Now, now. We can’t really judge their current selves until we can determine if they were the same people during the fugue state (and given that she and Tip failed to boink, there’s some evidence they weren’t)
The key word here is possibly. given that they were all in fugue neither she nor we have any way of knowing and you’d think a shrink like Tip would know that. @_@
Towering Barbarian: I’m not sure. Either she has coffee left or she doesn’t. Lt. Eris already checked for grass in her hair, so she’ll probably check the coffee situation just as soon as she finishes trying to kill that thing.
From what I can see of her firearm, I’d guess that it was some sort of semi-automatic rifle. (The sort of device that some like to call an “assault weapon”. It’s pretty clearly not fully automatic, so not an actual assault rifle.) Which makes her reference to “both barrels” a bit puzzling. On the other hand, it may just be a bit of maniacal hyperbole.
Looks to be something similar to an Uzi, which IS fully automatic, but still only has one barrel. But then the glowy blue bit at the top of the gun is puzzling. Maybe it’s a Mad science thing.
Or maybe it’s just a colloquialism (not hyperbole – it comes from firing both barrels of a double-barreled shotgun simultaneously).
The whole “Pew! Pew!” bit makes it seem (to me) that it’s a semi-automatic. (I suppose it could be an assault rifle being fired on semi-automatic, but that doesn’t seem in character in this case.)
There are some assault rifles that have an integrated grenade launcher – a second barrel underneath the rifle barrel. That would be a good choice for fighting monsters.
Well, that only works if you are in a military unit. Small parties with limited resources should conserve their ammo for the other bears in hats that might be around the corner. Still, one can’t fault her enthusiasm.
Well, Goose Girl talked that way, and I don’t think it was coffee.
No that was her inherent gooseness.
She drank all the coffee?!? Leave her behind!
Now we know which one of them is expendable.
Now, now. We can’t really judge their current selves until we can determine if they were the same people during the fugue state (and given that she and Tip failed to boink, there’s some evidence they weren’t)
THEJOE! looks like they’re gong to leave ALL of her.

Tip’s not a shrink. He’s a research psychologist. And he’s not nearly as observant as he’d like everyone to believe.
Well, the outpost is right out of view, but I do see a cave right behind them.
Poor cave bear. Just trying to get home…
The cave is the outpost.
And so we continue to destroy ourselves.

Anything that goes pew! is a laser. Though lasers don’t have barrels, at least I don’t think so.
Maybe one gun barrel and one barrel of laughs?
Googled this:

“Anything that goes pew! is a laser.”
Apparently you don’t follow too many shooters online. I know a few who use “Pew! Pew!” in reference to when they go out to the shooting range.
The double-barrel AR-15 is nice, but I think the DP-12 shotgun would be better suited for fighting a zombie swamp…
“Pew pew” perhaps fits better with a mad science raygun than a bullet-firing conventional firearm?

The bear (?) seems to be wearing a Bitey hat.
Welcome to the party. Glad you’re all caught up now.
There’s overkill and then there’s this
Apparently she’s of the Schlock Mercenary persuasion: “There is no ‘overkill’. There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘reload’.”

Sorry, this was meant as a reply to Rimwolf.
At first I thought she was shouting “pew pew.” I’m a little disappointed that she wasn’t actually.
