IC-Alone Against the Flames(Dave only)

The dead have begun to rise, but they are not the only problem. A small group of survivors at a truck stop in southwestern Nebraska must contend not only with zombies, but with internal division, a nearby group of heavily-armed skinhead survivalists, and even more horrifying dangers. Can they overcome their differences and survive, or will they join the ranks of the living dead?

In the reception area-
Beyond the reception area was a short hallway with two doors on the left, two on the right, and one at the back. Which door did Dave want to try first?

Dave watches over all doors once to check which one is closed and which is opened, then head for the first door to left.

10:29 AM
In the short hallway-
Dave saw that the nearer doors on both sides of the hall were open, as was the door at the end of the hall, but the far left and far right doors were closed. The far right door was also made of metal, unlike the other doors, which were wooden. Dave went through the first door on the left.

In the dining hall-
Dave found himself in a large dining hall with a kitchen area. Long tables with benches on both sides filled most of the room. The kitchen area on the right side of the hall had a series of ovens and sinks, as well as a refrigerator, from which a terrible smell emanated. There were pots and pans, along with other utensils for cooking and preparing meals and steel plates for serving them. There was also a door at the back of the kitchen area.

Dave picks something to eat and then went ahead to check on the terrible smell.

In the dining hall-
There was no food visible, so Dave opened the refrigerator to check on the terrible smell and see if any food was inside - and immediately wished he hadn't. Inside the fridge, an old Westinghouse model, was a lot of food that had been rotten over half a century ago. With the fridge open, the odor was overwhelming.

Dave tries to cover his nose to save himself from that odor.

10:31 AM
In the dining hall-
Dave managed to avoid losing his breakfast and quickly slammed the fridge door shut to reduce - but not eliminate - the horrible stench. There was clearly no edible food in this room.

Dave reaches the back of the kitchen area to check what is behind a door.

In the storeroom-
The room beyond the door did contain food supplies, and lots of them, in stacks upon stacks of cans. However, they were just as old as the food in the fridge. The most recent expiration date that he could see was September 20, 1961.

Dave searches for oil cans, firestarters, cloths, cotton and weapons among storage before moving out of the storeroom and then out of the kitchen.

10:33 AM
In the storeroom-
There was no sign of any of the things Dave sought in here. It was only used to store canned food, and an awful lot of it. He left the room and returned through the kitchen to the short hall.

In the short hall-
Dave emerged from the kitchen into the hall. Through the doorway on the opposite side of the hall, he could see some military-style bunks with footlockers at their bases. There were two more doors on either side of the hall further down, and one at the end of the hall. It was through this door that he could now hear a woman's terrified screams.

Dave really wanted to check those footlockers, he thinks he will come back to it later. AS He hears screams from the end of the hall, he checks wrench in his hand and heads for door at the end of the hall, being cautious he tries to peek through the door if it is open while taking cover.

10:34 AM
In the short hall-
Dave opened the door to the guard room and saw a gorgeous young blonde woman wearing the flimsiest of lingerie running toward him through what looked like a guard room, screaming in terror. Behind her, through an open doorway, two rats pursued her...rats with red eyes!

OOC,

Dave will try to identify a woman running towards him if she is running towards him. he will wait for her to get past the doorway and shut the door on both rats. if they already go past the door along with woman, or if rats have already spotted dave then he will make run for kitchen and a shut door behind but not before also directing the woman to follow him inside the kitchen. if run for the kitchen is not possible he will swing the wrench in hand on the nearest rat possibly aiming his head while defending his body with a toolkit on the other hand.

In the short hall-
The woman ran through the door and into the hall past Dave, who then slammed the door on the rats. They scratched at the door, but they could make no headway against it because it was made of metal. The woman kept screaming and ran into the reception area.

In the reception area-
Dave returned to the reception area in time to see the woman keep running up the corridor that led to the gate through which he had passed earlier. She was still screaming her head off.
