[Mafia] Escape from Zombie Park Island 3

[PopcornPie]

//Ah.

"You're very welcome. Unfortunately, we should be keeping an eye on you, Edd. This is the second time on a row you walked away with a wound."

[Cassie]

...this really was the last thing she expected to taste so good.

She puts the tub on the table again.

"If anyone wants it, they can have the broccoli over there. Lemme tell you, that tasted so, so, good..." Illina squees.

...why did she put the tub on the table and not directly offer the broccoli anyway?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Meanwhile, Frankie and Paul go onto the tour of the island, looking at the various animal life Frankie has on the island, with a good number of them being species that were once extinct. She even shows him the plans to expand this into the park. And at the end, they find themselves at the research center with experiments showing off working on the cure and samples of the virus.

So this is the heart and soul of it all...

[PointMaid]

It is indeed. Without all this, the rest would never have come to be. The lab equipment we received yesterday will be incredibly useful.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I sure hope it is. Listen, Frankie. I really do think you're about to do some great things here. I sense some of these people don't trust you. And I know how discouraging it gets. I sense some of these people don't trust me! And all I'm here to do is help you. I have the power of resources on my side and I like to use them all for the very best. And that's why I sent all this stuff to you. You're on the verge of something great. And I'd like to help you get there. Sure we might have our naysayers, but we'll prove them wrong. They'll see that this will become the biggest thing ever in the world. And I'll even offer my services to help you out here. Whatever you need done, I'll be your man. And I have a feeling this will be quite the beautiful friendship.

[PointMaid]

Frankie smiled. Or was that a forced smile?

I'm sure it will.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

As the tour wraps up, Shoehorn confronts Frankie.

Frankie, I'm really surprised at you. Why are you showing this man our secrets? Don't you know how reckless that is? Especially a guy like him? Don't you think that there's more to him than meets the eye? Sure he seems nice, but don't you sense he's slimy? Please, don't do anything else that's foolish, I implore you.

[PointMaid]

Shoehorn... do you understand how much money it takes to run a place like this? The only way I'm going to be able to take care of the animals properly... give them proper veterinary care... bring back even more species... is by partnering with somebody. I'm not going to do anything foolish. But I can't turn my back on the modern world. Not like you did. I know there are risks, but that's what I do. I take calculated risks and make them work. Besides... I'm keeping an eye on him, but what stakeholder wouldn't want to see everything? I think you're overreacting. I understand you have your reasons, but... just trust me.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Shoehorn looked like he wanted to object further, but he got so frustrated he couldn't come up with the words and just storms off.

Look. I don't get what his deal is, but it'll be OK. I'm sure he'll come around, Paul says, trying to pep Frankie up.

[PointMaid]

It's... he has his reasons. But yes, I'm sure he'll come around when he has time to settle down. Don't worry, we're friends.

[Cassie]

"...but will you still be by the end of this? After all he started to have some resistance to what you've been planning, and these don't seem to be light subjects either..."

[Kennifer]

:33< *all this talk has ac f33ling a bit purrplexed, on the one paw letting people come s33 all these animals would be really cool since there wouldn't be any danger but on the other nature is really neat, ac herself lives in a cave with her lusus instead of a lawn ring like her buddy karkat*

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

"...but will you still be by the end of this? After all he started to have some resistance to what you've been planning, and these don't seem to be light subjects either..."

... Don't worry... I'm sure it'll be fine! Nature and civilization can happily coexist together! And besides... It's not like we're DESTROYING nature by doing this... Frankie needs the funds SOMEHOW... And more money means more projects like this... And more nature restored! It's a win-win!

[Oggy123]

"Oh dear, i got scratched! Maybe i should just eat for now..."

> Get some good food.

[PopcornPie]

Fluttershy, meanwhile, is simply reminded of all the antagonists she knew who got into Equestria's good graces by acting sweet and kind. Flim and Flam, Queen Chrysalis, Starlight Glimmer, Gladmane, all of them. Needless to say, she has learned to never pour all her trust into somebody on the first meeting. She's going to be firmly on Team Shoehorn for the time being.

"So you guys think we might need to perform...a couple? Because I'm with Shoehorn. This is wrong." She whispers to the others, nibbling broccoli.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Get some good food. (Waddle Dee)

You grab a steak, but as you get ready to eat it, a bird flies by and snatches it away.

[Dookie]

//Ah.

"You're very welcome. Unfortunately, we should be keeping an eye on you, Edd. This is the second time on a row you walked away with a wound."

"Yeah..fair point. I should be more careful tomorrow."

"If I get a tomorrow."

[PopcornPie]

"Aw, don't worry. It's not like we're going to have you euthanized if you turn. You just have to be quarantined. That's all. Speaking of which, have you felt more irritable since the first bite?"

[Kennifer]

Nepeta is going to

>head back to her cabin and try to barricade the door, either to keep herself in if she gets a bit too adorabloodthirsty or keep zombies out if somebody else decides to kill her.

[PointMaid]

And the sun sets on Zombie Park Island.

IT IS NOW NIGHT PHASE. If you have night abilities, please send your actions in. Infected will be notified if they have been zombified.

Expect Day in 40 to 72 hours.

[PointMaid]

Note: We're thinking of opening Day Phase tomorrow not today, with a lot going on today in The Murder Challenge, to give everyone a bit of breathing room

[PointMaid]

UPDATE: Make that 6:00pm Eastern, 5:00pm Central!

[PointMaid]

DAY THREE DAWNS

Good morning, everybody! Have some brunch. I'll show you more of what I've got in store for this island today... Hope you slept well! ...Hope everybody slept well.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

... I did.

Tsumugi wakes up...

[Kennifer]

:33< *ac is purrpared to take on another day! she is going to munch on some food and is there tea? she usually prefurs chameowmile but that's more for before going to sl33p so maybe a nice purrl grey instead.*

>Oh yeah and did anyone do an aliven't?
