[Barge, here is Shane. Sitting in zero wearing his shirt, left open, rubbing his head looking contrite. When he speaks, it's in a southern drawl with an edge to it, he hasn't had to soften his words in a long time.]

Hello to space ship rehab, home of zombies [Yes the word is mis-pronounced], bad ass blonde ladies who want to be cops apparently and...safety.

[This is so weird, Shane folds his hands in front of him.] My name is Shane Walsh, broadcastin' from...the hole. Or at least your equivalent of the hole because I made a little bit of a mistake an' attacked a guy when I arrived. In my defense, I thought he was a walker - no excuse me a zoombie simply because...

[zoombies are everywhere].

I'm given to understand however that this place has no walkers that are ready to attack, no rovin' bands of people lookin' to harm what's yours, and there's no demented CDC doctor waitin' til this place counts the fuck down before filling the air with some kind of anti-disease measure that will literally burn us all alive. Is this correct?

If I'm wrong about any of these things, I would appreciate a head's up or some kind of warning. Either way, I wish to issue an apology to the guy who I beat. [He sounds sincere.] You don't know me and I don't know you, and it ain't fair for a man to take advantage of another in a moment of weakness so...I apologize for harmin' you. Think of it like spookin' a horse, 'cept this horse shoulda known better.

[Yep. He nods. He can be a big man about this.]

So I'm honestly curious. Is there actually no-strings attached alcohol and food here along with hot water?

...Arthas? [Right to the point] Who's Arthas?

You know him when you see him. Or smell him. But he won't, like, chase you and moan, 'braaaaaaaaains'. He can be a creep, but not like that. At least, not that I'm aware of.

You shouldn't attack or try to kill him, anyway.

Also there are vampires here but that's different too.

...Again, don't attack or try to kill anyone no matter what they are. We're all here for a reason.

...'m thinkin' there's safety here and you're tellin' me there's a walker around? What's this brains bullshit they don' talk.

[There's a small, small edge to his voice] Plus vampires? You're shittin' me.

[Big, howdy grin for the new guy. Straightforward? Dean can do straightforward and to the point.]

And they say I've watched too many Romero films. Look, what she means is there's no one contagious on board, so no headshots because you don't like the way someone's looking at you.

...Who's Romero and how the fuck do you know...this is about the zoombies?

Nobody better be lookin' at me funny then. I'm not gonna try that. You ever woken up in a strange place you never thought you'd see again and suddenly see somethin' out of the corner of your eye shufflin' and making noises and..

[He shakes his head] No. Thank you.

Wow, someone's a bit on the twitchy side.

...you serious? [He frowns]

You don't know me from Adam friend. How the hell is that twitchy...

I don't know what a walker is, but Arthas talks like anyone else.

I think he's just technically... not alive by most normal standards.

Look, the main thing is, you can't just go attacking people on sight. Okay? There are no mindless monsters here to eat you. Unless we go to a port with some. But you'll know if that happens.

...How will I know?

[There's a real sense of unease] They going to hand out weapons to those of us who need to defend themselves?

[No. Don't give him a weapon. He does not need a weapon-as what happened with Kid should illustrate.]

You'll always know when we go to a port. It's impossible to miss.

Ports are always different, though. Sometimes they're nice. Often they're dangerous, in different ways. But we always end up back here, no matter what.

Can I have an example?

Last port, we went to Wonderland. Like Alice and Wonderland? People got beheaded and it didn't kill them. Their heads were just... Separate from their bodies. And when we got back to the Barge, everyone was fine again.

...You're full of shit. [No she is, she has to be] They mighta mumbled. Maybe whispered but fine and still talking?

...Y'sure y'all aren't...walkers somehow?

[Ariadne rolls her eyes.] I carried my boyfriend's head around for like a day.

And do I look like I'm about to try to eat you and infect you with some crazy zombie virus? My name is Ariadne, I live in Paris, I'm an architecture student there. I came to the Barge a little over a year ago, after making a deal with the Admiral to help out a friend back home.

No one here is going to turn you into a zombie, dude.

They don't talk to you.

Edited Date: 2012-11-15 02:09 pm (UTC)

They don't seem particularly talkative to begin with. [Growling, and Snarling]

You can coax out a few words if you try.

Usually things along the lines of "it hurts" and "please kill me."

[Arthas. That was below the belt.] Fuck you. That ain't so.

What, you think they're not aware of what's happened to them?

[And suddenly very, very harsh.] That's a goddamn lie. A lie.

[Because that meant Rick and he have both shot children, women, adults...]

I've been inside their heads.

Undeath traps the soul in a physical parody of life without control. The kindest thing to do is to stop them from hurting anyone else. Kill the monster and let the person they were be at peace.
