Let's Survive Zafehouse: Diaries!

WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!? No not Erika

Well said, John, well said.

Confirming actions:

Haniel /Erika, Eboby /"Shark Soup" Ted, Randomletters /Tappei and Sarasha /Marko want to breach-search the small buildings in the northeast. (I assuming that means the warehouses, the store, and the house, yes?)
JohnStargazer /Mikolaj wants to breach the police station with brass knuckles.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. >:|

If the bar is secure, I'd like to breach-search with Erika and Marko.

I'm going to help with breaching the small buildings. I don't think breaching the police station would be a good idea unless we were all involved.

Haniel /Erika, Eboby /"Shark Soup" Ted, Randomletters /Tappei and Sarasha /Marko want to breach-search the small buildings in the northeast.
JohnStargazer /Mikolaj wants to breach the police station with brass knuckles.



Well, this is it, folks. I'm sending Mikolaj back home to rest.

;_____;



Rest in pieces, Mikolaj. ;^; Seriously though couldn't you have taken out more than two zombies with you what a fucking incompetent AND you had to take one of our better melee weapons with you too asshole



YES! BOLT ACTION RIFLE! We can finally put our stockpile of .223R rounds to use! Also we found out that the chopper will arrive either early Saturday morning or Saturday night. Not too useful at this point.



Marko and Ted are still BFFs. Maybe they're just happy to see each other after having been separated for so long.



GODDAMNIT TAPPEI

The bruising doesn't worry me as much as the fact that he's frustrated with everyone after the battle, I mean, after what that rumour did to his relationship with E-

I KNEW IT /BRB DYING

This would have never happened if you hadn't spread that catastrophic rumour and oh, forgotten that rumours are totally available right now and have been for a while :D

Well, at least Tappei's incompetence worked out well for everybody involved this time.



Whoah, look at Tappei go! He's really taking out his Erika-hate on the zombies, isn't he.



And hurray! We've confirmed that the rescue location is at the university! To be honest I've pretty much known this for a while now since choppers never visit regular houses (I think), but it's nice to know for sure, isn't it? But more importantly...



Phew. All those clues we found has really helped your relationships much more efficiently than any feast could. And at least Erika and Tappei won't be trying to murder each other soon. Hopefully.



And with that, we've reached the end of our breach run!



Everyone seems to be tired. Tappei and Ted haven't rested since this whole thing started.



You've got a day, maybe two, left on the clock, and still no radio. What's next?

((I amuses me no end the first catastrophical run here found the radio in the first turn whereas any run I do NEVER find it until the very last moment and always in the mosy fucked up place imaginable. It was inside the POLICE STATION in the UV run, for crying out loud. POLICE STATION. I hate the police station. It scares me and murders people.

Though in that run the only one to die was Mike, the resident police officer. In the hospital. That we breached to treat him.))

What rumors are still available?

Also, what clues do we have, again?

Celebrity: He wrote an article for the local paper/wrote a book/directed a film that was slightly/moderately/outrageously popular among poor/middle-class/rich, young/middle-aged/old men/women.

Crime: He was accused/convicted of committing a serious/minor crime. The victim was gay/a foreigner/racist and male/female, which were/but these were not motivating factors.

The only thing you still need is the radio.

Alright, let's just go down the street, assault-breach-searching the bank, and then just breach-searching the factory, the house, and the library. Then we ought to rest at the hotel. That'll leave us with only large buildings, and hopefully the radio isn't in any of them.

Also, I heard that Magical Elitist Detective Furudo Erika-chan directed a film that was outrageously popular among middle-class, middle-aged men.
Question: What are the different levels of fatigue?

Rested
Fresh
Flagging
Tired
Exhausted

That's it, I think.

I'll add an addendum, then. If anyone reaches exhausted by the time we reach the residence, after searching, let's just go straight to the hotel, and hitch the library later. Is that alright with everyone else?

((I love this game sometimes. I decide to take one round while I wait for my senile old laptop to stop pondering if it wants to load my notes from class and this happens.



It wasn't even viscious!

*ahem*

I think you're right. That's the levels of exhaustion I've noted as well, anyway.))

(( I agree. ))

((Oh, and I can't believe I forgot to do this earlier

Gursk walks warily down the street
Life expectance way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Brass knuckles ready to go
Are you ready?
Are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
At the station where officers die
As if they were dead meat?

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
They're gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think you're gonna get along
Now that your pillar is down?
You'll be arguing and tossing stuff and hate unfairly
Leave 'em when they're down, yeah

Are you racist?
Are you prejudiced?
How long can you stand the rich?
At the station where the officers die
As if they were dead meat

Another one bites the dust...

There's plenty of ways the game can screw you over
Bring you to the ground
The infection or the girl scout or the mobs akimbo
No radio in town yeah
So be ready
Yeah be ready for them
Ted is standing on her robot feet
At the station where the officers die
As if they were dead meat))

Am I one of the only people who isn't terrified of breaching the police station? Because I usually just assault it a couple of times before breaching and don't have any trouble with it. Hell, it's usually been more than worth it every time I've done so, thanks to the amount of weapons and ammunition that you can find there.

Heck, thanks to breaching the police station early on in one run (and beating the super zombie) I was able to fight off the mob on my second time ever encountering them, and with only a single casualty, too (Shinpachi, who had been the hero of the fight against the mega zombie, doing massive damage to it with a fire axe).

((I've breached it a few times, but I usually wait until my survivors are in the green relationship-wise. It just amuses me it's where all the officers go to die. It's like they're suicidal homing pigeons.))

((Just had to twist the knife, didn't you, game!))

Agreed. Think you can make it until then, Ted? How about you, Tappei?

I agree to Erika's plan. I will be fine, Marko. Although a chance to rest sounds very nice.

In my latest game, Pikachu bashed a zombie's head in with a skip rope. An unmodified, perfectly normal skip rope.

Pikachu is awesome.

H-hey! There was nothing between us, got it?! I only felt bad for him since he and I shared the same occupation and stats...

What do you mean? I'm obviously an 18 21-year old college student, aren't I?

Is it just me, or does that one image look like Erika is drooling at first glance? Because that's the first impression I get every time I look at it.

Haniel /Erika, Randomletters /Tappei, Eboby /Ted, and Sarasha /Marko are going down the east side of the town in a straight line. We start by assaulting the bank.



Why is Erika-chan's movie popular amongst middle-aged man? I don't know, and I suspect you don't want to either.



Yeah, it's always hard to assault banks because there are so few windows, but we did a decent job of it regardless.



Since zombies got into our warehouse in the hour that we were away, we have to waste time re-breaching it after our assault. That's another reason to use barricades, I guess?



GODDAMNIT TAPPEI

STOP BEING A BITCH TO EVERYBODY



Yeah, Tappei and Ted are both exhausted at this point, but since you said to send them to the hotel only after searching the last house, I send them breaching instead.



They're fighting surprisingly well for people who are asleep.



You can't see it, but they're still sleepwalking.



See how Erika read some books in the library? That gave her +1 Smarter. If a librarian had been there, it would've been +3 Smarter.

OMG LIBRARIANS ARE THE BEST CLASS.

And uh oh. Looks like the chopper is going to arrive in exactly 12 hours. And you STILL haven't got the radio.



And one snack left.

The radio has to be in the hospital, the police station, the diner, or the school. You've searched everywhere else. Only four buildings left, people, you can do this!



At least your relationships are all nice and green now. :)

Shit, shit, shit! Twelve hours!?

Let's breach-search the hospital, and then the police station. I don't think we have time to assault!

Let's take a second turn searching the police station, and take the best weapons possible. Then we'll split up; Tappei and I will breach-search the school, and Marko and Ted can go breach-search the restaurant. Then we'll reconvene and breach the University together, and then barricade and trap it!

Obviously, if we find the radio in the hospital or the police station, after finding it we should immediately go straight to the university and begin barricading-trapping it.

I agree with this plan. We need to hurry.

((There's not going to be a radio anywhere in town. The game couldn't handle putting a radio and a lesbian cyber-shark in the same town.))

Actually, wait. That police station's going to be extremely problematic, going off of what other people are saying. We should, at the very least, assault that once before entering. To compensate, let's cut out the second turn of searching that I proposed. What are everyone's default actions, again?

Haniel/Erika is searching.
Eboby/Ted is watching.
Randomletters/Tappei is cooking, and cleaning corpses if there aren't ingredients.
Sarasha/Marko is cleaning corpses.

Oh, and most of you seem to have found your way there already, but go check out Mary's Ozzo's narrative LP of Zafehouse: Diaries using Scooby Doo characters! He's put a lot of thought and effort into this and it really shows!

Tappei, I think you should switch to watching, Ted to patrolling. and Marko to searching. However, at the police station, I think everyone but Tappei should search, and Tappei should continue watching during the one turn we're there.

OH EM FUCKING GEE. WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS WAS A THING? *goes to read the LP*

Awww, thanks, Ana! I mean...

We're friends! Yay! Let's play together!

This course of action is fine with me.

: You got it, boss.

By the way, can I sign up for my second round?

IIRC, the rules are that you can start signing up for second rounds as soon as the round you are currently in ends, so you may have to wait a bit.

Alright, thanks.

Audience members, I am so very disappointed in each and every one of you. If you've been paying attention at all to previous runs, you'll know that the hospital is a fucking death trap, and you let Mahou Tantei Erika-chan walk right into it without a single assault? For shame.

Just kidding, I'm incredibly proud of y'all.



So proud.

Seriously, folks, even the group with the freaking musician managed to do better than this.

Haniel, JohnStargazer, Randomletters, Eboby, Sarasha, whenever you see my avatar from now on, no matter what it is, just mentally replace it with this:

Sweet, delicious schadenfreude~♪

Looks like you can sign up for your next round now, Haniel~

You're now on the waitlist! :D
