The room you are in (changing area/lockers area of the showers room) is barren....you search the lockers but find nothing the previous search didn't yield. To your west is the door to the showers room entry area. The sounds of Tanner tapping on the door within that room remain, and you can now hear the quiet shambling of flesh against tile coming from beyond the door leading to the shower cubicles/baths.

OOC: The door leading into the showers room entry area(as marked on the map as west of your current location) is unlocked and easily accessible, and the way back is barred. The current room section(changing area/lockers area) is barren. Your move.

"I think we're gona have to open this door.
Bundy, you've still got your gun, right?
So you & me provide cover while Coleman takes point, MWAHAHAHA!!!!!"

"I also think we ought to take a closer look at Charlie when we get back to the dorm......"

Prepping your newfound "friend" lucy once more, you steady your hand on the door leading into the showers room entry area. Yanking it open, you are greeted with the sight of an empty room, save for a desk in one corner. A metal desk chair has been propped up tightly against the door handle. The room is also thankfully well lit.

On the desk is a lamp which is currently on, along with the latest issue of pet homes & catnip gardens.

The tapping you heard earlier is now very clear.....and you can hear Tanner saying something about wanting to get in to take a bath or some such.

"I'm coming....hold your horses." you grunt in reply as you remove the chair blocking the door leading between the showers room and Bunkroom. As you do so, Tanner(who was on the other side) nearly tumbles into the room with you. As he regains his composure he begins to head further into the showers room when you stop him.

"Ey, what are you on about now Staines? I need to clean myself good and proper after all this mess." He asks, as you inform him of what you and the others found(and come across) so far in your explorations. Grabbing his weapon he adds "A few spider zombie things won't stop me.", to which you reply "I wouldn't go in there.....ther are 3 of them zombie-spider things and several other spider creatures as well as who knows what else. If you go in there you're as good as dead."

Resigning himself(Tanner) to the fact that he probably won't be getting clean anytime soon, he heads back into the Bunkroom with a scowl on his face. The three of you follow suit as you grab the showers room key off a key hook on a nearby wall, locking the door behind the lot of you as you all exit back into the Bunkroom.

As you all do so, you ponder what to do next. One of you has found a card key that may open new areas to explore, and there are a few areas left unexplored in the current room.

I go over to Charlie.
"Hey man, how ya doin'?
In all the excitement, I never did ask, How exactly did you get hurt?"

You go over to check on Charlie, asking him about his wounds and how he got them. He tells you that he got the one on his arm when the spider creature in the toilets/bathroom dropped down from the ceiling and caught him unawares. He then hid in the janitor supply closet in the bathroom hoping someone would come to his rescue.

Feeling very calm in my brain. Carefully processing the dead bodies I've seen and unnatural horrors threatening our lives.
It all seems to be going in there and comprehending. That's good.

Damn that crowbar has helped us out a lot. return torch to Staines and attempt to jealously oggle Lucy

Being done, I turn back to the newfound baths/showers entry room and search the desk for items.
Heavy, useful, envy-inducing items.

You hand the flashlight you borrowed from Staines back to him before asking if you can go back into the showers room entry area so you can search the desk within.

"Dammit Coleman are you off your nut? There's zombie spider things and who knows what else in there." Staines says with a look of amazement on his face at you even suggesting such a thing.

"Yes but I might find something right? Please be letting me in......lock the door behind me if you must until I am done." you reply, watching as Staines just sighs and unlocks the door...ushering you inside as he locks it behind you.

Eyeing the nearby desk you listen for any signs that the creatures have followed the lot of you any further from before. Nothing can be heard for now, so you search the desk eagerly. As found before, the top of the desk contains a desk lamp, and an old pet enthusiast's magazine. Walking around to just behind the desk you spot two small drawers......one on either side of a small niche.

Prying opening the left drawer you find someone has left behind one of those executive stress reliever toys(rubber ball kinda thing) which you pocket with glee. Next to it you also find a saran-wrapped sandwich(possibly tuna) and an apple.(The dead guard's lunch perhaps?) You grab all that you can before checking the other drawer. It is empty, sadly, so you slam it shut before heading for the door. As you do so, you hear something. Going back towards the locker room you find that the door between the small showers room hall and the changing room(which was blocked earlier by a bench) is moving slightly. Something is behind it and is trying to get in, it would seem.

"Shit shit shit........i'm out of here." you mumble to yourself before heading back into the showers room entry area from the locker room. Thinking to move the desk in front of the door(the door between the locker room and shower room entry area) you pull at one end of the desk, inching it along the floor with a slight scraping sound as the feet rub against the flooring. After getting it as close to the door as you can, you sigh with a bit of relief before pounding on the door leading back into the Bunkroom.

"Lemme in you guys. Those things are getting restless in here." you yell out, waiting as the door lock clicks and the door opens. Staines motions for you to get back into the Bunkroom and you do so with enthusiasm.

Found items: Sandwich(tuna?) and apple. Also rubber ball stress toy.

The apple seems perfectly normal. You offer the sandwich around, to which Charlie asks if he can have it.

Do you feed sandwich to Charlie the Orderly?

"Charlie, if you don't mind that it came from that old dead guy's desk and who knows how long it's been there and I don't know what the filling(tuna?) actually is, I'm happy for you to have it. Don't go thinking that I'll be placing pieces of it in your mouth and all that though because I wouldn't do that for my great granddaddy on his sickbed and I'm not going to start wiping my hands around your mouth now, there's germs and stuff all there. Hey, if we plan to move out of here are you gonna come with us or what?"

Charlie takes the sandwich as you hand it to him. "Nah, you don't need to feed it to me. I can do that just fine all by myself. Hmm....it appears to be ham salad. My favorite." He says as he takes the sandwich and unwraps it before taking a bite. "Seems fine.....mighty fine indeed. I haven't eaten in what seems like forever.....well besides that bit of jerky Tanner gave me earlier that is.....so this is much appreciated."

"Charlie, about that spider that got you....
Did it claw you or bite you?
Was it just the big one, or were there little ones around too?
Think real careful about this.
It's important & directly affects our future, like how long yours is..."

Charlie tells you that it was the big one you guys fought back in the bathroom/toilets room. It was the same size and shape anyways. And there was only one that he saw.

As for the wound, he says it swiped at him with one of it's legs and clawed a gash in his arm.

"Dammit Charlie! Things are getting bad! If this area starts swarming with whatsits and ghoulies are you gonna be able to make a break for it??"

Wait. I remembered something. Better check on that hole in my own bunkroom. Don't want that to burst.
I head on over to my bunk, and cautiously investigate the blocked creepycrawly hole

"I should be able to move when you guys decide to make a break for it......if we ever get out of here, that is." Charlie says as he sits up on the couch. He seems to be a bit better now, and in not too bad a state, considering he took two wounds to hid fleshy bits and all.

Hearing this, you decide to make sure none of said creatures have a chance to get into the area and feast on your fleshy bits. First you check the door into the showers area to make sure it's locked...it is, so you check the hole in the wall of your own cell. From what you can see, the hole appears to be plugged with bedding and the bed frame and mattresses block it from moving.

Seeing that everything is safe for now, you wander back to the commons area of the Bunkroom.

OOC: The following areas haven't been examined or searched yet: Bundy and Frank's cells, the patient hallway(where the gates leading to solitary and the doctor's hallway are.), and the commons area of the bunkroom itself(the area in the middle of the bunkroom with the tables/couches/tv.).

If everyone wants to search some more go ahead.....if everyone is done with searching the current areas for now I can move into Day 3......make your vote in OOC: and tell me, everyone, if you want to move into the next game "day" or continue on this "day" some more so you can continue searching the current areas. Once we move into game "day" 3, though, some areas will be blocked off for the rest of the game.
