Zombies are rare where I come from. Usually it’s vampires or werewolves or goblins. But the ones we do have are in packs of about six to fifteen.
[Says Trevor, who uses his body to propel the whip harder and faster than his arm reasonably could. It takes off, fire inexplicably breathing after it, and the zombie’s head goes rolling into the dirt. The body remains where it is, then explodes]
Wanted to let you get a good look at the weaponry first.
[Shaun stares for a moment. Trevor's zombies explode?? There is something karmically unfair about the fact that Shaun was born into a world where the only things zombies do are bleed and puke and spit.]
[If you start trying to use a fucking flail to kill zombies, I'm going to kick your ass.]
[He glances over, confused for a brief second, thinking that Shaun's speaking to him. But no; he talked with Maggie, and the strange disconnected speech, he realizes, wasn't connected to him. He turns his face back, allowing the man his privacy]
So. Yeah. That's how you take out a zombie with a whip.
I talked with Dracula about the problem you mentioned. He's working on a shield you can take back, something you can hopefully replicate and give to any others. A kind of membrane, he says, that'll stop your lot from getting infected.
[Shaun barely registers that he's having another of his one-sided conversations, and he turns his attention back to Trevor like it's any other conversation.]
I don't think it would work very well in my world--our zombies don't explode, and the bloodspatter would be catastrophic unless they were really old zombies--but color me impressed.
Well, I was giving thought to how you'd protect your face and open wounds if any of the zombie bloodsplatter got on you. Because it'd be like having acid for blood, and I've fought those. They're a huge pain in the ass.
So I went over to talk to Dracula about how you could kill them and at the same time contain the blood so it couldn't contaminate you. He's the one who suggested shielding. We're working on a way to have it be semi-permeable, I don't want you walking around in a cloak all the time.

You guys get a lot of solo zombies, or do they mob?

Might be a challenge, considering you're dead.
[And I'm not ready for you to join me, asshole.]

...wait.
A shield thing? How would that even work?
