[As if Newt would ever give up the chance to make a video, so here he is sitting in the kitchen. Also, he's bored being cooped up inside for an extended period of time, so there's also that]

Okay normally I would ask why people are actually venturing outdoors when shit's going down like this, but something tells me that's a super pointless question so instead here's this one:

So we got one account of what zombies are like in one person's world, but I was wondering what other incarnations are out there. [Newt folds his arms on the table, leaning down on them a bit] In Haven, there were a couple running around in some of the tunnels and they were from the same world as a couple of my housemates--one of them almost bit me. That was a trip. [he pauses, briefly, blinking] Er. The zombie, not my housemates. [--except--] Well, okay, one of them stabbed me in the chest and killed me but that wasn't until later so I don't think that really counts in this conversation? [he says it so casually. . . . . . . ANYWAY, back on topic as Newt waves a hand] Anyway, these zombies were taken over by a fungus called cordyceps. Basically it took over the brain of the corpse of whatever it attached itself to and made it into a puppet.

Now, we have this same fungus in my world, but it never went all zombie on human beings, just small animals. I'm talking, like...bugs. Sooo basically I'm wondering what other types of zombies people might've either run into, whether from their own world or a different one. And what caused them to become zombies in the first place. I'm talking like virus or fungus or whatever.

Or, like, whatever else anyone wants to talk about because holy shit I'm so bored right now.

We do not have zombies in my world, strangely enough.

[They have skeletons. Does that count as the living dead?]

As for going outside, I assume to pick up those who were caught outside or they enjoy fighting the creatures.

Why's a lack of zombies something strange?

as for the ppl deliberately going outside to fight them, it's their funeral as far as i'm concerned

There are monsters normally. Yes. Rescue efforts are a better reason, I suppose.

[And when it's the LV 20 kid saying that...]

what kind of monsters?

at least that way they can make the excuse that they were rescuing someone or smthn

Many different kinds. They are a species known as Monsters. Hence it would not be a surprise to see a zombie, provided it was a friendly one. As long as their heroics do not endanger my partner, then it is fine.

[and if that doesn't ring a bell...] maybe it's the rotting brain thing

what are you out running around yourself?

I suppose so. I was with my partner but we were forced to leave. I am attempting to find them.

[Gotta love those situations forcing people to split up. So annoying.]

you were forced to leave? what, like your house or something? what happened?

We were running out of food. There was no point in staying. They are a child wearing a stripped shirt. A blue and purple one. If you see them, then let them know that I am looking for them. I am Chara.

[as it is, Sans never actually told him Chara's name, so there's no alarm bells happening here]

Sure, you got it. What's the kid's name?

[Guess it pays off to play mindgames regarding their name at the time.]

They are called Frisk.

Frisk, ok. i'll keep an eye out.

r u safe?

I am safe for now. My only objective at the moment is finding them.

[So don't worry.]

[...yeah, Newt knows that singular-focus feeling of trying to find someone important]

good. i'll definitely keep an eye out for them and let u know if i see them.
