Of Tea and Zombies

[shazrasha]

There is something to be said about the relaxing pursuit of drinking a refined cup of tea with one's lady friends whilst dealing with those commonly refered to as the walking dead.

My charming lady choccoweeble was almost overcome with an un-wholesome glee at the chance to be a pistolier and face the enraged masses. It was with some reluctance that I set aside my porcelain cup and saucer to raise my weapon at her side.

We had not fired upon the slathering hordes for long when it was remarked upon by lady choccoweeble that I was being rather appropriative in the course of our endeavours leaving her rather short of the necessary equipment with which to dispatch our aggressive foes. I was rather chagrined to find that her observations were upheld by Lady phoenixsdm who then claimed that this was a rather common habit of mine on expeditions into the unknown.

As we cut a swathe through the city and the bodies lined the streets it became clear to me that lady choccoweeble held no small amount of pride in managing to secure a greater tally of the shambling corpses to I. She also found great pleasure in the resplendent cranial combustion that occurred from a well placed shot. On my part I was becoming rather adept at the placing of grenades and the use of my uncle's rather worn hunting shotgun. This did however put me in such a position as to have to endure the stench of our quarries breath before I could take my shot.

Partway through our journey we took a moment to sip at our refreshments and reflect on the horrors around us to the scent of peppermint and Earl Grey. A small haven in the frenzied hunt we had embarked on. It was during this moment of peace that Lady phoenixsdm commented on how she thought it was rather sweet of me to talk to the creatures we met despite their obvious inability to respond. A blush rose to my cheeks for I had not realised until that point that I had been so vocal though as I reflected on the matter it was not an uncommon thing for me to do.

Our journey continued as we unearthed new horrors with even the animals turning against us in their unliving state. It was but when we reached as far as Lady phoenixsdm’s knowledge could guide us that we called it a day and returned to our homes.

This is just me, but I got the distinct impression that you attempted to go shopping....

As much as this would probably be an accurate portrayal of such a foray so close to Christmas, what we actually did was drink tea and play Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.

Were you in fact 'All out of gum'?

I fear any reply to this will simply underline my complete lack of knowledge when it comes to the above quote...therefore I shall simply say. There is no way we could run out of gum as choccoweeble hoards the stuff and buys it by the crate load.
