Day 4 - middle of 7 of my stalker journal + Taskboard

This time, I went full in with the lighting and brought out candles to really simulate what it would be like trying to write in the dark while in the zone. I wanna experiment with glowsticks, flashlights and campfires in the future and see what that would be like

Page: Day 4 Well fuck what I said about some good Sleep. was woken up by an Emission and now I cant fucking sleep. similar topic, I need to get something that'll let me travel later into the night mr mold creases has been nagging me about checking out a place at night. fuck that, I need a respirator first Passed out again, zombies this time, being a real thorn in my side. took on a hit to try and mak some money back. bandits fucking around in cordon again. I'll deal with them and see where to go from there. I got fucked up by a group of bandits, bearly made it out. I'm still shaking because of it. I need to make it back, It's getting dark I've made it back to at least the farm trader trying to decide if I should leave stuff here and pick it up tomorrow. I really don't wanna do that tho. I'll try to slowly limp my way back to the village with the stuff. I don't fucking like this.

Page left: Day 4 Im Stuck under a bridge and Im scared. they keep coming. I need to get out get home fuck! I got the wrong group of bandits I just got back and sid just told me that those werent the group of bandits he needed dead. I nearly fucking died for fucking nothing. goddamnit. I need to patch myself up and figure shit out cause I just used up so much ammo. I need to go to garbage and do some jobs there. I need money cause m running out of food. had to resort to eating rat skewers which wasn't that bad, I've had worse. the issue was the radiation. that was the real kicker Well shit, fanatic's dead. heard a commotion outside, ran out to the road and there was his body and another guy's body. out of nowhere this huge pack of dogs coming from the dark hip shot a couple and the just disappeared like popped out of existense. I kept shooting at the dogs until I hit one that didnt disappear so I dumped my Whole mag into the fucker Page right: Day 4 Lit that little fucker up and then pulled out my shotgun to deal with the other little shit. dealt with him and then I ran over to check on fanatic. no pulse. asked hip what to do cause I really wanted to give him a proper send off. she was also pretty fucked up about the whole thing. she told me, she'd keep the body in one of the cellars for the night and first thing tomorrow, we'll get a grave cross from sid and bury him close to the village. I Took his stuff so that we could Put this in the grave as well. don't really know what I expected, this is the zone after all.

Page left: Day 5 Just finished sending him off. gave him his guns, cigs, patch and that drink I owed him. drank a bottle myself although I don't intend to start drinking regularly. I'll sober up a bit, eat something and get to work. I'll be heading to garbage today killed some zed who were being a problem to start the day off. got the reward to that Well fuck, Emission goes off right as I'm writing. the day really is off to a great start, I've been trying out a pistol a scrap together. used if on those zeds earlier. What the fuck? an Emission and a psy storm back to back? got this day is gonna be amazing isnt it? Just made it to a train hanger. apparently, this dude butcher, turned it into a hunting lodge. best news yet he isnt try to scam me out of my money buckshot here sells for 8͟7͟5͟ , way cheaper than sid. taking a quick stop before I head further north for that bandit squad. Page right: Day 5 found that bandit squad sid needed Dead. didn't even have to shoot, they were already ded when I got here. Duty took care of them, I don't really mind duty. they just seem to have a stupid goal. I found some sort of flea market as well. from what I've heard they sell guns here at night so I might crash at the train depot for the day and come back fucking hell, I just wasted so much ammo on zeds, there are way too many of them here. I'm gonna go take a snooze then check out the market up the road for some wares. this butcher guy seems nice. all he seems to want is hunt and share the art. I just fucking cant, psysucker cines out of nowhere in the dark while I was on fuck, I just killed someone, not a bandit but someone I shouldn't have. ecologist. what's fucking wrong with me. more psysuckers attacked. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight

Transcription: Page left: Day 6 oh I Just realized that it's actually the morning of my 6th day here so about half of the last page is actually on the 6th day. more mother fucking psysuckers. got attacked again early this morning and got knocked out butcher heard the commotion and dealt with them, dragged my back and gave me some food for when I woke up. shit, I really need to be more careful. Just finished a hunting Job from butcher and I finally scrounged together enough money to get myself a bag. this make carrying thing so much easier. I'll probably make the trip back to the village soon. finally made it back to the village. dealt with a bandit bastard on the way, fucker didn't see it coming. fuck, emission caught me while I was outside I barely fucking made it back in time. holed up in the farmhouse right now waiting for it to end. I have one last Job to do for the day. A fucking psystorm too!? fucking hell why does this keep happening? Emissions followed by a psystorm immediatly the zone wants us all dead Page right: Day 6 Well shit, the day's coming to an end. got myself a clean box from sid to store my food and meds from everything else. also Just spent all my money on food and water which prompted some passing stalker to comment how I should cook my own food. I don't know how to cook but I'd they're right. I spent to much money on food. I'll see if I can hunt something tomorrow.

Transcription: Page left: Day 7 a full week in the zone now and I gotta say, it's gone about how I expected except I aint dead yet. last night a couple stalkers took it upon themselves to teach me how to cook and it's suprisingly easy. I just have to invest in the ingredients and equipment, I nned a gas stove, kerosene and a real good ammount of vodka. Shit, I'm fucked, I broke my leg and arm. I need to get back to the village to patch myself up. I'm dirt broke now. I spent all my money on patching myself up and I did'nt even get any meat, fuck. I need to go to cordon to hunt, there's Just way to little to hunt here. Sold off all the junk I had to get waht little money I could at the farmhouse mechanic. this trip better pay out Well I made it to the trainyard. place is still as scrappy as ever but it "safe" either way, I gott get to work. good amount of zombies here so people want them dead. I just need to find Who wants them gone enough to pay for it Page right Day 7 Butcher wanted a couple of them gone by the road to rostok, dealt with them and suprisingly enough, it's getting easier. like sure it's still a decent bit challenging but Im actually starting to get used to it.

Day 2,3 and the early morning of 4 of my Me In The Zone run of Stalker GAMMA

Oh and here's the taskboard with me experimenting with mood lighting.

[charredpuff]

The moon, a friend. There in your darkest times, silently watching. Much like you, the moon rages against the darkness, drawing strength from a great fire beyond it's touch.

The sun is indifferent, a source of great power. It brings life and it takes. It rages against the darkness too drawing it's strength from within. To some, the sun takes. droughts and famine, skin cancer and dry fires. To the moon, the sun does not destroy. it provides strength. To creatures, It provides life and death. a balance in their hands. The sun is indifferent.
