Well I am suspecting that they act sort fo as a mind for all the useless little Zed. Sort of like tehy telepathically communicate with them adn horde them around as acting as theiur masters. Akin to teh Archdemon controlling the Darkspwan in DAO.

Mouse pretty much nailed it. There are 4 of those 'Nightstalkers' roaming, sunlight burns their eyes out. It doesn't actually kill them, but they'll go blind... Which doesn't really change much.
Also, they can only contact Zed or infected... Any warning lights yet? Don't worry about it though, special case, I'm not going to jump you all as a zombie. I'm not that much of a dike.

I know we have people posting but it seems a bit slow, I'll wait for another post in the IC before I go ahead and try and spice it up a bit. I'm not gonna get us killed, but I'm not gonna make it a breeze. First night should have a break in I think...

Why are they called Nightstalkers, that would be what the stealthy ones that ambush you, they needs a new name.

Also please dont make them actually able to speak and stuff, maybe like one can do that, I really dont think they should be able to actually say, "go tot hsi room and butcher teh inhabitants," IMO they should use sort of pictures adn a simple intelligence to communicate with the Zed, liek they flash a picture of the building adn maybe hallways adn the Zed sort of get it. Althought they could eb super smart or something.

Also, how in god's name did your character get infected, last I see they did not bite him, they did contact him physically, but if that infects you, Ima have to rethink my whole Super Sledge Idea.

He didn't get infected, I never said he did... There's something deeper to it. And I only called them nightstalkers because someone up thar called them that, and they stalk the night. XD

They don't speak through words normally, not to their fellow Zed. The conversation with this one between my character and it is special for a reason that's hard to explain until we cross that bridge.

Okely Dokesters

Bump, somebody wanna post in the IC.

My apologiez Francois, at the time I was very irritated that you were gone, I know myself to leave for up to a week without notice, so I should have given you more time to come back, but it was just that all the recent Rp's I've been in since I cane back to the forums went to [censored], and I had finally found a FULLY FLEDGED, NEW, WELL OPERATED, PERSISTENT

Rp going and I refused to let this one die. I;ll probably have to retract my Grayditch sign up. I don't like how long their taking wither (even though I can see that they all see my CS). Plus hace a couple im planning to unleash. Anyways, even though I've been checking this every day I didn't notice an IC update. And I have no idea what these NightStalkers are. I'll check it all out

And Francois, you have to be careful about giving our characters emotions, we might not all have wanted to look sheepish at that moment. Its minor, but still. And why is it that all of us looked sheepish but you didn't, and chuckled. What you trynna say, sir?

Two more things:

We need to right here plan out who's doing what. I opt for scout or leader depending on who gets picked for what.

I do want to go to the bank next door when dawn reaches (and consider me out if anyone has other plans, because this is an important quest for me). My sister is in there, or Brian I mean. So that's my chars plans.

I personally dont agree that things should be so concrete at this point, to me there are a few thigns we obviously need to do.

1. Gather Ammunition, Food, Water, Medical and Building Supplie, and some communication tools ASAP (likely though, we wont be able to recover everythign we want.
2. Secure our position, as of now, the protectrons are likely going to be close to broken as they repelled the nights attack. So We should retreat to the top floor, and secure all the rooms, then barricade the stairwell's and elevators and fire escapes basically so that no Zed can enter without us knowing. SO we can use anything, after all we have an entire apartment complex worth of furniture adn materials that we can use to build barricades.
3. Once we have a good portion of supplies and and a decent base, we can begin to reclaim other floors as well as continue to scavenge for materials that can eb of use and recruit survivors.

Because right now we dont really need a designated, scav team, doctor, or repairman, we just need everyone to start doing stuff nto get all up tight about who leads what. Plus we have what... six people, not really enough to create designated position.

I VOTE MOUSE AS LEADER

You had my plans down to a tee. I already had planned to begin to scavenge after Brian looked for his sister. BUt considering thats his blood but obviously he wouldn't bring that up because he needs to get his sister first. Also, you didn't even have to tell us that here. You could of stepped up and done it yourself, just IC all of that. As far as different jobs, run that by Francois cause he brought it up. I'm more than willing to pitch in with threat, just know that the RP will get boring for the other RP'ers. I guess we could separate it to those who want action, who can come with me. And those who elect to stay.

I agree with mouse. We need to setup and secure the complex.

I'm waiting for you guys to proclaim what you wanna be in IC... I guess that's my job to say we need something now? XD My character's not a leader, but I have all the plans. Whoever's the leader should start a PM convo with me about stuff, ask if it's right to do it... Odds on, ANYTHING you guys do won't screw up my plans. This is gonna be a long RP, but for that fact it doesn't need to have posts all the time. But I do admit, the IC is going slow... With sudden bursts. More consistent posting maybe? You can do stuff without me, I give permission for that, just don't do anything OP or groundbreaking.

On that note... IC here I come!

Well my character is gonna explain what he thinks we should do. Which is basically what I said OOC, expect that around 4 O'Clock when I get back form school, my lunch break (which I am on right now) Is most definitely nto long enough to post.

Posted.

Though my character really didn't get around to doing much, I hope he proved a point. Mostly, it's just a reality check to make sure you people don't start doing dumb things, like trying to get in a meelee fight with the infected... Oh. Wait.

Anyways, I'll be posting pretty consistently as long as there's some active people between my novels of text.

Xivilai i love your novels. They are so perfect. I'll probably post me clearing the apartment a little later.

Awww... That brings a tear to me eyes...

I actually have a Fanfic typed up in microsoft word, but I don't want to spam up the forums right now with more text.

But anyways, I'd suggest you guys move into a more secure location than just that small little appartment. Since the Armory is in the basment, along with a buttload of other vital things to make the appartment running, I suggest locking that down so that the infected can't muck up stuff down there. I would also suggest making sure that elevator into the basemant is secure as well, that way you have easy and safe access to it.

For the actual HQ, I would really suggest securing the top most floor, where all the VIPs and important people get to lounge. Usually, this kind of floor has a guarded or secure entrance, access to the roof or balconies, and access to equipment and computers that most apartments usually don't have. Also, the VIP or business floor of the appartment complex usually is stocked with it's own kitchen and other commodoties for the important guests, so I think it would make a fabulous HQ for surviving the second apocolypse.

This is, of course, after you all figure out who's doing what.

Reidster, that was a touching post, but be careful how you address the crying bit. It seems a whole lot of writers do this now, just suddenly get bipolar and go into fits of sobbing very quickly with no foreshadowing. Then, they go back to blank stares. It all seemed drafted and rushed. Instead of typing "tears were streaming", just announce that his "eyes had begun to water", or that "his throat had begun to swell as his emotions began to surface" something like that...

Thanks for the feedback Ant. I don't have to much time during the week to post(school and sports) so they are usually rushed. Since its the weekend I should probably get in some better posts.

Sorry about my absence, I haven't checked the IC yet. *Embarrassment* My internet's been all screwy for the last two days and I haven't been able to do anything on my normal schedule so I completely forgot about Bethesda for a bit. I only got reminded by seeing Josh on my MSN list. <.<

Anyway, I don't think I'll be able to post for a bit, until my internet gets back up as it takes ages to load anything and... Well... <.< I'll get around to it soon, will check IC. Basically you have free reign until I get back, just don't do anything stupid.

THE RP IS NOT DEAD, if any of you think that so help me I will come to your house and give you a cookie. MADE OF BABIES

I apologize for my absence everyone, I feel I have failed my duties as co-GM. But like John Marston I feel I need to redeem myself. I will start to once again get active in the RP.

I've only been gone a day, but the reason for that was actually because I had prom yesterday, and my friends spent the night at my house, and some left leate so I had to stay up). It's all calmed down now though.

Hope your prom went well Ant, and cool after-party by the sounds.
My internet svcks but I feel bad if I don't frequent this, so I'll stick around as much as I can and dedicate all my internet to this. So if you wanna bounce anything off me, chuck me a PM or stick it in here... Seriously, no one's asking any questions about anything and it's making me feel like you either already know everything [which is impossible] or you don't care.

What are we supposed to ask you? :huh:

EDIT: Also, has everyone said their piece on the plan, since it was dawn I was going to write a IC post about me sort of tryign to organise us in to scav teams and then myself and whoever I was pairewd with would head out and do our stuff

I think you better get set in more before sending out the scavenger teams, considering the appartments are stocked with some food and the basemant has yet to be fully explored.

In order to keep the timeframe realistic, you should probably give a short little blurb about moving furniture to barricade the place where your HQ is, and securing a few other things.
