Escape From Zombie Park Island 2

[wingedcatgirl]

"Ah. Taking medicine every day doesn't sound hard. Can't imagine ever screwing that up."

[psychedelicate]

Sayaka buries her face in her hands in despair.

"No... no, no, no! I can't live like this! I'd rather die!"

[Kennifer]

"Oh, like having a prescription? I can take medicine, sure."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

It won't be easy. It will take a lot of work to find a cure for this. But I am confident we will succeed. And we got ourselves a nice crew too. In no time, we will all be cured.

[PointMaid]

...Sayaka?

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Alpotophis, still a bit fucked up from having been literally sliced up, and his glowing gold eyes now a bright red, listens in. Man...hey, not the worst hangover I've had. Pills, huh? You sound like my therapist. But...if it keeps me alive? Alright.

[KungFuCutbug]

"...Oh! I'm...! Still a zombie?!" [X falters a bit, but regains his composure as soon as she mentions the medicine to suppress the murderous urges.] "Oh! You've got a way to keep us from killing people! Cool! This'll be useful! Although...!" [He stifles a snicker.] "How am I gonna explain this to mom?! I'm not sure she'd be okay with a virus going around in her workplace! Even if I am able to keep the infection from spreading!"

[psychedelicate]

"...okay... we can find a cure... calm down, Sayaka..."

[Kennifer]

"I mean, I think it's really cool. Like something out of one of those stories I write. As long as I don't end up biting my family, or any cute boys."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Have no intentions of biting anyone either. Not even any weirdo photographers trying to get a "where are they now" story.

[PointMaid]

Good. Look, I will find a permanent cure. I promise.

[TalesofUnder]

I... a zombie virus? That's simply science fic—wait. ...Why do I have the same pale skin... OH BUGGER.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

And I am going to help Frankie find one every step of the way. And we would greatly appreciate any help we can get.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Alpotophis looks to the two. Well...let me tell you something. After...after the hell I went through at my first job, in well...didn't want to admit it, but I stared in a damn sitcom as a kid before heading off the rails. After trying to get my life together after all that...part of me still wanted to make a difference in the world like I thought actors could do. Got jaded on the prospect, especially after all this, but. I've got another shot at life. If miracles are possible...count me in on helping you two with this cure.

[PointMaid]

Frankie just grins. Excellent!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Indeed! No matter how bad things can get, there will always be an open window to go through to turn things around.

[KungFuCutbug]

[A voice pipes up from across the room.]

"If you're gonna try actually finding a cure for this bullshit, count me right the fuck in."

[X turns around to see Pico standing in the corner, his arms crossed and his skin noticeably pale.] "P-Pico?!"

"Oh, 'ey." [Pico twirls a rusted, slightly dirty Uzi in his fingers.] "Frankie told me about you. XCOPY, right? Clone of the Boyfriend from another fuckin' timeline?"

"Another timeline?! ...I-I guess that explains how you disappeared and died while still being alive and well where I'm from! Cool!"

"Yeah. Some bitchass with a giant cross choked me out with a silver nugget in my throat. But Frankie over here brought me back." [Pico sighs, uncrossing his arms.] "She makes some weird-ass decisions sometimes... like hiring a fuckin' five-year-old-kid just because he was one of the first to fuckin' apply... But I gotta thank her for bringing me back. Even if I'm not... well... the most human anymore."

[Kennifer]

"Another boy? Hi, I'm Tina."

She waves to Pico.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Watching her, Alpotophis sighs, shaking his head a bit and laughing at Tina's reaction. Damn teens, am I right?.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Welcome, Pico! The more, the merrier!

[PointMaid]

Pico! Yes. I... I didn't forget you. Or the others.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pico waves to Tina and Shoehorn.] "S'up? Name's Pico, icon of the Newgrounds... well, former icon, I guess. Can't exactly still be an icon if I'm a fuckin' zombie, huh?" [He snickers to himself again, then looks at Tina.] "You one of Frankie's new recruits, girlie?"

"Yeah!! Her name's Tina! She's pretty cool! She was super helpful when she was still alive, too!"

"Well, damn. Hopefully she'll be able use her fuckin' skills in finding the cure for this shit, too. Nice to fuckin' meetcha!"

[Kennifer]

"Well, I do get pretty okay grades in school. Not in math though. Or if there's a cute boy in class and I get distracted. And it's nice to meet you too."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

As Zombie Shoehorn smiles upon the zombies getting along, he feels something fly and hit him in the face. He grabs it off and sees it's an eyepatch. A bloody one too. He looks at it.

Where did this come from?

[PointMaid]

...Oh no. Blaine. He... was my helper here, I trusted him. But he betrayed me, and... walked into the blades of an airplane propellar.
