[ 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 ]

[ dude. dude. you're great and your abilities are awesome. ]
You said it, though — I'm pretty sure we're gonna be out of luck with anything that doesn't outright knock them out or incapacitate them badly enough that they literally can't move. We don't even know if they feel anything else but hunger. [ the information they got had a lot of stuff about the virus, how it spreads, the symptoms, loss of cognitive faculties... but nothing about whether pain is enough to override the hunger. if it's not, they're shit out of luck. ]
no subject
Ah. I like you too!
[#socialcompetence]
Um, but yes. Assuming they react like healthy and sane people will get a lot of us killed, I'm very sure of that.
no subject
(he also resolves to talk to Giorno about friendships and his awkwardness at some point, but you know, maybe a very public post about zombie defending strategies isn't the place for it.) ]
... right.
Anyway — yep, pretty much. I mean, I'm guessing a lot of stuff will get a lot of us killed if we're not careful, but... I don't know. Do you think there's even a chance for a cure?
[ because honestly, he's not entirely sure. they call it a disease, sure, and that implies there's something... but it's also a virus. you can kill bacteria with antibiotics, but viral infections need vaccines or antiviral medication and both are much more difficult to develop. ]
no subject
I think there could be, but we would have to stay incredibly focused and, frankly, hope for a miracle to find one in this time frame. A vaccine takes ages to develop, and--I don't know. I'm dubious about it being a virus proper, honestly, it sounds more like a prion-related disease. If it's that, it's fatal, period.
no subject
... yeah, [ he agrees, worrying his lower lip. it's both concerning and a relief to hear Giorno speak about this so frankly; foolish optimism never got anyone anywhere, so it's good to see at least some of them are approaching this with realism. ]
If we're there on a similar timeframe as before, that's not giving us a whole lot of time to contain a virus, avoid being infected and develop a cure. And if you're right and it's not even a virus... I'm not saying we should just pass the entire idea of a cure, but we might be wasting time on something that's not gonna be even possible.
... I guess we'll know more when we get there. [ after all, he hadn't been sure any of the Deemers could be saved; and some of them were. maybe this is a similar case. maybe there's something they can do for these people. ]
