[This was an inevitable happening.]

Like we can't just grow children in petri dishes... So you put aside some eggs for the unfortunate day you decide you want an organism of your own, and sterilize yourself in the meantime. Problem solved.

[Don't even need men involved, not that Carla would advocate a purely lesbian society.]

Although I wouldn't trust anyone here to be clean on a first glance, none of you keep your papers on you which should be routine, so the condoms are probably a good idea too. At least until you've taken a family trip to the doctor's office. It might save time to do it as a group, rather than waiting on everyone individually... Maybe that takes some of the spontaneity out of it, but you'll have more options in a group. Exponentially more. It probably makes up for it, when you get down to it.

[Thus concludes sex-ed with Carla... Get sterilized, use condoms, get tested, have orgies.]

As long as it's all sterile.

As long as I'm sterile and they don't have syphilis.

Sorry, I must have missed the slip from the personal to general.

Stuck on the part where you made group sex sound boring.

[She laughs, and for once she doesn't sound like anything is stabbing her from inside.]

That would be antithesis to my intention.

[Which is nice, but he still finds all this dubious.]

I'm in favour of clean practices. But, past a certain level the obsession with it is only going to be hot if you have a fetish for Mary Poppins.

When does it become obsession?

Around about the point of checking people's medical references when you're not a sex worker. And any sex worker will tell you rubber is always going to be a better barrier method than paper.

I don't think so. Employers check them too.

Not prior to the orgy.

I'm saying people expect to be asked.

All right. We've been to different parties.

We lived in different worlds, and I don't think you'd like mine.

Does anyone?

I can think of a few.

Would you tell me about it, if I asked?

[Oh...]

...what bout it?

Whatever you think there is to tell.

...I think the majority of people don't know what Reanimates are here.

Outside of the eighties movie?

They're popular in historical films, actually. If you don't get enough of them in your day to day.

Reanimated [and he pauses, because of the weight she'd put on the word, and he doesn't say corpses although that's the word running concurrently in his head] people?

[and he doesn't say zombies either.]

They're not considered people, after they've been infected. And they aren't, really.

[There is something tight and a little vicious in her description. Reanimate is the word that comes most easily from her lips, but they are corpses and they are zombies. She's called herself those things, an accurate description of her own self-loathing.]

So it's a disease. Are they infected pre-death?

[Then, so they're on the same page, and because he's not the most tactful anyway, he says]

In the American films, it's usually transmission by biting. Actual folklore says different.

[Real recorded instances are usually put down to drugs.]

You can catch it anywhere, any time, if you don't have your shots. Untreated bites will still overtake you. The first strains were air and waterborne though. That's only still a problem in the rural areas though. Most people who catch it in the cities are injected with it, living or dead.

But the zombies haven't taken over. You're not living alone in your apartment with a dog. You - your society - is living with them.

[He'll pause on that thought for just a second.]

And some of you are engineering infection.

[In the real, recorded cases (drugs, but clever ones), there's only one reason for that. What other reason to create creatures not in control of their own minds but to exert the influence of your own.]
