[Filtered to the Vic] Entry 3. Zombies Aren't Bad!

[derpenter]

Oof! I've been so busy fixing the holes I forgot to check my journal. I should write a note and stick it on my head so I don't forget next time, yup yup.

So... Why are we shooting at zombies? Have I missed something important again? By golly, I hope we're not trying to hurt them! I know some mighty nice zombies like Mr. Tilt, yup yup. But not many

I too have known some fairly nice zombies.

But, if you care to observe, these do not seem to be on the same order as those zombies.

[derpenter]

Really? How can you tell?

[nohoppityskip]

Most of the zombies I know wouldn't be caught de- undead, rather, shambling towards a town in an army of zombies.

And I don't think it's a protest. No signs or banners.

[derpenter]

Oh! That makes sense, yup yup. I nearly got stepped on last zombie protest, but they kindly shuffled around me once they saw me. I didn't realise they belonged to a group.

You're real smart! I'd never be able to figure that out on my own, by golly.

...Ah, so you must be a Kropmork-Nakh...resident. Or former one at least. That is the only place I know of that has such a peaceful zombie population. Well, peaceful, minus Mr. Shoe...

Logic, that's all it is.

[derpenter]

Wow, you're amazing! Yup yup, I grew up in Kropmork. You sure must know a lot to figure that out, by golly! I know I wouldn't be able to. I'm not too good at the logic thing...

I thought zombies were always peaceful, by golly. Why do these ones want to eat us? I don't think I'm very tasty.

[nohoppityskip]

I've been there quite a few times, even if I'm not from there. Observing one's surroundings also helps quite a bit when figuring things out, I've found. And logic, I believe, is merely a matter of practice.

Apparently not always. But perhaps these are not zombies created by any natural means. The creations of a madman, perhaps? An Igor who let his experiments get out of hand? We'll see.
