Medical Knowledge/Ability: Took a CPR course a long time ago, but barely remembers anything within the class.

Personality: Tries to be easy and laid back. Riley believes that if something can be done one way easier than another way harder, than the easier path should be chosen all the time. He can be extremely sarcastic, especially when he is angry or depressed. He believes it is better to make a joke of your situation rather than mope about it all the time. Shy at first, and almost business-like for the getting-to-know-someone period, Riley tends to open up with time. There, he will crack jokes almost on a regular basis, and if something doesn’t need to be serious, than he isn’t. However, Riley can see through many problems to make to the solution on the other side, and prefers to hear all sides before choosing an answer. He is logical, sensible, and also a jokester. If he has a chance to pull a joke on you, or hit you with a ‘Burn’ he will usually take it unless the situation calls for seriousness.
Things that peeve you about people: Complaining, Mr/Mrs. High Almighty attitude, takes him for granted, and people who don’t do the work when it is needed.
Things you like about people: Responsible, friendly, can see the humour in things, dependable, and trustworthy.
First thing you notice about someone physically: Hair or body
First thing you notice about someone's personality: Humour

Where would you be at 8 o'clock on a cool November night in Chicago?: Taking in the sights, driving around the town.

Personality:
When properly motivated, I am a diligent and efficient worker; when not motivated, procrastination often changes my priorities. My problem-solving methods can come off as cold since it lacks significant human emotion in most instances, but that is not to say that I am immune to compassion should the factors permit such actions. I am not quick to become stressed or angry, but when several things start to go awry, it is likely that I’ll start to fray around the edges and will need time to gather my composure to avoid making careless decisions.

[YenWen]

Things that peeve you about people:
-Nail Biters

Out of curiosity, when you say 'Nail Biters' are you being literal or figurative? Because I do have the worst nail-biting habit XD

[Loki]

Literal.

That habit will likely drive my character crazy.

[YenWen]

Literal.

That habit will likely drive my character crazy.

Well, shiznit. I believe we have an inner conflict :3
My nails are so bitten down, you can see some of the skin beneath my nail :/

[Eternity]

Before we start, I wanted to bring up one last thing. I would *like* to attempt this all in first person writing, while stating your name at the like so demonstrated:

Arianne

We were settled in the room, Ben and I, the TV a dull hum in the background where we could listen about the oncoming Quarantine. It had been a week since it had happened, the Black Flu...

Let's all get a group okay with this and I can open up the IC. I thought it would put everyone more in the feel of writing as themselves. :3

[YenWen]

I've only done first-person writing in journal, but I'm sure it shouldn't be too bad. I'm good with that, and ready whenever the go is given.

[Loki]

It may take a little getting used to, but I'm up for it.

[quakernuts]

I guess I'm up to it, but don't be surprised if I accidentally switch to third person.

[Eternity]

I will be totally understanding if you switch in and out, it does take a little time to get used to, but I thought it would actually help put everyone into the feel of themselves for this

[Harper]

I am absolutely up to and love to write in first person. Count me in, this should be fun.

[Eternity]

I know Riekon is up for it, so let's just get this thing on the roll. Now Rie won't be back til I think Friday or Saturday. But he can join in when he returns, no big problem. :3

I'll try to throw this up soon.

[Eternity]

Eternity's "Undivine Comedy" IC

Just basically introduce yourselves, and we'll work on it from there. We will all be meeting at a place called the Hills Plaza where some will be looking for food, others can be searching a Rite Aid for medical supplies, or even local stores along the plaza for clothes, books, or weapons.

[Eternity]

great starting posts thus far

[YenWen]

Excitement, excitement!

[quakernuts]

Alright, posted! There you go, me in my awesome "I got scared shitless" moment. ^^

[Harper]

Okay, I'm back from Colorado and I posted. I'm sorry if you guys didn't want me to, but I described the plaza since no one had at that point. I didn't mention whether or not your character made it to the plaza Quakernuts, I don't know where you wanna place him and I don't want to do more than use your scene as a time reference and a reason as to why I'm heading to the hills (pun intended). The headlights I mentioned at the end were Ben and Arie's, I figured to use it as a point of reference as well.

[Eternity]

it's cool

Also, I plan on posting soon. Everyone look around at your own pace, bump into one or two if you like, and we'll all meet up in the parking lot afterward where we'll encounter our first special zombie!

[YenWen]

Alright, sorry I haven't posted, and I honestly am trying, but for one thing, I'm having more than a bit of writer's block with this, and second, when I actually do get an idea and get back into the groove, the scene is switched around, despite already giving a description the place in question. So, all in all, right now, I haven't an idea what to do, so if you all want to go on without me, be my guest, seeing as I haven't really anything extra to contribute as of now.

[Harper]

I'm going to phrase this lightly, but is this RP taking a break? Just curious as to whether you guys want to keep this going :/

[quakernuts]

Well I'm still interested in this, but I think we're waiting on either Loki or Eternity to post sooooooo....
