Escape from Zombie Park Island

[KungFuCutbug]

“You guys are really that fuckin’ concerned that you're gonna fuckin’ die just because you're fuckin’ black, huh?” [Pico comments offhandedly.] “Damn it. I fuckin’ hate that you've been conditioned to fuckin’ think like that. None of us should've had to fuckin’ worry about dyin’, but especially not you two if a huge-ass part of it has to fuckin’ do with your goddamn skin color. ...But look on the bright side, you haven't fuckin’ died. And hopefully if everythin’ goes to fuckin’ plan, you won't fuckin’ die.”

[madface7]

"Aye, don' lump me in with him. Ah don' have any doubt that I'll survive this. Ah got liquid courage."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Guess I watch too many movies. Never have a Samuel L. Jackson movie marathon before you come to an island full of zombies.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pico just grumbles incomprehensibly about Hollywood under his breath.] “Well, enough of that bullshit. Doc? Have you looked at the fuckin’ footage yet? Any bites?”

[PointMaid]

I have, now, she says. I'm afraid Isaac and William Jennings Bryan were bitten again. The Smilodons were more interested in Isaac than the piece of meat he brought to distract them... and our Short Faced Bears were not intimidated by Bryan's threat to invoke the Monroe doctrine and bring in the US Army.

[Florien]

Oh God save us...  I will heal Isaac, to the best of my abilities, tonight. I... assure you. If I fall prey to the demons... Remember me for what I was once. I need to save him. Save everyone. No more deaths.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pico... just loudly sighs, a tone of defeated resignation in his voice. Isaac again. How many times has the poor kid been bitten up to this point? And WJB got bit for the second time, too. Normally, he'd be a lot more pissed off or frightened about this, but the past week has completely drained his emotional energy at this point. He's become desensitized, he realizes, and he hates that fact.]

[artsyGeek]

Percy overheard Skiggs, Demo, and Pico's conversation. It's unfortunate, indeed, and she wishes for the best for the two.

And then she hears who got bitten.

WJB, huh? Not someone she's that familiar is - besides, a bodybuilder can resist the zombie virus, right?

...oh dear.

Isaac. He got bitten once more.

"Dear God! Again? The poor kid's suffered enough!"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Tell you all the truth, I don't care if I die here or not anymore. As long as the kids make it.

[Guma]

OK. These canst not just be coincidences anymore. Surely you muste be rigging the island in the disfavour of Isaac and Bryan.

[PointMaid]

Rigging the island... No! Why would I do that anyway? And how? Do you think my animals are animatronics or something? That would be so much easier.

Anyway, it's one hour until sundown.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Before sundown hits, I got something I need to say.

Skiggs turns his attention.

Pico, I don't know if any of us will make it tomorrow or not. I'm not saying that just to be a downer either, I'm being real. And I need to get this off my chest before anthing happens. Pico.... what you did for me yesterday meant a lot to me. How I was about to go kill myself and then you talked me out of it and gave me your Uzi. You really made me feel among friends here. Such a rare feeling in my life. And I want to do something for you, if you're interested. I'd like for you to come work for me. You will be paid really well for your services. Act as one of my guards for my operations. I won't lie, it does get dangerous at times. But that's a cake walk compared to this damn place. I'd really like to have you by my side, working together. And I'm not just saying that because of your skills. I'm saying that because you're my friend. No.... no. You're more than that. After what we went through... you're like a brother to me.

[Dookie]

“Like, whatever. I don't even care about that dumb kid or that William guy. Who cares if they die? That kid is literally 5.

Elizabeth is looking at stuff on her phone.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Pico just stares at Skiggs, completely awestruck at the proposition.] "Hmph. I... I'm gonna have to fuckin' think about that..."

[artsyGeek]

Percy dope-slaps "Elizabeth".

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I understand this would a huge change for you. But here's my card.

He offers Pico his business card, reading "Arthur Skiggs" with his phone number below.

Give me a call after all this and let me know what you think. And if you don't want to, then I will respect your decision. But regardless, give me a call 24/7 if you just want to talk. Because after all this, I would definitely like to keep in touch with you,, he says with a warm smile.

[Dookie]

Dope-slap seems to break Elizabeth out...but only for a second.

“Do it aga-hey! Like, you're rude! Just mind your own beeswax? Hey? Why don't you go fuck yourself? Lol, I don't care about any of this.”

[PointMaid]

NIGHT HAS FALLEN

[PointMaid]

DAY PHASE

There are... leftover bagels? Frankie is in her office, looking for... something. She's chugging coffee and her eyes are bloodshot. She has a packet of sleeping pills in her hand, unopened. Her desk is a mess.

Anyway, breakfast?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I'm not wasting any time here...

> Search for bodies

[PointMaid]

> Look for bodies: 2

Much too distracted by the impending ability to leave the island to notice anything.

[artsyGeek]

> Also search for a body

[PointMaid]

> Also search for a body: 1

You run around looking for a dead body, but trip and hurt your ankle in the process. Ow.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Percy, you all right?

[artsyGeek]

...I swear, random.org, stop making me trip and/or fall.

Percy briefly squealed out of pain. "Ow.."
