4th Cheer [Video]

[The video clicks on to reveal Sakurako all decked out in lacrosse gear, getting ready to head out of the dorms.  Her Persona, Maneki Neko, is floating right behind her.]

Hey, hey!  Is anybody else going out tonight to audition for the zombie movie?  It looks like a lot of fun!  I didn't know there were film producers and cameramen that could go out during the Dark Hour.  How come none of this stuff ever ends up on the evening news?

I'll be right over [ Garvi begins hauling ass towards the dorms. This is going to be a close run thing. ]

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay, I guess I'll wait for you, then!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel arrives, covered in blood and stinking of gunfire. ]

.... Those are zombies.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, of course they are.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

What I mean is, Mamzel, that they are real, and they will hurt you. I will protect you, however.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Oh! So this is one of those things we have to fight with our Personas to keep the town safe, then?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Just so. [ he reloads his pistol, after resting his blade against a wall. ]

You have not been hurt, have you?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

Nope! I waited just inside like I said I would.

[She glances at the pistol and the sword.]

So are you gonna tank for me like in Ragnarok Online?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, what? [ Garviel looks painfully confused. ]

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

You know! You walk around in front of me killing most of the stuff but leaving the really little ones or the last hit to me so I can gain lots of experience without actually having to do any real fighting of my own!

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

That makes no sense at all.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

No, trust me, it totally works!

......

How in the hell have you survived this long?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Starting with your most recent offense to Darwin, those are actual zombies.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

What? No way! Zombies aren't real.

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Neither are floating cat monsters, Valkyries, magical manifestations of the subconscious, or whatever the hell Shadows are supposed to be. Are you really still surprised by the bullcrap in this world?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

I thought all of that stuff was just make-believe.

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

This place is what they call "down the rabbit hole". A bunch of crazy stuff is real here for some reason, so why not zombies?

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

What do rabbits have to do with zombies, though?

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

Read a book some time, jeez!

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

I don't remember any stories about rabbits and zombies. There's the rabbit on the moon that makes mochi, but there's no zombies living on the moon. Though I guess they probably could, since they don't need to breathe or anything. Zombies don't breathe, right?

Look, just stay inside and let me handle the zombies.

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

But I can help! Maneki Neko's really strong!
