fandomhigh | Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Thursday, Per 3

Messages had gone out to the students letting them know that tomorrow's lesson would involve a Danger Shop version of a spa, and so bring appropriate clothing and to message her on the side if you had any concerns. Thus, nobody should be surprised when they walked into the Danger Shop and discovered Liliana getting a manicure and a pedicure at the same time with four different attendants. There were other pedicure seats around for people to sit in, but also regular chairs as well, for people who did not wish to start their class with a mani-pedi.

To each their own and all that.

"In media, the apocalypse always happens at convenient times, even if it doesn't seem like it," she told the class. "You're either wearing clothing or have time to put some on, all the way to socks, shoes, and outer gear appropriate to the weather. If anybody is caught in the bathroom, they are inevitably a zombie put there for comedic effect or shock value. It's rare that a person - especially a main character - has to deal with the apocalypse while underdressed, or worse still, undressed."

She freed a hand and gestured to the interior of the spa. "So that's what's going to happen today. Change into whatever clothing you brought along with you, and then feel free to wander. There are pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, saunas, showers, restaurants, and massages available to you. At some point, zombies will attack and it's your job to fight them off or escape. Pay attention in each feature you visit; are there things you can use as weapons? Ways you can slow them down? Places to hide? Do you run back to the changing area to put proper clothing on, or do you fight in a swimsuit or bathrobe? Best of luck surviving the day!"

She waved at them and then turned to begin a discussion of nail polish colors with one of the technicians.

Relaxed!

Such as it is. Feel free to start getting a mani-pedi, too, if you wish. Or don't. She's not particularly fussed.

It is very large and luxurious! Enjoy any one of the offered amenities! And, you know, also do that thing she mentioned with the paying attention or whatever. It's totally important. Probably.

Okay, while this absolutely had just been Liliana wanting to have a spa day, there was some quasi-useful information in there. Can you escape the hordes of the undead while still dripping wet from a hot tub? Let's find out!

Look, she's having a great time in one of the hot tubs.

So, uhhhh anybody wanna guess where we went today?

Erasmus Boone

Erasmus had never been to a spa before and wasn't sure what he was supposed to be doing here. Maybe he could just...do what someone else did?

"It's cheating to just stay by you, isn't it?" Stark asked, glancing over at Liliana. "Or are you a valuable resource?"

Beckett Mariner

"I am always a valuable resource, darling," Liliana said with a laugh. "But staying near me won't help you. They can still get you while leaving me alone."

Jonathan Sims

Jon was paying attention! He was better at that than at relaxing, really.

Of the choices...Yes, all right, he could probably manage to sit through a pedicure.

And now there were zombies, and Jon had wet feet and no shoes. Well, it certainly could be worse.

...

"I wonder if zombies can swim." Would the center of the pool be safe? Or would they just walk across the bottom?
