Welcome to Gaia! ::

True to her word, Monica had set out to do a supply run the moment she was cleared to do so.

It'd been a long time since she'd been out here, and she had to admit she was a little surprised - the place was a lot emptier than she remembered. She'd expected it to be crawling with infected...instead, the place seemed strangely devoid of life. From what she knew they could come from anywhere, though, so Monica didn't stop for a moment.

She was super glad she hadn't brought Corgi on this expedition. This place was super eerie, and he was likely to be bouncing off the walls whenever he had the opportunity. It was all the excitement.

But you had to focus on what was important, which was water. Monica's throat was already aching for it: the water bottle she'd drunk had not been nearly enough to sate her. Of course, this water was supposed to be for the prison as a whole. But having it would mean that Monica might have an easier time later, Right?

The first place she thought to check was the drug store. And sure, she felt at least a little guilty looting, but it wasn't like the store was manned anymore. Fortunately for Monica and the prison it was a veritable jackpot when it came to water availability. She grabbed five bottles and made a run for it. There was sure to be infected everywhere, and she did not want to be a sitting duck.

She went for a really giant building next. The better to hide, right?

The problem with this, she found, was that there wasn't any electricity here. Right - it wasn't like she was still in her base. That only meant she had to work faster, though, right?

Actually, the place looked pretty solid. There were rows and rows of shelves. It used to be a wholesale food store, Monica realized. But most of it had been picked clean through by cleverer scavengers than she. Or perhaps just quicker ones. She was able to notice a stash of water bottles, though, and she grabbed them gleefully.

Now she just had to travel back to Apple. Uh oh.

Water total: 10? lol will ask gms

Monica breathed hard. She'd never expected to get caught alone, and even though she knew you couldn't be infected by cuts, she was still reluctant to engage in skin-to-skin contact with this thing. Maybe she could use...that board over there? She dashed over to grab it and then bash the infected with it, but it was surprisingly faster than it looked.

Or maybe she just had to stop thinking of it as a zombie.

Infected HP: 1/5

Ohhhh yes. It was time to run. Monica bent down to scoop up all of her bottles of water, and then booked it for the two blocks into the prison. It was all she could do to locate the entrance and scurry inside.

With all ten pieces of loot still intact. Oh yeah - good going, self, she thought. That'd been a close call. She set her new supplies down and headed over to report them.
