Shaky Voicetesting Canon is iZombie

[bubblesaremagical]

I'm actually curious on how this head space thing works. Technically speaking, I'm merely a figment of your imagination probably influenced by the Limbic lobe. Don't quote me on that Neurosciences wasn't my major. Sorry, sorry that's a bit of a downer isn't it?

Would it be too much to ask for a samp-

[NO]

Right, right. It's still exciting either way. I mean not that my normal job isn't exciting. Finding a cure for zombieism, solving murder cases and preventing a possible zombie outbreak. Now, I'm living inside a head.

I do appreciate your great lengths in "researching" how I normally speak via British tv. I am worried. You're not suddenly going to redecorate your headspace with British paraphernalia, are you?

I'm not sure how this 'headspace' thing works, either. I suspect it may involve an overload of neurotransmitters in certain regions of the subject's brain... Especially since I'm sharing this space with a rude, flaxen-haired dwarf who claims to be another version of me. I'm not sure if that makes him a projection of my Id or what, but it doesn't explain how either of us got here.

[bubblesaremagical]

That might make sense if we're caused by an overstimulation since we are in essence a hallucination. But you are right in that doesn't explain everything like being in this particular place.

Nor does it explain being able to communicate, albeit in a non-verbal manner, to the others in here. They are, for the most part, excellent company. Well, the little girl is more interested in petting my beard.

[wasnt_fresh_enough]

Mmmm, it doesn't explain how we end up leaving our worlds and the work we have there, and ending up... wherever this is. Though my current... landlady, for lack of a better term, has arranged something like a cross between a bed and breakfast and a fraternity house in here.

Sounds as though you have... rather affectionate roommates. I seem to have more brain-bending companions: besides the blond me, there's some long-winded writer who claims to have created me... him... us... whatever we are. I'm not sure what to make of that.

[bubblesaremagical]

It seems to be some sort of inter-dimensional Nexus?

Well, it sounds better than my own living arrangements. Everything is more of a communal living space which is going to be a bit tricky since the others here are more of the female variety...

Well, the little one is. I don't think she understands the meaning of personal space or many other social cues. Aaah, that is certainly brain breaking. At least, aside from the dwarf, the others are human? The only other human in here is able to summon demons.

[wasnt_fresh_enough]

Ahh, yes, I think she's used a similar term, not that I put much stock in quantum physics. It only seems to replace one set of mysteries with another, a spot previously occupied by 'religion' or 'magic'.

Most of them... seem to be human, though there's a couple of delusional males who claim to be energy feeders, whatever that means, and there's a talking plush donkey that claims to be alive - probably some very sophisticated high-tech toy. ...And a pteranodon that swoops through and steals people's food when they aren't vigilant. I thought I was hallucinating the first time that thing turned up.

[Zombies? Aw, hell... Jen's faced off against a bunch of vampires in a world apart from her own once. It shouldn't be surprising that zombies must exist too. She hasn't encountered any of the mummified zombies yet, that belong to an insane ancient immortal deity--in which dwell in the darkness of her own Mun's headspace.]

The guy is nervous, and Jen is empathizing.]

I'm new to that sort of thing too. Are you okay, guy? Is it crowded over where you are?

[bubblesaremagical]

[Well, he's excited about the whole zombie thing. His friend/coworker is a zombie herself and helping her find a cure. He has been kept away from the more sadistic muses that would delight in breaking him]

It's not too bad really. It is a tad crowded, but the company is good. There is an abundance of tea which I find surprising since some of them are not entirely human.

[jen_tate]

[Friendly zombies would be better than the ones who would go after your brains! She’s seen a few movies about the commonplace ones. Jen is more than capable of kicking bad zombie ass though, as well as most bad muses out there...

Both her expression and reply are sincere.]

That’s good. At least you have someplace to get cozy! I’ve already met a guy who wears glasses. He had a lot to tell me about our head-space nexus. And, there’s this girl I also met... [Her smile starts to look sad now.] Her father died, not long ago. And it breaks your heart, to see such a cutie grieve.

[Jen won’t say anything about not being a hundred percent human herself, for a good reason. This god-like force of chaos she’s defied multiple times may go after anyone who knows too much about her, and her boyfriend. Abaddon’s such a bastard, so she wouldn’t put that past him.

She's also willing to protect poor Nana as well, the mutant girl whose father had died.]

Zombie outbreak? Doesn't sound like all that much fun.

[bubblesaremagical]

Well, maybe not fun exactly. We're trying to prevent the outbreak by trying to find out what caused the whole "zombieism" which came from an odd combo of a tainted energy drink and a drug called Utopium.

On the brighter side, we do get to solve murders since Liv gets vision from the victim after eating a little of their brains.

[drforehead]

That sounds... interesting. To say the least. Best of luck with it.

The worst I've had to deal with out here was a possible Influenza outbreak.

[scales_and_silence]

Viral, fungal, or magical? The potential outbreak, I mean.

[bubblesaremagical]

Viral mostly likely being speared via bites or scratches. There already quite a number of them. Not all of them friendly.

[scales_and_silence]

[Interested Scientist Face.]

Well, at least you're not dealing with an insect vector, then. Restricted to mammals?

[bubblesaremagical]

Yes, it can only be passed from human to human, but not human to animal or animal to human.

[This he learned after being bit by a zombie rat]

[scales_and_silence]

Huh. That's a new one.

Admittedly, I'm not a virologist, but I did deal with a lycanthropy-W outbreak in the last year. It will go from one species to another, but like rabies, only infects mammals.

Unlike rabies, it causes multiple fits of shapeshifting and murderous rage before it kills the host.

[bubblesaremagical]

To be fair, most people didn't know zombieism was an actual possibility. Well, I did tell the CDC, but they didn't like my continuous warnings. So, I got canned.

[He sort of became excited about the whole lycanthropy thing, but the whole being less like movies and more deadly puts a damper on things. Still he's interested in learning about these things]

Really? I would never have thought it would have behaved like rabies.

[scales_and_silence]

As far as we can tell, it may be a mutation of it- though that's really just a working hypothesis. There's an antidote with an approximately 50% success rate that uses rabies vaccine as one of its base ingredients, so it's a fairly probable hypothesis.

[izombie]

[ don't mind liv ravi, she's just totally ignoring everything you just said because she's that excited to see you! ]

Finally! It took you long enough to show up!

[bubblesaremagical]

[Oh, he is happy to see a familiar face]

Liv! Sorry, I would have been here sooner, but it seems someone is too picky with names.

[Oi! I could've just gone with arfvaderuser]

this is so late! i'm sorry!

[izombie]

[ she grins. ]

And you wouldn't be?

Don't worry. I'm now late too.

[bubblesaremagical]

Well, I suppose I would be rather picky about it. It did take me a while to pick a suitable handle for my were-terrier.

[wealldosillythings]

[RP Logic dictates that two English citizens with degrees in Dead People must find each other, so here she is.]

If they do redecorate it may not even be intentional. I rolled over one morning and suddenly I was drowning in CHRISTMAS and some new musical that's all the rage.

What I wouldn't give for a taste of home.
