[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.

Only if by good you mean "the best," then yes.

[eatsyourscience]

I didn't, but now I do.

How do you get to be "the best"?

action;

[thebetterone]

Lots and lots of training. Not everyone gets to be born with powers.

[but she doesn't say it like she regrets it; she's seen the downside of powers plenty of times.]

It's pretty impressive to be the best without having powers. It says a lot about you, I think.

[thebetterone]

Thanks. I've definitely put in my share of work. [beat] Ready to kick some zombie ass?

[eatsyourscience]

Yeah. This thing seems to be working pretty well, so I'm hoping it'll be some help.

If it isn't, though, I can bash them with a pipe or something.

Or a cricket mallet.

Have you seen one of those lying around?

[thebetterone]

No, it's -- movie reference from home. I keep forgetting I can't do that.

[eatsyourscience]

Ah. Sorry. [...] What movie is it?

[thebetterone]

Shaun of the Dead! It's a comedy about zombies.

[eatsyourscience]

That sounds like a weird thing to make a comedy about.

[...]

But, actually, I can see how that could be really funny, too.
