==About [[the Style Building]]==<br />
You're welcome, our forces seem to be holding out for the time being... also, if it's not apparent already, I thought you should know that the [[Eastonwood Ferals]] are hitching distraction runs against Bale in an attempt to lower the amount of manpower we have at Style. Don't worry, we'll still stick around...--[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 18:13, 10 August 2007 (BST)<br />
<br />
==Hey Morth!==<br />
Just a head's up, Zaknrfama's back in Yagoton, but he's here to help us against the zed hoarde, in exchange for his life. Also, I'm going to be regularly updating the KOS list on the YRC discussion page that I made earlier, as many of those profiles belong to zombies either masquerading as zombie spies or zombie flooders (dudes that pile up in St.Swithun's to slow the revive effort. I suggest you check it out, and stay safe, good doctor. --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 23:24, 9 April 2007 (BST)<br />
::Yeah, I noticed that on the Knight's page. But on second thought, in terms of your list? The [[YRC]] isn't the best place for you to post this. If you'd like, I can make a big 'suggestion' post that can lead to your own post on ANOTHER groups talk page, maybe that of [[The Abandoned]]? The [[YRC]] pretty much keeps clear of any sort of PUBLIC 'blacklisting', since that sort of thing has gotten ugly in the past. We do, however, provide info that we leave up to others to decide on. Our general neutrality and reliance on 'self-evident' prevention keeps the [[YRC]] a pretty friendly place for most survivors (save the occasional death cult or RP-based group. :) ) Linking to possible threats on the YRC talk page would be preferable than posting full-out blacklists in the future. --[[User:MorthBabid|MorthBabid]] 00:06, 12 April 2007 (BST)<br />
:::Alright, my apologies if I've broken any specific rules, Sir Morth. As for posting the list on the Abandoned's site, that will not be necessary.... I'm already part of the Abandoned, after all. --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 03:35, 12 April 2007 (BST)<br />
:::: No problem. And its not a rule as much as it is a survival policy we hammered out back in the day. You can actually see the conversation that took place in our talk achieves, I believe. --[[User:MorthBabid|MorthBabid]] 00:36, 13 April 2007 (BST)<br />

I request that you get a hold of me on the New Malton Colossus forums(linked through the [[Channel 4 News Team]] Wiki if needed). I have urgent news to share with you, and I need to get it to you ASAP. Stay Classy! [[User:Tovarisch Khrushchev|Tovarisch Khrushchev]] 07:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Just a heads up, the News Team & Co are almost all dead, thanks to the Mall Tour, and we're heading your way! Hope you guys don't mind. We'll be doing what we can to revive our own once in Yagoton, but I figured you guys wouldn't mind just showing up uninvited since it was pretty obvious that it'd be by sooner or later. If it's a problem, we can redirect pretty quickly. Stay Classy! --[[User:Ron Burgundy|Ron Burgundy]] 04:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I'd add to this the less substantial observation that, with much of South Shuttlebank sacked, you'll probably see some of us (myself included) wandering over. We have over 30 waiting for revives at our major revive points as of now. --[[User:Barbecue Barbecue|Barbecue Barbecue]] 01:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::Your best bets are to head for Southern Yagoton, for good ol' [[St. Swithun's Church (Yagoton)|St.Swithun]] itself. The [[Bale Mall]] area is far too chewed up atm. We could use the reinforcements in the south, anyway. --[[User:MorthBabid|MorthBabid]] 21:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)<br />

:::its not really a group, as the first revolutionary says, its more of a idea, and a umbrella organization, and i techniqly don't lead it, i just handle the day to day operations tell we are able to have the assembly function, so, i'm actuly still part of the YRC. can you help me make some templates though, the page is, dull.--[[User:Darkmagic|Darkmagic]] 23:36, 29 March 2007 (BST)<br />

== New barricade plan ==<br />
<br />
Hello Morth. Doubler has made a new barricade plan, as you no doubt know already. We've told everyone in Yagoton to expect a radio broadcast tomorrow. That's when we'll add the new plan. Thought you should know. Cheers! --[[User:Abi79|Abi79]] <sup>[[The_Abandoned|AB]]</sup> 20:40, 18 May 2007 (BST)<br />
== The Yagoton Wiki ==<br />
Hi Morth, i've had to edit, and re-edit the Yagoton wiki page to compensate for Darkmagic's lack of proofeading. I'm not as into the wiki page as you, and dont have the power to make a difference to him, but I was wondering if you could do something about it. After all, not everyone in Malton speeks n00bspeek.--[[User:Stuartbman|Stuartbman]] 19:18, 16 June 2007 (BST)<br />

==Wantmore NT==<br />

<br />
On a serious note, (just wanted to get the discussion started with some roleplaying) a group of Abandoned members and I are trying to retake the Whatmore building, but there aren't enough of us. I was wondering if you and the [[YRC]] could lend support. As for the details of which building we're staying in, I can't reveal that for now.--[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 01:44, 16 August 2007 (BST)<br />
<br />
::Looks like most of us are dead, or stuck in outside suburbs trying to heal and revive people fleeing Yagoton. Forget about Whatmore for the moment, guys. We love Whatmore. Its great! And we'll get it up and running eventually. But its also the local tourist trap for the undead, and is only good for revives. Bale Mall is a MUCH more helpful target to you guys to focus on. And there aren't THAT many undead inside. Just about 11-30 total. The Mall fell mostly due to survivors fleeing rather than fighting, sadly. Oh! And find yourselves some toolboxes: You'll need 'em. --[[User:MorthBabid|MorthBabid]] 15:03, 16 August 2007 (BST)<br />
<br />
:::Roger that. We have teams somewhere near the Style/Bale Mall area who are dealing with the straggling zombies as we speak.--[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 20:18, 16 August 2007 (BST)<br />

::::Reading through older updates from the yagoton pagem, it seems the bulk of this started about 2 months ago in june, around the time all those really low level players arrived, and too kabou am onth to progress to death wish by staying there, thats why i got bored of getting killed and got revived and stayed a dead body.--[[User:Darkmagic|Darkmagic]] 22:56, 15 August 2007 (BST)<br />

==Your Last Murderer==<br />
<br />
Apparently, someone has listed you as "KOS" by [[the Abandoned]] over the radio, and has carried out his mission and terminated you today. As I hope you understand, this is a perplexing situation for me, and for our group as a whole. Not to mention for yourself.<br />
<br />
In honoring our old-time duty of protecting the YRC, I intend to go after this assailant personally, along with a few others if they so wish. All I need now is a screename, and a picture if you have one. --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 06:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)<br />

Hello! I'm Barrylocke representing beerhah. Beerhah is essentially a network of human groups working together for the survivor cause. At the moment, we're focusing on Yagoton and retaking Bale Mall.

'''Character description:'''<br><br />
Penny Black looks at first glance like your typical Goth girl. She is pale and slender, of medium height, with dyed black hair, dark make-up and greyish-blue eyes. She wears a pair of grey CyberTartan Bondage pants, a pair of really big boots, a [[flak jacket]] with a bat-winged ankh crudely printed across the chest and fishnet stockings on her arms. She carries a smallish black backpack in fake leather with several large spikes attached, and a [[fire axe]] on which she has carved an Ankh. In a makeshift leather holster by her side she carries a sawn-off [[shotgun]] with the remainder of the stock painted black and with some glittery plastic beads glued on, and a few shells. <br><br><br />
<br />
Penny was born Sheryl Ainsworth at the [[Neot General Hospital]] in [[North Blythville]], but has spent most of her life living in the northeastern part of Malton. Before the outbreak she would hang out with her friends at the [[Club Barling]] in [[Pennville]], or go shopping at one or other of the [[Mall_Information_Center | malls]]. She was also very fond of reading horror novels, and spent a lot of time in the [[Martland Library]] reading, mostly because it was close to her school, so she wouldn't have to go far when skipping classes. Sheryl started calling herself Penny Black on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC IRC], mostly because DarkRaven was already taken. <br><br><br />
<br />
After the outbreak, she fled and tried to hide in her grandmother's house in [[East Boundwood]], but was discovered and devoured. She has only recently regained consciousness after the ordeal, and is now trying to find a new purpose in life by [[The Batwing Brigade | uniting]] the other [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture Darkfolks] of Malton. <br><br><br />

== General information == <br />
<br />
Zombies may be '''S'''melly and '''S'''cary, but they are certainly not '''S'''pooky. This really is a zombie plague, with all zombies and no vampires. <br><br />
'''Goths''' have always been outcasts, misunderstood and mocked by the uncaring masses. Long has it been our way to congregate in the outskirts of normality, seeking out the dark underbelly of society, finding strength in numbers. And besides, it's bloody ''impossible'' to get the DJ to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxie_and_the_Banshees Siouxie and the Banshees] unless you have your own club anyway. <br><br />
'''The Batwing Brigade''' mostly focuses on touring Malton, rediscovering the old Goth clubs where we used to hang before the outbreak, and playing the music that we love and crave. Have you always wanted to be a DJ? Here's your chance! <br><br />
<br />
=== Admissions ===<br />
Do you want to attend our shows, but don't know if you dare? Do your [[PKer|people skills]] leave others scarred to body and soul? Or have you taken the [[Zombie|Death Rocker]] thing a bit too far for most other peoples comfort? Don't worry! While we have a strict no-PKing policy within the group, anyone, including Malton's undead, is welcome to our events! Provied they behave themselves, of course. That means: No killing / eating the other guests, no [[Ransack|destroying the furniture]] or any of the [[GKer|electrical]] [[RKer|equipment]] immediately before, during or after the show. <br />
<br />
Also, if you have a bounty on you because of your past adventures, it could be wise to let whatever groups active in the suburb know that you are there for our show, and not in any other capacity, to avoid getting reaped during the event. Refer any questions to [[User_talk:Penny_Black|Penny]].<br />
<br />
Before the outbreak, many Goth clubs enforced more or less strict dress codes. With the current state of affairs, however, most people look scary or spooky enough to be admitted. If you ''do'' dress up for us, it will be appreciated.<br />
<br />
== News ==<br />
<br />
=== Impostor ===<br />

It has been made known to us that Ded Bob Sho is PKing people in Malton with the Batwing Brigade as his group affiliation. This is false. He is not a member, and if he had been his PKing would get him expelled. Give him over to the Rogues' Gallery from us, all right? <br><br />

:::Hm, I actually remember Ded Bob Sho now, he did indeed turn up a few times. But he wasn't registered as a member at the time of his PK:ing, and he should have removed his group affiliation from the character when he decided to leave the group. --[[User:Penny Black|Penny Black]] 15:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC)<br />

=== '''Halloween!''' === <br />
<br />
The Batwing Brigade will be hosting a Halloween party at an as yet undisclosed location (stay tuned). It will be a Masquerade, and any type offancy costume will be appreciated and rewarded by free drinks at the bar! <br><br />

*notice* Since Penny was dead at the time of Halloween, we were unable to set up a proper show (it's difficult to spin discs with undead fingers). <br><br />

==={{c|DeepPink|[[Club Vagg]] vip status}}=== <br />
<br />
The Batwing Brigade has recently been awarded VIP status at [[Club Vagg]], Malton's most famous lesbian club! If you're a member, and female (or at least feminine), just show your membership tag in the door and walk right past that queue! If you identify yourself as male, however, you may want to stay away on monday nights... depending on personal taste and preference, of course. <br><br />

The Batwing Brigade proudly announces the '''P'''arty '''O'''f the '''Y'''ear! Late monday July 3rd, we will rock the halls of [[St John's Cathedral]], before watching the [[The_Second_Extravaganza|fireworks]]!

By suggestion from NTLA1, our next event will take place on June 1:st. We'll be rocking the [[Kilingback Cinema]] in [[Danversbank]], and the theme for the evening will be '''V'''ampires, so pull your best translucent black cape back off the rack.

=== And now, something completely different ===<br />
<br />
The Grand Opening has more or less ended, and while the initial turnout was a bit low, a large group of [[zombie | death rockers]] later arrived and joined us for a good slam dance. As soon as everybody has been revived again, we'll start planning for the next event. Suggestions, anybody?<br> <br />

=== ''Grand opening!'' ===<br />
<br />
{{BWBday1|We All}}<br />
<br />
On April 30th, we will hold a Grand opening and recruitment rally at [[Club Barling]], in Pennville (82,81)! Admission is free for all members (and for everybody else, since we don't know how to operate the cash register)! Bring your own [[fuel can]]s. The [[RPM | Reformed Pennville Militia]] has kindly offered to bring the [[beer]]! We practice self serving at the bar. <br><br><br />
There will be music on all dance floors, and we hope we'll get the smoke machine working in time.<br />
<br><br><br />
If you're coming to the opening, do us all a favour and bring one piece of decoration with you! We are looking for the following: <br><br />
* Mouldering tapestry <br />
* Medieval tapestry <br />
* Dark tapestry <br />
* Headless statue sculpture <br />
* Skull <br />
* Monkey skeleton <br />
* Bird skeleton <br />
* Lizard skeleton <br />
* Antique mirror <br />
* Grecian Urn <br />

== To join ==<br />
<br />
We are currently taking applications.

Don't forget to add your name with a link to your UD or wiki profile in the "Members" section below, and to add "The Batwing Brigade" to your UD profile group box.<br />
<br />
"This faction makes me wish I still played Urban Dead, now put some Cure on" - Gothy, Queen of [[TSO]]<br />
<br />
== What we want == <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Are you feeling Goth today? === <br />
<br />
The group is open to all subcultures characterized by predominantly black clothing, including (but not limited to) Goths, GothIndustrials, GothMetalheads, Death Rockers (Death Rockers please note: at present you may ''not'' have [[Brain Rot]] if you want to join, we are a survivor group. We may revise this in the future, depending on popular demand), and even EmoKids (if for no other reason than that we can laugh at them better at close range). <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
=== Cities in Dust (or, which [[suburb]] are we holding?) ===<br />
<br />
The purpose of the Batwing Brigade isn't to hold territory, destroy the undead horde, or otherwise go down in a blaze of G(l)ory. It's actually more of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_club social club] (if it wasn't for the fact that social clubs are terribly uncool). We want to connect as many of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_subculture Darkfolks] of [[Malton]] as possible, creating a vast Gallery of Shadows. Or at least a little picture book. This doesn't mean that we won't do ordinary survivor things like barricading, healing and reviving, we will just do it '''S'''pookily, '''M'''orosely and with an unerring sense of '''S'''tyle. And eyeliner. <br><br><br />
<br />
That being said, there are a few locations that hold a special place in our darkened hearts, on account of them being particularly suited for us darkfolks in one way or another. This list will continue to expand as we rediscover them. <br><br><br />
<br />
* [[Club Barling]] in [[Pennville]], for no other reason than that it is one of the few [[club]]s in [[Malton]] with the word "Goth" in the description... [[Club Barling]] is currently used as an entry point to other buildings of more strategic importance, so the barricades are, and will stay, at VS+2. Please respect this. No sleeping on the dance floor! This was the site for our Grand Opening of April 30th. <br />
<br />
* [[Kilingback Cinema]] in [[Danversbank]]. It is a unique cinema, in that it is the only cinema showing vampire films, particularly the old 1930s version of "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi. <br />
<br />
* [[Club Mold]] in [[Dulston]], being another Goth nightclub of note. At the time of writing this, Club Mold has not seen use by the Batwing Brigade since the outbreak, although we hope to remedy this in time.<br />
<br />
* {{c|DeepPink|[[Club Vagg]] in [[Eastonwood]]. This is not actually a Goth club, but since the Batwing Brigade has been awarded VIP status by the new administration, how can we not put it on our list? Besides, the people frequenting its BDSM nights on mondays have a really great fashion sense...}}<br />
<br />
== Modus Operandi (or, how we do it) == <br />
<br />
=== what ''not'' to do === <br />
<br />
* ''NO PKers''! No member of the group is allowed to [[PKer | kill other survivors]], unless in self defence and then only after submitting a screenshot to the Rogues' Gallery as evidence. <br><br />
People think that the Columbine Killers were goth. Lets prove them wrong by not killing them, even when they deserve it! Leaving them to wallow in their own misery is a much worse punishment anyway... <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
* ''No Zerging''! You are unique, and your black clothing, spikes and eyeliner tears are a mark of this uniquity, just like on all the other goths you hang out with. Do not spoil this effect by [[zerging]]. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== what ''to'' do === <br />
<br />
* ''Staying alive''. There was a time when us goths would romanticize suicide, almost in absurdum. In a city where death is at worst a temporary inconvenience, this has had to change. Precipitating yourself from a tall building seems pointless when chances are you will just get right back up again, with only a smudged make-up for your effort. Instead, learn how to make your continued existence as [[Construction | comfortable]] as [[Free_Running | possible]].<br><br><br />
<br />
* ''Interior decoration''. Pleasant surroundings are vital to get that spooky mood going. Whenever you are staying for more than a few days in any given location, don't hesitate to gather spooky and / or stylish decorations to enhance living conditions for yourself and any others who may be using your safehouse. See our [[Talk:The_Batwing_Brigade | talk page]] for a list of useful items.<br><br><br />
<br />
* ''Another use for poetry''. It has been suggested that, instead of reacting violently to [[PKer]]s, we should get our revenge by stalking those who do us wrong and quoting morose poetry at them. While this may provoke others to violence, it is still a far less hostile behaviour than PKing them right back, and may actually provide sufficient psychological warfare that the PKers abandon their evil ways... or at least the current suburb. <br><br><br />
<br />
== Art == <br />
<br />
A common stereotype is that goths are creative and artistic, a prejudice that has created an enormous pressure on us to belt out crappy goth poetry and half-arsed pen drawings by the score. In an attempt to adapt this characteristic to the circumstances offered by Malton, here is a gallery of the graffiti tags spraypainted by the members of the Batwing Brigade. If you want to participate, please remember not to spray over important information from other groups, like barricading info or ads for revive points. We don't want to give people '''more''' reason to shoot at us. <br><br><br />

<br />
I was killed by Father Monday, again, and it doesn't look like I'll be getting anything but headshots around here, so I will not be able to do the Halloween gig. I'm getting really tired of being PK:ed by the same guy all the time, actually. Since all the other members of the BWB have been exceptionally quiet I'm thinking about officially disbanding the Brigade, but we'll see. <br><br />

I'll make sure to add you to our member list. Next time you write something in somebody's talk page, make sure to add a signature. That way, it's easier for me to find you and write an answer, and I'll also know when you added your message. <br><br />

You are looking at a pocket size journal, covered in black cloth with a relief floral pattern. It is worn around the edges, and spattered with various fluids, but you can see that it was really nice once. Inside, the entries are written in a neat hand, somewhat affecting gothic script but not quite going all the way. In the margins are little drawings of bats, skulls, spider webs and castles. <br><br />

<br />
I've made it to [[Stickling Mall]]. It's actually getting a bit chilly outside, I'll make sure to check for clothes in here. I'll hole up here for a couple of days, and then set back out for [[Club Vagg]]. The food court here actually has a functioning food stall, manned by a couple of weathered old survivors, I'll have to check out the menu. I'm getting hungry, and protein bars only take you so far... <br />

<br />
Suddenly I wish I had a web cam, where I could take extreme closeups of my left eye. Why is this? <br><br />
Anyway, I picked up some barely used make up in one of the apartment buildings I passed through on my way here, including a nice shade of [http://www.urbandecay.com/products/CrashEyeShadow.cfm deep purple eye shadow]. I can't wait to try it out! I'm sure it would totally look like bruises on my skin... maybe I can find some white or [http://www.urbandecay.com/products/AsphyxiaLipGunk.cfm pale purple lip gloss] as well?<br />
<br />
=== 4th ===<br />
<br />
Well, I've recovered from the arduous weekend, and we all had to move back to [[Rhodenbank]] to escape the undead menace. SummerMae finally joined us, I was getting worried. And then I woke up today with the club nearly empty, and a zombie happily chewing at my arm. I kicked it away, patched myself up and gave Summer a shot of [[First_Aid_Kit|antibiotics]] to stave off any infection, as I could see that she had been bitten also. Then I legged it. Right now I'm hiding in a museum, hoping that Summer will find me. I still think it would be fun to visit [[Club Vagg]], although it is right in the middle of the Red Zone. I radioed the people maintaining the club to ask how they intend to keep it safe, but no reply yet. I'm trying to put together a playlist in case the sound system is still operational (and in case I survive the journey...), but I'm not sure what to play in lesbian club, and I've lost track of my dyke friends since the outbreak. <br><br />
I'm actually thinking about going in there. I've spent an hour looking at the map, trying to establish which buildings that could serve as safehouses on the way. I could normally go the distance in just one day, but with all the ruined buildings... maybe three days, with time to repair and decoy barricade at least three houses before bedtime every day. I have a tool kit, and I'm going to use it! <br />

<br />
All right, the BatRave weekend is officially over, and I'm completely exhausted. I've had so much to do that I haven't been able to write anything for days. Summer Mae joined us in time for the weekend, and she did a great job handling the bar. Speaking of which: Note to self, ''eat'' something before doing a full DJ set and then guzzling a whole pitcher of Guinness. I ''still'' have a hangover from that, ugh. Anyway, here's the playlists for this weekend. <br />

crushed by a velvet ebon nothingness.<br><br />

=== 7th ===<br />
<br />
This here diary thing just isn't going very well, is it? Never mind, it's not like I have to hand it in to be graded or anything. <br><br />
A while back I managed to contact the [[Night Ravers]] to see if they would be interested in doing a joint venture with us, and I have now moved to the northern border of [[Malton]] to stay with them for a while, as they complete an art project. I've been playing some songs at the dance floor in this club, and a few days ago I was mixing drinks together with this guy in the bar. It was fun, but I have to be more careful with the drink mix, I think I managed to use liquid detergent instead of Margarita mix, again. <br><br />
This summer has been really weird, with torrential rains followed by flash heat waves. I've been shut inside this club for a few weeks, and have only made little excursions to the mall for food and stuff. Haven't seen many zombies, which is a ''good thing''! <br><br />
Today I got a text message from somebody that said the BWB has been put on the VIP list at [[Club Vagg]]. I knew it was a good idea to include my [[User_talk:Penny_Black | mobile phone number]] on our [[Recruitment#The_Batwing_Brigade | poster]]! The Vagg is a lesbian club, but any women are allowed inside, and even guys if they are prepared to pay a lot extra for their drinks (and get brutally thrown out if they don't keep their paws to themselves...). I haven't been there since the outbreak, it could be fun to go back there and see what it has turned out like these days. But first we have to plan out what to do by the end of the month, I'd like to do something classy with the Night Ravers.<br />
<br />
== June == <br />
<br />
=== 27th ===<br />
<br />
This is getting weird. As I was revived a second time, after moving to another suburb, I was told by some of the others in the safehouse I stayed in that I was actually killed, not by a zombie but by a priest! At least, he was dressed like a priest, and had a name tag that said "[[User:Father_Monday | Father Monday]]". He had ranted about how I was an affront to god, and then he shot me. I mean, WTF? I'm so fed up with all this, with people shouting "Hail Satan" as I walk down the street or just assume that I'm not only a goth but also a satanist / nazi / gay / communist or whatever they happen to dislike the most at the moment. It's the same kind of people who would burn crosses, only with a different badge. <br><br />
I don't have time for this crap, I'm busy trying to organise a club event for July 3rd, the second anniversary of the outbreak. I'll scout out a proper location later today, I think. Dammit, we should have advertised for this a week ago!<br />
<br />
=== 21st ===<br />
<br />
I have ''such'' a hangover! I woke up earlier on top of a pile of corpses ina cemetery, which leads me to think I was killed and revived. Last diary entry was nearly a week ago, so I guess that was when I was killed. Great. I should find a new T-shirt, this one I'm wearing is getting a little bit more punk rock than I like... and I don't want things to... slip... through the bite marks either. I still have some body piercings that are not ready for public display, you know. <br><br><br />
<br />
Oh, god. Must find something to drink, preferably without alcohol... oh, and food. Where's my bottle of sunscreen? The sun is beating down relentlessly from overhead, as if trying to punish us for our trespasses. Let's see... umbrella, sunglasses, sunblock, aspirin. I should be ready for an excursion... <br><br />
<br />
=== 15th ===<br />
<br />
Looks like I've forgotten to write things down again. Meh.<br><br><br />
<br />
It's been two weeks since the Cinema gig, and I'm back near the cathedral. I've been busy searching out decorations and setting them up, and I've been trying to advertise the Brigade as well as I can. The weather is really hot, but my umbrella is working fine, and I'm hardly tanned! <br><br><br />
<br />
The question is, what theme should we have? If we're going to use the cathedral, we will have lots of space, and could possibly play more than one genre. I'm thinking classic Goth in one area, a bit older, punkier stuff in one area, hard-hitting idustrial in one and perhaps... some slower, more ethereal stuff in one? Gotta talk it over with Ntla1. <br />

== May == <br />
<br />
=== 25th ===<br />
<br />
So much to do, so little time... <br><br><br />
<br />
We now have a location for our next Club Night! We'll be doing our thing at [[Kilingback Cinema]] in [[Danversbank]]. I used to come here a lot, back before, because it almost only rolled old horror films and stuff like that. I actually never considered using an old cinema for a club night. Ntla1 suggested we do an EBM night in a junkyard, and while that's not a bad idea I suppose we'll do that a bit later. I'm going to stay here for a few days befor the club night, because the [[Drama Club]] will perform "Army of Darknesss" here a couple of days earlier, and that would be cool to see. <br><br><br />
<br />
I'm still carrying around a couple of skulls and a whole skeleton to decorate the place with. I packed the skeleton in a bag, now I'll have to see if I can reassemble it properly... Eh well. I don't think I'll be able to find any tapestries around here, but I'll keep looking just the same. Tomorrow, I'll try to connect the cinema's PA system to the portable CD player I found. That should be... exciting.<br />
<br />
=== 18th ===<br />
<br />
Long time, no write. Oh, well. <br><br><br />
<br />
The [[cathedral]] looks ''very'' impressive, but it has a few problems. First of all, since we are still so few, and I haven't yet figured out how to build proper barricades, the place would be really difficult to maintain, and would most likely get broken into even before we got started. As with [[malls]], once one section gets broken into, the zeds would be all over in a flash, stinking up the place. Not to mention that all the stuff we would need, like a DJ booth, drinks, speaker system, drinks, snacks, drinks, would have to be carried there by hand, and the only club within walking distance was [[Club Izzard]]. Ah, well, it was a nice idea while it lasted. There's a museum here that has some good pickings, I'll see what I can liberate before I move on. <br><br><br />
<br />

<br><br />
Slender beams of moonlight enter<br><br />
this darkened church as I kneel,<br><br />
always forlorn, always despairing,<br><br />
frozen here,<br><br />
waiting.<br><br />
<br><br />
Robed forms wrought in panes of glass loom as<br><br />
dust dances in the air,<br><br />
forming an image in my mind,<br><br />
searing my darkened soul.<br><br />
<br><br />
Tears on an angel's face.<br><br />
<br><br />
I raise my head, now embracing<br><br />
this uncaring Limbo.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== 4th === <br />
<br />
Well, the Grand Opening was a bit less of a success than I hoped, but in the end we had a visit from a large group of [[zombie | death rockers]], who joined us for a good slam dance. I woke up thinking I had a terrible [[Infection | hangover]], but it turned out that I was just dead. Ntla1 revived me, and suggested that we have another club event every two weeks or so. He also suggested that we relocate to somewhere a bit safer, like a [[cathedral]]. I've gone away to scout out the nearest one, and we'll see.<br />
<br><br />
''Later'' <br><br />
I'm in [[Vinetown]], and although I haven't made it to the cathedral yet, I've passed by the [[mall]], and I found a [[museum]] that would be a great supply for skeletons and other decorations! I made sure to pick up a skull when I was there. <br><br><br />

== April ==<br />
<br />
=== 24th ===<br />
<br />
I am shocked and dismayed! Today I returned to [[Pennville]], only to find that at least parts of the suburb had been overrun by zombies while I was gone. They had even broken into [[Club Barling]]! The smoke machine is gone again, but they had left the stores of drinks alone, thankfully, and the DJ booth only needs some dusting. All the decorations are gone, so it's a good thing that I wrote on the [[Recruitment#The_Batwing_Brigade | posters]] that people should bring their own. We'll see what happens. <br><br><br />
<br />
I was looking for some skeletons or something before I came back, but found absolutely nothing. I hope the others have better luck... <br><br><br />
<br />
'''[http://www.deadlounge.com/poetry/poems.html Pulled Apart]''' <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
the night falls with a silent sigh, fearful are we.<br><br />
the understanding for which I pine<br><br />
flares once, then dies,<br><br />
swept away by madness.<br><br />
all hope must surely perish.<br><br />
<br><br />
my passion throbs no more.<br><br />
how could you tear us asunder?<br><br />
lost souls surround us, crying,<br><br />
we are fallen.<br><br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
=== 18th ===<br />
<br />
Today a guy passed through the house I was resting in, and seemed happy to see a goth girl around. He said that there were a lot of goth guys in [[Danversbank]], so I'll make a tour there before going back to [[Club Barling]]. I have packed in as many tapestries as I can carry anyway. <br><br><br />
<br />
=== 17th ===<br />
<br />
I've gone off on a treasure hunt! I've actually walked almost two suburbs away fron the club, to try and find proper decorations. Right now I'm looking for tapestries to put on the walls. It's a little dark in here, but I couldn't find a generator, and I don't know if it would be a good idea to set one up anyway. The light might attract zombies. I have nothing against the african stuff I found in [[Pennville]], but it wasn't quite right for [[Club Barling]]... <br><br><br />
<br />
I've got nearly twoo weeks to go, hopefully I'll be able to pick up more than just a few tapestries. A couple of skulls would be nice, so a museum of natural history next, perhaps. <br><br><br />
<br />
Tophat Tim had left a note for me while I was sleeping, but he didn't say where he was staying, so I couldn't find him again, but I hope we'll see each other before the Grand Opening. I'll ask him if he wants to be head bartender. I really hope we can get the club started again, it almost feels as if I have a purpose in life... <br><br><br />
<br />
'''[http://www.deadlounge.com/poetry/poems.html untitled]''' <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
It is a night of dark desire, a song of death,<br><br />
wolves vent their loneliness. The immortal one<br><br />
rises.<br><br />
<br><br />
Mist shrouds her pale form,<br><br />
a brooding agony.<br><br />
<br><br />
Her raven hair cascades over<br><br />
translucent ivory shoulders, and her<br><br />
full crimson lips part slightly, to taste the<br><br />
life streaming from the<br><br />
pale flesh beneath<br><br />
her.<br><br />
<br><br />
Now a night of sharing,<br><br />
I hunger.<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== 16th ===<br />
<br />
The work to get the club ready for the Grand Opening is under way! I've been dividing my time between spraying adverts for it on the nearby houses, and visiting the local [[museum]]s to find decorations. NTLA1 texted me a list of stuff to look for: <br><br><br />
<br />
* Mouldering tapestry <br />
* Medieval tapestry <br />
* Dark tapestry <br />
* Headless statue sculpture <br />
* Skull (arguably redundant in Malton, hence the non-inclusion of the full human skeleton) <br />
* Monkey skeleton (Cool, a monkey skeleton! And look at its fangs, like a little vampire!) <br />
* Bird skeleton ("Quoth the Raven...") <br />
* Lizard skeleton (reptiles are inately goth) <br />
* Antique mirror (goths and mirrors, need I say more?) <br />
* Grecian Urn (as in "Ode to a ...") <br />
<br />
<br><br />
We'll see how much of that I'll find, but it's worth a try! Maybe I'll ask NTLA1 to work as our in-house Industrial DJ? <br><br />
On another note, I found the cutest little umbrella the other day! It's black, of course, with one layer of rain proof cloth and an outer layer of black lace! I use it all the time, against the sun! I still haven't figured out how to swing [[Fire axe | Baby]] while holding the umbrella, but I'll get the hang of it, I'm sure! <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
=== 11th ===<br />
<br />
Dear Diary, I'm bored.<br><br><br />
<br />
I have had plenty of time to write, but nothing to write ''about''. That could of course be a good thing, seeing as how most of the time I have something to write about it's mostly about people getting eaten alive by the undead. <br><br><br />
<br />
I've been trying to make contact with some of my old friends, the comrades in black, and get them to come to [[Club Barling]] on April 30th to be part of the Grand Opening. Which will not be so grand if nobody shows up... The [[Reformed Pennville Militia]] did say they would come, if only for the drinks, but it's not the same. I've tried to telephone people I knew, but mostly I get "no signal", and whenever somebody picks up the only answer is various forms of "Graaagh!". Which doesn't help my mood at all, I might add. <br><br><br />
<br />
I've made an inventory of the bar at the club, and if I can get one or two of the militia boys to help out we should be able to serve some really good stuff. I don't know why the booze is still there, maybe people have been content with he beer so far... They have a distillery going in a cellar a few blocks away, and I found a whole box of alcohol flavouring syrup in different flavours a couple of days ago, so whatever we don't have, we'll be able to fake.<br><br><br />
<br />
Ah, whatever. At least I'll be a DJ in my own club, like I always wanted. Yay for me. <br><br><br />
<br />
I should probably get something to eat, besides vinegar crisps. Later. <br><br><br />
<br />
=== 3rd ===<br />
<br />
Didn't get much done today, but I did find a nice pair of sunglasses! They cover most of my face, it seems, and they were barely scratched at all. No hat or parasol though... <br><br><br />
<br />
I went into [[Club Barling]] to print out some [[The_Batwing_Brigade | flyers]] on the computer I found in the manager's quarters the other day, and there was this guy in there that really creeped me out. On his name tag it said [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=404421 Nuke Texas] instead of a name, and on his back he had written in felt pen: <br><br><br />

I asked one of the other survivors in there what it meant, and she said the guy was a [[PKer | hit man]] or serial killer, and that he was bragging about the people he had killed. She told me that all the names on the list were from a group called the [[BMC]], whatever that means. He was armed to the teeth, and just sat there, saying nothing, smiling a little. I made sure not to stay too long... <br />
<br><br><br />

<br />
=== 2nd ===<br />
<br />
I spent the weekend mostly indoors, but I have finally learned to [[Free Running | cross barricades]]! I've actually moved from [[Club Barling]] to another building nearby. Previous experience tells me that barricades I could climb over from outside aren't good enough to keep me safe overnight if a zombie or two are persistent enough... <br><br><br />
<br />
I managed to update my mp3 playlist at the DJ booth at least! I now have a full Gigabyte of great stuff to listen to. I've been talking over the radio with [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=767559 a guy] who used to hang at [[Club Barling]] before, and he's on his way down here. I'm hoping we'll be able to set the place up properly and contact our old friends, and get the [[The_Batwing_Brigade | old club]] going again. Those who are still alive are probably already recruited to some militia or other, but I still hope to get some of them to take up the offer. <br><br><br />
<br />
I've trimmed the [[flak jacket]] i found so it's comfortable to wear, and I used some white fabric paint to draw a smiling skull on it, because these things look pretty drab unless you fix them up. I managed to get a bath and wash my clotes this weekend also, but I figure I'll have to go off to a mall any day now to get some more t-shirts and socks and stuff, or I'll soon smell just like the zombies anyway. <br><br> <br />
<br />
I'll make a point to look for some sunglasses as well, today it was almost unbearably bright and sunny. Hm, how would I look in a black leather cowboy hat? Or a lace [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasol parasol]? <br><br><br />
<br />
== March ==<br />
<br />
=== 29th ===<br />
<br />
Aha! Today I finally found a [[flak jacket]]! I'm going to settle down right now and fix it so I can wear it properly, and make it look cool. And somebody has installed a [[generator]] here, so the speaker system is live. I'm going to raid the DJ booth for some good music, I know they have some decent stuff here. Yesterday I found a new [[mobile phone]], it's an all black clam shell model with a built-in mp3 player! It was full of brainless pop crap, but if I can get some good stuff off the DJ equipment maybe I'll be able to load it in the phone playlist. <br><br><br />
<br />
Or, I could spend the evening trying to get something to eat. Decisions, decisions... <br><br><br />
<br />
I've been trying to learn how to climb across barricades, so I can get into the hospital or the library, but the learning is slow. I have splinters in my hands! <br><br><br />
<br />
The Daystar is glaring down, and the only reason I go out in the day at all is because the zombies are more active in the night... or so people tell me. Dammit, I'm a creature of the night also! Should I really need to fear the rotting horde like this? Apparently... <br><br> <br />
<br />
'''[http://www.deadlounge.com/poetry/poems.html Untitled]'''<br />
<br />
Around, all around, the sinister creatures gather.<br><br />
My dread grows as the angry hand of Heaven falls against my eyes.<br><br />
It smites me, and darkly my<br><br />
essence drips<br><br />
to the broken ground.<br><br />
In agony I flee<br><br />
while oblivion surrounds me.<br><br />
Now alone, my cascade of tears falls upon darkened eyes.<br><br />
<br><br />
This is Hell<br><br />
<br />
=== 28th === <br />
<br />
I woke up today when a man with a beard was patching me up with a [[first aid kit]], and I feel much better. He left before I had a chance to say thanks, but maybe he hangs around this area. I need to get more [[FAK]]:s of my own, anyway. <br><br><br />
<br />
I went out to find supplies, and came home with some freeze-dried soup and a bottle of soda. I'll probably keep the bottle after it's empty, to keep water in. It's getting warmer. I could really use a bath, speaking of that. Now I just have to find a way to cook the soup... I have a whole box of soup packets, maybe one of the other survivors has a gas cooker or something, and we can share. I'll ask. <br><br><br />
<br />
I found a police station that wasn't completely overbarricaded, so I went in looking for something useful. I found a few [[shotgun shell]]s to put in my [[shotgun]], it only had one to start with. Not that I can actually shoot straight with it, but I guess I can learn. I did ''not'' find a [[flak jacket]], which I would really have liked. A lot of people have them, and I'm beginning to feel a bit vulnerable. <br><br><br />
<br />
There doesn't seem to be a lot of zombies here, the streets almost looked safe. Though of course, that luck can run out really quickly... <br />

Just as I thought, I was awakened by a zombie happily chewing at my arm. Another survivor was trying to beat it away from me, but he had to run away. Good thing was, it looked like the zombie had run out of energy or something, because when I left it just stood there staring emptily at me. I hit it a couple of times with [[Fire axe|Baby]], winked at [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=759182 the cute punk] with the mohawk, and left. I walked straight south, and just when I thought I had lost my way I came right up to [[Club Barling]]! (a man here is telling me not to write down my location, in case I drop the diary and someone else, like a [[GKer|looter]] or a [[PKer|serial killer]] finds it, but I don't think it will be that bad). I used to come here all the time before the outbreak, it was the only place that had any good music. The decor hasn't changed that much since the outbreak, only now the cobwebs are real. <br><br><br />
Right now I've installed myself right under the bar on the third floor. I found a [[Wine|bottle of something]], drank half of it and splashed the rest on my bitemarks to disinfect them, and now I feel a little better. I still have some of the müsli bars from yesterday, so I'll have dinner ''and'' breakfast! Yay for me.<br><br><br />

<br />
the night falls with a silent sigh, entwined are we.<br><br />
the salvation for which you sacrifice yourself<br><br />
flares once, then dies,<br><br />
devoured by the all-encompassing dark.<br><br />
all hope must surely perish.<br><br />
<br><br />
your heart desires no more.<br><br />
how could you fail to believe?<br><br />
shadows surround us, crying,<br><br />
we have lost our light.<br><br />

Dear diary, these last few weeks totally sucked. This morning I woke up in a cemetery near [[Tynte Mall]], and I have NO idea how I ended up there. I have a terrible pain in my neck, and someone has made bitemarks in my T-shirt. <br><br><br />
Actually, now that I think about it, I'm beginning to suspect that I was killed again... I must have walked here as a zombie. That would explain the really horrific taste in my mouth. I just found a note in my pocket, like some sort of home-printed business card, with a blue syringe painted on and the name [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=701034 Raven Nyx Raynes] next to a mobile phone number. I'll add it to my own mobile phone, maybe we'll meet again. <br><br><br />
Right now I'm hiding in a bank somewhere in [[Pegton]], and I hope I'll survive the night. The barricades don't look to good, but I can't build any myself so I'll just have to hope for the best. "Hope for the best"... Ha! There's a fricking joke. <br><br><br />
If I'm alive tomorrow, I'll try and find one of those cool [[flak jacket]]s, and perhaps I will survive just a little bit longer... <br><br><br />
Somehow I never envisioned the end of the world like this, hiding in the ruins of a broken city, trying not to get devoured by monsters that were once our loved ones... trying not to become monsters ourselves, and sometimes failing without knowing it. Dammit, I should have become a paperback writer!<br><br><br />
That's it for today, I'll go and raid the vending machine in the staff cafeteria now, I think I saw some müsli bars or something there.<br />
<br><br><br />
P.S. I miss my Mp3 player... Right now I could really listen to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wumpscut :wumpscut:], or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombina Zombina], or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxie_and_the_Banshees Siouxie]... it would feel really appropriate.<br />

My arm hurts. When I woke up today a zombie had broken into the police station where I was hiding, and attacked us! It killed two of the guys and took a huge bite out of my arm, but then the others started shooting at it. I ran outside, but there were a whole flock of the stinky things. I ducked them, and ran to a hospital I had seen on my way in, but it was barricaded. Two blocks away I found another hospital, or more like a care home for the elderly, where I found some [[first aid kits]]. All the while when I ran i felt a burning sensation in my arm, and I'm sure I was running a fever, so I popped some [[First_Aid_Kit | antibiotics]] along with the bandages, and that cleared it up. I'm still hurt, but I'm no longer bleeding and the fever is gone. <br><br><br />
<br />
I went back to the police station, but there were still a lot of zombies outside, so I hid in another building nearby. There is a soldier in here, but I think he hasn't been here long. His uniform is still mostly clean, he has no scars and he only has a pistol, not one of the shotguns I've seen others carry. I told him there was a zombie outside, but he just sat there clutching his water bottle and didn't answer. I'm getting a little nervous. <br><br><br />

I'm staying in a police department not far from the Great Wall. This was the only place I could find where I was able to get over the barricades, which means that the undead are able to break them down more easily. Tonight I woke up when one of them got inside, but the others killed it and dumped it outside before it did any damage. <br><br />
I can almost see the Great Wall from here. At night there are searchlights, and there's a hump that must be a guard tower. I have heard that they sometimes shoot people walking nearby, not caring if they are zombies or survivors. I wonder if we are ever going to get out, or if we're doomed to stay in here forever... <br><br><br />
<br />
Tomorrow, I'll sneak off to a library to see if I can find a poetry book. I should probably look for some food and a [[First Aid Kit]] as well... <br><br />

Today, I found a [[fire axe]]. I think I will call her "Baby". <br><br />
