Wednesday: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse - Class Four

When the students entered the Dangershop today, they’d find themselves inside a deserted Wal*Mart store.



“Today we’re going to talk about equipment. Specifically we’re going to talk about-”

Yes. Columbus hit a button on the remote. And yes more block letters appeared behind him.



“-Traveling light. There’s a trick to this: You need to carry not necessarily what you want but what you need. That not only goes for physical items but emotional ones as well. As much as you might love your friends and family... Well if they’re gone, carrying around a photo album isn’t going to do you much good as much as several boxes of shot gun cartridges. That brings me to another rule.”

Yes. That would be Columbus playing with his remote again.



Yes. Columbus loves his block letters.

“Ziploc bags. Yes, they are bad for the environment. Then again? Zombies don’t recycle. However they are good for one important factor: keeping moisture out. If you’re in a dark place and your flashlight goes out, the last thing you want to find is that your replacement batteries are corroded. Or if you need to reload, you don’t want to find that your supply of ammunition has been soaked with zombie... um. Juices.”

Ew.

Columbus then waved his arm around the room. “Today, your classroom assignment is to gather all the items you would need to survive in a zombie apocalypse. While dodging zombies of course. Pick your weapon from the ones available in the store and let’s see how everything works.”

And with that, Columbus hit the remote revealing zombies wearing Wal*Mart smocks who snarled and then started to run towards the students.

“Good luck!”

Before he'd come to Fandom Calvin hadn't actually been allowed to buy his own school supplies, not after that one time...

James stretched a bit, knowing today would involve a lot of running. And more running.

James ended up in the garden tools section, where he took a few items. First, (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Meyerco-Machete-22-Blade-with-Sheath/7693653?sourceid=1500000000000003260410&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=7693653) something to hang by his side, and second (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ames-Kodiak-Roofer-s-Spade/7768164), something to keep the zombies at arm's length.

He stood on top of one of the wall racks, surveying the store to find a safe spot. The aisles looked like city blocks, in a way.

Nathan stretched a little while he wondered what he might try and snag in the freaking store. He guessed cigarettes and alcohol weren't necessities but he wanted to take them with him anyway.

Nathan grabbed a few hammers as weapons. He figured he could both throw them and swing them in a sword like fashion if the zombies got too close. Once that was done, he took off to find things to bring. What he had in mind were toiletries (look, he was not wiping with a leaf), bottles of water, cigarettes (he couldn't resist), and maybe some potato chips.

As he turned one aisle, he came face to face with a gross, puss seeping zombie. Screeching, Nathan jammed a hammer right in the zombie's eye, kicked them and took off running the other way.

Angelica didn't have much camping experience, but she ran for the outdoor section of Wal*Mart, figuring that made the most sense.

Unfortunately, several of the zombies had the same idea, and as she rounded a corner she almost ran right into a pair of them. She shrieked and instinctively let loose with a blast of her powers, zapping the zombies with microwave radiation and blowing them to crispy bits.

Oh god oh god oh god "I'm sorry!" she wailed.

Yes. Apologizing to the zombie simulations.

Cally might have stopped to argue that technically what they were doing wasn't so much "shopping" as it was "looting," but then the large female zombie in the even larger purple flowered dress and squelchily-oozing plastic flip-flips might have caught up with her.

Right. Hardware aisle for a mag-lite and batteries for it...

Check that. Hardware aisle for beating a large female zombie in an even larger purple flowered dress and squelchily-oozing plastic flip-flips over the head with a mag-lite until it stopped twitching.

Then once more for good measure.

Wal-Mart had guns, right? Annie was much less sure about this class if she didn't have a gun. She thought about this as she stretched, since it was better than thinking about zombie juices.

Alex hadn't really shopped for school supplies before... then again, they always managed to appear in her bag somehow.

Oh, Annie was totally gunning for the firearms, pardon the pun. And if she hadn't ended up running into zombies and her running the other way (she screamed without a gun, too), she would have made it.

Instead she ended up in the gardening section, where the gardening hoe didn't work as well as she would have liked. It turned out to be a good thing she also grabbed a pair of pruning shears, though she never ever ever wanted to get that close to one of these again.
