All we want to do is eat your brains

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.

I thought we were rather better friends than all that. [He grins.

So not mentioning how good of friends they were before he became a taken man.]

They've been here a lot longer than I have, I'm pretty sure they've got a lot of friends I haven't heard about yet.

[Although there's probably a good reason he hasn't heard about those kinds of 'friends' just yet.]

Ah yes. But I'm their most clever and handsome friend.

Hey now. I think I object to that assessment. [Simon's snickering as he takes a swig of his beer.] I think that position's already been filled.

You can be their most clever and handsome mortal friend. [There there.]

[The distinction gives him pause and he eyes Loki with interest for a moment.] Does that make you immortal?

I have my moments. [Loki's still getting a skeptical look, but Simon's more than intrigued, despite himself.] Is that a thing where you're from? Or did you... do something? To get that way?

Asgard is called the realm eternal for a reason. [Hmmm, curious phrasing.] Though there are always ways to gain immortality without being born to it.

And here I thought that was supposed to be Heaven. You guys neighbors up there or something? [His lips quirk in a rueful smirk as he takes another swig of his beer, then swallows too much of it.] There are... wait, really?

You're thinking of Valhalla. Two different places.

Anything can be bought at a sufficiently high price.

No, I was thinking Heaven. I'm not Norse. Least, not as far as I know, and not recently anyway.

Isn't that the truth? Except I'm not sure the cost back where I'm from is one I want to pay. Or if it's actually the kind of immortality you're talking about. Not like it does me much good here, but then again, dying's not exactly the same thing here, is it?

There aren't that many kinds of immortality, don't fool yourself.

No, dying isn't a reality here. Though I wouldn't count on that always being true.

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that there's any kind of immortality, foolishness is sort of out of the question at the moment.

You wouldn't? [This is the first Simon's heard anything like that. he looks vaguely surprised. And more than a little wary.] Why not?
