Got a question. Totally hypothetical.

Say these zombies bite you. How soon do you turn into a zombie, or do you have to die first?

[Edit] Also, important note! There's a lot of shower gel and bubble bath poured in front of a barricade at Entrance F, next to the jewelry store and T-Mobile. This is to trip up any zombies if they break through again. Watch your step.

You die first and then you're reanimated.

I had a feeling this was more then just hypothetical, where's this zombie apocalypse happening?!?!

[boostup4beetbuster]

Wait, you didn't get teleported into the mall of the living dead? Damnit! Some people have all the luck.

[defendsearth]

All the luck? I'd rather be there.

Darn it!

But yes, getting bitten is bad. Also, zombie fluids splashing onto you can also turn you into one of them.

[boostup4beetbuster]

No, you don't. Trust me, you don't.

Oh SHIT. I didn't even think of that.

[defendsearth]

Are you kidding me? Fighting the living undead, that is awesome!

Yeah, your best bet would be to have someone put out of your misey now before you go and infect them.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, when you have WEAPONS to fight with! Or, you know, some fighting skills that don't require powers. I'm an engineer. You know how squishy that is?

...Yeah, thanks.

[defendsearth]

Try creating fire? Use your enginnering skills to create weapons on with what's available?

Re: [backdated]

[boostup4beetbuster]

We're in a mall. I'm more worried about using my engineering skills to keep anything from coming in the many entrances this place has.

[defendsearth]

If there's a swarm of undead there you can't keep the place barricated forever. Sooner or later you're going to have to use those skills to fight.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Can't I have later instead of sooner?

[backdated]

[defendsearth]

The sooner is that you'll be one of them.

[symbolofhappiness]

...wait. When one of these things bite you, you turn into one? [Someone didn't get the zombie memo.]

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yeah, their usual M.O. Looks like you gotta avoid getting bit and then dying, otherwise you get round two as one of them.

[symbolofhappiness]

Okay, I'll... make sure not to let them bite me, then. Thank goodness none of them have gotten close enough to me yet... I guess I must be really lucky.

...I'm guessing your question isn't exactly hypothetical, is it?

[boostup4beetbuster]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I thought it'd be good to know if anyone else got bit!

[symbolofhappiness]

[Very convincing, Jin.] Alright... If you're sure. But in case someone else does get bitten, I think it's best to keep doing the same thing as before, which is trying to avoid dying.

[boostup4beetbuster]

[Muttered] Easier said than done.

Yeah, protect them at all costs. Good plan.
