    Silly Unity! Zombie labor is always easy to replace. Just set up a lightening rod anywhere. It’s the skilled Igors that are hard to find! ^_~

      I do believe the city watch now has both an Igor and an Igorina. VERY progressive hiring policy.

        I wouldn’t call recruiting females for rear-echelon duties all that progressive. I suppose given the pseudo-19th-century setting it could be considered that way.

          In fairness, the Watch employs females (of various species) in a variety of positions.

            Ah, you mean the literal diversity hire? I guess it is progressive after all.

    Sorry, Sweetheart, but if Unity’s anything like Mell (and she is) authorising lethal force takes all the fun out of it.

      Of course it does. That’s why you need the candy. There are some times when popcorn is simply not enough.

    (TUNE: “Foxy Lady”, Jimi Hendrix)

    … zombie …
    … candy …

    A horde coming after your brain!
    Zombies!
    They don’t know we’re saving this train!
    Zombies!

     We’re using lethal force!
     We’ll kill without remorse!
     But if we do, of course,
     There’s less … Zombie candy!

    Now Unity fights for the sake
    Of … candy!
    She asks, “What if the zombies make
    Candy?

     ’Cause if they work, you see,
     At a candy factory,
     Then when we kill, for me
     There’s less … Zombie candy!“

    While looking for this livejournal entry from Unity’s New Orleans adventures: http://zerhakker.livejournal.com/19395.html (which talks about candy factories and why you should think about them before doing anything) I came across this: http://www.yelp.com/biz/unity-candy-and-grocery-bronx

      Unity has already noted that St. Charlie does not have a Fuddruckers. She must have found out while scouting for the candy factory.

    Unity thinks for a minute. “But…but what fun is killing if you can’t have CANDY after?”

    I’m glad Unity took Reginald’s advice to heart, but this is probably overdoing it.

      The alligator? That’s what I was thinking; I laughed out loud, but it’s fun to see her grapple with his candy-factory cautionary idea and try to integrate it.

    “Can you follow orders promptly and to the letter with no nonsense? Then you’re not my people.”

    Indeed. Sweetheart knows her people.

      If you are not having fun – you are doing it wrong.

      This applies to most situations in life. Even something as mundane as commuting to work becomes awesome if you add a soundtrack and rockets and teraport systems.

      Insufficient sleep plus said mental fun has been known to lead to giggling to yourself at traffic lights and getting strange looks from other drivers.

    Has it ever made any difference to Unity whether there was authorization or not?

    • Shadowmehr

      Yes. If there is no authorization, you have to fake being sorry after the mayhem settles. If there is authorization, you can add an extra 15% to the radius of destruction and no one minds.

    To the tune of “Johnny Angel” by Shelley Fabares

    Zombie candy, zombie candy, zombie candy.

    Zombie candy, yummy!

    Zombie candy, I will munch it.
    It’s just something that I can’t resist,
    so from killing the undead, I may desist.

    Zombie candy, how I want it.
    And if I kill them all with glee,
    I might just depopulate a candy factory.

    Despite orders, I get carried away.
    I love sanguinary, and damaged property.

    CO says “Do what’s necessary”,
    but I’ll try subtlety, because I’m focused you see on…

    Zombie candy, how I love it.
    If I’m clumsy there’ll be less for me.
    So I’ll try my very best for zero cas-ual-ties.

    Never tell U.N.I.T.Y. about candied brains, no good could come of it.
