[ with the new mission on the horizon, and a rather desperate need to keep busy and distracted, lance has decided to put together this informational psa for all those who may benefit from it.

so. like. maybe two of you. ]


Yo! So with Woodhurst coming 'round the corner, many of you probably haven't had the chance to brush up on all six films of the Brawn of the Dead series but that's okay! Your resident Zombie Apocalypse Expert is here to help you out.

[ he's watched pretty much all the zombie films available on earth, ok, he's practically a PhD. ]

While it's pretty much impossible to gain my level of expertise in the single week we have left, I managed to break down the most important things to remember during a Zombie Apocalypse. [ complete with handy, dandy infographics! (blame whoever got them the drawing app ok.) ]

Lesson one! The buddy system.


ALASTAIR's got it right with their advice. Anyone who's ever seen a movie about characters being hunted by something can tell you right off the bat that the second you decide to go solo? YA DEAD. Total rookie mistake! Don't do it, don't even think about it, don't even think about thinking about it. Doesn't matter how slow the zombies are, or how many of them there are. Always have a buddy with you. And honestly? You're not gonna wanna go through any of this alone anyway.

If no one's coming to mind, just give me a call. My name's Lance, and I'm gonna be a college student there, and those guys never need reasons to be anyplace weird anyway.

Lesson two! Weapons.


Standard zombie movie weapons tend to be something light, hand-held, easy to hook onto your belt or carry around in a bag. Guns are okay, but unless you have unlimited ammo, it's a better idea to also have something that doesn't need replenishing. But remember we're also trying to blend in here, so busting our your swords and magic might not be what you wanna do... but also who cares when it's just you, an empty alleyway, and the not-so-dead. Tire irons are a classic, also kitchen knives, but it's important to remember: anything's a weapon if you can throw it hard enough.

And finally, lesson three — [ there isn't an infographic for this one. this time it's just lance, staring straight into the camera, the mood of the video suddenly quite serious and somber. ] — this is all real.

[ he shifts a little, uneasy. ]

I know the mission's primary objective is to contain this thing, keep it from spreading. And we should definitely do all we can to make sure it affects as few people as possible... but these are real people, you know? Real people, with real lives... real families. None of our objectives are for finding a cure, but man do we have some real smart people on this team. Real smart. And, like, magic, you know? Magic and science and all that stuff, from all over the universes. If you have that many people, from all these different backgrounds, with all these different skills then it has to be possible, right? That's just... that's math. So with magic and science and math on our sides, there's no way we can fail.

[ he got away from his point a little, so he backtracks into it. ]

What I'm saying is — be careful. Do what you gotta do, but if there's a way for you to save them so we can one day cure them, then... do that too. [ the please goes unspoken, but the sentiment is definitely there.

after a moment, he seems to bolster himself back up to the energy he'd had when he began. ]


And that's it! Questions? Thoughts? Apples for the teacher? [ ;D ]

Of course it will. [she beams proudly. yes. yesssss.] I've taken out a quartz soldier in a corruption frenzy with just one metal rod. I'm unstoppable.
slapfight: (△ plus breaking and entering)

[scoffs] Can I make cages...

[wait... can she?]

...I've never actually tried. Theoretically, it shouldn't be that difficult.
slapfight: (△ i've never slept late)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-01-27 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
That... [she's going to protest. she really is. but then...] .. Is exactly something Steven would suggest.

[sigh] I'll try.
slapfight: (△ so much gooder than you and you)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-01-29 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
He's from my- [she pauses, frowning at her own use of the possessive, unsure if she has any right. then, remembering her bubble and its place in the barn (ergo "home"), she adds, with renewed confidence.] My Earth. He's back there now, having feelings and singing, and doing... Steven things.

[hngh. she misses him so much. and lapis. and amethyst.

and garnet and pearl, to be honest.]
slapfight: (△ these pigs are for SCIENCE)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-01-31 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I have those!

[because it's important for her to note, excitedly. even if it hurts, she has FRIENDS to MISS, and they probably miss her.]
slapfight: (△ hey that's creepy! you're creepy.)

[personal profile] slapfight 2017-02-03 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
No! [even more delighted] Steven's a half-human gem hybrid, and the rest are other rebel gems, just like me! They view me as their leader.

[Peridot no...]
