John looked at the woman with some confusion, he had never heard of zombies before, but, to be sure, he got back up, still felling a bit of a hungover, picked up the steel pipe that he found on the road before and said to the lady.
"Zombies? never heard of them before, and how can someone walk around with holes in them? even without any pain... It just seems illogical to me... Gah, dam this hangover, well, only one way to fix that.
John had a look at the remaining beer from his bottle he brought from the bar, taking a sip from it, he sighed in satisfaction and sad to himself as he placed the bottle on the table near the couch.
"ah... that is slightly better, better keep the rest of this later, don't know how long these... zombies, or whatever will be around for"
John then moved towards the window and looked at the supposed zombies were, looking horrified at one of them, who had one arm and a chunk of his neck missing from his body, he then turned to the lady and said to her.
"Well I guess you are right about the zombie thing... How could a man even still stand with his arm and a chunk of his neck missing? It's as if they were dead or something."

Chris came from behind John. He looked out the window, and squinted. He studied the the people outside the house.
"No way..." He said, he wipped out his phone, and looked at the pic he took back at the accident. The man in the picture had similar injuries to the people outside the house.
"I've seen these guys. I... I think I hit one on my way through this place. I swerved off road, ended up down a hill about twenty yards down."
His voice was shakey. "I think I killed him." But zombies? Theres no way, theres gotta be a logical explantion for this." Holding his phone up to John. "Look those burns, the skin pigment. Maybe were near some nuclear testing grounds or something...?" He held his crowbar tight.
"Damn it..." Chris tried dialing 911, but his pone had no bars, and the batteries were dieing. Why doesn't this stupid thing work?!" He banged it against his hand.
"Maybe we should try barricading this place? It's getting dark, and I'm not going out there where I can't see anything."
He paced back and forth, thinking of whats going to happen. He killed the guy, his whole future is gone. Manslaughter... But this isn't important right now. What the H*** is going on?, he thought.

(( Let's try to revive this thread, alright folks? ))
Ben quickly turns the light on, and tells Barbara ''Put the other lights on''. As Barbara goes and turns the lights on, Ben searches for tools to barricade the house. After a little bit of searching, Ben asks Barbara to help him once again. ''Why don't you search around the house for some wood, so we can board this place up?'', Barbara, however, doesn't comply, and instead gets closer to Ben.
When Ben sees that, he screams ''COME ON GODDAMN--'', but then he pauses for a second, gets closer to Barbara and says ''Look, I know you're afraid, I'm afraid too. But we have to try to board the house up together. I'm going to board up the windows and the doors. Do you understand? We'll be alright here, we'll be alright until someone comes and rescues us. But we'll have to work together, you'll have to help me. Now go on and search for some wood, so I can board the place up, do you understand? Okay? Okay?'' Barbara nods and leaves.
However, she quickly returns with a small piece of wood, and Ben already manages to take out a door. He then barricades the closes door using the wood that he has, all while being helped by Barbara. ''Good, now go on and bring as many pieces of wood as you can find.''
Some minutes later...
Ben managed to barricade the entire room. ''Now, this room is pretty secure, if we have to we can run here and board the doors. They won't get in now, they're afraid now.'' says Ben while quickly moving to another room. ''They're afraid of fire, I figured that out.'' Ben says while breaking some chairs in the other room. Then, he once again says ''There was this diner, Dean's Diner? Anyway that's where I found that truck that I came with. There's a radio on the truck, I jumped in and listened to it. Then there was this gasoline truck 'screaming' right across the road. There must have been 10-15 of those things, chasing after it. Grabbing and holding on. Now I couldn't see them first. I could just see that the truck was moving in a funny way. And those things were catching up to it. It came right across the road. Snapped out the brakes. I guess the driver must have cut out the road, into that gas station at Dean's Diner. It went right through it, ripped out a gas pump, and never stopped moving. Didn't know if the truck was explode or what. It didn't matter... The screaming... Those things, they just pulled him apart. I looked at the Diner, to see if there was anyone there who could help me. That's when I noticed that the entire place has been encircled. There wasn't any sign of life there... But when I heard those screams, I realized that I was alone. 50 or 60 of those things, just... standing there. Staring at them. I started to drive, I just plowed right through them. They didn't move, they didn't ran or... just stood there staring at me.''
''We were driving to the cemetery.'' replied Barbara. Johnny... Johnny... We came to our fathers grave. Johnny... and he said.. can I have some candy Barbara. But we didn't have any. And... Ohh, it's hot here... And he said: Ohh, why didn't we start so late. So I told him that if he didn't wake up so late we wouldn't be here. Johnny asked me if I was afraid. And then I said: I'm not afraid Johnny. And then this man started walking slowly down the road. And my brother started teasing and saying ''He's going to get you Barbara''. And then I laughed at him and said Johnny, stop it. And then, Johnny ran away. So I came to the man to ask him to forgive him, and he grabbed me! HE GRABBED ME! ''
Seeing this, Ben says ''Just calm down!'', but Barbara continued: ''So I screamed Johnny! Johnny help me! And then Johnny ran and he fought this man! And I got so afraid, I ran. I ran! I ran! And Johnny didn't come.''
Ben started barricading the rest of the room.

"I can't say things are any better for me." Cattleya said as she began to break apart a table for extra wood. "I was supposed to meet some friends today and when they didn't show up, I went back home. I didn't even see any of those things until a while later. Whether it was a few minutes or a few hours, I can't tell you, but soon my best friend came to get me."
Cattleya took a deep breath before continuing, "His exact words were 'Catty! It's the living dead! Zombies!' and that we needed to go because some of my friends were already killed. He then handed me a bag and stuffed something in my pocket. Then, right when we stepped out of my house, one of my neighbors came and killed him before I could do anything, so I took his bat and ran off.
"Running through the streets was hell, especially since I was only armed with a wooden baseball bat." Catty let out a snort and added sarcastically, "Happy birthday to me."
She carried the newly broken pieces of wood over to Ben.

John looked as Cattleya and Chris started barricading the door, wanting to help out, he decided to start barricading the window with the couch he was sleeping on before.
Just as he was about to block the window, he heard bashing at the windows, looking closely on the other side of it, he saw a zombie trying to get in, turning around, he said to Cattleya and Chris.
"Looks like they are trying other ways to get in... but once I get this couch in place, I shoul-"
Just then, the zombie had broken the glass from the window, grabbing John by the neck and strangling him, attempting to bite his head while his face was pressed on the window.
Struggling to break free, John quickly grabbed a large shard of glass and continually stabbed the zombies arm, seeing that it was still strangling him, he used his free arm to break free of it's grip, giving him a scratch on the arm in the prossess. Screaming in pain, he said to himself.
"Damn... They can sure take a beating... Hey could any of you help fortify the window, I dont know how much longer the window itself can hold...
John continued to hold his arm in pain, he did what he could to stop it from bleeding, but he would need medical treatment, since the wound was pretty deep.

Seeing as John was wounded, Ben said ''Listen, we can't go to a hospital, there's too many of those... things out there. Can you hold on a little longer?'', then continued barricading the room.
Barbara, however, started talking again. ''Maybe he's still there! We have to get Johnny! We have to get Johnny!''. Ben ignores Barbara, and keeps on barricading. ''Please! Don't you hear me? We got to go out and get him! PLEASE! WE HAVE GOT TO GET JOHNNY!''. Seeing as Ben isn't listening, Barbara rushes towards him, then turns him towards her. ''PLEASE! HELP ME! YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME!'', Ben replies ''Go on the couch and get some sleep.'', however Barbara doesn't listen and screams even louder. ''DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU HAVE TO HELP ME! MY BROTHER IS ALIVE!''. Ben calmly tells her ''Your brother is dead.'', but she doesn't believe him. ''NO! MY BROTHER IS NOT DEAD!'' then heads to the door, but Ben catches her before she can open it and let all the zombies inside. Seeing that, Barbara slaps Ben, then Ben slaps Barbara as well, however, she faints.
Ben grabs her and gently puts her on the couch,then heads over to the radio and turns it on. A voice is heard, and Ben listens to it, as do the other survivors.
''Because of the threat to the untold number of citizens, and because of the crisis which is even now developing, this station will remain on the air day and night. This station and hundreds over other radio and TV stations in this part of the country are putting their resources to keep you informed of all developments.'' The radioman keeps talking, and in the meantime Ben leaves the room and starts barricading the rest of the house.
''At this hour -- These are facts I repeat! -- There's an epidemic of mass murder committed by a virtual army of unidentified attackers. It seems to be a general explosion of mass homicide. We have certain descriptions of the assassins: They appear to be coordinated, some say they appear to be in some kind of trance, other describe them as being --''
Ben looks on a window and notices that there are zombies gathering outside the house. He quickly searches around the house, and takes various items from different places inside the house, and then makes a primitive torch, and also gets a nearby chair ready. He opens a door, takes the chair outside, and puts the torch on it. The fire makes the zombies back away a bit. He then goes back inside, and finishes barricading the rest of the house.
(( Esca, you're next, then Jeryen, and so on, until we get some more members. ))

ooc: Alex, I understand that you're trying to be more like the movie and I know how the dialogue of the movie goes since I've seen both versions a couple hundred times, but you really need to interact with the characters or go against the movie a little bit. So far, it only seems that everyone but the actual characters from Night of the Living Dead are going against the movie and when we talk to your characters, you ignore us.
I'm not telling you how to run your RP, but if you could, please interact with the rest of us to make it more fun.
Cattleya dropped her hammer when the rest of the place was barricaded. It may not have seemed like much, but barricading the doors took a little bit out of her and the piano bench she sat on felt great. The guys had more muscle than she did. She looked around and asked calmly, "So, what do we do now?"
