w2, wednesday.

[counterclocked]

[It's later on in the day, after he's had a chance to shower and change his clothes, that he's reading in the library. He's so tired it's difficult to focus on the words in front of him, which might be why he gives up pretty easily when he notices Toi.]

...Hey.

[soba]

Yo.

[ toi was actually looking for him. ]

You're all patched up?

[counterclocked]

[He nods.]

Yeah. We're lucky we got that hydrogen peroxide...

[soba]

... huh. Lucky.

[ some people didn't get shit for their injuries ]

But what happened?

[counterclocked]

[Very seriously:]

George A. Romero.

[that explains nothing please stop]

[soba]

[



he just shakes his head. no. ]

[counterclocked]

You know, like... Night of the Living Dead? Come on, man, work with me.

[soba]

Oh, zombies.

[ wait ]

Zombies?

[counterclocked]

—You got it again!

[please stop being excited about this and explain the zombies]

[soba]

Yes, I caught the reference.

Did you fight zombies?

[counterclocked]

[He nods.]

Yeah. Like, 15 of them.

[soba]

And how are you guys... not dead?

[counterclocked]

That's a really good question!

[hunter,,]

Uh, Akechi had a knife with him, 45 had a gun and a knife, and I found a saw and a pair of shears once we got into the morgue?

[soba]

[ he is internally closing his eyes ]

Well, it's good to have the confirmation that we should definitely be armed, I guess.

[counterclocked]

I would normally asked why there’s a zombie infested morgue here, but I got that out of my system with the monster infested lake.

[soba]

Was there anything else there? Or just... zombies...?

[counterclocked]

I think everything was just information about the zombies, though there were a few items... I need to ask Peach what they are or what they do.

[soba]

Items?

... well, hopefully they're actually useful.

[counterclocked]

Yeah, I hope so, too.

[A sigh.]

I mean, if I find out it was really just a bracelet after I had to fight a bunch of zombies for it, I'm going to be angry.

[soba]

[ i fuckin hate you so much ]

I wonder if this means there's a bunch of more of those things crawling around...

[counterclocked]

I'm pretty sure we would have noticed. They were very angry and very fast. Like, the 28 Days Later kind of zombie. Also, some of them could definitely talk, so I think you would hear them, too.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Unless they're on a floor or in a room that hasn't been unlocked yet, I guess.

[soba]

Well...

Yeah, that could be the case, actually.

[ ... ]

What did they say?

[counterclocked]

Oh, well... He told us all to get out, which was spectacularly helpful since the door was still locked and he attacked us all, like, three seconds later.

[thanks for nothing zombie!!]

[soba]

That sounds... very horror movie-esque.

[ like

stereotypically so ]

[counterclocked]

Uh huh. Like, full on Zombieland. It was crazy.

[He tilts his head.]

I wonder if the other one will, be, like, an adventure movie. Or maybe just a different subsection of horror...?
