Days Gone Bye
A Survival RPG

Starring:
Ahroro as Daniel Perdue, Ex-Coastguard
MacTrom as Wendy Sullivan, Nursing Assistant
loneviking as Gabriel Knight, Writer, and
scoro as Kobiyoko 'Kobi' Hazuki, Constable




Morning came hesitantly over the camp as the first day of Winter began to lay waste to the wilderness. The survivors, a small group who had slowly formed together over the last two months, lay amongst the tree huddled together as a cool breeze blew through the leaf litter. The forest was thick, a small clearly leaving enough room for the group to make camp - they'd been there, the four of them, for three days now. The plan, with lack of a better one, was the head South.

Several days away, at least via foot, was Redwood - once a metropolis city of several million people. Suburbia surrounding a huge commercial CBD, all nestled on the coastline that ran North to South. With the cold of winter just around the corner and supplies running low, the group had planned to head towards Redwood until a better option arose - at least there they would be assured to find shelter and supplies.

And the dead.

The sun had just begun its rise and a few members of the rag tag group started to rise. A large communal fireplace had been burning the night before - not ideal, but the warmth was vital for their survival out here in the middle of no and where - and the rations they had managed to salvage on their trip so far were burning low.

Gabriel was sitting on a log near the campfire and took a bite of a piece of jerky, savoring it. Food was getting scarce, that's what worried him. The cool winds sent a chill up his spine as he wrapped a blanket tighter around his body. They haven't seen any of those walkers in a while. Who knew how long that could last. Looking up at the rising sun he felt inspired and began to make notations in his journal.

Daniel opened an eye and growled at the rising sun. He gritted his teeth and shivered as he shifted upright, leaves and little twigs stuck to his matted hair as if they clung for dear life. He looked over at Gabriel sitting on the log and gave him a curt nod. "Morning" he grumbled scanning the forest quickly. He let out a sigh as he hefted his pack off of the ground and sat it on the log before fishing around for one of the packs of MRE's.

"Hmm, Scalloped Potatoes..." he thought to himself as he pulled it out and read the plastic. He let out a soft sigh and opened the package revealing a myriad of items within. He removed the water activated heating packet and slipped it into his pack. He pulled out the two pieces of gum and slipped them into his pocket, the matches he set on the log along with the wheat bread. He pulled out the sleeve containing the scalloped potatoes and set them on the other side. He folded up the bag and slipped it back in his pack.

He sat on the log and dug around in his pocket pulling out a pack of cigarettes. He opened it revealing his last. "What a wondrous morning for all.." He whispered secretly damning the state of the world. He put his last but to his lips and lit it with the matches from his MRE's.

"Well, this is the last bit of society I'm having for a while..." He said as loud as he dared, because if the smoke wasn't enough to attract the undead, the sound of voices would be. He fell silent as he gazed at the flames, trying to forget the hell that they found themselves in.

The whistle of birds and the quiet rummaging of small critters in the leaf litter was all the sound that came from the wilderness around them - the group was alone, hundreds of miles from another living being for all they knew. Overhead, clouds were rolling in from the East, threatening the take away the sun as quickly as it had dawned.

Kobi hadn't slept much that night, the cold of winter did it's best to see to the night being uncomfortable. She'd spent much of the night walking a perimeter around their camp, at least if she kept moving she would keep the circulation up.

After several hours she made her way back to the group she'd met not that long ago. Other than names she didn't know too much about them, only that they'd all experienced -for lack of a better word- zombies. She wasn't too prone to ingratiate herself with the group and therefore

Finding her spot at the campfire she lay down a plastic bag and began disassembling her two sidearms for cleaning. She'd yet to fire a shot from either of the pistols so cleaning them was as much out of routine as anything though she wasn't going to get eaten like she watched that fate inflicted upon her father.

Kobi watched the others in the group begin to wake up, not that any of them slept too long through any night recently. Who could blame them, winter was here now and they were in danger of freezing to death if they remained out in the wilderness much longer. She only hoped that was a fate those cannibals shared as well.

"Well, this is the last bit of society I'm having for a while..."

This caused the young constable to look up at Daniel Perdue. Male, five eleven, brown hair, olive eyes, thin muscular build. Has a lot of socks. His machete had proved itself a valuable asset in their survival attempts so far. They had one thing in common, they didn't trust anybody.

"I think we should move today. We are not far from the highway. If we stay longer this fire won't be enough." She spoke while reassembling her weapons and holstering each then crumpled up the bag and slipped it into her pocket.

"I think we should move today. We are not far from the highway. If we stay longer this fire won't be enough."
"We're not going anywhere without everyone eating first" He murmured as he reached for the box of scalloped potatoes. He held the box out to Kobi. "We're all running on fumes, we can't get far if someone passes out... so eat up." He said taking a drag off of the cigarette, the acrid smoke filling his lungs.

He smoked the cigarette slowly relishing every moment, as a silence hung around the campfire. He noticed a change in the smoke and realized he had burned it all the way to the filter. "Well that was wonderful while it lasted..." he mumbled dropping the smoldering filter to the ground and stepping on it.

"Either way I can't foresee us making it long out here. I'd think I'm nuts for saying this, but it has to be said..." The young veteran took a deep breath and pondered a moment how he should word his next statement.We need to find a more permanent shelter... F*** the highway..." he said his sailor tongue slipping for a moment. He shivered slightly as the breeze kicked up for a moment. He bent down and grabbed his machete, slipping it in his handmade sheathe.

Either way, you're right, we need to move. Hell perhaps they already firebombed those bastards... Maybe when we get to where we're going, everything is how it's supposed to be Daniel knew it was too much to ask. He knew that he wasn't suddenly going to wake up and it was all going to be a dream. His fiancee Gianna was mauled before his very eyes... her voice still resounded in his head. Her screams... They were what he woke to daily. Time to wake her up... he said thumbing towards the slumbering form on the ground at the other side of the log [bb]This seems to be one hell of a camping trip...[/b] he said mockingly.

He stood up and walked to Wendy, a sigh escaped his lips as he watched her sleeping peacefully. He crouched shaking her shoulder. "Get up... We're about to move.."

As Daniel reached for Wendy's shoulder, he realized it was just a lump formed by a bundle of clothes and her pack. As he shifted back in surprise, Wendy appeared out of the tree line, dressed and carrying a dead rabbit in one hand, a long knife in the other.

"Sorry, was out checking my traps. Found one good for breakfast. I got up when most of you sleepy heads were still sawing logs. Well, except for Kobi; she was at least actively keeping us safe. Thanks for that. I'll get this skinned and cooked to spice up the potatoes I see Daniel has out. "
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow. Things should start to get interestin' right about now

Gabriel watched Daniel and Kobi during their conversation but then went back to writing. He exhaled deeply. Why did this happen to me.. Things like this don't happen to me.

"What's that?" He called over to Gabe, overhearing him mumbling over his journal. He shook his head as he looked back down at the slumbering woman's form, slowly reaching out to shake her shoulder.


Daniel's hand went to his blade as he heard a noise in the forest. His eyes watched for any sign of movement. His brow furrowed as he saw Wendy crash through the brush. "So much for keeping quiet..." He sighed as he saw her stroll in with a rabbit in her hand.

"It's a bit dangerous to go it alone, don't you think?" He said standing with the small box of preserved potatoes in his hand. "Let's hope you didn't get followed..." He sighed as he held the box out to the Minnesotan. "Thank you though... a bit more protein would do us all some good." he finished as the crisp air chilled him to the bone.

Wendy smiled at Daniel's concern. "Dont you worry about me. My time with the Ojibwa people taught me how to track and be quiet in the woods. There wasn't any sign of walkers in the area and the game is still plentiful. "

She knelt down over the fire and proceeded to gut and skin her catch.

The vet couldn't help but smile softly at the news. "That's wonderful, at least we won't have to starve." He said half to himself, trying to hold onto that last glimmer of hope. "We might be able to pull through after all. A couple of good meals, and some rest... Maybe I'll feel human again." He sighed watching the leaves on the wind.

Like Kobi suggested though. We should move" he said judging the clouds moving in from the horizon. He silently calculated the thunderhead moving their way.

As the group discussed their plans and ensured their stomachs were full - well, at least, not empty - the serenity of the cold morning was cut in half as a single, distant gunshot echoed through the trees.

It sounded some way off, to the South as they had been heading the day before, and was followed by a second shot ten seconds later. To those in the group familiar with such things, the shot sounds like a hunting rifle.

Gabriel was about to explain to Daniel what he was writing when he heard the gun shots. He immediately stood up and became pale, a look of concern and panic on his face. He looked to Kobi who had become their unelected leader, at least to him. She was the strong, silent type whom he felt was the best choice to make decisions and keep them alive. Gabriel wasn't sure what Daniel thought about that.

"What...?"

He looked to the distance where the shots came from.

Kobi took the food with some reluctance. She wasn't all that hungry and didn't want to waste rations however she hadn't eaten in at least a day and thought better of passing on this meal. She gave a nod in thanks to Daniel and wasted little time devouring the food.

Soon Wendy returned from the woods, apparently her cleverly conceived decoy fooled the boys. With her was a fair sized rabbit, Kobi was a vegetarian so she wouldn't be partaking in this meal. She had a fair knowledge of their whereabouts and there was some farmland and hopefully with that lots of food.

Whether they took to the highway or not didn't matter to her just so long as they didn't stay still. It made her paranoid. Her paranoia however was rewarded by two gun shots.

Rifle fire." She exclaimed under her breath and without hesitation burst off toward the sound. If there was another survivor they sure could use an extra hand.

"Jackasses!!!!" Daniel exclaimed whipping his head towards the sound of the gunshots. "It seems you're correct in your assumption.. Bastards are going to bring them right down on us..." he fumed before starting to pace, his heart started beating quickly as the adrenaline hit his system. His mind cleared, as he began formulating a course of action.

"I'd say we head south... Towards the sound of shots..." He said still reviewing the situation. There's a city not too far from here and I'f I'm correct we'll have a horde coming at us from that direction. I'd just as soon hightail it and plow though a thinner horde than deal with every deader in the city.." he said his tone urgent.

At the sounds of gunshots, Wendy jumped up and stared off into the distance in the direction of the shots. As Kobi ran off into the woods, she stooped and scooped up the rest of the rabbit, stuffing it into a plastic bag and putting it into her knapsack, and then started gathering the rest of the cooking supplies.

"I think you're right we should get on the move before we get overrun. Gabriel? Get your stuff together. "

She gathers the rest of her gear and slides the Bowie knife into her hip sheath before looking after Gabriel and Daniel.

Slipping everything roughly into his pack, before setting it squarely on his back. He drew his machete and turned his gaze to the group. Shall we? he asked thumbing towards the sound of rifleshots.

Gabriel sighed deeply and nodded, grabbing his pack, ready to move. He had his .38 special revolver holstered on one side of his belt and a large hunting knife on the other. Gabriel stepped to the tree line and placed his journal in his pack. His adrenaline was pumping.

Daniel turned to face the south, Silently he slipped into the forest, his ears perking at the myriad of sounds trying to discern if there was already danger about. "We keep it tight, and we keep it low". He said to those behind and beside him. His machete out and ready, just in case things decide to pop off.

As the group moved out, more shots echoed off into the distance. A trained ear could tell that the shooter wasn't moving - as the party slowly moved off South, the shots got louder. The forest was mostly quiet otherwise, birds and other nearby creatures having retreated. Whether due to the sound or the smell of the dead, the survivors couldn't tell.

After ten cautious minutes of moving through the trees, the group came to a treeline ahead that opened onto a few large fields. On the opposite side of the farm corridor, the forest continued - between the group and the trees on the opposite side was a large section of open fields, two large buildings in the middle. A farm house and a large barn.

The shots echoed again, coming from the housing. Several figures could be seen wandering around the dwelling - from the way they were moving, they were likely the dead.
