dear_mun | On a plot idea for a PSL...

Why are people so eager to set the Dead loose?

Clearly they've got nothing better to do. Only, you know, mine actually does and shouldn't need to throw me into deadly situations with my worst enemy because it's 'interesting.'

The Dead are bad enough without having to deal with living enemies too. I'm sorry.

[He runs his hand over his face and shrugs ruefully.] Oh well, our muns seem to think we can form an alliance. I think they're rather too optimistic.

Well, cooperation is the best way to survive. That, and a large amount of running water. Unless they're the kind that aren't bothered by that.

Do they even know what they're talking about?

Hordes of shamblers? Runners? Ones with some learning capability that can use basic tools? Those weird ones from that one game, ah, you know the lot; Smokers and Hunters and Jockeys and Tanks and what have you? You see the ones about the Screamers? And does this include zombie dogs?

And then, what sort of infection is this? Radiation? Voodoo black magic curses rise-from-the-grave? Rage virus? Pharmaceutics gone wrong? Mutated strain of the flu?

I suppose it doesn't really matter. I can do zombies. Zeds are easy. A bullet through the skull is a dead undead, right?

[ Someone certainly has a vast knowledge of the undead. ]

[Oh, joy, his favorite person. Just who he wanted to deal with.]

Mine doesn't. She says her knowledge of zombies is limited to general knowledge and some terrible film called "Plan Nine from Outer Space".

But knowing my mun, I imagine she'll want something at least vaguely plausible--pharmaceutics or a virus or something. Not that zombies are all that realistic, no matter what you do.

Oh, I imagine that's right up your alley. Mindless destruction is just your cup of tea.

Jim likes zombie movies. And novels. And I'm unsurprisingly good at zombie shooters. The writer is just as well versed and states the both of them have plenty of zombie movies, fiction, and games under their belt. Also something about Umbrella Corporation-slash-Tricell, but god knows what there.

Of course zombies aren't realistic. The undead dead aren't physically viable, are they? At least pharmaceuticals and viruses give 'em a bit of a possibility but I'm more interested in whether or not these bastards are going to be a problem athletics-wise.

Right you are. At least one of us is prepared with several firearms, a large cache of ammunition, explosives, appropriated riot gear and sharpened machetes at the ready, yeah?

My mun seems to think having them be more athletic's going to be more 'fun.' Clearly, she shares your sense of humor.

[Oh, maybe that's not entirely fair, but given the last few months, he's in a bit of a temper.

As to his last line, John just shoots him an unimpressed look.]

Clearly she knows exactly what she's talking about. A bit more of a challenge, them.

[ He smiles, clearly not at all put off by the treatment he's getting. He only raises his eyebrows at that look like he can't believe John doesn't understand the use of his resources. ]

Well at least one set of us will be surviving.

Dull.

[Need he say more?]

Yes, well, not exactly my idea of a pleasant outing, either.

[He waves a hand casually.]

Boring. Predictable. Cliche. And completely over-done. Where's the creativity, John?

[John's rolling his eyes at you, Sherlock.]

Only you would complain that their particular method of destroying the world is too boring...

Oh god, scary! ...Ish.

[He tries to give her a reassuring grin, but mostly it turns out worried-looking.]

Not the best time to have dead bodies around, I'm afraid.

Well....they're still decaying, so that's sort of a good thing.

Yeah, definitely.

[Oh, well, nothing either of them can do about it. Muns are stubborn idiots.]

You been all right?

Oooo! My favorite kind of apocalypse. What kind are we talking, Johnny Boy?

[Oh, isn't this his lucky day? It's his second-least favorite person.]

Go ask your pet. His mun's the one who knows about zombie films.

[OOC: Hiya, I'm Meghan! I've heard good things about you from Cat :3]

Edited (missing punctuation) 2012-06-13 05:51 (UTC)

Mmm, Sebastian does know a lot about these things. Only because of me, of course. The mun is just as well-versed as his...Now then, what are we talking? 28 Days Later zombies or more of Romero's type of zombies? We also have tons of video games we can reference, there's so many glorious types.

[OOC: Hi! I'm Lana <3 And I hear wonderful things about your John as well :D <3 Pleasure to finally talk to you!]

[Why is he even talking to you? Seriously, you're way past psychopath and into 'awkwardly bizarre' territory. Still, he shrugs.]

Zombie films aren't really my thing--or my mun's. She's seen 28 Days Later, but she didn't like it very much. Said it was rather short] on zombies for a zombie film.

[OOC: Thanks, pleased to meet you too!]

Romero would be our best bet, but honestly I'm hoping for a little more 28 Days mixed with Left4Dead or Resident Evil. You know, special-type infected thrown in the mix. More interesting that way, even if our survival rate drops with it.

But Romero still has the issue of overwhelming us with how quickly it spread. And I'm assuming we're talking the beginnings of Resident Evil, none of this parasite shit that they're so fond of right now. Left 4 Dead though...hm. That would probably be the end of us. Sounds like fun.

True enough, but shamblers are better for successful survival. They might be able to outpace you over long distances, but that's still a right better option than having one run you down, vault a fence, and sink their teeth into your throat, yeah?

And of-fucking-course we're talking about virus Resident Evil, not the bullshit parasite thing they're doing these days.

... can you imagine trying to light up a tank? Sounds a bit fun if you ask me.
