Day Fifteen - The Halfway Point

The group were beginning to question their place in society. Between them, they'd killed a total of fourteen people. People who had been just like them prior to the war, living normal lives. Were they any better than the humanitarian aid raiders, or the bandits at the church? Flee went as far as to call himself a "war criminal", and sat on the floor, refusing to move. Ender had to talk to him. Everyone needed a talking to.
Spoiler


Fedorekd went to an abandoned cottage. It was completely empty, and there was a decent amount of stuff there. As soon has he entered, he found a fridge filled to the brim with food and water. Upstairs, he used his crowbar to access a room containing medical supplies. He was surprised no one had claimed this stuff earlier. This stuff was easy, no murder required. Was it really necessary to kill people in order to survive?

Day Sixteen

While Fedorekd was away, Flee had gotten into an argument with the other group members, although they managed to calm him down. On the bright side, everyone's wounds were healing up, and they'd be back up to full strength very soon. Flee built a heater. It was getting cold, and winter was not going to be pleasant.
Spoiler



Flee went to a decrepit squat later. His priority was materials; they needed wood for the heater, as well as more materials to build things. The place was a wreck, which was no surprise. It was a wreck even before the war.
Spoiler

He found a decent amount of materials. Wood, spare parts, electronics. He'd have to come back again when he needed more. When he reached the other side of the building, he met a homeless person, who begged him for food. Unfortunately, Flee had no food on him, so he couldn't help.
Spoiler

Despite telling them that he had no food on him, the beggar continued to follow him as he scavenged materials. This was getting frustrating.
Spoiler

Flee took off all of a sudden, hoping to lose the beggar. He went upstairs, and found a grisly sight. A decomposing corpse sat on an armchair, in a room blocked off by iron bars. Flee studied the scene, but then he heard footsteps. The beggar knew where he was.
Spoiler

Flee decided to leave the place. He was carrying as much as he could, anyway. The beggar would probably die by the time he returned.

Day Seventeen

Another raid had happened. The group managed to chase the raiders off, but not before Carson and Ender were injured yet again. They only had one set of bandages, which went to Carson. Ender would go to the hospital tonight.
Spoiler

At the hospital, Ender received some treatment. It wasn't enough, but it helped. One of the guards asked Ender for help. There had been another shelling, and some supplies were lost. He asked Ender to return any supplies she found in the rubble. During her search, Ender wasn't able to find any supplies, only materials. She took what she could, and returned home. It was getting cold.
Spoiler



Day Eighteen - Winter is Here

Snow had fallen. Large piles of snow were forming in the front garden. This wasn't entirely a bad thing; they could melt down the snow, clean it and it'd provide a decent source of water. The bad part was how cold it was, but they had a heater to combat that issue. Ender and Fedorekd had completely healed up, and Carson was getting there. There was a knock at the door. A scared woman named Zora wanted their help in boarding up her house from bandits, to protect her daughter. Carson went with her. Things were looking better than they were a few days ago, the group was taking a more positive attitude towards things.
Spoiler


Fedorekd was not happy with this, however. He felt that everyone was needed at home. Despite his personal feelings, he accepted it. Flee and Ender were both on board, and even Ender showed a sign of happiness. While cooking dinner, Fedorekd realised that one of the biggest problems was the efficiency of the stove. He had plenty of food, but the group used so many materials to fuel the thing that they weren't able to use them for anything else. Fedorekd decided it was time to upgrade the stove, and he knew where to get the materials.
Spoiler


The decrepit squat was full of spare materials. Even after this supply run, they could still come back for more materials. Fedorekd made sure to bring some food, in case the homeless person was there, and indeed he was. Fedorekd gave the man some food, to the beggar's delight, and in return he was shown to a hidden set a barrels, where Fedorekd found some jewellery. He took the jewellery, thanked the beggar, and left.

Day Nineteen

Thanks to Fedorekd's findings, the group was able to make some improvements to the cooker. They were now able to cook more using less fuel. Hopefully they'd be able to do the same for the heater. Food was beginning to run low, but at the moment, things were okay. Only cold. Very cold.
Spoiler

Flee went to the ruined villa where Ender had previously killed the couple. His priority was more materials, but he was on the lookout for food too. Unfortunately, he found no food, but the place had lots of materials.
Spoiler


Day Twenty

Carson had fallen sick, but they still had several bottles of pills. He'd be better in no time. The trader, Marko, came by again. Fedorekd used the jewellery he'd found to buy several cans of food. The group started thinking about the military outpost on the other side of town, and how they'd go about raiding it. They had also caught word of a brothel run by bandits, where several women had gone missing. They'd have to investigate that at some point.
Spoiler


Tonight, Ender's destination was the construction site again. Her priority was finding supplies, however she was also hoping to perform a small test. In the event that the snipers were still there, she'd say how she could fair against them, with her assault rifle and combat vest. Unfortunately, they weren't there, but they'd left their camps behind. Ender found a great amount of food. She gathered it all up and went back to the house.

Maintaining the place is actually getting a little harder now that winter's here and Carson can't seem to stop being either wounded or sick...

Short, iirc. It's only a 30 day game so didn't  want it being too long.

Day Twenty-One - Carson's Trip to the Brothel

Today, things were looking better. The group was well-stocked with food and materials, and moods were the best they'd been in a long time. Things got even better when Carson was listening to the radio. Peacekeepers were coming, and they'd put an end to the war within the next few days. They just needed to survive those next few days.
Spoiler


Decisions had to be made. Peacekeepers may have been on their way, but the group needed to do their part. During their time here, they'd done many things, good and terrible, and it was time to make up for them. The military outpost and the brothel both needed to go. It was decided that Ender would take on the military, and Carson the brothel. Ender's erratic temper would be dangerous in a situation like the brothel, where innocent lives were being held hostage. Carson would be more rational, and less likely to get the prisoners killed. Whereas Ender was better with a gun, and would probably be able to hold her own against the soldiers. It was decided. Carson packed up and headed for the brothel.
Spoiler

Carson moved cautiously to the front of the brothel, where he was met by a trader. "Might as well make this quick," thought Carson. He pulled out his shotgun and shot the man straight in the chest. The man reeled back, lifting his own gun. Carson got another shot in, killing the man. As that one fell to the ground, another bandit burst in. Carson fired twice, downing him quickly. Two more came. The third one managed to hit Carson in the shoulder before he met his demise. The fourth hit him too, but Carson kept going until the four of them were dead.
Spoiler



It seemed as though no more were coming. Carson entered the house, walking through the hall. A fifth bandit appeared ahead of him. Carson turned, scurrying up the stairs as the man chased him. Carson was too quick. He managed to hide. As the man came rushing past, Carson lodged a knife messily into the back of his neck.
Spoiler


He'd done it. All five of them...dead. He still had one more thing to do, though. He searched the house, trying to find where they were keeping the women. He came to a locked door in the basement, and looked through the keyhole. There they were. God knows how long they'd been held for. Carson picked the lock and freed them. He gathered some supplies, particularly ammunition, before leaving behind him the carnage that had just ensued. Five heavily armed bandits, dead. And he'd come out with simply a scratch.
Spoiler


That was one stronghold down. Thanks to Carson, the group had now done their part to help out a few of their fellow refugees. Now, only one adversary remained, the ones who had been murdering and raping civilians as much as the bandits had: those assholes at the military outpost.

Day Twenty-Two

Carson got his wound patched up and had a well-earned rest. The trader came again. Fedorekd bought some food and materials in exchange for some of the group's spare guns. With some of the materials, he upgraded the workshop, so that they would be able to make some better items at some point, if necessary.
Spoiler



The military outpost was a no-go tonight; the route was blocked off by snow. Instead, Ender went to an abandoned gas station.
Spoiler

The place was a wreck, and she soon found the reason why no one had looted this place. The entrance was blocked by a pile of debris. Ender didn't bring a shovel with her, so she cleared it with her hands.
Spoiler

The interior was more unnerving than it should have been. It was dark, and odd, quiet sounds could be heard. Finding the source of these sounds, Ender was relieved to find out that it was just a pair of rats, scurrying about. Ender gathered up some food and all the materials she could, and went back home.

Day Twenty-Three - Ender vs. The Military

Finally, winter was over. The risk of illness was no longer much of a worry. Surviving should now be easy until the peacekeepers arrive, however long that may be. Some children came to the door, the same ones from a week or so ago. They needed canned food. Their mother was starving. The group had plenty of raw food, but no one could cook at the kids' house; the mother was too weak too. They had to send them away, regretfully.
Spoiler

Carson built himself an armchair to ensure that his final days in the war-torn city were comfortable.
Spoiler

The evening came, and it was time. They'd been waiting for this for a while. The military outpost had to go, and Ender would be the one to make it so. She stocked up on guns, armour and ammunition and left for the outpost. She was greeted by a soldier, who was willing to trade. She declined his offer. The soldier was called by one of his superiors, leaving her alone with the guard keeping lookout. She quietly climbed up to his post and killed him, causing him to fall off.
Spoiler


She heard the trader coming back. She waited in the guard post. He came through, and immediately ran over to his fellow soldier. Aiming downwards, Ender shot him in the back.
Spoiler

Ender climbed down, taking cover inside the entrance building. Another soldier appeared only to be gunned down. A fourth soldier came rushing to the scene. Ender put him down.
Spoiler


Ender went into the first main building. The place was empty, and she was able to find a good amount of food to take back home. She still had more of the place to clear, however.
Spoiler


The back of the building opened up onto an open area, where there stood two guard. Ender took cover, and waited as the first one came closer.
Spoiler

When he was close enough, she opened fire. The first shot didn't kill him, though, and he was able to get a shot in at her. No issue, she could still fight. She took him down with a second shot.
Spoiler

The other guard was alerted, and started running towards her. She kept firing, but then two... no... three more soldiers joined him. She backed away as they all opened fire. Ender started to run, but it was too late. Ender was shot to pieces by all four of the soldiers, leaving a lifeless mess of flesh and bone.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

Day Twenty-Four

When Ender didn't return that day, the group assumed the worse. Taking on the military outpost was a monumental task, and yet they had gone through with it regardless under some false notion of nobility, some desire for redemption. How on Earth was one starving refugee meant to take on an entire outpost of soldiers? The war must have left them deluded.
Spoiler

Ender was a controversial member of the group. She became incredibly volatile as the war went on, resulting in some questionable kills made on scavenging runs. And yet, she was still a competent scavenger. They needed Ender. And after having some thought, there was no way Ender would have gone down without a fight. She must have taken some of those soldiers down with her. They were almost certain she'd put a dent in their defenses. Was that reason to finish the job? Would Ender have wanted her fellow survivors to finish what she started, or would she have hoped that they would just continue surviving, and abandon these silly "heroics"?

Carson went to a hotel for the night. Unfortunately, most of the place was blocked off by debris, some of which he was able to clear with his hands. That took a lot of time, and he wasn't able to gather much. On one of the upper floors, he found that there was a person living here, and it sounded like he had food. The doors were locked though, so he couldn't get to the food. After unsuccessfully trying to find another way around, Carson left with a disappointing haul.

Day Twenty-Five - Finish the Fight

The group was having mixed responses towards Ender's death. Fedorekd was simply glad that it wasn't him. Carson thought about how much harder it would be scavenging without her, with there being less people to guard the house. And Flee blamed himself for her death, seeing it as their duty to protect each other. They only had a few days left until the peacekeepers came. All they had to do was hold out until they arrived.
Spoiler

Flee, overcome with guilt over his friend's death, made a risky decision. He made his way to the military outpost. He needed to confirm that Ender had indeed died there, and he also needed to avenge her death if so, and finish what she died doing.
Spoiler

The front half of the base was empty. The walls were covered in blood and bulletholes. There had clearly been a fight here. If this was Ender's work, she'd done well enough to push the soldiers back into the rear end of the base. Flee made his way through the mess hall, looking around for soldiers. He walked into the courtyard to find exactly what he was looking for. He was staring at Ender's mangled remains, along with her backpack. The bag was almost bursting. He took a look inside, and found a ridiculous amount of food and ammo. Ender had died trying to get this stuff back to the group, and from the looks of her corpse, her final stand hadn't been a fair fight. There were still living soldiers here.
Spoiler

Flee went over to the next building. He could hear movement on the floors above him. He quietly went up to the next floor and hid, waiting for someone to come down. Soon enough, two soldiers came down. They must have heard him, somehow, as they were looking for an intruder. Both stood directly in front of him, but they didn't spot him.
Spoiler


Flee until one of them left. When that happened, he drove his knife into the remaining soldier's head before stabbing him multiple times across the body in anger.
Spoiler

Now he had to get to the other one, which wasn't too hard. He went to the staircase at the back of the building, and spotted the soldier on the floor below him. He should be able to get a shot in. He aimed down at the soldier, who still hadn't spotted him, and pulled the trigger.
Spoiler

He checked the outpost for more soldiers, but didn't find anything. The entire underground section of the base was blocked off, so he couldn't find out if anyone was in there. However, the base had a wealth of supplies, too many for him to carry, so he left, intending to return and collect the rest later on.
Spoiler

Finally, Flee was at ease. Ender's killers were dead, and her supplies had made it to their destination. The next few days should be easy, or at least Flee hoped they would be easy.

Day Twenty-Six

Today was a rather easy day. The trader came by again, and Fedorekd traded a thermometer in exchange for some canned food.
Spoiler


In the evening, Carson went to the outpost. He too found Ender's corpse while he was there, and briefly paid his respects. In the second building, he found six cans of food. This was perfect. They now had more than enough food to survive the next three days or so, as long as no one raided them. Carson went to have a look at the basement. If the group wanted access to it, they'd need a saw to get through the bars. Where they could find one, they didn't know. Perhaps they could make one. Whatever was down there, it must have been valuable for the military. The group definitely wanted to know what it was. Maybe they wouldn't need it. Maybe the peacekeepers would come before they could find out.
