You wake up and discover an empty city.

It is Chicago on Christmas Eve, 2012. There is no one around. You must try and figure out what's going on while not dying.

I will take five characters at a time. Actions for these characters may be suggested by anyone once we get started, although the original poster will get precedence. I'll do my best to incorporate all actions for a given character, though.

You may submit characters for when the current set buys the farm. A character submitted must have at least the following traits:

Why you overslept this day

Submitted characters will be added to the Waiting List. The character on top will be the first to be added, obviously.


Current Characters:

Spoiler: Victor Sulu (click to show/hide)

Gender : Male
Age : 21
Profession : MMA Teacher.
Description : 6 Ft 4 and extensively muscled. Short black hair , Grey eyes and a Blue tattoo of a tiger on hes back with claw tattoo's running up both arms to the back of hes hands. ( Unique huh. )

Spoiler: Jessica Blanc (click to show/hide)

Gender: Female
Age: 17
Profession: Chemistry Student
Description: Sleek Brown hair that's always kept in a ponytail, long white coat and (Normally) Green and Orange Clothes, deep blue eyes and a blindingly white smile. Jessica's primary course is chemistry, but she's not very good at creating anything useful.
Except  Explosives. Those happen a lot.

Spoiler: Philip Anderson--Now an NPC (click to show/hide)

Male
Age 33
Policeman
Description: Tall and thin, with close cropped brown hair which is starting to recede a bit. His eyes are blue, and he views the world through a watchful squint. He is a pretty nice guy, and generally has a friendly demenor. He takes his job seriously, and works to keep fit despite the long hours in a patrol car. He often jogs, which if I might suggest is probably what he is doing when he notices something is wrong. Since he is on "Administrative Leave" while internal affairs decides if he was justified in using lethal force in a recent shooting. He's kinda depressed about the whole situation and had no reason to get out of bed.

Spoiler: Eric Romani (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Age: 32
Profession: Janitor
Description: Short, greasy brown hair and equally greasy clothing. Almost never caught without a cigarette. And it would probably be best if he didn't hear one more smug line about your fancy degree or cushy IT job, capicé?

Spoiler: Robert Johnson (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Age 22
Profession: Pizza Delivery Guy/History Student
Description: About an average height and quite thin, Robert dark hair is stylishly messy. He is an intelligent guy with a poor work ethic who is generally well liked by the people around him. He makes sure to keep himself aerobically fit and plays a number of sports but he is still a pretty physically weak man.

Spoiler: Adrien Haw (click to show/hide)

Gender: Male
Age: 23
Profession: Vehicle mechanic
Description: Adrien is of average build and slightly taller than the norm. As he works on vehicles he is fit, and has some strength to him. He's single, and, originally being from Vancouver, he recently moved to Chicago to see what life in the States was like. Adrien has a tendancy to get wasted on the weekends.

Why you overslept: A heavy combination of alcohol and pills will do that, Robert is lost, hungover and just really wants to get to his bed.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Perfect! I'll write up the initial situation this afternoon. I'll have more time and less to do then.

Why you overslept this day:  Got piss drunk (and hopefully laid) at chrismas party of friend's.

[Kedly]

I love how many of us overslept because we were piss-ass drunk xD

[Joben]

lol I wonder if everyone pulled out the last reason they overslept in real life.
(I didn't shoot anyone, but I do suffer from mild depression)

Except for mesor. I'm not buying it you bum.

[Kedly]

My character would have overslept because of depression/being a lazy bastard myself if I had gone on past experience =P Mostly lazy bastard =P

[Greenstarfanatic]

Mine's just plain tired. She's resting off her explosive burns, as well.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sorry, Kedly and pisskop. I already chose the five I'm starting with. I'll put you on the waiting list; if someone dies, you can get people. Anyone can suggest actions for anyone, though.

Victor Sulu wakes up in his MMA studio with the girls he was "working out" with, Jamie and Gretchen. The three of them get some warmer clothes on and chat, considering what to do about breakfast, or perhaps brunch--it's about 10. After ten or twelve minutes and most of his second cup of coffee, Victor realises what's been bugging him since he woke up. It's quiet,with the sounds of the Windy City reduced to a breeze whistling across the new snow and the occasional pigeon trying to find a warmer spot.

Jessica Blanc wakes up around the same time, having fallen asleep studying for a math test. She was homeschooled, and her (divorced) mom was brutal about this kind of thing. She wouldn't get the morning off, and her afternoon was only free because her father couldn't meet with them on Christmas proper. She shuffled sleepily into the kitchen and wondered what time it was. Just after ten--WTF? Where was Mom? Jessica turned on the radio to listen to music while she made coffee and eggs, but nothing played but static.

Phillip Anderson woke up sadly. It's horrible, especially since it was Christmastime. Only another week until the hearing. He's late for jogging--three hours late, and he hasn't gotten breakfast yet--but who cares? He's got a free day. He sets out for jogging a bit after 10, and the first thing he notices is the snow, nice and white, almost covering the abandoned cars, doors left open, in both lanes pointing out. The Department's going to be busy today...

Eric Romani awoke suddenly. It took a moment to realize what woke him up--not noise, but silence. He got dressed and wondered what to do.

Robert Johnson slowly woke up. He noticed several other students doing the same. Man, what a wild party. Just imagine what tomorrow will be like. He got up, careful not to disturb the girl sleeping next to him, and tried to find his shoes when he noticed the most conscious students huddled around a HAM radio or something. He slurred a greeting at them, but they didn't respond. After another couple attempts at getting their attention, one of the students looked up and said, "The school's under quarantine. Be quiet, we're trying to listen."

What do these five luckless souls do? They have about two hours left this turn. (I've decided to divide each day into eight three-hour "turns," and each turn into actions as needed.)
