Outset - First Day

Tony, turns his board around, and skates back towards elias. "oh yeah? I don't even KNOW you, old man. Why should I listen to you?" Although he seems defiant, at least he stopped leaving.

"Got one right here. Why? Think we'll meet any zombie space dogs?"

"I'll get to you in a moment." Elias dictates to Tony in a stern voice, somewhat annoyed. "We can't assume whatever is going on can be handled by talking nice. If we stick together we all have a better chance of surviving. Law of probability and all."

He turns his attention squarely at Tony.

"You can go running off on your own if you want to, but let me tell you this. When you weren't even a twinkle in your father's eye I was fighting alongside men. Good men, a lot of 'em who died. Though there were ones of us who made it through. The ones who made it though only made it because we did it together. So, when your punk ass gets screwed over, and you live your last moments begging for your life, no one is going to come save you. All because you thought you'd be better of alone."

Elias takes a few steps back. Getting so flustered isn't such a great idea at his age. He takes a deep breath and continues

"Still, I can't tell you what to do. Your a kid, and kids never listen."

Tony looks at the man like he belongs in a home. "You kidding me? you see two wack-jobs and an abandoned part of town, and you think the world has ended? you must be crazy old man"

"Like I said, damn kids never listen. Don't have any instincts either. Wouldn't see trouble coming if it knocked at your door." Elias takes a pause, a deep breath in a somewhat vain attempt to collect himself.

"Do what ya' want."

Annie watches the discussion while trying to call the cops again.

Ann: Their bickering continues onward. "We're sorry. This number appears to have been disconnected."

"OK people, either somebody's cut the phone line by some amazing coincidence, or that guy had a point and there are no cops."

Tony, hearing the bad news, stops and takes a deep breath. He then lifts his head back up and says "Okay, so maybe the crazies are right. but I left tools at my place and I have to go get them."

This gets a small smile. "Tools?"

Tony looks at ann, and shrugs, "Yeah, tools. You know, those things used to make work easyer. I don't want to go wandering around crazy-town without them" He crosses his arms, grabbing onto the straps of his backpack, one foot on his board.

Ann runs a hand through her hair and looks at her boots. "Lets head to your place together and split up as soon as we see life being normal and realise this was all bullshit. Kay?"

"Good enough, let's get out of here." Elias says with a hint of exasperation in his voice.

Docks District, Harbor Road. Heading South.

Harbor Road - 3:40 - All
The road continues to be devoid of people. The parked cars seem to taper off as you go farther into the actual docks part of the docks, but nothing terribly supernatural seems to be running around. The silence, however, is rather obvious: no birds yelling their heads off, no cars honking from distant traffic, no machinery operating in the yards. As the ground to your left slopes downwards, you can see the river heading south, with a loaded barge traveling away from town. The road continues, sloping slightly downward and moving a bit to the right.

Locations of Travel:
Left/Right: Warehouses.
Far Left: Shoreline, .5 miles.
Southwest: Edge of town Residential(Tony's house). 2.5 miles.
Southwest: Red Light District(Ann, Elias' apartments). 4 miles.
North: Return to Train Crash. .5 miles.

Action: Anyone can take action.

Not knowing the way, Annie follows, looking seriously creeped out as she does.

Harbor Road - 3:41 - All
As you walk southward, you finally get to hear a real noise. Sounds like metal grinding, far off to the left. A quick peek doesn't show too much out of the ordinary... well, wasn't that boat moving? Ripples are still coming off of it, smoke is still rising, but it doesn't seem to be getting very far.
The sound suddenly becomes much louder, as the boat has the indecency to decide it's not going to put up with this anymore. With a tremendous screech of metal ripping away, the boat splits in two, the back half pushing the front aside as it darts forward again. The two halves of the barge slowly droop into the river, with only one of the smokestacks sticking out above the water, now with only steam coming out of the top.

"Guys, we are fucking sticking together!"

Tony looks over at the boat, as it sinks into the water. "well... thats not normal... It looks almost as though something ripped it in half. but how? what the hell is going on?"

"I'll get back to you on that. Right now, I am leaving here." Annie walks quickly in the direction she was going before.

"Well, haven't seen anything like that for some time. Once back in 'Nam, actually. Well, I guess we should get hurrying on." Elias takes another gander at the boat, and tentatively heads off for home.

Harbor Road - 3:44 - All
Going down the road as it turns to the right, your progress is thwarted by a rather strange roadblock: A large section of pavement, probably 20-30 feet wide, has opened up into the sewers below. A mess of vile looking water and smashed asphalt stands below you, probably about a 10 foot slide down into the muck. There seems to be no obvious explanation for the sudden structural failure.
A small sound reaches your ears as well, an odd crunching sound from behind a rusty blue car(probably a volvo) to the right.

Locations of Travel:
Down: Sewers.
Left: Warehouses.
Far Left: Shoreline, .5 miles.
Right: Dock Offices.

Action: Anyone can take action.

Biting her lip, Annie takes the gun out of her purse. "Sorry guys, but I have to know what that noise is." She walks around the car, ready to shoot something.

Ann: As you walk around the car, the source of the crunchy noise is revealed: A dog of sorts appears to be having a nice meal... chomping into the leg of a cop, lying facedown in a small pool of blood. His nightstick rests a little ways away past the two of them, while his pistol is still in his hand. The dog, hearing your approach, turns up to look at you. While it looks like a dog, it's clearly got some problems... there's a large bone sticking out a little behind it's shoulderblade, not broken, just... there. The left eye has turned a dark shade of red, while blood and meaty goodness are splattered all over its face. Some mound of flesh appears to be trying to push out of the bottom of its neck, but you can't make heads or tails of it.
Unfortunately, this dog seems to think you look nice and tender. You'd make a fine desert after the chicken fried cop.

Ann: The dog... thing starts to growl at you, but then gives out a disturbing whine when you finish delivering your bullet to him, courtesy of his new breathing hole in his shoulder. A thick, almost pasty blood splurts out of the hole, pumping in rhythm with his heartbeat. The dog returns to growling, now starting to limp forward towards the offending dessert.
Misshapen Dog: 1(Leth) damage. The dog looks mildly injured.

Ann: +1 Dexterity, +1 Firearms.

Action: Tony's turn. The closest enemy is 5 yards away, behind a car, Condition(Mildly Injured).
