lucetilogs | 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.

Well, that would be nice, yeah, if we could get everyone. But then... what about the people in New Canton? They're not all horrible. Or the guys at Narwhal Tower? It feels selfish to not help them.

And yeah, I think Van Ark is the last person any of us want to see. Maybe he'll drop dead.

We can hope. [Simon muttered, shifting to get more comfortable.] I dunno, Sammy. I'm not sure Luceti has room for all of New Canton.

Yeah. Him and his insane research.

There are meant to be other enclosures, y'know. Some of them are apparently huge. More than big enough for New Canton. And we wouldn't even have to deal with them much.

As long as we can ship Nadia over there. And Esteban. I don't think I like him.

[Sam snorted in laughter.]

I won't argue with that.

[Simon grins when he gets Sam to laugh like that, poking him in the ribs playfully.]

I didn't think you would.

I can't believe she just... just tried to kill Five! Like we don't have enough problems to deal with.

At that point, what's a few more?

The difference between survival and the extinction of the human race?

Sammy, not to defend her or anything, but I don't think she was exactly logical when she did what she did. Grief makes people do crazy things.

We've all lost people! We've all had to do horrible horrible things and face the worst. But I mean, I never tried to murder someone in cold blood!

Something I'll be forever thankful for, since I'm pretty sure I've tempted you a time or two.

Maybe once or twice. But I wouldn't really do it.

I'm so reminding you of that next time I drive you homicidal.

Do you actually have a death wish?

Not usually. I think you bring out the worst in me.

Wow Simon. You really know how to make someone feel good about themselves.

Every time I try and make you feel good about yourself, you never believe me anyway.

'cause you're always taking the piss.

Not always.

You don't make it easy to tell.

[Simon reaches up and ruffles Sam's hair.] Fine then. Here's me not taking the piss. You're my favorite person here, Sammy.

[He grumps a little, but endures the hair ruffling and what Simon says is... it's kind of sweet actually.]

That's not difficult when there's only four of us.

Sure it is. You're competing with Jack. [Simon winks as he grins up at him.] You're pretty high up there back home, too, you know. I can't say the most favorite, because Jenny and Jody would murder me, but you hit the top three.

Wow, charming. [He rolls his eyes.] Janine wants to murder you most of the time anyway. And everyone knows Jody's your favourite.
