Zombies huh?

Least the town gave us something easy this time to deal with. Like I guess it's scary if you've never seen or dealt with zombies before, but even then it isn't hard. Most cases you could practically just push them over and it'll get rid of 'em.

Course, you idiots are probably gonna freak anyway. Even then, if you at least get in a group, you should be able to do well enough that you'll survive. Maybe. Some of you. Really, just stay out of range of them. If you can keep ahead of them, you've got a good chance of not dying.

Hey! Slugger!

Bet I can put down more of them than you can.

[Filtered to Mindy]

Are you at home? If you are, or wherever you are, stay there and stay out of sight. I'm coming over to get you some place safe.

[Feel free to notice the large spider-mech stomping around Mayfield today, and the absurdly happy, fat kid riding on top of it as the mech stomps and trudges around the town, stomping down drone-zombie after drone-zombie with abandon.

Yeah. Pokey pretty clearly sees teh current event as being as much of a game as anything.]

Pokey? What's going on?

[She's worried. It sounds like the whole town is fighting out there.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

There's-

The town is bad right now. Very bad. Where are you?

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

In my room....


Mr Pemberton said that bad things would happen if I went out.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Okay. Okay, good. You need to listen to Mr. Pemberton.

If you're really scared, I can take you someplace where a lot of people are, but if I do that, you gotta be really good and keep a secret and make sure no one knows about it.

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

But what about you? What are you going to do?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

...A friend and I have work to do. Really, really important work like...super...secret....agent work.

[Oh man yeah that's a good one.]

I can still come and stay with you some, especially if you let me take you to the place, but I can't let you come with me, okay.

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

.......Okay. I promise I'll keep the secret, so can you come and get me?

[At least this way she'll get to see him.]

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Sure. Sit tight, and I'll be right over there, alright?

[And in a few moments, he will, Josephine having teleported over to Mindy's house. He doesn't waste any time going to the front door and coming inside.]

Mindy? You here?

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

[She'll slip out the front door, wearing her her backpack and carrying that ever-present teddy bear.]

I'm here!

[She runs up to the mech and smiles at him brightly. Pokey is here now, so everything is fine.]

Where are we going?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[Pokey just gives a small smile as he helps the girl onto the mech.]

Someplace really really special and really really secret. So remember: you can't tell anybody, alright?

[And then, a pause.]

...Your birthday is coming up, isn't it? Wasn't it around this time last year?

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

I won't! I promise!

[As soon as she gets up there, he's getting his requisite greeting hug.]

It sure is! I'm gonna have a party and invite everybody.

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

[And Pokey hugs back. Quickly. They kinda gotta be quick, considering all the zombies.]

Good.

What would you like for your birthday this year squirt?
