[ Although she's not as bad as she's been the past few days, Wichita still looks pretty beat up and worn out. The fear gas kept her running most of the time, which meant crashing into things and falling down with the disorientation that came with it. She may or may not be hoping for some pathos points here, but it's an effortless attempt for it. She really does feel like shit. ]

I'm not even going to get into the what the hell was that factor of the past few days, but instead there's just one thing I've been wanting to ask, and haven't had a very good reason to until now:

-- If I say "zombie apocalypse", you say..?

Not trying to just stir the pot here, still just... trying to figure out why we're all here. What's their play. Whoever "they" is, I dunno. How many of us are from cookie-cutter happy worlds, and how many were dealing with ridiculous shit before they woke up in the tubes? Spill it.

... Oh, and um. [ sniff. ] If we've talked before? Let's do that again. Like, right now. [ check in with her you bastards. ]

Good to know.

How long was your world like that?

SH

[cons]

A little over three months. The virus became a pandemic in about two weeks, wiped out most of the population in five. It spread to Europe after a few "rescued survivors" happened to not be all that healthy after all in week three, but I'm not sure if it's as bad over there as it was in the US. Not like we could hop on a plane and go check it out.

That sounds like a diplomatic nightmare.
The look on my brothers face if he heard about a situation like this.

SH

[cons]

It was actually more like one of those all-around nightmares.
Is he a politician?

[consulting]

He's government, yes.
So from your paragraph we can deduce that the virus isn't airborn.
Otherwise you'd have caught it and then damned the ship.
So how was it transferred?

I wasn't kidding when I said they crave flesh; it transfers through bodily fluids. If you get bit, or sometimes even scratched deep enough by one, you're out. I've had a few close calls, but never anything to actually worry about. but it is the reason why I wear a leather jacket.

that and because I look great in it.

[consulting]

I'll give you that much.

I'd love to get my hands on one. The cell make-up must be stunning.
But I wouldn't want to live in a world like that.
So logic dictates, just one.
How do you kill them?

SH

[cons]

Have you ever checked out Mad Cow Disease? It's that, just... Mad People Disease. --Really Freaking Mad People Disease. And you kill them the same as you kill anyone else that's trying to kill you. Only there's no question of "is this the right thing to do?" because you know they're not going to stop trying to rip you apart until you're dead.

[consulting]

Boring. That sounds so artless.
Those who died probably cared, this is why caring isn't an advantage.

SH

[cons]

The whole caring thing kinda gets tossed out the window once you get chewed on. I mean, I think the virus makes your brain like, swell up, and that apparently makes you really angry. And you lose all sense of humanity. Kinda. Minus the fact that you're hungry.
