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.]

Is there anybody here to keep an eye on you..?

[ He follows her in, peering around. ]

[answerer_sword]

[Whether or not this is her house is up for debate. Even if it is, then it is full of drones. For a long time, Bazett has been the only sentient member of her household.]

Ran away?

[She gives an echoing laugh.]

Ward, you're scaring him!

[justdumbluck]

[ Firo wanders around the ground floor, soon working his way back to the husk. ]

Nobody, it looks like...

[ He watches the husk and debates whether or not he should stay. Bazett's husk is pretty creepy to be around, but he doesn't want to leave her where she can get hurt. ]

[answerer_sword]

Well, it frightens me a little too, a boy running away.

[She laughs, almost as if she is mocking his indecision.]

[justdumbluck]

[ It certainly sounds like an insult to Firo, and he whirls around to retort. ]

I'm not run-!

...Right. Um, so you look like you'll be fine here.

[ No offense, Bazett, but your laugh is really freaking him out. ]

[answerer_sword]

[The laugh is not so much hers as that of the laugh track being broadcast by the chip. Of course, it sounds different from her real laugh, as well as the laughs of any drones.]

[justdumbluck]

[ Firo puts his hands in his pockets and starts for the door. He glances back at Bazett. ]

You just... try to stay safe, okay?

[answerer_sword]

I don't feel well.

[She grumbles in a strangely childish tone.]

[justdumbluck]

[ He pauses in the doorway. ]

Well, I can't stay here and babysit you. ...Are you even talkin' to me?

[answerer_sword]

What's the matter?

[She stands with her back to him, so she is clearly not talking to him.]

I think I'm gonna be sick.

[justdumbluck]

...Okay, that's what I thought. I'll see ya later when you're less... weird, okay?

[ With one last look back, he leaves the house. ]

[answerer_sword]

[She does not even notice him go and just stands around rambling.]
