Patti rolled in casually, looking a little confused. She looked at the group and the grim expressions."Um... what's going on? Ermias just left in a hurry and he looked a little green around the gills."

Alex whispered, "Cannibalism, Patti. Um ... you didn't miss anything worth repeating in detail. Christ." He'd been silent during the harrowing tale, but now Alex took advantage of the lull. A dozen questions competed with each other. "But why didn't you ... how did you ... do you ... I mean, what happened next?" On second thought, it was probably wise to let the pastor finish speaking before starting the investigation proper.
((OOC: That story was disturbing. Heheh. Good job ))

((Thx, DeeK! )) Colqhoun- "...I don't know why... they let me go, but I think... Pastor Mark, he has them all ... cowed? Is that the word? They can't imagine anything anymore, except that ... god damned place ..."
Colqhoun- "They're going to die, oh God..."
Davin- "No, damn it! You just left this morning, didn't you? We can go there and stop this madness! And maybe get some canned goods at the Cash & Carry. Dr. Bebe, I want to be damned sure. Is Colqhoun a ghoul or not?"
Colqhoun- "What does that ... mean?"
Dr. Bebe- "Don't worry about it. Ghouls are sick people, that have eaten the undead, and there may be a cure for them, but we haven't found it yet. Nonetheless, it seems possible. You seem healthy, and it gives me hope that no one is too far gone here..."
Cathleen- "How? I don't understand." Dr. Bebe exhaled deeply and unscrewed her expression. Dr. Bebe- "The victim that we know of died from a head injury, right? That meant that he was never a zombie. And if eating zombies particularly is the cause of ghoulism, then these people may have been spared that disease."
Colqhoun- "I can't... I don't understand..." ((...whatcha think guys?))

Patti's expression quivered, trying to not look as revolted and angry as she was feeling. She was fully confused by the reactions in the room. She was missing something."I clearly missed quite the tale, because I can't see why anyone would be driven to cannibalism and I can't see why any of us would be okay with a cannibal being in our neighborhood." (sorry, not trying to force a rehash, just giving Patti's natural response... sorry I couldn't get in to post at the original designated time... stupid ice storm)

Micah gave Colqhoun a sympathetic look but he was still grossed out. He gave Patti a small shrug."People do fucked up things in fucked up situations. What about the hunger he described, Dr. Bebe?"

Dr. Bebe- "I'm not sure, Micah. We'll have to keep observing, but Colqhoun has no signs of ghoulism."
Davin- "Patti, you're right and Micah's right. This guy ain't moving in until we follow this through, know more about it. But there's three people trapped in Ballard with a sideways cannibal-in-charge preacher, and maybe we can save them from gettin' any worse. We gotta try."
Dr. Bebe- "Agreed. It seems that if a human is killed in such a way that they do not become a zombie and are then eaten, the cannibals do not become ghouls. But they don't know this, and if they eat one more person without keeping the victim from becoming a zombie first, they may yet turn into ghouls - a condition for which we presently have no cure."
Davin "Colqhoun here just left them this morning. Who wants to come with me to Ballard?"
Colqhoun- "I need to go."
Cathleen- "No! You shouldn't."
Dr. Bebe- "He's fit enough."
Davin- "... Maybe it's a good idea. Keep you out of the enclave until we know you better." ((...whatcha think guys?))

Micah sighed, it might be a good chance to prove his mettle. He'd skimped out a bit after Belltown. He had to drop the coward reputation, damn it. Tattoos hurt. How bad could a priest and a few starved christians get? “Alex and I should probably go, we've got fucking ghoul experience. I reckon we should definitley bring some food with us, don't want to end up on the bloody menu. Patti?”

Patti didn't hesitate. She hadn't been on a meaningful mission in several weeks (?)."Yeah, I'll definitely be coming. And I agree with bringing the new guy with us." "As for food, maybe we should bring some fresh stuff in addition to whatever else we bring. The prospect of a sustainable food source beyond scavenged canned goods might make the point better than a sack of protein bars."

Dr. Bebe- "Good luck, people. Colqhoun, this will all be over soon. Our guys are the best."
Colqhoun- "Thank you..."
Davin- "I don't feel like foolin' with Anna, and she's definitely gonna see this as a Helldiver thing. I'm just gonna get my axe and see you guys outside, OK? Patti - get Ashley or Joe maybe? We could use another BA..." ((FFWD to the new special thread!))
