Alvin Drummond,Not everyone in Vietnam was a soldier. There were plenty of civilians around, which added to the confusion of the situation. Even if he does believe [b]Miles[/b] is a soldier, that wouldn't mean he'd attack him. [b]Alvin[/b] can still function relatively normally, much as he did when he was in Vietnam. The only difference is that he thinks he's still there. He would not be going around killing or threatening to kill people he believes to be on his side, even if they piss him off. Doing that in Vietnam would have gotten him court-martialed. [b]Alvin[/b] is a soldier, not a psycho.
Handy,So again do you think I am playing Alvin wrong? I think that he thinks that his bottle is a rifle. I am playing him as a man who is still in Vietnam so he ignores that he is in a school to him this is a camp or sagion or somthing. If you think I am playing him wrong let me know and of course you can always take him as he is your character. Just let me know that as well
Alvin Drummond,The only thing I think you are getting wrong is the way you are misinterpreting his insanity. Most of that has only been in these comments and hasn't spilled over into his actions. What you said in the last comment is perfectly correct. [b]Alvin[/b] would think he's on a American base or in Saigon, but in neither of those locales would he try to kill his fellow Americans. Just because he is insane does not mean that he's about to snap and kill people just because they are near him. You did the same thing with [b]Colin Lewis[/b], who was suffering from a very similar insanity. At least [b]Colin[/b] was down to 1 Sanity at the time and was in a much more stressful situation. I'm not going to take [b]Alvin[/b] away from you. Just try to have him act the way he really would have acted in Vietnam.
In the security office-
"That's John Lee," said Megan. "He came to the school about an hour or so ago. Why are you looking for him?"
"He's a person of interest in a homicide that took place early this morning in Cheyenne," said Ann O'Neill. "We'd like to ask him some questions."
"Well, he's in the cafeteria, eating supper, along with most everybody else."
Alvin said, "Sir I must escort you. Charlie can be anywhere you know. Just like last year during the Tet Offensive. Follow me, if you see me go down then hit the dirt."
Gretchen replied; "There's no need Megan, in-light of these facts I think you are quite right in detaining him here. At least he should be safe. I would suggest finding a firearm or at the very least a weapon. This EMP device has worked once but as for the range and if these things are down for good is another matter."
Gretchen turns to Alvin placating to his delusion "Lets head for some 'chow' Alvin. I'll take tail-man charlie and you go point. Look alive marine, I need to see the principal."
OoC,[b]Gretchen [/b]will go to the canteen with [b]Alvin [/b]and see the principal.
In the security office-
"You can't just leave me here!" protested Kyle.
"Really, I'd feel much better if you took him off our hands," said Megan as Gretchen, John Lake, Ann O'Neill, and Miles Graham followed Alvin and Murray out.
In the lobby- Dr. Singh almost bumped right into Alvin as he exited the security office. The two men got in each other's way for a moment until the group of people exiting the security office got around them. Rashad Sadiq remained in the lobby.
In the north hall, ground floor- John Lee raced along the hall. There were single and then double doors on both sides of the hall. At the far end stood a thicker, metal door.
Dr. Singh straightens his coat after his collision with Alvin. He was about to launch into a tirade about the necessities of observation in a time of crisis, when he noticed the government agents.
"Ah! Greetings. You must be the government officials. I am Dr. Edward Singh, with the CDC, and I am very, very glad to see you."
John Lee moves quickly towards the back exit. He cuts across the hall, not trying too be quiet. He knew he had the evidence, they wanted to stop him from showing the world, if that was possible what was on his disc.
In the security office-
"I wonder what's going on out there?" said Megan, hearing the commotion out in the lobby.
In the lobby- Jerry Law entered the lobby from the east hall. He was followed shortly by Stephanie Bridges, Adam Donnelly, Chester Johnson, Michiko Watanabe, and Elijah Smith. There they saw the two men and two women in suits, as well as Alvin and Murray.
"Where is that suspicous-looking man going?" said Miles Graham, motioning at Rashad. He and Ann O'Neill, the redhead in the black suit, moved around the corner to the north hall quickly, leaving Dr. Singh, Alvin, Murray, Gretchen Ehrlich, and John Lake in the lobby with the others.
In the north hall, ground floor-
As John Lee pushed through the door at the end of the hall, Rashad entered, followed by Ann and Miles.
In the north stairwell, ground floor- John Lee found himself in a stairwell, with stairs going both up and down. The stairs down led into complete darkness; he recalled that there was no electricity in the building due to the EMPs. There was also a fire exit directly ahead of him, leading behind the school.
John Lee,[b]John[/b] recognized the two agents in black suits who had followed him into the hall. He would have known them anywhere. They were the pair who had shot the old Chinese man dead back in Cheyenne!
Dun dun dun... :twisted:
"But wai... Damn it. I was hoping for government officials, not glorified police officers." mutters Dr. Edward Singh, as the two suited figures rush off after Rashad.
"Ah. Miss Bridges. I am afraid that those people were not the authorities I had hoped for them to be. They seem to be law enforcement of some sort. Chasing after some mad killer. As if we did not have enough insanity around here to begin with."
