Ricky- "Maybe Jordan has some scot--"
Rafael- "Jordan doesn't have any scotch. Hey, we should go scavenging for booze sometime soon anyhow, right? What was your name again?" Alex. "Sounds like you have a shopping list in your head, and I do too. Wanna go scavenging some time?" The cars were loaded. Everyone was trying to be quiet and unobtrusive, but the zombies outside the car maze were increasing in number and agitation. The sun was bright and clean. Tarina came out with some overstuffed duffle bags on his arms and headed to the waiting people. He had looked cheerful, but his face soured at the sight of the undead. Tarina- "Damn. That's an ugly crew. Maybe we should thin 'em out before we take off, huh?"

To Rafael, Alex said, "Sure, yeah, my shopping list is massive. Scotch, paper, more shirts ... Let's plan something after we cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war." Without another word, he rushed at the undead, baseball bat held high. Alex had to weave through some cars to reach them, but that didn't slow his charge!"Mister Ashley! Watch this!" Batter up! He smacked the nearest zombie head with perfect form. The resulting CRACK reminded Alex of the good old days. He really did miss running around a diamond in knee-high socks."Home ruuuuun!"

Tarina grabbed his staff and swiftly moved through the cars. He was distracted at the last second by Alex, but had enough reach with his weapon that the creature didn't even get close. He caved in the face of the human corpse, sending it out of sight between the immobile cars. Then, to Alex he said Tarina- "Hey, don't attract too many more zombies, man! We're trying to make the trip easier." Rafael, then Ricky moved to join in the violence. Rafael- "Time to go to work."
Ricky- "Uh, OK." Rafael noted Alex's bravery and thought, Yes, this guy will help me get that precious, precious booze. ...Much like Ashley would have imagined he was thinking. Rafael was pretty athletic from some previous, less indolent time of life, but also a little weak from dissolution. He compensated by being extra careful once he was within striking distance of a foe. Ricky had never been an athlete, but was still hale with youth, and by now experienced at the job.
The non-combatants waiting for the convoy to begin made yucky faces and averted their heads as much as possible. Roselle- "Dégoûtant!"

He stares at Alex, and then grunts, and gets to work caving in heads. Boozers, the lot of them, he never wondered why he was helping them, he knew it was because they needed it, but by god, sometimes he hated his job. His...self appointed job. He shook his head and kicked a zombie in the face. "We'll keep it down. Alex, no shouting."

"Yes, Sir. Can I talk, though?" Moments later, Alex was talking, though it wasn't clear whether he was speaking to Tarina, Rafael, or Ashley. In all likelihood, he didn't care."... so I was thinking ..." *crack* "... I need to move on. Stop dwelling on the past. But how? Duh. Dance. Obviously." *crack* "I'm planning a re-imagining of Le Jeune Homme et la Mort. Like, all new moves, same essence: guy is driven to suicide by his girlfriend, and the story plays out through motion. It's totally soul therapy. But ..." *crack* "... if' I'm le jeune homme, who will be la mort? Good question! The answer? My shadow. Is that deep, or WHAT? I'm a poet!" *crack* "Plus, I'll be exploring dark themes. That's important, because ... well, because the number one tactic of war, besides chivalry, is know thy enemy. I don't think I understand death well enough to fight a death magic army ," he said as he bludgeoned another zombie to redeath.

"No, we just have to understand what magic made these damned things return to life, and then undo it. Make it so no more evil dead can return to this world. It would end their reign and stop more from coming across to kill us. Stopping them is the only way that we can win." He was grim, and seemed less than happy being here, but more than happy to crack zombie heads. He too, pretended this was a home run. He did not stop to think that he might resemble Al Capone more closely than Babe Ruth at this point in time.

Tarina- "Ashley's talking sense. I don't even know what Alex is talking."
Rafael- "It's a different subject. Ashley thought he was talking solutions to the global problem when he was actually just talking about how to cope with the situation as it is. Like... I think. Anyhow, maybe dance is a good idea! Our best fighter is dancer, ya know?"

"Brian? I've never seen him fight. He's probably like a jaguar. All fast and deadly. Rar. Huh. Huuuh. He'd make a good mort. So, seriously, HAVE NONE OF YOU SEEN LE JEUNE HOMME ET LA MORT? Wow. That's really sad." In his state of dismay, Alex was getting loud again.

"Alex, you're shouting again. What are you talking about? Le Jeune Homme Et La Mort?" He stares at Alex in confusion. "...We don't need to meditate on death, Alex, there is enough of that around us. We have to concentrate on life and staying alive."

Someone had an opinion about opera, at least. Roselle- "Opéra de la merde!"

Roselle- "Zen why do you want to do eet? --" The last englesque word caught in her throat when she accidentally looked at some gore Alex had created sliding slowly off the car beside him.
And so it went! Alex learned that lady is an oldish hippy that lived in Seattle a long-ass time without ever getting fluent in English. So lazy! Roselle, the resident hare krishna. With fuss and furor, they got the people from El Corazon to the 320 building, only to have to turn around and take some of them away to the Tower 801 enclave!
Still an early start meant an early finish. By early afternoon, the new 320 residents were unpacking on the 3rd floor of that building, the escorts to Tower 801 had returned, and people could do whatever they liked.
What does your guy do...?
