[MW] Pennsylvania

[re_mybrains]

It's a pleasant March afternoon in downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania -- sunny, partly cloudy.

In the courtyard of Pennsylvania Apartments, the bang of the front door slamming is still echoing when it opens again.

Two dozen zombies, in varying states of decay, are staggering towards it.

A human lighting generator, a superhero, a geek, and two regular schmoes are coming out the door to face them.

Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.

"Goddamnit," is the rejoinder. Too close, too close, too close.

"Watch yourselves, guys!"

Kendra has learned over the last few thousand years to be ambidextrous.

This comes in handy.

"Fuck this," she mutters. Her trusty morning star is retrieved from her hip as she gains altitude, twists in the air, and rockets downwards at a favorable angle.

Sometimes, it's best to go to the melee rather than have the melee come to you.

When she hits the shamble doing sixty per, thanks to Nth metal, zombies are suddenly horizontal. Her sword works with brutal economy, taking off a head in a lefthanded stroke, neatly avoiding getting hitched in any cervical obstruction.

There's less blood than she expected. She knows she can't get bitten, which is why her morning star is playing a game of Connect the Skulls.

CRUNCH crunch crunch.

... yeah, that kind of leaves Andrew and Tom with little to do but stare.

"Wow."

[re_mybrains]

"Damn."

Beat.

Muttered: "Dude, I totally kissed her."

[stilljustandrew]

"Seriously?"

Andrew grins.

"Dude."

Kendra doesn't hear this exchange. She's too intent on reducing that last zombie skull to something resembling ground chuck with one, two, and three blows.

Finally, after being satisifed that anything cerebral that might possibly be able to animate said zombie's body is now rendered inert, she stops.

She's festively blood splattered, but it's all in a day's work, right?

"That was quick."

[re_mybrains]

"Yeah."

Way quicker -- and way easier -- than it would've been on his own.

He takes a deep breath and says, louder, "Everyone okay?"
