Event: Itinerant Horde

[decaymod]

THE HORDE ARRIVES...

Friday morning brings with it biting temperatures, a thick fog which dissipates not long after the sun rises, and many, many zombies. As the Horde shambles into the area, the survivors of the Quad area are setting finishing the last touches of their plan and getting into position for their operation to Split and Destroy the Itinerant Horde.

This post will be used for all miscellaneous scenes set during this plot line. There will be a second post going up for mission scenes which will count for plot success activity tomorrow morning. Characters who volunteer for missions all know the plan but will not receive their own assignments and partners until late this evening, at which point the Cascade Hills teams will be dispatched to their locations.

Meagher Valley teams will be positioned Saturday morning, Providence Ridge teams Sunday morning, and Trumbull Valley teams Monday morning. The Horde is impassable by car, so please be mindful to note which side of the Horde your character is on at any given time. Those on teams will be prepared to camp out for a few days at their final locations, and will have safe elevated spots scouted for them ahead of time, but are also welcome to shelter at any community once the Horde has cleared it (ie, if you are assigned to Loch + Keogh, you can return to Whitney Field after the Horde clears it on Saturday afternoon).

If you have any questions about logistics, please do not hesitate to ask me either here or in the #questions channel on the Discord server. I realize this is a little complicated but I'm happy to help figure out where your character will be and be able to get! I'll have team assigns for people at about 9pm PST tonight, and the post for mission scenes will go up tomorrow morning.

SCENES: SUNDAY: Carter & Dutch

November 10, 2013 ▪ PFS Workshop ▪ 10:48 AM

 

Carter doesn’t know how many weapons she’s built at this point. She just has to keep going. It feels like a never-ending pile of them, carefully stacked into boxes and bags. She’s on the easy ones now; pre-made molotovs, a supply of bottles into which she’s pouring a measure of Whitney Field’s highest proof alcohol, a rag, secure it, repeat. The precision of the process is distracting, soothing. She can focus on this instead of the radio calls going on in the dispatch station, just a little way away, pouring in bad news and limited victories. The only person next to her is Dutch.

Carter puts down the rag, and looks up at her leader, younger than she is, certainly, but one of the few people in this world she trusts. Apropos of only the tally in her head counting up the approximate zombies (too many) there still are in the main horde, she asks, “Do you think. This is still going to work. Right?”

"Uh, yeah," Dutch says, not even glancing up from the work she's doing with her soldering iron. She envies Carter her assignment for Tuesday, which is a job she perceives as being much cooler and more important than her own job is. "What could go wrong?"

While she's kind of joking, she also means this in a sincere way: the plan isn't rocket science, and killing zombies is what she does best.

This kind of perhaps baseless but still assured confidence is helpful, seeing Carter has spent most of the past few nights staring at the corrugated metal in her ceiling spinning over that question exactly.

"It's just. Lots of people are getting hurt. I don't want them to blame us. After. When it's mostly skill. I forget not everyone's a professional."

This comes with half a smug smile, but it's directed at a bottlecap so that's okay.
