[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast OOC

[failedreality]

To my knowledge I have never used bold unless it was during the talking.

It all looks ok on my laptop..

Let me know on my next post if it looks ok or not.

the font you were using above looks just fine

James will try to get as many canned goods and bulk grains as he can loaded into the back of the semi. If there is a dollie available, he will use that the expedite things. If there are any medicines or other supplies like bandages, he will try to grab those as well. Are there any hardware supplies (painting masks, plastic tarps, tools etc.)? If so, that is the last thing that he will load into the back (along with anything else that looks useful that might catch his eye).

Oh, and obviously he'll grab any fuel for the truck that he sees.

There are no dollies, but there are pallet jacks. You can carry approximately 1000 lbs. on a pallet jack with a pallet underneath. It will take approximately 5 minutes for one person to load a pallet jack, then another 5 minutes to unload it. If two people work together the time is cut in half, but no more than two people working at a time. Since you are going to be carrying 9 people in the cab, you will need to decide whether or not you are going to unhitch the cargo trailer or not. It is presently empty so you could use it for storage. But even empty, the increased weight and drag will significantly reduce your fuel economy. The only types of medical supplies are two first aid kits and one pharmacist kit (the latter is in the pharmacy). There are no tools except the simplest household items. Box-cutters, razor blades, duct tape, masking tape, wood glue, filtered masks, protective eyewear, baltine hammers, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers.

And no, there is no diesel fuel in the supermarket.

I'll suggest to travel ASAP, without taking anything else. If we reach the farm, there'll be, possibly, plenty of food.

Was that a stupid suggestion? I had no notion...


Anyway, James will try to at least grab the pharmacy and first aid kits, filtered masks, and eyewear before heading out.

Well, I'm not sure what country you are from, but in the United States diesel fuel is usually sold along highways where trucks have ready access to it. A supermarket is where people buy groceries, foodstuffs, produce, and the like. There are sometimes gas stations in front of supermarkets, but they don't usually sell diesel fuel unless the supermarket is also located along the edge of a highway. Most vehicles in the United States use regular unleaded gasoline. It is typically only imports and large trucks that use diesel. I wasn't trying to make you feel stupid. I just thought it was a very odd question.

 

[Hob Marshmallowfoot]

Oh sorry, I was going more for any spare gas containers laying around the cargo port (or even somewhere on the rig itself), which didn't seem inconceivable. Not like a fuel pump or anything... anyway, no harm done in asking.

As for the trcuk, I say we ditch the container unit for now unless anyone can think of a compelling reason to keep it.

 

[airwalkrr]

There are a few 1 gallon gas cans and several 1/2 gallon gas cans in the store. There are also some labeled for ethanol and kerosene.

Unless someone in the IC thread objects in the next 24 hours. I'm going to assume you are all okay with moving on to the auto parts store without any delay (i.e. no taking time to stock up on anything).

 

[Frozen Messiah]

Can you delay it a little bit for Terrence and Tom to at least meet up with the group that will be going, just incase either one of the characters wish to go with them
