on life @ ataraxion & hollyheights. canon is zombieland.

[cons]

Three things:

a) This whole meaningful friendship thing stops with Neal. There's the cutoff, right there. No more Carebear stuff.
b) A serial killer? That's who I'll be living with (and "MARRIED" to) in Creepy-Pleasantville, Holly Heights, Nowhere? Well done, dude, you've finally managed to shock me with the amount of fuckery you're willing to have me deal with. Fortunately he's hot, so I'll let this one go, for now.
c) And here's the most important one: find my sister. I want her on the ship with me, or in Creepyville. Got it? I'm tired of worrying about whether or not the whole 'time freezes while I'm gone' thing is true. Just-- Just get here there. Please.


I wouldn't hate if you managed to find Tallahassee and Columbus, too.

But only so I'm not the only jerk trying to explain what zombies are to the surprising amount of pre-21st century people we've got in space with us. Yikes.

[hortus]

...you're going to marry a serial killer?

And he is going to live with us?

[WOW NOT. COOL.]

[cons]

It's all... speculative.

[ n e r v o u s ]

We'll be fine. He has a code.

Not that we know that.

Not that we'll know he kills people either, but. Well, this place is weird like that.

[hortus]

Um...okay then!

I still don't think this is a good idea.

[forthetwinkies]

'Fortunately he's hot, so I'll let this one go, for now.'

And people say I don't have my priorities straight.

[cons]

-- We're just sharing a house, it's not like I have to get along with him.

[ POINTED LOOK AT YOU TWINKIEHASSEE. ]

That said, it's a bonus that his face is not horrible to look at.

[forthetwinkies]

[HEH WHAT POINTED LOOK]

Yeah. Pret-ty sure you don't "just" share a house with a serial killer, but at least you'll know who's responsible for the heads in the fridge and all that.

[consulting]

You and I should both agree to stop doing meaningful things with Neal.

[cons]

[ so many inappropriate comments she could make. about "SEEING" each other and "BUT WHAT'S THE POINT IF IT'S NOT MEANINGFUL" but instead she's just kinda staring for a second, willing them all to not make themselves known in the form of word vomit.

-- ah okay good there we go. ]

He's going to teach me how to dance and then I'm never talking to him about feelings again. Yup.

[caulrophobic]

Married, that's-

[ wow someone was holding something and definitely dropped it but caught it but then almost dropped it again ]

Kind of makes you wonder what's worse - the guys who don't talk to you or, uh. The ones who are supposed to know better who kill anyway?

[cons]

... Yeah.

[ hhhhhrrrrrkk wichita doesn't feel guilty over anything, but well if she did, she might be feeling it now. but she so doesn't. which is why she's staring at the point where his hood meets the -ie near his collar instead of his face. ]

I don't usually have a problem getting guys to talk to me, so.

[ missing the point on purpose just to antagonize? yup. ]

[caulrophobic]

... Yeah!

[ So that's helpful. And by helpful he means please step on my heart more than you already have because we can see if it squishes. ]

[ They do. Columbus has seen overzealous zombie heart squishing. ]

[ So in light of an awkward thought process, he's going to divert with a super awkward question too. ]

... Is he famous? At least? Like. On the news. I guess you'd have news in that place too.

[littlerockstar]

Carebear?

Ew.

[Because clearly that's way worse than the serial killer thing.]

s-sorry about this i can't even

[cons]

[ WHOA HOLY LORD WICHITA just wants to hug you forever oh god it's been months and months and months and spaceships are so weird little rock you don't even know it's so hard to run a damn con when you have nowhere to run after and there are people like them there but mostly they aren't and holly heights is seriously the weirdest town and nobody knows what zombies are nobody they don't understand why she's weird about being in the middle of crowds of people and why she has a loaded gun in her room but no other possessions and why she uses a town name instead of her real name nobody gets it but now you're here and even if it's only here it's better than nowhere and

wichita's kind of rocking forward on her toes a bit, like there's some kind of magnetic pull between herself and her sister who she's never spent this much time apart from ever.

somehow, she eventually manages to talk; ]

I know, he brings out the worst in me.

[ good start ]

He's like us, though. I mean, he gets it.

[ she made a friend, she trusts him. wants Little Rock to meet him, even. well, maybe not yet. they might not be at that level of trust yet. ]

lol. holy crap XD don't get offended if mine isn't as long, i'm nervous now /stubs toe in dirt

[littlerockstar]

Nah.

[Little Rock shakes her head dismissively.]

We're better.

[Not that she's even met this guy, but they so totally are.]

So just clean out his bank account and get out of there.

[She doesn't quite get it. Cause as far as she knows, her sister is getting some sleep and trying to make sure no one sees her holding Columbus' hand while she and Tallahassee take the first round of zombie-watch. But she's still happy to see you.]

[wombats]

At least he's "hot". [ yeah, okay, he's just going to make a face at that. so much for his attempt at suave sarcasm. ]

[cons]

... Not as hot as you?

[ smiiiile? ]

[wombats]

Nice save. [ not really, but he'll let it slide because, well, he wants to, okay? sigh. but he's still skeptical. ]

Maybe he'll take up a new profession. [ chase doesn't quite believe himself, really. ]

[tightsofmight]

The serial killer is hot so it's all okay.

[There is just a dead eyed stare.

Then a dramatic shake of the head.]

Gurlfriend...

[cons]

[ just shoving you by the shoulder now, Parker. ]

I didn't say it's all okay, I said I'd let it go.

There's a difference.

[tightsofmight]

[ow.]

And he'll let...

No. That joke is beneath me.

But seriously, does divorce not exist? I mean you might be a pro championship zombie killer but human killers are kind of a different breed entirely.

[kingofbabylon]

You should make handpuppets. For the explaining. Just have a little show you put on. [ his ideas are the best, don't even ]

[cons]

I'm not really sure there's an accurate way of depicting zombies in puppet form. [ yes, that is the flaw there] And I'm no good with character voices, they'd all sound the same.

[kingofbabylon]

You just need some pieces falling off and ketchup. Christ, get a little creative. [ you are just not trying hard enough okay ] Acting is a technical skill, you can learn it, I have faith in you.

[became]

I still object to 'Carebear', if that's up for debate.

[cons]

Might be. [ look look it's my sister do you see her do you see the mini-me do you ]

But Neal Carefrey sure isn't, that one's clever. Neal Carefree. Also came up with the Duke of Feels after that, but I kinda wanna save that one for a rainy day.
