All we want to do is eat your brains

[250mhzwabl]

Who: Jack Holden, Simon Lauchlan, Eugene Woods, Sam Yao, and anyone they can tempt in
What: Basically a slumber party
When: November 1st afternoon and evening
Where: One of the villas in Luceti's housing area
Summary: Luceti's residents of Abel Township have landed themselves under house arrest. But even if they can't go to the parties, who's to say they can't bring the party to them? (Or at least some takeout, geez, this punishment thing is hungry work.)
Rating: PG? It's just some post-zombie-apocalypse dudes and their houseguests, it's not really gonna be racy.


Maybe Halloween Land hadn't been the best destination for a small cluster of survivors of the zombie apocalypse.

In their defense, they hadn't known when they'd walked in that literal zoms would be all over the place. Even as placid as the things were, all it took were a few too many of the shambling dead in one place, strained nerves and the wrong line of conversation, and one poorly-timed jumpscare to set off the powder keg of their collective neuroses and send them sprinting for the nearest defensible position between them and the exits. And sure, all weapons had been taken to the battle dome. But where they came from, all that defined a weapon was a favourable combination of weight, length, sharpness, and maximum velocity. Where they came from, they'd all learned a few behaviours on an instinctual level.

It was sort of lucky, actually, that they only had managed to get themselves landed under house arrest for the remainder of the day. It meant that they still had contact with the outside world - or at least the portions of it that wandered close enough to the open windows.

We probably wouldn't. We'd all die off of boredom.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

Nah, Janine would survive. Probably Seven too. New Canton would thrive.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Seven likes his gossip now and again, don't let him fool you. [Simon snickered at that, looking as if he had a secret or two of his own.] Janine, however, would be thrilled. You're right.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

Really? He always seems so proper. [He looks a little intrigued.]

Janine would talk about how silence is golden or something weird like that.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Course he does. He's Seven.

Oh please. I've gotten that lecture already.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

That's not an answer.

And I bet you have. What did you do to earn that lecture?

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Sure it is. [Simon just grins and doesn't give away any more than that.]

You should see the shades of color she turns when I talk dirty to her. It's vastly amusing.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

Really isn't.

...I don't want to know about that! God... I don't want to know what you and Janine get up in private!

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon rolls over and buries his laughter against Sam's leg.]

Mate, if you don't know what gets up when we're private, you and I have to have a serious talk.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

Ugh, you know what I mean! Your sex life is nothing I want to hear about. I really don't want to hear about Janine's.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Come on now. You can't honestly tell me you've never been curious about Janine.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

I... No, no never. I mean it's Janine. She's... Janine.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Yes, and?

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

And she can probably have me shot for treason if she ever found out I think about her that way.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

If she hasn't shot me for acting on it, she's not gonna shoot you for thinking it, Sammy.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

I think if she's letting you act on it, you kind of get special dispensation. I don't. And I mean, i don't think about her that way anyway.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

You just admitted you thought about her that way. [Simon feels a very important need to point this out.] Besides, you're Sam. You get special dispensation for everything.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

I did not! It was a hypothetical.

I don't. I'm just a radio operator. I'm nothing special.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

It wasn't. Also that's bullshit. You're Sam Yao.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

Alright so she's... she's not exactly unattractive and... I am not discussing this with you.

[He huffs softly, rolling his eyes.]

I do remember my name.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

Yes you are. And wow, Sam, we really have to work on your ability to form a compliment.

Do you also remember that you're Abel's darling and can get away with pretty much anything?

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

What? That was a compliment! She's nice looking. That doesn't mean I want to think of her that way.

[he frowns at that, giving Simon a sideways look.]

I'm not. I just do my job. Same as everyone else.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

[Simon just laughs and rolls his eyes, looking amused.] You're so cute when you're being all naive.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[voiceinthedark]

[Sam rolls his eyes.]

I am not naive. You're just being impossible.

Re: Movie Night! [Free-for-all]

[luckynumberthree]

No reason that can't both be true.
