Mel showing up at his door brings a small and brief little curl of his lips, almost a smile but not quite. In a matter of seconds, Sarge is poking his head out the door from beside his friend, giving a happy bark at the girl. Zach scuffs at the dog's ears fondly and thoughtfully. Alexa is asking him if he wants to hang out. Offering to go to the arcade and just mess around. It makes him feel nostalgic. Otto imagines just going out and chilling with Mel like old times. The years haven't been kind to their relationship with the differences in school years now, and Lord knows he's going to jump at the chance to hang with his childhood friend. It makes his heart happy. Not to mention it might make the perfect opportunity to slip her the thing he got for her. He's been waiting for this very day just to do so. Otto tries to appear casual and not embarrass himself in front of her when really he wants to nosedive straight into the proposal. Okay, just act cool, he coaches himself, "Sure. I don't have any plans today." Nailed it. Mentally high-fiving himself, he bends down and relieves the backpack at his feet of a few things, "Happy Birthday, by the way. You're getting to be an old lady now." He quips as he stands back up, grinning wickedly and stepping out to shut the door behind him.

The bites alone won't turn you unless you die from the bite via infection or bloodloss or whatevs, but the group obviously doesn't know this yet. As for what everyone is gonna do, that's totally up to you guys and what you want your characters to do. I imagine the time spent waiting in the gym would be a good time for everyone to interact, establish relationships, amd generally just let the group get to know who they are going to be working with

I thought about doing that for this thread but I'm kinda on the fence about it. If you guys think it's a good idea though then that can totally be a thing

(Ev tripping over everything is relatable asf)
Otto barely registers two more people entering the gym, barely even flinching as one crashes in like a wrecking ball. They could've be one of those... Things, and he wouldn't have noticed at all. Luckily for him, the two others coming into the gymnasium are the familiar faces of one of his pals and his childhood friend. He doesn't register that either, too absorbed in his own self-pity to really think about anything else but the carnage he saw in the halls and classroom. What brings him out of his little panic trance, is the tight aching in his chest somewhere. Otto sniffles quietly and drags his hands over his face, get a grip, he scolds himself. Wheezing quietly, he digs a hand into his hoodie pocket dor his inhaler and just holds it in his hands. The boy doesn't use it, just continues to fidget around with the medicinal item anxiously while pulling his hood up over his head. Two things he always does when he's upset or nervous, the hood being up is somehow comforting to him and nervous fidgeting being a part of his many quirks. Not even a few seconds later, footsteps come his way. Zach looks up and freezes, "Mel..." He wheezes quietly, gazing at the smaller girl in what is a mixture of disbelief and relief. They haven't seen each other in... A long time. And goddamn he's happy to see her comfortingly familiar features now. Focusing on the face of Alexa, Otto can see the distress on it clear enough. Breath hitching again with the promise of more sobbing, he reaches his free hand out to her and quietly pleads with his pale eyes. Cry with me please, they beg, we both need a good cry session here.

Have you ever been so tired that you look over your replies and see so many typos but your just like. Too lazy and tired to fix them all

Rolling his eyes fondly at the girl squealing in apparent joy at his response, Otto can't help but snort in laughter at the little fist-clap thing she does when she's excited. He always thought it was an adorable quirk ever since they were wee cabbages, "Hell yeah I'm old. My body is like a temple, Mel, ancient and crumbling. Probably cursed or haunted." He plays along casually, digging his hands into his pockets and striding after her at a swift walk. Despite his refined skills of free running and usually being able to do so without too much trouble, Otto's respiratory issues leave much to be desired when it comes to running. Especially on humid days. Hes silently appreciative of Mel slowing to his pace. He knows she isn't one for patience. He admittedly feels a bit bad about it. Thankfully though, long legs eat up distance rather quickly, "Okay but if I ran, I'd totally best you there no sweat." He retorts back, giving her a playful sideye, "Or die, that too." Being an asthmatic kid sucks massive ass but Zach finds it amusing to poke fun at himself for it and exaggerate about it.

I think I'm gonna discard the everybody is infected thing not only to avoid similarities to TWD but also because having people come back no matter how they die seems a bit overkill considering how absolutely OP the zombies are
-
Although to anyone else the questions might sound a bit personal, they are subtle enough to go right over Otto's head. While Mel tells him all about how she is and what she's been doing, he in turn rambles off about his life and all that's been going on with it when prompted. He tells her irrelevant little things; whining about how he messed up an ankle two weeks ago while free running with Ross, complaining that he had to get a new phone last week because he broke the screen of his old one, going off about taking Sarge to a vet appointment for a check up just a few days ago, groaning about the stupid essay he'll turn in on Monday. He completely spills the beans about his relationship status, stating that he and some girl in his class named Alyssa broke up last week for some untold reason. His tone implies he's still sore about it and he hasn't been seeing anyone else recently. When they reach the arcade, it's almost exactly like old times. Just messing around like idiots and occasionally bickering over stupid things. When they reach the famous claw machine, Zach snorts at the bet, "I'll take that bet."

I would join, but werewolves aren't really my thing and I'm not familiar with the reference material at all. Sorry! ;-;
If we do a posting order, maybe it could go in the order that everybody posted in the beginning; Me, Fawna, Evengaline, KitKat, Whispering Wind, Bluedreamer???

The apocalypse is now. The dead come alive. They roam the streets, destroying everything in their path. Chaos is everywhere and order is lost, cities will fall into ruins and blood already stains the ground. Nobody seems to have survived the outbreak. But among the rubble, up from the ashes, a small group of kids from highschool - teenagers - survived the first waves of the outbreak by holing up in their school's gymnasium. What happens next depends on them.
PLOT
A group of teenagers barricade themselves in a highschool gym in order to wait out the start of the outbreak. The roleplay will take place at the very start of the apocalypse, beginning with the group of teens running for the gym while zombies tear their classmates apart. A day passes, they emerge from the gym and agree to go get their backpacks, scavenge the school, and get the heck out of dodge while the going is good. The rest is open for plotting.

THE BASICS
Name: Otto Zachary Colburn
Nicknames: Zach, Zachy, or Zachary. Only friends can call him by Zach or Zachary and only uber close friends get to call him Zachy
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him/his
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Description: Standing at a surprising 6'0" with dark hair and vivid eyes, Otto might fit the description of "tall, dark, handsome" in some people's eyes. He's moderately thin in stature but with lightly toned musculature, he's got a durable streamlined physique. Contrasting to his black hair, his eyes are an enticing blue-green color. His skin is pale and smooth, nicked with a couple small scars on his knuckles likely from squabbles with other kids before the apocalypse
Personality: A bit of a drifter but not exactly a loner, Otto is a free spirit that goes where he wants when he wants and for whatever reason he wants. Some may see him as kind of an annoying troublemaker because of his seemingly rebellious attitude of doing whatever he pleases, but this boy carries a complex inner mind and a lonely soul within. He likes to make it clear that he is not some pretty boy that needs to be protected and coddled, which is a common mistake to make as he is relatively thin and may look fragile at a glance. He's actually quite durable, physically and mentally, and occasionally breaks out of his quiet shell to show his more dominant combative side.
Skillset: Despite his respiratory issues, Otto regularly practiced parkour and as such he is very agile and swift, capable of executing some fancy foot work and hit-and-run tactics. His stealthiness ess is excellent paired with his parkour skills, Otto is capable of free running without making much noise and he can slip in and out of difficult places with ease. His stamina and durability are nothing to sneeze at, Otto can work for quite awhile without tiring considering his asthma and he can take an average beating but these two skills are nothing special. However his physical strength is lacking and his charisma skills need quite a bit of work, he is by no means a powerhouse or wordsmith
Sexuality: Bisexual
Orientation: Biromantic
SUPPLIES
Clothing: Form-fitting white T-shirt, patternless gray hoodie. Faded blue jeans, worn white sneakers. Fingerless gloves, patternless black bandana around his neck
Weaponry: Baseball bat to start with
Backpack: A lightweight backpack, decently sized and perfect for scavenging. It can be worn on the back or over one shoulder
Item(s): Otto doesn't have much, however he always carries his inhaler with him
ATTACHMENTS
Interest(s): None / open, PM me!
Family: Fritz Colburn (father) and Lauren Colburn (mother), both are presumably deceased
Pets: German Shepherd, male, named Sarge. The dog will eventually find the group
OPTIONAL DETAILS
Faceclaim: N/A
Voiceclaim: Tom Holland
Aroma: Odd scent of waterlilies, them things smell awesome
Headcanons:
- Asthmatic
- Dog person
- Cats are meh
- "Don't die."
- Godawful singer
- Hates bugs
- Takes his inhaler everywhere
- Despises smoking
- "Don't be dumb. Being dumb is my job."

Evengaline Good to see you here, Even. Saved a spot for you!
marcola Thanks for tracking! Spot saved on the list for you
celestia Ayy my Aaric buddy good to see ya!!! Marked a spot for you
ShatteredDimensions Even though he's heavily wip, I love him already especially as someone who grew up with a sight-impaired sibling too ^^
-
There's five male characters as of now (Evengaline, Marcola, Fawna, ShatteredDimensions, and myself) so I'd prefer if the other five were not, but it doesn't have to be a perfectly even ratio so having a 6 boys - 4 girls balance is fine considering it's only one more boy than there are girls. However there's only one character allowed per person for now
Evengaline celestia Adding them to the list!
