☠Fifth Reel: UGH, zombies... [PHONE]

[redcinemareel]

I simply detest soulless automatons. What's worse is that they are actually intelligent. Quite a nuisance.

If anyone needs me, I'll be...indisposed.

[Elmer's looking out the front window, keeping an eye on the neighborhood.]

Suppose we ought to bar the windows and doors and such? I think I've seen enough zombie movies to keep us safe.

[redcinemareel]

[Just after placing the phone down, Grell glances over to Elmer.]

You're not going to cheer them up?Perhaps you are one of them!

[keep_smiling]

[Naturally, he laughs at that.] Oh come on, even I know zombies aren't in their right minds. Just interested in eating brains and all that.

[redcinemareel]

These wretched beings seem far more sentient than what I've encountered!

[keep_smiling]

Hadn't they just made a movie about ones like this? What was that...

Well, what should we do? Besides barricade ourselves in the house, I mean.

[Enjoy being imprisoned with this guy.]

[redcinemareel]

I wouldn't know.

We'll need weapons. LOTS of weapons.

[She hasn't thought of that. Yet.]

[onemantankapocalypse]

Indisposed, huh?

[redcinemareel]

Does that excuse not satisfy your pallet?

[onemantankapocalypse]

Not aiming to be satisfied. I can tell you're not saying the whole truth though.

[redcinemareel]

What good is the truth if no one will believe it in its entirety?

[onemantankapocalypse]

It's a good bit of information, whole or not, in this kind of situation.

[unexculpable]

Be careful. The fact that they're actually intelligent is more than enough reason to stay on your guard.

[redcinemareel]

Precisely. But I don't plan to disclose my location to anyone until this epidemic has run its course.

[unexculpable]

Shouldn't take too long knowing this place.

[redcinemareel]

I do hope so. I have a job to do.

[spinningorange]

They're easy to avoid if you can fly!

(Not everyone can do that, Chen...)

[redcinemareel]

And what makes you think most residents can gly?

[spinningorange]

Well, plenty of them can fly! It's really easy and lots of fun!

[redcinemareel]

You seem delusional. What color is your jacket?

[spinningorange]

I'm not wearing a jacket...

[thecoolexec]

Indisposed? By all means, continue with your Sudoku while all hell breaks loose.

[redcinemareel]

What the Bloody Hell is sudoku, and why would I care about the well being of anyone but myself?

[thecoolexec]

Valid questions. I have no idea what Sudoku is. Some kind of Japanese puzzle? Crack cocaine that you ingest through a pencil? Who knows.

As for question B? Well, I can't answer that for you if you don't already know. Here's a good reason -- the more people that go down, the easier it'll be for them to get back up again, kick down your door and make a sandwich outta your ass.

[redcinemareel]

Never did understand their culture. It matters not, I suppose.

They'll be far too busy with picking up the pieces to deal with a single being. I'll take my chances, dear.

[thecoolexec]

Huh. Guess I missed that lecture in Braindead Cannibalism 101.
