<b>(author's note: the audio is having issues in Chrome & Edge; I am working on a fix for this, but it is going to take some time. For now, it seems to work just fine in Firefox.)</b>
[[Begin.->intro]]
<<next>>\
The day my world changes, [[I’m participating in a team-building program at work. We’re all divided into groups, and the task goes as follows:->intro]]
<<next>>\
A bowl with slips of paper is passed around the table. When you get the bowl, you have to pull one of the papers out and answer the question or prompt written on it. So far, I’ve heard Susan talk about her preferred music genres, DJ discuss his favorite type of weather, and Dwayne share what foods he liked most. [[Then, it’s my turn.->intro]]
<<next>>\
I take the bowl from Dwayne and pull out a slip of paper. Unfolding it, [[I read what it says aloud:->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "ysharegroup" play>>YANCY: [[Share a silly or fun fact about yourself with the group.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "ysharegroup" stop>>\
I look up at my coworkers, who are all anticipating my response. I know what I want to say. [[But I also know what my mother would tell me to say. And she always gets what she wants.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "1" play>>\
YANCY: Well, when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a photographer. Which is a pretty silly thought, isn’t it?
DJ: Sorry, I don’t get it. Why is that silly?
YANCY: Because I’m a pretty straightforward person. [[I’m not the creative type. I mean, my mother told me that enough times growing up, hahaha!->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "1" stop>>\
There’s an awkward silence. I feel like I said something wrong, but I don’t know what.
[[Try to say something to save the moment?->intro][$choice to "save"]]
[[Just pass the bowl to the next person?->intro][$choice to "pass"]]

<<audio "ysorryguessonlyfunny" stop>>\
That’s when I noticed that it isn’t just the table—the entire room is silent, aside from somebody whispering up front. I look in that direction, and see that the boss’s assistant, Julie, is saying something into the boss’s ear that has made him turn pale.
The boss, Ruthford, notices everybody staring, and [[he stands up, gesturing to the door.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "ruthurgentnews" play>>\
RUTHFORD: Julie is telling me that there is some urgent news on the television that we need to see. Everybody, [[let’s go out into the hall and watch, please.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "ruthurgentnews" stop>>\
He walks out of the room, and we all shuffle behind him. As we approached the monitor hanging in the hallway, [[the news broadcast reaches my ears.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "nrreallifezombies" play>>\
NEWS REPORTER: . . . Yes, Frank. For those of you just joining us, welcome. We have an urgent report: scientists have stated that real-life "[[zombies->intro]]" have appeared among us, rising from the dead and biting people. Once again, we have to emphasize that this is not a joke, this is a real event that is occurring all around the globe. The recently deceased have been rising within hours of their death, and trying to attack people.
<<next>>\
<<audio "nrreallifezombies" stop>>\
[[What the hell?!->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "nrcdc" play>>\
NEWS REPORTER: The CDC has issued an urgent report, telling Americans that if anybody around them passes away, report their death to your local police station so that the body can be properly quarantined. [[So far, that has helped contain this strange outbreak, and the president is scheduled to issue an address tonight to the United States.->intro]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "nrcdc" stop>>\
Some of my coworkers are crying. Others pull out their cellphones and call their loved ones. Still others are screaming, in fear or in anger or both.
I stand there, frozen. My life is flashing before my eyes. The zombie apocalypse has come to life, and I am in the middle of it.
My biggest anxiety right now is . . .
[[Am I going to lose everything?->intro][$choice to "lose"]]
[[Is everything about to change before I knew it?->intro][$choice to "change"]]
[[Am I going to die?->intro][$choice to "die"]]
<<next>>\
<<if $choice is "lose">>\
In the apocalypse, it doesn’t matter what you had accumulated before everything ended—the little you had can still be lost, and you can be reduced to nothing. [[And I have barely anything, so surely I’m going to be less than nothing, very soon.->intro]]
<<elseif $choice is "change">>\
I have a hard enough time adjusting to change on a day-to-day basis—and now, [[surely everything as I know it is going to be very different.->intro]]
<<elseif $choice is "die">>\
That scares the shit out of me. [[ I’m only 27—I’m not ready to die, for heaven’s sake!->intro]]
<<endif>>\
<<next>>\
If this really does lead to the end of the world, I will have so many regrets . . .
. . . and [[the biggest regret that comes to mind surprised me.->intro]]
<<next>>\
All my life, I believed that I’m a very straightforward person, because that was what my mother always said. And because of that, I never pursued photography. And thinking about it now, I remember how much I really, <i>really</i> wanted to pursue it as a teen. But I held myself back. I held myself back so many times, forced myself to bury that dream, until it was nothing but a laughable "what-if" in the back of my brain.
[[Now that the end is near, I’m certainly not laughing now.->intro]]
<<next>>\
I clench my fist, letting determination fill my heart. [[And I vow to pursue that dream before the world ends, even if it kills me.->intro]]

Ruthford lets us go early, and gives everybody paid time off for the next week, due to the emergency of the FUCKING ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. As I drive home in my tiny Ford Focus, I can’t help but notice (1) the increase in traffic on my usual route home, and (2) that every supermarket I pass has a parking lot full of cars. As I get closer to my town of Bluebird Bridge, I start to realize that the people stopping at the supermarket probably have the right idea, and so, [[I go to my local Pop ‘N Shop->su0]] (it’s hard to find a parking space).
<<next>>\
Inside, it’s the most crowded I’d ever seen. More crowded than before a holiday, and even Black Friday isn’t a match compared to this. Thankfully, I happen to be going in just as a person is leaving, so I was able to secure their cart.
I squeeze through the crowd in the grocery isles and [[make my way to the electronics section, where there are far less customers->su0]]. Food can wait—I have plenty at home, and that isn’t what’s on my mind at the moment.
<<next>>\
I reach the isle with the cameras, and suddenly find myself face-to-face with an obvious dilemma: [[how am I going to choose which one to get? I don’t know anything about cameras!->su0]]
<<next>>\
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: Sir, [[can I help you?->su0]]
<<next>>\
I turn to the employee. [[I’m not technically a "sir"—I’m agender and mainly use they/them pronouns, though I still use he/him sometimes. But explaining all of that to a random stranger is, of course, not worth it.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "2" play>>\
YANCY: Yeah, um, I’m looking to purchase a camera, but I don’t know which one to buy.
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: Ah, gotcha. What are you looking for in a camera?
YANCY: Something simple and easy to use. I don’t want anything too complicated. . . I’m just starting out, after all.
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: I see. [[In that case, I would suggest the Solaroid.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "2" stop>>\
They take an [[instant camera->su0]] off of the shelf and show it to me.
<<next>>\
<<playlist "3" play>>\
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: It’s pretty easy to use, but has a good amount of useful features, like uploading your pictures to the cloud. It’s also solar powered and has a guaranteed life of at least five years.
YANCY: [[Why is there a picture already in it?->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "3" stop>>\
I point to [[the landscape photo in the transparent box->su0]].
<<next>>\
<<audio "pnsenekoniravioli" play>>\
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: Oh, that’s part of their new marketing campaign. The Magnus Camera Company teamed up with a few influencers to take photos with the Solaroid, and package a photo taken with the camera. Looks like this one is by . . . let’s see here . . . "[[nekoniravioli->su0]]".
<<next>>\
<<audio "pnsenekoniravioli" stop>>\
[[. . . Nekoni?->su0]]
[[No, it can’t be her. . .->su0]]
[[. . . can it?->su0]]
<<next>>\
[img[yancygame/images/inuniverse/itsnekoni.png]]
I take a closer look at the Solaroid that the employee is holding, and sure enough, the photo of an orange sunset against a purple sky was taken by my best friend from high school.
Or at least, someone with the same username and profile picture as her. It could be a coincidence.
No way. Who else could it be?
I have to know. Which means that I should. . .
[[YANCY: I’ll take it. Thanks.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "4" play>>\
YANCY: I’ll take it. Thanks.
POP ‘N SHOP EMPLOYEE: Fantastic! [[I can ring you up right over there.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "4" stop>>\
The rest of my trip is a bit of a blur. I buy the camera, buy some groceries (somehow squeezing through the big crowd in the store), and then make my way back to my apartment complex.
When I enter, I see my neighbors were lingering in the hallway, talking nervously to each other. [[The couple next door, Hendrix (a colorful snow leopard) and Horizon (a literal cat-fish) spot me and walked over.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "henheardnews" play>>\
HENDRIX: Yancy! I’m so glad you’re here—we were getting worried about you. [[I assume you heard the news? About the . . . zombies?->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "henheardnews" stop>>\
[[YANCY: Yeah, I heard.->su0][$choice to "heard"]]
[[YANCY: Yeah. I’m glad you two are ok.->su0][$choice to "ok"]]
<<next>>\
<<if $choice is "heard">>\
<<playlist "5" play>>\
YANCY: Yeah, I heard.
HENDRIX: Isn’t it scary?
HENDRIX: I can’t even imagine what those poor zombies must be feeling. And their families! They must be terrified for their transformed loved one—I know I would be.
HENDRIX: If Horizon here turned into a zombie, I know I would be pretty scared! I would be so worried I wouldn’t be able to sleep! I—
HORIZON: Take a breath, baby. [[You’re gonna get yourself into an anxious mess if you keep asking "what if"s.->su0]]
<<else>>\
<<playlist "6" play>>\
YANCY: Yeah. I’m glad you two are ok.
HENDRIX: I’m glad too! It was pretty chaotic, getting home.
HENDRIX: I know if something happened to Horizon here, I’d never be able to live it down! I’d—
HORIZON: Baby, we just ran into some bad traffic. Nothing we couldn’t handle. [[And together, the two of us can take on the world.->su0]]
<<endif>>\
<<next>>\
<<playlist "5" stop>>\
<<playlist "6" stop>>\
<<playlist "7" play>>\
HENDRIX: Right. . . You’re right, as usual. Thank you, darling. (takes a deep breath)
HORIZON: [[Anytime, baby.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "7" stop>>\
The two smooch, and I can’t help but smile. Hendrix & Horizon love each other like crazy, and even the homophobes who live in our apartment complex can’t stop that love from shining like a star.
[[Then, Hendrix turns to me.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "8" play>>\
HENDRIX: Was your trip back here ok? I know your job is a bit far.
YANCY: Yeah, it’s not exactly close. . . Well, I had quite a bit of traffic. And there was quite a crowd when I stopped at Pop ‘N Shop.
HORIZON: You were smart to go there. You grabbed necessities, I assume?
YANCY: Yeah, and. . . Well. . . I also got something else while I was at the store.
HENDRIX: Oh? [[What did you get?->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "8" stop>>\
I hesitate. I look up to Hendrix & Horizon a lot—hell, they’re basically the gay dads I never knew I needed—but telling them I picked up a camera seems so stupid. Maybe because [[I know my mother would disapprove, and I don’t want my other parental figures to be disappointed, too.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "horgoonyancy" play>>\
HORIZON: Go on, Yancy. [[What is it?->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "horgoonyancy" stop>>\
Hearing Horizon’s comforting words gives me the courage I need, and I decide, fuck it. [[If the world is ending, I might as well tell them, or I’ll regret that I never did.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "9" play>>\
YANCY: I ended up grabbing a camera while I was there. I’ve always wanted to be a photographer, and, um, better late than never, right?
HENDRIX: Better late than never is right! I hope that pursuit goes well for you, Yancy.
YANCY: Thanks. And it might help me reconnect with an old friend, so that’s good, too.
HORIZON: [[That’s wonderful!->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "9" stop>>\
I smile, [[letting out a silent sigh of relief->su0]]. Thank goodness than went well. . .
<<next>>\
<<playlist "10" play>>\
YANCY: Alright, I’m going to go relax at my place. Did you check on Babbit while I was gone?
HORIZON: Yep! We gave him dinner, since you were running a little late—Hendrix figured that would be helpful.
YANCY: Thanks, it is helpful. [[I’ll see you two later.->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "10" stop>>\
I wave at the couple as I walk down the hall to my apartment, where I unlock & open the door. Once inside, I close the door, letting out a sigh as I walk over to the kitchen to put my groceries away.
My pet, Babbit, lets out a happy yip and trots towards me, his fluffy, fox-like tail wagging like crazy. Like all feral animals, he has one eye, like a cyclops. The fur on his head & tail is a sea green color and very thick, while the fur on the rest of his body is gray & short.
[[I put my groceries on the counter and crouch down, giving him plenty of pets.-->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "11" play>>\
YANCY: Hey buddy! You missed me, huh?
BABBIT: Arf arf!
YANCY: Yeah, I thought so. And I’m sure your day was a hell of a lot better than mine. . . [[I mean, you don’t have to care about the zombie apocalypse, for crying out loud!->su0]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "11" stop>>\
I put away my groceries, and when I get to the final bag, I see the Solaroid camera inside, and [[Nekoni’s picture->su0]]. Right. Let’s get that done.
<<next>>\
I open the camera, pulling out the bulky yellow device and examining it. There’s a pamphlet inside that explains the various parts, and directs me to download an app called "The Magnus Camera Cloud". Maybe I’ll get to that tomorrow—that’s not my priority right now.
I pick up the photo already in the camera and look again at the username & profile picture. Then, I get my laptop, powering it on. [[Opening the browser, I type the username (nekoniravioli) into the GrammerPic photo platform.->su0]]
<<next>>\
When I see nekoniravioli’s profile, my eyes widen. From the thumbnails of the videos & pictures, I can see that this is definitely Nekoni: she’s a brown-haired catgirl with purple eyes, and that’s who I see in the videos. She even still wears pigtails, like she did back then. I swipe through them, and hear her voice, too. [[It’s her, my old friend.|su0chat]]
Also, this account has over two-hundred thousand followers. I can’t help but smile—it looks like Nekoni found success as an influencer of some kind, something I remember her talking about in high school. Good for her!
<</pages>><<pages>>\
<<set $skip to "su1">>\
I log into my own GrammerPic account and click the "Direct Message" button next to nekoniravioli’s profile pic. I’m taken to a blank message screen, a white wall of infinite possibilities where anything could happen. Kind of terrifying, honestly.
What do I type?

Ah, right. I’m off work right now due to the . . . emergency. [[Well, at least I have time to relax?->su1]]

I pick up my phone and walk out of my bedroom. After filling Babbit’s food bowl, I immediately spot the Solaroid camera, sitting on the table in my tiny living room area, right where I left if. I go over to it and pick it up. Remembering the app I was instructed to download, [[I go to the app store and install The Magnus Camera Cloud. Then, I open it.->su1]]
<<next>>\
The screen shows a little icon of the camera, and then, [[a human with blue hair appears on the screen.->su1]]

SHYLER: Hey there! I’m Shyler, the Solaroid AI, and welcome to The Magnus Camera Cloud. This will be your home base for everything related to your camera, from photo management to customer support. We’re so glad you’re here!

YANCY: Um . . . the light’s on?
SHYLER: Good to hear! That means the camera is connected to the app. Let me give you the basic rundown of the features you’ll find in The Magnus Camera Cloud.
SHYLER: First is the <b>Photo Cloud Service</b>. [[Any picture you take with the Solaroid camera will be digitally uploaded to this app’s cloud, where you can view them at any time.->su1]] You get 5 gigabytes of free data, but can pay for more if you would like!
<<next>>\

<<playlist "31" play>>\
SHYLER: Next is Customer Support. This lets you get in contact with Solaroid’s 24/7 customer care team, in the case of any issues with your camera or account.
SHYLER: Finally, there’s me! Yep, I’m a Solaroid feature too (laughs)! If you need information about the app, want help identifying the things in your picture, or have any other questions, I’m here!
SHYLER: [[Is there anything I can help you with at this time?->su1]]

<<playlist "32" play>>\

SHYLER: Alright then! [[Your camera is loaded with 10 pieces of film, so don’t forget to purchase some more if you want to take more photos.->su1]]
<<next>>\
<<playlist "32" stop>>\
10 pieces of film. . . I better use it sparingly. [[Maybe I’ll do one photo a day—yeah, that sounds like a good idea.->su1]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "shythatsallfornow" play>>\
SHYLER: That’s all for now. [[See you later, Yancy!->su1]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "shythatsallfornow" stop>>\
Shyler disappears from the screen. I turn off my phone, picking up the camera. Taking the first picture is a daunting prospect, I have to admit. . . But then, I remember Nekoni’s advice on creating stuff back in high school: "If it seems scary, make the first thing you do something silly or fun!" [[So I decide to take a picture of Babbit, who is sitting on the floor in front of me.->su1]]
<<next>>\
I pick up the camera and hold it up to be face, putting my eye up to the viewfinder as I point the Solaroid at it at Babbit. My pet is looking up at me with a goofy smile.
[[Take the shot|su1shot][$babbitpic to "smile"]]
[[Wait->su1]]
<<next>>\
I wait. Babbit lets out a big yawn.
[[Take the shot|su1shot][$babbitpic to "yawn"]]
[[Wait->su1]]
<<next>>\
I wait. Babbit is about to walk away. I better take the shot before he moves.
[[Take the shot|su1shot][$babbitpic to "walk"]]

I press down on the shutter button, and the camera flashes. [[Babbit whines, and I lower the camera, feeling kind of bad.->su1shot]]

<<audio "ysorrybuddybright" play>>\
YANCY: Sorry, buddy. [[I didn’t realize it would be so bright. . .->su1shot]]
<<next>>\
<<audio "ysorrybuddybright" stop>>\
The picture comes out of the slit on the front of the camera, and it’s pitch black. From what I remember about these types of camera, it’ll take a minute to develop. . . But then, my phone buzzes, and I see a notification: "[[Your Solaroid camera photo has been uploaded to the cloud! Click here to view it!->su1shot]]"
<<next>>\
I press the notification, and The Magnus Camera Cloud opens. A moment later, the picture is on screen:
<<if $babbitpic is "smile">>[img[yancygame/images/photos/babbitpicsmile.png]]<<elseif $babbitpic is "yawn">>[img[yancygame/images/photos/babbitpicyawn.png]]<<elseif $babbitpic is "walk">>[img[yancygame/images/photos/babbitpicwalk.png]]<<endif>>
It doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would. . . Maybe I actually have talent? But what should I do with the other 9 pieces of film? And how do I find places to take pictures?
This seems like something I should discuss with Nekoni. [[I take out my phone and message her on HiveKind.->su1shot]]

There's also an ambulance parked in front of a house nearby.
The Itty Bitty Library is basically a public bookcase build on a short pole, for people to pick up & drop off literature. Hendrix & Horizon sponsored the construction of this Itty Bitty Library (which is the only one in town so far), and they maintain it with great care.

I drive down to Latte Shop Of Horrors, parking in their small lot and walking inside. I haven't been here in a while, but the place is just as I remember it:
There are plants <i>everywhere</i>. A lot of them are venus flytrap, likely due to the name of the store. The wall is painted with various murals of venus flytraps (which are drawn similarly but not exactly like Audrey II from Little Shop Of Horrors) next to various coffee cups & beverages. They also sell cups & coasters with the same art, which is pretty neat.
There are barely any customers, likely due to the news--in fact, [[there's only one person: a brown canine with gray-blue hair, sitting in the corner.->lattesu1]] He's wearing a dark green hoodie and ripped jeans, I notice, and is very focused on whatever is on his laptop in front of him.

I hang up the voice call and lean back in my chair, glancing at the clock. There’s still quite a bit of time before my call with Nekoni.
I sigh and lean back, processing what just happened. Before I know it, I’m crying, and I put my head in my hands.
Why does this always happen to me? All my life, people try to force me to fit in a romantic box, and them trying to shove me in there always hurts. [[That’s not where I belong, and it never was.->su1echat2]]

Babbit, hearing me cry, comes over and hops up on the couch, curling up next to me and letting out little whines, like he’s asking if I’m ok. I smile and pet him, feeling [[a bit better->su1echat2]] as I do so. This continues for quite a bit of time.

Finally, I’m feeling a bit better, and I pick my computer back up. [[The voice call has finished by now, and there’s still some time before my call with Nekoni.->su1echat2]]

I’ve been thinking on & off about whether I should try DMing people on here. . . They can’t DM me, because I have a setting on for my HiveKind account: I can DM people whose DMs are open, but people can’t DM me unless I’ve DMed them first, or they’re on my friends list.
Maybe I should try DMing someone on here, catching up with them a bit. I’ll probably only have the mental energy to focus on messaging one person for right now, though. The question is, who should it be?

RAINER: So, after I dug up all of that information on Addison Clue, I wasn't sure what to do with it. But I talked about it with Steven, and we decided to confront them with the information we gathered.
STEVEN: Yep! So we replied to Addison's email with everything we found out about them and asked directly if they are a supernatural investigator.
RAINER: I kind of wasn't expecting them to reply. . . But they got back to us pretty quick!
RAINER: Let me read the email to you:
RAINER: "Dear Tesseract"--that's our name on the website, we release the podcast under that name--"Yes, you are correct. The information you have found is accurate; I am a supernatural investigator. I hope that helps explain my interest in this quest. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out again. Sincerely, Addison Clue."

I hang up the call with a happy smile. That was nice. Now though, it's time for me to go the fuck to sleep.
I look down though, and see that Babbit is sleeping on me. Guess I'm stuck here on the couch. . . Eh, I can work with this.
I get comfortable, being veeeeery careful so I don't wake my pet up. [[Once I'm in a good enough position, I close my eyes and drift off.->su3]]

My phone's alarm goes off, and I fumble for it with one hand, trying to find my bedside table multiple times before I realize that I'm on the couch. My brain is fuzzy first thing in the morning, so it takes about a minute for me to remember that my phone is in my pocket. I reach in my pocket, grab my cell, and turn off the alarm.

NEWS REPORTER: Since the appearance of zombies and their integration in our society, Americans have been asking questions about zombie rights. Here today I have two individuals from either side of the issue. On my right are zombie activists Kathlyn Truard & Frida Hex, two community organizers for ZR4A, or, "Zombie Rights For All". On my left is Daniel Smith & Fredrick McHue, the leader and community organizer, respectively, of the Living First Organization. Hello, Kathlyn & Frida.
KATHLYN: Hello, Laura. It's good to be here.
FRIDA: Yes, I'm glad we have been given this platform to speak up on [[the issue of zombie rights->f1]].
<<next>>\
<<playlist "95" stop>>\
<<playlist "96" play>>\
NEWS REPORTER: What exactly <i>are</i> zombie rights, to you both? Are they different from human rights?
KATHLYN: Well, the reason zombie rights are needed is because zombies are seen as less deserving of rights than non-turned people, which is a big problem. All across the country and the world, zombies are being treated as lesser than due to the lack of legislation protecting them.
FRIDA: Right. Since zombies are a very new concept for humankind, there are many who use the lack of protections for us as a reason to treat us badly. Zombies are discriminated against every day, and there have been multiple studies that have shown that when a non-turned & zombie candidate with the same resume applies for a job, most employers are more likely to pick the non-turned candidate. That's one of the reasons why zombie rights are needed. We need protections so that we can be treated the same as living people.
KATHLYN: And that's not even getting into the discussion of how intersectionality affects zombie rights--zombies of color, for example, are not treated as well as zombies who are white. There have been multiple reports, articles, and studies documenting this issue. [[All zombies need protection->f1]], but especially those whose zombiness intersects with other parts of them.

<<playlist "97" play>>\
NEWS REPORTER: Daniel & Fredrick, what is your perspective on the issue?
DANIEL: Well Laura, no offence to the lovely ladies over there, but flesh-eaters--
KATHLYN: Can you please not say that when referring to zombies? It's extremely rude.
DANIEL: It's what you all are, but if you insist, I'll bite. As I was saying, <i>zombs</i> are, with all due respect, unnatural. And [[living people are being overlooked->f1]] in order to provide unnecessary accommodations for flesh--I mean, zombs. Living people are being overlooked, and that's why we made the Living First Organization. Living folks were here before zombs were, after all, and now that zombs are around, we have to fight to be seen in society.

<<playlist "98" play>>\
FRIDA: Excuse me, but living people are <i>not</i> being overlooked--if anything, they're being put at the forefront while zombies are being left behind in the fight for rights.
FREDRICK: Hey, you two got your time to talk, so stop interrupting and let us finish. So disrespectful.
NEWS REPORTER: I'll have to agree with Fredrick on that one; let's let him & Daniel finish their points.
DANIEL: Thank you! Basically, ever since zombies appeared, living people have been pushed aside. We have to fight for our rights, or [[zombies are going to walk all over us->f1]].

NEKONI: I've heard that term here and there, but I'm not sure what it means. Could you explain?
YANCY: Yeah, sure!
YANCY: It's basically the combination of the words "aromantic", which is a lack of romantic attraction towards people, and "asexual", which is the lack of sexual attraction towards people.

YANCY: I've always been that way, since I was a kid. I thought that eventually I'd grow out of it and change, but that never happened. So I started doing some research on my feelings instead, tried to find out if other people felt the same why I did. That lead me to the term "aroace".
YANCY: I've never looked at someone and thought, "I want to fuck them." Ever. And I've never had a romantic crush before, not even once. I've always had a hard time understanding romantic relationships, and especially why my mom was so insistent for me to get into one. Who knew that's a big priority for some people? Well, not me.
YANCY: And [[that was a big topic when it came to our friendship->f1nekoni]]. People were always asking if I was in love with you. In the locker room, guys would ask me if you and I had had "done it" yet. Before she knew you were trans, my mom said, "You'll probably end up marrying that girl one day," and at the time, I had no idea why she said that; I remember being so baffled. After she found out you're trans, my mom would, every single day, ask if I stopped being friends with you, and insisted that my friendship with you was "stopping me from meeting a good girl to fall in love with".

I hang up the call and put my laptop on the coffee table. Babbit immediately bolts onto my lap and gets comfortable--perfect, that's exactly what I wanted.
I run my fingers through his fur, feeling a wave of relief run through me. I’m glad Nekoni apologized, because the times things like this have happened before, the person usually doubles down. But Nekoni realized she screwed up. Even though what she said still stings a little, at least our friendship can be repaired.

I fill up his food bowl and clean out his water bowl. As he eats his food, I eat my own breakfast. Then I get my laptop and get to work.

NEWS REPORTER: The current Supreme Court case started in Indiana, where zombie resident and ZR4A activist Frida Hex sued the state after she "was allowed to be assaulted under the government's watch." The ruling of the case shocked the nation: Judge Roger Heiffer stated that, "as zombies are not fundamentally human, the state cannot violate their human rights." Now, the case has made it all the way to the Supreme Court, and millions of citizens wait with bated breath as the judges decide the ruling.
NEWS REPORTER: ZR4A has released a public statement on the matter, standing alongside Ms Hex and stating that, "however this ruling goes, it will be a key case for zombie rights for years to come. We have hope that the judges will make the correct choice, one that preserves the dignity and sanctity of all life, undead and alive." Laura Bradford, Box News.

YANCY: Which hospital? What room are you in?

I do want to go and see her, but part of me doesn't want to. [[I hate dealing with my mom sometimes, and she's even worse when she's sick.->w2m]]

I usually walk to Mom's house, but this time, I decide to drive, since I'll be heading to the hospital afterwards. When I get to my car, I realize I grabbed my Solaroid, out of habit. Oh well. I toss it onto the passenger seat.
When I reach Mom's place, I park my car in the driveway and get out. Once on the porch, I take out my phone and [[call Mom->w2m]].
She answers after three rings.

MOM: Finally! (coughing) Are you at the house?
YANCY: Um, yeah.
MOM: Open the door with your key, go to my bedroom, and grab the blue bag near my bed. Now pay attention: put my yellow knitted jacket in the front closet inside of the bag, the one from my old friend Charlene, and bring it with you to the hospital.
MOM: I'm in Fratford Medical Center in room 313, got it?
YANCY: Got it.
MOM: Good. I'll see you soon, ok honey? (wheezing coughs) I love you!
YANCY: I love you too. Are you ok?
MOM: I'm fine. [[I'll see you soon.->w2m]]

<<next>>\
<<if $mom is 0>>\
The house is just as cluttered as I remember, if not much worse. I am greeted by boxes, tables, and bags, all covered in or filled with what I lovingly call "antique garbage"--old stuff Mom's acquired from yard sales, flea markets, and (of course) antique stores. She says it's worth something, but the last time I tried to sell any of it (before I gave up on that Sisyphean task), the dozens of items I listed online were worth barely anything, and even worse, Mom refused to throw away any of the objectively worthless ones. And once I stopped helping her, she told me that the reason she couldn't sell any of it is because "nobody cares enough to help me with that, so you can't blame me for this stuff still being around". Thanks Mom, really feeling the love.
As I close the door, [[I realize I'm bracing myself for something that won't come: my mom's overbearing presence. But she's not here, and my shoulders, which were raised defensively, slump to my sides as they relax.->w2m]]

Familiar clutter greets me when I enter the house. As I close the door, [[I realize I'm bracing myself for something that won't come: my mom's overbearing presence. But she's not here, and my shoulders, which were raised defensively, slump to my sides as they relax.->w2m]]
<<endif>>\

I take a deep breath and venture further inside of the house. When I get to Mom's bedroom (one of the only places in the house not filled with antique crap), I find <i>multiple</i> blue bags by the bed--one's a large plastic shopping bag, the other's a backpack, and the last's a drawstring bag. I call Mom to ask her which one's the right bag, but she doesn't answer. Guess I'll just have to choose. . .

When I go back to the front hall closet, I thankfully see that there's only one yellow knitted jacket. I take it off the hanger, fold it neatly, and put it in the bag. Then I go outside, lock the house, and get in my car. I try calling Mom again, but again, she doesn't answer. So [[I start the car and drive.->w2m]]
<<next>>\
When I get to the hospital, I walk down room 313 and see . . . my mom. Or at least, [[the husk lying in bed with my mom's face->w2m]]. She looks absolutely terrible, like her soul has been sucked out of her body. What the hell happened?
I sit down on the chair next to the bed, and my mother turns to me. She's hooked up to a ton of machines, and has an IV in her, too.

DOCTOR DOBORSKI: Well, it appears that her body has been having a very bad response to the "anti-turning" supplements she's been taking. Are you familiar with those pills of hers?
YANCY: Yeah, I knew she was taking them. . .
DOCTOR DOBORSKI: They've basically been slowly poisoning your mother over time. We've seen this in a lot of patients, but we've never seen a case as bad as this. [[She is in critical condition, and we are keeping her here to keep her comfortable during her last few days of life.->w2m]]

DOCTOR DOBORSKI: She has signed a DNR form as well as a DNZ form, which basically means that she does not want to be revived, and she wants her brain to be destroyed when she passes away, as to avoid the zombification process.

YANCY: . . . So am I . . . <i>you</i>?
BEZ: You are, in a lot of ways, yes. All of my characters are parts of me.
YANCY: So that means I’m a god, too?

The house is full of boxes, bins, and tables full of all sorts of junk.

Unfortunately, all of it is basically worthless--I tried to help her sell stuff once, and found out the <i>real</i> value of all of this crap during the time. Yet, she keeps it around the house, because, "she'll sell it for a big profit someday". [[Sure, Mom. Sure.->momsu1.1]]
