[Filtered to the Vic] Entry 3. Zombies Aren't Bad!

[derpenter]

Oof! I've been so busy fixing the holes I forgot to check my journal. I should write a note and stick it on my head so I don't forget next time, yup yup.

So... Why are we shooting at zombies? Have I missed something important again? By golly, I hope we're not trying to hurt them! I know some mighty nice zombies like Mr. Tilt, yup yup. But not many

I too have known some fairly nice zombies.

But, if you care to observe, these do not seem to be on the same order as those zombies.

[derpenter]

Really? How can you tell?

[nohoppityskip]

Most of the zombies I know wouldn't be caught de- undead, rather, shambling towards a town in an army of zombies.

And I don't think it's a protest. No signs or banners.

[derpenter]

Oh! That makes sense, yup yup. I nearly got stepped on last zombie protest, but they kindly shuffled around me once they saw me. I didn't realise they belonged to a group.

You're real smart! I'd never be able to figure that out on my own, by golly.

[asplosions]

Of course we're trying to shoot those zombies, they're gonna eat everyone's brains! You've gotta have your brains if you're gonna stick around the ship!

[snakesnvectors]

Actually, this is something of a fallacy. Zombies rarely actually eat brains; they're mostly just concerned with killing the living, like most mindless undead.

If I remember my copy of Circe Deneb's A Complete Introduction to Magic Energies, Ritual, and Creatures correctly

[asplosions]

Then why'd that one that attacked me try to eat my brain? I know it did, it bit my head!

[snakesnvectors]

Consider: If a zombie successfully cracked open your skull open, you'd die, right?

It wasn't trying to *eat* your brains, just open your head up. I doubt that had it been successful it'd have done much else than go looking for someone else to kill. If one of your arms was relatively loose, it'd have torn it off to use as a makeshift club, maybe.
