Started a new guy in this new land of finally cities again. Genned into the outskirts, with nothing notable around and too many zombies and too much cold to care. I ran into a clthing store to find it was one of those small ones with manniquens which means I only got a pipe and a wound or 3 for my troubles. Ive been running out into fields and into houses and out of them, I even ran into a bathroom and started a fire I promptly stepped into when a zman busted the window and climbed in.
Battered, beaten, and with now ragged clothing, my frigid alcohol infused body is sitting in a basment and going to explore it blind once I heat up enough to have decent strength.
My version of D1 can be a real pain in the bullocks for an untrained fighter without proper attire. I was killed by Zs 2ce in my other attempts before I left the house.
pedit:
a few Zs in there, more than easy enough for a trashed pipe wielding hobo.
The place is a electronics store. Good and all, but useless to me at the moment. I found an e-ink. I thought they were just light-creating devices, but darned if they arent even that. Theyre for usb management apparently. Great :roll: Ill make sure to do that as soon as I get some light and sober up and escape the basement and get a car and find some usbs and care.
I have spent the better part of the day in a basement of a house or in the corner of a bedroom. I have been leveling up my tailoring and fab and some mechanics. All battery powered. I ran out of torchable booze awhile ago and have been using my flashlight and the addmitably copious amount of batteries I have.
I ducked from that electronics basement into a mess of a bookroom. Table and bookshelve and lockers collided at random, a zombie dog and shocker brute lay waiting for me. My first reaction was to flee from them when I opened the basement door and saw, but I stopped noping when I saw several flashlights. I set a fire and led them into it. The brute crushed my spirits with mighty blows before the pointy stick and the fire did it in, but I was able to save the basement using clean water.
Since then I have gone topside to smash up the beds in the bedroom my basement is in. I know I say not to, but beds are like 45-50 rags per, even without deconning them. Plus I duck into the basement and the zoms have so far bee happy to trash the house across the street and a car up it.
How do I know? I peeked. gdi its awful. Spitters and acidics and runners and all manner of owwies. I cant sleep because insomnia and the basement has nowhere comfortable. I cant heal up because I only have like 5 bandages. Ive got plenty of cheap wine, which for all its cheapness is one of the better boozes out there. Bad for health, good for filling the tummy and slaking thirst.
Anywho. Level 1 mech, level 1 fab, level 2 tailoring, and I do have under the hood and a pliers/hacksaw . . . So Im not dead yet. Just stranded and bruised and Im going to let myself shake off the ‘trashed’ status. Ugh.
