🧟 Clearing the Fairgrounds
Monday: 🧟 Visibility is poor today and the deep snow makes trudging around the Fairgrounds a soggy nightmare, but the group turns out in force to start clearing the horde by picking off stragglers at the edge in melee. It becomes a kill-count competition, with Mud coming in first place, Dutch in second, and [Volunteer] and Hunter Jakobsen from the Fairfield group tying for third.
Tuesday: 🧟 Competition again today at the Fairgrounds, although with better visibility the group takes to the ferris wheel to use the carriages as sniper nests. Rather than simply counting kills, Dutch assigns Carter Betancourt and Russell Romero to judge sharpshooting kills on style and panache. The pair ultimately select Calliope Nightengale as the winner after they manage to shoot three zeds with the same crossbow bolt on their first try. Beginner's luck?
Wednesday: It's another long day of hard work at the Fairgrounds, but with a perimeter cleared the group can turn to digging pits to trap and burn the remainder of the zombies in. After Arwen Hartly sprains their ankle jumping down into a pit, they get re-assigned to lunch duty with Val and Kath Romero, who have set up shop at a nearby barbecue restaurant.
Just outside the secure perimeter, [Volunteer] gets caught in the crossfire of a snowball fight: Winslow Yates vs. Paget Yates and Jasmine Jakobsen, who are ganging up on him. Please help him here.
Thursday: Work on the pit digs continues today. Seth Romero enlists [Volunteer] as an extra set of hands to help him hotwire a nearby CAT excavator, which significantly expedites the process and means the group can make the pits much deeper, lowering the risk that they will fill completely.
Friday: The burn pits are lit today, which will hopefully constantly draw the very sluggish nearby zombie horde into them. Shifts are set up amongst the Quad communities to make sure the fires are constantly fed and wood is chopped. Nobody is sure how long this process will take, or if it will be entirely effective.
The Fairfield group hosts a small cookout at the barbecue restaurant to celebrate completion of the project, which goes great until the wind shifts and puts them downwind of the burn pits. The event gets cut short as everyone heads home.
