video: (forward dated to day 1 of grab bag weekend)

[grigio]

[Julie doesn't know it's going to be a crazy weekend. She was hoping for more time to settle in before shit got weird so today, she's on her device with an important question. One that's going to be interrupted half-way through. For now, she's holding up a prescription inhaler.]

Hey, again. So...I'm wondering where I can go to get this filled? I've been using it a lot for the past few days because of stress and a lot of running an---

[And then it's back to a very confused and very amused looking Julie.]

Wow.

[A laugh and she may look a little wistful. She misses that zombie.]


Anyway...my inhaler. It's almost empty and I need a refill so who---

[This time, Julie looks less impressed and instead of continuing her request, she just shuts the feed off abruptly.]

Re: text:

[grigio]

Same.

So...that's R. The only zombie there that I can't actually call a zombie at this point. And the bald guy is his asshole friend. I don't know his name.

you keep weird company julie

[WHAT ELSE CAN HE SAY?]

if he's not a zombie what is he? ...dead weight?

Re: text:

[grigio]

I didn't keep him. He tried to keep me. He kept me safe while his friends were tearing through mine. It's weird.

[Oh, god. She laughed.]

No. He's...changing. Learning to be alive again, I think.

sounds like a clingy boyfriend

[teasing, really]

learning to be alive again? so zombies happen because people forgot, where you're from?

Re: text:

[grigio]

Ugh clingy boyfriends. Thank God I never actually had one of those. I'd lose it.

No. R...I don't know. He was part of the group that attacked my friends but when he got to me...he chose not to hurt me.

[LALALA SKIPPING THE GROSS BIT ABOUT BEING SMEARED IN ZOMBIE BLOOD AND ESSENTIALLY KIDNAPPED because ew. Plus, that'd take up several texts.]

It's a story better told in person. And the jury's still out there. No one knows why the zombies happened. That's a horrifying thought though.

tell me about it

[clingy anyone but the irony is on the friend support front Mr. Godfrey is... what some would find overwhelming at times.]

you probably smell.

[JOKING! But maybe?]

somethings just happen. no one knows why.

Re: text:

[grigio]

Probably.

[When she learns that it's because R ate her boyfriends brains...Roman will be the first to find out.]

I stank when I first got here but have showered since.

[She can joke back, too. It's all good.]
