Once again, I meet the one a day promise...


The Inn- The aftermath of the Judge's unveiling was... to put it lightly... catastrophic. Five men were dead, four airborn vessels were incinerated, and the bell tower to the church was blown clear off... And to top things off, the Unholy Trio had given the Judge new marching orders... To search out and destroy anything left alive in the Village... Wonderful. Just ****ing Wonderful... Apparently Karter, Wilder, and Martin were betraying Umbrella to save themselves... and the Judge... And from the way they were talking, the catalysts that lead up to this point were accidental... They had never intended for the Village to end up this way... Were they just as much victims here, as the rest of us...? No... They took advantage of the situation to finish their demonic Nemesis... They were no victims... They were murderers... But who had they sold out too... And how were they going to get them out of this hellhole? And what was up with the T-Dragon virus? The way Karter was explaining it, the T-Dragon virus is somewhat sparadic in it's actions, exhibiting some of the characteristics of the T, G, T-Veronica, and even the TG viruses... How was that possible? Had Karter actually created the unstoppable virus? There so many questions that it has become sickening... Despite all of this though, team morale was up... Well, until lj drove his fist into the wall that is...

"Everyone that thing killed and kills... Every single one of their deaths will be on my head..." He whispers quietly while throwing a few files onto the table, "This is all the info I have on Karter and his virus... Remember though that brawn alone will not beat this thing. Man has yet to create anything perfect and this is no different. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to the research center. Maybe I'll find something more about it there. I'll leave notes of what I find in there... I have to avenge the deaths of our comrades. If it wasn't for me... That monster... That Judge... Would have never came into existance... I have to atone for my sins. Or die trying..."

"Hey man, it's not your fault, it could have been anyone..." MF tries to comfort lj, but Nate isn't so sympathetic

"You're telling us that you're going out - alone - to the research center, with not only who knows what kind of monsters like Jim outside, in the dark, unarmed and with no light source, to what is most likely the very source of this whole mess, but you're doing it with that thing on the loose?! That's not a very good idea." Nate chuckles, and is shocked that lj would even suggest such an action...

"No, it really isn’t," Tur added, holding his arm, "We have to stick together now, everyone. We’ve gotta work past all the petty **** between us and do this as a team. Or we’ll end up just like the people at the airstrip must have..."

"I will atone for my sins... Whether I survive or not now is in the hands of fate. I am resolved to my actions. Nothing... NOTHING that you can say will change my decision..." lj shoots right back at Nate and Tur with a glare

"lj is right..." Natus says cynically to Nate, "We can kill the Judge if we go to the Research Center. There has to be something in there that we can use against him. What is Research Center without a Seismic Lances? Aren't they mandated by Umbrella since the Raccoon City incident? We have to go there... And fast. Before the Judge starts to pick us off... One... by... One... I'm sorry guys, but my desicion is made...I'm going to the research facility. If there is a chance to kill the Judge before he reaches his full potential, I have to take it. And you should too."

"Wait. Since when are 'Seismic Lances' mandated by Umbrella?" AZ had to ask, "The only time I've even heard that term is in reference to Raccoon City. I think your nuts..."

"Well I think I'm right..." Natus says quite certainly

"I think he's right too..." KeyCard agrees, "The Research Center is definitely where we have to go... But if that is where the accident occured... It might be crawling with BOWs... And the Judge... But nonetheless, we have to try. We have to get our revenge..."

KeyCard, Natus, and lj all stood up to leave the Inn when GSMY shot down their hopes...

"Ahem..." GSMY cuts in, "One problem with you guys going to the Research Center. We don't have are access cards to get to it. The files we all got on the plane said that to get access to the Research Center, we need a keycard to deactivate the electric fence, and another keycard to open the door to the Center... We have a grand total of zero of those. Your mission has been severed for now... We need a new plan."

"I don't know who to go with... All I have is a damn rusty axe and 2 grenades... I think we should check out the farm house because I didn't go in there, and it looked interesting. Plus, we need someone with a gun to go in there... That's where I think we should go..." NES chimes in, but is ignored

AZ crosses the room, ignoring NES for the moment, and heads over to GSMY. He quickly notices the Handgun parts protruding from his pocket... AZ then recalls an earlier conversation with GSMY, and grins...

"GSMY, I'm sorry but I can't let you have my firepower. This baby is my only friend right now. But... But. I will trade you this first-aid kit here for those handgun parts. I mean, I'm probably a better shot and the gun would be better in my hands. I'm sure that if you end up getting wounded... this would help you out much more than some modified weapon components would. Hey-- wha-?" AZ starts, but GSMY snatches the gun from AZ's hands and the first-aid kit from his other hand. AZ is about to protest with a hammer to GSMY's hand, but he stops when he realizes that GSMY was only customizing the gun himself. In a few moments the Handgun was completely modified, and damn did it look nice. GSMY slid the Modified Handgun across the counter and smiled at AZ. AZ picked up the gun and looked it over. It was a beautiful sight. GSMY opened the first-aid kit and looked it over. Enough for two treatments. Nice... As AZ holsters the handgun in his waistband once more he walks by GSMY and whispers... "You might want to seriously think about giving Tur over there a bandage or three... It could mean the difference between his life and death..."

Tur was on the other side of the room, holding his arm in severe pain. The bite itself wasn't too bad... But the wound burned, and it was beginning to itch... Why did he have to go into that basement? Tur pulls out all of his files and puts them on a nearby table... Seeing Tur in pain, and feeling a bit sorry for him, GSMY sucumbs to sympathy and takes up AZ's request. Tur had begun to turn very pale, and was sweating quite a lot. GSMY crosses the room and opens his first-aid kit. He sprays half a can of First-Aid Spray onto Tur's wound before wrapping it up in some real bandages. Tur smiles in relief from the pain.

"Thanks. I mean it." Tur said with complete and utter honesty, "It doesn't burn or itch at all anymore... So hopefully that's a good sign."

"As long as you don't get another blast of infection, you should be all right. The first-aid sprays are like bleach without all those horrible side effects. Basically it stems all infections, negating them completely. It doesn't heal you much, but when push comes to shove, I'd rather be injured and virus-free then healthy and prone to turn into one of those things at any moment..." Natus throws in his expertise, "For healing you'll need to find some herbs. Herbs are by far the best thing for healing purposes, so if we can find some of them for you, we'll be sure to give them to you."

AZ reaches into his pocket and feels the bag of green herbs. He wanted to help Tur, he really did, but he couldn't risk getting injured and not having a remedy. Expecially with the Judge loose in the Village...

"I don't know about you guys, but if we don't do anything about Steve here, his death is not on that guy Trevor's hands, but ours." Nate starts again, finally breaking the stagnation of ideas, "I mean, the hospital is just a little ways away, and if we stay together, our collective firepower should be enough to hold at bay whatever monster could muster the insanity to attack such a large group. We must stay together if we're to survive. It's irrational, spur-of-the-moment ideas like lj's that are going to get us all killed. If we stay together and work as a collective whole, we can overcome anything. I don't mean to sound corny, but it's true. If me taking the role of 'leader' in this group, so to speak, is wrong, and you disagree with me, let us discuss it after we've got Steve here fixed up. Tur over there doesn't look too healthy himself..."

"Leader, schmeader," Tur lamely piped up, somewhat angered. "You’re just saying what I hope we all are. We need to help Steve, yeah. I could use some more medical treatment, myself, so I’m definitely going."

lj doesn't take to kindly to being called brash, and he rises to his feet, taking a few steps toward Nate. Nate wasn't making many friends, so he decides to try and get to his point as quickly as possible...

"We could also fortify the hospital and use it as a base of sorts until Tur and Steve are healed enough for us to move out and find a way out of this cesspool of evil. Let's discuss it there, though. We need to get Steve there soon, before it's too late." Nate finishes

"That's quite an admirable plan Nate." AZ says while clapping, "But you are unarmed. You will stand no chance against the Judge. It isn't much, but take this, I don't need it...

AZ reaches back and picks up his aluminum bat that he had left lying on the table. He throws it to Nate, who catches it with an expert grip. Nate grins from ear to ear in delight... Tidus just winces at the sight of that damn bat again...

"Be careful you guys... I'll make my way to the Hospital in a bit... Hopefully you'll be fortified and up to your eyeballs in Herbs by then. As for you Mr. Minor League, maybe when you're not back-flipping here, and tripping over your own feet there, you can protect yourself with that..." AZ jokes

Nate, still smiling, gets TJ to help him get Steve to his feet. Steve wasn't completely out of it at the current moment, but his eyes were really glazed over. Time was of the essence here. TJ and Nate were helping Steve to the door of the Inn when Tur jumped to his feet, filled with more energy then he had felt in several hours. He was still hurt, but no longer infected...

"Wait, I’m not letting you guys go alone." Tur said while heading over to the hospital group, but he stopped and turned back to deliver a message, "If anyone’s staying here, please look over that stuff I found. And try to use the laptop to get help."

The four men were just about to leave the Inn when MF practically jumped in front of the door, waving a napkin in the faces of the hospital group...

"Guys wait!!" MF screams, practically into the face of Nate, "Before you leave, I think you should see this. See, Karter told Trent EXPLICITLY to avoid the hospital. There must be something there, maybe some of those T-Dragon BOWs... but I understand that people need medical attention. Just be careful, and watch your six..."

Nate and Tur looked into the frightened eyes of TJ and they dying eyes of Steve. They had made up their minds. They were going to that hospital... Win or lose, they'd be heroes.

"We'll die doing what we know in our hearts is the right thing..." Nate nobly replies, and MF takes that as a contract of determination. Nate himself didn't even know if what he had just said was true. Before leaving, Nate turns back to AZ while gripping the bat.

"I don't like your idea of wandering off alone, but you be careful, Frank, you hear me?" Nate said, growing stern. "Hopefully we'll have that hospital locked down by the time you get back. Don't take too long..."

With those final words, Tur, Nate, TJ, and Steve all head out into the dark night air, on their way to the Village Hospital...

"I still say that we need to get into the research center..." Natus says with determination

"I suggest we find our bags that the Unholy Trio were supposed to leave for us. Whatever is in them must be important enough for them to hide. It could even be the keycards to the Research Center." GSMY says with great conviction

MF walks over to SN, waving his handgun around. "Okay, here's the plan. We know this safe is in Room 001, and we know the innkeeper Charlie Greene has the key to that room. We have the combination to the safe, so all we need to do is find Charlie, or what's left of him, and get that key! It's time to get busy living, or get busy dying."

KeyCard has to get his two cents in as well. "You guys know this thing is out to get us... I say we get it before it gets us.. Natus I'm with you a hundred percent on this one. I might just have this steel pipe, but your correct in the fact that we need to look for somthing in this Village to bring that ***** down. I don't know what that could be, but... maybe there's a way to turn that gattling gun on itself, but i don't know. ...Well Natus I'll let you lead but we dont have those keycards, so maybe we should go look somewhere else first? This is no longer a joke... It's kill or be killed."

"Damn everyone is filled to the brim with cliches tonight. What the hell is wrong with you people...?" AZ mutters under his breath, barely audible to those around him

"I still stand by my Seismic Lance theory. If the facility here ever got around to installing one, perhaps we could use that against the Judge... If we could get him to stand in front of it... It would be all over. And I mean, I realize that it IS a long shot. But Karter has already proven he likes disobeying UMB orders. I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't bothered installing a Seismic Lance, and several other unauthorized gadgets in that Lab of his... It's not much hey, at least it's a plan. We'll find our way into room 001, and get our Keycards. Then we go find ourselves a Laser Cannon. All we need now is an impending explosion and a few hundred Hamburgers and we'll have ourselves a party." Natus jokes before pausing and becoming very serious. ""And guys...three words...Never. Give. Up...."

"Again with the god damn cliches..." AZ mutters again

http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=4992

"Well, there you go. We have to find that cannon, if it does exist. But what if there isnt one? I kind of wish we could just blow this place straight to hell! Self-Destruct Button anyone?" KeyCard says hopefully... and destructivly...

Just then, the hospital group appears at the door of the Inn again. Nate is furious at the fact that no one but Tur came with him... Nate hands off Steve to TJ and Tur and then walks back into the room of the Inn, very disturbed... He began trying to plead with each person individually. "Tidus, we need your firepower. You've already spent time with him, and a familiar face, as well as a big gun, will keep him well enough until we can get him treatment."

"Seymour, Key," he began, turning his attention to them, "We also need your eyes. We can look for this Seismic Cannon together once we've taken care of Steve and Tur here, and fortified the hospital. We really must stick together. What do you say?

"NES, it'd be suicide to go by yourself. Most of us are going to the hospital. You should come with us. Your weaponry will surely come in handy. We can check out the farm in a little while.

"GSMY, Furious, bring all the files with you. We can review them once we've locked down the hospital, and try to make sense of it all. Who knows, we may even find out where we can find that key you guys are looking for."

Nate had done all he could do... There was nothing else he could do but pray that the others would see it his way. Steve had to get to the hospital, and soon, or his death was on all their hands. Not escorting them would be murder, but Nate had no more time to waste explaining this. Steve had to get help, or he would die. It was tough for Nate to pretend to be so tough in such a dire situation as this, but he was up for the challenge. He knew what he was doing was the right thing to do right now... But would it be the right thing in the long run...?

Looking at Natus, KeyCard begins to warm up to Nate's idea... "He has a very good point there Natus. Maybe we should go there first and help them out. We can see if we can find some info on this cannon at the hospital... More than likely we won't, but hell if lj can find that T-Dragon virus in a warehouse maybe we will find somthing..."

"If you had paid any attention at all, you would have realized that the vial of T-Dragon virus in the warehouse was a sample that was being shipped out of the Village." lj snaps, breaking his silence

KeyCard just shrugs off lj's comment. "I'm with you Nate."

"I gotta agree with you on this one too Nate. We need to get into room 001 and the only way we can do that is if we find the key. It may very well be at the hospital. I'm in." Natus replies, causing Nate to smile once more

MF isn't buying this one bit. He had read the napkin note. There was no way that he was going to go anywhere near that hospital. Not now. Not ever, if he had the choice. "Alright, GSMY and I will peruse all the info from the LURKER diary, and the LAPTOP and such from Evan's house. After that, we will head down into the BASEMENT of the Inn, and see if we can find the key to ROOM 001. SN, Key, Tur, Nate, get Steve and TJ to the hospital, and for God's sake, be careful. I know it sounds terrible....." MF pauses, as it pains him to speak his next words... "...but if things get rough, Steve is only gonna weigh you down. Keep that in mind..."

Nate is apalled that MF could say such a thing, and the expression on his face shows that. However, he bites his tongue, as he is afraid that he will say something that both of them will regret later... MF is about to say something else when lj cuts him off and starts his own rant.

"Hey guys calm down." lj tells everyone, finally answering their objections to him leaving alone, going against the teamwork idea. "I'm not against team work, but they know the village a lot better then us. We will be able to get more info if we travel in smaller groups. Mobility is what is important going against this thing. Remember it'll be easier for 1 or 2 people to escape the monster then a whole group. And I just remembered that Karter said something about a safe... But that seems to already have a group dedicated to it. I also didn't explore everything in the warehouse. There was this one room I didn't check out. Maybe more info on that thing will be in there... I'm going hold off my trip to the research center and the hospital to go back to the warehouse and explore the managers room. Anyone can accompany if they want..."

Nate could no longer hold back his anger for MF...

"Apparently whatever is in that safe is worth more than a bleeding man's life. I'd like to point out, however, that you have no clue what is in that safe, and that it is not going anywhere anytime soon. But whatever, your priorities are yours, however misdirected they may be. One group wandering around alone at a time like this is bad enough, not to mention they're taking a good chunk of the group's firepower with them, but now you are going off by yourself, too, to unlock a safe that you're not even sure may be helpful at all. An you lj, are going to back to the warehouse alone, where Karter nearly took you out the last time! You guys are beyond salvation... But whatever. Do your searching quickly. We must regroup and work together as soon as possible, and the majority of us are going to the hospital. Meet us there, and bring whatever you find in that safe with you." Nate explodes

Tidus, cluthching his shotgun, finally decides to throw his opinion into the ring... Another shot from someone at Nate...

"Nate, I don't think traveling in a large group is a good idea. If we travel in a group, the Judge could take out more of us at a time. I'm staying here and reading the info that was provided by everyone else. I'm sorry. I just can't go." He says with a sigh

"Fine." Nate sharply replies "Do as you wish. I can't help you anymore..."

KeyCard looks at the group collected around him, to head to the hospital. "Alright guys. Lets get steve to the hospital now. It looks like he doesn't have a lot of time left."

Nate nods and returns to brace Steve with the help of TJ. With two more people in tow, the hospital group turns and leaves through the Inn door for a second time... determined to help save the life of Steve... and save the lives of themselves...

"I guess nobody wants to come with me..." lj says with a heavy heart, "I don't blame them... I'm the reason we are in such bad shape right now... Dammit! I'm going to the warehouse, and live or die I am going to get my revenge on the Unholy Trio!!"

With that outburst lj rushes to the door of the Inn and and runs through it before anyone could even think of stopping him...

AZ sighs at lj's hasty retreat, and dumps his files into the item box, while spreading out the items he had found at the market... He begins to sift through them for signs of usefulness. MF, GSMY, and Tidus all pull up chairs around a table and look at the files in front of them...

"There's a lot here in front of us." MF starts out, "But if we go through all of this paperwork together, there's no doubt in mind that we'll find something of importance."

"Let's get cracking then..." Tidus says with a half-smile


AZPunisher- AZ begins to search through everything he found at the Marketplace. After putting his files in the item box, AZ calls over to the group at the table.

"Hey.. I found a bit of info here and there... it's here in this folder... If anyone wishes to follow suit, I think a collective intelligence is the best road to travel. I'll throw other things in here as well. Feel free to utilize any of this... unless you've stolen from me in the past... Tidus, mind if I see my tape you've got there?" AZ wickedly accuses Tidus. Tidus doesn't even respond, and AZ decides not to even bother with him anymore... AZ plays with his modified handgun for a few moments, before his eyes fall on the heavy box of Vanilla Wafers. Interested, AZ opens the box of Wafers, and is surprised at what he finds. Sure there are a few wafers in there, but the majority of the box is filled with a thick and unusually #heavy cross#. Thinking that this will be useful, AZ pockets the cross, which now weighs down his pants. Deciding to leave the file group alone, AZ heads over to the stairs and CC, who has been silent since the Judge's attack on the rescue helicopters...

"Hey... If you're not heading out right away, I could use an extra pair of eyes..." AZ tries to enlist her help... But CC just looks away from him, and doesn't even acknowledge his request. AZ shrugs and continues up the Inn's stairs, and to the second floor. There is glass everywhere up here, from a broken window... What had managed to do that? AZ again shrugs. No use in thinking about things he couldn't answer. Standing in the second floor hallway, the only thing AZ saw was a #small table# with a drawer in it and #flower pot# on top of the table. Looking for possible rooms to enter, AZ sees that he can go into @Room 003@, @Room 004@, and @the Bathroom@...

"Decisions, decisions..." AZ whispers to no one but himself...

[Status]: Fine
[Equip]: Modified Handgun (15/15), Hammer (Def. Item)

Tidus41390, MisterFurious, and GoldenSunMasterYami-

"Alright. Here we go... First I say we look through this diary I found at the Bell Tower. It was being clutched in the hands of... a dead body... Freaky, I know- but it could prove useful..." MF states

"Read it and pass it around..." Tidus says anxiously

File #17- Lurker's Diary
My Diary ~ By Annoying Lurker

17-06-04
I just got this Diary for my Birthday! I plan on using you lots to record my less than exciting life! I've been offered a premotion in Umbrella too! This looks to be a great move, cause right now my division in Umbrella (W-019 - AKA the janitorial staff) Is looking kind of...erm...not good? Ah...I'm no good at writing... so i guess I'll just make this a once a week...or month...or year...thing.

21-06-04
This is so cool! Thanks to my premotion I never have to clean up an unviable BOW ever again! YES! That means no more acidic spider blood...no more rotten flesh...no more MA-121 Claws! Plus, I now work on the same level as that cool guy Trent! Lot's of the higher ups don't like Trent...I'm guessing thats because he's so much more fun than them! Right now, Me and Him work together distributing..."paychecks"... to make sure the continued existence of Umbrella doesn't go public. Apparantley the company got busted and "shut down" a few years ago, but that's before my time...

28-06-04
Trent's acting weird...Last night I saw him on the phone to that Karter guy. I REALLY hate Karter. I only met him twice - the day he assigned me to the Janitor Squad, and the day of my premotion. He's just not a nice guy...he doesn't look like he can be trusted and I'm pretty sure he's got some secret going on between Trent and Himself...

04-07-04
Too busy...can't write...

09-07-04
Finally. I've distributed all of this years, "ahem" Paychecks, and have 2 months free leave! Of course, I would have been finished sooner, but Trent took off on the 02nd, and left me with a LOT of paperwork. Suddenly, I don't like him anymore!

13-07-04
Ok, ignore what I said before - Trent ROCKS! He bought me tickets to this European resort to make up for leaving me with that mountain of paperwork. He wouldn't say where he'd been...just that it was important...

20-07-04
I found out that my flight to the European place wont be lonely - I'm headed off there in 2 weeks time with 15 other passengers... The air liner has a weird name - Subjects Alpha...must be foreign...

27-07-04
Just making arrangments for my cat to stay at Alias' house while I'm on holiday...

03-07-04
Typical - I arrive early and the plane's late. All the others are here too. I started talking with them, well, a few of them. Aly seems pretty cool - He looks kinda like Neo from the matrix! There's also JJ McCarthy, but I'm not so sure about her...she looks like a scientist - I can tell even without the labcoat! She always has this little purple pen she twiddles in her left hand...It has a lable, but I'm never close enough to read it...looks kinda like C-VITYS...

04-07-04
I have just been to hell and back...well, I'm not back yet... The plane touched down and after about a second of seeing the resort, I pretty much vowed I'm sticking with somebody the whole time i'm here. It didn't take long to choose someone either - Aly was the obvious choice. that JJ lady took off pretty swiftly with about 5 people. Aly, Myself and the rest of the group followed about a minute later. The place is a dump! It's like...a village...really old timey...then, someone screamed. I knew immediatley it was the scientist, JJ. Aly just stood there, frozen. JJ's screams were joined by others...then, nothing. Someone started back to the plane, I was gonna join him...then I realised the plane wasn't there anymore. What the hell was going on? Aly moved, pushing my back. I fell down and heard a rough Lawnmower sound overhead...Aly fell to my right - he was missing the left side of his head.

05-07-04
I ran...for hours I ran...I must have been going in circles, but that horrifying sound didn't ever fade. The sound that took Aly's life. The Chainsaw. I didn't have much time when he attacked, He cut Aly's face by error - I was the original target. But why? and Who? I couldn't see his face, he was wearing a bag...

06-I've been holed up here in this church for 2 days now. sorry bout lack of accuracy, but little time. theyre coming.

08-07-04
Damn. Everyone. They got everyone. I'm all that's left. I saw them, the bodies. Most of the marks - the wounds, must have been post mortem...because there was no way they were alive any time those injuries were recieved. And Aly...He was missing an Arm! Why? GOD WHY!? He wasn't a threat! HE WAS MISSING HALF HIS BRAIN! I just don't understand why they cut up the bodies!? And what's worse? They arent BOWs. Theyre human.

11-07-04
Once a day that bell rings, and the all come here...I'm out of sight at the moment - got a nice ringside seat to watch the ceremony. Every day, the bell rings... but it isn't the church bell itself... It's from somewhere else... they all come in here, one is picked from the crowd, and he or she is horribly murdered by Bagman (as i've come to call him) then all the preists feast on the body...and just for future reference, the preists are BOWs, but they seem to have intelligence - Leadership abilities...I think they may be affilated with Project Nemesis...

21-07-04
Now, I'm officially terrified. I found the body of JJ, the scientist. that pen she had, it turns out, was a vial. and the label? G-VIRUS. That's not the bad news though...it's half empty...

29-07-04
I'm running low on ink, so I'll be brief. If anyone finds this, Get out now. If your here looking for family or friends, don't bother...they're dead. just like me... I'm going to make a last stand here at the church, but I will leave you with some parting gifts... Check under the third pew for a Magnum and some .357's. Oh, and the Giant Cross Drains the pool. Just insert it into <Book is ripped in half, lengthways, at this point. is it possible there's another half?>

MF, GSMY, and Tidus are confused as all hell. If the accident at the lab had happened only recently... Then what was this describing? Was any of this even true?

"This can't be true..." MF starts off, "I mean, Steve and TJ... and Evan... they were all good people. They aren't like this diary describes... Had this been a propehcy or a dream? This couldn't possibly be true... could it? I mean, I didn't see any magnum under any pews in that Church. Granted I didn't search that well... but..."

"Although it doesn't sound like it came from this Village... Maybe there was another Village. This one is under Karter's control, this we know... But what if Trent had had a Village of his own...? The way that book was wrote, it sounded like Trent was the big boss there..." Tidus hypothesizes

"Then how did it end up in that Bell Tower?" GSMY questions

The three men are silent... None of them could come up with a definitive answer to wether that diary was describing this Village or another... GSMY then reaches across the table and picks up the laptop that Tur had left... He turns it on in the hopes of finding out some information. Unfortuantely, the Umbrella Corporation logo flashes on the screen, followed by three open windows: One for a User Name, One for a Password, and One for an Access Number...

"Dammit... Why does Umbrella have to be so god damn security conscious?" GSMY barks out

"Why do you have to use 'damn' in a sentence so many times, eh?" MF pokes fun at GSMY

Next, Tidus pulls over the book that Tur had left from House 100. He opens it to find that every page was blank... Weird. The entire outside of the book was yellow though, even the spine... Yet another dead end...

"Ugh. There are so files, and they are getting us nowhere fast..." Tidus whines, "I mean, we can keep reading them now, or we can try to do something else... We can always come back to the files... The only ones we have left are the diary and the note. We can come back for them."

"Dear Lord, could I ever use a drink....." MF says softly, but then tightens up, "I agree, Tidus, we need to find our bags that are in this safe. I'm gonna head on down to the basement, see if I can find Charlie and the key to room 001. Tidus, GSMY, you wanna join me?"

"I'll go MF but I need SOMETHING to defend myself with..." GSMY whimpers, "Well, at least let me find out what I've got in here first..."

GSMY unwraps the towel from the pool room to find something shiny inside. It is a Key... GSMY spins the key around in his hand, and he catches the engraving on the head of it: "Warehouse Office." GSMY chuckles...

"I guess lj won't be having much luck, now will he?" He says through a laugh, "But okay, we can go there later. MF, you and Tidus have guns so I'll let you guys go first... But yeah, I'll join you in the basement."

"That's cool with me." Tidus says while readying his shotgun, "Lets go!"

The three men rise from their seats and head over to the basement door. MF turns the knob and leads GSMY and Tidus down the basement steps. It is pitch black down here, and there doesn't seem to be a light source nearby. The only faint light in the room comes from the open door upstairs. It os imposible to even say your hand in front of you...

"I can't see a thing guys..." GSMY sounds frightened

"I know, me either." Tidus admits, "This doesn't feel good at all... Let's head back..."

"I don't know guys, something really important could be down here..." MF replies to both of them

"...or really deadly..." GSMY says a little above a whisper

"Alright. Are we going to search the basement in the dark, or are we going to head back upstairs? We have to make a decision now and stick with it..." MF says kinda leader-like

ljfromsa- Rushing out of the Inn with a distict purpose, lj braves the cold night air and the Judge on his way to the warehouse once more. When he enters, the place is darkened, and only illuminated by a little bit of moonlight that pours through several windows... lj feels his way through the warehouse, remembering from his last visit where to go to reach the office. When he reaches the office door, he turns the knob, only to find it locked tightly... lj nearly breaks down...

"Can't I catch a little, tiny, miniscule break?! Just once?!" He sobs

But his sobs are cut short... lj thinks he has heard something crash on the other side of the warehouse... Is it safe to stay here in this condition, in a poorly lit room... unarmed?!

KeyCard25, Seymour Natus, NateDaTater and Turducken- With KeyCard and Natus protecting the group, and Nate, Tur, and TJ helping Steve to walk, the group begins the short trek to the hospital. When they pass the pub, Tur almost begins to cry... And he begins to whisper softly...

"Maybe I should go join him..." Tur whispered, barely audible. "Keep him company, but I failed him... I couldn’t get there in time to save his wife... couldn’t find his daughter..."

Tur then looks at Steve and realizes that there was still a chance to save him... So he would stay with the group... Luckily for them, the Hospital is only a few minutes east of the Inn. The moonlight lights up the path for them and they make it there in no time... Standing in front of the Hospital, the area around them is bathed in white light coming out of the hospital's windows and under the doors. It is a very soothing light... Nate smiles, for the 100th time since reaching the Village...

"See? MF was all wrong. This place will be our salvation!" He says with great joy

And with that, Natus pushes open the Hospital's double doors... and the hearts of all the men sank into their toes. The white walls and polished floors of the hospital are bathed in red blood. It is a gruesome sight... The men enter the hospital, and they could have swore that they heard a groan... Maybe it was their imaginations... There was more red in this room then white... And it made Nate sick. He was barely able to hold make his vomit. The entrance hall to the Hospital has been destroyed, and there is nothing salvagable from it. At the end of the hall there is a #welcoming desk# with a #clipboard# and #something black# on it... But that isn't what is important right now. What is important is getting Steve some help. Nate searches the signs in the hospital quickly... Where should they go? There are doors to @the waiting room@, @the emergency room@, @the operating room@, @the recovery room@ and @the doctor's office@... Where to go...? All of sudden there is a loud bang from the operating room... That was not their imaginations... That was real... And that was loud...

Jumping at the loud bang, Nate quickly regathered his wits, not even bothering to consider what it could have been. It sure as hell wasn't something good, he knew that much, what with several dozen gallons of blood splashed all over the walls and making the tile floor slippery. Noting that the emergency room was probably the best place to find something to fix Steve up with, he decided they check it out once they'd investigated that loud bang just now.

He turned back to his compatriots and put a finger to his lips, but didn't make any sound, gesturing that he wished them to be completely silent. He then pointed to Tur and Natus, and then pointed to himself, and then in the direction of the loud noise, indicating he wanted them to follow him and investigate. He then pointed to Key, TJ and Steve, then pointed at the ground, and mouthed the words "stay here".

With that, Nate pulled the baseball bat out of the back of his shirt, feeling the icy cold aluminum against his bare skin. A chill ran up his spine. He tightened his grip on the bat and rejoiced momentarily in the nostalgic feeling it gave him. He turned his head and nodded to Turducken and Seymour, then began to slowly advance towards the direction of the bang, making as little noise as he could.

"In heaven all the interesting people are missing." - Friedrich Nietzche

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Despite the darkness that surrounded that monstrosity, it seemed a black rogue, massive and reeking of evil beyond the horrors of nightmares. It pulsed with a dark power that reeked so of malice that she could feel it through the thin veneer of glass, and despite her not being able to discern it’s location, she knew it was still there. Whilst staring morosely into the abyss, she had almost resorted to the wallowing of her own despair. However, somehow, this macabre situation which prematurely brought out a plethora of weakness within her had now highlighted and lavished the more exemplary qualities of her comrades.

Lj was intent upon redeeming himself for circumstances which she thought were rather circumstantial. Nate’s movements were now bristling with the tenacity of purpose; he had taken the incentive of securing the store clerk’s live by braving the unseen. Az congenially offered “Mister Minor League” a means of self defence via a baseball-bat after bartering with another. And now, Tur willing shared information and files she was fairly positive others where hoarding for reasons unbeknownst to herself.

"Hey... If you're not heading out right away, I could use an extra pair of eyes..."

Though the offer implied itself as more an afterthought to take her mind off certain lumbering monstrosities, she was thankful for it. Better they gather whatever potentially useful items this place had to offer, and the sooner they did that, the sooner Az would leave the Inn to help the others…and then she would have an escort, of sorts. However, in the corner of her eye she caught movement in the window and quickly focused on it’s last location…nothing. She shrugged, she had to try keep paranoia at bay with activity of some sort. She rose and followed upstairs, several seconds later.

*First, he examines the table.. checking in the drawer.. then gives the flower pot a thorough check, too.. hoping to find something of interest.. he then heads towards the bathroom, and kicks the door open..

Welcome to Raccoon City one hell of a town

Watching Nate signal us to go check it out with him, I thought back on the last time I decided to investigate a loud noise in the hopes that it was a survivor.

It hadn't gone well.

And now, for all we knew, it could have been the Judge making that racket. And I don't think he'd be happy to see us.

Even so, I couldn't let Nate go alone. My infection had been taken care of, so at least I had one less thing to worry about.

Readying my cue, "Mr. Stabby" as I now deemed it, I silently followed Nate. I wasn't too keen about this, but I figured we'd get the drop on whoever it was this time, and we could probably just observe who it was, so we didn't have to engage the Judge if it was him.

With my luck, it would be...

"AZ when you checked the #box of Nilla wafers# you found a heavy cross in it right? Your probably thinking "How do you know?" Well I was watching you through the corner of my eye. Anyway I happen to have an idea of what to do with that cross. I'll tell you if your willing to come and investigate the @forest@ with me. If your coming I'll be downstairs."

*While downstairs I pocket the lurker diary which has a clue of what to do with the cross.*

The Hospital- The loud crash startles all of the men in the blood-soaked entrance hall... It could have been anything... It could even be... the Judge. Nate quickly recomposes himself... And tries to weigh all of the possible scenarios that he could take. While he does so, he turns around in place, just gawking at the scene before him... Chairs are overturned and shredded, tables are broken, and there are scarpes and holes in the walls... And then there is the blood... So much blood... What could have done this? Steve falls to the ground, unable to support his own weight again. This snaps all of the researchers back into action... Steve needed help, and fast... But they couldn't just ignore that sound... What if it was a survivor? ...What if it was the Judge? ...What if it was something worse? That didn't matter now. They had to figure out what was going on in the operating room, and get Steve into the Emergency Room as soon as possible. TJ bend over to Steve and puts two fingers to his neck... He looks back up at the others and sighs deeply...

"It's really shallow..." He chokes out

Nate spun around and put a finger to his lips, but didn't make any sound, gesturing that he wished them to be completely silent. He then pointed to Tur and Natus, and then pointed to himself, and then in the direction of the loud noise, indicating he wanted them to follow him and investigate. He then turned to Key and TJ, pointed down to Steve, and mouthed the words 'stay here'. Key and TJ nodded, knowing that someone had to stay with Steve...

Nate pulls his baseball bat out from behind his shirt, gripping it with expert skill. Tur rubbed his arm, almost out of instinct now, remembering the last time he decided to check out a strange noise... Tur shook his head silently, trying to forget every memory of that horrible incident. He pulls out his pool cue, 'Mr.Stabby', which was still stained red with the blood of Mrs. Jones. It was the only thing he could rely on right now... On the other side of Nate, Natus pulls out his magnum and points towards the ground, whispering to himself:

"Not the Judge... Oh god please, not the Judge..." He squeaks

Moving as one entity in complete silence, Nate pushes open the door quietly with his bat... Natus raises his magnum and Tur chokes up on Mr. Stabby. With one final deep breath, the rush into the room, with little regard to what dangers may lie inside...

Key and TJ watch as the three burst into the operating room. TJ pulls over a cushion from a destroyed chair and puts it under Steve's head. His breathing is starting to become few and far between. He is dying before their very eyes. TJ just kneels over his fallen comrade, while Key gets up to his feet and just surveys the area... and says a prayer for those who just entered the OR. Key looks back at TJ and Steve, before deciding to do a bit of research while he waited for Tur, Nate, and Natus to return... if they returned... But then, Key actually began to get a tad angry...

"I knew someone would leave me behind...." He said in a low voice. "There's blood every where, low moans, and all I've got here is a steel pipe, and the only person with a gun has 2 bullets. Great... Well, I might as well look around here for now..."

Hey, it isn't like MF didn't warn them about the hospital... Key shrugs off that thought and heads over to the welcoming desk...

Turducken, Seymour Natus, and NateDaTater- The three valient researchers silently slide into the operating room... weapons drawn. The room is ravaged... Big Surprise right? But in the back of the room, near a window, they find something that they never would expected... There is a man standing here, shirtless, holding a Samurai Edge M29F Custom Handgun in each hand... Wait a minute... I thought that the Samurai Edge was a myth, originated in Raccoon City? But there is no denying it. The Kendo Gun Shop logo is emblazed on both guns... They were 100% real. The man standing there seems oblivious to the three men who just entered the room... His long black hair is wet, possibly from perspiration, and he seems unsteady on his legs. Both of his guns are pointed towards the ceiling, and he is breathing very heavily... Tur is the first to follow the man's gunline, and is therefore the first to see what the man is aiming at... It is a monstrocity... Is that... A skinless human? It is attached to the ceiling by the use of some pretty nasty looking claws... But what really stands out on this thing is the tongue... It looks extremely long... and sharp... razor sharp... Natus and Nate soon follow Tur's stare, and Natus can barely contain his wealth of knowledge...

"A Licker!" He practically screams

Wow... Big mistake... The licker turns it's head towards the three researchers and lets loose a throaty growl... Saliva falls from it's mouth in pools, it's razor sharp teeth glistening from the hospital's white lights... The man with the dual handguns doesn't ever take his eyes off of the Licker, but he does manage to give our researchers one valuable piece of advice...

"I'd shoot that thing if I were you..." The man says, almost sarcastically

Natus raises his Magnum, unsure of himself...

"You have two ****ing guns! You shoot it!" Tur screams out

"It doesn't seem to mind me so much anymore... I thank you kindly for that." The man sneers

And with that, the licker drops down from the ceiling with another low growl... In a situation such as this, no one took the time to thoroughly examine the room. The only thing Nate, Tur, and Natus see before them is a very angry #licker# and a very heartless #man#... And that lickers looks like it could attack at any moment... Tur quickly says a prayer... He has a bad habit of walking into horrible situations...

KeyCard25- Key walks around the entrance hall, still sickened by the all of the blood surrounding him. If there was this much blood in the entrance hall, how much blood was there in the other areas? Ugh... That was probably not the best thing to be thinking about at a time like this... Key searches the hall, and doesn't find much... At the end of the hall there is a #welcoming desk# with a #clipboard# and #something black# on it... The desk also seems to have #a drawer# that could possibly be opened. If he wanted to keep searching, he could head into @the waiting room@, @the emergency room@, @the operating room@, @the recovery room@ or @the doctor's office@. His thought process is interupted however, as someone has screamed out from the OR:

"A Licker!" The voice shouts

Nope. That was not a good sign... Key runs back over to TJ and Steve, gripping his pipe tightly, ready to protect them both if that time came... What a valient effort... But would a steel pipe be enough to protect the three of them?

AZPunisher and Celestial Cry- CC's head was a swirl of thoughts and counter-thoughts... Nothing was making sense, and nothing was working out... CC had been silent for much of the night, and didn't even seem to realize that AZ had been talking to her.

"Hey... If you're not heading out right away, I could use an extra pair of eyes..." He had said, before heading up the stairs.

When AZ's words finally registered to CC, AZ was already long gone up to the second floor. At the top of the stairs, AZ is met with several doors.

"Decisions, decisions..." AZ starts, "...Well, I guess she isn't coming..."

"Guessed wrong." CC says, smiling as she climbs the stairs. AZ is relieved as well. Being alone had been profitable for him so far, but it was always nice to have human company.

"I say we check around here first, and then see if we can head into the bathroom, and then into Room 003." AZ suggests

"Sounds good to me." CC agrees

And with that, AZ begins exploring the second floor hallway. He first heads over to small table, and opens the drawer. Inside he finds #a flashlight#, which he takes. He plays with it a little and tries to turn it on... It doesn't work... AZ opens it up to find out why. Ah ha... No batteries... Damn. It takes two D sized batteries. Batteries that AZ doesn't have. Useless now... But it could save lives later... He puts it away in his pocket for now, as CC examines the flower pot. There is a lovely bouquet of flowers inside, but CC is determined to find something from nothing, and she deroots the flowers from the pot. There is #a yellow plug# underneath the flowers... If CC had a WTF flag, she'd be waving it right about now. She picks out the plug and holds it in her hand... She is confused as to why she is taking it, but she does... Something so crazy now could mean the difference between life and death later. AZ smiles at CC and they head over to the bathroom, with AZ never holstering his gun. AZ kicks the bathroom door, not even bothering to test whether it was open or not. His foot connects with the door, and it does not budge. AZ kicks it again. Again it does not budge. CC tries the knob and lo and behold, it ISN'T locked. The knob turns, but it seems like there is some kind of obstruction in front of the door, casuing it to stay shut. AZ tries to push the door open, and it doesn't budge. CC joins in and the door barely moves a centimeter or two... If they had one more person helping them, they are sure they could get it open... Unfortunately for them, they had no third person. The bathroom would have to wait for now. Following up on their earlier plan, AZ and CC head back over the shattered glass and into Room 003. It was unlocked. A nice change seeing as most of the downstairs rooms were locked. Room 003 is very nice. The bed is well made, and soft, and the furnishings were very nice. There was an antique #wooden desk# next to the bed with a drawer in it. Wow, that thing had to be several hundred years old. There was a mini-fridge and a #bookcase# as well. Finally, there was a #closet# that was currently closed. This was a nice room... Had the situations not been so dire, AZ would definately have rented a room here. CC is thinking the exact same thing... This room could be a valuable source of information... But where should they begin?

ljfromsa- Hearing the crash was very startling to say the least... Especially in the darkened Warehouse. lj was unarmed, and that crash could have been anything...

"Okay... I have to use logic now. That Judge's job is to seek us out and kill us. So... It wouldn't wait for us in place they don't expect us to come too would it? Maybe someone followed me from the Inn or maybe there are more survivors then we thought." lj steps in the shadows as he speaks softlyto himself, "Okay... Maybe if I look carefully I'll see a shadow of who might be in here from the light coming in. I'll have to make my move depending on what I see..."

lj then remembers his meeting with AZ in the Genral Store, and pulls out the Gamecube Az gave him... lj grins as he takes the handle of the Cube... as his choice of weapon... "I guess I'll owe AZ if this ends up saving my life..." He says thankfully

From his spot in the shadows, he just slightly catches a figure moving close by... an eight-legged figure... A big ass spider... A big ass scary spider... And it was slowly making it's way towards the area where lj was hidden away... Would it see him if it got any closer? Could he be able to run past it? Should he try and beat it in the head with the GameCube? ...What has this T-Dragon virus done to this place...?

The Basement- It is pitch black. Blacker then black. This place ate light... That is how dark it was... GSMY was beginning to think that there wasn't even a light source down here... And it was freaking him out... The three men couldn't even see each other, although they were only inches from one another. Tidus couldn't even see his shotgun, and he was holding that at eye level... After a few moments of complete silence, a very panicked GSMY feels that it is necessary to speak his mind...

"I know it sounds stupid guys, but I have to go back up. Without something to aid you guys, I'll be no better than Steve... just extra weight. I'll head back up I'll read the remaining stuff, until you guys come back or find a light switch." He says very quickly...

And with that, GSMY backtracks his way to the stairs, and begins to run up them... He doesn't even give MF or Tidus a chance to change his mind... He was gone. Self preservation at it's best... MF let out an audible sigh, and then groaned, as he had a feeling of what was going to come next...

"I can understand if you want to turn back Tidus, but I have made my mind up to continue on. There has to be a light switch somewhere, it's not like the power has been cut or anything..." MF says with determination
Tidus took MF's comment as an invitation to get out... And damn if he didn't take it...

"MF maybe we should turn back for now. Only until we find a light source..." He warns

MF remains silent, and Tidus takes that as his answer... Tidus lowers his shotgun and backtracks to the stairs, where he too runs up them... MF was alone again, and surrounded by the darkness...

"God help us all....." Was the only thing that came to his mind...

GoldenSunMasterYami- True to his word, GSMY headed right back upstairs and sat down at the file table... trying to collect his thoughts... His heart was racing from his basement adventure... And nothing had even happened... GSMY looks up as Tidus comes out of the basement door.

"Where's MF?" GSMY questions Tidus

"Crazy bastard wants to stay down there..." Tidus answers, "Who am I to force him to come up, eh?"

GSMY just nods and looks down at the table... The only things left to read are the diary and the note from Evan's House, House 100. GSMY opens the diary first, and finds that several pages have been torn out. It could still be of some use though, so he begins to read...

File #18- Mrs. Jones' Diary

4/13/03- Wow... This Village is so beautiful. It's so much more then I could have ever imagined! At first I didn't agree with Evan's acceptance of his new job, but this place looks like paradise on Earth. It should be a great place to raise Jim and Stacy... Umbrella is the most wonderful company in the world. I couldn't thank them enough for everything they've given us...

[Pages are missing...]

8/2/03- People are coming into the bar from the Research Center more and more often, complaining about the handling of sensitive materials... They are saying that with the way people are treating the materials in that place, they wouldn't be surprised if there was an accident sometime soon...

[Several more pages are missing...]

12/25/03- Christmas morning, and Umbrella again proves why they are the best corporation ever. They gave Evan a $25,000 bonus! Just for running the bar! I think that is wonderful! This is the best Christmas ever...

[Yep. More missing pages... It looks like someone had done this purposely... Like they had censored the diary...]

4/13/04- Oh my God! We've just been informed by the speaker system that 45 people died today at the Research Center... There had been an accident of some sort... I knew those people... I'll have to pray for their souls to safely reach heaven.

4/14/04- People from the Research Center are calling yesterday's event, 'Judgment Day'. They are also beginning to doubt what they are doing in the Center... Just what are they doing in the Center? Speaking of which, Dr. Karter ordered that the Center be closed until further notice... He really took the accident hard. He blames himself... I feel sorry for that poor man...

4/15/04- A helicopter landed today at the Karter Mansion... Dr. Karter has ordered his gate locked and guarded ever since the accident, so I couldn't get a good look at who got out. All I could see was that he was wearing sunglasses... He seemed to have had a meeting with Dr. Karter... Whatever they discussed got Dr. Karter enthusiastic again, because as soon as the helicopter left, Karter got on the speaker system and told us that the Center would be decontaminated and re-opened as soon as possible. He sure got his scientist's spirit back... I'm happy for him...

4/16/04- Another helicopter landed today at the Karter Mansion. This time I got a better look at who got out. It wasn't the man from yesterday, but instead two other scientists... Friends of Dr. Karter. Someone at the bar told me that their names were Dr. Wilder and Dr. Martin. They had come to help Dr. Karter with his research. It's good to have such reliable friends, I'm sure. Those three went straight to the Center, as it was cleared to be re-opened... That's good and all, but we can't just forget the 45 people that died earlier this week... That would be sacrilege.

4/20/04- The Center finally re-opened to all of the other workers... But I haven't seen Dr. Karter since he and his friends went into the Center about 4 Days ago... weird...

8/24/04- This is horrible! There has been another accident at the Center! A virus has gotten loose in the Center, and someone from the inside got out, not knowing they had been infected... And they won't even let us leave the Village! What is going to happen to us...? Why are they calling this the 'Second Judgment'?!

8/25/04- I got bit on the ankle today by a mouse... It was pretty painful... The wound burns... and itches...

8/$6/0!- Evan's gone bar... There are still people that need drink at time like this... But people are turning... into... God, I don't know...

Whoa... GSMY is in shock... What happened in the Research Center? And it seems that Wilder and Martin have only been in the Village for a few months... Right after the first accident... There were so many thoughts swirling around in GSMY's head that it wasn't funny... His hand shaking from everything he had just read, GSMY turns to the note that Tur said he had found hidden in a picture frame... He unfolds that, and reads it as well...

File #19- Hidden Note

Honey, I hope you never need to use this information... but if you do, I wish you the best of luck, and I want you to know that I'll always love you. I'll no doubt be dead, and I couldn't protect you myself, so this is my last attempt to do so... In the bar, if you open the refrigerator there will be a jar of olives. Inside is the key to my gun case. Use it and protect yourself and the kids. I love you so much...
~Evan

GSMY has a tear in the corner of his eye... Evan was such a good person... And we couldn't save him... or his family... What have we done? What do we do now...?

Tidus41390- "Crazy bastard wants to stay down there..." Tidus says to GSMY, "Who am I to force him to come up, eh?"

GSMY nods to him and turns down to the files in front of him. Tidus walks over and takes the blank yellow book and the Lurker's Diary off of the table. Could be important. GSMY doesn't even realize that Tidus had taken it. He was too absorbed in the diary... Tidus paces back and forth with his shotgun in tow, trying to think of what to do... He then remembers the content of the Lurker's Dairy, and the fact that AZ had found a big cross inside of a box he was carrying... Tidus runs half-way up the stairs and calls out to AZ...

"AZ when you checked the box of Nilla wafers you found a heavy cross in it right? I happen to have an idea of what to do with that cross. I'll tell you if your willing to come and investigate the forest with me. If your coming I'll be downstairs." Tidus screams out

Tidus heads back down the stairs and is very anxious to head out to the forest. He has a hunch... But that fact that he was blackmailing AZ with unknown information was cruel... Combine that with the fact that Tidus tried to blow off AZ's head, and there might be a scuffle in the near future. Then again, AZ might very well have the same hunch as Tidus... Tidus returned to pacing back and forth... He wanted to go now... But he had to wait for AZ's answer first...

MisterFurious- Being left alone in an extremely dark basement was not MF's idea of a good time... or a safe time... or a sane time... but hey, he was determined. MF started to feel his way through the dark, bumping into odds and ends, not being able to distinguish between chairs and bedsheets in the dark... He bangs his head on something, which causes him to scream out several choice expletives... He can't see a thing... Why did he choose to stay down here? MF continues to feel around until his hand falls upon #something wet#... MF's stomach sank... He was torn between running out of there right now, and exploring further... He knew if he was attacked now, he'd have no chance to defend himself in the dark... But MF was curious... Let's just hope he isn't also a cat...

"Oooh s***," Nate whispered to himself. He quickly glanced around the room to see if there was a way out other than the way they came in. Seeing none, he tightened up his grip on his bat and put himself in an athletic position, ready for whatever that thing might do. It was definitely hostile, he could tell that much.

As Seymour slowly raised his gun, an idea suddenly came to Nate. Without taking his eyes off the creature, he said to Seymour, "Don't shoot. I have an idea."

"Tur, back up to the door. Seymour, you follow suit, but keep your gun on that thing, and if it advances, blow it away. This oughta give that selfish piece of s*** some incentive to kill... whatever that is," he concluded, sneering at this thought, but still not taking his eyes off the creature.

They all three back-pedaled towards the door. Nate's plan was this: They would all three go back out into the waiting room and close the door. If it came at them, Seymour could blow it away. But Nate didn't want him to have to waste that shot while the man in there had two full clips... and extended ones, at that. They would get back out into the waiting room and close the door, and let that man in there do the dirty work.

They were nearly to the door. Nate took one hand off his bat and reached behind himself to find the knob. His hand found it, after fumbling for a moment. He turned the knob...

"Please let this work" lj thinks to himself. before the spider got to close to him lj throws the game cube to the other side of the ware house. the spider stops turns around and goes off to investigate the crash it heard.keeping his eye on the spider lj begins to make his break for the door. The spider finally hearing lj turns around, but the distance was to great to catch up. As lj exits he noticed the spider shoots a liquid out towards him with a very small a mount grazing the back of his hoody.Outside he quickly takes it off and notice that whatever the spider spit at him was able to burn through thing. "I guess i owe Az" lj says quietly and jokingly to himself back on his way to the inn. "I know I've seen him(az) somewhere before". "Could he be member of S.T.A.R.S?".fatigue finally starts taking it's toll on lj he nearly collapse as soon as he steps in the inn.He uses his last ounces of strength to make his way to the nearest couch, to write a note warning of the spider and requesting to ask AZ a question? "all i want is one small break"lj says quietly before falling asleep.

Haha! Oh, god, what a surprise! A monster! And an unhelpful ass! Teeee-rific!

Seymour, Nate, and myself went to go investigate the noise. And it turned out to be a man, with twin handguns. And…a monster. And despite his two guns, he wasn’t helping.

"You have two ****ing guns! You shoot it!" I yelled at this jerk after he told Seymour to fire on it. Could he possibly have been out of ammo? Nah. He was aiming at it, so that didn’t make much sense.

I got quite pissed. I wanted to charge him, tackle him, smack the holy hell out of him, take both his guns, and go John Woo on that god damn monster’s ass.

Didn’t think that was such a great idea, though. I’d get shot, or…monstered, or a light fixture would conk me on the head or something with my luck.

"Tur, back up to the door. Seymour, you follow suit, but keep your gun on that thing, and if it advances, blow it away. This oughta give that selfish piece of **** some incentive to kill... whatever that is," Nate said.

I very reluctantly agreed to this. Sure, the guy was an ass, but I didn’t feel right about leaving him to fend for himself. But screw it: I was hurt, the guy was armed, and I couldn’t take the monster armed only with good ol’ Mr. Stabby.

I backed up to the door, and decided to give this moron one more chance. “Toss me those guns, or even just one, and I will gladly blow the hell out of that thing.”

<OOC> Holy hell! I forgot to write my status again!

I also forgot to finish writing my plan. I was going to hold the door for, first, Tur, by holding it open with my foot, keeping both hands on the bat. Next would be Seymour, still backpedaling, keeping his gun trained on the monster. As soon as Seymour was out of the way of the door, I would step to the other side and slam the door behind us, leaving Sneering Man to fend for himself.

*Thinks to himself where he might be able to find some batteries.. doesn't recall seeing any at the market, but he might have missed some at the General Store.. seeing CC take up his lead, and ravaging the flower pot, he can't help but smile.. eyebrows lifting as she finds a plug..*

"Huh.. interesting."


*Moving on, to the bathroom, he finds quite a resilient door.. with no luck of opening it, he hears that **** Tidus screaming about something from the stairs.. wondering why the hell he wants to go off and frolic in the forest.. Frank had planned on heading to the Hospital, in hopes of finding 6 people alive and well, and rolling herbs up for everyone.. still, there might be something of interest out there after-all.. Tidus seems to have a good hunch.. so Frank decides to think about it..*

"Bastard has some nerve.. I'm not going anywhere until we clear this floor though.. come on, Doll.."


*Leaving the bathroom for now, he heads over to Room 003, and takes a look around w/CC.. thinking it is quite a nice room.. a slight smirk as he thinks of circumstance and opportunity..*

"Damn.. that bed sure looks comfy, eh..?"


*With that, he heads over to the wooden desk, and opens the drawer.. examining thoroughly.. soon after moving over to the closet, and doing the same..*

"What's up with that Bookcase, Rachel? Anything of interest..?"


*After they finish with this room, he waits for her, then heads back into the hall, and on to Room 004..*

"Maybe this room will have a radio, or an alarm clock w/some batteries.."

"Alone in the dark....Man that game scared the crap out of me..." I couldn't help but smile, since now I was the star in my very own survival horror game.

After hearing both Tidus and GSMY leave, I decide to press on. "It's only a game right?......Sure, except I don't have any extra men."

The darkness was penetrating, almost suffocating. "There has to be a light-"

I stop dead in my tracks as I feel something wet across my fingers. My entire body breaks into a cold sweat, and my heart races. Backing up into what I think is a wall, I remain silent, straining to listen for anything. "What....the....hell...." I say to the darkness.

Smelling my fingers, I can't tell what the liquid is, but I keep my gun trained to where I think the spot was.

When my pulse slows, I decide I have come to far to turn back now. "Nothing down here can be worse than the Judge" I remind myself.

I continue on into the darkness, looking for light.....

There's more to life than video games! Like television!

GSMY didn't know how to handle everything he read but he did one thing he had to get to work doing something useful. He decided to go upstairs and give a hand to AZ and CC.


GSMY found Lj on the couch, no doubt running from something in the Warehouse. He tore an empty page from his notebook and wrote "I found the Warehouse Office Key in the towel and I'm leaving it in your pocket". Next, he opened the laptop reading the characters from the back of Mrs. Jones diary he heads up to Room 004 trying to input the charactes as a password using the names of her kids as users.

"Great. The one monster in the bestiary that has no info on weaknesses, and you run into it..."SN thinks to himself.

*His weapon still raised, SN realises that the Licker is frequently changes his target, to whoever was talking. Then SN realised - it has no eyes.*

"Guys, shut up."He says in a near whisper.

*They look at him, wondering why he's lowered his weapon...*

"It's blind, it can only hear you. Be silent."He explains in a whisper.

*SN knows that it doesn't make the situation any less terrifying, but at least it helps...That must have been why the Samurai edge guy didn't shoot - he figured it out too. SN then notices that Nate is going for the door.*

The Village is over-run with strange monsters. Whats worse is there is a nemesis chasing us every step of the way. I will still survive the village!

*What the hell is Seymour doing?!* Nate thought as he stood there holding the door for Turducken as he backpedaled out of the room. He stared at Seymour's idle self in utter horror.

*So what if it's blind and only reacts to noises?! The door will be shut by the time it finally moves!* Nate thought, coloring a bit with frustration and anger.

Ignoring what Seymour had said just a few moments earlier, he spoke, though little above a whisper. "If you want to waste one of your two shots on this thing, while a man stands there with two loaded handguns and refuses to help us, so be it. Tur and I can't help you with what he have. Make up your mind, and make it quick."

Nate tightened his grip on his bat, still keeping his foot in the way of the door. He narrowed his eyes and prepared for whatever was about to happen.
