safest of intros

Oct 31, 2011 11:27

[Caroline is sitting on top of her trunk. She's got her new laptop, she's got her old luggage, she's squinting down the barrel of the shotgun. It may be pointing dangerously towards bystanders. The safety is off. She's fiddling with...things.

Beware.]

Hey, does anyone know how to use this thing?

[the safety is applied! is her quota of terrorized campers up to snuff?] So I've been told. [gun is now pointed at the ground] Now I can be armed and dangerous on purpose.

[she's messing with you a teensy bit]

It's for the zombies. [nonchalantly]

[nods after a second]

They're pretty unnerving sometimes. But they're also slow and not very smart, so avoiding them is fairly easy.

Everybody else seems to be handling them better than me. Everytime I see them out of the corner of my eye... [SHRUG]

No, I know what you mean. I like zombie movies, but that doesn't mean I ever wanted to be in one.

My boyfriend likes them. [she's more an arthouse type] I always enjoyed a more cerebral threat.

That is disgusting. [she appreciates it!] So how long have you been in camp?

[disgusting and also clever, you mean]

About four or five months now?

So, has your life been threatened previously in this time? [she is trotting out this question to assorted campers]

Um. Not here? I mean, I heard that there's supposed to be dangerous stuff happening during October, but I just stayed in a lot and was fine.

[waaatches you for a beat, half-smiling

not gonna ask about 'before', because she figures it's not her business, so she just sticks to basics]

I guess I have to bow to peer pressure and admit the zombies might not be a looming threat to local populace.
