[There's a valid reason for the text. Julie knows what these things are and how they work. So she's offering some hastily typed advice.]



These things are from my home. They're worse than zombies. Think of them as zombies but with obviously more decay and a significant lack in any shred of humanity a zombie may have had.

They're called Boneys and headshots won't do shit.

You have to take them apart but be careful.

One bite and you turn into one pretty damn quick. I'm talking minutes or less.

They're attracted to sound. They travel in packs and if you see only one, it's a trap. It takes seconds for them to summon others.

Be careful. Stay in groups. Arm yourselves.

What do you suggest as the most efficient means of taking them apart?

Re: Text

[grigio]

Do you have a shotgun? Access to heavy objects like rebar or pipes?

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I have both, although the shotgun is more readily available. I had intended to barricade myself and my employees in the casino.

Re: hasty text;

[grigio]

I don't know yet. I'm with R. We're at the beach house. Hiding. Contemplating hopping into my car and running a few down.

Are you okay?

Re: Text

[grigio]

Do it. Block all entryways. Windows.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Are you somewhere safe?

Re: Text

[grigio]

I'm at home with R.

[Which...is probably the safest she can be right now.]

Re: hasty text;

[grigio]

...feel like going for a drive, Dean? Just for a bit.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Good. I appreciate your sharing this information. Hopefully it'll keep some of us safe.

[grigio]

Lydia oh god I'm sorry I want to help and I don't know how

Re: Text

[grigio]

That was my goal. Keep you all safe.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

And with any luck, it'll all be over tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm making sure we're all well armed here.

Take them apart how? Shooting them down or slicing them up?

text ;

[grigio]

Whatever does the trick. Smash them. Shoot them. Just disassemble the fuck out of them.

Hi. I'm Julie and I swear to fucking God I did not bring these here when I arrived.

Re: Text

[grigio]

Survive until midnight so we can get shitfaced and forget this happened.

[ honestly, julie, better monsters from your home than his. ]

I'm betting it's the flavor October has to offer us.

I'm John. You safe?

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I like the sound of that. We could all use a drink or two. Or more.

Re: text ;

[grigio]

[They can bond over their respective monsters some day. Right?]

Way to make my birthday month suck, City. Thanks.

Yeah. Sorta. For now. God I hate these things. Ugh.

Re: Text

[grigio]

My goal is dangerously hung over by this time tomorrow.

Re: Text

[recognize_an_opportunity]

A noble goal. You know you're always welcome to stop by the casino -- figure you should get a discount on drinks here.

text ;

[olduvai]

[ yes, of course, and the many ways you can shoot monsters down. ]

'Sorta' doesn't really sound promising.

Re: text ;

[grigio]

[Total bros in the making.]

Well, there are a fuckton of these things and I lack a gun.

[Never mind the fact that she's hanging out with a zombie from home. This doesn't even cross her mind as a Thing to Bring Up.]
