[It's pretty early on the second day of the event--it's only just turning light outside--when Souji turns his camera on an interesting device he's made from stuff he's found around the area.]

I had to make one of these for a project in middle school. [He turns the camera around to point at himself.] I thought it might be handy if we manage to draw a crowd.

[Next, he turns the camera on a pile of junk--but heavy and sharp looking junk--that he's gathered. Based on his other zombie-event experiences, this stuff should work well enough.]

I'm going to need a hand to try it out, if anyone has some time.

Holy trashpile. That looks -- amazing. Junk that throws more junk! Can I try it, can I try it, please please please please?

[eatsyourscience]

[YES.

Or rather, Souji nods.]

I have to test it a few times to see how far it can throw stuff. You can definitely help.

Yessss! We can set up targets or -- just skip that and go straight to beaming zombie skull! I've been working on a junk pile, I've definitely got stuff we can toss.

Great. I've got a few things together, but I'll run out after just a few tests, probably. Do you need help to get that stuff over here?

[brainmeme]

No, I'll just--

[Transform into someone big enough to carry it all? That's... not an option right now.]

...Ugh, yeah, I guess so.

It's pretty annoying, isn't it?

[He can sympathize somewhat.]

Where do you have it? I'll come over.

Annoying? It's the worst! [Grumble grumble. But okay. Now's not the time. They've got stuff to chuck.]

I've got the stuff behind the supply building.

[When Souji comes to find her, she'll be half-buried in a huge pile of trash, assorted dangerous-looking stuff, the kind of stuff you shouldn't be half-buried in. She turns to greet him when she hears him approach, but then freezes and sucks air in through her teeth.]

Ow. Ow. I think I stepped on a nail. Holy wow that hurts. Okay.

[She plunges her hand into the garbage pile and tugs an old wooden board with nails through it off of her shoe and tosses it over her shoulder.]

...Hi. Everything's fine.

[eatsyourscience]

...Are you sure?

[Because that can't even be true. At all. He comes closer, moving some debris out of his way.]

Maybe you should come out of there.

Yeah, I'm starting to think swimmin' in it wasn't such a good idea? Who knew humans were so fragile. One little poke of a nail and now my boot's swimming in red goop!

[She climbs out and wiggles the injured foot, enjoying the sticky feeling of grossness.]

That's blood. We should probably bandage it before we do anything else.

[And maybe give her a tetanus shot.]
