Heya, cavebros!

[A little wave! Hadrielites new and old, you're treated to a tattooed, more-enthusiastic-than-she-should-be redhead. She looks somewhat casual today, apart from the shotgun resting innocently across her lap, and is seated on her apartment's couch as if they weren't all facing imminent zombie-related terrors.]

Ignore Hyperion just now. Obviously, someone's been hitting whatever gross bathtub stash he and his weirdo roommate keep stocked: he's not aware that we're in the middle of a friggin' zombie apocalypse.

[hoo. anyway. Lilith huffs, rolling her eyes, and cocks her shotgun.]

I have a couple things I wanna propose to you guys, since nobody's gonna beat my Ms. Pac-Man score. Ever. [Yes, that IS a challenge.] I'm in my spire and getting bored of window-sniping zombies, so is anybody down for a rousing game of... I'unno, tabletop? I remember the rules well enough that we can use the boards and dice I salvaged from the stupid board games that the gods dropped all over the place. Either that or we can have a zombie-shooting party on the roof! It'll be fine. We can light some of 'em up-- that'll be sweet, right?

[Suddenly, there's an ominous groaning and shuffling from the other side of the room: Lilith, swearing under her breath, fires her gun at something off-camera that crumples with a resounding thump. She makes a little sound of disgust before setting her gun back down.]

Ugh. I wanted to keep that one, too... Maybe wait to come over 'till I throw this guy out the window.

[The camera briefly pans to a now-truly-dead undead she'd....kept tied up????? in the???? corner???? lilith wtf.... before she cuts the feed.]

[Corbin looks confused]

Whyd'ja keep one of 'em tied up like that? Ain't ya worried he might get out an' tryin' hurt ya?

[Because those things were bitey and that was no good. And they stunk something awful.]

[cashlin]

Haven't you ever wanted a pet zombie?

[Pandora, as always, is a very weird place.]

Besides, decorating with corpses is intimidating. Keeps unsavory types out.

[video]

[infinite1up]

[Challenge: accepted]

I'd hold off on making too many plans until we have the matter of Ms. Pac-Man settled.

[cashlin]

Oh, buddy. You wanna play?

...well, I dunno if Rhys made a multiplayer, but we'll compare scores.

[silvercrusader]

[Zombies and kidnapping and weird gods: it's been an awful few days, to be sure. But that's a really pretty girl talking to them all, so maybe things are looking up.]

I'm a little better at close combat. You any good with a handgun?

[He really does mean it, too, but there's a flirtatious note in there as well. Close combat, y'know what I mean?]

[cashlin]

[Hey... he's cute! She'll humor the guy for now-- especially since she's mentioned only her favorite subject in the world. Besides her own powers.]

If it shoots bullets and has a trigger on it? I'm better than good.

If you wanna make it out of this week without getting a chunk taken out of you, I suggest you get good with handguns too.

[thechoiceisyours]

Okay, I was about to be totally hype for tabletop, but what the fuck is with that zombie?

[Because Lilith please.]

[cashlin]

[She sees no problems here???]

I know, right? He got out of the leash, sneaky motherfucker. Good thing I hadn't named him yet.

[video]

[murderpotato]

You can eat a fuckin'--

[Wait. Wait a second, what the fuck does she have in there?]

Were you keepin' one of those fuckers in there with you?

[What the fuck, Lilith.]

[cashlin]

I wanted to see if I could catch it.

[....]

So I did.

[meatbrained]

( hey lili, have a mildly traumatised teenager who has holed himself up in his girlfriend's room. )

I... ah, I don't think you should be keeping them.

( thanks, captain obvious. )

[cashlin]

[UNNECESSARILY GLIB:]

I can handle a little bit of zombie. He was cute until he chewed his own arm off to get out of the rope.

[ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ]

[hotspurred]

[The sheer amount of disbelief and disdain that Henry feels in this moment may well be palpable through the phone.

Lilith. What are you doing. Please give up this dream.]

Have you spared thought for how Maketh shall respond to your... prisoner?

[Look, he's not calling it a pet because acknowledging that is too much idiocy for him.]

Tell me that was the only one you kept.

video;

[cashlin]

[You can't make her, Captain Killjoy.

Even so, probably the one way to get her to remotely care about the way she looks in this godforsaken cave? Is to bring up Maketh. She gives Henry a sheepish look before replying:]

Yeah!

Maybe.

[There's one tied up outside the spire and his name's Mr. Bitey.]

[video]

[wormintheglass]

Lilith, dear heart, is there a reason you had a restrained zombie in your living room?

[Bianca appears to be in the park, resting up between attacks or something.]

My staser pistol doesn't work on undead, so I've been concentrating on hand to hand. But I am definitely up for a game later. I salvaged several intriguing ones myself.

[cashlin]

Haven't you ever wanted a pet in your life, Bianca? He was almost tame, you shoulda seen.

[Until he tried to break out, but whatever.]

Ooh, game night! Once you're out of the woods with your own zombie horde, hit me up.

[video]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh is clearly cycling through several very different emotions before she settles on 'strained but calm'. Very calm.] I will join you if you wish to shoot them from a distance.

[AHEM]

What. Is that.

SORRY FOR THE LATE

[cashlin]

[If there is any one person in Hadriel whose opinion Lilith actually cares about? It's Maketh's.

Oops.]

Uhm. Hey, hot stuff!

[she's trying her best.]

Iiiiiit's gone now is what it is. See? Right out the window.

[beanstalk]

[ Well then. Obviously Kanda has no clue what tabletop is, but he isn't going to admit it. Instead, why not focus on the thing that everyone else was focusing on? Especially if it means that he can heckle Lilith more :D ]

Lonely, much?

[burn_all_the_babies]

Oh-hi!!

[ Waving frantically on the other end of the camera feed, was non other then Pandora's finest demolitions expert and she seemed more excited than normal. ]

Zombies. Video games on the network. Tabletop and Lilith the most sultry redhead I know~ Best. Day.Ever!

[ Grinning wildly into the feed, like she'd just been reunited with an old friend. ]

Just yor fine self gurl? Or do'ya got Mordy and ma man Brick locked up wit'cah too!? I am so FREAKIN' PUMPED!

video;

[cashlin]

[Mordy? Brick? Some weird who knows her name? This is certainly news to her.]

Slow down, kiddo. Brick and Mordy? As in Brick and Mordecai the Vault hunters?

You're gonna need to get me up to speed here. Where-- um... when are you from?

[smited]

I was going to ask about tabletop but I think the more pressing question is why in the Maker's name you have one of the undead in your apartment.

[cashlin]

Well I think the more pressing question is why you DONT have one of the undead in your apartment.

[skelebro]

What's Hyperion?

[Clearly he's focusing on the salient aspects of this message, like literally everyone else is by posting about games instead of the incipient zombie apocalypse.]

[cashlin]

[hey, it's the skeleton man! she's more used to the sight than she was before, so she'll oblige.]

A big weapons conglomerate back where I'm from. They also have a whole bunch of pencil-pushing morons, like Rhys: each one a bigger loser than the last.

[fortunefavored]

I am totally in for tabletop as long as you don't have any more of those guys tied up in your apartment.

[cashlin]

[ah, it's claptrap that annoying dude. well... she won't not play, what the heck.]

Just the one. For now.

TIMELY TEXT ..........

[verinumeri]

[ Everyone has already stated the obvious. ]

I would suggest that you might also qualify as a weirdo roommate. Also, that your score is not as unreachable as you believe.

[cashlin]

at least I can own it :P

also, are you calling me out, nerd? bring it on, i am UNDEFEATED.

[seventyeight]

If you're bored, have you considered . . .

[He pauses for a moment. To think. And then:]

Have you considered literally anything other than this?

video;

[cashlin]

Okay, but in my defense: there's not a whole lot else.

[And as much as she wants to go to Delight's bar: everyone would probably get upset if she exploded it accidentally.]

C'mon. Are you game, or are you gonna keep on complaining?

[video]

[attagirl]

Wait, uh - like Bunkers and Badasses?

[ he's never played, but some of the guys in dahl used to. and he'd briefly listened in on tina's game, whatever. ]
