Potato Chip Zombie

[answerer_sword]

1. Outside the Hospital (backdated to January 31)

[Out of all the mutilated patients who have been dumped in the hospital from the factory, there is one woman that looks out of place, even among them. Physically, she appears unscathed, except for the blood trickling down her head and face. She is smiling blankly, as if she does not notice the injuries, nor even the rest of the world around her. However, she is clearly not a drone.]

[Every once in a while, she spouts a few lines of cryptic dialogue, seemingly speaking to herself. Her hands dart around and she paces before the hospital, as if pantomiming something. Sometiems, after finishing up her dialogues, she laughs a strange, echoing laugh.]

[Those that get close enough may recognize her as Bazett, but they would be wrong. In truth, there is nothing of the "real" Bazett left in this woman. Her brain had been replaced with a potato battery powered chip playing Leave it to Beaver reruns. The thing walking around is nothing more than a zombie, a husk.]

2. Action; all around town

[Bazett, or to be more accurate, her husk, is wandering around Mayfield. Without a brain, she cannot recognize her house. Instead, her body is pantomiming the actions of the episodes being played by the chip. Blood is still pouring down her head, the wounds left untreated.]

Pot roast, potato pancakes, and what's the big idea? 

[She might invade people's houses, or assault people trying to use them to play out the latest action being shown by the chip. If anyone tries to talk to her, she will answer with quotes from the show depending on the member of the Cleaver family that she believes she is at the moment.]

Hey!

[ Firo spots Bazett and races over, cursing quietly. He's already had one friend horrible injured this week and he's not so keen on another one getting hurt. Skidding to a halt, he lightly taps her arm to get her attention. ]

Are you alright?

[Bazett turns toward him, a blank smile on her face.]

Dinner a little late tonight, dear?

[She pauses a for a little bit.]

Patience, Papa, had to straighten up my dressing table. Someone, or something, tipped over my bottle of hand lotion. Tatter was spilt all over and my pancake makeup is missing.

[justdumbluck]

...Wait, what?

[ There was just... so much strangeness in what she just said he's not sure what to ask about first. He quickly shakes his head and tries not to think about that. Maybe blood loss has made her loopy, in which case she really needs to get patched up now. ]

You look like you're hurt. What happened?

[answerer_sword]

[She gives him a cocky smile in response.]

Now don't tell me someone's trying to sabotage your natural, heaven-sent beauty.

[justdumbluck]

[ It takes him a good couple moments to splutter out an answer. ]

Wh-what the hell are you talkin' about?

[answerer_sword]

[She laughs a strange, echoing laugh.]

Wonder if the boys could’ve had something to do with it.

[With that, she reaches out to stroke his face.]

Boy, that's a beaut.

[She gives off a small whistle, as if impressed.]

[justdumbluck]

What the-? Hey-!

[ Firo stumbles back, trying to swat her hand away. Instinct is telling him to just punch her and run, but they're friends and he can't leave without trying to help her. Eying her warily, he takes a deep breath and holds his hands up, ready to defend if she tries something like that again. ]

Bazett. What the hell is goin' on?

[answerer_sword]

[She looks up at him nervously.]

Think the cake will hide it?

[Her expression changes to an amused one.]

Pancake. Well, you can't go down a circle looking like that. Get heck for fighting.

[justdumbluck]

Cake..? Hide what..?

[ He hesitantly steps forward. ]

Look, I think you're... you're messed up 'cause of that blood loss or something.

[answerer_sword]

Ouch!

[She jumps back, as if she has been hit.]

Will you hold still and shut up?

[justdumbluck]

[ He takes a quick step back, alarmed by her sudden movement. ]

Hey! I'm tryin' to help you!

[answerer_sword]

[She looks at him, almost as if she recognizes him as a friend.]

Gee Wally, it sure is nice of you to help me out.

[justdumbluck]

My name's not Wally. It's Firo, you know that.

[ He tries to reach for her arm. ]

Come on, let's get that blood cleaned up. Where's your place, again?

[ Lan Fan just stays still as she enters the dining room. There's a spoon dangling from her mouth as she hears, what sounds like, the TV but a lot closer. She turns around and then stares at her a bit weirded out. ]

Can I help you?

In our school, Mrs. Raven made a big speech yesterday in assembly about how no one should go steady.

[Bazett looks confused as she spouts the lines, waiting for a response.]

[unyielding]

Who is Mrs. Raven? [ Lan Fan looks just as confused as Bazett. She cautiously grips her butter knife. ]

[answerer_sword]

She did?

[She pauses before starting again.]

Yeah, imagine anybody dumb enough to go steady with a girl.

[She then gives a strange laugh, as if she finds the situation funny.]

[unyielding]

Go steady? What does that mean? [ She's really clueless and she wants answers! Not a good combination. ]

[answerer_sword]

[She shrugs.]

Well, what else would you go steady with?

[unyielding]

I do not know. That is why I am asking you. [ ....Man what is with all of this talk about going steady. ]

[answerer_sword]

I don't know, but it sure won't be with a girl.

[unyielding]

How can you refuse to go steady with a girl if you do not know what going steady is? [ Lan Fan still hasn't really caught on it's part of a surgery but she'll look at Baszett with a really confused expressed. Maybe she can pick it up on slight visual cues! ]

[answerer_sword]

When are you gonna hear the results of that test, Wally?

[It should be obvious now that the woman is not in her right mind.]

[unyielding]

I am not Wally, and you are weird.

[ Lan Fan can definitely pick up on this now. Her voice is sterner and she stands up. She's ready to take a stand to protect her... something senses from out of context 1950's tv shows! ]

[answerer_sword]

Mr. Ganner is gonna stick up the goon list today. I'm gonna take a look before I go to Gym.

[She does not seem to notice the girl's change in demeanor.]
