The Island Hates You (Yes, You), Thursday Period 2
The danger shop today was done up like the school gym. Exactly like the school gym. You may be asking yourself 'Why wouldn't they just hold the class in the gym?' but the answer to that question was a two parter. One: Stay in your lane. They were the goddamn teachers here. Two: neither of them were necromancers, so...
"Today we're fighting zombies!" Magnus said. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait to say it."
Way to build things up to a dramatic reveal, Magnus. "Zombies, or reanimated corpses, for those you from places they're called something different," like Cara was, "are more common than you'd think, and usually their greatest danger is not their music."
He couldn't help his excitable nature!
"And if you don't have a decent cleric around to be all holy and turn them or whatever--never seen it done, personally--you gotta fight them off," Magnus said, never passing up the opportunity to rip on Merle. "Probably with what you have on hand. Which might not always be real weapons."
Because 'sane' people didn't constantly carry their inventory or stay armed at literally all times.
Unless they'd figured out Cara and Mangus were only going to care if they tried using their weapons on each other, then it was just common sense. "Most cases the best way to re-kill a zombie is by taking out the head, so good luck figuring out how to do that with gym equipment." Very little of which had an edge.
"Maybe don't go for the badminton rackets?" Magnus suggested. Helpfully. "Cara and I will be here to help in case you're overrun by the hoard."
Possibly to laugh at you, but it was a sort of fifty-fifty.
They could do both. Cara was great at multi-tasking like that.
