Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

While being loaded into the ambulance, Daniel grabs Jenee with his good arm - "The fire may not have been an accident. There's already been one murder. Be careful! If whoever it is gets me in the hospital - avenge me!"

Is it the morphine, or does Daniel suspect something? Just as the ambulance doors close, he yells one last thing - "...and for God's sake, Jenee, put some clothes on!"

The ambulance drives off.

That's odd ... Daniel's never been overly dramatic before. and paranoia isn't something he's prone to ...

... so what's with his sudden need for clothes?

When he jumped out the window, he landed on his head first.

The night did not go well for Daniel. First, bad reactions to medications. Second, shoulder surgery. Third, his Jenee-lovin' programming kicked in at the normal time, only he was alone in hospital, injured, delerious and somewhat sedated. Nurses were called to stop the crazy naked man wandering naked around the wards like a Vulcan in the Pon Farr blood fever, screaming "Jeneeeeee! Jeneeee! Where are you! I need you! Jeneeeeeeee!" and acting extremely inappropiately towards several female patients whom he'd druggedly mistaken for his beloved. He was eventually strapped to the bed, which caused traumatic flashbacks to how this all started.

In the early hours of the morning, Daniel's room was empty, his restraints broken. He was found in a broom closet, his head shaved, Romulan glyphs biro'd all over his face, mumbling "That planet will burn...!", "prepare the red matter!" and calling all the male nurses and doctors "Ayel".

He has been kept for psychological evaluation.

Proof.

Ice grabs a couple of helpers and some Tommy guns and heads out after Jenee and the Crazy Cat Lady and wondering why RJ was staring out the window, holding his crystal ball, and laughing manically while the two of them tussled in the street?
 
^^ Er... I accidentally picked up an episode of Mary Tyler Moore. It was the one about Chuckles the Clown.

Hmm. I'll see if I can find something that will preserve him without making him get up and walk around
Did you try to do this? If you did it actually had the opposite effect,
It wasn't me!

What, pray tell, is the Jeffersonian?
What Crazy Cat Lady said. They can figure out anything. And Angela is adorable.

Uh oh. The Zombie seems to have made it onto Central Avenue.

Jenee carried Daniel to the coffee shop, laid him down in bed, tended his wounds, washed the biro marks off his face and (as gently as possible) satiated his programming. Daniel sleeps peacefully for the first time in several days. In his sleep, he mumbles something about trying to get his head-staving grammar correct in the future.

A zombie roams the streets, and in the creepy tool shed in the woods, an unconcious (or dead?) guy that may or may not be the murderer and/or arsonist lies in a heap next to his torture implements.
 
Ah, who knew that Happy Mushrooms could be made into incense sticks? And didn't the children sleep well. Really well. Really, really well. For three days.

Hippy Lady makes a mental list to patent her invention, advertise it in parenting magazines, and choose a tropical island to buy when her first millions start rolling in.

A sudden commotion outside makes Hippy Lady look out the window. She recoils in horror at the sight of the zombie, who was muttering something about brains. Why, oh, why are zombies never vegan? She spots the goat-muttering tramp walking along with the zombie, the latter having made no apparent attempt to get at goat-mutterer's brains. Hippy Lady isn't all that surprised. She stares at the zombie from behind her twitching curtains, trying to make out what is left of his features. Are they familiar? Hippy Lady isn't sure. Perhaps she should light another incense stick. For medicinal purposes.
 
Jenee has clear, yet traumatic memories of the first zombie movie at the tender age of 10 years, so she gathers up all the scrap wood she can find and boards up all the doors and windows ...
 
Daniel awakens feeling sore but well. He starts helping Jenee board up the coffee shop against the forthcoming zombie apocalypse, but then realizes that they're out of tea. Without tea Daniel cannot survive.

Daniel is gonna have to go out and find some.
 
Jenee kisses Daniel and wishes him luck, and hands him a list:

Coffee
sugar
bread
milk
ice cream
donuts - with chocolate icing and those little sprinkles on top
potatoes
bananas
peanut butter
olive oil
center-cut pork chops
boneless skinless chicken breasts
frozen green beans
frozen corn
marshmallows


"oh, here, don't forget the cloth grocery bags!"
 
While keeping an eye on the roaming Zombie through the front window of the Bookstore, RJDiogenes researches Zombie spells in his forbidden tomes. He begins to realize that there are a lot of spells for creating Zombies, but apparently not a lot for deactivating them.
 
*Uh oh. What exactly happened when I read from page 137 or whatever it was? What was supposed to happen? And did my mangling of it actually cause the zombie incident? Some sort of slow-acting transformation spell? If it can transform a dirty, muttering bum into a well-dressed man with a carriage, could it turn a corpse into a dirty, muttering zombie? *

Deranged Nasat doesn't actually think this, though. He's still lurching along with his new friend, though he is becoming a little concerned. They've passed several perfectly fine doorways and a sheltered alley without the new guy showing any signs of stopping. There were plenty of bins around, too.

He offers the guy another cigarette butt, but all he seems to want is brains.
 
Hmm. The Cinderella Spell does rely on very precise pronunciation. Do you say "po-tay-to" or "po-tah-to?"
 
Daniel decides to watch DVD's of Resident Evil: Extinction and Shaun of the Dead to prepare for his little shopping trip.
 
The Crazy Cat Lady believes that her cats will protect her from the zombie especially her cat Leo and her cat Stripes.
 
Hmm. The Cinderella Spell does rely on very precise pronunciation. Do you say "po-tay-to" or "po-tah-to?"

Looking at another book in their unique stock, Ziyal determines that the correct pronunciation in that particular spell is actually "PO-tah-to."
 
All caught up on zombie combat tactics, Daniel puts the shopping list in his pocket, grabs a heavy shovel and steps outside...
 
After an uneventful shopping trip, Daniel's nearly back at the coffee shop when he almost bumps into a pair of zombies! He swings his shovel a few times, then dives behind a bush. The two zombies are right between him and his destination.

Peeking out at the shambling crimes against nature (thankfully they're old-school slow zombies, not those fast modern types), he thinks he recognizes one - isn't that the hobo who helped Jenee fix up the coffee shop? Actually, that could be either of them. Daniel decides he's gonna run past, taking a full-strength swing at one on the way to the safety of the coffee shop. It should be enough to sever the head, killing one of the zombies.

Thinking of how brave and heroic Jenee was to single-handedly rescue him from the madman in the shed, Daniel picks one of the two zombies at random, raises his shovel and with an incoherant war cry, charges...
 
Daniel furiously chops the head off of one of the zombies. The other readies to strike, but is immediately decapitated as well...with a strategically hit baseball with a bomb inside, courtesy of MLB.

Both men immediately hoist a beer up high to celebrate their victory. After finishing the clean, crisp, cold beverages, loud belches ensue. Strangely enough, at this noise, another crowd of zombies - who had been watching this whole thing - immediately collapse to the ground, dead (or un-undead). This can only mean one thing...
 
I hope that you didn't just decapitate our local tramp/hermit who just happened to be walking along side his zombie friend.
