Hey guys, we really need to start discussing episode names. Here are mine
Episode #...
* The Strong Ones... I got this name off of the… more bandit group since that was the main problem of the episode.
* The Days Before I got this name, because of our frequent use of flashbacks.
* The Road To Rome I got this name, because, (Maybe) it would be their journey to Rome.
* Not as it seems... Maybe Rome isn't as it was supposed to be?
* It's all over.. Maybe, their all done for?

Maybe Rome could be infested, and full of bandits, but still has a lot of good survivors in it. We could call the episode Survival of the Fittest(Probably not a good idea, but an idea nonetheless)

"Rise and shine." Matt awakes Alexander. "You bright eyed and bushy tailed?" Alexander yawns. "Jacksonville..." he mutters.
"Ready to lea… moreve champ?" Matt says.
"Yeah. Mom are you and Aaron staying here?" Alexander asks.
"Yes, I would feel better with Aaron in safety."
Alexander nods, and is about to leave, when all of a sudden everything goes black.
"Yes I would feel better with Alexander in safety." Gloria says.
"What's so wrong about taking him with me to Jacksonville? Gloria, today he asked me if I was going to our leave him."
Gloria gasps. "Well, I guess he can go with you, he hasn't seen his uncle in a while."
He smiles. "I'll go wake him.".... "Rise and shine sport!" Alexander awakes. "You bright eyed and bushy tailed son?"
Alexander yawns. "Yes daddy." His father begins to speak once again
"You ready champ? Ready to go to Jacksonville?"
Then it all stops. Alexander wakes up. "You ready to go to Jacksonville… [view original content]
Alexander thought for a second before speaking. "I've... been thinking about Dad. Ever since we got here." Matt looked at Alexander sympathetically, remembering Amelia and Patty for a brief second. "He was going to take you to Jacksonville? Before all this?" "Way before. He's been dead for years," Gloria corrected. "Oh. I'll, uh, keep a lookout." Matt walked away toward the alley door. Gloria and Alexander looked at each other for a brief moment. "Alexander," Gloria said, placing her good hand on Alexander's cheek. "I know how hard it is for you. I loved your father so dearly." Both began crying. For the old times, for these new times. And Alexander remembered the reason he was still alive. He realized how much he missed Danny.
He then had a sudden realization Uncle Patrick.. He might have made it... I hope aunt Lillian and little Chloe are okay.. WAIT.. Jacksonville is not that far away from Rome.. we can check to see if they're holed up there, they may even join us! I gotta go tell mom.. He then gets excited, he had never seen a familiar face aside from his mother's since the apocalypse started, he won't pass on that opportunity. "MOM!! MOM! Whaddya think about stopping at Jacksonville? Check if our family is still there, ask 'em to join us? I know it's a slim chance but we have to check if they're ok.." Gloria thinks for a little bit and says "Ok, we'll do it.. if your father was here he would've wanted that.." "Then it's settled, we'll have a pit stop at Jacksonville before heading to Rome. I'll tell Matt and then we'll go out looking for any survivors wanting to join us". "Ok... just stay safe out there.." "As always" he smiles at his mom. Alex goes to Matt and tells him about his uncle and the pit stop he wants to make at Jacksonville "I dunno.. you sure they still there.. I mean I don't wanna disappoint you, but you know how low the odds are that he survived.."
"I know, and I still wanna go there, he's a tough guy, military man, I know he made it..." "I trust you, I hope you're right about this.. anyway, you ready?" "Yeah" He says as he loads his gun. "Let's do it then.."
-SCENE SWAP-
"It's so silent... so.. dead" Alex says as they walk through the empty streets, "We haven't looked in the far side of the town, let's go a bit further" Matt says.
20 min later
Matt and Alex had been walking for some time, looking at every store and store to look for survivors who were trying to hold up somewhere, looking for companions to join them as they make their trek to Rome, but to no avail. Alex then hears a scream of pain "Did you hear that?!" "Yeah, sounded like a woman screaming, in agony I must add." "It came from this way!" "Alex says, pointing his finger to the source of the scream "LET'S GO THEN! She probably needs help!". Alex and Matt start running to the direction Alex pointed to, as they get closer to the lady, "Here it is! It's coming from that laundromat!" He says as he gets ready to leap in there "WAIT!! HIDE! There's a group in there!! Look at the window!" Matt says as they hide behind a dumpster, hoping they weren't spotted "SHIT! WHAT DO WE DO?!" they suddenly hear a deep voice, asking his group, "We put a bullet in her head! What else can we do?!" Another male voice answers. "He's right, kill me, you can't amputate my neck, can you?" The pained lady says, "Shit... you're right.. I'm sorry.." BOOM! The gun makes a loud echo as they hear the dead woman fall to the floor. "Oh man.. seems like they killed her, she probably was bitten" Alex says "Well, now's the best time to make the offer! They're weakened now aren't they?" Matt says. "Yeah.. Let's just hope they join us.. I'll take a peek.. see who's in there besides the dead lady.." Alex says as he slowly ascends and looks at the inside of the laundromat. He sees a tall, black guy with blood on his T-shirt, he probably shot the lady.. Alex thinks, He also sees another guy, black-haired, average height, brown shirt, a short, beautiful, black-haired woman at her 20's probably, and a guy with brown hair, probably at his early 40's with a kid who seems to be his son. He also sees the dead lady, an asian woman at her 30's, laying on the ground. "Ok Matt, they're 5 now, I can handle this. I'm going in with my gun holstered, I'll reason with them, appeal to them, you wait here, be my backup if they turn out to be bad, wish me luck.." He says as he opens the door. rriiinng the bell makes a small sound that makes the survivors turn around all at once, and look at him.
CHOICE #8:
A) "I mean no harm, may I speak to your leader?" B) "I came to make an offer, then I go." C) "Hello, lovely day to die in, isn't it?"
He then had a sudden realization Uncle Patrick.. He might have made it... I hope aunt Lillian and little Chloe are okay.. WAIT.. Jacksonville … moreis not that far away from Rome.. we can check to see if they're holed up there, they may even join us! I gotta go tell mom..

Is this Jacksonville the one in Alabama? If so, I'll just say I'd lived there back when I was younger and that I can help out with geography, the university there, et cetera.

I've already said, writing these characters feels to impersonal. I don't like the idea of I would introduce a character, and then people could just take that character any direction they wanted, despite my feeling on the matter.
I might post something that would follow a different system, when I have time that is. If I were to create a different thread, then each person would write from the perspective of one or more characters, with some, less important, characters being written by multiple people.

Maybe today or tomorrow. Probably today, I've been feeling incredibly sick and it's 20 degrees or so where I am, so I haven't got much to do but read or be on the internet. I've gotten into a slow bit in the book I'm reading, so... Yeah, internet.
Plus, all the titles sound cool if you only use three words, they have to because you're forced to think of something that makes sense, but fits the rule, so most of the time, it ends up sounding cool.
I just found the perfect music for when Aaron and Melody get to Rome and find out that it's not actually a safe place. I'm gonna write now. I wont be too long.
Aaron and Melody continued to travel to Rome. Aaron stared at his map, with an irritated expression. "How much further?" to which Aaron replied "I don't know. Quite a few miles at least. We could rest at Jacksonville, but who knows if that place is safer than the forest.
Aaron's stomach grumbled. "I wish we had more food..." Melody simply responded with a look of annoyance. "So do I." They continued walking for what seemed like hours, but in actuality was about half an hour. Their travels were interrupted by what they presumed were bandits robbing a family...
"Please. Leave them alone. Kill me or whatever the fuck! Just don't hurt my fucking kids!" the man pleaded to the bandits "Will you just shut the fuck up?" the only female bandit said, pushing the older man over.
"What do we do Aaron?" asked Melody "I don't fucking know... we have to help them.... right?" replied Aaron. "Wait... those guys are making noise, They'll draw any walkers away from us... maybe we could... use them as a distraction?" said Melody
"I..." Aaron muttered
Choice #9
A - (I think we should help them.)
B - (I...I guess the distraction would help. Let's go.)
NOTE - This is not connected to the previous post. Please don't continue both stories in one post, as they each contain a choice.
"We're hungry, right?" Aaron said. "Obviously these guys have to have some food or something if people are robbing them! If we save them, they might give us some food!" Melody thought this over for a second before saying, "Okay. Let's do it." The man's kids stood cowering before the three bandits. "Kim," an older man, somewhere in his 50's, said, "what do we do with 'em?" Kim replied, "Well, we gotta - ACK!" All of a sudden, a crude arrow, sharpened to a fine point, flew straight into her neck, sending blood gushing everywhere as she fell down dead. The bullied man looked up for a second to see a second arrow hit the Asian bandit in the back and a third hit the white guy in the hip. Melody and Aaron rushed onto the bandits, chopping and stabbing the two into bloody pieces before finally destroying the brain. The man and his children looked at the two in awe. "Oh, thank God Almighty y'all saved us.," the man said before passing out.

Also, as far as the story goes, Matt and Alexander are talking to a group in Jacksonville, GA (a real place, I might add), and they're trying to convince the group inside to go with Matt and Alexander to Rome. In Melody's story, Melody and Aaron kick some bandit ass. That's the basics, I think.
Comments
I like all of these except for 4 and 5. They don't sound too right to me.
I think 4 is okay, could use some tweaking.
5... I dislike. I think we should change this one.
The rest are good, I like.
Maybe Rome could be infested, and full of bandits, but still has a lot of good survivors in it. We could call the episode Survival of the Fittest(Probably not a good idea, but an idea nonetheless)
"Survival of the Fittest": is this 4 or 5?
BTW, I think a better one for Ep. 5 is "Fall of an Empire".
That's Ep 4, as a replacement for not as it seems. Rome is a horrible place which is really hard to survive in, in actuality.
Ok.
Cultist can you please edit the title description so it'll have the page number where the summary is?
I would write but i'm not completely sure how to continue on from here, so i'm waiting for someone else.
Done and done.

CHOICE #8:
"There was a black guy with blood on his T-shirt, he probably shot the lady.. "
That's racist! Just kidding... nice post though.
If you guys don't mind, I'd like to carry on the story from Aaron's perspective, so we can see more of him and Melody.
no problem
lol
I know we're not supposed to have any pre-written thoughts, but we need to find a way to get rid of Melody.
How do they meet her in the other fanfic?
Is this Jacksonville the one in Alabama? If so, I'll just say I'd lived there back when I was younger and that I can help out with geography, the university there, et cetera.
Sure, go on ahead.
Clementine's group's vehicle breaks down, and they find Melody alone in a cabin.
I'm thinking, somehow, we lose all traces to her and she is Never to be seen again....
No, it's the one near Macon and Rome, in Georgia, but thanks for the offer
Well if we do make Rome actually unsafe, full of bandits and walkers then maybe Melody and Aaron get seperated?
...You're not following the naming system. For the episodes that is.
They're all supposed to be only three words long. Just thought I'd point that out.
We have a system? I knew there was one on the other fan-fic, I never knew there was one on this one though.
Are you talking about Telltale's system?
You should post more ;(
Both Skybound and Telltale only use 3 words for the titles of both the books and episodes.
No, the one that Telltale and Skybound use. They one use 3 words for the names of the Books and Episodes.
For example, No Time Left, Days Gone By, Something to Fear, A House Divided, Fear the Hunters, A Larger World, etc.
The only one not to follow this was 400 Days, but even then... Four Hundred Days.
To be honest, it doesn't matter. This is a fan-fic, not an official Kirkman approved novel.
I've already said, writing these characters feels to impersonal. I don't like the idea of I would introduce a character, and then people could just take that character any direction they wanted, despite my feeling on the matter.
I might post something that would follow a different system, when I have time that is. If I were to create a different thread, then each person would write from the perspective of one or more characters, with some, less important, characters being written by multiple people.
You know what, that actually sounds pretty cool. Let us know when you start it!
Maybe today or tomorrow. Probably today, I've been feeling incredibly sick and it's 20 degrees or so where I am, so I haven't got much to do but read or be on the internet. I've gotten into a slow bit in the book I'm reading, so... Yeah, internet.
I know... It just irritates me. ._.
