[York writes a page number in the journal.]

I'd like to talk about this, if you're all willing. You think we could meet in the hangar in about an hour?

[/UNSC Filter]

[The rest is dictated to the castle at large.]

Well, it's that time of year again. Time to plan Halloween costumes for some, and time to prepare for potential attacks for others. We've had a few over the years, from demons to vampires to everyone's favorite, the brain-eating undead. So tell me, Paradisa.

Do you know what your zombie plan is?

Comments

[ontheclockpro]

Sure do.

What's some good reading material during a zombie invasion?

[encryptedlock]

Let's see. I'd have to say, "Great War Z". It's a total classic.

[ontheclockpro]

Oh yeah? Based on the zombie invasions you've had here, is it a good representation?

[encryptedlock]

It's less about the attacks and more about the aftermath. But I could definitely see something like it happening.

[ontheclockpro]

Hmmm, okay I'll check it out. I always hate the unrealistic portrayals of stuff. [Thus why he can never finish spy novels...]

[midget]

Is this what you think about in your spare time?

[ She "tsk"s. ] It's not like "zombies" are much of a threat.

[encryptedlock]

Sure, sure. That's what everybody thinks until the zombies attack. Sheer force of numbers will win out over power any time. Just look at Russia.

[midget]

No, that's not how it works. Zombies are mooks. You can take on a million of them and come out without a scratch.

[encryptedlock]

It probably depends on the type of zombie. The ones we've had here before seem to be like you're describing, but--better safe than sorry. Besides, what if they're super zombies?

Action

[inmylight_commander]

[Kat's already in the hangar, journal closed, completely engrossed with her newest project; a tank. This should be evident by the array of schematics on her worktable and the beginnings of a frame she's currently putting together.]

Action forever!

[encryptedlock]

[And York's there pretty quickly, of course.]

Well, well. What do we have here?

Ditto!

[inmylight_commander]

Hm? Oh, this ...

[She seems a little distracted, but once she notices him she'll set the tools aside for a moment.] Just scratching an itch. The plan is that it will eventually be a Scorpion.

[encryptedlock]

Sweet. Let me know if you want another pair of hands sometime, yeah?

[He leans up against a wall.]

So how you been?

[Construction tends to mean "restless", in his experience.]

York

[youfallback]

Copy that. I'll be there.

[She pauses, before] Want to come over after?

Carolina

[encryptedlock]

I'd like that a lot. [It feels like they haven't been spending a lot of time together lately, what with one thing happening after another in rapid succession, so he could definitely deal with a little downtime with his girlfriend.]

I'll be out here with Kat until you get here. Think she's building a Scorpion. [God only knows what for, but hey. He's not going to complain.]

York

[youfallback]

[She feel absolutely the same way and knows that sometimes she needs to be told to sit and relax more than once to do so and with her one-year coming up, it'll be more difficult to do so.]

We could use an extra set of wheels in the case of an emergency.

Carolina

[encryptedlock]

We're going to have more vehicles than drivers if she keeps this up. Not that I'm complaining.

Anyway, come on over whenever you want. It doesn't have to be in an hour, if you're not busy now.

[persequor]

[ re: zombies ] Aren't you supposed to shoot them in the head?

[encryptedlock]

Of course. But that's an immediate tactic, not a strategy. What do you do when you run out of bullets?

[persequor]

I don't have bullets.

[encryptedlock]

Sounds like a problem already. What are you shooting them with, then, and what do you do when you run out of that?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

[Serious adult voice is go:]

Don't give it ideas.

[encryptedlock]

Where do you think I got the idea from in the first place? We've had them here before.

[wizard_redfive]

Really? When was that?

[encryptedlock]

Three years ago. All the decorations came alive, and zombies started invading from the town. We didn't actually have any problems containing it, but it could have been a lot worse.
