Ok so, I don't usually have do this, because I like to think that I try really hard to read others posts through a few times just to make sure that I have everything down clearly before writing a reply, but I'm afraid I've gotten a little lost, and so I need some clarification. [thought that this was the best place for the thread, so here we go:]
So, first of all; I'm not perfect and this is probably all just a misunderstanding on my behalf. I can become confused by even the simplest passages of text because I am a kinesthetic (audio+physical) learner; written words don't always do it for me. So if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, and thankfully there's that little edit button there for a reason. I learned a long time ago that if I mess up in an RP it's OK to go back and fix it, and generally-speaking asking for clarification is better than sitting back and getting frustrated because I'm at a loss. aka - Unlike my Chris muse, I'm not too bullheaded and stubborn to ask for someone to help explain something to me in a way that I can understand it.
In short, what I am confused about is the exact location of Kyle and Jezza as of this moment in time.
Both characters started out in the bathroom and moved out into the hallway, where Jezza puked and Kyle first brought her the meds. That much is pretty clear:
Then Kyle (marked by the aquamarine dot) ditched Jezza (marked by the greenyellow dot) in the hall with said meds in order to investigate. He goes down the cooridoor, ignores the room with the collapsing ceiling [["The hall turned in a vaguely horseshoe shape and once he rounded both corners he found once again a choice, to go through the doors to right or to the left. Right worked well enough the first time...]]; passes the stairwell room to floor 2 [["He tried the handle of the first door on his right and was about to see if it was open when there were the sounds of shuffling feet and quiet moaning. Feeling it best not to tempt fate, he moved on to the next door"]]; and then enters the courtyard study where he proceeds to find the handgun:
Jezza, at about this point in time, begins getting anxious and decides to go looking for him. However, she cannot seem to bring herself to get very far; [["With her back to the wall ... she made a b-line around the first corner and continued edging onward ... She got the threshold of the larger area and balked. Too big for her taste right now. ... She didn't even realize she was whimpering until she scampered into the corner"]] & [["The first shout had her leaping damn near out of her skin, the second had her bolting blindly towards the only familiar voice right now ... She stumbled at the threshold of the larger room and let her panic carry her through."]]. I had assumed that this mean that she was still in the first corridor, but had managed to push herself through the large "open space" (you know, where zombies come through the windows in UC); [["[she] barreled through the larger room to find a wider room and then another set of doors. ... "KYLE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" She roared the question in frustration as she sank against the wall between both doors"]] during this part I had assumed that this meant that she was hiding in this corner between the double-doors and the door to the trap-ceiling room, since by "barreled through the larger room" I assume she means the largest section of the hall, by "wider room" I assume she means the hall space between the two doors on either side of her, and by "she sank against the wall between both doors" I assume she meant the place where I have marked her little green dot:
The next few posts are where I became conflicted: from Damen's post I gather that he thinks that she's gone through into the room with the trap ceiling instead; [["Kyle found the towel and spilled meds a few yards from where he had left her"]] (implying that he went all the way back down to the bathroom area to pick up the meds she left behind) [["... He quickly pulled one of the waterproof bags from his pants pocket and filled it with the spilled meds ... He ... then backtracked a little and put his ear to the door opposite of the corridor he had gone down. He heard faint sounds ... placed his other hand on the doorknob and quietly entered the room."]]:
This is all fine and well, but this kind of makes me feel like a dummy for getting the impression that they were out in the hall and headed back to get Jezza's labcoat and towel which is where Shak (marked by the orange dot) and Chris (marked by the green dot) would have bumped into them:
if this is not the case, however, I will gladly go back and revise my post because Chris' current objective is to simply get Shak to Burke (and subsequently John), in the foyer. Since he knows the mansion pretty damn well, he wont be thinking to make a pit-stop at the trap-ceiling room, and thus will be blowing past Jezza and Kyle completely in order to take Shak down the L-shaped corridor, through the art room, and to the main foyer:
SO IN SHORT:
I want to know if I have to go back and edit my post. ;D;;
Sorry that this is so long-winded and stupid of me. I honestly just feel really dumb right now. So I'll sit down and shut up.
