ClubFloyd Transcript:
Divis Mortis by Lynnea Dally

As played on ifMUD on February 12, 2011

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Divis Mortis, written by Lynnea Dally. Divis Mortis was originally released as part of the 2010 Interactive Fiction Competition, where it took eleventh place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Nitku asks, "What are we playing?"
DavidW says, "Divis Mortis"
Gerynar arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. DavidW says, "which I decided on half an hour ago. :)"
inky arrives, full of fun, but no funk.
DavidW arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
Nitku arrives, full of fun, but no funk. inky says, "oh, I figured it was a tie-in with jayis"
DavidW says, "That's a mere lucky coincidence."
Roger arrives, full of fun, but no funk. DavidW says, "I haven't played Divis yet, which I think will help."
djfletch arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
jenrexrode arrives, full of fun, but no funk. DavidW says, "Jacqueline sends her regrets, by the way. She has a new laptop or notepad or whatever it is, but she needed today for other things."
DavidW says, "I don't know much about today's game. I gather it takes place in a hospital, and 'mortis' suggests to my mind a horror sort of game."
DavidW asks, "Anyway, who hasn't played this one? Other than me?"
Roger says, "Not I"
DavidW says, "hm. Well, I hope it's not just me in the driver's seat. I don't want to hog all the action."
Nitku says, "Me neither, but I'm not sure if I can stay focused all the time"
DavidW asks, "Anyway, no new faces today, so shall we just jump into it?"
DavidW clears the save counter.
DavidW says (to Floyd), "load divis"
Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0.

Floyd |
Floyd | You let out a deep and painful moan as you slowly realize you are
Floyd | awake on a cold, tiled surface.  Judging by the ache in your head and
Floyd | bones, you've been hit with a lead pipe and left to rot.  You grope at
Floyd | your head, but you can't feel anything, not through the thick rubber
Floyd | gloves you're wearing at any rate.  You flop over and moan again at
Floyd | the bright lights coming from the ceiling.  Your arm half-heartedly
Floyd | gropes around for something, and finds the metal railing of a vinyl
Floyd | bed.  You use it to steady your balance as you pull yourself up.  You
Floyd | close your eyes to help yourself adjust.
Floyd |
Floyd |  As your vision clears and your nausea subsides you are gifted with a
Floyd | very acute headache.  Feeling less groggy, a sudden realization of a
Floyd | deep, debilitating hunger nearly doubles you over in pain.  You can't
Floyd | remember how on earth this happened to you, but then retrograde
Floyd | amnesia is rather common in head trauma victims.  You take time to
Floyd | recover your senses, then assess the situation.

Floyd |
Floyd | Radiation Chamber
Floyd | You instantly recognize the special room of the hospital you are in;
Floyd | after all you've been working here for years.  You can see the
Floyd | delicate instruments of radiation treatment neatly positioned, ready
Floyd | to use. There is a worn green vinyl bed underneath the delicate
Floyd | machinery.  A quick glance around also finds you a smashed glass
Floyd | paperweight on the ground, which you suspect is the cause of your
Floyd | massive headache.  Your hunger is probably just from being knocked out
Floyd | for so long.  You also notice an airtight, electronic sealed door with
Floyd | a large button next to it.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can go south to the Control Room.

Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. Roger says, "What I'm trying to say here is that the stuff is delicate."
DavidW asks (of Roger), "hm?"
eladnarra arrives, ready to play with the toys.
Trumgottist gets bored and wanders off to the Toyshop.
Trumgottist arrives, ready to play with the toys.
Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x paperweight"
Floyd | >You see the shattered remnants of what formerly appeared to be a
Floyd | glass paperweight. Small chunks of glass lie in a heap upon the floor
Floyd | None of them are large enough to cut anything.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | >You look at yourself and find that you're wearing a large-pocketed,
Floyd | long lab coat, with thick rubber gloves and white boots to match.
Floyd |
Gerynar says (to Floyd), "x pockets"
Floyd | >Deep white pockets, useful for carrying things.  Inside you can see
Floyd | nothing.
Floyd |
Floyd | Searching more closely, you actually find your small good-luck compass
Floyd | in one of the pockets!  It will certainly prevent you from getting
Floyd | lost.
Floyd |
Ellison says, "I played this one in the comp, but I didn't get very far and I'm still not sure whether I ran into a bug or just gave up in frustration too soon"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x compass"
Floyd | >A small bauble. As far as navigation goes, it's not too terribly
Floyd | accurate but it can give you a general idea.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bed"
Floyd | >A semi-comfortable human-sized block of padding with a head pillow.
Floyd | The padding is covered in vinyl for easy sanitation.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x pillow"
Floyd | >Slightly thicker vinyl plush extending from the radiation bed in a
Floyd | predictable rectangle shape. The radiation equipment seems to be
Floyd | focusing on this spot.
Floyd |
eladnarra asks, "what's the game~?"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x equipment"
Floyd | >A marvel of modern machinery and medicine, they offer hope to those
Floyd | who have little. This device will kill off cancer in rather precise
Floyd | locations with exposure to large amounts of radiation. Unfortunately,
Floyd | it kills many others things in the process. It appears to be targeting
Floyd | the head pillow of the radiation bed. Perhaps the last user had a
Floyd | brain tumor. It looks functional.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "Divis Mortis"
Ellison says, "Divis Mortis"
eladnarra says, "aha~ I was curious about this one"
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x button"
Floyd | >A large, round, inviting button. You just know it does something.
Floyd | Probably something with the door it is right next to.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "We've just started. You only missed the intro."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "search bed"
Floyd | >There is nothing on the radiation bed.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "look under bed"
Floyd | >You find nothing of interest.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "I suppose we can push the button."
eladnarra says, "cool. I got distracted by the end of rugby :D"
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x door"
Floyd | >An electronic door, sealed tightly to keep out radiation. There is a
Floyd | large exit button clearly labeled next to the door. You can only
Floyd | assume this is in case a patient panics and tries to run out.  The
Floyd | airtight door is closed.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel weak from hunger.
Floyd |
Ellison says (to eladnarra), "basically, the PC just woke up in a hospital. think 28 Days Later."
Roger says (to floyd), "x me"
Floyd | >You look at yourself and find that you're wearing a large-pocketed,
Floyd | long lab coat, with thick rubber gloves and white boots to match.
Floyd |
Ellison says, "28 Stats Later"
eladnarra says, "heh"
DavidW says, "I hope we don't die of hunger just because we're scoping everything out."
eladnarra says, "that would suck"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "read button"
Floyd | >A large, round, inviting button. You just know it does something.
Floyd | Probably something with the door it is right next to.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "push it"
Floyd | >The airtight door slides open.
Floyd |
Ellison says, "no, we will just be annoyed to death"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "s"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Radiation Controls
Floyd | As expected, you see a computer control system. What you did not
Floyd | expect is to see are two dead bodies. The first is a woman slumped in
Floyd | the northeast corner with her head blown out. The other, a desiccated
Floyd | and decaying male with a coat and badge lies frozen in a crawling
Floyd | motion.  Your neck hair prickles, your stomach churns and your mind
Floyd | reels.  "Zombie," your mind whispers, but you are having trouble
Floyd | believing it.  The stench of the dead fills the room.
Floyd |
Floyd |  To your dismay, you see another locked door, this time with a
Floyd | cardswipe next to it.  Why can't doors just be always open?  After
Floyd | reflecting on it for a moment, you are quite glad that these doors are
Floyd | here; the barrier probably saved you from... whatever is going on
Floyd | outside.  You probably owe your lives to these annoying doors.
Floyd |
Floyd |  You can go north to the Radiation Chamber or south to the First Floor
Floyd | Hall.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take badge"
Floyd | >You fight back waves of nausea. You feel as though you've seen many
Floyd | dead bodies in your life, but this one will give you nightmares, if
Floyd | you're ever able to sleep again. You gently remove the security badge
Floyd | from his blue lab coat as if the slightest touch might wake him. His
Floyd | mottled and rotting skin does not stir.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sharp pain from your temples almost make you cry aloud.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by four points.]
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x controls"
Floyd | >A series of buttons and sliders that adjust the strength and location
Floyd | of the machine.  There is a large, conveniently labeled "start"
Floyd | button.  You can also make out instruments adjusting the angle and
Floyd | intensity, but you don't want to mess with the direction or intensity
Floyd | buttons.  There is an emergency seal button in the very top corner.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x woman"
Floyd | >She is a middle aged, slightly heavy woman. The name tag on her shirt
Floyd | identifies her as Madelyn Grea, a senior technician. She has been shot
Floyd | through the jaw, and there is a vast quantity of blood staining her
Floyd | shirt and pooled on the ground around her. There is a handgun in her
Floyd | right hand and cartridges surrounding her. With your amateur detective
Floyd | skills, you deduce that she killed the attacking man and then took her
Floyd | own life.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take gun"
Floyd | >The dead woman's fingers are gripping the gun tightly. With a shudder
Floyd | of distaste, you realize you'll have to open her hand first.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open her hand"
Floyd | >The gun clatters from her nerveless fingers to the floor.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take gun"
Floyd | >Taken.
Floyd |
Floyd | A nice slab of steak sounds perfect right now.
Floyd |
Floyd | You pause a moment, as your pain makes it difficult to concentrate.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take cartridges"
Floyd | >You don't want spent bullets.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gun"
Floyd | >A standard 9mm handgun, as far as you can tell.  The etchings
Floyd | indicate that it is a Glock 17, but you're not sure what that means.
Floyd | The chamber is empty.
Floyd |
Roger says, "microwave corpse in giant radiation machine"
Ellison says, "set to 'popcorn'"
DavidW says, "well, that occured to me, but I don't see the point yet."
Roger says (to floyd), "take name tag"
Floyd | >You wouldn't impersonate her that well.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x man"
Floyd | >The most disgusting corpse you believe you have ever seen. The flesh
Floyd | is withered and seems to have been preserved while in the midst of
Floyd | rotting. Judging by the holes in the clothes, he appears to have been
Floyd | shot in the torso and head several times, but there is a distinct lack
Floyd | of blood. Judging by the crooked angle of his legs, at least one had
Floyd | been broken. His fingernails are peeled back, and his left arm is
Floyd | outstretched towards the dead woman: grasping the floor as if he had
Floyd | been crawling towards her with an intense amount of effort. Upon
Floyd | closer inspection, you discover that the man is not "missing" a head,
Floyd | per se, there blasted apart pieces of skull littering the room. All of
Floyd | the bone fragments are covered with coagulated blood and rotting meat.
Floyd |
Floyd | You realize that you are looking at an actual zombie. Your heart and
Floyd | breath quicken. If a person wearing a staff uniform has been infected,
Floyd | then who knows the extent of the plague, and how it spreads? You are
Floyd | not sure you can rely on the standard movie bite as the only mode of
Floyd | transmission.  It might be spread by more casual contact, or even
Floyd | airborne. You resolve to survive.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You really want to get rid of this headache.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "okay, I guess we should try to nuke him."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take man"
Floyd | >That's disgusting. You don't want to interfere with a future police
Floyd | investigation and you certainly don't want to expose yourself to
Floyd | whatever disease he's got, even with protective gloves. You leave him
Floyd | put.
Floyd |
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "x buttons"
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
Roger says (to floyd), "search woman"
Floyd | >Nothing but more blood.
Floyd |
Roger says (to floyd), "search zombie"
Floyd | >Nothing here but internal organs.
Floyd |
DavidW asks, "I suppose we continue into the hall then?"
Roger says, "Yes"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "swipe badge"
Floyd | >The door whooshes open with the wave of your plastic.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "s"
Floyd | >
Floyd | First Floor Hall
Floyd | You walk into a central hub of nondescript, pristinely sterile
Floyd | hospital hallway. The lights flicker with the dim light of the
Floyd | emergency power generator. The lack of noise sends a chill down your
Floyd | spine. Where there should be doctors rushing, nurses chatting, and
Floyd | patients complaining, you hear absolutely nothing. You wonder if this
Floyd | building has been quarantined off or if the infection has spread
Floyd | beyond it. You are thankful that there are no more signs of trouble:
Floyd | no blood on the walls, no corpses on the ground. Then again, this does
Floyd | make your situation more uncertain.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can go north to the Radiation Controls, south to the Elevator,
Floyd | east to the Hospital Entry, or west to the Cafeteria.
Floyd |
Roger says, "FOOOOOOd"
Roger says (to floyd), "W"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Cafeteria
Floyd | Where sterile halls and clean, empty rooms have dominated nearly all
Floyd | of the hospital, the Cafeteria's vile stench precedes it a full
Floyd | hallway in advance. The Cafeteria has been thoroughly raided.
Floyd | Overturned bins of food, broken jugs of milk and other liquids have
Floyd | all swirled together into a rotting pool of sludge.  There are
Floyd | still-sealed bottles of water that have managed to escape the ooze.
Floyd |
Floyd | A stove had been serving as a barricade to the kitchen, but it has
Floyd | been shoved aside and overturned.  You also note some blood and bloody
Floyd | blunt objects.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can go north to the Kitchen or east to the First Floor Hall.
Floyd |
Trumgottist goes home.
Roger says (to floyd), "X sludge"
Floyd | >A disgusting mix of undecipherable food, liquids and now mold.
Floyd | Looking around at the pooled filth you wonder why all this food was
Floyd | wasted.
Floyd |
Roger says (to floyd), "x water"
Floyd | >(sealed bottles)
Floyd | Bottles of water that are still sealed and not covered in goo.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your stomach rumbles in hunger.
Floyd |
Roger says (to floyd), "take water"
Floyd | >(the water bottle)
Floyd | Water will always come in handy, and you are certain that with the
Floyd | seal it is safe to drink, providing you are very careful where you put
Floyd | your lips.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by four points.]
Floyd |
Roger says, "Okay someone else go"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x blunt objects"
Floyd | >Bloody trays, a skillet, a chair leg and even cooking utensils are
Floyd | strewn about the room.  They might have been marginally useful against
Floyd | invading hordes, but now most of them are shattered or bent or plain
Floyd | unwieldy from over-use.  The skillet looks like it is in the best
Floyd | condition.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Judging by the way the blood has dried, they were used against
Floyd | humans, not zombies.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel weak from hunger.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take skillet"
Floyd | >
Floyd |  The perfect thing for fighting off the undead and frying up some
Floyd | eggs.  You are certain it will come in handy for one of those things.
Floyd |
Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by three points.]
Floyd |
DavidW asks, "Kitchen next?"
eladnarra says, "sure~"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd | >
Floyd | Kitchen
Floyd | You now realize where all the bodies are - in the kitchen.  You see
Floyd | rows upon rows of neatly stacked and cleaned dead bodies, ranging from
Floyd | cafeteria workers to janitors to patients and doctors, all forming a
Floyd | macabre scene.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Tearing your eyes away from the gruesome pile, you look around and
Floyd | notice a chaos of canned food.  That is probably what the survivors
Floyd | were fighting over - the promise of eating something that is
Floyd | untainted.  There is also a huge stainless steel walk-in freezer, not
Floyd | to mention rows of promising cabinets.  In the far corner you can see
Floyd | a tin trash container and a plastic blue recycling bin.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can go south to the Cafeteria.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take canned food"
Floyd | >You rifle through the various cans of food and grab the nice-looking
Floyd | can of chickpeas.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open cabinets"
Floyd | >You open the cabinets, revealing a microwave.
Floyd |
Floyd | A nice slab of steak sounds perfect right now.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open freezer"
Floyd | >You see dozens more bodies stacked up in a neat row; with corpses
Floyd | piled several layers high.  They are stacked higher towards the end,
Floyd | forming a slope.  While the power had been on, you were sure that the
Floyd | cold had helped keep these bodies hidden and preserved.  The power has
Floyd | apparently been off for some time now, as many of the bodies have
Floyd | started to melt into one another.
Floyd |
Floyd | The stench, which had been sealed off, is now overwhelming and more
Floyd | repulsive than you can even imagine.  Barely suppressing the urge to
Floyd | vomit, faint or do both, you close the freezer and back away.  As you
Floyd | back away from the freezer, you stumble over one of the dead bodies,
Floyd | knocking it out of line.  You really hope that someone is not going to
Floyd | care about that because you are too disgusted to fix it.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "look in blue bin"
Floyd | >The plastic blue recycling bin is empty.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "look in trash"
Floyd | >The tin trash container is empty.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bodies"
Floyd | >Someone has neatly arranged bodies into a row, with the shortest
Floyd | person in the middle and taller people on either sides.  They all show
Floyd | signs of a bloody struggle with serious injuries - some have had their
Floyd | heads bashed in, some are missing body parts or have obvious amounts
Floyd | of strong internal bleeding.  They have all been cleaned up as much as
Floyd | possible, closed their eyes and even pushed their cheeks into a smile.
Floyd | Someone put a lot of time into doing this.
Floyd |
Floyd | You survey them one by one.  You see nobody you recognize, but perhaps
Floyd | that is only because you don't remember them.  It appears as though
Floyd | only a few of them had actually turned; the rest seem to lack bite
Floyd | marks and only have wounds from fighting.  Whoever lined them up also
Floyd | seems to have taken everything useful from them - they lack food,
Floyd | weapons, keys, and don't even have their wallets or ID cards.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x microwave"
Floyd | >A boxy device used to heat up things.  It looks like it's a decade
Floyd | old at least, and the useless power cable has been ripped out from the
Floyd | back of the machine.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open it"
Floyd | >You open the microwave but the light don't come on.  In fact, none of
Floyd | the lights are on.  The machine is quite broken.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "hm. I haven't seen a can opener."
Roger says (to floyd), "take microwave"
Floyd | >It's a useless hunk of metal.  It wouldn't even be wieldy enough to
Floyd | use to bludgeon.
Floyd |
Roger asks, "Did we take the skillet?"
DavidW says, "Possibly the rad machine can cut it open, but it's a longshot."
DavidW says, "Yes, we took the skillet."
Roger says (to floyd), "hit can with skillet"
Floyd | >(the can of chickpeas with skillet)
Floyd | Violence is never the answer, except when it comes to survival.  Well,
Floyd | even now, it's not really going to help.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "I think we need to go elsewhere."
Roger says, "Concur"
Ellison says (to Floyd), "x can"
Floyd | >(the can of chickpeas (unclean))
Floyd | A metal can containing chickpeas.  Happily for you, it is the kind you
Floyd | can open without a can opener.
Floyd |
eladnarra says, "hahaha"
jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "clean can"
Floyd | >(the can of chickpeas)
Floyd | You achieve nothing by this.
Floyd |
Floyd | A collective moan arises from the rest of the city.  It echoes and is
Floyd | joined by more moans until a distance or origin point is simply
Floyd | indeterminable.  The voice of the despairing dead slowly peter out,
Floyd | but their message for you remains.  They are determined, and they do
Floyd | not sleep, and they are always hungry, always desperate.  You better
Floyd | prepare your defenses.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "oh"
Roger says, "Hey these aren't halal chickpeas"
Ellison says, "heh"
Roger says (to floyd), "open water"
Floyd | >You open the water bottle.
Floyd | You take a small sip.
Floyd |
Floyd | To protect the water as best as you can, you close it tight again.
Floyd |
eladnarra says, "okay, moaning is creepy..."
Roger says (to floyd), "wash can with water"
Floyd | >That's not a verb I recognise.
Floyd |
DavidW says, "er, we could zap the can and maybe sterilize it."
Roger says (to floyd), "clean can with water"
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
Roger says (to floyd), "put water on can"
Floyd | >(the can of chickpeas (unclean))
Floyd | Putting things on the can of chickpeas (unclean) would achieve
Floyd | nothing.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your stomach rumbles in hunger.

Floyd | stops humming.  You have just completely sanitized a can of chickpeas.
Floyd | The airtight door slides itself open.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |  You hear the faint sound of breathing and shuffling feet. You close
Floyd | your eyes and hope you are mistaken.  But the noise only gets louder.
Floyd | In horror, you slowly turn around and are greeted by a young man
Floyd | wearing a wearing a ripped, knee-length black skirt, ripped hose and a
Floyd | garishly large green jacket, darkened in spots with blood.  The makeup
Floyd | on his face is smudged, and it's hard to tell where the lipstick ends
Floyd | and the blood begins.  As he stumbles towards you, you realize that he
Floyd | probably didn't come from inside the hospital.  The zombie's eyes seem
Floyd | to fix on their newest target, and a gaping mouth opens ever-wider as
Floyd | the stumbling intensifies.
Floyd |
Floyd | You stand your ground and prepare of battle.  You have only a moment
Floyd | before blood-stained jaws clamp down upon you.
Floyd |
Roger says, "Oh man, zombie transvestites"
Roger says, "Or tranvestite zombies. Either way."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "hit zombie with skillet"
Floyd | >(zombie crossdresser with skillet)
Floyd | Wielding your best weapon (the skillet) you charge and scream as you
Floyd | run towards the crossdresser, putting all your force into a
Floyd | beautifully-arched swing.  The metal makes contact with the skull, and
Floyd | you hear the crackling of bone as blood spurts of blood fly around
Floyd | you.   As the body of the former person falls to the ground, the blood
Floyd | around the skull wound and splattered onto the frying pan clots almost
Floyd | instantly.  The handle to the skillet breaks and is torn from your
Floyd | hand by the force.  You duck your head away to minimize contact with
Floyd | flying debris.
Floyd |
Floyd |  The now broken skillet clatters to the ground.  You'd better find a
Floyd | real weapon.  Despite the racket, no more zombies come, and you can
Floyd | only assume you were lucky enough that they simply didn't hear.  You
Floyd | slump in a corner, and quiver for minutes before being able to so much
Floyd | as stand again.

Ellison asks, "now how we ever cook our post-zombie-apocalypse eggs?"
Ellison says, "will"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "eat can"
Floyd | >You scarf the vegetables down, eager to have something to eat at
Floyd | last.  You hardly feel satisfied at all, and even a little queasy.
Floyd | You recall hearing about the difficulties people have eating after
Floyd | long bouts of starvation.  Or maybe you just never liked chickpeas.
Floyd | You feel an unusual craving for some meatloaf, but at least your
Floyd | hunger pains are satiated.

Floyd | The files talk about a John Doe victim who was bitten in the leg,

Floyd | Parking Lot
Floyd | An open and sprawling patch of asphalt packed with cars. Many have
Floyd | been broken into and a few have crashed. The fog is so thick that you
Floyd | cannot see more than one area of the lot at a time. You can hear
Floyd | afflicted people shuffling around between rows of cars.  You can see
Floyd | your Volvo with a zombified occupant trapped inside, clawing at the
Floyd | window, unsure how to open the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | It looks like somebody tried to take advantage of your habit of
Floyd | leaving the car unlocked, but turned before getting the chance to
Floyd | escape.  It probably wouldn't have done her any good anyway, you have

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x car"
Floyd | >(the Volvo car)
Floyd | A rather normal looking Volvo wagon: it appears as if the car thief...
Floyd | turned while relaxing or hiding or trying to drive away in your car,
Floyd | you're not sure which. The occupant is now clawing at the window,
Floyd | staring through with glassy eyes, unable to figure a way out.  It
Floyd | doesn't look like she has your keys, and they're not in the ignition.
Floyd | You worry about her being able to break the window or claw the door
Floyd | handle open, so you do your best to keep your distance and hide.
Floyd |
Floyd | Looking more closely, you can see a toolbox in the Volvo's trunk.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "take toolbox"
Floyd | >You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open trunk"
Floyd | >The hinges on the door squeak loudly as you swing the trunk up and
Floyd | open.  You notice that inside the trunk is a toolbox.  More
Floyd | importantly at the moment, however is the fact that zombified occupant
Floyd | hears and twists her head to see.  She hisses and claws at the seats.
Floyd | You feel confident that the seat belt will hold her in place until you
Floyd | hear a snap.  It appears the woman was more injured than you initially
Floyd | assessed; she had a large part of her midsection missing.  Lacking
Floyd | internal organs, or pesky connecting tissue, the change in pressure
Floyd | from her turning to look at you has snapped her spine.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Leaving her legs in the seat and pulling up on the shoulders of the
Floyd | seats, she heaves her torso through the car.  For a moment positions
Floyd | herself between the two seats, staring at you and the newly developed
Floyd | exit.  She hesitates for a moment.
Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "shoot zombie"
Floyd | >You steady your aim and fire.  You haven't ever had much practice,

Floyd | down, completely incapacitated.
Floyd |
Floyd | The sound of the gunshot echoes loudly through the parking lot,
Floyd | breaking the silence.  No birds fly up, but the sound of the vengeful

Roger says, "And throughout, really."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "push bench to door"
Floyd | >You gather your strength and with a grunt heave the huge bench in

Floyd | screeching horribly as they drag across the stone floor.  You tip it
Floyd | over so that the top is pressing against the glass doors.  The doors
Floyd | try to swing open inward, but they make it only a few inches before
Floyd | being effectively stopped.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Unfortunately, the loud noise so close to the entrance has attracted
Floyd | a lot of attention; the undead press in against the entry,
Floyd | lethargically banging at the glass doors.  More keep coming.  Some

Floyd | away, gasping in pain.  He immediately slumps into a relieved mass and
Floyd | whispers out a "thank you."
Floyd |
Floyd |  He then stares up at you with the sweetest, heart-warming smile.  You
Floyd | blush and for the first time realize what a handsome man he is.  You
Floyd | return the smile. Well, all that's left to do really is stay here and

Floyd |
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask man about himself"
Floyd | >(the young man about that)

Floyd | You hear muffled stamping and shouts coming from upstairs in the

Floyd | can even hear shouts.  You are pretty sure safety is on the way.
DavidW says (to Floyd), "ask man about old man"

Floyd | "I came into the hospital seeking refuge.  He invited me to he safe
Floyd | zone, and was very friendly, even gave me some food.  I still had my
Floyd | own, so I told him he could keep it.  Then he, he I dunno he
Floyd | switched." You can see the horror in his eyes.  "He started mumbling
Floyd | about order and shoved me through this hole, when I saw all the bodies
Floyd | I tried to run, but he just tackled me and slammed my head hard.  I
Floyd | woke up chained, and heard him cursing at the barricade.".
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear shouts coming from the other side of the barricade, warning
Floyd | you to stay away from the entrance.  The young man stands up and turns
Floyd | to you.  "Listen, I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but it's sure
Floyd | as hell they won't know either.  You're in danger, you're likely to be
Floyd | blamed.  They won't..." he falters, tears brimming as he wipes them
Floyd | away. "They won't attack me" he tells you, less than confidently.
Floyd | "because I look like a victim."
Floyd |
Floyd | You glance at his wrists, and the tale they immediately tell.  The
Floyd | rows of bodies sure do look bad.  Your fellow companion walks towards
Floyd | the file cabinets and orders you to stay where you are.  You try to
Floyd | object, but he hears none of it.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "tell man about cancer"

Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly, the top file cabinet is wrenched back and a S.W.A.T. member
Floyd | runs through the top pile of doors.  After only glancing at the pile
Floyd | of bodies, he swings his rifle up at you.  "What the hell is going
Floyd | on." he demands.  Shock and adrenaline pump through you.  Your eyes
Floyd | widen and your nostrils flare.  You automatically switch to a
Floyd | combative stance and an image of pouncing him and disarming him of
Floyd | that rifle briefly flashes through your mind.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Luckily, your companion has better kept his wits about him, and he
Floyd | immediately intervenes: stepping into the line of fire and telling how
Floyd | you saved him from a crazed survivor.  He explains that the crazed
Floyd | survivor was the one who killed everyone trying to contain the
Floyd | infection.  More S.W.A.T. members pour in and similarly aim their
Floyd | weapons at you.  None are aiming at your companion.  You're now
Floyd | effectively surrounded by your supposed rescuers.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Uncertain, the S.W.A.T. member yells at you to drop your gun, and

Floyd | >You drop the handgun.  The S.W.A.T. member visibly relaxes.
Floyd |
Floyd | After complying with their orders, the members of the S.W.A.T. remain
Floyd | uncertain.  They radio for backup.  One of the team members cautiously
Floyd | walks up to you.  "Do you know... who... what you are?" Confused, all
Floyd | you can do is shake your head.  One of the other members starts
Floyd | digging through a pack and procures a tactical mirror, handing it
Floyd | over.  Hesitantly, you look at yourself in the mirror.  Your skin is
Floyd | mottled and was decomposing at some point, but now has a weathered,
Floyd | preserved look.  There is a rather large gash on your forehead that
Floyd | has been bandaged.  Helplessly you stare at the reflection you want
Floyd | not to be your own, but that matches you at every turn.  You drop the
Floyd | mirror and start to cry.  No tears come; you are physically incapable.
Floyd |
Floyd |  The young man whom you saved sees your distress, comes over and
Floyd | embraces you, not caring that his skin touches yours.  The guns are
Floyd | all lowered and you hear a cacophony of clicks.  Radiation kills the
Floyd | neuro-virus, and you realize the significance of you waking up in a
Floyd | radiation chamber.  Noticing that you are lost in your thoughts, you
Floyd | glance around at a room of confused S.W.A.T members.  Taking advantage
Floyd | of the uncertainty, you dramatically rise up, "I am an infected who
Floyd | has been to madness and back and I can save them all."   A bit
Floyd | cheesier than you had intended, but it gets the job done.
Floyd |
Floyd |  You guide the hesitant doctors and scientist through the hospital's
Floyd | notes.  Thanks to you, the infection policy is changed after a week.
Floyd | While people's sanities are restored, their skin maintains the same
Floyd | pale, mottled and rotting look.  The legal status of the new undead
Floyd | becomes annoyingly uncertain as intolerance finds its newest schism.
Floyd | You become a poster child for zombie tolerance, equality and reason,
Floyd | starting a new non-profit organization designed to fight legal
Floyd | discrimination.
Floyd |
Floyd |  Your wound never heals and your hair never grows out, and to the
Floyd | chagrin of the vegetarian inside you, all you can eat is meat.  The
Floyd | young man you rescued, Mark Cayman, remains a true friend and ally in
Floyd | the fight for zombie equality.  A few days ago, he asked you to a
Floyd | restaurant with strong hints that it might be about more than
Floyd | politics, and you are excited. You feel elatedly triumphant about all
Floyd | you have accomplished.
