Mr. Dex wasn't in the classroom today. Instead, assorted sports equipment was piled in a large box near the door and Tony stood at the front of the room bouncing a cricket bat lightly against his hand.

"Mr. Dex was kinda busy, so he asked me to cover," Tony said. "So, okay, when weird sh- stuff goes down, there's not usually a lot of reliable information. You gotta go to the folklore to find anything useful. In the old days, they told stories around the campfire, but now our folklore gets filmed in full technicolor. The movies are full of zombie stories. I've got a few clips here to show you and then whoever's actually faced the ones outside can tell us how accurate they are. Maybe the movies'll give us some ideas how to deal with these things."

He showed clips from Vaughn of the Dead: fighting zombies and blending in; Against: fighting zombies with guns and 31 Days After: an infected soldier.

Tony gestured at the box of sports gear. "Dinah and I found this stuff in storage, so if you don't have anything to fight with, go ahead and grab something from here. Not saying you should run out and find something to fight; just be ready. And be safe." A couple of baseball bats and hockey sticks were visible on top of the pile, but Tony and Dinah had grabbed whatever they could find, so there was all kinds of ~~totally moddable~~ stuff if you looked through it. There were golf clubs, padding, helmets, cleats and even a bowling ball.

Movies he knows. Zombies, not so much.

"So." Dinah gave the bat a slow swing. "I don't think I can stand staying inside today."

If someone was going to get hit with a bat, it should probably be someone undead.

"You're going to go out there?!"

"Tony," how to make him understand, "if I can help, I should. There might be people who need shelter, the zombies could come here-- I can't do nothing." She bit her lip, thinking of Amber and Geoffrey. "I'll find people to be with. I won't be by myself."

Tony nodded. Yeah, he understood that. "Be careful, please? If you get killed, I'm going to be really cranky."

Dinah crossed her heart, then reached over to give him a one-armed hug. "I'll have my phone with me. I'll call if I need help, or something happens, and you can call me if you find anything in Arra's stuff, right?"

Tony hugged her tight. "Of course. And if you need anything, I'll be right there," he said.

It was tempting to just stay here and be safe, but Dinah told herself she could always come back to the dorms if it got too much. Knowing Tony was back here researching would help. "I know. Wish me luck."

"Good luck," Tony said. "Stay safe."
