And Ben was helping!
Sure, he knew it was perfectly possible to sleep on the floor. But he had only done so when he was dead tired from an anime marathon, and trying to fall asleep on a hard floor without being dead tired seemed like it wouldn't be nearly as easy. Then again, some people were bound to snore, so perhaps that would keep people awake anyway?

Nat gathered up the candles and the lighters, making a point not to look at the walls - or really, much of anything - for all that long. In afterthought, he also gathered up the Vitamin water - it was better than nothing.
The blonde exited the club-goth apartment looking *very* embarrassed, with an armful of bottled sugar-water, candles, and lighters. He planned to drop those off in the Empty Apartment before returning to look into other apartments.
Of course, who knew if he'd make it much further than the apartment...

The hall went completely dark, all ambient electrical noises suddenly gone.
Micah and Patti watched the microwave grow dark, and the LED timer suddenly switch off, with 30 seconds to go on a plate of soft greens.

( I will let Micah have the hallway conversation with Nat later in converse here and we can plonk it in. Don't want to get in the way of the spookies) "No problem, uh nah I think I am okay here thanks." More bloody take out?? Did anyone cook in this apartment? His stomach didn't seem too concerned with where the food came from. He placed the takeout into the microwave and began grabbing out any vegetables he could find.1:32 He found some capsicum, coriander and carrots. It would have to do. Out of habit he began cleaning the surfaces off, getting rid of any lingering germs. He searched for the right knives, finding only a blunt carving knife. Philistines .0:40 The chopping board used to be red. Used to be, it was now a dull pink and stained brown in the middle. Ugh. His stomach groaned at him, he began slicing the carrot and capsicum. The familiar rhythm was pleasant. He was just about to wash the coriander."Ding!!" Everything went black. "Fuck!!"

Now in the hallway, Alex called out, "Anyone there?" His voice sounded more timid than he'd intended. That was no good. Ghosts and undead probably flocked around weakness. He held his candle out to better light the way and tried again.
"Hey! Micah? Patti?" Better: this time, his voice was a firm baritone.

Ben was in the stairs between 10th and 11th floor, wrestling with a foam mattress that Tyrone and Davin had left out in the hall to be picked up by whoever. When the lights went out, Ben froze. Crap! tab It was of course bound to happen sooner or later, but why couldn't it have waited until they were ready for it? Tough to be fair, they kind of were ready for it in this place. Would've been so much worse if they had been in a zombie-infested building. Speaking of which, the lock on the front doors, would it be unlocked by loss of power, or would the doors be jammed shut with no electricity? Or was it powered by some kind of battery? It would be bad if zombies could just start wandering inside, though the stairs made for excellent choke points. And they'd have the high ground!
Suddenly Ben could hear someone calling out from the 10th floor. He started to slowly feel his way down the stairs, while still maintaining a hold on the mattress. Once he got down, he saw faint candlelight coming out of the doorways, and used that as a guiding beacon to the apartment next to Anna's.

Patti was using the bathroom in the cowboy's apartment when the lights went out. She washed her hands quickly (who wants to die of dysentery during a zombie apocalypse?) and headed out to the main room. If anyone is still there, she will gently herd them out and across the hallway to Anna's apartment.

Micah had ignored Pattie's attempts to herd him back to Anna's place. His stomach had taken full control, but it was fucking dark. He had spent the last five minutes trying to find a plate and locate the microwave again, when he heard his name. "In here Alex, bring a light will you?" He called back.

Micah grinned back."Fuck you, It's all I could find in a hurry apart from some Korean chick's clothes. Your welcome to her mini-skirt... Err I'd give you some Bulgogi and vegetables, but I think Patti may kill someone if I don't leave half for her." Micah got the food out and placed it all into two bowls. He found a couple of pairs of chopsticks. He began wolfing down one bowl, it wasn't fantastic, but he really didn't care at this point."What have you been up to? Still shirtless I see. There were some tank tops in the apartment where I found these." He grinned slyly.

Alex- "Thanks, I had some chicken at Anna's place, so Patti's welcome to it. Tank tops, huh?" Tank tops were versatile, and they stretched. "It’s the place next door? Ha, I’ll check that out. S'long as they don't have those devil stars on them." He pointed at the pentagram on Micah's sweater. "Be right back." Alex will go next door and get as far as the bedroom before, in the candlelight, he realizes that there's graphic porn on the walls. In his attempt to leave the apartment as quickly as possible, he will drop his candle and run face-first into the wall. He'll make a pained sound, but will not call for help, because that might bring more respectable people into the den of sin. He cannot live with himself if somebody cool like Davin or Anna catches him stumbling around shirtless with a bloody nose in a stranger's sex bedroom. Alex will try to find his way out in the darkness.

(Haha, you guys are making me LOL with these naughty/amusing scenarios. Conversing here is just dandy, but if you want to keep moving and but also an extended conversation, then add it back in-- you can use the other thread. By the way, there is one more apartment on this floor as yet not broken into, and the Colonel's son's apartment up two flights.)

BAM! Alex kicked the door down, and found a startled and cranky looking man.Cranky man- "...I would have answered the door. *glower*"

Hahaha Alex, you dumbass!Alex gaped. Did he just break into an innocent man's home to STEAL clothes? What had he become? He'd been worried about the others turning into monsters, but never expected the transformation to happen personally. "Ooooh ..." Alex covered his face and bowed it with shame. "Sorry, Sir. I am so sorry. I ... the dead ... and then I saw ..." He realized that blood still trickled from his nose, over his lip, and onto the floor directly outside the man's doorway. "Can I borrow a shirt? I’ll pay you all I have!" He took out his wallet and removed two twenties - his thumb left large, bloody prints on the money. Alex weakly held them out, though he did not enter the apartment. "Don’t you know what's happening out there? Why are you alone? It’s the End Times! Jesus, I'm so sorry. Swear, after all this is over, my parents will buy you TWO new doors. I’m sorry!"
