Utterly Mad

I would've been fine if not for the fact that all anyone could hit was my head.
I died from my mouth being cold because I took a couple a' punches to the face like a wuss.

Survivor Log - Subject: Maryalice Snowfield
This is a diary I will keep to help maintain my sanity. The world has fallen but that does not mean I should as well. I need to remember what it is to be human. I prepared for this, time to put it to action! For anyone reading this, here is my story.
Backstory:
My name is Maryalice Snowfield, age 26, a professional bionic prepper! At least that is before the cataclysm went down. I have always had a love for the outdoors an spend alot of time camping and learning the ways of the forest. I have developed very useful skills in my time there, skills that will help me survive. I got my lucky break when I won a minor state lottery and had enough money to retire at age 22. I put my money in investments and lived off the interest; that is not to say I bought some nice things first. I soon become a prepper with my wealth and free time, taking survival course A thru Z, buying gear X and Y and eventually even augmented myself to supplement my skills set; gear can be lost of broken, bionics are part of you. I was regarded as a loon with too much money and time since I was convinced the end was near...look who is laughing now! The end was near but not even I knew how near it was or how devastating it would be. An economic collapse is one thing but this! Everything outside it trying to kill you! Let me recount the events that happened when the bombs fell...
I was going thru inventory check when the broadcasts informed us to evacuate. Rumors of mass riots and the chinese invasion had me on edge as well as the recent bombings and militarization of certain areas. I took my gear and rode the bus that was to take me and a dozen others to the evac shelter. There we spend a couple of days waiting. Things suddenly calmed down. Another bus pulled up and said they were to transport people of the surviving evac shelters to a refugee center. Surviving evac shelters? Did that mean... I refuse to go, this place withstood so far and I would not go to an unknown place that might not be as secure. The rest went along and I remain alone for the rest of the day. I went through the stockpiled food I had in my bad and and was planing my next move when someone else entered the evac shelter.

Spoiler: Atomos (hover to show)

She said her name was Atomos (weird but who am I to judge) and needed help. My adventure had begun.

Spoiler: My start (hover to show)

Day 1:
I spoke to atomos and she explained her mother had recently died and had risen back up, she explained that the rioters where not actually rioters, but the dead who came back to life. She said to look outside and so I did. Where silence had comforted me before now I laid terrified. Dozens of living corpses walked the streets and fields, their flesh decaying but still going. Atomos told me her mother became one of those and asked if I could put her down. I agreed, I need to look for supplies soon anyway and might as well do this as well. I asked her to join me and she agreed after I told her I could protect her.

Spoiler: Recruit Succes! (hover to show)

Soon after we boarded up the place as best we could including all windows; a few doors were reinforced but many laid the same. I then build a portable brazier and a makeshift crowbar from a couple of lockers and looked up the location of the refugee center on the working console in the corner. Night came and now very hungry and thirsty I took a sip of water form my bionics and went for Atomo's home to kill her now dead mother and to search for supplies.
Along the way I had many encounters with the dead. They all behaved differently and some where harder to kill then others. Some emitted gases and acid, others were very fast and others still were very strong. Atomos managed to held her ground even without the aid of her machinegun. When I reached her home it was infested with the dead.

We killed them all an smashed them to prevent them from getting up but her mother was nowhere in sight. I looted all I could from the house and secured a bedroom. I decided I would worry about that in the morning. I went through my inventory and gear again one last time before bed time; my clothing was in tatters from the fighting but I was relatively all right.

I still need to find more food fast to retreat to the shelter. I laid to bed and slept for a while. My sleep was interrupted by the sound of gunfire in the morning.

What a way to start my day...

Ooh, neat. owo

Slow youkai is slow. D:

Day 2:
Woken up by gun fire I get up to investigate, machete in hand I go outside and see there is nothing in the vicinity. I simply go back to sleep but is woken up by noise once more. I then decide to wait until daylight so that I can navigate better to find supplies. Daylight comes and Atomos wakes up saying her head wound feels bad, I inspect it and see that It is infected…great…just what we needed! We need to find antibiotics and fast or she is not going to make it…Now with sunlight at our side we head next door to find supplies. Inside was very little but after we discover a basement we found a few firearms and ammunition! We take a shotgun, MP5 smg and M1911 pistol, and we had ammo for all of it! We then went to the house next door of that and no luck on food or other such supplies but we did find a small horde. We run and made it a grocery store fighting various of the dead along the way. Upon arriving we find it has collapsed and only a few food items remain. We could not even grab those as across the street was a massive horde and we had to book it. Due to injuries, they managed to catch up to Atomos…I went back and tried to help her but there were too many…If I stayed they would if had killed me…so I left. I did not look back, she did not call back for me, I only heard her fighting; maybe she did not notice my abandonment… I make it to the evac shelter and grab a couple of sheets, head down stairs to the basement, smoke a cigarette and go to sleep…it’s been a long day…

Day 3:
I wake up and start to put some of my stuff in one of the lockers when a couple of zombies breach the barricade and attack; I kill both and then barricade the windows back. I then start to read a beauty magazine I had found earlier by the monitor since they usually have tips on sewing and I need to fix my tatters. Then zombies once again breach the windows and I fight them off. I fight more as they just keep on coming. Wave after wave come and I decide to book it. I leave what was in the locker and run. I fight many dead, not quite a horde but there were many. I reach a grocery store and I grab a cart that I soon fill with supplies. With the cart, full I then head outside to a city infected with the dead…Full to the brim… I once again run but this time to the woods, the cities are no longer worth it… I reach the city killing an undead dog and hungry cougar along the way wasting shotgun shells. Once there I can see on the distance a Curious Structure… I approach… The inside is that of a church. A lone firefighter zombie is there and I then kill it with my crossbow. I find a kitchen area and what appears to be barracks as well. I settled on one of the beds and unload some items into my cart. I try to sleep but is soon woken up by screams for help. I then decide to follow the screams, they appear to be underground… A look door to the very front lay before me, I smash it with a fire axe I found from the firefighter zombie I killed earlier. There was nothing but stairs down. Down stairs were a couple of rooms, one that was like a library with religious books, and one that appeared to be a meeting room with various chair around a large table. I took one of the religious books tittle the Cleansing Flame, it looks different form the rest and I had never heard of such a religious book. In the meeting room, I took what appeared to be the notes of some apprentice of the occult. I then headed down the room to a maze-like structure. There was a crab like creature who lashed at me but was no match for my shotgun. Inside the maze there was a couple of doors, one barricaded shut and the other unlocked. The unlocked one housed full body chainmail and a peculiar crossbow without strings. I put them in my pack and move on. I then break the barricaded door and find a sword staring in the middle of a staircase. I hit the sword and it falls. I pick up the sword and take with me upstairs, that is enough exploring for right now. Once in the barrack I decide the sheath the sword in place of my machete and to put the chain mail armor in place of some of my clothing. I now lay here with shelter, food, weaponry and a place to explore…where to begin…

Doh. <3

Welp, that was sad. Not even a screenshot of your awful death? <3

Now who do da thing. D:
