Oh, and thanks for the new icons too. They're nicer 'n a milk-washed hog.

[[Suddenly a wild, large, cruise ship known as the Titanic appears]]

...Okay. This is.

Different?

I guess I got a big ol' boat now?

[[Also, it talks!]]

My, how rude! I'm not yours!

...I got a talkin' boat.

[He pulls the cigar from his mouth and looks at it. What's IN this one?]

[[Oh, you know. The death of hundreds of people who cruised on it... Nothing major, really.]]

Why, yes! I talk! But I'm not yours!

[SEEMS A LITTLE TASTELESS. Like RPing Jonestown.]

Wonder what I'm gonna do with my new talkin' boat.

[[I know, I know. Still, I'm sure someone out there has done worse.]]

Are you not listening to me!? I'm not YOURS! You need to learn some respect, mister!

Well isn't that sweet.

Ain't it just? I'm a soft touch, I admit it.

Yes, you just scream warm and fuzzy.

And I'm dead handsome too!

Get it? Dead? Dead handsome? I'm funny.

A laugh riot.

You're actually not looking so good over there.

What? This?

[He waves over himself, indicating his kinda-dead state.]

Yeah, it happens. Lookin' for a cure, though. S'all good, pardner.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you can't cure dead.

That's usually the end of the line.

And yet, here I am, walkin', talkin', shootin' the shit with you.

I fell down but then I got back up. Now I just gotta figure out the whole 'stop decaying' part and we're golden.

[He can't really argue with the obvious there.]

I've seen people lose bits of themselves all over the place. Duct tape seemed to help.

Yeah, got a guy who put his fingers back on that way. S'real handy stuff. Haha, handy! I'm still funny.

[He can't roll his eyes because his face is a mask, but man if he was able to he so would be right now.]

So there's a bunch of people like you falling apart all over the place?

Not a whole bunch. Well, not ones that still got their wits, anyhow. There are a whooooole buncha zed. But we ain't like 'em.

I assume those are the mindless eating people kind of zombies?

You got it, pardner. We Rotten keep to ourselves mostly. Ain't lookin' to bite no one. Just get ourselves fixed up.

Then what do you eat?

Meat.

Whatchu so quizzical for? Y'ain't so pretty yourself but I ain't said nothin' cuz my mama raised me right.

I think it's in my best interest to know if someone might be going to take a bite out of me in the near future. Though I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sure I taste terrible.

Nice to see politeness carries on beyond the grave.

You look it. But naw, we ain't had a bite in ages. We ain't keen on makin' more zed or even more Rotten.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Good. Where I'm from is already overrun with mindless hostile zombies. Except they're still alive.

How's that? Livin' but still zed? I ain't followin'. They like the kind of in that 28 Days flick? All runnin' and screamin'?

Yes and no. Their brains have been melted by sonic technology so they're not really people anymore. They just run around grunting and attacking everything.

They make a really satisfying squish noise when you kill them though.

Hey now. The zed are as dumb a barrel o' hair, but they used to be people. Sounds like yours used to be too. Gotta at least treat 'em with some respect, like y'all would the dead. S'only right. Separates us from the animals 'n all.

They used to be, but they're not anymore.

[Not that he'd care if they were.]

I'll try to cave their skulls in more respectfully in the future.

[No he won't.]

It's the thought that counts.

What's yer name, stranger? Don't think I got it. I'm Jesse.

I don't have one.

And don't tell me that's weird, every other human here has made me well aware of that fact.

You ain't human, pardner?

Demon.

Someone's demon, specifically.

Guess that explains your manners. You hauntin' a specific person? Or zed?

Why's a demon out huntin' zed in the first place?

Yeah. One of the few who's still alive in that part of town.

And I'm not hunting anything. I just get bored.

Always thought demons were the type to strike down people, not witless cattle shaped like people.

They're not demons, I am.

Unless you're calling me witless cattle. And I wouldn't recommend that.

Naw, I mean people bein' the usual target of demons rather than zed. C'mon, son, keep up.

There's not a whole lot of people left for me to strike down, if that's what you're getting at.

Guess they won't see me coming then right?

Fair nuff.

You're a funny character, I'll give you that. Zed-killin' demon. I've seen it all now!

Considering the types of people and things that seem to gather around here, that's probably nothing.

[Also no one has called him a 'funny character' before and he doesn't really know how to react to that.]

[That's our Jesse; not all dead, not all there in the head. Why else would someone in the year of our Lord 2018 dress like a cowboy, let alone act like one? Maybe he meant 'haha funny like a clown'.]

Maybe, but it's sure a hell of a thing to come across back where I come from. Maybe not so much in

nexus_sages, but. Y'know. Lemme enjoy the novelty.

Glad I'm entertaining.

Is that where your mun stuck you?

Yupppp. Somethin' about the old version on el-jay being her stompin' grounds. She's been as giddy as a filly since the remake showed up and has been playin' my video game into the ground, so this course o' things seems only natural.

I know how that goes, unfortunately.

[His mun also plays his game forever and ever. AS IF ANYTHING COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE IN A LINEAR GAME WHERE HE'S SORT OF THE TUTORIAL.]

Mundanes can be incredibly nostalgic for things like that. I don't get it.
