We’re back kids!
There was an unplanned, unofficial, and unintentional hiatus, but Zombageddon has now returned and Chapter 12 is officially up!
An apology short is also on it’s way, and will be posted here sometime this month, probably. Thanks for your patience, and I hope you’re having a better summer than certain fictional characters we all know and love. ;)
Zombies sure do spread quickly, don’t they? Here’s the map or the infection, as of Chapter 10. Fun Fact, I’m terrible at geography, and have zero business making maps, but I hope you’ll forgive me because this is actually super fun. Also, I can edit this map without wifi, so it’s one of the few things I can actually do without wifi.

Summary:
Generally speaking, going on a road trip with your friends is a good thing. Just you and a few of your favorite people, plus miles and miles of open road and maybe a few terrible playlists to pass the time.
But this road trip has something extra. Specifically, a zombie apocalypse. Kind of a fun killer. Or, well, an everything killer.
Especially if they fail. Because they’re trying to do more than just survive, more than just save their families. They’re trying to save the world.
There is a bright side though. Final exams don’t seem half as stressful as they seemed three weeks ago.
I-90 E, WASHINGTON
Driving with Bill in the city had been horrifying, but he had taken a calmer approach now that they were on a road that was clear of zombies to hit. Since the highway out of Seattle had been blocked off they had taken the back way out of the city, and as the sun had set they’d found themselves on a twisting road across the water from the city.
It might have been scenic once, the city of Seattle on the horizon, the lights of the city reflected on the water, it would have made an excellent post card.
But now the city was burning. There was smoke rising from most all of the buildings he could see, and the flames created a morbid silhouette across the sky. The city he’d been calling home was now on fire, overrun by zombies of all things.
He looked back to Bill when the truck started slowing. “What are you doing?”
“I don’t like driving when I can’t see, and the headlights attract attention, another thing I’d rather not do. We’ll keep driving in the morning,” he said, pulling the car over to the side of the road. “You cool with sleeping in the truck?”
“Yeah, that’s fine,” Dipper said. He couldn’t imagine it’d be safe to sleep anywhere else. “I’ve got dibs on the backseat though.”
Bill rolled his eyes, “And here I thought I had picked up a college student, but nope! You’re actually an awkwardly tall twelve year old.”
“Har, har,” Dipper said, crawling into the back seat and balling up his hoodie to make a pillow. He turned to look out the window again, at the burning city. “What do you think is gonna happen? Will the government try to put it out? Do they even know there’s a fire?”
Bill was quiet, fiddling with something in front of the radio, probably is ancient iPod then. Then a very familiar guitar riff filled the car.
“Oh my god, you can’t seriously be this much of an asshole,” Dipper said. Bill smirked at him as the singer came in. “Oh my god, you so are.”
“Smooooke on the water! And fire in the sky,” Bill sang along, and Dipper groaned into his arm.
“That’s not funny Bill,” Dipper said, “People are dead. That fire was caused by a zombie apocalypse. And you’re mocking it all with Deep Purple.”
Bill laughed at him. “Oh come on, this song is amazing and you know it.”
“That doesn’t make it any less inappropriate,” Dipper said.
“Go to sleep, Pine Tree,” Bill said, “We’ve got a long day of driving ahead of us.”
KGW: Bites
By: Shandra Jimenez
It has become clear that the zombie virus mainly travels through bite. It’s difficult to say why this is, but the working theory here at KGW is that there’s something in the saliva of the infected that, when introduced to a healthy human blood stream, will turn the bitten into a zombie. The time from the initial bite and when the victim turns is, as of yet, unknown. It seems to vary from case to case, but it is unclear which factors cause this variance. What we know for certain is that if the bite is fatal, the infected will rise within two minutes of death, if the victim survives the bite they grow feverish and will display symptoms similar to the flu until death, which usually occurs within twenty-four hours.
How to Prevent The Turn
There are no known cases of someone healing from a bite, and while the initial bite isn’t always fatal the ensuing symptoms are. If you or a loved one is bitten, there is only one known way to stop the turn, and it is unsurvivable. If someone who is bitten sustains a head wound, they will not rise as a zombie. This is bittersweet, because while you won’t be able to save the bitten, you will be able to lay them to rest and give them a proper burial. If you have any information on other ways to prevent a bite victim from turning into one of the infected, please contact us immediately. Our phone lines may be down, but we still have access to email, radio, and social media.
How to Identify a Bite Wound
If the wound is visible, it is fairly simple to tell the difference between a bite wound and any other kind: simply look for teeth marks and missing flesh. Bite wounds don’t tend to be clean wounds, and often times a large chunk of flesh will have been removed. However, not all wounds will be visible, so it is important to learn how to spot the symptoms of a bite. Those who survive the initial bite will begin to show flu like symptoms within an hour of the bite. Fevers, excessive sweating, paleness, dizzy spells, runny nose, and nausea are all possible symptoms. If you encounter someone who is exhibiting these symptoms make sure you check them over for possible bite wounds immediately.
Other Means of Infection
There are no other confirmed ways to become infected, but it would be unwise to assume that there are none. For your own safety, we recommend sequestering anyone who has been scratched or who has gotten the blood of the infected in their eyes, mouth, or an open wound for twenty four hours. If the person in question does not develop the symptoms associated with a bite in that period of time, they likely never will.

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF THE ARTS THE END OF THE WORLD
“Come on, let’s get the car loaded up. I wanna get out of here as soon as possible, we’ve got a lot of driving to do,” Pacifica had always known her friends were the best, but even she didn’t expect them to be willing to go with her into a zombie apocalypse. It really meant a lot to her.
“What should we be packing?” Mabel asked, “What does one bring to the apocalypse?”
“How about food!” Grenda said, getting up and digging through the cabinets.
“We should bring foods that are easy to cook and that won’t go bad,” Candy said, “And that won’t use water if we can avoid it, we may need to conserve water once we get there.”
“Pop Tarts it is!” Grenda shouted.
“Oh! I better grab Waddle’s food too,” Mabel said, “I doubt we’ll be able to find it up there.”
“Wait, what?” Pacifica said, looking at Mabel with confusion. “Mabel, we can’t bring a baby pig on a quest to save the world.”
“Why not? He’ll boost moral!” Mabel said, picking up said pig and giving him a hug.
“He’ll slow us down. What if he wanders off and gets lost?” Pacifica asked. Mabel was silly, but she was smart too. She would see reason on this. “He’d be safer if he stayed home, and so would we.”
“What? Paz, I can’t just leave him here alone,” Mabel said, “Someone needs to feed him, walk him, and cuddle with him everyday!”
“Could we ask a neighbor to take care of him?” Pacifica asked, “Didn’t Ms. Ashwood watch him a few times?”
“Yes, but she flew out to her brother’s ranch in Texas when the quarantines started spreading. She said cutting off cities would lead to rioting and looting and she didn’t want to be here for that,” Candy said, “Most of the people who were in the building are either already gone or about to leave, actually.”
“Those boys who go to Canyons are still here,” Grenda said. Mabel frowned.
“You mean those wannabe frat boys who asked me if I was having a Hawaiian BBQ the first time they saw Waddles?” she asked. Pacifica flinched, she remembered that day. Mabel’s reaction had not be pleasant.
“Okay, so maybe not a neighbor,” Pacifica said, “But there’s got to be someone who can watch him.”
“Yeah. Me,” Mabel said, “Please can he come Pazzy? Please?”
Mabel was making The Eyes™ again. The ones Pacifica could never say no to. Dammit. “Fine! But if we leave the car he needs to be kept on a leash and kept quiet. Deal?”
“Deal!” Mabel said, excitement lighting up her face. “Come on boy, let’s go get your harness!”
Mabel rushed out of the room with Waddles in her arms, and Pacifica sighed fondly. Waddles would be fine.
Soundtrack Master Post
newdog14 here! So, it’s come to my attention that some of the songs I’ve been pulling inspiration from are obscure and/or difficult to find, so I decided to make a master post for them all! This post will get updated along with the story, though I would recommend not listening to the songs until after you’ve read the chapter they go with, because some songs may spoil things for you a little bit. Enjoy!
