Researcher #2...I'll get you for this Tur!

Perplexed as to the lack of activity throughout, and unnerved due to the pilot's earlier conversation, she stood rigid. Whilst contemplating the scenario, she glanced at her surroundings and fellow researchers, many of whom seemed unfazed, with most heading towards the Inn.

'Am I the only one that thinks this whole place is a bit...off?' She asked herself.

Eventually she simply tried to shrug off the unsettling felling, and followed NateDaTater's example by getting one of the more brightly coloured balloons.

'When in doubt, grab as many freebies as possible.'

She then followed the others into the Inn.

Huge Super Big Update!
Well, some people did some jumping after I said no more, so I'm taking their last post before mine as canon. They'll have to work from where I choose to place them… Either way, Ess Game Time.

MisterFurious- Downing the beer, and in the company of more live bodies, MF notices the napkin on the counter. MF unfolds it and sees that there is a note written on it... although some of the ink has bled...

File #9- Karter's Note

[Parts of the note are illegable]

I am not losing... our research. I don't care... "innocent" lives have to be sacrificed here... This place... our World. We are it's God... Come to... earch Cente... be saved... ware of...pital... Don't you... die on me... Trent.

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

Seymour Natus- Seymour continues to bombard the bartender with questions. The bartender's jovial demeaner darkens as he stares between all of the pub's current patrons. Tur decides to leave at this point, unconcerned with what the bartender might have to offer. The bartender lets out a big sigh and sets down at the stool behind the counter. He looks SN right in the eyes...

"You guys really don't know anything do you?"

"We just got here today," Seymour responded "we're the new researchers. As soon as we got off the plane we knew something was wrong..."

The bartender looks gravely grim, "We are in the Second Judgment..."

"Second Judgment?" Seymour questions, "What the hell is that?"

"I'm not cleared to go into the Research Center, so I can't tell you for sure, but I've heard the stories. I run this bar and... Many lips become loose after 5 beers..."

The bartender shifts in his seat and leans in towards the men, and begins his tale...

"I've been here since this place opened. This Village used to be the best place on Earth... I wish I knew what really happened down there... The Village opened in April of 2003. I was asked to come here with my family, we live in House 100, to add a little "family" to this city. That and I can miz a mean Tequilla Sunrise... Anyway, I remember the day we all got here, there was a bigger party at Dr. Karter's mansion. It wasn't like it is now... I mean, that big ol' fence, but Dr. Karter never had it shut. He was such a kind and gentle man... Back then the market was three separate buildings and the warehouse wasn't even in use. Those maps that were made up have never been redrawn, just re-texted. Everything was perfect here, until the one year aniversary of the Village. Everyone was getting ready for a big celebration party after the Researcg Center finished its work for the day... Unfortunately, one of the researchers got careless, and whatever they were working with... leaked. Before Dr. Karter could contain and close off that section of the Center, 45 of Umbrella's best and brightest minds were lost... That was the first time we had ever had to use the graveyard. Instead of an aniversary party, we were having an aniversary wake. It was horrible. I knew everyone of those poor souls... And they all had closed caskets! We weren't even allowed to pay our proper last respects!! ...That incident was dubbed "Judgment Day" by those who had managed to survive. I think they were beginning to doubt what they were doing in there... I don't really know. No one took "Judgement Day" harder then Dr. Karter himself. He ordered his gate closed and locked and no one saw him for two weeks. The Research Center remained closed off during that time, and everyone thought the Village was going to be over... But then something happened. A helicopter landed out behind the Karter mansion, and I heard that a man wearing sunglasses was seen going in through the back door. Whoever that was had a great and drastic impact on Dr. Karter, as the day after that meeting he came to the center of the village and proclaimed the the Center would be decontaminated and reopened as soon as humanly possible... And it was. It only took one week for the Center to be cleared for reopening. Dr. Karter went into his private sector of the Research Center and hasn't been seen since... It's been about three months. Sometime in between there he contacted Umbrella Headquarters and had them recruit 16 new researchers to replace some of those lost during "Judgment Day." I'm assuming that those guys are you..."

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

Seymour looks a bit stunned... and confused, "Okay... But what is happening now? What is the Second Judgment?!"

"About a week ago, many of the villagers began to get sick. Some of those from the Center said it looked exactly like the beginnings of "Judgment Day." They kept getting sicker and sicker until..."

Seymour is intrested, "Until...?"

The bartender gets cold, "Three days ago I watched my best friend eat his wife alive. I ended up having to shoot them both in order to save myself. Are you happy now?! Those things don't die... They... come back... They said that this is just like "Judgment Day" was... so the survivors so far are calling this our "Second Judgment..." I've seen things in the past week that will burn in my soul for eternity. Walking corpses, skinless humans with razor tongues... I don't even know how I'm still alive... And to be frank, I don't know how you are either..."

The bartender rubs a tear from his eye and turns his back from the group... SN just sits there in a eeire, but deserved silence...

GoldenSunMasterYami- As the bartender is telling his tale, GSMY watches as MF tucks the napkin away in his pocket... What was on it? GSMY watches as the bartender turns away from the crew, his story about the "Second Judgment" finally complete. GSMY takes this chance to check out the bar fridge. As he reaches for the handle, a hammer pulls back and the bartender puts the barrel right up to GSMY's head.

"Don't you even think about stealing the last of my supplies you son of a b--"

A loud crash is heard against the bar door, and a scream from outside. The bartender raises his gun towards the door as a second thud crashes against the door, more forceful this time. The bartender jumps up and runs towards the door, gun locked and ready...

"May God have mercy on our souls..."

"I... I can't let you have that. No, not for $500. I can't let you do that. That's not allowed. I'm sorry, so sorry."

The shopkeeper fumbles around the counter, possibly looking for his handgun. AZ shrugs and hands the shotgun back to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper never takes his eyes off of AZ, and AZ just puts on a goofy smile. The man is obviously on edge, but why? Is it even safe to stay here?

ljfromsa- Having no luck with House 100, lj heads towards the market in hopes of finding something... Anything really... that could possibly help him. He passes the rest of the houses and heads to the large market place building. The automatic doors open for him and he walks in to the same sight that AZ saw earlier... The floors are shiny and the lights are bright. Wow... REALLY Bright. Inside the main marketplace building is a bench to relax on, but nothing else of real importance. Looking around, lj sees @the Grocery Store@ to the left, @the Hardware Store@ to the right where voices can be heard, and @the General Store@ directly in front of him. The door into the grocery store has a smeer of something red on it...

NateDaTater- Realizing that he has just spent several hour doing... nothing... Nate decides to take action. Nate takes one last look at the gun turrets and heads down the airstrip. The turrets pointed towards the Village exit really frighten him. It seems as if they could hit anything trying to come in... or trying to go out... He passes under the Welcome banner and takes a fancy to the brightly colored helium balloons. Hey, they won't do a damn thing to protect him, but he'll look pretty, god damn it! ...Nate bats the balloon around for a few seconds before finally realizing that it won't serve any good purpose and will probably just get in the way. Nate lets the balloon go and he watches it disappear into the overcast sky. Nate heads off and crosses through the Village, passing the farm and heading right for the Inn. As Nate gets close to the front door, something hits him from behind. Nate gets thrown off balance and he smashes into the door to The Village Idiot... hard. Nate looks up to see what appears to be a man... but... he's rotting!!

Turducken- Giving up on the bartender, Tur leaves before the bartender even has a chance to begin speaking. He starts to walk the 100 some odd feet to the Inn, when he sees Nate on the horizon. Tur just shakes his head, as he knows that Nate has done nothing but idle at the airstrip. As Nate gets close to Inn, a rotting corpses shambles out from behind a tree and smashes into Nate. Nate loses his balance and slams hard into the bar door. Seeing that Nate is unarmed, Tur steps into action. He jumps off of the Inn's steps and rushes the zombie, with a sickening crack Tur swings the pool cue against the back of the zombie's head. The pool cue breaks in two, leaving Tur with a very sharp cue fragment. The zombie is sent forward from the impact and smashes into the bar door incredibly hard just as Nate rolls out of the way. The corpse turns back toward Tur and Nate and Celestial Cry is seen heading toward this fiasco, balloon in hand...

Celestial Cry- Hmmm... This just doesn't feel right. That is the only thought running through the mind of CC. She just tries to suppress those uneasy feelings and heads off towards the Inn. On her way down the airstrip she sees the Welcome Banner that all of our researchers have seen thus far, as well as the few helium balloons left. She decides to take one, and because she is female, I won't even make a pun. She carries the balloon with her as she heads passed the farm, alone. Nothing about this Village is right... Nothing at all... As she passes over a hill towards the Inn, she can just make out someone hitting another person in the head with a large stick. CC picks up into a sprint as she runs down towards the action below...

Tidus41390 and KeyCard25- Seeing everybody go off by theirselves has Tidus and Keycard more then a little nervous... They decide that they should leave the airstrip together. Hey, at least they ARE leaving the airstrip. They pass by the warehouse and farm without incident and pass right through the housing section. They here some shouting in the distance, but they don't pay it much mind. The two men walk right into the marketplace, blow by lj without even a word, and head into the hardware store. AZ turns his head to see the two enter. Tidus and KeyCard see AZ with a handgun in his waistband and the shopkeeper holding a shotgun... What would you think?

"What the hell is going on in here?" Tidus quaffs
"Forget that, what the hell is going on in the village? It's like it's deserted!" KeyCard fires back

The shopkeeper just stares at the two new men.

"I can sell you things! I have a lot of things for sale! I have #a hammer# for $20, some #steel piping# for $100, a nice #shotgun# for $750, and #shotgun shells# at $50 for 7 shells."

He heads past the warehouse and comes up on the farm. The crops are swaying slowly in the breeze, and NES starts to feel ill... He comes up to the front of the farm house and tries the doorknob.

Somebody really doesn't like me! =D

---

After rolling out of the way of the collapsing corpse, Nate staggered backwards, away from the zombie, nearly tripping over his own feet in his woozy retreat. Gathering his wits about him, he tried to make sense of the situation.

*Obviously this "thing" is hostile, but could we talk sense into it? What the hell is it?!*

Nate looked around for anything that could be used to defend himself, but realizing they had the creature outnumbered three-to-one, he relaxed a little. Keeping his guard up (he had been interested in ninjitsu, and trained for about a year when he lived in Japan while playing baseball, but his skills are of little use in actual combat), he approached the fell creature, and began to speak to it.

"Umm... what are you doing?" Nate felt really dumb as asking this question; he closed his eyes and shook his head in shame, but continued.

"We're... uh... we don't want to hurt you." He paused, realizing what he was saying was pretty stupid, but necessary. "Just don't move. We're just as confused and frightened as you are."

After smashing my pool stick on the…man?…I listened to Nate tell this thing that we didn't want to hurt it.

Raising a hand, I pointed out. "I do." Then I returned my attention to this strange, musty man. "Listen, buddy, you're outnumbered here. You better just relax. The hell you attacking him for?"

I was ready to defend the lot of us if he tried to rush us. I was the only one armed here, so I took position between this mystery man and my two fellow researchers. “Now, just calm down, guy. Take it easy. Don’t make us do anything that you’ll regret…”

Upon seeing someone adorned in casual, ‘yet horribly bland’, grey and denim garments striking another with a large poker-stick-thing, she quickly sped down the hill to try defusing the situation. Rapidly gaining speed, she glanced over to Nate whom said something she could barely discern, soon followed by the other Umbrella employee. Unfortunately, in that lapse of concentration, and with all the downward momentum she gained with her sprint, she went careening into the man that was assaulted by the researcher.

With my new bought shotgun and Key's new bought steel piping. We are now equipped to kill whatever we feel like killing.

"Key I don't think I should go first I think you should.
Let me explain: A shotgun is a range weapon. steel pipes are melee. If Go in first how will you help me if i get attacked from the front? you should go first if you see something hit it when i see it i will have time to aim and shoot it, If I see it first It will most likely be close to me and i will panic and not be able to aim right.
In short you first me last you see something run around avoiding it until I shoot it, or if you can handle whatever it is then hit until it dies."

No more posts until I update, unless you have been idleing at the airstrip.

And as a note, you can make as many posts as you want, as long as you don't jump around. Like what Tidus and Key did was fine. They collaborated to buy a pipe, and shotgun w/ shells, but never left the hardware store until the very end. That was fine.

Sunday will be another lax day for updates, but Monday will be full of fun.

Huge Super Big Update II!
First off, a note to Nate (I believe) who said that I didn't like him. From the General Rules topic:
I don't play favorites. Simple as that. For some areas, I have set a certain number of times that that area can be visited before there is an attack. It is all based on luck...
Unfortunately for you, you were the unlucky post that I had preset for the first attack. Fortunately for you, there were a lot of people around to protect you. Ahem... Moving on... Second order of business. To whoever is equipping their fists, Let's say you have a papercut on your knuckle. Now let's say you punch an undead in the mouth. Their saliva + Your open wound = Infection. I'll leave it up to you whether you want to do that... But you may find yourself infected earlier then you would have hoped... That said, the updates:

Mass Update to include NateDaTater, Seymour Natus, Turducken, Celestial Cry, and GoldenSunMasterYami aka The Fight Group- Nate rolls out of the way of the rotting man, and almost falls over his own two feet. After smashing into the door, the man groans once before turning around and heading back toward Nate. Nate puts both hands up in front of him and tries to reason with the man. The man continues to shamble forward, his mouth gaping open, a piece of flesh missing from his left temple... Tur looks disgusted at Nate's comments and shakes the pointed pool cue in front of the man's face, almost taunting their would-be attacker.

"Listen, buddy, you're outnumbered here. You better just relax. The hell you attacking him for?" Tur barks out

Coming down from the hill with quite some speed, CC cannot slow herself and she smashes hard into the man. They both go down and CC's balloon flies off of her hand. Damn... CC and the man roll across the ground for a few feet before they both come to a stop. The man grabs at CC's ankle and attempts a sink his teeth into her. Tur smashes the man's hand as Nate pulls CC back to a safe distance. Tur heads back with them, and all three watch as the rotting man rises back to his feet and again begins shambling towards them...

"Hey! Just calm down, guy. Take it easy. Don’t make us do anything that you’ll regret!" Tur is extremely angry now, and ready to take down this man.

"Are you okay?" Nate questions CC as she returns to her feet "Did he... bite you?"

"I'm fine... He didn't get the chance to bite me..." CC responds, a little shaken up.

Just then, the bar door flies open and both the Bartender and Seymour rush out, guns drawn. GSMY can be seen peeking out from behind the counter. The rotting man turns towards Seymour and the Bartender now, and the Bartender lowers his gun...

"Jim...? ...No... NO!!!!!!!! Jim boy, please..."

The Bartender is almost in tears. Scratch that. The Bartender IS in tears. He looks at "Jim" and doesn't even move as Jim gets closer and closer to him. Seymour looks from the Bartender, to Jim, to Tur and two unknown people to him, never lowering his gun. The Bartender reaches out to Jim, almost as if to hug him... That my friends, was a mistake. Jim lunges out and sinks his teeth into the flesh of the Bartender's arm. The Bartender screams out in pain as Jim tears out a large chunk of meat from his left arm. The Bartender kicks Jim off of him and raises his hangun with his right hand... Seymour still looks on, not wanting to waste either of his two precious bullets... Tur, Nate, and CC just stand in awe...

"I love you Jimmy... I'm so sorry..." The Bartender sobs

The Bartender pulls the trigger of his handgun over and over again. The first bullet misses completely. Chalk that up to the pain in his left arm. The second and third bullets connect to the chest of Jim, staggering him. The fourth bullet also misses, and whizzes by the head of Tur. Tur hits the ground, narrowly escaping with his life. The fifth, sixth, and seventh bullets connect to the left arm and shoulder of Jim, but he just keeps coming...

"One bullet left..." The Bartender says almost to himself, through the pain. Apparently he had already done some shooting prior to this... Jim is again almost in striking range, and the Bartender takes a deep breath. Seymour lowers his gun, almost in awe of what is taking place... Nate and CC help Tur back to his feet, as Tur is having a hard time after that close call... Jim lunges at the Bartender and the Bartender manages to put his final bullet into the left side of Jim's forehead. With one last groan, Jim falls to the ground... a pool of blood surrounding his body. The Bartender tucks his now empty handgun into his waistband... and promptly falls to the ground, screaming out both in pain and anguish. CC, Tur, Nate, and Seymour all rush to the Bartender and help to drag him back into the bar. GSMY, who has just watched this entire fiasco from the safety and comfort of the bar, finds some towels behind the counter and rushes to the Bartender's aid.

"Does anyone know how to stop the bleeding?!" CC cries out

"It... doesn't... matter... I'm done... no matter what happens now..." The bartender sobs, "I don't even know... if I want to live... after killing... my son..."

"Your son?! Jim was--" Nate starts, but quickly cuts himself off

"Can you guys just shut up and help me out?!" GSMY snaps

Within a few minutes and several towels, the crew has managed to stop the bleeding with a nicely placed turnicate and a few towels for bandages. The bartender just sobs uncontrolably... After being bandaged up, the bartender pulls his handgun out of his waistband and puts it to his head. He pulls the trigger, but the empty chamber does him no justice... He throws the gun across the room, wincing in pain from his left arm. The gun skids across the floor and slides underneath of the jukebox.

"Help me up..." The bartender demands

"But you shoul--" Seymour starts

"HELP ME UP DAMMIT!"

Nate and Tur each take a side and help the bartender to his feet. The bartender solemly walks behind the counter and takes his rightful place behind the bar. He reaches underneath the counter and pulls out a key. He looks at the key, his arm, and the 5 people in front of him. A tear rolls down his cheek...

"I have one last request of you... I don't know you people, and you don't know me... But please... Do me this one thing. I'm not going to make it out of here alive, that's a given... But my wife and daughter... They could still be alive. Please go check on them for me, and get them out of here... Don't let the Second Judgment claim them as well..."

"Second Judgment?" CC puzzles

"We have a lot to talk about..." Seymour sighs "But yeah, sure. We can do that, right?"

They rest of the crew nods. The bartender hands Seymour the #House 100 Key# and then pours himself a beer from the tap. He begins to drink the beer, but then sets the mug on the bar and clasps his hand hand over his left arm in extreme pain...

"Leave now... I don't know how much... longer I'm going to have... I can't guarantee you anything... after I..."

"After you... what?" GSMY questions

"Just Go! Get out of here! Leave me be... I have to make my peace with God..."

Tur, GSMY, CC, Nate, and Seymour all file out of the bar quietly in a show of respect. As soon as Seymour clears the door, it slams shut behind him, and a deadbolt is heard sliding into place. He had locked himself inside the bar. GSMY heads back up and bangs on the bar door.

"Hey! We never even got your name!" He screams through the bar door

There is a moment of silence...

"Evan... Evan Jones..." The voice coming through the door was almost nothing more then a whisper.

GSMY heads away from the door and joins back up with the other four. They walk past the twitching corpse of Jim and head into the welcoming room of the Inn. Seymour walks over the marble countertop and places the #House 100 Key# next to the broken bell. Tur and CC sit down in chairs while GSMY and Nate sit on the couch on the other side. Seymour just stands at the counter. All of them in silence... None of them knows what to say next... What can you do next?! Looking around, nothing has changed from the main room here. There is of course, the #House 100 Key#, on the countertop now, but nothing else of intrest catches the eye. From here, it seems you can go to @Room 001@, @Room 002@, @Pool Room@, @Game Room@, @Second Floor Hallway@, and @Basement@

NESisdabest- Seeing the #knocker#, and really wanting to know what was going on in this village, NES does the logical thing... He uses the #knocker#. Almost imeadiately, NES hears the sound of barking from the inside, and the sound of banging on the inside of the door. The growls and barks last for a few seconds, but then die down without much incident. NES uses the #knocker# a second time, and the barks and growls start up yet again... Hmmmm... No one seems to be answering... Is anyone even home? Upon closer inspection of the # wooden door#, it isn't very thick and could probably be kicked in with enough force. But what will happen if those growling beasts get a hold of you? Taking a second glance around the area, NES still sees #a rusty axe# and #a mailbox#. This place gives him the creeps... However, it could be a good source of information... What is a good researcher to do?!

AZPunisher- AZ sighs at the fact that he alone cannot afford the shotgun. That would have been some badass protection... However, he almost has to hide a smirk, because the somewhat "off" Shop Keeper has no clue that AZ has blatantly STOLE his handgun. The same handgun that he had been planing to kill himself with no more then a half-hour ago. Weird... Really weird. AZ pulls a 20 dollar bill out of his wallet and points to a very fine piece of nail driving metal. The shop keeper is more then eager to get down the hammer and sell it to AZ.

"Thank you very much! You have no idea how much this means to me!"

AZ just stares down the shop keeper... This guy is seriously screwed in the head. AZ wants nothing more to do with the shop keeper, or the two other researchers that just walked into the shop. AZ thanks the shop keeper and turns to leave the store. He slams into KeyCard and shoots him an icy cold glare. Neither man says a word, and AZ opens the door and leaves. Playing around with his new hammer, AZ heads over to the General Store and tries to open the door. It's locked. Damn. AZ turns to head to the grocery store, but stops when he sees a man through the General Store's #glass window#. The man looks AZ up and down twice, as AZ motions for the man to open his door. The man inside chuckles and then raises the middle finger to AZ, before heading to the back of his store. AZ realizes that with his hammer, he could seriously wreck shop and simply bust through the #glass window#, but he decides to hold off... for now at least. He walks over to the grocery store door, but stops as he hears a shout of glee coming from the hardware store. AZ just shrugs and walks through the blood spattered door. As soon as he enters, KeyCard and Tidus come busting through the door as well, Tidus brandishing a shotgun and KeyCard swinging around a steel pipe. AZ really doesn't like those two... especially since they almost ran right over him coming through that door. Looking around, there is food upon food upon food. Enough food to feed a small village for at least a month... Oh wait, that actually makes sense... The first thing that catches all three of the researcher's attention though is the blood trail leading to the back of the store. AZ takes charge and follows the trail to the back of the store, with KeyCard and Tidus close behind. As they get closer to the back of the store they begin to hear a slight sobbing. Reaching the back, AZ sees a man propped up against one of the cash registers. He is bleeding badly from a wound to the abdomen, but is still very much alive. The man instantly reacts to the presence of the three men...

"P... Pl... Please... Help me... First Aid... Kits... Third... Ailse... Please..."

AZ scans the area and realizes, that for now at least, there is no imeadiate danger here. Standing in @the back of the grocery store@, AZ could go to @the front of the grocery store@, @ailse 1@, @ailse 2@, @ailse 3@, or @ailse 4@. From the back of the store AZ only sees #a cash register# and #the wounded man#. Well... Is AZ compassionate enough to search out the first-aid kit?
