There was a light shower of sparks as a door swung open and Stila lifted the extinguisher in her hands, ready to smash her way through any more disjointed bodies, but the hallway was empty. A sudden roar sounded from above--and she knew those were not from the helicopters.

"Come on!" she screamed above the approaching din, "Up's out!" Scrambling out into the empty hallway just as the animated corpses, she made for an adjacent stairwell and scampered back down.

"Where do--" she slammed the end of the extinguisher into a body, "they--" and another, "come from!" The third body fell and Stila pulled the pin of the extinguisher to empty half its contents on the fourth.

“Ella Jean? Hot damn, I used to have your picture on my school lunch boxes!” Mercy gushed, “I’m Mercy, and this is… Kenyiro No-English.”

Something upstairs made a ruckus and soon the Texan saw exactly what it was. Some redneck with a chainsaw and his lady friend with a fire extinguisher had just fended off some of the infected.

They made it clear that the roof was no longer an option, Mercy remembered that her travel agent had told her that the Civil Emergency and Defense Agency would be a safe place to go if things get out of hand, “Var’mits are all on the roof! We all need to get ourselves a vehicle and head to CEDA up north. Any of ya’ll know if there’s a garage in this hotel?”

He comprehended that this Ella Jean was the same girl in the posters on the lobby’s walls, but the Japanese said nothing. With the introduction of two additional members to their group, a change of plan seemed to be brewing. Something about cedar? Is that a hotel suite?

The sound of grating footsteps and whining roars from overhead indicated that advancing to the roof may be unsafe from so close to ground level. Then he heard American girl say ‘Garage’ and understood where that was.

“Down?” he suggested, hinting to an elevator shaft, this one led him directly to the carpark before.

“My Limo!” Ella shouted, “Hope that elevator’s working!”

Pressing the button and hearing an immediate ‘ding’ Ella rushed in and urged the others of the group to do the same before more crazies hit them. She thought it was probably a good idea if they stuck together. As soon as they reached the basement, the multi-talented actress grabbed a pink swarovski crystal encrusted key and fob from the valet rack.

“I’m not driving… who’s driving?”

Being from backcountry, Hank had been listening to Ella Jean’s music since he was a tyke. He’d hoped to see her perform live here too, but ticket purchasing was always beyond his understanding. And the Bayou way was that if there weren’t no way to understand it, you don’t do it at all.

Next to her was an All-American pan-holding princess and a Chinaman that looked like he hopped out of a kung-fu movie. They must all be famous.

“Gosh, Ella Jean,” he whispered a little to the medic lady while they were in the elevator, “her music speaks to my soul.”

When they got down, he was suddenly interested in the sparkling key to Miss Jean’s ride.

“I can drive,” he replied to Ella Jean, “A limo’s like a normal car? Chinaman can shotgun, cuz his kind drives on the other side like yo, he all’s used to that.”

Pushed along by Hank, Stila relinquished the trusty fire extinguisher and scampered into the limousine after a Texan lilt and a blonde she recognised as Ella Jean. Key in ignition, the vehicle rumbled to life and wended out of the garage.

"Pontchartrain!" Stila called out Hank, "CEDA set up a base at the N'Orleans Arena. It was still functional when I checked in last night."

As she spoke, she undid the straps that had bound her kit to her and looked at the two women seated nearby, "I have the vaccinations." Breaking a vacuum seal, she extracted a prefilled syringe, "Who's first?"

“Me!” Mercy stuck out her arm for the vaccine, seeing as she was sitting right next to the doctor-scientist-lady.

Relieved that she was now safe from the infection, Mercy searched for items to fortify the limo. Under her seat she found a strange metal box with several semi-automatic pistols and accompanying ammunition.

“Guess we’ll be needing these.” She passed the firearms to each able member of the team, “Try and conserve the ammo, we don’t know how many of them infected we’ll see.”

Standing, she peered out of the limousine’s skylight. Luckily the road ahead was relatively clear.

It was illegal among some Samurai sectors to sheath a bloody Wakizashi. Dakamura followed tradition at the expense of his suit. In the elevator, he took off his jacket, used the inner lining of silk to wipe the weapon clean, and placed it back into its covering.

Next, he wasn’t too keen about being called ‘Chinaman’, but being in New Orleans meant adjusting to the strangest things like alligator meat and people who look like they were always in need of better hygiene.

Keniryo nodded at ‘Shotgun’ and took a seat next to the driver.

Then needles were presented and the women received their shots, Dakamura wondered briefly on what it was before he was asked to give his arm. After receiving the vaccine, he was given a needle to administer a dose to the redneck.

Military helicopters flew overhead, foreshadowing future events. He was in this country as a diplomat from Osaka, at the juncture, he was likely going to be sent back to Japan without much fuss.

Ella never really worried that anything bad was going to happen. Famous people didn’t die like this anyway, but she was glad these people made her life easier. It was like an ensemble cast with her as the star, just the way life should be.

“Hey, why are we slowing down?” she asked aloud, but was soon answered when she saw some hunky looking army men tap the glass, “We’re saved!”

Despite not getting the jelly doughnut this morning, Ella thought everything else couldn’t have gone better. How could she ever think of publishing her autobiography so soon? Obviously it has to be pulled off the shelves now that she could add a zombie survival chapter to it.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
