Well, isn't this nice?

[Peter has a mug of coffee clasped between his hands and is wearing an obnoxiously acid green t-shirt. You can take the man out of the gym, but you can't take the gym out of the man. His tastes haven't changed that much.]

Electricity. Hot running water. Coffee. As much alcohol as I can imbibe. It's delightful.

[Yes, he does intend to take advantage of the new-found luxury.]

I would love to say that I'm shocked to be here and all those platitudes about trying to adjust, but really, this makes about as much sense as anything else that's happened to me in the last few years.

Zombie apocalypse, insane hippies with mind-control rays, people growing lizard scales... superheroes and alternate realities seems like the next logical step, as far as logic has anything to do with it.

[He takes a long drink of his coffee.]

Oh yes. You can call me Peter. I'm... A Runner, entertainer, part-time spy and occasional meat shield. I'm sure we'll have a marvellous time together.

Back the fuck up: Zombie Apocalypse?

[manwhosoldtheworld]

That's what I said. it was all very Romero.

[lovernotafighter]

Okay, important question since you're the sudden actual survivor: Best Zombie Plan?

[manwhosoldtheworld]

Shack up with an ex-special ops now professional assassin and spy in her farmhouse sitting above an extensive underground laboratory and help build a town above it.

Worked for me.

[Not too bad, really. It'd basically be living with Carolina, right? In one of the bases? Sure?]

Do they smell as bad as they look?

[manwhosoldtheworld]

The zombies? Worse actually. It's not pleasant.

[lovernotafighter]

Dude, I've smelled bad. It's okay. Pretty sure it can't be as bad as Grif's room at our crashsite back home.

[manwhosoldtheworld]

A horde of several hundred zombies, all in various stages of decay, organs hanging out, including intestines. Filthy clothes.

...not quite as bad as the scent of your own flesh burning to a crisp but thankfully that tends to be a short-term problem for most people.

[lovernotafighter]

Okay, seriously? I'm starting to think you're lying. I mean, they're pretty fun lies, but hey, bullshit is bullshit, right?

[manwhosoldtheworld]

You're in a world of superheroes and you want to quibble over a man's zombie apocalypse horror story?
