I just gotta say, a moon zombie encounter was exactly what I wanted for my birthday. You guys sure know how to make a person feel right at home.

But seriously, what the hell was up with that and can we nix that from the schedule in the future? If there are other zany, undead surprises lurking around here, it'd be great if you could give a head's up ahead of time.

I think I'd have liked to go home even better. But then again, who wouldn't, right?

[blondtactician]

I suppose I would have, yes. But there are those who have made their home here, against all odds.

And those who would be engaged in a gruesome fight if they went home, as well.

[shotup]

That seems a little hard to believe. I can't imagine not wanting to go home. [But he's only been here a week, what does he know?]

[blondtactician]

I've heard people say they've had it worse where they're from.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry there were those things to arrive to. This situation is difficult enough to acclimate to when we're not in the middle of such a mess.

And ah, happy birthday, I guss.

[shotup]

Thanks. But I probably do have it easier than most.

[blondtactician]

Oh? You don't have to answer if this is out of line, but were you fighting a war back home?

[shotup]

Not at the moment. Back home... well, it's never exactly easy for people like me, but for everyone else, it's real peaceful.

[blondtactician]

People like you? What do you mean?

[shotup]

[Time to put up or shut up, Harper.]

Oh, you know. The kind that put on weird outfits and charge headlong into dangerous situations. People like that.

[blondtactician]

I'm pretty familiar with the charging headlong into dangerous situations, but I'm not sure what qualifies as a weird outfit. [Slight curiosity, and amusement.]

[shotup]

Do you ever wear a mask while you do it?
