good job but you need paragraphs

Honestly... no, I thought he would get buried with posts on what you plan to make your character look like, in fact I almost didn't click the post button. I'm happy I did, and I thank every one you guys for continuing onto this story, also I'm surprised more topics like this haven't arisen in the forums, either ripoffs of this topic, or completely creative new stories/forum games. Sadly, I'm gonna make one final journal entry so others may be the writer not me, I'm hoping I don't make my final journal entry a failure.

Day 138

We left at exactly 11:47 last night, and we're currently making our move towards this "safe place" the resistance have set up for us. They've handed me a semi-automatic pistol called the "Sea Eagle", I don't know why they trust me, especially since I left container city, and nearly got them killed due to Zeke's attack on the hospital, while we made to keep this place a secret should I continue to support the security (a mistake I will not remake, nor will I support the resistance even if they are planning on keeping me safe), they decided to put a blindfold after we reached the remains of a old pharmacy I once shopped at, there was a sign there too. It said... "TRAITOR!" with a sign of the security logo behind a resistance symbol. I asked about the sign but they ignored me and put the blindfold on me, and took the gun.

After a while of walking into things and being laughed at, we finally made our way into what looked like a large steel container, when I asked what this was, the well dressed man appeared from a nearby hatch door at nearby the entrance, and he answered "The S.S. Snow Owl, friend welcome to the resistance's solution to our escape problem" I asked what he was talking about, and told me the resistance plan on escaping the Ark using a large ship, I marveled at the sight of the ship and realized that escaping the Ark might be able to solve every problem I have now... but then I also heard loud clipping noises from the upper rooms, I asked about the noises, and the well dressed man simply laughed and called me a very curious fellow. He assured me that all my questions will be answered as long as I kept myself in line.

I have the exact words written below:
"Keep myself in line?"
"Yes, you do as your told and well tell you what we can, hell, we may even do you a favor such as... have the Jesse killed."
"You think I want him dead?"
I can see it in your eyes when I mentioned his name before"
"No, I won't allow that to happen think about it, I disappear and the Jesse mysteriously dies? I'd be the top suspect and my children will see me as a murderer!"
Well?
"Well what?"
"Will you do as you're told?"
"Do I have a choice?"

He simply smiled and told two of the resistance soldiers escorting me to show me my new quarters. It sounded sinister, but when I was pushed towards a well lit room with a dresser, a desk, a mattress with a large blanket on it, and gun rack above the desk. So, I guess I'll figure everything out tomorrow.

Off Topic : Guys it would be nice to put it in a new clean thread (when it's over ofc),makes the reading easier.Great work,read the most of it.And if i can add the start of day

Day 139

I have to figure it out...
Property drives the man insane.I must be more and more carefull,with others insanity,with my sanity.

And we are here,having nothing in a land divided by the lack of it more and more each day,
in a piece of land where everything is balancing in a knife's edge.

Sometimes i feel that these days here are passing through like poems.
Yeah,these damn things that no one ever reads.
Only difference is,these are MY bulletpoems and i'll make them count.

Day 140

I had a visiter today a man i haven't seen since my rescue about a month and a half ago. It was Ivan. He was here in my room and this is how our conversation went

"Hello there neighbor."

"Ivan? My god you're alive! I thought for sure you had died back when the security broke me out."

"It'll take alot more than some mudak security team to kill me! HAHA!"

"Mu what?"
"Mudak it means [censored]! haha!"

that made me smile but i had to aks him "How did you get away?"

"Oh thats a story for another day i just wanted to stop by and say hello its nice haveing you with us again"

After that he left a, little while latter the man in the suit came to my room and when i brought up Ivans name a look of saddness came to his face i was confused so i asked him what was the matter and he told me that when the security rescued me a firefight brok out between the two sides and the resistance forces were slaughtered and only Ivan made it out alive. He said he blames himself for what happened and that he wont talk about what happened exactly only that they lost and Ivan ran.

Day 145

I awake to the sound of gunfire and screaming. I quickly get out of bed and exit my room. Several members of the resistance push past me, yelling. I have to focus to hear what they are saying over all the gunfire.

"It's the Security!"

I follow them and end up running into Ivan, who is grabbing numerous weapons out of a nearby locker. I ask him what the hell is happening, and he, with surprising calmness, tells me a Spec Ops Security team came in with a bomb. Fortunately, a guard saw them and alerted everyone else, and now everyone is trying to get to them and stop them. I naively ask what they were doing with a bomb, and just after he states the obvious he hands me the Sea Eagle, which had also been stored in the locker, and pushed past me. I followed him down into the large steel container where the boat was being stored. Only moments after entering the container a bullet tears through Ivan's leg, causing him to fall to the ground. He quickly reacts, pulling out a rather large Assault Rifle decorated with graffiti. I spot his attacker at the same time he does. It is Bug, perched atop the ship with a sniper rifle. Ivan inaccurately sprays the assault rifle in Bug's general direction, only to have Bug quickly jump down into cover. Moments later another Security member, perhaps an Engineer emerges from the ship and gives Bug a hand signal. They begin to run towards the exit of the container, under heavy fire. The team exits the container with Bug in the back. Just before leaving Bug turns and gives me the same odd solute he gave me when we first me. Seconds later he has vanished with the rest of the team. For a second everyone stood, confused as what to do. Then everyone began to run. Some ran towards the ship, including Ivan, in hopes of finding and defusing the bomb. Others began to run as far away as possible. I still stood there, uncertain as what to do. By the time I had made my mind, it was to late. The Snow Owl was gone, and I blacked out.

Off topic: This is my first contribution, I hope you guys like it!

Day 47

I woke today in a bed at the container city hospitol. The nurse told me that i had been out cold for more than a day. Ivan was next to me, laying in a bed, still asleep. His leg had been banadaged and blood stains could be seen from where the wound must be. The nurse said that ivan will be fine, though he will take a little bit longer to recover seeing as his leg was injured as well as he being knocked cold from the explosion.

Ivan woke late at night, he just sat up all of a sudden, looked around and then relaxed in his bed. I asked Ivan what had happened to him after i was rescued. He told me about the firefight, about how he just nearly escaped. He spoke of it like all of it was his fault, like he had left them, when really he had stayed untill the last man had died. I told him that it wasnt his fault, though he didnt buy it. He fell asleep soon afterwards, or at least pretended to fall asleep to avoid another talk about the firefight he had lost.

I did not stay up too much longer than ivan. I sat there thinking about what was happening to Brittany and my kids, untill my eyes closed and i fell back into my pillow.

Day 147(continued)

I awoke an hour or so later to see Ivan with his head in his hands. I could swear he was crying. He must have noticed me, and he sat upright and tried to pretend he was fine. Without thinking I asked him what was wrong, and he surprised me. He told me his kids had been in the squad he was with at the firefight. I remember not seeing them in his house so long ago, but I never though that they might be soldiers. Then it struck me, what if I ended up like him, with my family gone. I have to try to get back to them. I have to get away from the Resistance, at least for now.

Day 148

I want to leave but i don't think i can right now with no where to hide from the security or the resistance who won't be to happy if i leave without a word. I need to talk to the Suit (thats what i decided to call him anyone can change it) and find out what happened to the ship. I asked Ivan where i could find him and he said he didn't know. I asked him how in the world he didn't know where one of his own live to witch he answered that no one in the resistance knows and that he would find me soon enough. And just like he said in walked the Suit looking as classy as ever. I asked him about my faimly and he said that the adoption went off without a hitch. I then ask when i would be able to safly see them again and he said the folowing "The situation has taken a turn for the worst the recent attack on the ship was meant to hit the engine if it had the whole boat would have gone up in flames and chances are we wouldn't be here. If they hadn't been spoted the mission would have been a sucess but the firefight held them back from making it to the engine room. The damage assesment isn't to bad but it will take time to fix. The attack on the ship was to kill you Mummy. They're getting desprate i don't think they will ever stop hunting you untill they can't anymore." He must have seen the confusion on my face because he continued to say " We need to win this war if there's any hope of you going back to your life with your family" And with that note he left. Win the war?!?! How the hell are they gonna win agaisnt a well trained well armed army?

Day 149

I woke up to find Ivan gone. This made little sense, seeing as how he had been wounded in the battle worse than I. 30 minutes later or so the nurse entered, and I asked about Ivan. She told me that he had gone to organize a plan of action with the suit, despite her telling him to stay in the hospital. For hours after that I lay there thinking about what horrible things could be happening to my family. Eventually, Ivan returned. I asked him what the plan was, and he seemed somewhat surprised that I know that that was what he had been doing. He told me that the Security had recently constructed a huge amount of weapons and they were being stored in a shipyard, with almost no security, right in the middle of the Ark, and several teams were going in to extract them.

I questioned him, wondering about why so much weaponry would have so little security(no pun intended). I asked if he though it was a trap and he said it most likely was, but it was also the Resistance's best chances of matching the Security until the boat is repaired, assuming the Security doesn't attack it again. The Security know that we have it, so they must have someone feeding them info.

Off topic
I think the mummy is getting too important in the war, some of the main reasons of half the battles are because of him.

Yeah, I thought it was odd when Bloodhound said that the attack was actually on the Mummy. It's not what I had in mind when I wrote that. Still, what's done is done.
P.S. Bloodhound, don't get me wrong man, your contributions are awesome.

Sorry we are on day 150 now.


And I think that maybe before the game releases something big need to happen or the main character need to die or something that would put the main story into place.

Don't you worry your pretty little head. I've got a plan, and Blaven approves of it.


Day 150

I saw the Warrior for the first time in quite a while. He wanted to read my journal. I asked why, and he said "I like a good story, and yours is a good one." I let him, and from the looks of it, he didn't write anything. Good. After that, I asked him about Ivan and his plan to raid the Security armory. He sighed, and said the raid was outrageously dangerous, but equally vital. The Resistance needed those weapons, as the Security were too well-armed. I agreed, but didn't want to take part in the raid anymore - I've had enough danger for a lifetime. I found Ivan and told him that, and he stammered. Here's exactly what happened:

Not going? You can't just... not go! We need you out there!
I need my family more! I'm not going to get myself killed!
Don't you see this is the only way you'll ever see your family? Security's cracking down hard, killing just about whoever they please, because they have that kind of weaponry! We need it!
So you can kill whoever you please?
Wha..? We're trying to save these people!
Security's trying to save them too! Everytime you raid them, you rob innocent people of vital resources and more often than not, they die in the crossfire!
Are.. Are you betraying us? After all we did for you?
All you did for me?!? You saved my life, yeah, but only after you tried to kill me! Hell, you even framed me for murder and interrogated the armor plans out of me, now the Security's trying ta kill me!
Exactly! They'll be after you and your family, and we're trying to protect you, you ingrateful little-
Protect me from what? The Security? The Resistance?
....
When I came to the Ark, I wanted to live. And I damn well plan on doing so!

I stormed out right after that. Who does he think he is? Who does any of these people think they are? Senselessly fighting over an argument that can't be won, and everyone's dying in the process! Whole damn world's gone to waste, and here we are, fighting ourselves to the brink of human extinction!

I'm grabbing my stuff. I'm going to find Brittany, going to comfort Jack and Rebbeca, going to live my life out in peace far far away from all this conflict.

My apologies for the double post, but if it's any consolation, I'm slowly ending the thread. I have Blaven's permission, though he did say this was everyone's journal. Sit tight - You won't regret this.

Day 151.

I didn't sleep at all. It's midnight now, but I'd imagine everyone else is asleep. I'm going to find Brittany and Jack and Rebecca. I've heard some of the resistance soldiers say they were hiding in a bunker a bit off of the aquarium. I've been near there before, and I'm going there now. Wish me luck.

Day 151 (Continued)

I'm back with my family again. Brittany's got it all figured out, she has some neutral friends who have agreed to house us for a day and send us to the next house. We are to go to the very outskirts of the Ark, and live our days in relative peace. We leave tomorrow. Everyone is busy, collecting everything they need. I have my old pistol, the one I found many weeks ago. It's clean, and Jack's been taking care of it. He's actually fixed it a little.

Brittany's been occupying herself with keeping the kids calm, and I'm sure they weren't happy about all the relocations. Due to the resistance, They are technically Brittany's adopted children, and the Suit said the Security couldn't harm them. However, Brittany says that the Jesse has detached himself from her, and she says they have been open to attack since then.

Rebecca's not sick like she was the last time I saw her, but all the illnesses and the epi-pens and the stimpacks have weakened her. She tires out too easily and complains of pains much more often. As a result, Jack is ever closer to her than before, and has taken good care of the family. He's angry that I haven't been with him these crucial times, but he knows it's not my fault. Jack's been practicing his aim with the pistol for quite some time, but I.. I'm afraid he's had to use the pistol. A straggler from a Security raid found his way into the house and started to raid the house. Jack killed him with a shot to the head, and Brittany says he hasn't been himself since. His facial expression is permanently grim.

That's all for now. We're just about ready to move to the first house in Brittany's chain of friends that'll take us to somewhere safe. We need to cover as much ground as we can. This'll be the last journal entry for some time. Good bye.

Are you still workin' on this or was that the end?

No, I took a while off for dramatic effect. Let the questions sink in and all. I've still plans for three or so more posts that'll wrap it up nicely.

Oh well. I was hoping to get a couple more contributions in, but that's fine. Excited to see your ending.

Does he die, has the civil war started yet

Uh, I'm pretty sure the civil war started pretty early in the story.

Hahah, I'm glad to hear that! I'll start the next post now.



He hasn't died, but the civil war started some time ago.

Leave me alone, damn it!
You had your chance! You're too essential to our plan!



Daddy! Noo, Daddy-
Get back, you damn kid!



Damn it, she's going to wake up the whole neighborhood!
I got her, say nighty-night, little girl.



YOU BASTARDS! I WAS DAMNED RIGHT, YOU AREN'T SAVIORS! YOU'RE DAMNED TERRORISTS, KILLING EVERYONE YOU SEE!
What the hell was that for? You didn't have to kill her!
We're in the middle of Security territory! The five of us can't stand up against the entire Security forces! She was alerting everyone!
Well god damnit, Ivan, I thought we were supposed to be saving these people!
These people? They're nothing but a bunch of low-life traitors.

day 154

This.. this is Jack. I found this journal - my dad's journal - outside the shack. My dad kept it on his person since before we came to the ark, but now it's here. There was a note attached to it when I first saw it - "I hope you'll finish your father's story. The Warrior". I don't know what it means, but he must have been close enough to my dad to get his journal.

I.. I have little reason to live now that Rebecca's dead. I've spent my whole life protecting her, and now she's gone.

When I came to the Ark, I wanted to live. Now, It's like I'm living a hollow life. Brittany says it'll be better when we get somewhere safe and dad comes back, but I'll be honest - I don't think he's coming back this time.

CAM 0x1F23E TIME 11.52


What will you trade for him?
Trade?!? You needed me for a damned trade?!?
You're a traitor to the Resistance. We've no use for you, but it seems our Security friends here do.

How much?
30 Epi-pens.
30 Epi-pens?!? This is your damned traitor we're talking about!
Aye, and he's causing you more trouble than he's worth, and to you, he's not worth anything. 30 Epi-pens.
...Fine.



Fire at will, boys!

See you in hell, you bastard! Should've never given away those armor plans, It'd make our job more easier!




W.. Warrior?
It's me, lad, don't you worry.
I.. Listen, I'm wasted. I'm not making it out of here.
Now don't say dat. D..Don't say da-
Warrior, li..listen. Tell my son I came to the Ark so he could be safe. Tell... tell him i did this for him.





(Off topic: There's one more post that will end the story once and for all. Coincedentally, there is one more post left in the thread. Tune back tomorrow for the last post in the Refugee Journal Game.)

Hey kid, you lost?
Oh, I'm lost, allright. But I know I'm supposed to be here.
The hell does that mean?
I.. I'd like to volunteer. To be a soldier.
Pfft, look, kid, this here's a civil war. Y'know what that means? It means people die. That mean-
I damn well know what that means.


Calm down, It ain't my gun.


This.. This here's my father's journal. He wrote in it just about every day since we first set foot on the Ark.
I read it over, and I understand now why he came here with me and my family. He came here so we could live a safe life.

He's dead now. So's my little sister. I ran away from my adoptive mother, and I came here.
My father wanted me and my sister to live a good life. That was ruined when the war started.

Story of everyone's life, kid. Why are you any different?

Look, guy, I want to do this. I want to help all those people who need help, and there's only one way to do it.
When I came to the Ark, I wanted to live. Now? I want to fight.
