I'm still here! Maybe everyone was waiting for someone else to post? It happens sometimes. XD

How far do you have to move, anyway? Just across town, or pretty far?

I get to move from Laramie, Wyoming to Wichita, Kansans. That's a 10 hour drive or about 600 miles. This would of been my last year at the University of Wyoming but I got stonewalled. They wouldn't give me a student teaching placement and without that, I can't leave with a degree in my hands.

Phoenix? Is that you? Oh my God, I can't believe it's you! Quick, follow me.

*glance about furtively*

Before someone sees us, we have to get away. I can't believe you're back. We thought you were taken with the others.

You moved?

I'm so relieved to hear that. You got lucky. Things have been going pretty badly for us. Everything, gone, destroyed. We're rebuilding what we can. Who? We don't know. It was like they came out of nowhere. We don't know who they are or even what they look like. No one who's seen them has lived to talk about it.

It happened so suddenly. One day we were talking about KoL and then ... threads were razed, entire forums were gone! A lot of people went missing. We have yet to find Robin Sherwood's body. We think she was zombified. Dr. McCoy's head was last seen on the business end of a stick far away from his body.

TGA Jon turned to the dark side. He was spotted leading a band through the art exhibit. No, no, a polka band. They carry WMDs.

We should get moving. Their minions occasionally raid the Tavern. Oh noes. Quick, that way! We must get to the others!

Hurry up! We can't stay in the open much longer! I have no desire to find out what my own intestines look like!

Please disregard citizen Tulsileaf. There is no cause for alarm. Now if you would return to your...

**an accordion-wielding zombie bursts in through a boarded-up window**

...uh...

**unfolding the instrument, it groans, "Refraaains..." Music

**

...Excuse me.

**whips out a shotgun and blasts the accordion to bits, to the zombie's dismay**

Please return to your seats.

**shoves the zombie back through the window, as more begin clawing at the door**

Everything is proceeding as normal. You are perfectly safe.

**nails a table up across the broken shutters**

...Anyone care for a drink?

(Wing, how in the world did we get caught inside these? *Gasp* Grammar Nazis! Wait, no, these were used the wrong way. Parentheses are only used to enclose extraneous commentary, not the primary passage, unless ... hmmm.

**sees a Zombie jump in through the window - refer to Aja's post for more details**

Gah! We're going to die! Good thing I carry this.

**pulls out a Swiss Army Bowie Knife, +1 against punctuation, and cuts out of the parenthesis)**

Quick! To the Tulsi Mobile(TM)!

**opens the front door, sees some zombies and closes it again**

On second thought ...

Hmmm... Maybe if we each grab an instrument, and form an impromptu polka band...
