[ Day 11 ] Evening

[germansuplexed]

[The walkie talkie crackles to life and the sounds of a person on the verge of tears and trying to catch her breath at the same time sound over the channel.]

I-I really think that you can stop joking around now, senpai! I don't know how you pulled it off but the zombies aren't funny, okay? I don't want to know what it's like to live in a horror

[Have a weird electronic voice talking to you, Yui. :|b]

Unfortunately, it seems that we're stuck here. Are you safe, at least?

[germansuplexed]

[Yui does kinda jump at the voice but it doesn't sound like what zombie would sound like. Can zombies even talk? No, it has to be more like a groan or a moan, right? Better double check, just in case.]

You're not a zombie are you?

[notursalvation]

[There's a brief surprised silence, then he chuckles.]

No. No, I'm still alive and human.

[germansuplexed]

[There's a sigh of relief on the other end.]

Oh thank, god! I was going to pee buckets for a minute there. [She pauses and tenses up again.]

But why do you have the funny voice?

[notursalvation]

I have no vocal cords.

[germansuplexed]

No vocal cords?

[notursalvation]

Right. My voice box is artificial, which is why my voice sounds mechanical.

[germansuplexed]

[Excuse Yui. She doesn't think before she speaks. And as she does, her voice goes up a few octaves.]

So something happened to them before you came here? Or did the zombies do that? [She clutches her throat] I don't want my vocal cords ripped out! Being paralyzed was bad enough!

[notursalvation]

[Fortunately, he's really hard to offend. He chuckles again.]

It was before I got here. I don't think most of the zombies will be that specific about hurting you.

[germansuplexed]

[Yui better be grateful for people like that then.]

You never know! Those things can be pretty vicious.

[notursalvation]

I can't disagree with that.

Are you going to be safe on your own?

[germansuplexed]

[Oh right. Back to the whole, 'I'm helpless' issue.]

I really don't think so.

[notursalvation]

Do you know where you are? What island and town?

[germansuplexed]

I have no clue. I thought I saw a sign out there somewhere that said 'Dingli' on it though. Is that any help?

[notursalvation]

[He's checking his map for a moment.]

My companion and I are several miles from you. We'll be headed back that direction in another day or two, if you think you can wait for us. If not, I can double back and find you.

[She thinks it over for a minute. The place she's ended up in doesn't look like it has a lot of food, but she doesn't want to bother this man either.]

I-I'm not sure if I have enough food here to last me that long. I don't want to bother you though.
