[Hey look guys, it’s a network post from your ole pal, Bill! No, not the lizard and shame on you for being disappointed by that revelation! Yes he is a triangle, yes he is stunning and thankfully he doesn't seem to have packed any extra entertainment to explode into his broadcast today.]
“ALL RIGHT WONDERLAND, I think it’s HIGH TIME someone ASKS the BIG QUESTION-- just HOW MANY OF YOU come from the LAND OF LIVELY CORPSES?!
I GET IT. OUR ROTTING BRETHREN are CHARMING ENOUGH. IF anything the REST of you MORTALS should be like THEM. At least ZOMBIES ACCURATELY DISPLAY the TRUE HORROR of what BEING ALIVE FEELS LIKE—slowly SHAMBLING towards your DEATH every PASSING SECOND, you CAN’T KEEP YOUR PIECES TOGETHER and all you WANNA DO IS GRRRRROAN-- But I tend to LIKE a little VARIETY in my TORTURE! SO I wanna KNOW, just how many more MINDS do we gotta CYCLE THROUGH before we’ve VISITED ALL of your TRAUMA-- because I swear, if I have to GO through ANOTHER REALITY where I FAKE a BLOOD TEST, I just might have to START STOCKING UP.”
[The triangle’s lid narrows at that, an unpleasant memory from Genosha flashing momentarily into his retina.]
“Now either we’re FAILING SOME KINDA TEST every time these SUCKERS COME BY or WONDERLAND’S started PICKING FAVORITES…”
[And if it’s the latter, he really would like to know.]
“Anyway, you KIDS LOVE CONSPIRACIES; so LAY EM on ME! I think we ALL KNOW what HAPPENS when you DON’T~”

Then, there is a solid clunk, a close-up of the floor, and an audible sigh.]
Um.
[The video tilts, wobbles, and there is some effort taken in picking the slim phone up in half-numbed fingers.
Then, it's the same zombie whose sentience gave Bill such a surprise. He looks cleaner, though still too pale to be mistaken for alive, and is sitting up with a plain wall in the background.
... Speaking of zombies.]
[Video]
"YES, R. I might have EXPECTED your WORLD to have REANIMATED PEOPLE in it. WOW. WHO'D-A-THUNK IT."
[Despite alternating deadpan and patronizing tone, the triangle does look highly amused. This is one person from an event that he doesn't mind engaging with a little more. He'll wait a little moment to give the guy a chance to speak.]

Um... Hi?
Look, I don't really know if there are zombies in my world thanks to mostly living in an underground laboratory... But if there were, as a robot I don't really need to worry about them. Much. Assuming they can't chew through steel. Which is a pretty good assumption to make when most zombies fall apart easily.
And I dunno why we're getting so many zombie people, but maybe they do need a break from 'em. It's only fair. They deserve some time off from fighting the undead horde. Don't you think so?
[Video]
[This is... where is this? Bill blinks a moment, trying to parse why an entire entertainment stage appears to be giving this message. He searches for the speaker, cycling through every image and instance of himself spread throughout Wonderland to get a better angle, not yet finding Wheatley's display.]
"IT's NOT ABOUT if they're a THREAT. I don't even have a BODY, GENIUS. Those SLOBBERING MUSH PUPPETS got NOTHING ON ME!"
[He continues his search. An empty hall way, the vacant attic space...]
"HEH! A BREAK. If WONDERLAND wanted to GIVE EM ONE, it wouldn't be SHOWERING us in TEA FUELED by THEIR NIGHTMARES!"
[He pauses as he parses the implication in that statement.]
"..So you DO think the FREQUENCY we see these things is TIED to the NUMBER of our INHABITANTS?"

More importantly, must everything you say have some layer of morbidity or being pointlessly threatening to it?
[Video]
[Still, he did ask, he supposes he'll give the lady a pass.]
"You got a PROBLEM with that? LIFE's a JOKE, I'm just GIVING out some PREMATURE PUNCHLINES. Besides, TALKING about ACTS OF VIOLENCE is better than actually ACTING on them, ain't it?"

[Blame her uncle. But he hasn't mentioned zombies, so Jolyne thinks Wonderland's probably safe from more Jojo zombies.]
[Voice]
[Nevertheless she did answer his question with the minimum amount of sass, Bill supposes he can relax his demeanor.]
"ASSUMING WONDERLAND bases its EVENTS on MINDS and not LOCATIONS, it might HAPPEN again-- from another SAP'S MEMORIES. ANYONE else here FROM that CHARMING HOMEFRONT of yours?"

audio | also GOOD LUCK HACKING THIS--BECAUSE YOU CAN'T it is very much on lockdown
Ford isn't sure whether he's angry or relieved, or if he's angry at himself because he felt the slightest twinge of relief.
He quickly and thoroughly buries those thoughts, feeling slightly better after launching a pillow across the room into his bedroom wall, shouting an obscenity, startling his dog.
The thing about hate though, is that it's exhausting. It burns and it burns you up inside; sometimes bright hot, sometimes it smolders, but it's always there consuming energy you could be using for feeling anything else. Hatred of Bill, hatred of himself, hate for his parents' neglect, hate for his own twin--they've always fueled the fire. And now that his life has reached the happy ending he feels he doesn't deserve, most of those have burned away, leaving him to feel empty.
Happiness and love have replaced the bulk of his emotions in earnest--it's not that he ever stopped feeling those things of course, but after many trials by fire (trials of his own making) his motivations have changed. What propels Stanford and the trajectory it takes--those things have changed for the better.
Where does that leave Bill?
It's a human trait to try and resolve conflict, Ford tells himself, but there's a point when he knows he has to let go. And yet, the last time he did his best to put the triangle out of his mind, Ford was woefully unprepared for the disaster of Bill possessing Mettaton. Keeping his eyes off Bill and his motivations could have had catastrophic consequences--motivations Bill eventually shared with him while they were plagued by, wouldn't you know it, invisible zombies.
Months have passed. The two haven't really bothered each other at all.
If there was a conclusion to their relationship, it wasn't very satisfying. When Ford is unsatisfied, the inner furnace of vanity lights up again and he just can't help himself.
He should be more irritated that they both agree on something, but what would be the point? Bill is occasionally right.]
Please. Like knowing who comes from a dimension populated by the "undead" [you can practically hear him using finger quotes] could actually stop Wonderland.
I suppose keeping a catalog of who has what kind of zombie makes sense, but it wouldn't really accomplish anything.
[WHY IS HE ENGAGING THE TRIANGLE? WHY DOES HE HAVE THE FEED HEAVILY LOCKED?
We just don't know.]
[Audio]
"You're DARN RIGHT it WOULDN'T-- CONSIDERING that kind of thinking ENTIRELY MISSES THE POINT."
[The triangle huffs, an entirely unnecessary audible clue, he hopes will accurately convey the sardonic look he would like to level at his longtime mortal acquaintance. Honestly, Ford, you're supposed to be the smartipants, here! Does he have to hold your hand for everything?]
"It's not ABOUT what FLAVOR of FLESH ROT came from WHERE, it's about HOW MANY PEOPLE the IDEA is COMING FROM in the FIRST PLACE! What if it TURNS out THERE IS only a LIGHT SMATTERING of SURVIVALISTS? why VISIT THEIR nightmares more OFTEN than the REST of YOU SAD SACKS? If WONDERLAND was ROUTINELY hitting up the SAME PERSON repeatedly, I'd say that's PRETTY IMPORTANT INFORMATION to KNOW, wouldn't you?"

[They're pretty sure that's the case, anyway - they'd not remembered any monsters, aside from the signature and very much unseen zombies, which means he must have been just as affected as the rest of them.]
[And none too pleased about it.]
[Video]
[Bill eyes them warily before continuing, it has been some time since he engaged with anyone from the world of the Underground.]
"A WEEKEND EXCURSION in a SUFFER PUPPET I can HANDLE; it's having my ESSENCE SCRAMBLED AND RECONSTITUTED into a FORM that can't HANDLE my OUTPUT that GRINDS my GEARS. My INTELLECT and THOUGHT PROCESSES don't TRANSLATE to HUMANITY. How'd ya LIKE TO BE CHOPPED INTO PIECES and CRAMMED INTO a SHOE UNTIL YOU FIT? It's LESS FUN than it SOUNDS I ASSURE YOU!"
[And if ANYONE could derive enjoyment from that process, it would be him! So yes. He is none too pleased, to say the least.]
"It's FORGETTING WHO I AM that TEARS IT; as AMUSING as it is to have the REST OF YOU interact WITHOUT A CLUE."

You know, I don't think this place only goes through people's memories once and then moves on. Pretty sure we'll get hit at least a few more times by zombies or worse things.
Also two questions:
1. You faked a blood test? [ Triangles bleed? ] 2. Do you actually have a plan to change the way ppl influence events? Because last I checked, it wasn't in our control.
[text]
So that's ANOTHER VOTE for 'POPULATION NOT BEING a KEY FACTOR and WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE ANYWAY.'
1.) SURE DID! BET WONDERLAND enjoys seeing it GO TO USE after how MUCH EFFORT it must be to SHOVE me into a MEAT SUIT.
2.) I LIKE TO THROW WRENCHES into MACHINES and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AND AT PEOPLE. AND JUST at THINGS IN GENERAL. The only SUREFIRE WAY to NOT BREAK a MACHINE is by DOING NOTHING. And not HAVING ENOUGH WRENCHES. Get yourself a WRENCH.

Except you'd think that gods wouldn't get stuck in a place like this.]
So the popularity of zombies is recent, then? I mean I was here for that dumb one in the canyon, but it sure does seem like this place just really loves dead guys.
[video infinity]
"AS 'RECENT' as a PLACE WITHOUT the CONCEPT of TIME can BE."
[But hypocrisies aside..]
"DEAD is the new FASHIONABLE! FORGET BEING ALIVE, CORPSIFY yourself to be HIP WITH the END TIMES!"
The MAJORITY of you PEOPLE seem to SURVIVE every ENCOUNTER. Maybe, for once, WONDERLAND WANTS you to DIE?"

Unfortunately, today he's hit one of Stan's buttons, and Stan can't resist chiming in one the subject to complain.]
The whole zombie thing's overdone by now - besides, what's the point of zombies in a world where everyone comes back to life? The whole thing's stupid! Wonderland's obviously runnin' outta ideas if this is the best it's got.
[Then again, Stan is rather biased on the subject.]
