Nut Up Or Shut Up

I don't deserve this, but I'm not complaining. Zombies can't touch this.

[thrillerwaswrong]

What keeps you up at night?

Sobriety, soon to be remedied.

[thrillerwaswrong]

why do you have to make everything into a dramafest

I think the zombies are actually the one’s doing that but ok

[He puts his backpack aside to fish out her prize, grinning all the while.] “Safe and sound, just like your delivery. We gonna do this thing?”

“Ah! yeah just a sec-”

“Feel free to inspect the merchandise! Got two more tomatoes and that can of chickpeas for you too- you’re uh. haha.. kinda savin’ my life here pal.”

[thrillerwaswrong]

What's the plan?

“I’m... not sure. Clara left on a supply run a few days ago, and her explanation was very vague... If she’s gotten herself killed out there......”

[thrillerwaswrong]

hows your food and water situation?

“Perfectly fine and nobody’s business.”

[thrillerwaswrong]

little birdy told me you have fresh veggies! can we see what kinds?

“Well I’m sure I don’t know what that little birdy was talking about, they must’ve been quite the filthy liar, because we would never broadcast such information to the public!”

Hellooooo. Sorry to keep you waiting~

 “Don’t worry about it,”  [Clara stands, stretching and cracking her back as she does so.]  “Just glad you got here safe, wouldn’t want the can of chickpeas I found on the way here and the bag of vegetables to go to waste y’know?”

[thrillerwaswrong]

Tell us about how you got your doggy! And does he know any tricks?

“Yea, can’t use most of them though, I’d never let him go after an infected.”

[thrillerwaswrong]

What was the scariest close-call you've had with a zombie?

“About 8 months ago a few kids from a raider camp showed up at our place... and I mean kids. 17 and 18. Hah- Tiger and Sparky. They didn’t really wanna hurt anybody, they were just scared and didn’t know how else to get by. I took ‘em in after that, Viv didn’t like it but she doesn’t like anything.”

“...I guess they fought through a hoard to get here and uh...”

“Didn’t tell me.”

[thrillerwaswrong]

[Heavy Sigh]  “He’d better fucking show.”

[thrillerwaswrong]

Why have you stayed in one place so long?

It’s safer that way, if we have a good setup and don’t see too many Zombies anymore then why leave it?

[thrillerwaswrong]

"Stupid fucking- 'don't use tinfoil' I'll use my dick as an antenna if I fucking want to-"

"Will you stop fiddling with that thing and do something useful for awhile?"

"JESUS SHIT do not EVER do that to me again!"

"Well I'm sorry, but really Clara, it's time to come out of radio-dreamland and back to the real world."

"There's people out there! Viv! Real live people! What if we find our people? Thesp- Claus- Payton- My Payton- Craig- your Payton! Don't you want that!?"

"What I want has nothing to do with it, if you fixate on this for as long as I know you're going to you'll forget about what's really important; keeping this settup we've got, keeping this place purged of infecteds, staying alive. I know it really seems like I'm holding things together for us, being the strong one, the backbone, keeping you sober, but... I'm scared Clara. You're the one who's good at killing those awful things. I can't do it by myself, I need you."

"...."

"You're right- I'm getting too distracted. I'm sorry."

"...Of course I'm right, apology accepted... Now please do let go, you haven't bathed in much too long for this to be tolerable."

[thrillerwaswrong]

Are you still with Thespi then?

I don’t know where he is, where anyone is, I literally just said that.

I think they meant dating Clara.

Oh???? No? We never DATED anon we just. Had similar taste in cute boys or something. It’s whatever.

You do know that’s disgusting right?

[thrillerwaswrong]

because you're dating him?

oh- ohhh i see what happened ok, wrong Clara anon, sorry about that. But Viv doesn’t need to worry because everyone is just-

“Craig” refers to my homes Payton right? He’s dead.

What?

We thought he was dead when he came here in the first place, but this? He can’t sit through scary movies by himself- of course who would want to they’re dreadfully tacky. But my point is he isn’t smart or capable enough to survive all this, and I think I know him well enough to tell.

Aren’t you guys like…engaged? 

Your point?

[thrillerwaswrong]

Where's craig?

Dead or with Payton... or they’re both... Fine. They’re probably fine. Thesps probably fine. Everyone is fine. just. separated. but probably fine. ...Why just Craig?

[thrillerwaswrong]

No other survivors though?

There’ve been a few but not for a long time... I’ve tried to help whoever I can.

Yes and your “helping” has gotten us robbed three times. Worse- We’ve let infecteds into our sanctuary because you pitied them.

I didn’t know they were infected! They hadn’t been bitten!

It’s airborne, and you know it. Not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to immunity, and that doesn’t mean we’re obligated to drag in every charity case you find on the side of the road. They’re monsters Clara, not wounded puppies. We’re lucky you didn’t get us both killed.

...I know ok? I get it- jesus I’m an idiot is that what you wanna hear?

I’m not saying this to hurt you, I’m saying this to protect you. To protect us both.

[thrillerwaswrong]

Only one Zombie? On the WHOLE run??

I’ve been in this town long enough to purge most of those fuckers I guess. Still get the ones that wander in but hordes don’t so much happen here anymore.
