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.]

[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]

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.

[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.

[consulting]

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

[cons]

We'll be okay. I promise.

[ can you feel that? that is wichita's Big Sister tendencies looming over you. loooming. ]

He seems pretty normal, anyway, besides that stuff.

[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?

[hortus]

[wow, this big sister stuff is kind of unfamiliar, but jade is pretty cool with it!]

I guess as long as he doesn't kill people it's fine?

[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.

[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. ]

[cons]

Not really under our control, unfortunately. But if I can keep you safe, then whatever. [ the go apeshit, dexter is implied. not that he's here. whatever. ]

[hortus]

Well, I'll keep you safe, too!

[jade can do this.

she's damn good with a gun.

she's got this.]

[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.]

[cons]

[ IS SHE? these are things wichita needs to know. ]

Sounds like a sound plan to me.

[hortus]

[clearly they need to talk about guns.]

Great!

I mean, what are friends for if not to protect each other from serial killers?

[dorky jade, right here.]

[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. ]

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. ]

[cons]

... Not as hot as you?

[ smiiiile? ]

[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.

[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...

[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]

Nope. I mean, to both. Holly Heights is this weird little-- I mean it's untouched by the virus, Ohio. It's ridiculously clean, and normal, and... It can't be real, it's just not. Which means it doesn't have real news either.

But! My neighbor? Is Iron Man. So I think it's safe to say you'd like it there.

[ actually, now that she's thinking about it..]

Yeah, wow. Holly Heights might be your ideal Barbie Dream Town. Everything's neat and perfect and tidy. No zombies. Hot food. Clean bathrooms. Showers.

[ k yeah it's not so bad there. ]

[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.
