[For no mere mortal can resist]

[skullkingabout]

[There seems to be a shortage of zombies in camp today. If you choose to follow the trail of gnawed on limbs to the outskirts of the forest, you'll find there is a very good reason for that absence.

... for varying interpretations of 'good.'

The more mobile zombies have been herded into a group and are apparently re-enacting the Thriller Dance.

Wow. Look at 'em go!

[jyankenpwned]

I've... never seen anything quite like this... What do you think it means?

[gourys_usernaem]

Gosh, I dunno. Can't say I'm really into inturpentine dance.

[jyankenpwned]

...Inturpentine?

[gourys_usernaem]

Is that what I said?

[jyankenpwned]

I think so... is that a kind of dance from your world?

[gourys_usernaem]

No, I don't think so...

Well, I'm sure I knew what I meant, anyway.

[jyankenpwned]

That's... good.

...I don't really like the idea of them all... grouping up like that.

[gourys_usernaem]

They're just dancing. Look how happy they are.

[jyankenpwned]

...I don't think I would define those faces as happy...

[gourys_usernaem]

You think? The ones that have faces seem cheerful enough.

[jyankenpwned]

I think that's just rigor mortis.

[gourys_usernaem]

You're right, it is pretty rigorous for somebody already dead... but it'll probably do them good.

[jyankenpwned]

Huh? No, no, rigor mortis -- you know, when you die and your body goes all stiff?

[gourys_usernaem]

Oh. But they can't be that stiff if they're doing that.
