Utterly Mad

John Mattock
You entered the old church to find several pews smashed and only two of the stained glass windows still intact. After exploring the building you found a hammer and some boards(though their not long enough to cover the windows), looks like the church was doing some renovating. You also found large box of crackers and a few jugs of grape juice in the cellar. In the belfry you don't find much, but someone stole the bell, but there's some rope left.

The mall was a little over waist deep in water when you arrived. You managed to grab a sledgehammer on your way through the hardware store that you entered the mall through. Wading through the water you found a counter with a jug of water that someone must have left along with a few packets of MREs. You figure you can scavenge around the mall for things you might need, but to go too far outside the mall would require something to help you move.

Dan Bale
The top floor of the hotel was abandoned, with suit cases and abandoned items left in the hallways and in the rooms. Several people took it as an opportunity to loot and it appears they attempted to steal everything from jewelry to the Hotel's TVs and stereo systems. The roof didn't have anything much to mention, a couple of air conditioning units. You found some vegetables and a carton of water bottles.

George Smith
Your apartment was still relatively well kept but the water wasn't running anymore and everyone else had left. You stored some bottles of water and preserved foods, and you managed to find a pocket knife from somewhere. Unfortunately the ground floor was was up to your knees in water.

Paxton Hawke
You managed to find a sea worthy boat before the flood got too bad in your area. Unfortunately now the surrounding area is mostly underwater saving for some multi story buildings you could see. You searched the vessel and found a few cans of food and bottles of water, along with a fishing pole, fishing line, and hooks along with a pocket knife. Unfortunately you don't see any bait. Thankfully the ship already had sails and a motor, but you'll need gas for it.

Notes to players
you can just explore and find new places to scavenge from or otherewise.
And don't forget to budget some time for sleep, maybe not every day but I'm not going to let you get away with going two months without it.
If you have questions go ahead and ask, I'll answer any I can even if it's not in a full blown update.
Yes, you don't have much, but that's kind of the point. You need to find materials and items to build things to help you survive, and I didn't want to hand you too much, just some things to help you get started.
