If it was me on fire i’d probably be a bit put out by that point. Even if fire damage is not a personal concern it can still interfere with handling other things. Although being on fire can be an asset when handling normal citizens.
She did just get some new limbs from Remy le beau. He’s a taxidermist and a traditionalist, so there are possibilities for her arm being dry *or* soaked in barely-diluted/undiluted inflammable preservatives.
Mark can clearly perceive Sweetheart talking, meaning he doesn’t have the reality perception filter most “normals” do, so how normal is he? Does he represent just others like himself, or also the majority that don’t perceive zombies as such, anyway?
I’m Mark, and I can assure you that I’m definitely not normal Now, every time I wear that waistcoat (which does exist, thank you very much), I’ll be thinking of Unity’s line.
See that vest! See that vest!
See that thing upon your chest!
Ugly color, pattern’s duller,
And it’s needing to be pressed!
Flaming zombie perceives
That your garment has no sleeves!
Like a ragged and debased coat …
(Pardon me, it’s called a waistcoat)
Listen up, “normal” guy,
Other outfits you could try …
Like a polo shirt and khakis, I’d suggest!
It looks so weird, I guess you
Let your mother dress you!
See that vest!
See that vest! (Geez, it’s making me depressed!)
See that vest!
See that vest!
See that vest!
Poop! I meant “on,” not “than.” I know we’ve had a few complaints recently about floating replies, so let me revive the whinging about uneditable comments.
You don’t think the secret agency Doctor Lee works for sabotaged her plans and now the brains from the machine are turning the zombies into mindless zombies that eat people?
That is a waistcoat.
A vest is like a sleeveless t-shirt. While they generally cover the same section of body, they’re completely different items of clothing. For instance, waistcoats are generally open at the front, whereas vests (being no more than sleeveless t-shirts) quite obviously aren’t.
In American English, what you’re describing is an A shirt or undershirt. It also has another, somewhat more offensive nickname here. We call waistcoats vests, and the fact that that guy is insisting it be called a waistcoat is a sign that he is some manner of pretentious.
Just out of curiosity (being part cat and all, nyao), why on Earth would anyone in their right mind WANT to join the “Normal Club” anyway? Normal is boring, nyao!
well would you rather he eat you?
THAT’S the solution to your problem, Unity: A Waistcoat!
What? “Water??” What does tha—- Shut up!
Water is the solvent, never the solution.
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.
If it was me on fire i’d probably be a bit put out by that point. Even if fire damage is not a personal concern it can still interfere with handling other things. Although being on fire can be an asset when handling normal citizens.
But if you were put out, you wouldn’t be on fire!
Uh, Mark? If you and yours are hanging around near a town of zombies then I’m not sure you should be calling yourselves *normal*! >_>
Have you seen the rents in other parts of California?
Anyone who claims to speaking on behalf of “normal people” . . . , probably isn’t that normal
Does Unity suspect the presence of ninjas?
Yeah, but your waistcoat is covered in bass clefs.
this may be a way of saying that Mark will be no treble at all
Duly noted.
Mark got frustrated while discussing designs with his tailor and finally said, “Oh, F it”.
It seems his fashion sense has a major problem.
and that would be that he’s an anti-undead bassist.
Is Unity normally flammable, or has she let that arm fall prey to dry rot?

Those with reality filters don’t join Concerned Normal Citizens, because they don’t recognise that there’s anything to be concerned about.
I’d be concerned if there was nothing to be concerned about. Things would be quiet.
Too quiet…
Better dry than moldy. She has no blood anyway, so renal failure is not a concern. No comment on dehydration-induced dementia.
OH He’s a ‘baseline’ citizen.
That is too punny for this group. :\
Just more fuel fore the fire…
mnem
*Cackles, ducking thrown footwear and body parts*
There are pre-dead people residing in Colma?
Mark is, of course, using the Greater San Francisco definition of “normal”.
I’m Mark, and I can assure you that I’m definitely not normal
Now, every time I wear that waistcoat (which does exist, thank you very much), I’ll be thinking of Unity’s line.
Cool. Do you have C and G as well?

Bravo! Like the Capitol Steps’ “Euro Pest,” your filk of that song greatly improves than the original.
Poop! I meant “on,” not “than.” I know we’ve had a few complaints recently about floating replies, so let me revive the whinging about uneditable comments.
“We detest/Any guest/From the West!” That song has stayed with me pretty well.
To be fair, the actual colour is more dark green than that greyish one. I wasn’t specific enough when describing it.
Waistcoat with question marks on it? Mark’s definitely a Time Lord.
Which makes him extranormal, not Normal.
Unless he’s using normal to mean ‘like or of Norm’, in which case he’s cool.
I think those are bass clefs.
So anyone named Norm is automatically normal, then?
Normal is a relative term, especially in California.
The pattern on the vest is a very narrow paisley, or, more properly, a skinny buta pattern.
I wonder if they have a Normal School… and come to think of it, what the alternative schools were called…
You don’t think the secret agency Doctor Lee works for sabotaged her plans and now the brains from the machine are turning the zombies into mindless zombies that eat people?
From the usual sources, is he sure it’s not a cravat instead?

Weird how doubling down on a cheap gag can salvage it. Nice one. Flame on.
