I've been investigating voodoo magic and this word showed up in the books a few time so...

..What's a zombie and why do I need a flamethrower?

And what's a flamethrower?

[omgggggggg flashing back to last Halloween and the zombies and werewolves and vampires]

Zombies are reanimated corpses that want to eat your brains. And, well, if it's burnt to a crisp it can't eat your brains, can it.

And why my brain? Why not the flesh?

[omg it was so awful for ed :| he got turned by a vampire and wanted to snack on his friends /let's not talk about what badou did to him while he was unconscious]

Can't really say. But maybe because the brain is soft tissue?

So are other organs If they're trying to gain knowledge with that I don't think it's the proper way to do it.

A zombie's just a dead body that can still walk around and attack people. Set them on fire after you kill them and the won't get back up later as a faster Crimson Head zombie when you go back through that area to get to the save point.

Ah wait, that's just in R*sident Evil, and those are virus zombies. I don't know anything about voodoo zombies.

I've never heard about resident evil before either. Is that a town? Still, thanks for the information.

So, there's no way to kill those corpses and keep them dead?

It's a video game series!

Ah? I think all you have to do is destroy the head.

Oh, of course.....What's a video game?

Sounds messy.

Depends on the kind of zombie. Some of them would just turn into flaming zombies, and that's kind of worse.

Well, going by all the movies and video games, yeah. [she laughs a bit.] Don't freak out so much, they're no re--

[then it sinks in...this ship. She's talking to a frog. Zombies could very well be real.]

Uh. Scratch that. Knowing this place, they probably are real. Geez. But why voodoo?

They weren't real in my world, I think.

Because a voodoo sorcerer turned me into a frog and I was trying to find a way to change my body back to human, madam.

Ah. Zombies. I've read of those There are several kinds created by differing methods. Unfortunately, I don't have those books with me, so I can only say what I know from memory.

The kind you mentioned, voodoo, are created with fragments of souls controlled by the voodoo caster and inserted into a corpse. The corpse becomes animate, and is at the will of the caster. It is similar to the necromancy variety, although, unlike necromancy, a voodoo zombie requires the body be biologically active, thous it must have an intact corpse, unlike necromancy, which can make do with parts, or a skeleton. Furthermore-

[She continues to talk on the subject. It doesn't seem like she'll be done anytime soon. So much for "only knowing from memory"...]

[And Naveen listens because he's interested, really.]

You know a lot about it.

Re: Voice; weekwizard September 20 2010, 19:18:50 UTC
It's not much, really. I only had about a bookcase worth of zombie material; most of it showed up from the world mine is linked to. I know the most about necromantic zombies, given my studies of magic I may have something here about the kind you're asking about... As you said before, a large portion of my personal notebooks showed up in my room...

As for the flamethrower question, that's a human device that, as the name suggest, shoots flames when used. It works well against voodoo variety since the flames break down the muscle tissue required for movement. However, it doesn't break them down right away, so for a good minute or so, instead of having a regular zombie after you, it's a zombie on fire. Recommended dispatch of voodoo zombies is by crushing or removing the head.

I'm glad to know that you manged to find at least some of your books. Studying magic must be really entertaining.

I don't think that such weapon existed in my world. Neither did zombies....thankfully.

Fire zombies, bad. Headless zombies, good. Got it.
