[There's a harsh KA-CHACK of a gun cartridge being set into place, followed by a deep, slow chuckle.]

NOW we're talking.

All of you who don't enjoy bleeding, stay the hell out of my way.

[electroniccrane]

Do they not have fire discipline where you're from?

[She's...almost bantering, and there's the sound of her racking the slide of her own weapon.]

[psychoticracer]

Oh, you misunderstand. I only aim at things I'm prepared to shoot.

((Another dark chuckle.))

[electroniccrane]

Tch. You'd waste ammo on someone who's just going to come back?

[psychoticracer]

If they get in my way, they need to be removed from the field. It's faster and more efficient to spend one bullet than to -

((A piercing zombie shriek comes through the comm.))

AH! Sonova -

((Erol seems to be mildly sensitive to the pitch. Owie.))

[chorusangel]

[Oh, Erol, this is just adding insult to injury. Really, she promised not to tell you to be careful anymore - the least you could do is not put yourself in situations where she's simply dying to say it.]

...Erol?

[psychoticracer]

Hmm, yes?

((He's completely unaware of the spot he put her in. Hey, at least he sounds happier than he has since the Torn incident.))

[chorusangel]

[Well, at least he's enjoying himself. That's certainly an improvement, and she shouldn't do anything to spoil it. Now, what can she say that she can tell herself means something along the lines of 'be careful', but won't sound like it to Erol?]

Good luck.

[And don't get yourself killed, or Christine will be very annoyed with you.]

[psychoticracer]

((Well... that actually made sense to him, for once. Way to go Christine!))

Will do.

((It's almost like he's replying to what she meant instead of what she actually said, the way that a normal well-adjusted person would.))

[waywardassassin]

Having fun, Commander?

[He certainly is. Cadence has been having fun for a while, ever since the Left 4 Dead flashbacks stopped.]

[psychoticracer]

You've no idea.

((Pew pew.))

Or perhaps you have. Any luck with that cleaver of yours?

[waywardassassin]

Plenty. I have experience fighting zombies.

[Video game experience is still experience, okay? At least he knows to go for the head.]

[psychoticracer]

Hmm. Must be inconvenient to have to get close-range enough to sever the brainstem with a hand-held.

[ruinedwrath]

Wanna make a contest out of it?

[psychoticracer]

Such as what, "who can bag the most zombies?"

Kid stuff.

[ruinedwrath]

Not when it's my sword against that clumsy toy you call a weapon.

[psychoticracer]

Clumsy.... toy.

You're on, you snot-nosed brat.

What's your count.

[sandpaperbreath]

Don't y'dare hurt passengers.

If I ask fer backup, you're getting your ass in gear and coming.

This has to happen.

[psychoticracer]

You are such a spoilsport. Not all of these passengers deserve your protection, Torn.

((But his tone is mild, and Erol clearly isn't bent on disobeying. He's having too much fun to muss it up with something like chain-of-command problems.))

Yes yes and more yes

[sandpaperbreath]

[There's a blast of static.]

That's sweet, but I haveta disagree.

Bonus points if one of them is injured.

[psychoticracer]

You're honestly suggesting that little shit Kadaj doesn't deserve a stray bullet?

((Bang. Another perfect headshot. GOD he loves his gun.))
