OOC:
I am toying with the idea of setting up inoculations against the zombie plague.
The question becomes, is there any interest in using this as a vector for people who want to role play a zombie infection, (as well as giving an in world excuse to those who wish to opt out)?
Alternatively, I was thinking of just having an inoculation party with no greater infection story arc necessary.
Thoughts?
Good Doctor, as I loathe zombies I am highly likely to take advantage of your inoculation. I also like parties. This plan therefore pleases me. Do you, by chance, also offer inoculations for the purposes of overseas travel?
I tend to have an immunity due to my own medical treatments, though I’m willing to aid in any innoculations with others
((and hope to not miss out on Zombie Week this year for once))
Mr. Footman, I was led to believe that between you and Mr. Mornington it might be your turn to run the Zombie ball… is this the case? Please contact me should you wish to coordinate activities. It looks like the innoculations will occur.
innoculations would be a very good idea.
wait, zombie ball? I know I missed a few zombie weeks with my RL octobers being packed and all, but not so clear when they became balls, or how to run a ball even. usually when i even go to one, I’m the one lurking in the corner
I suspect that the best preventative measure against zombie infestation would be to lock up Victor for the entire month of October.
;-)
Oh! Oh!
*raises hand most emphatically*
Can I manage the Brunel in his absence?
sure, that will keep you from another zombie outbreak…
*thinks I need to set up a lab again in the city*
yes. yes you do.
Being a zombie would be terrable for my complexion – however; stranger things have happened.
I am in support of any zombie related behavior/activities.
Junie….only if im locked up with Emerson, with a set of bars separating us and i have a crate of Chivas on my side….
So once we can have a zombie outbreak that isn’t
Victor’sElleon’s fault? That just doesn’t seem right…
mornington, you sure that wine cellar is below the frost line? you should dig deeper.
If i dig down any deeper i’ll end up in the same predicament that the gangplank is in, big gaping hole into a cavernous abyss….i’d rather keep whatever is down there….still down there.
Plus…if anything does come up from down there…we can blame emerson AND junie since they have not had the foresight to block that big gaping hole in their cellar with a few tonnes of concrete.
*starts to shuffle nervously and stays uncharacteristically quiet for once.*
Well sounds like you need an armed expiditon to take care of whatever is down there.
well, there was the first outbreak
Good citizens of New Babbage, the innoculations will go forward. My experiments have produced a vaccine proven to be 90% effective. I consider this quite good given the strain I have been working with. The vaccine should be fully ready shortly.
In preparation, I have produced a short public health film instructing the citizenry on proper hygeine and behavior to avoid infection. It turns out this has turned out to be a slightly greater enterprise than I expected. I am therefore soliciting advertisements to include in the film from proprietors of:
public houses
distilleries, wineries, or breweries,
barbers
medical professionals
Please contact me as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cyberusfaustus.
((OOC: the sound track is long and I have a little space at the end to include your adverts))
errrrrrr……… what happens to the other 10% of people?
Details! details my dear Tepic! I am sure by the time the serum is ready it will be all worked out. Just think of a New Babbage where we no longer have to fear catching the zombie infection after a night in the Gut? Think of what it could do for the poor, the sick, the urchins! Think of the dead, who just want to rest in the graveyard… no longer will the undead be troubled by the nervous condition which drives them to dig out of their graves, spoiling their burial shrouds, only to cause fear and unhappiness for the living they have left behind! Think of what it could do for the social calandar… becoming a zombie is terrible for one’s social prospects.
Now run along and come back when the serum is finished…
Oh, and just leave the munitions crates by my safety vault alone… I am certain there will be no need for them…
*contemplates this unwanted interference with his busiest time of year*
So, once the undead are risen, is it save to assume that you people require weapons for defense against the Gouhls? I say that they can eaisly be taken out by a bullet into head. I would recommend everyone to get a cheap, easy to use firearm for protection.
Since I will more than likely be in Mondrago, I won’t take the chance of going back to Babbage unless I’m absolutely sure that this upcoming outbreak will be dealt with. I will have a child to look after, after all.
I am so grateful for our smooth-running trams. Without them it would have been hazardous making my way home after the vaccination. We are quite sure that it will work, aren’t we?
Sadly, the good doctor and I seem to keep opposite hours, as I have not been able to catch him for my innoculation.
Happily, a dear friend has kept a small supply of the old Dayafter Serum, and managed to take care of the situation tonight. (ie, she shot me in the butt! Twice!) so that should settle the matter. My hygiene is, of course, impeccable, in fact since my innoculation I feel an even greater urge to wash and primp and preen. And I feel so much stronger, more so than I’ve felt since back when I very first moved into Babbag—— oh, dear.
*hushes up, takes stock of the situation*
Will these inoculations only be available locally? I shudder to think what some of the people in Caledon will be suffering:

Gah. His name would have to be Philip. Now I’m having third thoughts about that inoculation…
