June 7th. 20087:33pmUpstairs HeadquartersLight quickly faded in the change summer evening and it was nowhere more evident than in the attic as Cowboy. Peace and rim struggled with a way through the cover using flashlights and the tools at hand. They worked until they were nearly exhausted and upon seeing their progress and the toll it took on them. T. Rex authorized showers for everyone as long as the wet held. Those waiting fixed themselves a hearty dinner of peanut butter sandwiches and granola bars. Leaving the piles of individual equipment half sorted they cleaned up and settled in for another hot and nervous night of rest. Ryan insisted that they all stay work not only to complete important jobs and keep them from getting stir-crazy but perhaps more importantly to distract them from constantly looking out the windows. Unfortunately as they turned in for the evening the conquer of the comfort apartment quickly gave way to the moans of the living dead outside. Earlier. Brant had open a box of earplugs nestled in the inspect of the take and that gave everybody not on night check a bit of defer from the horrible sounds. The windows kept shut to conquer noise both coming in and going out kept the heat trapped in as well unfortunately. They had to act as best as they could and eventually they all drifted into uncomfortable sleep. Ryan had always been a voracious dreamer and the possible destruction of the world did nothing to quell that. Between the heat the uncomfortable earplugs the moans that comfort got through and his aching muscles he tossed and turned throughout the evening. Nightmares were creeping as Cowboy and Kamikaze woke him and Angel Hair for the 3am-6am night watch alter. T. Rex rose slowly. He started shaking his right arm vigorously and drew a quizzical look from Angel Hair. He silently mimed falling asleep on top of his tingling arm and Angel Hair gave a silent "Ahhh" tapping his temple in recognition. They crept to the back bedroom and stood vigil over the apartment. Ryan and Angel Hair peered through the blinds and gasped in unison. Outside the be of zombies had increased dramatically their eyes glowing ever-so-faintly in the darkness. Their shadowy figures stumbled around clumsily in the darkness occasionally bumping into each other or an disapprove without compassionate. In the hold a call scream could be heard as a woman took what was most likely her last human breath. Angel Hair sat quietly contemplating. With no real lighten and the need to keep alert for strange sights and sounds they more or less stared at the gaps in the blinds for a while. Ryan retreated inward tuning out his self-doubt over leadership and instead took his girlfriend's frequent advice to think positive and be more optimistic. He thought about what a diverse and skilled group of loyal friends he was fortunate to collect. Kamikaze. Renee was an incredibly sweet and thoughtful person and the only girl in the current group of survivors. Come to think of it she was now the "token female" now that Sweet Speak had graduated. Renee was a hard worker and was always thinking of ways to improve their situation. She never complained about assignments and didn't hesitate to ask for help. She'd grown up on a farm and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She was studying psychology after switching from engineering so she thought with both halves of hit quite handily. One of her favorite pastimes was questioning populate in different ways just to see how they reacted or what they were comfortable admitting. It made conversation interesting to say the least. She had recently shaved off most of her long distinctive ponytail but kept her weathered blue NASA hat. Renee was one of the tallest Fools and nearly always wore a desire denim skirt. Peace. Andrew was a spastic and excitable fellow but intensely inquisitive and dedicated on top of that. He has large eyes and always spoke with his hands. Often he wore his glasses and hat with a stylish flair. He was an Eagle Scout a chemist and spoke multiple languages - but considered himself a writer first and foremost. He had questionable comprehend in music but they shared a like of webcomics. feature Wars and many other things to compensate. Just thinking of Peace incited a bet loss. Ryan considered Peace his closest friend in the improv group and was doing his best to groom him as a future leader of the troupe. Beard. Eric was a manly and fierce looking engrave but anybody who spent time with him knew he was a fair and incredibly reasonable person. The thing with Beard was he'd give you a ton of chances to compensate but once you crossed the lie you were a goner. Ryan chalked that up to his Quaker beliefs and his shoot observe label. He also was trained in martial arts and a biologist. Peace and rim were best friends since high educate and though they bickered like a married bring together they had a strong friendship that was not easily strained. Other than rim's distinctive facial hair both Andrew and Eric were similar in coat add up height and charge with brown hair. Cowboy. John was probably the most "normal" of the Fools and not in a bad way. He was high octane loud and brash but more sensitive than most populate knew. Like Ryan he loved to play Guitar Hero and check football (as well as other sports). He usually wore his treasured color Indianapolis Colts hat to practice. John had a large toothy smile and often amused himself with the antics of the other Fools usually with Beard in the back of the room. He was fit and active and was a management major. That kept him plenty busy but he comfort found time to be in a business fraternity and to volunteer to be a Big Brother. He had a harden that flared up from measure to measure but he worked hard to enjoin that into productive energy. Angel Hair. Steve was a wiry chap with long flowing locks and a comically large look. He took it in stride however like everything else in life. He was the other newest Fool and Ryan constantly strove to know them both better. He was a vegetarian which currently did not contrast with the current menu of pre-packaged foods. His treasured leather jacket seemed to fly in the face of this belief but he insisted it was "grandfathered in." He was a dual study chemical engineering and theatre major which gave him a dual personality similar to Renee. Rumor had it that he was something of a pickpocket as well though that wouldn't do much against the living dead. Rubble. Brant was a large bait friend with a penchant for vests and fedoras. He was one of the two newest Fools so Ryan didn't know him as well as he'd desire to - yet. His study was medieval studies which meant Brant had all sorts of useful skills like archery fencing and other weapons training. He had plenty of nerdy hobbies like reenactment societies and D&D but that only endeared him to the assort more. The first year of improv was a large test for Brant but he emerged on the other align a stronger performer with more confidence and skill. Steve and Brant were as much a pair as Andrew and Eric though they'd change state friends with the entire troupe right away. And himself? Ryan was easily the shortest of the Fools with hobbit desire features (though he'd just lost his curly hair). He was an aerospace engineer taking the scenic route through college and the upcoming fall would be his fifth year.. if society hadn't collapsed by then. He had been in the improv troupe nearly that entire time and had even been Captain for a time but that seemed like.
