[handwriting very deliberately disguised]

[sheisthecause.livejournal.com]

Let's say I went for an evening stroll in Doyleton on Saturday and got bitten. Now the wound is infected, but the real trouble is that I feel more aggressive than usual, especially at night. Not to mention [several illegible strikeouts] hungrier.

Somebody here must watch horror movies. Is there any way to treat these symptoms?

[Added after exchange with Aidou]: It hasn't gotten any better since the first night.

I haven't, sorry. Do you have any idea whether this condition is likely to wear off, or how long it might take? Staying in my room might work for a few nights, but it's not too practical or safe as a long-term solution.

Yeah, I'm also wondering about this. The symptoms weren't as bad last night, but if this doesn't go away, it's going to get problematic.

I think you're up shit creek then if you're showing symptoms or something. Sorry.

[nobleman]

Man, I hope you're wrong. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

[sheisthecause.livejournal.com]

Don't give up. People are still offering suggestions. There must be something that can help.

[nobleman]

I'll keep trying, but it looks like hiding in my room might be my only option for a while.

Good luck to you, too.

[kindalikedit]

Hate to break it to you, but if it's like the movies, if you got infected, they don't wear off.

[sheisthecause.livejournal.com]

Then do you know of any way to ease the hunger without hurting anyone?

[kindalikedit]

Man, you never saw any of these movies, have you?

Don't think so. I think even if you locked yourself in a room, it'd probably just get worse. In the movies, if you got infected for real, you just turned and had to get taken out before you infected more.

This is not a movie.

And zombies aren't real. At least not these kinds

Of course, they're fucking real, asshole. How about you give the person some info based on experience and not some fucking moving pictures.

[Dean's handwriting is disguised, more for the nurse's benefit though]

Don't get your panties in a twist, sweetheart. There's no real experience with these things: I've heard silver, decapitation, bullet to the head, etc, and they weren't the movie shamblers, which is what we have right here.

Apparently removing the head in Doyleton worked like in the movies, so I'd think I'd want to go with that instead of getting pissy about it when that's the closest thing we got to info.

Just sayin. If you want to get bitchy about it, go right ahead but it's not gonna change the fact we had Romeroed out zombies.

Removing the head only worked for the early ones in that town. The rest had to have their brain destroyed.

I appreciate you finally getting off the movies. Allow me to give you some information in return. Those with a strong enough will can contain the beast within and choose not to feed. It just fucking sucks.

Re: [anon]

[kindalikedit]

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

And "beast within"? This ain't a poetry contest.

[There's a growing inkblot since Dean's just noticed what's Sam's handwriting further down. He's abandoned the conversation to stalk track it]

[anon]

[himetsuru.livejournal.com]

I don't fucking write poetry.

Being infected by these things isn't the same as being one of them. It's different. You can feel the predator inside you rearing its head and scenting its prey. You can either let instinct take over or you contain it.

I'm not really much for horror movies, probably because they're mostly all as bleak as this.

[kindalikedit]

Horror movies usually give people bad ideas like going into that creepy abandoned house and yelling for the friends. Tip for the wise: DON'T.

[sheisthecause.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to keep that in mind if I ever unchain myself from my bed again.

[same anon as before]

I don't think it needs to be said, but this place has its own rules. Anything that happens at night has an equal chance of wearing off, including this.
