll never make it....."
Nevertheless I charge forward, shoving aside the people through the meanders of the queue. I see the train... and relentlessly pushed ahead, barely passing through the doors as they're closing.... I had to catch my breath, as I found myself heavily panting and wheezing after that ferocious outburst of fervor. To may much unneeded dismay, the train was at full capacity. The seats were all filled, even though I couldn't see them, and judging by the number of people packed like sardines into this can of a train car, I wouldn't be able to get one either. So I decided to stand with the crowd. Ding! Dong! Please remember to sit down and fasten your seat belts for the tough ride ahead, announced the train captain. [i]What's the use? People are going to stand anyway and they don't give two shits, so why should I? Well, I'm going to admit that if a person were to fall he'll create a domino effect for the rest of the passengers. I did my best to keep balance, but as soon as the train started going I immediately wobbled like jello in the train. Everybody did, and their faces made such a face, that soon I was grabbing hold onto a human before I could even realize. The train swayed and reverberated it's body, and of course I couldn't keep up. so I hugged the male extremely tight, not caring about his feeling, and thanking him softly as I whispered to him, Thanks, I owe you one~
Now all that's left is to get the train safely to section C subway.... I pray for my well-being.

((OOC: Azelle, I don't remember any alternative routes to the island, also, Sanada and Xmine are trying to interact their characters, don't just try to break up their chance. Just join them or something, instead of cooking up toxic that will horribly make things worse, worse in the way of actual RPing. In short... what the fuck are you doing?!))
GM notes:
Hanasaku: Iteyui almost falls off in the train and hugs a man close to her tight for assistance from falling. Her chest squeezed him and he... went into a daze and he almost drooled. He may be lost in delight. The train soon reaches it's destination. And Iteyui couldn't believe just how fast that train actually was. People soon flooded out as the doors opened clear automatically upon arrival. The train captain announced: We've reached uppermost-left part of Section C... please make sure that your valuables are safe with you. And please, take care and don't get bitten by... them, as it was said on the news and announcements, the two evacuation locations are the Harbor on Section H and the Airport on Section A . We wish you all luck. Police officers awaits you all outside the station. Please follow their instructions, a rather different type of a response in contrast to all the ones that were heard before. Furthermore, the voice sounded different, it probably wasn't the computerized female voice as always, it was an middle-aged male's voice.
Iteyui came out of the train, yet to make her next move as the crowd of people went ahead.
I've taken a shower, all the sweat from running and walking, I washed them off with the cool and relaxing water that washed down my white, creamy skin. Ahh... this truly feels good. So relaxing... a sigh escaped my rosy lips as I closed my eyes in comfort. A lot has happened tonight. From a pleasing party to a bloody-dancing one. I may have missed the second ball of the second party, but I'm sure that I'll have more to attend to in the near future. The plane is yet to take off; their list of passengers is not complete yet, apparently they're waiting for those people, if it's confirmed that they got injected or just died - the plane will soon take off after letting normal people board the plane. Though, I wonder what's going on though... how did all this start with just that gene? Is it really the fault of that thing alone? Just what were they doing with it? Even Jacob doesn't know, and now Nikon is missing. I don't understand this situation!
The transparent door was opened as my tiny palms swing them open, as I soon come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my slender figure; from chest to thighs, and a steam of vapor poured out from the bathroom. I look around and find the remote, then switch the TV on. Lots of live broadcasts and news everywhere, keeping up to date with the events. No wonder, seems boring. Upon wondering through the myriad of channels, I suddenly came across the channel showing what happened in the bridge leading to Section H a while ago. Then I see a guy claiming to be a diplomat and a another guy trying to get him out of it with words, along with a little girl; holding hands. I hear a slight noise of vibration and I realize that my cell phone is ringing in it's silent mode. Upon picking it up... ugh. Well what do you know, it's the founder of Fakku City, I answer the call. I am greeted by a frantic question: "Did you board the plane or not?"
I simply answered 'yes' and then I questioned him about about the paper, about the claim of diplomat - whether the list was wrong or was it really a false claim - and lastly regarding Nikon. No new information, just the same old, except that the guy with a scar on his left eye is no diplomat, just a desperate man. I am told that he's in a different plane, a private, exclusive, or something. I didn't bother asking more details. I've had a somewhat conversation with him following that, about what I did and what he did to get to the evacuation areas; it seems that he had his own share of problems too. And apparently; he secretly had the a subway's train services start up with an automated computer operating it, it had no actual operators, and it's function was to basically transfer people from over Section E to Section D, a location from the which the road to the bridge was quite close, since the people operating it left before his men got there, they decided to turn up the automation mode. Another subway was turned up after lead people from Section G to Section C's station, except that it had real people operating it, they are scheduled to abandon their duty after about thirty minutes... sounds rather late.
After I put down my phone. I continued to look at the TV, it's crazy out there. People are going mad and it seems that most have either lost a family member or two, or lovers. Even worse is that some of them are rioting against the police and army. Crazy people... they have nothing better to do? We already have it worse with a group of people acting like cults in there. I yawn, I'll admit in my mind now, humans were more entertaining when they did things like these in the past. Now it just got plain boring. As I think like that, I see something different, some odd things were recording outside the defense line, a herd of thugs getting killed by zombies alive and an explosion soon after that. That must be the source of the loud noise I've heard back when I was walking to the airport. Hah. he barricade will be screwed, at this rate... and just that moment, a live broadcast flooded the recorded videos - a large amount of the dead attacked. The vision soon blurred out white while the lady reporting the news kept babbling in pure fear.
And so the night continued...

Well what do you know, it's the founder of Fakku City, I answer the call. I am greeted by a frantic question: "Did you board the plane or not?"
I simply answered 'yes' and then I questioned him about about the paper, about the claim of diplomat - whether the list was wrong or was it really a false claim - and lastly regarding Nikon. No new information, just the same old, except that the guy with a scar on his left eye is no diplomat, just a desperate man. I am told that he's in a different plane, a private, exclusive, or something. I didn't bother asking more details. I've had a somewhat conversation with him following that, about what I did and what he did to get to the evacuation areas; it seems that he had his own share of problems too. And apparently; he secretly had the a subway's train services start up with an automated computer operating it, it had no actual operators, and it's function was to basically transfer people from over Section E to Section D, a location from the which the road to the bridge was quite close, since the people operating it left before his men got there, they decided to turn up the automation mode. Another subway was turned up after lead people from Section G to Section C's station, except that it had real people operating it, they are scheduled to abandon their duty after about thirty minutes... sounds rather late.
After I put down my phone. I continued to look at the TV, it's crazy out there. People are going mad and it seems that most have either lost a family member or two, or lovers. Even worse is that some of them are rioting against the police and army. Crazy people... they have nothing better to do? We already have it worse with a group of people acting like cults in there. I yawn, I'll admit in my mind now, humans were more entertaining when they did things like these in the past. Now it just got plain boring. As I think like that, I see something different, some odd things were recording outside the defense line, a herd of thugs getting killed by zombies alive and an explosion soon after that. That must be the source of the loud noise I've heard back when I was walking to the airport. Hah. he barricade will be screwed, at this rate... and just that moment, a live broadcast flooded the recorded videos - a large amount of the dead attacked. The vision soon blurred out white while the lady reporting the news kept babbling in pure fear.
And so the night continued...

((Whoops, sorry. Doesn't mean it to be like that.))
It would be easy to reach them silently if only I don't see more zombies are coming from other directions. Hmmm, they're quite fast to attend the party. This makes me can't be sure to bring that woman along. Too risky.
I decide to re-assess the situation from behind an empty van, keeping attention to the woman and man. There're no zombies near me, but several already spawned from the road where I came before. Another two are moving near the sedan, but surely the man can outdone them in time.
Hmm, to think again, the only way that has seemingly fewer zombies are the road with those flaming zombies. Not to mention, that road leads to the Harbor. Since those flaming zombies are setting their eyes on the man and woman, I might be able to slip past them unnotice... Or trying to outrun them again. I'd rather not fighting them while they're still in blaze like that, so sneaking past them is preferable. It's quite unfortunate to leave her, but she might be safer with that bowman at the moment.
"... Here goes nothing again...", I sighed while moving slowly to get past the flaming zombies' siege.

i should just die
I emerge from the subway. Well, that was a... embarrassing experience, to say the least...
I'm in a foreign area, not because I've never visited section C before-- I did, a couple of times with my father a long time ago-- but rather, because of the fact that this Section C is one that I don't know of. It's another world. Streetlamps were out, the roads were terrible, with littered trash, and even bodies could be seen lying. It was blocked with many a cars, presumably people giving up trying to drive to either of the evac spots. My hopes to get to a safe area were immediately dashed, when I saw the crowd of the train disappearing into the fog of darkness, then shouts or screams could be heard, and then emerging from the fog as one of the walking dead. The police were doing a bad job at assisting the terror. Is this what the police actually do? Just representations of authority and nothing else? Can't even resolve the issue of chaos....
"I can't believe this....." I said to myself in disbelief after examining the situation and looking at the living dead for the very first time. I heave out a sigh and decided that this would be fate, it's going to happen, might as well face the music..... I let down my haversack, took out a piece of bread and some water.
Leaning against a pillar I began to down the water like I've never drank in 10 years, and started on my food with the same enthusiasm. It never occurred to me that being hungry could make a bland piece of bread so much more than it could've been. After downing both the bread and water alternatively, and properly disposing of the trash, I had only one ration of water left. Means I have to find help quick, I thought to myself.
I then took out my means of combat- my gunblade, still wrapped in newspaper to avoid unnecessary injuries, and swung it around a few times to measure it's weight. It isn't too heavy, but it could seriously hinder my ability to run in dire situations. Not that I'd be in one anyways. I haven't tried out the 'gun' part of the gunblade, I a held it up at mid-air and looked down from the sights. This could seriously hurt one of them... I made sure that I wasn't shooting to avoid attracting any more living dead then I already am, and soon I started to make my way to the main road, the only way to the airport, where many other could have been waiting for m----------
Wait.... I....I've been forgetting what's most important to me in my entire life... yes... Father... Shit, I have to go find him in section D... but it's cordoned off and the police are going by any means to stop me from going inside, if I did I'll be considered an offender... I stood still. As still as a still river on a still body. My silver hair danced with the wind, forming a melody of reservation that I couldn't stand. So I turned away in rejection, trying my best not to show my tears. I hid away in the shadows, proceeding to the main road, now turned into a walk of shame; for no matter what I do, I cannot overcome this sense of guilt that has poisoned me, stained my heart, for now it's turning rotten, and ultimately fogging my ability to make right from wrong.
Gritting my teeth in anger I took out my cell and dialed Father for the last 3 times. Trying to message him only yielded with a no-subject 'Where are you? Please come back, I really need you...' I sent this twice.
I laughed at myself. What a pity. I'm needing him at this moment yet I'm doing nothing to help him. I'm at the peak of uselessness.
In the midst of running, I broke down. I couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I'm sorry, Father...." I whimpered as I tried to diverge the stream of tears.
"Forgive me.... I'll always remember..." I whispered for the last time as I held the gunblade pressed against my chest.
Feelings deterred, emotions swayed, I continue to run.

Uther didn't looked at the time when he was in the car. All that he has in mind is to get to the evacuation point as fast as he can. He knew the fastest way is to go to the center of area D, but he thought to him self that area D might be crowded with those black figures by now.
"Hey, Kotori, check the back of the car will you? There might be some rations or something else on the back." said Uther to Kotori while driving the newly stolen car.
Without saying anything Kotori went to the back to check if anything useful could be found. While looking she found a tools box and a bag with a couple of candies. "The only useful thing back here is the tool box." She said as she open the window to throw out the bag of candies.
"ah, great find. Good girl." Uther said while driving the car and trying to avoid hitting the empty vehicles on the road. "Wait, don't throw the candy away!" Uther shouts as he saw Kotori about to throw the candy away. "Candy is good for your body, atleast to calm your head down. You can't be too stiff about this kind of event." Said Uther while asking for a piece of candy.
"If you say so" Kotori says as she gives the bag to Uther. Kotori opens the box and examines what kind of tools it contain. After a examing for a bit she closes the box. "I'm taking a nap, wake me up if anything comes up." Kotori said as she laid down in the back seat.
"ah, thanks Kotori." Uther then took the bag from Kotori's small hand and takes one candy. He the put the bag down beside him and throws the candy on his hand into his mouth. "Have a nice sleep, little girl." Uther said as he played around with the candy in his mouth.
Well, she's still small, around 11 to 14 years?. I guess it's normal for her to take a rest. I mean, with this sudden event, even if she's trained. It can be quite a shock. It's probably a bad idea to ask where or what happened to her family right now. Uther thought to him self as he saw Kotori sleeping silently on the back seat using the glass in the car.
As Kotori tried to sleep she wonder what had become of her father. He was usually always on time whenever he set up a meeting he was neither ever early nor late. I wonder if he became a victim of this experiment Kotori thought to herself. "I wish I was the one who took him out" Kotori said in a low voice.
Uther heard what Kotori said he was confused what she meant. Took him out, her pet? No way, why would she dream about her pet? Does she even have a pet? Uther then thought up the most logical thing in his mind, her family. "It's going to be alright, Kotori. We'll find your family at the airport soon." Said Uther in a low soft voice, trying to calm her down.
The streets were still empty. No signs of life nor death. only abandoned vehicles and few traces of blood on the road. Uther took a glimpse of his watch. It's 9:57. It was almost 10 PM that night. The airport is still far from reach.

((OOC This is a joint post between: Zandorf and TheLoneGentleman.))
As Kris and Kahori walked with the crowd she asked him a question about what he said. Crouching down so that he was at her level he thought about what he wanted to say. "Currently yes I am your guardian, but when this is all over. Whenever that may be. Don't you have a family you want to return to?" asked Kris. He thought about what he just said. Did he even have a family to return to? In all this could he really expect for all of his family to have escaped? he thought. It was painful to think about, but going to each and every family that was in the city was out of the question. The best plan was for everyone to follow the evacuation orders and get the hell out of that city.
"I told you before Kris, that I had no family. I lived all alone in the Library for all of my life.", Kahori said to Kris. She reached up a hand to pat his head, seeing how distressed his face was getting. I wonder if he is worried about his family, if he has a family. If he wouldn't mind, I would like to be a part of his family. He seems like he's a really good guy, and is capable of leading me in the right direction with my life.
It was hard for him to think about a little girl alone for that long. Who would just leave their kid in a library eating pages out of the books. If he ever did find out who her parents were he would be less than polite. As he felt Kahori's hand on his head he actually started to calm down. He needed to be strong for the both of them if he was going to protect her. "Alright then Kahori. From now on I'll be your guardian. But bear with me I'm new at this," said Kris standing up. "How is that leg doing now?"
"My leg? Oh, right. My leg. It felt fine for a bit now and I didn't even notice. Probably due to the account of me being tired from all this walking. This is the most I've ever walked in my entire life so far. I'm just used to sitting in the Library reading books all day.”, Kahori said as she still leaned onto Kris for support.
Seeing that her leg was doing alot better made Kris feel relieved. "Looks like your leg is going to be just fine," said Kris looking down as she moves her foot around. Suddenly there was a man yelling nearby. From the small conversations in the crowd the man had apparently claimed to be a diplomat in order to get to safety. In this chaos if Kris didn't have the experience he had now he too might have tried to lie his way to safety.
Moving a little closer to the scene with Kahori he got a look at the man as he was being taken into the sedan. " Let's see if I can do something. The military has more important things to do at the moment." said Kris. Walking up to the soldiers Kris waited for them to notice him. "Don't you have other things to be worrying about. The man was obviously in a bad spot. Why not cut him some slack? More time should be spent getting the rest of these people through the checkpoint,"advised Kris. In this chaos the last thing the military needs to be doing is wasting its time on is petty things like this. That sound being one of them. Someone had gone and set off some sort of explosion. If these things were as perceptive as he saw before then that was pretty much the dinner bell...
GM notes:
Zandorf: Kahori is asked whether her foot is alright or not. Her stream of throught is broken and she looks down at her foot and moves it around a bit to confirm. A dice will be rolled to check to see if her pain has subsided with her Dexterity attribute. 5 is required.
Dice result: 6
2 + 6 = 8
(Your character's pain has subsided completely. However, she just realized that she's slightly tired of all the running and limping. This is probably the first time she had to run so much in her life. Bonus: Your character is good to go even for running by now, doubts on her long her stamina can last, though)
TheLoneGentleman: Bloody Kris attempted to persuade the military personnel to let go of The Samurai in his sorry state as such a situation doesn't quite warrent arresting him. A dice will be rolled to test the Social attribute to see if the personnel are convinced of his words, 5 is required.
Dice result: 4
1 + 4 = 5
(Your character receives a scowl from an officer and feels a somewhat form of hatred coming from the man, however, he reluctantly agrees and says that if anything bad happens due to The Samurai, it is his responsibility to bare.)

I sat in the sedan, my mind racing a million thoughts a second; I'd gone and done it again, so quickly after making up my mind to be a better person. Why do I always do terrible things to good people? Am I evil? Am I to blame? My father surely would not be proud of a boy; I could not call myself a man, who tried to lie his way out of a situation where real people were getting hurt.
I hurt people. That seems to be who I am. I need to change so badly, or I don’t know how I can continue to live. Am I really alive right now? What is living? Before today, before now, I would have answered that question simply and plainly as enjoying every moment of life. How can you enjoy this life? Are we truly still alive? Are those, things, they call zombies alive?
I was thinking of a time in the dojo, my father was there, and he was instructing me on the use of a bamboo sword. After I got the jist of it, he jumped straight to sparring with him; of course he was going easy but only enough to avoid hurting me. After he landed a blow on my ankle I fell to the floor, faking an injury, and he quickly rushed over to me with concern. I’ll never forget the look on his face as I struck him down; it was not the face of a proud father, or the face of a betrayed sensei; it was the face of utter disappointment. That was the first time I lied to hurt people.
In the midst of my thoughts a man came up to the sedan I was locked in; I couldn't hear his words but he seemed to have influence over the military as they released me after speaking with him. Who was this man? He was accompanied by an unexpected companion, a girl that looked at most 14 or 15 years of age.
What was going on?

I let my arrow fly in the direction of the so-called zombies, but I'm off the mark. It lands a good distance away from them, but my device goes off as the arrow lands and a fairly large explosion, like that of a hand grenade. While the zombies haven't been instantly disintegrated, the explosion leaves them engulfed in flames. They walk about, seemingly directionless until I hear a scream come from the woman.
The young woman, who was already on the other side of the road, screamed as she tripped and dropped the flashlight she was holding. Then, all of a sudden, the zombies almost seem to turn towards her, but not for long as the flames have burned them to the ground leaving nothing but ashes.
Hm...? I notice something a bit awkward about the zombies that had just turned to ash.
Then, almost immediately after the zombies had turned to ash, I see another pair of the same decrepit, black bodies making their way from the same direction the zombies that the thugs fought came from. The woman, who was probably still recovering from her first encounter, saw the zombies. She looked more than flustered; she looked borderline breaking down. She began to scream and started fumbling through her bag.
Things were already set in motion; I knew what I had to do.
I clicked the button on my black canister at my side once again to dispense another device into my hand. I rush towards the abandoned car ahead of me that the girl had just fled from.
I have even less time to do this now, and it'll require a bit more work to set it up, but those zombies, I can bet that they primarily use their sense of hearing. They only ran towards the girl once she shot at them, after the explosion, they only made their way to her once she screamed. Even now, enough though I'm closer, they aren't going after me, but the woman because she was screaming. If I can just set this to be a time bomb...
I fumble around with the device, frantically trying to set it up. A turn of the dial, a press of a couple buttons, and another turn, and I lock the settings. But... to my dismay, I've set it far too quickly neglecting one of the scientists' core principles of being careful. It's set to 30 seconds upon activating it.
...Using another bomb would not only be costly, but time consuming. Those zombies were making their way to the girl as I'm standing around.
I press a button on the device and I throw it into the abandoned car. Then, I make a mad dash across the road. I had to get to the woman no matter what. That explosion would cover more than just the length of a street. If we make can make it, we'll be safe from both the fact that the zombies will be distracted or blown up, as well as any new zombies, which would be drawn to the persisting sound of the burning car.
GM notes:
Xminebreaker: Cliff attempted to set up a time bomb inside the abandoned car in order to divert the direction at which the zombies go. A dice is to be rolled to test his Intelligence attribute, 6 is required.
Dice result: 1
4 + 1 = 5
(Your character accidentally sets it up to blow is about 30 seconds. He has to run hard to not get himself killed.)
Cliff gives a mad dash to the woman across the street who may get blown away by the explosion from the bomb. He attempts to reach and save her. A dice will be rolled to test his Dexterity attribute, 4 is required.
Dice result: 5
1 + 5 = 6
(Your character manages to save the woman... by literally carrying her in his arms and dashing towards the harbor, past the zombies. All the zombies could do was look towards your character, as if confused, as the explosion soon takes place.)
The young woman, who was already on the other side of the road, screamed as she tripped and dropped the flashlight she was holding. Then, all of a sudden, the zombies almost seem to turn towards her, but not for long as the flames have burned them to the ground leaving nothing but ashes.
Hm...? I notice something a bit awkward about the zombies that had just turned to ash.
Then, almost immediately after the zombies had turned to ash, I see another pair of the same decrepit, black bodies making their way from the same direction the zombies that the thugs fought came from. The woman, who was probably still recovering from her first encounter, saw the zombies. She looked more than flustered; she looked borderline breaking down. She began to scream and started fumbling through her bag.
Things were already set in motion; I knew what I had to do.
I clicked the button on my black canister at my side once again to dispense another device into my hand. I rush towards the abandoned car ahead of me that the girl had just fled from.
I have even less time to do this now, and it'll require a bit more work to set it up, but those zombies, I can bet that they primarily use their sense of hearing. They only ran towards the girl once she shot at them, after the explosion, they only made their way to her once she screamed. Even now, enough though I'm closer, they aren't going after me, but the woman because she was screaming. If I can just set this to be a time bomb...
I fumble around with the device, frantically trying to set it up. A turn of the dial, a press of a couple buttons, and another turn, and I lock the settings. But... to my dismay, I've set it far too quickly neglecting one of the scientists' core principles of being careful. It's set to 30 seconds upon activating it.
...Using another bomb would not only be costly, but time consuming. Those zombies were making their way to the girl as I'm standing around.
I press a button on the device and I throw it into the abandoned car. Then, I make a mad dash across the road. I had to get to the woman no matter what. That explosion would cover more than just the length of a street. If we make can make it, we'll be safe from both the fact that the zombies will be distracted or blown up, as well as any new zombies, which would be drawn to the persisting sound of the burning car.

Where is it... Where's my ammunition? It's too dark in my bag, I can't see it without flashlight. I have to reload my gun quick, before they kill me...
Suddenly I feel someone touched my shoulder. "Kyaa!!" I turn around and that man is behind me. When did he...
He don't give me a chance to think for a second. He grabs my butt and legs, lifts me up and starts to carrying me on his arms. This position, like prince carrying a princess... Wait that's not the problem in here! I tried to push him away but he's starts to run away, while carrying me on his arms. Few moments later, another explosion occurs. I cover my ear and hug him on reflex. Dad... Help me
My calmness finally returns. This man, he risked his life to safe me.
...I think I can trust this man.

i should just die
As I approached the airport, I took the opportunity to examine my the visual scenery.
The night, painted black, sprinkled white with stars, is now approaching to the end. Soon it will be midnight which takes over. I turn and look at the deep blue sky. It seemed like a giant observatory, and with it, small licks of flame arise, with asphalt pillars of smoke, from the ground, naturally destroying, or if not, creating a blend of autumn hue in the atmosphere. The buildings, not devoid of life nor light, are now just decorations spread across the city. The whole of Fakku City is trying to get to the airport or the harbor. I have to act fast, I realized. As I loom in the shadows of shelter, where the danger of encountering the living dead is on the rise, I silenced the echo of my steps and proceeded onward to the airport. From afar, a chaotic demonstration of people against the government is being conducted. Although appeased, the line of people that wanted to get into the airport was longer that I imagined anything it would've been.
"Amazing...." I gaped as I stood in awe of what behold.
Nevertheless, I joined the long queue for liberty. I looked around.
The police seem to be working hard on cordoning off the area just outside the airport. Yes, that's where the queue reached. Shouts can be heard from every direction as the rioting between the citizens and the government moved along the queue. Pathetic. These people wanted to oppose, yet still wanted to be in the queue? I laughed to myself. They're like me. Just scared and alone.
Soon the abominations came to the barricades surrounding the area, and the police.... were somewhat unfaltering, to say. Some were just plain scared and ran for their lives, just as their sergeant screamed at them not to back down as that would result in the death of many, not just the police. That's actually a good thing. They silenced their firearms, if they used it, and it meant that it wouldn't have attracted any more attention that we already were getting.
All of a sudden, a flight assistant came out from the airport and approached the crowd. Using a megaphone, she announced:
"Chinoiro....Iteyui, is it? Please come forward...."
What? My name? What does she want with me?
Not knowing what to expect, I stepped forward.
"Ah, there you are. Please come this way...."
"What's this for....?"
"You'll know soon enough, miss. Please stay clam for the time being."
How did she know I was agitated? Weird.
The bespectacled lady, with auburn brown hair down to her waist, which was unbelievingly narrow, in a business blazer and office skirt, escorted my into the building.
As I emerged from the crowd following the beautiful lady inside, I could feel a whir of a thousand stares from behind. I didn't dare to look behind. The riots became more powerful.
"This way, please...."

Hanasaku: The lady with her spectacles shining in faint light came forward and asked Iteyui to follow her calmly, after asking her to calm down. A woman with an air of complete composure; that's the type of impression she'd make on almost anyone. Perhaps, a trained profession, she is, one would only take such a guess from first glance. As she lead Iteyui to the airport while the prying eyes fell over them from behind, the two soon entered the halls where many could be seen desperately trying to board the planes.
Iteyui is then given a briefing for why she was called, after having her face the calm lady, "Your father has requested your absolute safety, and we couldn't really deny his request. Hence, arrangements were made for your transfer. I was supposed to call you at your home but it seems that you went out by the time I gave the call. So we had to look search around for you via the security cameras installed throughout the city, and we finally located you behind the long queue," the lady then sighs.
She then readjusts her glasses, "Since it was hard to get an seat in an airplane prepared for you, we took a rather drastic measure to ensure your safety. And that is basically... getting approval of having you board an expensive plane, in one of it's many luxurious rooms, to be exact. However, please be noted that the room is NOT YOURS," she looked around herself as if to confirm that the both are not being eavesdropped upon.
"It is a... wealthy princess's room, who is quite close to the founder... That aside, you'll be in her care. I hope you wouldn't mind it, but she has approved so, I think all is well, personally, I think you should be a bit careful around her, however, she may just be the finest companion to have, currently. As for your father - before you ask - he's working his hardest in the Harbor, we can only hope that he'll be alright. Anyway, I think it's about to go."
Iteyui then walks with the lady once again, for more than ten minutes, a long distance is passed. Soon, she is lead into the airplane that she's supposed to board in. A fine environment is seen no matter where she looked. It was truly designed for the rich and wealthy. Almost everything she saw in there made her wonder just how much they had cost. An air hostess leads Iteyui to the room she's supposed to be going to. The door is knocked by the woman...
