[Julie took the time to shower and get cleaned up before getting on the network. She was previously covered in days worth of dirt and sweat and blood, some of it her friends and some of it belonging to a peculiar zombie, but more on that later. For now, Julie has a pressing question that may possibly seem rude in some circles.]

So, introductions go first, right? Hi. I'm Julie. I'm from what's supposed to be Seattle, Washington but is now just thousands of people living in a fortified sports stadium.

[As shitty as that probably sounds, she's still smiling about it. There are some good parts about Citi Stadium, but thank God for kidnappings that turn into vacations, even if this is her second one in just a few days.]

This place is between life, death and dreaming, right? I'm not sure how that's possible, but that's fine for now. That's not what I'm wondering.

[She runs her fingers through her hair, chewing her lower lip for a moment before letting her hand settle in her lap again.]

What I'm wondering is possibly considered rude. I don't know. It's been a very weird past few days for me back home that's changed my way of thinking a little bit so now I just want to know how many of you....are dead where you're from?

Where I'm from, dead seems to have a couple different meanings. It could either mean dead and that's it, you're gone for good. Or Undead as in a mobile corpse. A zombie.

[This sure as shit feels a bit awkward, but she's going to just press on. She started it, she'll finish it. That's cool with her.]

I just want to know what dead means here, since I haven't seen any[thing]one that fits what I know from home.

[And that's all. She'll just turn off the feed, now, giving a final smile before she does so.]

Sun and Moon, thou hast revenants in thy home? Why hast thou not found and destroyed their creator?

[HOLY FUCK ITS A TALKING HORSE! Julie's...actually being spoken to by a talking horse. Holy crap.

NO OKAY SHE CAN DO THIS. Because if she can talk to R about music, food, Perry and whatever else, she can do this.

After brief, stunned silence.]

I wish we could. We don't know what created them. It'd sure go a long way towards a cure if we knew how they got started.

Whoa. Zombies? For real?

That's hard freakin' core.

Re: Video

[grigio]

Yup! Zombies. Loads of them.

It's been that way since...God. I don't even know. I think always for me.

[Sabriel's sympathetic- she saw more Dead than she ever wanted to in the Old Kingdom.]

There are no Dead creatures here that prey upon the living, as far as I can tell- those who died in their own worlds seem to be alive here.

Re: Video

[grigio]

I'm starting to see that. It's a change of pace.

YELLS I NEED THIS CR whoa sorry just got real excited

[cons]

-- You're from Zombieland?

[ holy shit! SEATTLE ended up being the city that figured out how to survive. go fucking figure. ]

OH GOD YES PLS

[grigio]

Y'know, I've honestly never heard it referred to as Zombieland. Perfect name for what the world is now.

I'm dead where I'm from. Means I was falling from a train moving fast high up in the mountains. And then I woke up here. Though people had to explain to me the term 'zombie' when I showed up - didn't use to mean quite the same thing in my time.

Anwyay. Woke up here - in the ocean outside the turtle's shell, to be precise - and've been actin' and feeling like I'm alive. Have been for a bit over a year. Others... have been less than lucky.

Not... undead. We got a taste of that a few months back, but they got burned away by the sun when the turtle swam back up from his dive.

Re: video;

[grigio]

What did it mean where you're from? And...when are you from?

[fearlessherosheart]

Well, I certainly died, though I do not seem to have become undead in the process. It is really quite curious.

[grigio]

So have a couple others. It's definitely interesting.

And sort of a relief.

Zombies? [First superpowers and now zombies.]

Re: video;

[grigio]

Zombies.

[Trippy, right? Julie's pretty convinced she's asleep somewhere in the jet back home.]

[wintershepherd]

[ carefully: ] It might seem weird but there's a lot more grey area between "alive" and "dead", especially here.

Re: voice;

[grigio]

[The idea that there are many various states of dead as she's quickly learning is probably why she can hear Jack. Seeing him might be a different matter.]

At this point, not a whole lot seems weird. But I've only been here a few hours, so that might change.

[everylittlegirl]

Don't worry about being too personal here. No one else really cares.

[grigio]

I've noticed. No one's yelled yet for asking.

[That works for her.]

[youjustlivehere]

I was definitely dead.

[grigio]

But now you're not. That's definitely not how it goes back home.

[browbeater]

[If the dead were mobile back home in Republic City... He shakes his head. What the hell? Zombies? He's heard some kids tell stories, but that's what they were: stories, about some bitter fire nation soldier, or a vengeful earth nation couple who were separated by death. Not anything serious, and so the concept is just so-- when he thinks about it, he shakes his head. No thank you.]

No, no. What kind of place are you from that has dead people walking around?

Re: video;

[grigio]

One that's on it's way out.

[Don't think about it too much, man. It's a very brain-breaking situation.]

[notdreaming]

I'm not sure what exactly we are [ since they could be clones or fuck knows what else ] but we've had zombies before, so we're definitely not that.

I'm Kara Zor-El, by the way, it's nice to meet you.

Re: video;

[grigio]

Hi, Kara. Nice to meet you, too.

[Zombies were here at one point? That certainly makes Julie a bit uncomfortable for a moment, a frown appearing on her face before she speaks again.]

What happened with the zombies?

Video:

[solo_patria]

Hardly rude I should not think, mademoiselle. One thing that I have noticed here is that even the certainty of death that many people knew in their worlds has a way of changing here.

[Undead though? This is new. Enjolras has practically no frame of reference for THAT one, outside of being familiarized, a bit, with the concept now. Still, he has some experience with the first part.]

Myself, and many of my friends had died before we woke here, though. I knew myself to be dying, actively; the squad had done their work. That said, when I woke here...no wounds. I do not even have the scars I ought. I make no complaints about that. It has made life easier but still. Considering such is ODD.

As to the other senses of dead here...I am uncertain. I believe there are immortals among others though, if that may be of any help.

Re: Video:

[grigio]

So you died in a war?

[It is really hard to not tack on a 'sir' at the end of that. Whoever this guy is, he sounds very well-mannered, but first impressions usually aren't everything.]

I've noticed that, too. Maybe this counts as the Afterlife for some?

[video]

[bludhavenknight]

That's some pretty heavy stuff for a hello. [Okay, come on, he might not be grinning, but he's trying not to. He just looks really amused by all this.]

Dead, from what I've gotten, pretty much means nothing in this place. Some people died back home, but this isn't really an after life. And as for back home, well... might have noticed by now that there's a huge amount of worlds represented here.

[This time he does have a smile, if a sympathetic one.] I don't have zombies back home.

[But you never know, things happened all the time. They didn't have any movie-like zombies, from what he could remember. Or was that mummies? It might be mummies.]

Re: [video]

[grigio]

[She grins enough for the both of them in this case. New faces, especially ones with information are her favorite things right now.]

I needed information and sometimes the only way to get it is to give an explanation as to why it's needed.

[Really, she doesn't mind sharing about her world. It's fucked. This one is less fucked. She likes the Turtle more.]

So I've heard. There goes my theory that I died. [Sort of. She's half-certain she did somehow. Probably death by Boneys.]

That's good to hear. I'm Julie.
