Act V

Posting this AGAIN because blogspot is retarded and makes me want to cut myself when it undoes my formatting and then saves without asking me or giving me a way to undo it.

Act V

            Voting on Xi being allowed to stay

                        Will votes “shoot the little bastard”

                        Others pretty much think the kid isn’t safe to have around

                        Raph is a giant fag and thinks they shouldn’t send him away

            Maybe they bring up Xi’s bag and the fact that it’s filled with pills and

            the kid is dying and doesn’t have family/friends/anything to lose

                        Will was probably the one to search Xi’s bag earlier

            Xi overhears this assery and fucks off before they can kick him out

                        Or Raph decides they need care and share time or some shit

                        He takes Lou’s shotgun with him because he’s grown fond of it

            Tape recorder left behind on table

            Guys decide to listen to the tape

            It’s been set to a nice little goodbye message

                        Xi rambling about how - I’m not going to stick around to see if

                        you’re going to vote me off the island, I have better things to do

                        you know like- wait.. wait I should start this thing over like....

                        Stardate uh.... wait what the fuck is the date anyway that stupid

                        bastard has a watch, right? And it’s...... uh.... it’s earlier than I

                        thought it was. Shit. That means..... summer semester isn’t over

                        yet. Dammit. Uh.... right. See you losers later. Be-Tee-Dubs, Lou,

                        your shotgun is awesome so I’m taking it. Xi out.

            They listen to the rest of the tape and it flashes back to Xi recording

            things “for science”

                        Wondering whether the disease can be transferred by blood

                        hitting your eye

                                    Decides to wear welding helmet just in case

                        Easiest way to kill the zombies (through trial and error and

                        recording different results)

                                    Beheading – messy but effective

                                    Blunt force trauma (to head) – effective

                                    Electricity – unreliable

                                    Fire – makes flaming zombie that shamble at you and set

                                    things on fire; Cool? Yes. Helpful? No.

                                    Bullets – effective if you have time to aim

                                    Grenades – wish I had one to try this

                                    Knives/blades – effective but messy; same problem as

                                    beheading

                                    Will think of more things to try as I progress but

                                    preliminary results seem to point to bullets being good for

                                    ranged fighting and blunt force being best for melee.

                        Observations on patterns of behavior, hunting, etc

                        Perhaps studying how long it takes a zombie to starve/dehydrate?

            Further into the city

                        Start to see glimpses of the wall

                        Possibly have run-ins with either other survivors or armed guards
                        as they get closer to it
