WAKE UP, SUNSHINE!
At 11:11am, there will be a single flash of light, bright enough to show up in the sky over all of California. It won't give you any lasting damage, don't worry. It lasts for a second, if that, and is soon gone.
Only to be followed minutes later by a loud crack that shakes everything.
The sound eventually fades away, leaving a large trail of smoke pouring from some kind of accident.
If characters choose to investigate this, they'll find the remains of a high speed train that had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and had driven directly into a... mountainside. Everything is on fire and nothing is okay—but amazingly, there don't seem to be any people on board. Or, uh, remains of people. Only melting, twisted metal and heat—the train was large, and part of it was driven up the mountain by the sheer force of the hit. It's an immediate danger zone, not something to be trifled with.
Inside the wreckage is a large rate full of walkie talkie type radios. That's it. For a train that was at least three times the height of a normal train, it sure didn't pack much. And once the radios are found, three things will happen.
Now you have radios, and a horde is forming right before your eyes.

- Zombies will start advancing on the wreckage from all directions. It's not night, so the running screamy zombies aren't around, but oh wow that is a lot of shambling guys...
- A male voice can be heard through a speaker hanging half off of the side of the train. "Hey! Hey, look, I know it's all shitty right now—you need to find the s—and wait—go to V—idiot left it there before h—ied, and I'll—you in a few—" before the interference is just too much to hear.
- A piece of paper is sitting on top of the crate. It gives clear directions to the new radio tower, situated nearby.
Now you have radios, and a horde is forming right before your eyes.
OOC NOTES.
The train crash is located five or so miles from the compound. The radio tower can hold around 30 characters at once if you squish. How you disperse the zombies and get back to the compound (or wherever you're going) is up to you! Please view the OOC Post for potential plans and strategies, if you'd like!
If you're not interested in anything in this log, you can stay behind—the compound and anywhere nearby might be a little safer for awhile, since the zombies are all flocking to one place.
And while you're exploring the crash/landscape/tower, you might find something... here is the new permanent turn in post!
Any attempts to contact the man from the train speaker will be met with... radio silence.

It's the only way to get good conversation around here.
[Pointedly, she shoves the radio into her bag, and grabs for a fifth.]
no subject
Harsh — and untrue. I bet the zombies are great at making small talk, if you give them a chance.
[If the conversation involves sudden death, maybe.]
no subject
[Zombies. She knows what he means, even if she didn't know the word before. Her mouth hitches up in a smirk.]
It's funny that you brought up zombies before you named any people--but okay. You can go out and find one worth my time.
no subject
[Well, not really. His butt is just chaffed because a good chunk of his family is here. Ew.]
no subject
[She leans her elbow on her knee and puts her chin in her hand. Still smirking.]
Hey, you're not trying to get out of going out to find me a conversation partner, are you? Because you already offered.
