Let's Survive Zafehouse: Diaries!

Radio. I want my contribution to the field of mass communication to be something a little more substantial than bloody smoke signals.

A Courage the Cowardly Dog reference?!



ALL MY NOSTALGIA

Picture from that one movie where Dexter went into the future to save the world?

ALL MY NOSTALGIA

Almost anything from the latter half of the nineties?

ALL MY NOSTALGIA

... It has occurred to me every new recruit is a zombie.
(That's correct.)
Research fertilizer, s'il vous plaît. Preferably the kind that explodes. And then put that in the new graveyard.
(I see someone learned their science.)
Le bon Dieu makes me a scientist, I must become a scientist. Now I will take M'sieur l'Inspecteur Waffles for a long walk. His head needs to be cleared from these idiotic notions the rebels have planted in it.
(And abandon the important tea making?!)
The princess insists a guard was not needed. I make myself useful in the position of the concierge. Quite simple, puppeteer. Now come along, chiot. I have batterments to walk you by.

I must have watched that movie at least ten times.

Oh shit, the vote. I'll go with radio if only because we don't seem to be having much food trouble. We can finish up the food tech tree afterwards.

((It's not a huge emergency or anything, but Success, Now We're Bored is missing off the musical list. I just wanted to mention it for the sake of completion.

*crawls back into study hole*))

Oh crap, sorry, I must've completely forgotten about that! It's added to the list now, thanks so much for reminding me!

Confirming actions.

Shelby Darlene /Amanohashi is watching.
vayaviya /Dist is resting. CuteCat /Pipsqueak is trapping the place. After Dist wakes up, they'll regroup with Song and Amanohashi.
Waiting on SongBird /Song.

According to the 24-hour rule, Song's actions will become open to the public if she doesn't post in little over an hour from now.

((No problem! Considering the pace I was spitting those out at, missing one would be very easy indeed, especially because it was in the middle of a conversation about an all-Decepticon run, and how conspiracies worked in the context of the game, in with a lot of spoiler tags. I honestly thought I'd forgotten to do High Flying, Adored until I checked thoroughly.))

Song's actions are now open to the first person who posts after this.

HEY THERE, ME ME ME.

Song should search!
(Edit: Dang, always a little bit too late...)

Congratulations, soundlyParanoid! What would you like the little goldfish in a lightbulb tank to do? :D

I would like to do SCIENCE! and test just how hardy the Police Officer class is.

Therefore I would like them to Breach the most heavily infested building left with the single most badass weapons the survivors have.

This is most certainly not because I want to be the wrench in this runs cogs or anything.

Hee. I like you, soundlyParanoid. You are truly the bro-est of bros.

Update coming shortly. In the meantime, you might want to listen to this to get yourselves in the mood.

((... uh-oh...))

((I'll just be looking at Siku to prepare. Scrolling down and try to pinpoint when he was cutest.))

Awwww.

Bears truly are the world's most adorable bloodthirsty predator.

He looks like a seal in his infancy.

((He actually moved like one, too. Sort of waddled forward on his entire front legs like he had flippers. There was a video when he was trying to learn how to walk and it more or less was.

*reaches doorframe. Grabs doorframe. Pulls up. Fall on tummy*
"MWOOOOUUUR!"
*get comfort pat. Try again*

Apparently that's normal for the cubs. He also used to have his tongue dangling from his mouth all the time, which he seems to have outgrown, too. I'd honestly forgotten a bit about him, but they had a show on the other day to celebrate his turning 1 years old by letting him eat his first fish.
He's a good stop when I need fuzzy feels.))

And the deed is done.

The game is saved, the tales within writ on stone.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to wash my hands.

Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One: two: why,
then, 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky!—Fie, sound
ly, fie! a GM, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power
to account?—Yet who would have thought the gold
fish to have had so much blood in it?

((Macbeth The Scottish Play! Thread won.

Yes, I only know the quote because it was on Morse: The Daughters of Cain. That's where I get all my cultural quotes.))

Oh, hey! A theater quote I actually recognize! GLEE!! :D

Weirdly enough, I actually know that because I read Macbeth That Scottish Play a few times in high school. I can't quote it direct-like from memory or anything, but I can recognize lines here and there if I see them.

((BGM: Requiem for a Fish))

You know, I've always been curious about the limits of the police officer. They're one of the strongest classes in the game, but would a single police officer be able to clear out its home base, the police station, all by itself (armed suitably with the most badass weapon available, of course)? This question will nag at me until my dying day...

...or at least it would have, until soundlyParanoid asked it for me. Thanks, bro!

Shelby Darlene /Amanohashi is watching. Always watching, always waiting, unflinching even as his comrade prepares to face death in the eye.
CuteCat /Pipsqueak is trapping, and then he and vayaviya /Dist will join Amanohashi in the house above. They wanted to reunite with Song too, but...
soundlyParanoid /Song is breaching the police station armed with the recoilless bolt action rifle and 17 .223R rounds.



Well, there HAS been some blood splatter, but that doesn't mean that she's definitely dead, right? She could just be injured, I mean, she's armed with the mighty recoilless bolt action rifle after all...



Oh. Well. Never mind then.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury SongBird, not to praise her.
The evil that fish do live after them;
The good is oft interred with their bulbs;
So let it be with SongBird. soundlyParanoid
Hath given actions too ambitious:
If not unjust, it was a grievous move,
And grievously hath SongBird answer'd it.
Here, under leave of soundlyParanoid--
For soundly is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in SongBird's funeral.
She was my fish, faithful and just to me:
But soundly made her too ambitious;
And soundly is an honourable man.

When the survivors breached the northeast home,
Kaneda sent Amano to join them
Did this in Kaneda seem vengeful?
Oh, fine, when Caoimhe died, she laughed, not wept:
Survivors should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet soundly made Song too ambitious;
And soundly is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the next round hence
I twice presented you a chance to kill,
Which DK did twice refuse: was this honour?
Yet soundly made Song too ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to undo what soundly spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love Song once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for her?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with the fish,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

((I have a sudden, violet fear for blankvers.

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Empty lightbulbs without fishes
Now that Song is dead and gone

Here she breached into the station
Here it was she brought the riffles
Here she tried to kill the zombies
But the zombies murdered her))

That was lovely, DK. /wipes tear

I just hope Shakespeare doesn't reanimate and murder me for butchering his verse.

((I'm not sure which is worse. Being killed by Zombie Shakespeare or a still living Tim Rice or Herbert Krezmer. I suppose at least the latter two must be getting on in the years.))

Play the game and find out. ;D

Amano! Hi Amano! :D
...
Who left? Oh... The fishy. ... So what?
It's better if he died, isn't it? I didn't like him... And Ditzy didn't, either! We're way better off without him!
... He ran off without reason though ... Ditzy did earlier too ... ... Don't do that again, okay? I like you two, I don't want you to go die...

Did you look for any clues yet? Oh... You didn't? I'll search for one, then!

Yeah, that's actually a good point. Song had the worst relationships out of everyone, and if left alone you'd probably have started spiralling into hatepairs of doom a la the first round. So it's actually probably for the best that's she's gone! Sorry, soundlyParanoid.

song...

EEEEEEEEEEEE
SO MUCH SHAKESPEARE
I LOVE YOU



THIIIIIISSS MUCH

((TELL ME that last one is going in the fanart thread.))

Probably, now that you mention it.

...if I remember, at any rate.

Yes. This. PLEASE.

YOU GO DO IT NOW, YOUNG MAN /stares down

I suddenly feel so, so satisfied.

Yes, please do tell us in detail how it feels to have murdered a fish with your own hands. Or my hands. Or is it our hands? Ha... haha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The deed is done.

:D

Here, let me answer your question with some laughter of my own:

((I just realized when I played the demo the text of one of my survivors dying was THE EXACT SAME. And she was a police officer, too. I wonder if it's because officers are so badass it takes more to take them down.

... when you think about it, if she hadn't been badass, the test wouldn't have gone ahead. IF SHE HAD BEEN USELESS, SHE'D HAVE BEEN ALIVE TODAY.))
