"B-b-b-b-bear!! BEAR! BEAR! Yaaaargh! " The pitch at which Micah screamed would have made a three year old girl embarrassed for him. Micah ran behind Alex and held onto his shoulders in a death grip. "W-w-w-wwhat do we fucking do?? EEEeh Fuuuck!"

Patti was as startled as anyone when she heard the cry of "bear!" She spun around a full 560 before her eyes found and locked on the bear. She averted her gaze immediately. Wait, no. Stare it down? Or was that brown bears? Shit. Shit! She had hunted in areas where she was warned about the bears, but now that she was confronted with one, her mind was a buzz and she couldn't remember for the life of her what to do. Her kingdom for some bear mace. "So, um, you said back away, right? Um..." She thought about her handgun. Nine millimeter, bears are supposed to have super thick skulls, right? They usually recommend .357 or higher for bear defense. Birdshot wasn't going to do much either, except maybe piss it off. She started to back up, then bumped into the stroller full of geese, almost falling over it. As she teetered on the edge of falling, she panicked completely. She grabbed onto the stroller and spun it about, landed on two feet, then swung the thing around to be between her and the bear. She looked slightly desperately between Ash and Alex, then back to Ash. "Yeah, backing away." She backed away slowly, keeping the stroller between her and the bear, not thinking for even a millisecond that the contents of the stroller might attract the bear's attention.

"Everybody act like you're BIG. Deep voice, Micah, and stay behind me. Don't run, or it'll chase. Get those geese out of here, please, Patti ... I think it's happy with an arm, for now. But dunno how much he likes bird. And better not shoot. It's bad luck to kill a bear."

"Maaybe we should just f- fuuucking g-give it one" Then Micah deepened his voice. " You know... fu...uuuuck." The large creature could tear a man limb from limb. Micah had never been face to face with something that could eat him. Well apart from zombies of course, but their hunger for flesh wasn't backed up by a ton of muscle and fur. Micah's nails dug deep into Alex's back.

The bear stared at them, the blank face of an animal, small, dark eyes beading on them. It smelled the geese, and approached, unafraid. They were a lot like the very unthreatening zombies. It wanted to come closer, and investigate. It paused, and did the strange weedling weave that bears do.

Alex grimaced with pain when he felt Micah's nails. Yeesh. It was like dating Carly all over again. "S'okay. It ... might charge. Just be prepared." He started backing away, pushing Homeboy along with him. The bear seemed to smell their fresh meat. "Maybe we should drop a goose for it ..."

"Get away. GO." He growls at the bear. He claps his hands and hunches forward aggressively, baring his teeth. He takes a single step forward, and urges Patti to move away with the geese. He was concerned these things were not afraid of them. "GET OUT OF HERE."

Patti heard people talking, but had no idea what was being said. She just kept backing up, until she saw Ash threaten the bear. "N-" she stopped herself before she yelled for him to stop and run. She had to trust he knew what he was doing. She continued to backup, trying to yoga breathe and get control of herself.

The bear seemed to notice they were making loud noises at him, and snuffsnuffed, blinking his little eyes, and then wove back a little, a single step. He was rethinking his bear life choices it seems, and readjusted his grip on the arm. They were becoming dangerous-humans again to him, somehow. Memories of rubber bullets returned, and he slowly turned, like a very large car, and began to move back the way he came.

At the bear's retreat, he exhaled shakily. "In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. At least it wasn't a drop bear, right, mate?"

Patti turned and sprinted towards the car barricade. When she got there, she didn't even hesitate to lift the stroller full of geese to her chest, set it on top of one of the cars, then hop over herself. Se pulled the stroller down and looked back. "Um, you guys coming?" She smiled meekly.

"H-heh yeah, if you see a drop bear, you're already dead. Rubbing vegemite behind your ears h-helps but not peanut butter, that's just fucking stupid....Oh sorry." Micah slowly released his grip on Alex's back, he was too freaked out to noticed Alex's odd American-Australian accent. "Let's get the fucking hell out of here and kill some fucking zombies."

"I'm coming. Are you guys ok? There will be more of them soon...you should be prepared. They seem less fearful now that there are zombies everywhere." He followed Patti and the others, putting a reassuring hand on Alex and eventually, Patti's shoulder. He was also pretty sure the bear could go over or through that if he had wanted to.

"Yup, a-okay. Almost thought we'd lose our geese. You scared it off, though, Dad!" It took a moment, but Alex realized his mistake and blushed furiously. Jesus Christ. He was like an elementary school student calling the teacher Mommy. Maybe nobody noticed. He needed a distraction ... "We gotta find a Segway. Those things are powered by gravity fields, right? Or something like that. Magnets."

"Did you just call Ash your dad Alex? I think you really need a fucking segue instead. " Micah grinned as he followed the others over the cars, lightly jumping over them, pulling off a kash and finishing with a roll. He needed to make up for wussing out over the bear. A tall weedy zombie lurched towards Micah, he was wearing a large hoodie with some trackpants that hung low on his waist. A few chains clinked with his stunted movement. Micah swung the bat at it's head knocking it down before jumping onto it's chest and bringing the bad down on it's skull. Blood splattered upwards staining his jeans and green shirt. Fucking zombie bogans!
