[FFRP] The Black City...

[Knight Errant]

"Damn it all to hell..."

He waits a moment to see if that was the last wave, then checks his wrist.

[Zoey]

Out on the streets Caine continues to run as he reloads his guns. He's heading probably north.

Indeed it was the last wave, the parade of death had ended and what remained was a brief line of corpses for about twenty feet. Jack's wrist had a gash maybe three inches across the top (so as not for Jack to look like a badass mercenary emo lol). It had already stained any sort of clothing near it; long sleeved jacket, watch, etc...But it was the wound that caught his eye. It looked like the gash had been charred (think as if a deep scab has formed, but it's charcoal black).

Caine would find little more than empty streets, but off in the distance he saw a hospital.

Inside the building he just left, Caine can hear a soft -ffeeoo- sound repeating itself, as well as the sick thuds of slabs of meat hitting solid ground. It may not be outside yet, but that thing is still giving chase.

[Zoey]

Caine decides to try to climb to the room tops to be a bit more less visable. He finds those ladders that are at the side of a building, which he starts climbing.

[Knight Errant]

"Damn... what the hell is up with that..." He makes a note to keep a watch on it in case it starts feeling infected, and starts making his way to his car again.

[muffinstud]

Despite some faint rustling sounds below, nothing indicates the robot is following Caine any longer.

[Brnin8r]

Caine, as he got higher, could see more and more of the city. Eventually he was able to pinpoint the relative location of the company building he sought.

There were no incidents on his way to the car. Ducking through the alleyways to get to his car, he would notice that the cars had all turned off and the air was once again filled with dread silence. His car was right where it was when he left it.

[Zoey]

With now his goal in sight Caine decided to stay in the rooftops and travel through them. "Finally now I'm getting somewhere" he said.

[Knight Errant]

"Huh... guess someone just wanted to say hi."

He goes over, pulling his door open and getting in after checking around and in the car.

Needless to say, he would be glad when he was more mobile and armored.

[muffinstud]

Jack hears some eerie music being played from one of the nearby burnt out buildings.

[Knight Errant]

Jack was about to say to hell with all of it and just make for a retreat and come back later better equipped... But... the thought of turning tail didnt set well with him anyway. So he drives the car over, parks it next to the building, and gets out to check it...

[muffinstud]

The building seems to be what's left of the post office. Polyester ribbons set between poles form a pathway for a nonexistent line and the counters are covered in granules of safety glass. The music is coming from a couple of speakers in the ceiling. There is no movement whatsoever.

[Knight Errant]

His cybernetic eye sweeping its targeting laser around eerily, Jack begins looking for the source of the broadcast... it had to be in here somewhere.

[muffinstud]

The sensor detects the cd player from the back room hooked up to the post office's internal wiring. Once used to play muzak to unwary postal customers, there is no sign of anything nearby that could have turned it on.
