August August 28, 2007 Location: A warehouse (Lamport Hills) I had woke from my slumber as the last of the warehouse's barricade's fell; automatically I rolled to my feet, reaching for one of the flare guns I had found yesterday in the police department. Before I could pull it free from my pack, the zombies swept into the building, descending on the survivors and myself. The generator was smashed in the conflict, making it harder to see as the battle between living and dead continued. Things were getting worse of the side of the living and I slipped on my pack as several began to flee. Due to the darkened building, I stumbled several times...and into the grasp of the ones I sought to avoid. The zombie's claws lashed out as I struggled to escape; pain lanced up my arms as the ragged claws shredded my coat and blouse. Still I pushed through until I felt teeth sinking into my shoulder through my torn coat and blouse. With a scream I pulled away, clutching the wound, stumbling past another zombie that slashed at me; my vision's blurry and I can feel infection racing through my veins.... August 27, 2007 Location: A warehouse (Lamport Hills) . August 26, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) The undead have breached the Mansion, their groans filling the air; in the chaos, I saw Sir LP fall in the onslaught along with the others valiantly trying to defend the building that has become our home. With an infection, courtesy of a pair of differing zombies' bites, I exited the mansion to the Leary building to heal the damage done and help any other surivor I could. There was a man there in poor condition that I tended to immediately, getting him stable before leaving for the the police department in hopes of adding to my woefully inadequate arsenal... August 25, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) On my normal patrol of the revive point at Ambrose, I came across Sir M and Sir WV swaying, awaiting a revive in the ever growing horde there. With my syringes limited due to the constantly fluctuating state of the NecroTech, I revive them, knowing that they probably carried syringes on their person and were armed enough to help defend to Mansion if the undead turned their eyes from the NecroTech to our home... August 24, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) At Ambrose was a rotter; I didn't have the firepower needed to handle it myself, so I returned to the Mansion, informing the other revivers as I passed through. That is when I head someone making a joke about giving the residents of the main hall an enema on someone called Lord TinTin's orders. How crude...!

August 19, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) This evening was an odd one, to be certain; After the generator in the main hall of the Mansion had been refueled, I checked on the barricades and began to organize my medical equipment. My old Hospital ID was laying out in the open, which is how I guess those near me knew my name... "It's surprising we are the only ones here." A dark-haired man commented. I wasn't able to get a good look at him, his back was to me at the time. "Well, that, and Karen's super hot heels tastefully complimenting her crucifix..." I twitched in surprise, gripping one of my scalpels and sliding a foot to loop around the strap of my pack, dragging it -- and the pistol it contained -- closer to me discreetly. "Run, Karen, run! and don't look back..or just hide somewhere.." Another man, this one wearing a giraffe-print coat laughed before looking at the other man. "You've turned into a drunk perv again, Python...its great to have you back." A dark-haired young woman around my age replied with a laugh, "What do you mean turned into again? He's always a drunk perv. That's what makes him so lovably Byronic. Well... Not really." That cemented my decision to stay in the study with my new ally, where it would be far safer. We of FANNY tend to deal with a lot of drunk over-affectionate males, but while my sisters tend to be a bit more good-natured about it, it just embarrasses me. After I was in the setting up my blanket on one of the sofas -- the same one I used last time, I was here I believe -- the first man poked his head into the study. "Awww. Karen, don't be like that. We need you in the ULC. It's of the utmost importance you stay there. Please think about it, and ignore the one called Tin Tin." Honestly, I think he was lucky he didn't get shot -- Nicholas wasn't around and my ally was currently asleep. They get rather trigger-happy when they think my chastity -- or life -- is in peril. Its like having a band of over-protective brothers about, whom happen to have plenty of guns and no qualms about using them... August 18, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) I've found that despite the fall of Bale Mall, we've managed to keep the zombies back and with the peace the only deaths are from a few self-righteous bounty hunters that seems to not understand there's a ceasefire in effect; I spent the evening reviving Sir F and another lost soul at Ambrose. August 17, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) . August 16, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) I had been hearing about th fall of Bale Mall and was curios to see it for myself, to see if there was anyone left in need of help. There were a few zombies standing inside the mall and I found something that caught my amusement -- a pair of black stiletto heels. Never one to pass up an actual pair of new shoes, I snagged them and returned to the mansion. I wonder if the Knights or Nicholas will notice them? August 15, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) There wasn't much to do aside revive the odd soul at Ambrose and check the barricades of the Mansion and surrounding buildings. It was inside the church when I found the crucifix, that appears to have fallen from one of the boxes used for barricading the building. It's a nice necklace so I decided to keep it.

August 6, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) Things are so peaceful I could almost forget I'm in a zombie infested city if not for the barricades on the doors. In the now declared peace, I find myself able to catch up on the repair of the clothing of Nicholas and my allies, sitting in a sunny patch by one of the broken windows to make use of the best light as one of my allies greets a new member to the band and the soft murmur of their conversation blends with Sir F's soft murmuring of poetry as he flips through one of his many books... August 5, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) After a search for syringes at the now powered NecroTech building, I revived a pair of allies, one of which was Sir M himself. August 4, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) . August 3, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) I was able to revive three allies swaying at the revive point after we fought off an attack by the undead. I've heard wonderful news that there is now peace between my allies and the resident group that had been guarding the mansion. August 2, 2007 Location: Southall Mansion (East Boundwood) .
