IC-SWORD-Horror Movie(Zoe/Katarina/Mei Ling)

The survivors from the T-Bone flee for the safety of Warren Air Force Base, while a lone woman struggles against all odds to stay alive in a very dangerous place. A small group of survivors races across Nebraska in a pickup truck. The helicopter group arrives in Omaha in a last ditch effort to save the world, but time is running out. Z-Day seems to last forever, but it will come to an end. The sun is getting lower, and night is coming...

In the movie studio-
Katarina picked out a little black dress from the rack and slipped it on while Mutt and Jeff picked up Zoe from the floor, Mutt grabbing her under her arms while Jeff held her legs.

"You take her back to cell?" asked Katarina.

"No, we need to find out how she and the other girl got out first," said Mutt. "Otherwise she could just escape again. The Chinese bitch ain't talking, so that leaves this one." He and Jeff carried Zoe over to the dungeon movie set and placed her on the rack.

"Please not to hurt Zoe!"

Mutt tied a leather strap that was attached to a roller on one end around Zoe's wrists, making sure they were bound tightly. "Relax. She's a smart girl, and she'll tell us what we need to know. This is just to keep her from going anywhere - and to scare her a little. Do you know how they got out, Katarina?" The girl just shrugged. "Jeff, you'll have to sort it all out while Katarina and I go down to the medical lab."

"Sure thing," said Jeff. He latched a pair of manacles at the other end of the rack, one at each corner, around Zoe's ankles. "Don't worry, darling, I'll be real gentle with Zoe." He ran his hand slowly up the sleeping girl's leg.

Katarina frowned and slinked over to him, flaunting her dress. "What you want with her? I not sexy enough for you?"

Jeff laughed, scooping her up in his arms and twirling her around. "Baby, you're the hottest girl I ever laid eyes on." He put her down on her feet, kissing her deeply. "All right, go on with Mutt. I'll be waiting for you when you get back." He patted Katarina on the rear.

In the movie studio-
Mutt took Hitch's backpack and belt from Mei Ling's body and put them on on his way out.

"You just going to leave her here?" asked Katarina, looking at the dead woman with sorrow.

"We'll dispose of her later," said Mutt. "For now, yeah, leave her here. Let Zoe see her when she wakes up. Then she'll know we mean business."

Katarina took one last look back at Zoe with her sad eyes before following Mutt out of the room. Jeff followed, flipping a switch and closing the door behind him as he left.

In the movie studio-
The last thing Zoe Gallagher had remembered was Hitch on top of her, leering at and threatening her as he held the chloroformed cloth over her nose and mouth. She had expected him to still be on her when she awoke, or at least that he would still be in the room. What she saw when she managed to pry her eyes open was very different from what she had expected, but no less shocking. Even before she was able to do that, she was vaguely aware of lying on a hard wooden surface. Her arms were behind her head, and she could feel leather tightly binding her wrists together. Her legs were spread, her ankles encircled closely with cold metal. She didn't want to look, but she knew that she had to. As she had feared, she found herself in the medieval dungeon movie set, strapped to the rack. However, she could see nobody else in the studio with her - unless she counted the bloody corpse of Mei Ling. The Chinese girl had been shot once through the heart and twice in the head, and her brains leaked out all over the floor where she lay near the door leading out, which was closed. It was all Zoe could do not to retch.
OOC,[b]Zoe[/b], you're awake now. First, roll Sanity for seeing the mangled body. Sanity loss is 1/1d4+1, so you lose 1 Sanity even if you succeed and 1d4+1 Sanity if you fail. If you lose 5 Sanity, roll Idea. If that roll succeeds, you've gone temporarily insane. If it fails, then you may still act freely - or at least as freely as someone who's tied up can act. Also, roll Listen.

What had those evil brutes done to Mei? Executed. And they had gone and left her lying dead on the floor. Zoe knew she was tied-up in the dungeon, her escape had failed.

OOC,You never rolled for Sanity before rolling your Sanity loss. Roll 1d100. If it's less than or equal to your current Sanity (45), you only lose 1 Sanity point. If it's more, then you'll lose the 4 points you rolled. Either way, you're still in control of yourself. If you want to try to think of a way to escape, roll Idea.

In the movie studio-
Though she was distraught and terrified, Zoe was still able to think straight. The leather strap that secured her arms to the roller at the head of the rack was tight around her wrists, but with effort she might be able to slip a hand loose. She was agile enough that it was possible, but it would probably take time. Once she had a hand free, getting the other one out and opening the manacles securing her ankles would be a piece of cake.

She realized something else: she would have to avoid making too much noise. She didn't know where the skinheads were, but if any of them were nearby and realized she was awake, things could go very badly for her.
OOC,[b]Zoe[/b], roll DEX x 1 if you want to try to slip a hand out of the strap. This gives you a 14% chance. If you fail, you'll still be able to try again in later rounds. If you fail by a small amount, it will still loosen the strap and make future attempts easier.

Zoe tugged and twisted her hands in the straps, nothing seemed to happen and her wrists felt chapped.

In the movie studio-
Zoe's anxiety only made it harder for her to try to slip her bonds. If the skinheads came back and found out she was awake before she could free herself...the thought was almost unbearable. Fortunately, the door remained closed and the studio was deserted...for now.
OOC,[b]Zoe[/b], you may make another DEX x 1 roll now.

In the movie studio-
Zoe was still getting nowhere, and the leather strap pinned her wrists securely together. Her anxiety was threatening to turn into despair and helplessness, and the sight of Mei Ling's corpse was only making it worse.

Zoe quits trying, she is getting herself into a state. Instead she tries to calm down and listens.

In the movie studio-
Zoe tried to calm down, but she couldn't hear anything except the pounding of her heart in her chest. So far she had been left alone, but they wouldn't leave her here forever. Sooner or later, someone would come in. If she were still here and tied up when that happened...They probably wouldn't kill her, or they'd have already done it, but she could think of many other horrible things that they could do to her.

Zoe was a little calmer now, but she was still no closer to getting out of her bonds no matter how much she strained at them.

In the movie studio-
After several minutes of struggling, Zoe finally managed to slip one of her hands free of the leather strap. It chafed her hand as she pulled it out, but she continued through the pain until it was loose. After that it was a simple matter to remove her other hand. Then she sat up and unlatched the manacles about her ankles. She was at last free from her bonds, but she was by no means out of the woods. Looking around, she could see that the studio was just as it had been when she had been chloroformed, except that Mei Ling's body lay near the door, which was the only way out, and nobody else was present. The medieval dungeon movie set she found herself in had other torture machines besides the rack on which she had been tied up, as well as a black coffin. The other two sets were a modern hotel room and a cabin on a ship from the Age of Sail. There were a few movie cameras, microphones, and other equipment around, and the costume racks at the back of the studio held many outfits of various different types. The women's clothes were all sexy and revealing. The smaller sizes of the men's clothing might fit her, but they weren't much better. Leather was very prevalent. Hitch's movie directing "style" was exclusively pornography, and he had a wardrobe geared toward that end.

She must prepare herself for when Mutt or Jeff returned. Zoe skips over to the movie studio door, averting her gaze from Mei's body, and then carefully opens it and leaves the door open; she hopes anyone seeing it would assume she had escaped from the movie studio.
Mr Handy,Next she intends to go back to find a t-shirt and pants.

In the movie studio-
Zoe hurried to the door, still unable to hear anything in the room beyond. She opened the door and saw a big skinhead with an M-16 entering the guard room from the cell block. Luckily, he didn't seem to see her yet. She ducked out of his line of sight. He was heading this way!

No time for dressing. Leaving the door open Zoe sprints back into the movie studio and climbs inside the coffin; leaving the lid ajar so she has an idea of what is happening in the room.
