Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

Daniel returns from his walk only to recieve a fork inch-deep in his shoulder the minute he steps inside. The headless zombie has somehow built a crude crossbow from kitchen untensils, and is using it to launch smaller, sharper kitchen utensils at him. Is that one of Jenee's thongs he's using to--?

How can the headless zombie know exactly where you are when he takes aim?
 
You can have Shocken-whatever for a buck. There's not much demand and there's a coffee stain on the cover. No access to the basement, though. You'd end up being sucked into a non-Euclidean dimension, or being driven into gibbering madness or something.

And speaking of the guy with a fork in his butt, I really should do something about this headless Zombie problem.

...well you see that's what I'm here for. It's my job to remove the soul-sucking monster from your electrical system. I have a special tattoo on my... well nevermind where. I have a special tattoo that protects me.

Please don't make me call my unit supervisor. Lets just say LAST time this happened she destroyed all of Tokyo... and that was over a minor billing error.


Oh and thanks for the book. hands over money

I don't know that's why it's so scary!

It's aim is VERY good:eek:.

(Promises to self never to attack a busy zombie with a baking tray and pizza cutter ever again)
 
The Crazy Cat Lady manages to remove a manhole cover. She starts to do a crazy dance in an attempt to lure the zombie towards the hole.
 
"Use the manhole cover as a shield! It's got a crossbow!" Daniel advises from his phone, still hidden behind Hippy Lady's sofa, as he pulls a fork from his thigh. The one in his ass won't budge.

Cat Lady, maybe you should ask Leo to chase the zombie into the hole. I'll bet he'd do it quite effectively! Want me to go get him for you? He seems to have taken a liking to me.

Good idea. If he can't get the zombie into the hole maybe he can finish eating it.
 
(slowly catches on) HOLY SHI* THAT'S A ZOMBIE! :eek:

runs back out to the Utility Company Truck and grabs the EWOK RIFLE

EVERYONE STAND BACK! I'M FROM THE GOVERNMENT... I'M HERE TO HELP!

loads an Ewok into the massive rifle and takes aim...
 
*watch beeps*


Oh hey, lunch-break.

*puts rifle back in truck and wanders down the street to the diner*



(seriously, gotta log off. good night everyone. :) )
 
Thor Damar walks on to miscellaneous street after a long and relaxing vacation. Stunned at the unholy slight before him he drops his luggage and stumbles towards his bar.

What the heck happened here? I go away for a couple of weeks and its Dawn of the dead and world war Z out here.

quickly ducks an errant bullet.

Where's the sob who I left in charge of my sodding pub?

Looks closely at one of the approaching zombies. Sighs in angry disappointment.

Never mind...

Thor Damar swiftly draws his personal handgun and shots the unlamented former barkeep in the head. He looks around in bewilderment a terrifying realization stealing across his craggy face.

Say, none of you guys have been in my basement at all? I had some stuff going on down there...

Ziyal stands in front of the Crazy Cat Lady's house calling, "Here Leo, here kitty..." Four hundred pounds of sandy fur comes loping out the door and follows follows Ziyal down the street. He is clearly listening to Ziyal's explanation of what is happening and what needs to be done. Leo suddenly starts to quiver and takes off like a maniac...

When Ziyal catches up to him, Leo is crouching behind some shrubs, watching the nearby zombie very intently, moving nothing but his tail. Twitch. Twitch. Twitch. POUNCE! Leo plays w/ the zombie as though it were a field mouse, tossing it in the air a few times before swatting it directly into the uncovered manhole. He stands guard over the hole until that useless utility guy (What did he say his name was, Flashsomething?) pushes the cover back over the hole.

Ziyal doesn't know much about zombies, so somebody else will have to figure out whether anything else needs to be done about this one.

But she does know a good cat when she sees one. She reaches out her arms, saying, "Good kitty!", and Leo jumps right up and starts purring. Ziyal heads off w/ Leo to find the Crazy Cat Lady.
 
Looks at watch.

TO SELF: ...whadda I care. Union job, I get paid double-triple time and half to stand here. They don't want me to pull the eldritch horror from beyond time and space off of the electric meter so be it. I don't know WHY we just can't tell people that the electric grid is infested with power-sucking-cthulhu-spawn... Nooo don't want to cause a panic do we... well whadda I care this is a union job I'm getting double-triple time and half to stand here...

Looks at watch again

Ice wonders back into town whistling contentedly and wishing there was a bank in town. The bank in the next town has to do then. He notices a utility guy snopping around and talks to him. Finding out that he's here to investigate something odd about electric meters in town, Ice points to the Hippie Lady's place.

Dude, if there's any home on this street with something odd going on electrically, it has to be that one. I can read by the light coming from her basement window...and I'm two houses away and upstairs.
 
After a night ... good sex (not great because despite Daniel's protestations to the contrary, he definitely was not up to the usual after having a fork stuck in his butt), Jenee heads off to Chicago for a conference.

Have a good day everyone!
 
Daniel bids Jenee farewell via melodramatic long kiss goodbye in the middle of the street, and vows to have to coffee shop fully fixed up by the time she returns to him.

Daniel is moderately concerned with what will happen when his programming kicks in tonight. He begins to contruct a cage in the basement.
 
TO SELF: Mmm that's some mighty tasty Italian Wedding Soup. Got chunks of real Italians in it. Delicious. Anyway. Back to work.

dons goggles, grabs Ewok Rifle out of truck

TO SELF: Now... where is that Godless zombie....

loads an Ewok into rifle


 
Hippy Lady is somewhat confused. Now while this is a normal state of affairs for her, yesterday had been a particularly confusing day. She could swear that the nice boy from the coffee shop had a fork stuck in his butt (must be a form of Extreme Acupuncture) when he stormed into the house and hid behind her sofa, and had called her to tell her about the zombies. Why he called her when she was sitting on the sofa the whole time was beyond her. She was also surprised to see a woman who wasn't Crazy Cat Lady have that very, very oversized kitty follow her like a lamb. Kitty did his job, apparently, because the nice young man received a phone call and came out from behind the sofa. Hippy Lady pulled the fork out of his butt when he walked by, but she isn't sure if he noticed.

The basement had been cleared of any evidence. Do your worst, utilities boy!

Flashover, read post 473. You trapped the zombie in the manhole after Leo the cat chased it there. Since you don't remember, you must've been walking around like a zombie yourself. ;)
