"God I hate the news...and tv in general..." Antwone Fisher mumbled as he turned off his TV. There was never anything good on, and all politicians ever did was wage war against each other. It was the same on every single channel. No one was truly unbiased. Everyone had their own agenda, but one day..Antwone would change that. One day he would own a News station and would insure that Americans received nothing but the unfiltered truth.
"Mmm..baby, es ist frühmorgendlich...Kommst du ins Bett gehen..." came the words of a soft voice from behind Antwone. The boy turned around and smiled softly as he gazed down upon his girlfriend. The two of them had dated since Freshman year. Now mid level sophomores, the happy couple spent most of their nights..and mornings inside Antwone's comfy one bed, one bathroom, apartment. "Tut mir leid meine schöne Frau. Ich will nicht Sie..uh...aufwecken?" Antwone blinked. Slowly, the gorgeous dark brown eyes of his girlfriend peeled open. "Mm..we need to seriously work on your German." she smiled while cupping Antwone's cheeks. "Your French and Spanish need work as well." she added with a soft giggle. Antwone closed his eyes and sighed in depression. "Amodini you know that I've been trying...I thought I had gotten better..." Antwone sighed again. "Nope. You still suck." Amodini giggled. Antwone released a low huff. "Well, not everyone can follow in the footsteps of Columbia's infamous Linguistics Queen. I mean you speak what..five languages already???" Antwone blinked. "Seven including Latin and Arabic." Amodini corrected.
Antwone rolled his eyes. He was about to move off the bed, but suddenly became trapped by the slender legs of his girlfriend. Amodini smiled innocently as her legs coiled around Antwone's waist, pinning their bodies together. "Well I'm up now. You wanna fool around?" she asked. Her voice held the perfect balance of seduction and need. "Sorry babe, I gotta go meet Jason." Antwone smiled. Amodini's eyes suddenly glared daggers up at her boyfriend. "Seriously?" she huffed while unhooking her legs. "That fool is a cancer to you and this university. When are you going to ditch that retarded Red Neck?" she growled. Antwone's brow raised. "Uh...Jason's people are from Jersey..I dont think they count as Red Necks.." he blinked. "Fine, Yankee then." Amodini frowned. "No...his family dont really consider themselves to be yankees either. Actually...I dont know what Jason is..."
Amodini released a deep sigh. Her boyfriend had so much potential! She honestly believed that some day he'd be running his own News station. Naturally, she'd be his leading bilingual Reporter. Yet, people like Jason Stackhouse continued to drag Antwone down. "Whatever." The Indian beauty pouted. "Oh babe.." Antwone smiled. He leaned in and placed a soft kiss upon his girl's cheek. "I know you hate Jason's guts but he's my best friend. And..to be fair..I did promise to help him. He'll flunk economics if I dont save him." Antwone stated as he rose up from the bed and made his way towards the bathroom. Amodini watched her man walk away. The brunette rolled her eyes and pulled the blankets back over her.
"Its freaking Econ 1001...who the hell fails a freshman class..." she thought to herself.

A few hours later,
Antwone walked quickly through campus. It was more or less a normal day at Columbia University. As usual, the school crawled with rich little brats who sought to live up to, or fail, the expectations of their parents. The Atlanta native had worked hard to secure his place at Columbia. Unlike most of the rich brats who could live off their family names, Antwone took his college education very seriously. That morning, he was suppose to meet Jason inside of Starbucks at 9. His best friend had pleaded for Antwone to share the notes that he still had from taking Econ 1001 last semester. Antwone gazed down at his watch as he picked an empty booth. As usual, he was right on time, but Jason was no where to be seen.
About 30 minutes later, Jason came strolling into the cafe. "Hey brother! How's it hangin?" Jason smiled. Antwone sent a hard glare straight into the eyes of his best friend. "Fuck you. Why the hell can you never arrive on time? You said meet me at Starbucks at 9. Well guess what time it is?" Antwone growled. However, when he noticed that Jason had a pink scarf tied around his arm, Antwone's face turned blank. "Um...whats with the scarf?" he blinked. "Oh this?" Jason grinned from ear to ear. "Well, do you remember Rebecca Wilson?" Jason smirked. "You dont mean
Screamer...do you?" Antwone blinked again. "Oh yea brother! Lets just say that things got a bit heated last night. Your boy got some major tail, but when I woke up...well I was still tied to the bed and she was gone. I managed to free my left arm, but damnit she tied the right one waaaay too tight."
Antwone pressed his palm into his face. He could only wonder how drunk Jason had been the night before.
Screamer was renowned for running from bar to bar late into the night. She got her nickname from her nightly confrontations with Campus PD. "Anyway...can we start this?" Antwone sighed. "Well just hold on there Cowboy! I invited a girl I know who's in the class. You've seen her around." Jason smiled. Antwone frowned a bit. "Wait..you mean the quiet one who sits two seats behind you?" he asked. Jason nodded. "Yep thats her. She also came to Jack Miller's party about two weekends ago. Ya know, if you play your cards right I bet she'd go for you." Jason winked while giving Antwone a nudge with his elbow. "Jason..you know I'm dating Amodini." Antwone frowned. Jason raised his eyes brows. "Oh..jeez bro my bad. I thought you had kicked Lieutenant Buzz Kill to the side ages ago..." Jason shrugged. "Seriously?" Antwone sighed in disbelief. "Oh yea I'm serious. I'm telling you Ant, that woman is gonna end up pulling out yer heart in some sick Indian-beef saving ritual." Jason stated. "Dude..thats racist as fuck. And, I've told you told a million times to stop trashing her." Antwone growled. Jason held his hands up in defense. "Ok Ok my bad. I know how you like em, all tight-asses and what not." Jason chuckled. Antwone was about to smack him right in the middle of the cafe when he noticed Jason's friend walking through the door...
ooc: Ok so I'm setting it up maybe two days before the outbreak. Your character is the one the boys are meeting in starbucks. Feel free to add in different characters if you want.
Oh, and what would you think about the 'virus' mutating later on in the rp? I thought maybe the zombies could start becoming more organized/intelligent. Maybe after a while of feeding on humans they could mutate and slowly become the 'zombies' that were in Will Smith's: I Am Legend.
Also, I apologize if you speak German and noticed how I butchered those sentences. I'm still learning ><
