Dawn 3
Middlenow Town Square Shopping Center
Apartment #23-01 - Derekku Chan's apartment.
"Yawn... Having an apartment of your own sure feels much different. At least this place wasn't affected by the--- whoa, nice n' stylish clothes. These guys around these parts are really rich, eh?"
Derekku happily surveyed around the house. There was a reason why Pasonia wrote a note at the back of the key that says "If you don't have breakfast at home, your neighbours might." The food certainly wasn't affected like those that are rotting green at the supermarket, thank goodness."
Suddenly, Derekku noticed that something's stirring in his apartment. Fearing for the worse, Derekku scrambled around the house for a broom, then began to tread slowly towards his bathroom.
"Woo... WooOOooOooooo..."
The hissing got Derekku's hair standing on end. "But didn't I offer prayers for those two?!"
"Woo... whoa..."
Derekku suddenly thought that maybe he'd played a bit too much L4D, and what he was experiencing was mixing the illusion of a Witch into here. But, try as he might to shake that thought off his head---
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Before waiting to see what was bursting in his face, Derekku took off at the fastest speed he could, screaming his ass off.

Meanwhile...
Pasonia decided that crashing since the start of last Dusk wasn't the best idea, but given that he'd had to do some rather humorous stuff since late yesterday, it was just plain tiring.
And then he saw someone's silhouette appear from the top of his head. It wasn't screaming - probably dead before he was thrown down - but the death was pretty...
"...messy. Blood trails mean the fuckin' wolves are amateurs at the art of murder."
Just as he was about to approach Derekku's apartment to ---
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was an amazing whir of "wtf". Pasonia did not know what happened initially, but all he saw was Derekku running out of the apartment with only a singlet and a pair of boxers on (fortunately). But the real problem began when Derekku bumped into SFG, who started to shriek alongside Derekku for no fuckin' apparent reason, and in five minutes, the whole damn apartment area was literally quaking because everyone was screaming their ass off awake.
"Oh, for the love of gawd, shut up!" Pasonia urged SFG.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Shut up!" Even nardi was shouting his ass off.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Pasonia then picked up a nearby loudhailer, and, at the top of his voice he yelled,
"SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Instant peace.
"...Waitasecond, did I just notice something?"
Pasonia looked at nardi. He checked back his records, slowly and carefully. nardi was supposed to be dead.
It was then...

At the same time, about three miles away...
Private C. Weston thought that maybe he'd heard wrong, but from the quarantined town, there was some sort of screaming. That being the only information he's got, the private knocked on the barrack doors for his commanding officer, Captain Weston Tyme.
"Sir, did you hear that noise?"
"What exactly, Private? I've been sleeping, so make sure it's good."
"In the direction of the Shopping Center, sir. I seem to hear someone scream."
The captain listened on, but heard nothing, shortly after which he lectured the private for bothering him.
"Don't bother me at 6.30AM with this sort of mundane stuff, Private. Just keep a look out on those idiots in town."
"Yes... sir---"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh for the love of God --- who the hell just did that?!"
The private winked at his commanding officer. "Sir, that was what I was about to tell you..."

"...ouch, you guys. My eardrums hurt."
Pasonia tried to regain his composure. "For the love of the Almighty... nardi, why didn't you tell me sooner you're here?"
"How the hell should I know? I only remember getting a nasty brick to the head. Who the hell did it?"
The posse cleared their throats. They know who, but they just can't say it.
"Fine, fine, whatever. Have I, uh, been sleeping much of late?"
Pasonia could only squirm around. "Uhh, yea. Two days."
"Two freakin' days! Why didn't anyone wake me up?"
Pasonia shrugged, while the rest tried to regain their composure.
"Well, as a matter of fact, YOU woke the rest up. Anyway, less talking.
Day 3 has begun so open your trappers.
Additionally, when I clarify rules by text (this is to mean PMs and all) I do not wish to see public correspondence of my messages onto this thread or into IRC. I am a private man, and I expect you guys to observe this basic etiquette.
nardi11011, you're officially back in the game.
neo@lex smashed to bits downstairs. You guys go take a look if you want to. Additionally, if you want to play sports or pool, I just hacked past the security system."
"With what?" Echo decided for a bit of wisecracking.
"With a table."
"Huh?"
Pasonia got impatient, so he flung a chair directly at a window panel, smashing it to bits while allowing the chair to freefall all its way down. Two's dead body got struck again.
"If you must, I hacked it this way. Oorah?"
