TURN UPDATE!
Jack wanders into the Resturant Lounge, the walls continue to moan. One wall of the Lounge is composed of several 10 feet by 4 feet pane glass windows, they have all been boarded up, except for one. One foggy window, Jack walks closer and wipes away some of the condensation with his hand, on the other side he sees a few palm trees moving erratically, violently swaying back and forth, and when they move: the walls moan, a great deal of rain is falling, and just beyond the palm trees, is the rising surf crashing against the Seawall.
It appears that someone has written a message on the window's condensation with a finger:
You can see nothing else When you look in my face, I will look you in the eye And I will never lie.

ADVICE: Try to include an Exploration Action in the first post of the Turn, so that your character will have a chance to find weapons, medications, and keys each turn. Then for the rest of the turn, your character can concentrate on interaction without worry, and still get the work out of the way. That way, these Areas will be finished in 2-3 turns. In addition, it will help bring substance into the posts, you are painting a picture, it doesn't have to just be just Decay in this world.

Mark found what appeared to be a memo at the front desk. He calmly read it while sitting at the desk. He appeared to be almost at leisure.
His eyes went wide.
Mark stumbled out of the chair, clutching onto the memo. He began looking for the others.
"Uh, guys? Anyone?" His voice got progressively louder and louder as he tried to get someone's attention. "I think someone might want to read this."

As he looked, James realized something was at the bottom of the pool... and so James was soon at the bottom of the pool. He swam and grabbed the object, coming up to the surface to check it out...
".... rock..." he frowned.. it was... a rock.... well.. okay so I can't find a drug reference for that.. He'd figure something out.
He wandered around, holding his... rock.. and found Mark shouting. He stepped up behind him, soaked from head to toe. "I can read.."

Mark jumped, being frightened by the sound of a large dripping thing coming up behind him. But no, it was just James. "I can read." Mark showed James the memo, but did not hand it over to the dripping wet young man. Despite holding it in a clear view to be read, Mark found himself explaining it anyway. "I think it means we're in Texas, which makes no sense to me. But more importantly this area was evacuated because of a hurricane.... so we really need to find a way to get out of here." (For James reference: here is the torn memo) EVACUATION NOTICE
Due to the approach of Hurricane Ike, a mandatory evacuation has been ordered by the State of Texas. Only outgoing traffic will be permitted on the primary evacuation route, northbound on Interstate 45. The Ferries and Railroads will now be shut down...

Christian had wandered into into the Gym after everyone had for some reason parted ways, and walked into a basked filled with Basketballs. He stumbled back and stopped against a wall. He sighed, sliding down the wall to where he was sitting, and was finally able to rest and think about the terrible event that had occured just a little bit ago.
Why had he suddenly passed out? Christian sighed, shaking his head. None of the Answers were coming to him. Farthermore, what was he doing at a Hotel? at this hour? He stood, and began to pace. None of it made sense, especially not the fact that he thought he saw his Kid here. He didn't even look like James, but then again it had been Years since he last saw him. Christian blinked, and walked to the other end of the Gym quickly, deciding to search the Gym, do anything other than think about that.
SEARCH (gym) Christian starts in the Utility room of the Gym, searching through all of the balls and sticks and other sports Equipment. he then goes through the Desk in there, searching every drawer. He then moves into the Gym proper, and he searches along the entire wall. He scans the main room - there is some junk piled in random spots, so he goes to the bigger piles and looks through them carefully. Finally he checks the Bleachers. END SEARCH
Christian is about to leave when he hears someone shouting in the Lobby. He quickly runs there and finds Mark standing next to James, reading a note. Christian walks up to them and reads the note over James shoulder. "Son of a Bitch... Ok, this is starting to make sense." he said, crossing his arms. "I think I get it now."
He blinked, and looked at the Others. "Are any of you Texans?" he asked, crossing his arms.

James blinked... Evacuation? ... This was seeming very different for his trips..... it crossed him mind for a moment that, perhaps, he wasn't on drugs right now.... but he quickly forgot about it in favor of rereading the note.... he knew Ike hit in September... gave him an idea of the date.. "Must be... after September then?" He looked to Mark, honestly asking. He had no idea what the date was..
"... we should get out... there's a parking garage.. I saw a sign.. we should see if there's a car in there we can steal.. I know how to hotwire so we'll be okay..." but then... ".... if we do find one.." he seemed.. oddly sober.. "only a few can fit.. You, me, Dad... that girl who was bitching.... she seemed young..." she chewed it over. "if I find a car.. we'll be the only ones in it.." he turned, going to check the garage, glancing at his father on the way there.
Search - Garage: James checked all over the ground of the garage, any level it may have, mostly looking for a car, but also keeping an eye out for dropped keys, just in case someone dropped them in the evacuation panic. He didn't want to miss anything. He wanted to get them out, as he was becoming intrigued by his reasoning ability while he was this high. If he went further into this, he might truly be entertained.. hell, maybe he'd write a book about it.. his amazing journey to find his mother.. End Search

Jack sat behind the bar hiding. There was somthing in the air, he just did not like. However, he must admit that this area was pretty well kept. Totaly unlike the upstairs. Do any of these fausets work? He did not know. Part of him did not care either. "Ah pap!" (Sorry this is pitifully small. I have a lot going on now. )

Bella had exhausted her options in the Sauna, and came up with little to show for it. Some pills, she recognized them as Vicadin. There was a time when it would have delighted her to have gotten ahold of these, to take willingly for no reason other than an altered state of mind. Those times were past however.
Stepping from the wooden door closing the room in, steam rolled out with her into a thin hallway. The atmosphere felt chilled now, and goose flesh began to creep over her body. The short hallway led into a Locker room that looked as if it'd been ransacked, someone else had been here and thoroughly searched the place, when and who she did not know. First stepping onto the cracked tiles of the room the thick odor of mildew cascaded into her nostrils. The smell brought about fairly unpleasant memories. She could see the basement of her old as house from childhood in her mind.
Hours of being left alone in the dark, so very alone. Punishment for spilling a glass of milk over the kitchen table, the cool down time after a thrashing from her stepfather to melt away the tears, and cease the sobbing. She had always hated that basement, it was damp, dark and kind of scary, at least to the mind of a young girl.
She shook her head, knocking the thoughts away and trying to concentrate enough to ignore the mildewy smell.
She stopped for a moment as she heard splashing from somewhere past the room. Hurriedly, she'd made her way to the small metallic door at the end of the room. Peering through the window she took in the sight of a fairly large indoor pool. This made sense when she rolled it through her mind, after all, she'd came from a sauna and now through a locker room.
Quietly watching she observed a teenage young man pull himself out of the pool, clutching something in one hand as he did so. He appeared fairly tall, and quite lanky. She wondered if he could feel someone watching him.
The sound of someone shouting, another male, broke her thought process, and Bella's eyes darted to the corner of the window, but could see no further, no matter how she craned her neck in an effort to do so. The first fellow, the soaking wet one made his way from the pool and out of her sight. Though muffled she heard one of the two of them say something, but it was too jumbled to make out. The conversation continued, but she could understand none of it all the same, only hear it muffled.
Waiting until she could hear the conversation no more, Bella slowly slipped out of the locker room, making sure to open and shut the door quietly. She still had no idea where she was, or why she was here, and as such a stranger could be dangerous.
Gritting her teeth and clinching her fists she slowly ducked through the pool room, looking around the corner to check if the two boys were still around. They weren't, however she could now hear them again, and overheard the mentioning of a garage by one.
Rounding another corner she could now make out the silhouette of one of them proceeding down a hallway. She slowly, and as quietly as she could moved down the hall following them. Her boots were heavy however, and made more noise than she'd hoped they would in such a quiet area.
"If he turns around to attack, I might be able to take him, he's scrawny. might be able to take him out om one shot if I put myself to it. Gotta stay cool, hafta keep my head." She told herself in her mind as she kept a low profile and continued to follow the two...

After finishing searching the auditorium, Riiko walked back to the Computer Room. "Jordan...are you done yet? ...I'm sorry about before, it's just that I don't want you to abandon me..." Riiko really didn't want him to leave, if he did the cultists might get her, and if they did...Riiko shuddered and sat down to calm down. "Oh...I almost forgot..." She took out a prescription bottle and popped two capsules in her mouth.

(Hey Kingofdogs, you're following James, Right? who's the other person you're following? I thought he was alone... Or are you following someone else?)
Mark shook his head, And Christian shrugged. "Well then... I guess that changes things. But maybe... maybe for some reason we were all in Texas... I know why I'm here, but If you're not a resident then maybe you were just visiting and you can't remember." he said. James suddenly started to wander off. Christian blinked, and sighed, letting him go. 'It would be good if he found a car...' he thought, but kept it to himself.
"Well maybe while we were here, the alarm was sounded... and" he sighed, holding his head, trying to formulate his thoughts, "And we were all evacuated to this hotel...." he frowned, "Maybe we were all hit by the Hurricane, and someone else brought us here... but we got left behind... ugh." he sighed, unable to come up with the right words. "I don't know. That's just what I'm thinking.

(king of dogs is following me. I dunno who else is xD I thought I was alone hahaha I didn't ask Mark to come with me just told him I was going)
James stopped just after his search... he'd.. heard footsteps. He knew he had... He turned to look, spotting.. someone.. The garage wasn't well lit.. what parking garage is? He tilted his head. "Hello?" he asked, not sure what it was. His luck it was some strange monster from the beyond come to eat him.. usually was. He sighed. "Just come on into the light.. may as well.. we're all stuck here, right? Join the fun."

Kierra awoke to the sound of people talking off in the distance. She lay there for a minute listening before trying to move. Her body ached, and she felt dizzy. She stumbled through the lobby to see 3 men dissappear through a corridor.
She followed them into the underground garage to see what they were up too...

(is that supposed to be James? he's not screaming he like. never screams.. and he was in the lobby when that happened. and he's ALONE in the parking garage. except Bella followed him.. now it's TWO girls xD following ONE doped up teenager.. who isn't acting crazed. Infact, he's rather sober right now xDD it's surprising even himself.. please read the posts clearly.. he's not yelling, not crazed and, as far as I know, he went to the garage by himself.. if you follow him, that's your own deal. And a note: he would never say anything accusingly like that. You make him sound mean xD he's monotone and bored... he's just looking for a car.. calmly. And he'd be like "we don't have room but if you wanna climb in the trunk, go for it." please understand the character before you speak for him. thank you for understanding! Let's clear this up so we can do this right, yeah? ^^)
