ITP: Sartorial Misapprehension & other stories

[tinmedalsoldier]

[There's a young man in uniform arguing with a couple of zombie tourists and their ever-increasing pile of luggage.]

Look, for the last time, I don't know where this hotel is, and even if I did, I'm still not a bellhop!

[So, business as usual for Camp, really.]

((Intropost, standard warnings apply, offer void in Utah, etc.))

It's pointless to argue with them, you know.

[tinmedalsoldier]

I'm starting to pick up on that.

[mud_on_lace]

If they're bothering you, you can just run away, you know. They don't move very fast.

[tinmedalsoldier]

A musketeer does not flee from combat!

... although sometimes they turn the ship around and sail the other way, but that's not the same thing.

The zombies can be a bit slow about conversation, but I think there's a bigger chance for them doing favours if you listen to them in turn.

[tinmedalsoldier]

So I should help them find this "Chateau du Zombi" place because there's a chance they'll help me out later?

[positivetocrash]

Well, there's not much of any other reason to keep up a conversation with them otherwise. You could try to just walk away.

[tinmedalsoldier]

And leave them in possession of the field?

[bettermounted]

They are rather hard to convince, aren't they?

[tinmedalsoldier]

That's kind of an understatement. The big kind.

[bettermounted]

It may just be easier to ignore them. If you stop to listen to every zombie here, you may find yourself quickly swamped with requests.

But if you do want to show them to the hotel, I could tell you where it is.

[tinmedalsoldier]

You mean there's more of them?

I wouldn't mind showing them, it's that they expect me to carry everything for them that bothers me.

--Ah!!

[tinmedalsoldier]

[... wait what.]

[immelmahhhnn]

It's the rifleman!

-- the mechanic rifleman!!

[tinmedalsoldier]

... [Sigh.]

It's Mullin, Dio. Mullin Shetland. Where's everybody else?

[thepiltdownman]

I dunno, man. If they say you are...

[tinmedalsoldier]

What? I think I would know... Somebody would be paying me!

[thepiltdownman]

Not if you were voluntold.

[tinmedalsoldier]

I... don't think that's a real word.
