thirty-first breath ✧ voice/action

Saggitarius
• The body under the couch is starting to smell.
• Quit whining about the pain, it only makes it worse for everyone else.
• Stop smoking. Or start. Whichever you're not doing.

[Isamu is sitting outside the house, a cigarette in one hand. Every so often he tilts his head to the side, as though hearing a voice that only he can hear. He didn't smoke before now, and he still doesn't really care for it, but he felt a need to start today.

His journal lies open in his lap.]

I don't know what this place wants from me sometimes. No one does, I know.

Guess it's about that time again, huh?

What if it was a city full of zombies?

... why should that matter? [...] What's a zombie?

Zombies are undead abominations that generally try to eat your brains.

... okay, so yeah, no one would miss them.

Not typically, no.

Don't you get proper zombie horror stories where you're from?

Well... sure. People talk about people coming back from the dead for revenge. But not living in a town.

Usually in that case it's that the original town inhabitants have become zombies. Sometimes overnight. Like if one bites you it might turn you into a zombie too.

... so it's like a disease, then.

Kinda. One you don't usually recover from.

So you have to kill them. [...] That's not like any disease I've heard of.

It's more the stuff of scary stories than anything. But you never know here.

Yeah, this place does kind of specialize in stuff that isn't supposed to exist.

Not to our benefit, usually.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised I haven't seen any zombies since my arrival.

Don't say that. Now it will probably happen.

Oh you're right.

Whoops.

Yeah, well, when it happens? You're getting blamed. I have your name.

Weak.

That's how it goes. You may want to consider using an alias in the future.

It's not like you made it any better.

What if you saying they might do something with it is what made it worse?

Me saying that would discourage them from doing it, otherwise they'd just look unoriginal.

Since when was that a thing the Malnosso actually cared about?

It could be. They're weird people.

I guess that's true.
