Objective:
Create a story about our main character, Skyler, by playing out his actions. You can write as much or as little as you prefer to embellish his story and perhaps define what has happened to him after being bitten by the spider and drinking something from his parent's medicine cabinet.
Players can see a spreadsheet with Skyler's inventory and health here (below the list of player names):

Simplified Delegations to @happyme
Get votes roughly 10 times the value of your delegation. (I can vote twice if you exceed my VP.) Those who play the zombie adventure game and delegate have been getting just over 20X their delegation value beyond what the other players get! I try to give as much as I possibly can, but as more people delegate, I'll need to cut back the VP to accommodate the extra daily votes.

6th
Skyler runs into his house and looks around. He sees his Mum, near the window that looks onto Billy's house, she's own the phone and seems panicked. He can see his Dad who looks on confused and his little sister who is just playing... Skyler feels the love and emotion from years of a happy childhood... for a second... until the rage and the hurt comes over him.
He's still injured from fighting Billy's dad, and is sure that if he drains his sister he'll be better again. He lunges at her throat:
@rollthedice
@rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 1.
Skyler's Dad scoops up his sister before Skyler can get to her and kicks Skyler away with his foot.
"Son, son, what's wrong with you son?" His Dad screams... Skyler screams back in response "BLLLLLOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD"
2nd
While Skyler loved billy he didn't seem to feel upset as he walked over his fading body. Skyler was just angry that billy's dad made him do it. Skyler wasn't going to let him get away with it @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 2.
Billy's dad parrys Skyler away and in his rage swings at him @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
Skyler is knocked to the floor (4/6 HP), suddenly the magnitude of his actions have come over him, he looks at the door and thinks about running away and crying, he then looks at Billy's dad.
#battle
Since others have already added to the story, we have to stay with what we have now, but just to clarify for everyone:
Action 1 was to attack the dad and the dad attacked back. Skyler still has one more action that you can use if you want to. I suppose it would be wise to announce the end of your turn so that the next person knows for sure that you will not be adding any more comments. We will get the bugs worked out soon enough and the system will hopefully run smoothly.
Okay, I didn't want to attack again and only on the second turn Skyler be down to 2/6hp as then even if the next attack hit the farther would still be on 1/2 hp. So I left it to the next player to decide to run or not.
Also others have attacked and not rolled for victims defence, could we have some clarity on this imo Skyler should be attacked by his sister once for upto 1hp damage and Billy's dad for upto 2hp, leaving him possibly on 1hp? If I knew I could attack twice before Billy's dad defended I would have.
Billy's father is dead, so can't attack. Billy is dead. The mother was not attacked, so she does not attack.
Back at Skyler's house, the sister was the only one attacked, but the attack failed, so I let that one go, but you are correct; the sister should have attacked back. Instead, the father kicked Skyler away. I left it as is so that the story wouldn't get messed up, because that is the objective of the game. I'm being very liberal about the attack rules, especially since we are at the very beginning and hurt quite badly and having been asked to alter the rules to have all adults do 2 damage made it worse for Skyler.
Let's see how it goes. We may need to adjust the number of kills required to gain back hit points. This is a test run, so rules need to be tweeked.
4th
moar Skyler moaned, licking his lips, not noticing the slight pain as hulis sharpened teeth flaked and became like small, knife like blades...
all he knew was that he was hungry... and he could hear a delicious, delicious heartbeat nearby !
Skyler moved back into the hallway, stopping to rip off an ear from Billy's corpse, which stard back, blankly, as if still shocked at his sudden demise. (Skyler moves one room closer to the mother)
humming to himself, Skyler moves closer to the door to the master bedroom... he can hear ragged breaths from inside !
Skyler claws delicately at the door, opening it on squeaking hinges... the breaths grow faster...
He hears a strange noise. beep ... beep
Billies mom is trying to call for help using the phone a voice whispers in Skyler ear... a voice that grows smaller and smaller as hus desire to Feast, to tear and rip and maim and KILL grows stronger and stronger...
(next turn well see what happens to the mother !)

oh ok... Well have the door opening a de ind action then. she is trying to hide after all

Skyler can move any number of spaces in 1 action, so unless you chose to make the door-opening a second action, you could have taken one more yourself. Inside the house, I leave it to the players to decide if you want doors that close or to have the entire house open. That's why I didn't put any walls inside the houses.
5th
Skyler suddenly becomes aware of the room around him. He sees the furious fearsome bloody face of a clown in the mirror at the doorway.
He smashes it, bloodies his hand, and runs from the house back to his own where he finds himself drawn to his own mother.

Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 1.
1st
Skyler looks down at his upright middle finger with the bandage on it and holds it out to Billy and asks, "You mean, like, give them all 'the finger'? Yea. I think that's a good idea. For some strange reason, I seem to want to hate living things and crave blood."
Billy laughs nervously and asks if Skyler is just kidding and playing the part, but in the next instant he finds Skyler attacking him!
@rollthedice for the attack.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 4.
Skyler tore at Billy's neck with his shark-like teeth and blood began spurting out of the hole that remained where flesh once was. Billy screams and then slumps to the floor, his body twitching while blood continues to spurt out with each pump of his heart. Skyler has just murdered his best friend! What a way to start a Halloween night!
Skyler looks around and sees both of Billy's parents looking on in disbelief. They are standing in separate doorways, frozen by what they just witnessed. Skyler seems possessed and without hesitation, proceeds to attack Billy's father who is looking on from the doorway of the adjacent room. Skyler moves to the father.
(I'll assume the move is required and that means my turn is over.)
3rd
Skyler rolled over onto his hands and knees, looking at Billies dad with blood tinged eyes, a low growl could be heard coming from deep in Skyler, a feral growl of a caged trapped animal. Billy's dad took a half step back on seeing the red of Skylers eyes and hearing the low rumbling growl that sent shivers down his spine.
Shaking off the pain of being knocked back by Billy's dad, like a wet mongrel,
@rolltwodice, Skyler hunches back and launches at Billy's dad. Going for the deep throbbing pulse in his neck...edit: I think rolltwodice is taking a nap
@rollthedice first attack
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 6.
Second attack - @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
Skyler, sits back on his haunches licking his lips and savoring the taste of the revenge he took on Billy's dad, Skyler was no longer going to be pushed and shoved around by any Adults anymore.
