THE RUN DOWN
Zombies vs. Humans, Martin Methodist College. From 12PM October 27th, to October 29th, time unspecified.
Zombies identified by red bandannas, humans by blue. Humans may carry an unlimited, self-supplied supply of socks. Socks may be thrown at zombies to 'stun' them for 15 seconds. Zombies only have to tag a human to infect them. Dead hours are from 12AM to 8AM. Safe zones are buildings.
The following are my logs of play. 12PM. Game begins. I exited the Gault unharmed, saw no one. Got to the cafeteria, ran into a fellow human with a zombie just behind. Avoided, got to caf. From there I went and sat in Martin Hall, remained safe. Watched a few other zombies tag team people, but it was otherwise quiet.
Reached apartment unharmed, in for the night.
I heard reports from Upperman Residential that two humans were standing on the steps of Upperman, firing arrows with socks on the end at zombies to keep them away while humans entered and exited the hall. Others have taken PVC pipe with socks on the ends as double ended weapons.
Day 2. Exited apartment, reached cafeteria. There were zombies everywhere, even watched a few sneak out the caf after a human. I snuck out a spiral staircase to exit through the coffee shop. I ran into a friend, who was armed with two foam swords covered with socks. When I explained I'd have to cut through campus to get to work, he offered to escort me to his car and drive me at least off campus.
So I had a sock in one hand and his car keys in the other, we booked it out to his car in the Commuter Lot. Saw no zombies. Got to work unharmed. Left work, entered Colonial Hall. Could see zombies at a distant but was otherwise unharmed. As I passed Upperman three zombies exited the building but failed to notice me. I passed a guy with two tube socks being used like a ball and chain.
Zombie coming out of Johnston spotted me, met me on the sidewalk. I tagged her with a sock, and we kind of did a back and forth all the way up until I sprinted the last few yards to Martin Hall while she was stunned. It was a very narrow escape.
Unfortunately I had to head back to Colonial to turn in a time sheet. I acquired a mop stick minus the mop, with a sock on either end. I got as far as the gazebo ish area, making eye contact with a few zombies on the porch of the Abernathy house. At first they tried to sneak down, but eventually it ended up in a flat out run. On top of it were guys running from Johnston center.
It was over.
I am infected.
I took my place outside Johnston center, watching a library door and calling out to my fellows. Once I watched a human make a break for it, even sprinting through a neighboring yard to avoid the zombies. Probably the most amusing (and futile) was the young man who left the library and made a dive for a van, whose doors were open as staff unloaded tables and chairs.
Unfortunately for him the zombies decided that didn't count as a 'building' and mauled him.
As classes started, everything lulled. I moved to Martin Hall to watch there. Once, when the green was clear of zombies, I watched a guy sprint for his life - all the way from Upperman Haul to the Gault Fine Arts center. I've never seen someone move that fast in my life. He wasn't even being chased, but he sure wasn't risking it.
I got to be part of a tag team infection, and now I'm waiting. Classes let out soon. That's when all hell will break loose.
