OLIVE

I was one of the last people in Specter, mostly because I couldn’t find any friends to give me a ride out during the mass exodus. They didn't forget about me, though, they probably just thought that - since I'm a cop, that I'd be able to take care of myself. And they were right.

I've been camped out on my roof, getting a pretty rad tan for the last few days, eating jelly beans and generally throwing all our large decorative rocks down at the undead shroom zombies. I have my plastic tub of jelly beans and my pee bottle, so I think I'll be fine.

Today, I saw smoke billowing out from a house a few blocks away. I knew it was time to put my rescue hero skills to the test. I grabbed my stainless steel katana and jumped down in the middle of the zombie swarm in my yard.

Because I am cool, I was able to behead many of them until my sword got jammed in some slimy fungus corpse's throat. I had to leave it behind so I could valiantly flee the scene. The fire wasn't going to put itself out. Besides, these zombies were slow. Most fungus parasites could only move so much.

It was the giant pink ones we had to worry about. They were mutated female spores - gross.

Okay so I was running down the street with my ninja stars in tow, unfollowed because I am so fast, and I finally got to the scene. There was a young couple on the lawn, panicking and begging for me to save their puppy. The blue uniform lets people know I'm here to help, after all.

I ran into the burning building, calling for their dear Raisinette.

I swear I had seen that guy out in the lawn before. He likes to creep around the graveyard at night - very suspicious! But the dog was innocent. I found her cowering under the sofa, pulled her out - even though she tried to bite me, and dashed with her out the door.

I had a dog too, and I knew that the cute thing deserved love. Maybe she could be friends with my golden retriever, Austin Powers.

The two civilians thanked me for my brave deed, and I introduced myself as officer Olive Mitchell. They asked about my training, but every good cop knows that no training is necessary when you know in your heart that police work is what you were born to do. They said that doesn't make me a 'real' cop, but they're obviously wrong. I mean, I have ninja stars.

So, we three got acquainted. I learned their names - Jared and June, though Jared's all like 'dude, call me Rogers, stop being rude' but it's rude to say I'm impersonating an officer so whatever. Besides, it turns out they were making popcorn when the fire started, and since I hate those yellow and white popcorn flavored jelly beans, I promised I would save those kinds just for them. I mean I AM nice like that.

We're gonna stay at my house tonight, then head out in the morning for better shelter.

June is convinced my family left me behind because they think I'm insane. All I told her was I'm 27, lived at home, and once gravely injured a home intruder with a ninja star.

I don't have a real job and the nearby campuses and clubs have issues when it comes to hiring women.

I simply refuse to believe that it's because I have no experience, because they all know I am perfect for the job. Though the president does seem to have a problem with women...

Anyways, June and 'Rogers' are in my house now, eating my jelly beans, using my Netflix. June's crying over some show called Lost, cause she hasn't gotten over losing her wife or something so I GUESS it's okay. Austin and Raisinette are the best of friends, now too.

Later, June is gonna take me to the shooting range so I can learn to use a firearm, then Rogers is gonna take us looting since he's apparently so good at it, so we can get ammo, foods, and general supplies for the trip out. We're also going to find a vet soon so that we can get Raisinette fixed, even though I swear Austin is a girl too with a benign crotch tumor so nothing would happen.

We're going to find our ex-governor's daughter's refugee camp afterwards. I heard she took over a college campus, got a whole bunch of survivors from the nearby chemical bombs and got a whole bunch of scientists to build a bubble around the campus to keep the spores out. They're growing crops in there and everything. It's gotta be obvious from far away, so I think we're good.
