Canon is Zombies! Run; still homeless.

...I don't want to talk about Archie, mun.

Abel needs me, now more than ever. And I hate to leave Sam and Maxine and- and everyone else out of the loop. But maybe you're right. Maybe... maybe going to a game would be the vacation I need after...

After what Van Ark's done.

If you think going to a game's gonna be a vacation, pal, I've got some prime real estate you might be interested in.

[abeltorun]

It beats the zombie apocalypse, I'll tell you that much.

[sixthanimorph]

Zzombies as in brainwashed Haitians or zombies as in eat-your-brains undead?

[abeltorun]

Eat-your-brains kind and chase-you-down kind. It's all we can do just to keep our heads above water some days.

[sixthanimorph]

Holy hell, zombies run? I thought they were slow and lurching and all that.

[abeltorun]

Not all of them. Some bastard figured out how to make them run. Make them jump. And then he sicced them on Abel Township. On me. On my friends.

[And then he killed one of them, just for good measure. God, Van Ark is a dick.]

[sixthanimorph]

Supercharged zombies. Yeeeeah, I can see why you'd want a break from that.

Still, a game might not be the vacation you're hoping for. Take it from someone who's been there.

[abeltorun]

You have, huh? [Runner 5 raises his eyebrows.] Any specific one to make you say that, or just in general sucktitude?

[sixthanimorph]

Take your pick: the first time was a spaceship prison, the second time was basically real life Mortal Kombat.

[David smiles humorlessly.]

Needless to say, they both sucked pretty hardcore.
