Zombie Survival.

[miniPhil]

The Zombie apocalypse has occurred and you, despite whatever previous planning you may have had, have been bitten. You feel weaker and weaker as the day goes on and your wound burns leaving you in agony. You eventually pass out.
Upon awakening you notice the world is different than before. Everything has a greenish hue to it. You also feel a great hunger and to your horror you realise its for human flesh. Your disgust is soon washed away as your stomach rumbles. You let out a moan and begin to shuffle forward in search of dinner.
You are capable of basic thought, basic movement and can remember places and people of your past but all emotional attachment is gone. You cannot operate any machinery or tools and are incapable of communicating to your fellow zombies. What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you eat? How do you go about acquiring dinner?

Tl;dr U zombie! Wat do?

[Chewbaka]

Can I get specifics on how far dinner is, where I'm exactly located and what kind of weather is going on? I don't want to fail at this zombie thing.

Dinner could be anywhere. It all depends where you live or where you hang out most(your starting location). Weather is whatever you want. For generally purposes it wont hinder you.

Fantastic.

Starter position: My room.
I'd start by shuffling out the door to an unsuspecting populace in my seemingly safe house. Naturally, my lifestyle beforehand will allow me to ninja my way to food, because they'll think I'm just tired. I would then bite the nearest person, who will become terrified, and then pounce to devour. Since there was a game based on a zombie, I shall absorb that games power, and throw a limb to stop the person running away. I would then pounce on the other person, and devour them. Since the need to eat will continue, I would shuffle outside and down the street 20something miles to the town next to my home and terrorize those citizens, eating and throwing limbs and whatnot.

I know of a few retirement homes near enough to my house. And I know aaaaall the elementary school kids' routes back home.

Starter Position: The streets of some city

As I slowly get up from the ground I remember a small memory of my past-- but I dont remember the rest.
My father laying dead on the ground with zombies surrounding him. I may not feel any emotion-- but I still want the zombies who killed him dead. I slowly begin my journey by crawling up walls and all over as I look for any zombies in the abandoned city. I sight a small girl zombie who is sitting down by a trash can, eating out of it slowly. I make some weird snarl sound as I pounce on my unsuspecting prey. I quickly rip her to shreds as she makes screeching sounds before finally laying limp. Someone screams from behind me as I turn and see a teenage girl who appears to be crying after seeing such a terrifying sight. No matter how much she crys and screams-- I still am unemotionless, uncaring about anything. I pounce on her and bite her head, sinking my teeth into the flesh and sucking at her brain. Her flesh was the dinner and her brain is the desert. As I finish my meal I leave the bloody corpse behind as I continue my long quest to kill any zombies and eat any humans I see. The only emotion I feel is hatred-- hatred towards everyone and everything.

So what did you think of it? XD Hope its what ur looking for :P

Wouldn't it be more interesting if I was an intelligent zombie? In that case I'd put some make-up and a lab coat to trick humans into thinking I'm a scientist who has the vaccine, so they would allow me to inject them with some kind of paralytic. It's more satisfying if they actually feel those bites, right?

Wait- so I'm incapable of rational thought and speculative planning, but you want me to write up what I'd do? Isn't that a tad impossible?
"Imma zombie. Braaaaiiiiins!"
I suppose it'd come down to a poorly written script, honestly.

And why human flesh? What about beloved family pets? I think the dog might be drawn to my cry for braaaaiiiins, and she'd make an easy meal, naively trusting of her former master and friend.

[Diocletian]

I obviously post a thread in anime forum and ask everyone's opinion.

[Uchiha Ulquiorra]

(This is a bit hard since there are so many kinds of sombies that people have made up, lol )



One: now being so lucky as to not have been completely mauled by other zombies and only bitten. The end is only delayed be a few hours/days depending on how I choose to survive. Since I AM a zombie now, I assume that rage, hunger, and violence are the top three behaiviors.

Two: The best way to survive is to eat, eat, eat. and so on so, grouping up with other fellow zombies would be my best bet in case of not being able to find "food" I could just turn on other fallen zombies I come across fo a quick meal to keep me going until read "food" turns up.

Three: Now having found real "food" the only hope I have is getting to said food before the other zombies do.

Wouldn't it be possible to eat zombie flesh after you've throughly cooked it? I mean, it's not like it'll kill you. Or turn you into a zombie after you've cooked it.

Perhapes I should explain what I mean by 'basic thought'. Really what I ment was essentially explained in the sentences after. You can't speak and can only moan and things like computers or setting up traps a la Home Alone is not possible but you can think. You can say 'oh a lot of people might go to a hospital so I'll head there' or 'If I moan a lot maybe these other zombies will follow me and we can set up a hoard'.
That clear it up a bit?

Cus that would just remove a lot of tension for the humies. Gotta keep em busy.

[Eris]

Dunno. What's wrong with shuffling aimlessly and requesting brains?

A little bit.
Does the human flesh have to be fresh? Do I feel some kind of primal zombie urge to kill it myself, or is scavenging others' kills okay?
Either way, I suppose I'd start with the pawn shop about two miles from my house, perhaps selecting targets of opportunity along the way, if any present themselves.

As I pointed out in my EDIT comment, not if audiences' reactions to Bambi are any indication. A zombie devouring man's best friend would surely haunt them.

Why can't I eat other zombies, though? If they're the "Oh no! A zombie virus!" zombies, then they're technically still human, so I could get some flesh and double my zombie-ness up by ingesting the diseased meat all in one step. Wouldn't that be grand?!

[Chewbaka]

Requesting gets you shot with a shotgun. There must be action taken for getting what you need!

[Eris]

Not necessarily. It's a serious waste of ammunition to shoot every zombie you see. Ignoring apparently harmless zombies is pretty much required, unless you can manufacture ammunition.

Sorry I didn't see your edit. I suppose it would be quite horrifying wouldn't it? Alright animals are allowed but this isn't a vegetarian type deal you must still eat humans. Eating other zombies is a no though. I know were zombies now and all but you have to have some standards!
As for your newest edit reason, I seriously hope thats what Super Mario Galaxy 2 is about.

[Chewbaka]

True, but any zombie asking a human for brains does need to get shot, unless they're moving too slow, in which case you can just walk a little faster to get away from. Point being, stealth attacks instead of upfront asking gets possibly better results from this scenario.

[Eris]

How about this approach?

[miniPhil]

How about this approach?

Fraid not Eris, that constitutes as talking. Monocle and top hat are ok though.

[Chewbaka]

Does being sophisticated like that count as basic thought? If so, then I do believe that also works. I do however classify that as a sneak attack, since the human didn't suspect the zombie doing that.

Dunno. What if you're instinctively acting like a Victorian gentleman?

Hand gestures are fine too as are any other poses you feel can help along your disguise. But only moaning or mentioning brains. You can end your moan on a higher pitch if you wish to sound more posh.

Could you theoretically make your moans sound like words? If so, then pulling off the Victorian Gentleman disguise could work out.

No no no, consonants are simply not allowed. Except of course b, r, n and s and you can only use those if they are in that order with an 'AAYYYYYY' after the b and the r.
