Could someone fill me in on where the space plague came from?

Thought I'd pop into that Medbay and try to help out, only it seems more like a roundup down there than anythin' else. This place got any doctors?

And hi, I guess. This place's a lot more radioactive than my last involuntary relocation.

[ This was his life now, said the note of resignation in that voice. Destined to drop dead of space SARS, this was fine. ]

The Netherrealm? Who coined that one? The name makes it sound like ass.

[ geddit ]

So your sorcerers get people walkin' up outta the grave, huh? That shit was illegal. Everythin' to do with necromancy, I mean.

[kaballin]

Heh.

[Oh he gets it.]

No clue. Other than the fact there's a bunch of hot succubi running around, the place sucks. It's hot, it's dark, everything is on fire, people are screaming constantly, there's nothing to do and there's shitty sorcerers in their towers trying to plot world domination. I've been there for twenty years, you know how many tv shows I've missed? And movies? Shit's fucked.

Oh it's illegal huh? Well who's gonna stop 'em?

[justbeingknife]

Bunch of other explodin' witches.

[ That was life, man. One day you were minding your own business, feeding dudes their daily dose of pavement, and the next someone was sorting you into off-brand Griffyndor and telling you not to bring bodies back from the dead. ]

So bein' here's a net positive for ya, then. How about that? I mean, aside from the odd fungus bear and maybe dyin' of the space plague.

[kaballin]

Exploding witches. Aight, that's a new one for me.

[He's taking that literally, thinking of old women on broomsticks doing some kamikaze dive bombing.]

It is, but it also sucks. Cuz all the shit I wanna do is back home, there's only a few dozen people here and they're all do-gooder types that never want to have any fun.

[justbeingknife]

And none of 'em enjoy what I can only assume is blackjack and hookers?

[ Sorry bud he was just getting that vibe. ]

It's creepy how empty this place is, though. Like bein' at the ass end of the universe.

[kaballin]

Smart guy. I like you.

Yeah its designed for hundreds and there's maybe twenty. Not to mention the whole in space on a desolate planet that seems to be made of dust.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, about that. When do the space ghosts show up? Or did I show up too late?

[ look he couldn't deny that he was slightly excited about the idea of space alien ghosts, maybe even space pirate ghosts ]

I did try and pop my head into that dance club. The selection was a goddamn disgrace.

[kaballin]

There were space clouds of terrifying death but no ghosts yet. Oh and zombies, forgot about those guys.

Are there supposed to be ghosts?

[justbeingknife]

Hell if I know. I've never even seen one, [ that he knew of ] but why not, right?

[ More importantly ]

I missed the zombies? What a kick in the dick. Never did get to see the real thing.

[kaballin]

They were in the Whole Foods.

Sure that's a sentence I just got to say: There were zombies in the Whole Foods. I fucking hate this place.

They'll probably come back, if movies taught me anything it's that you can't actually get rid of zombies.
