Fucking Walkers Tho

Cierra Hamilton, 22. That's all there is to it now.

— Who knew stale cake would ever be a delicacy.

[cierrahamilton]

Marie-Antoinette, maybe.

[toughasxnails-deactivated201405]

Well thanks, Cierra. Now Summertime Sadness has wound it’s way into my brain. Maybe that’s what started the outbreak. Does kind of make me want to tear a throat out.

[cierrahamilton]

Don't blame me, I have This Is What Makes Us Girls stuck in my head.

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

That’s because no one with at least one moderately functioning brain cell wants to live in Wyoming. And yes, that includes walkers. You’d find your first braindead, feral cow before you came across one of them.

—Hey, if I knew, I’d tell you. Not tryin’ to start any conflicts that don’t involve me and corpses. Good. We could all use it.

[cierrahamilton]

And yet the amount of people that flocked to Yellowstone. It's a beautiful place to visit. Guess not to live? Unless you're horse crazy.

Trust is probably one of the most valuable resources these days. I don't give it up so readily. I'm not lacking in the appetite department however.

[ashfleshandbone-deactivated2014]

My guess is they had as much of a chance as us.

[cierrahamilton]

They had private jets and helicopters, they still edge the rest of us out. I bet Johnny Depp is sipping Margaritas on one of his two private islands.

[toughasxnails-deactivated201405]

A craving for booze? Karma? All the leather jackets and ripped jeans? Take your pick.

[cierrahamilton]

LDR is like, the last thing I associate leather jackets and ripped jeans with. Maybe it's just annoyingly haunting weepiness of her voice.

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

It’d be hard to steer clear of cities, but that does sound like a trip.

Nah, but we managed to get you restocked, and then some. Coming to the barbecue? It’s not like you won’t be in the area.

[cierrahamilton]

Not really I mean, there's literally thousands of miles of open country and back roads between here and there. In fact, a smart thing to do would be to detour into Montana which if I recall correctly is the state with the most guns. Or was. I wouldn't be surprised if there are still a bunch of humans alive and well and feeling vindicated about the 2nd Amendment. Maybe it was one of the Dakotas though I can't remember but it was somewhere like that. And Wyoming was the least populated state so there are probably not many walkers there.

That doesn't soothe my suspicions but it's a start. Yeah, I will, I haven't had a real grill in a right long time.

[ashfleshandbone-deactivated2014]

Look at the bright side; she might be dead.

[cierrahamilton]

That does actually make me wonder what happened to all those Hollywoodian celebrities.

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

Trust me, if we had champagne, I think our number of problems would be significantly reduced.

Found you some tape on that raid. Should be in storage.

[cierrahamilton]

Maybe we should move westward to California and raid the leftovers of all those wineries.

Excellent, did you ever find the culprit?

[cierrahamilton]

How is it that even in the middle of the goddamn apocalypse I still get fucking Lana Del Rey    songs stuck in my head?

So not amused by her white girl™ champagne problems right now.

[toughasxnails-deactivated201405]

There has to be more around here — it’s duct tape, everyone had it in their houses. Whether it was for business or pleasure.

[cierrahamilton]

The point of having a safe base like this is to not need to leave it that often. Leaving to go on raids is actually the reason I need the duct tape in the first place.

[toughasxnails-deactivated201405]

Not guilty. What do you need it for?

[cierrahamilton]

Does it matter? I need it and I can't find it.

[corruptxed]

That’s the one.

[cierrahamilton]

What even was his name again? Erick? Malek? 

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

I was going to suggest a party, anyway. No use in wasting a prime opportunity for a supply run, and I wouldn’t ever offer to send someone outside uncovered. Even our most capable aren’t immortal.

—Basic models, single rations, obligatory post-raid inspection. Got it. I’ll discuss your terms with the others. …If we manage to pull this off, this could be really good for us.

[cierrahamilton]

Not everyone has the finest critical thinking skills and some people let stupid things like pride get in the way. I'm glad you're not one of them.

Yeah. And make sure to let them know I will scalp someone if I don't see that roll of duct tape soon. It's actually pretty useful for outings in general, I use it as an added layer of protection.

[corruptxed]

I don’t like the one. The taller, dark haired guy, with his arms always crossed.

[cierrahamilton]

With the intense eyebrows? 

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

Walking and talking is within my capabilities, I’m sure. One of the girls in my group noticed that there are grills stationed in the backyards of nearly every house around here. We have charcoal at our disposal, and I’m sure we can spare a little lighter fluid and a match—what do you say we get in something resembling a well-balanced meal for one night? More, if we conserve the charcoal.

[cierrahamilton]

Good for you.

Fine, but on the following conditions: 1 - You go with minimum four people, maximum six because I want people taking a part and carrying the grills, one sentry and one person raiding the houses to see if more charcoal/fire/fluid can be found. 2 - You bring the grills back here, we only need one or two and don't waste time on the fancy ones, go for the easiest ones to disassemble. 3 - We can cook all of our meat to help conserve it but this is a meal, not a feast, everyone gets single rations. 4 - everyone gets searched and inspected upon re-entry. Deal?

[corruptxed]

The one kid seems pretty suspicious. 

[cierrahamilton]

Very funny. 

Question is, who's the shadiest?

[soldierxbennett-deactivated2014]

Uh…wasn’t me. But I have been looking for you.

[cierrahamilton]

Why? Make it expeditious, I need to find that roll before someone uses it all up.
