Attack of the Poorly Inspired B Movie

[deaths_heritor]

[action, for 308 Miller Street]
[Sometime shortly past noon on Sunday, there is a black-cloaked woman walking through the door.  As in, literally through it.  She's unruffled, though her voice carries a tone of urgency.]

Grandfather?  Grandfather, we need to talk.

[Also she is carrying an extremely sharp sword dripping blood and other messy body

[Tiffany is in the middle of hitting a zombie in the head with a cast iron frying pan. She also has a hanging at her waist. Just killing the neighbours in the front lawn.]

That sounds like good homework.

[deaths_heritor]

I thought it would be excellent groundwork to prepare you all for the Red Badge of Courage.

[Susan chops the head off cleanly.]

Would you care for the honors?

[the_wee_big_hag]

[And smash goes the head. Tiffany pulls some heat from the sun and soon the corpse is burning on the driveway.]

You wouldn't happen to know why dead people are walking around would you?

[deaths_heritor]

Undead. And I haven't the least idea, but it's beginning to grate on my nerves.

[the_wee_big_hag]

They're quite annoying.

[deaths_heritor]

Undead and unattractive. Perhaps they'd be better off underground.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Yes that might be nice.

Everything going well at your house?

[deaths_heritor]

Can't complain. Secret bunkers, hiding from zombies, 'supervillains' everywhere... About what I'd expect.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Super-villains?

[deaths_heritor]

...Find yourself a copy of 'Batman' in the comics store someday. I certainly can't explain it.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Oh....I've been reading a few comic Sealand let me borrow.

[A pause.]

.....

Your fake husband is a super-villain isn't he.

[deaths_heritor]

Now how on the Disc did you guess?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Because I have him as an ethics teacher. He fits the profile out of anyone in your house and because from reading comics I've figured out if you name sounds like anything it means you're a super-villain. E.Nigma.

[That had been sarcasm, but Susan doesn't make a fuss about it.]

It's rather a ridiculous name, isn't it? Yes, Edward and his friends like to keep the 'Batman' busy with their antics.

[the_wee_big_hag]

[Tiffany likes to answer sarcasm. It's something of a bad habit.]

Just a little.

....Batman?

[deaths_heritor]

I can't say much for the resemblance, unless bats started to wear underwear on the outside of their pants when I wasn't checking.
