One Zombie; Video, Action for New Bark Town

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[For a moment, you can hear the confused murmurs of a guy trying to figure out what the heck this thing in his hands is. With a few choice curse words and some shaking the device, the feed flicks on and you get an up close of his face and his eye.]

Well there we go! Ain't this technelogical. Okay then. Holy shit! Any ah y'all out there? Ro? Nick? Coach? You ain't never gonna believe what happened! I got...

Wait for it...

[He splits into a grin and a laugh escapes.]

A Pokemon! Look! [He points the gear down towards the ground to reveal a red pig looking Pokemon.] I ain't sure if it's a girl or a boy, but either way I decided to name it Suee. I ever tell you guys about the time me and my buddy Keith went pig wrastlin'? Now, Keith thought he was big and bad enough to take on a whole pen full'a the bastards, but it turns out pigs are a lot stronger than he gave 'em credit for. He was-

[It's about that time that Suee sneezes and a puff of black smoke comes out, cutting Ellis off as he begins coughing and sputtering.]

Shit- Aha, anyway... Did you know 'pparently I'm supposed to breed these things? Got a breeders handbook 'n everything. That sure is weird, but I ain't complainin'! I am gonna breed the best goddamn suckers you ever did see, just you wait! Hehe...

And y'know what? Now that I think about it- I been too busy takin' all this in to actually think about it 'til now, but- I ain't seen a single zombie since gettin' here! S'that mean there ain't none here? Am I finally safe for once? Man if so, you guys need'a get your asses here pronto! You guys can see this right?

Niiiick? You out there man? Rochelle? Coach?! I ain't talkin' to myself am I?

[Audio] Video is hard ok shut up

[searsblindly]

STOP. I want to hear more of this story! Tell me more about your buddy, Keith and his fight with the oinkbeasts! You were just getting to the good part!

[She don't give a shit about your friends and zombies. You can't just stop a story mid sentence like that!]

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[He doesn't even realize she's blind, and he keeps the video going. Even though she can't see it, his eyes widen in surprise at the sound of her voice.]

Whoa! Well hey there! [He gives his device a wave into the camera.] You ain't one ah my friends, but it's nice t'meet ya all the same.

Oh and, y'know. It was just your typical pig wrastlin' gone wrong.

[Video]

[searsblindly]

[She doesn't exactly advertise it. Why advertise it when you can play the blind card at your advantage?

Also she's supposed to act like she's human right?]

Who are you! You should tell me who you are. It's unfair not to tell a lady your name first, you know. Isn't that a human manner thing? Where you're supposed to be polite to girls? [Nailed it.]

I don't oinkbeast wrestle! How am I supposed to know what's typical?

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Your friends not here.

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Whoa! What an interesting fella.]

...They ain't? Where'd they go then?

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Still in your world! Alone without you!

[willrememberthis]

[Clementine's interest in this broadcast was originally simply enjoying the sight and sound of this happy, friendly-sounding newcomer's apparent unusual excitement over being here. But that last bit - and on top of it that accent...]

Did you say that there are zombies where you're from...?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Well hello! It's been a while since he's seen any kids around- for obvious and depressing reasons. They either... all got zombified, or they were rescued. She sure is a sight for sore eyes in that it's real nice to see a kid again after so long. It makes him smile.]

Howdy! Ya sure did hear that. They're all over the place! Can't walk a foot without hittin' one, honestly.

[Video]

[willrememberthis]

[Oh, she can understand that. Still, don't mind her for looking more than anything... a bit rapt.]

Where are you from?

[Beat.] I'm from Georgia.

[Video]

[buckyouup]

Hold up a second, did you just say somethin' about zombies?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Sure did! America's full'a the suckers. Somebody got infected and then that was it, everybody was done for. Whole world went to shit pretty fast...

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[--yes, another who's pinged by zombies. But not because of his world!]
Zombies, huh? Are you from Clem's world?

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Whatcha mean her world? Ain't there only one world? Yannow... Earth?

[Video]

[francia]

[This guy kind of reminds France of someone he hasn't seen in a long time and grudgingly misses a little bit. That accounts for the slightly amused smile on France's face as he responds.]

Zombies? Really?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Yeeep. You ever seen one? They're nasty bastards. Really like to try and eat ya. A good shot to the head does 'em in though! 'course, you probably know that. Everybody should know that.

[Video 1:2]

[francia]

[o-oh]

[Video 2:2]

[francia]

[That... was not the response France was expecting.]

I... No. I didn't know that.

[He didn't want to know that.]

[Video]

[begetsvengeance]

I think I'll go out on a limb here and say that your friends aren't around. I'd recommend getting used to it.

[Also wait...did he mention zombies? Like, real liv...er...undead zombies?]

Also, just so we're clear...what kind of zombies are you talking about?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Yeah... s'what people keep tellin' me, I just don't wanna believe it.

And... whatcha mean what kind? The dead kind!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Well if it isn't a chatty-cathy we got here.]

[Still, one word stands out in the middle of all that chatter.]</sub>

... Zombie?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[You should try going through the zombie apocalypse with him. He can be even more talkative in the middle of a horde of zombies.]

Yup! Zombies. The dead kind. Real angry and shit, too! Ya ain't ever seen one?

[video]

[when_turks_fly]

You poor thing.

[ Because, really, she doesn't envy anyone the esteemed occupation of Pokemon breeder, not with as many eggs as she's seen some people turn out. The pig is kind of cute, though. A fire pig maybe? It would explain the sneezing smoke bit, she supposes, but she doesn't allow herself to linger on that for long. She doesn't allow herself to linger on much for very long, filing away the man's seemingly familiar identification of the Pokemon and cutting straight to the matters at hand. ]

To my knowledge, neither your friends, nor any zombies are here. I'll count the second part as a good thing going off what I know about zombies. You'll find the accessible regions of this world, which aren't a part of your own world, are inhabited by conversationally challenged natives, Pokemon, and abductees like ourselves. As you seem ahead of the game otherwise, I won't explain the purpose of your Pokemon. Do you follow me?

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Naw, I ain't poor! I actually found some money in my pack and I have... gosh, like... three thousand dollars! I'm pretty damn rich!

[No one has told him it's like Japanese money and that it's not nearly as much as he thinks he has.]

Uh... I think maybe I do, but how'd I... end up on a different world? That ain't possible! Ya can't live on Mars yet!

[santafancier]

Awww, now isn't he a cutie? Don't worry though, you ain't talking to yourself. You're transmitting lout and clear! Though, unfortunately, you may not be talking to your friends. Because they may not be here.

[It's a major bummer.]

Also, there aren't any zombies here, don't worry! Though there are ghosts.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh! I'm glad you can hear and see me. And yeah, she really is adorable, ain't she?

I've heard they're not here- my friends and the zombies, actually. It's real sad, but I guess I'll be okay without 'em.

Can ya tell me more about them ghosts?
