Hello again. I was TDS during v4. Don't quite know how "back" I am but I'm checking in regardless.

The mall was just as busy as it ever was. It seemed the kidnapping had done little to stop everyone's fun... Or perhaps the rescue brought it back? Sam wasn't nearly as cheery as anyone else here seemed to be, but that was to be expected given what happened over the past few weeks. In the time since...

Sam shifted uncomfortably in her seat for a few moments before answering, "I'm not in college right now, just working to pay my share of the rent and trying mostly unsuccessfully to put past unpleasantness behind me." She rose to her feet, "Sorry again, I don't think I'm really in the...

Ericka walked over to each spot that looked like a suitable hiding place and checked them. She tried not to drop her guard, but her attention was divided. There were too many hiding places, she was beginning to think that she wouldn't be able to check all of them before she got herself noticed, espe...

"I'm sorry," Sam replied, "I didn't realize you were another survivor. I thought you were one of our so-called ' fans .'" She turned to look at the boy, "I'm Sam Ridley; I left from the north beach, but I played soccer, so you may have recognized me from that. Anyway, what h...

Ericka moved to the front door of the house next to her and turned the doorknob; looking over her shoulder nervously. The door creaked open and she peered into the inky darkness, and it certainly was dark. It was darker than the last few houses, at least, probably caused by poor window placement, ti...

((Ericka Bradley continued from We Need To Stop Meeting Like This )) It was almost over. They'd been here for almost two weeks but now it was almost over; it seemed longer. Ericka entered the backyard of a house through its busted wooden fence. She was cutting through the town's yards and alleys to ...

Sam sighed. Without looking at the boy she replied.

"You might. I went to Bayview last year. You might have seen me on.... Sorry, I'm just not over it...."

The girl tumbled backwards into the water. Ericka's relief at having finally ended this particular battle quickly subsided as she realized the Pyrrhic nature of the victory. Her gun was either on the girl or in her bag and they had all gone into the damn ocean. Ericka stared in dismay at the ocean. ...

A little later than hoped, but still in time, Ericka ran onto the dock, following the girl. The dock's creaking announced her arrival to her prey, who looked like she was trying to reload. Better yet, it also appeared that Ericka's blind shot had hit her, luck had proven to be a really important att...

So this gun did work and the safety was indeed off, good. Ericka looked around for where her prey was hiding, and soon got her answer when the girl started shooting back from the shed that Ericka had shot at. Ericka quickly ran into the shack to avoid the bullets. She peered out and saw the girl mov...

She reached the shack she hid inside earlier and peaked in the window. It didn't look like the other girl was inside. She was likely nearby however, so it would be a good idea to get inside quickly. Since she wasn't getting shot at here, and it was conceivable that she could get shot at while trying...

Ericka recapped her situation to herself trying to think of a solution, her primary gun rest in her enemy's hands, and her primary close quarters weapon vanished in her panic. She wasn't completely weaponless, but her secondary weapons were in her bag and much closer to her opponent then she was. If...

((GMing approved by Rocky.)) Staying hidden, Ericka watched closely as the girl stepped off of the dock. She clutched her knife as the girl walked past her toward the spot where the rock landed. She got up and crept behind the girl, her knife raised up high, ready to strike. When she got close she s...

((Samantha Ridley continued from Done With This )) Summer in Atlanta, Georgia. Sam sat on a bench overlooking the lake. It was a beautiful day, for sure, and Sam didn't have anywhere to be. The only thing that she had to do was probably eat, since she hadn't had lunch yet. She pulled her long hair b...
