[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.

[ugh omg so many shades of DNW right now. And Newt's face shows it, looking annoyed and irritated (and, tbh, a little fearful and a lot wary.)

But he really does want that information]

So...more of the magic fucking shit up when it shouldn't kinda thing.

[By contrast, the half-man looks completely unruffled, with his usual calm expression and unfocused look in his eyes. The blunt statement from Newt gets Ushahin to let out an unexpected chortle that he squashes almost immediately.]

That is one way to put it.

[that....throws Newt a little. The chortle. Because what. Now there's a good chunk of confusion warring with the wariness]

Hey, man, I call it like I see it.

[ushahin]

And that, my young friend, is why you will always end up in hot water.

[This is Ushahin's way of giving advice. He's ancient, and if not exactly wise due to his madness, at least he has a lot of knowledge to offer.]

[Newt's mouth twists at that down into a scowl]

That's really rich coming from a guy who invades people's minds without their permission.

[said without much thought, oops. And then he blinks, realizing what came out of his mouth, and a tension comes to his face]

Right. This is why I don't talk to you. [HANGING UP NOW--click]
