Preamble
So I am a complete newbie to LJ-style RP, and there are a bunch of terms and things that people have gotten used to that are a completely different language to me. This is also my first fandom RP, which means that my grasp on playing other people's characters is a little shaky ( Read more... )

Based on Left 4 Dead 2 canon, Survivors who have come into contact with Infected (including Ellis) may or may not be carriers of what is known as 'Green Flu', the virus thought to be causing the zombification of 99.9% of the United States East coast from which Ellis has arrived. Those who are affected are called the Infected, and come in a ( Read more... )

[The feed comes alive watching Ellis over his shoulder, shaving in the bathroom mirror. There's a framed picture sitting on the sink counter that looks like it could have been straight out of the ending of The Jerk, with Ellis, family and friends sitting on porch steps and goofing off. Ellis himself is whistling cheerfully, belying the bags under ( Read more... )

The feed cuts on but is briefly obscured by a length of sparkly red, white and green garland. Once that passes, the sounds of hammering and jingling and all sorts of decorative verve occupy the audio channel; that is, until thumping hurried feet comes along.

[The wall-mounted unit of room 647 on floor 10 is picking up the activity of a young man in pair of tied down coveralls, currently covered in smears of paint and dry-wall dust. In addition to his usual getup, Ellis is wearing a tool-belt and has a welder's mask (pulled up) strapped to his head in place of his hat. At least he looks like he's bathed ( Read more... )

[The screen is black for the most part, though it's obvious that the video feed is active. There is a sudden rustling of fabric, and then a startled noise:]

What in the name'a?

[It's the sound of a young man's voice, with a distinct southern drawl. There's a slight bit more of shuffling, then a hollow rapping.]Uh... hello? Anybody out there? I ( Read more... )
