{5th Outbreak; Video}
[Clementine doesn't use this thing as often as some others might. But she does where necessary. With sometimes checking in keeping an eye on things, on certain friends. This time though? Well. She seems partly resigned and partly kind of terrified as she addresses the network over the Fluid. Judging by the way she fidgets some, as she sits at her bed, biting at her lower lip and brushing back some strands of hair.]
I -- I know others got these too. [She says, briefly holding up her own obituary.]
I'm not sure whether to believe this or not. I've managed to survive everything here and back home so far but I'm always also aware that anyone's luck can run out in that regard. I said this before, once, but. Just in case. In case something does happen and I die, or if Louis or Daryl does. Someone has to take care of us before we turn. Aim for the head, the brain. I don't want to cause an outbreak here with making everyone walkers here too.
[She purses her lips, glancing to the side for a brief moment in petting at her Marowak's....er, skull? Head? In seemingly reassuring the creature that she was okay.]
-- right, for those that don't know. By walkers I mean....zombies. Whatever you call them. The dead that don't stay dead, that still move around and try bite and eat flesh. Including human. Once we die or we get bit by one, we all turn. I can't be the one to -- if something happens, someone has to deal with me. Before I turn and bite someone.
[Clementine gives a sigh, a shrug then. This was. A lot. She's trying to remain mostly calm and not entirely freak out about it but it's hard not to at least a little given her home situation and what that means regarding them being infected. And her being unsure what that might mean here and whether if they died here they would turn or not.]
Still. Gotta be the first Christmas and New Years I sorta celebrated in years. That's something. Even if this place never really lets up. Stay sharp. Look after each other.

Video; un: darkness
[Still, he's taken note of what Clementine's said. They just got through an ice zombie outbreak and he's not keen to end up in the middle of a normal one right after.]
Video; un: clementine
[Practical? Perhaps. She's just trying to be careful in giving warning. Just in case. Clementine swallows, glancing down to Marowak.]
no subject
[In any other circumstances, that would be a creepy and horrifying thing to say. But in one where someone needed to have their head sliced as a necessity for the well being of everyone else in town? That Maul could do.]
no subject
[Hopefully she won't have to. But at least it was good to know people were aware of the risk if something happened to her. They knew what to do. They could handle this and were willing to do this if necessary.]
no subject
[He was sure some people would hold it against him no matter what he did but Clementine seemed very insistent about this and Maul would have been a fool not to realize how quickly an outbreak could spread from just a single person.]
no subject
[When the alternative was her death causing another outbreak otherwise if nobody stopped her from turning? She would rather someone take care of it.]
Hopefully it won't come to that. Hopefully it'll be fine. I just -- just in case.
no subject
[He smiles, a small sharp-toothed one that nonetheless is meant to be reassuring.]
no subject
[There's some resigned comfort in this at least. Knowing some were able, capable of dealing with it if things did go south.]
Video: UN: be-lou-ga
It could go either way. Las January was pretty extra so... yeah. Can't hurt to be smart about it. A lot of people know how to deal with us though. I made sure of that.
[He just hopes his friends realise how serious he was about that at the time.]
I'll keep an eye on you, do what needs to be done, of course. It doesn't hurt to have more people know though- just in case we get seperated.
[A different her had to do it for him, after all. Besides, it wasn't a taboo so much for them. It was just what you did for the people you cared about. Like helping change a flat tyre or lending a friend a few dollars when they needed it- natural as anything. ]
video: un: clementine
[Clementine says with a nod. She doesn't look thrilled at the idea of needing to take care of each other in that sense, but. Well. She'd done it for others before. She wants to believe she could trust Louis in that. He and Daryl definitely know the stakes if they die and turn.]
Thanks. I'll -- you too. If we have to.
no subject
[He offers a strained smile.]
I know you would. We'll... deal with it as best we can, 'kay?
no subject
[When she was bit. Clementine realizes that in hindsight now. It was all so sudden. Back then when it happened all those years ago. The voice message from her parents. Leaving with Lee to go find them and all.]
.....Yeah. Right. Course we will.
no subject
[They only had Ms Martin left and a lot of kids died super damn fast.]
We'll figure it out, Clem. I've not let Deerington beat me yet.
no subject
[It's debatable if not for Lee how long she might have lasted. If not him, someone else would have probably found her and tried to help. But whether it would have gone the way it did with Lee? Whether they would have taught her enough like he had to get by on ever since.]
I've no intentions of letting this place kill me either. I just -- want to be prepared. Just in case.
no subject
[Namely: hreatbreakingly badly.]
Good, glad to hear it. You're too tough to be done in by this place.
no subject
[Even if it decidedly, obviously, was not the outcome she wanted to find.]
Nobody is invincible, Louis. But I've managed so far. Just have to keep it up.
no subject
[He can make a damn good guess his parents didn't make it- but he'll never know for sure.]
Clem, I've seen you get up from everything. I- [he pauses, exhales- it's time] you've survived a bite.

That part of her really, REALLY hated this place for that].
I think we all got these obituaries Clem. I don't think they meant for you to start going down that road!
There has to be a way to stop stuff like that happening so people don't have to die...
[Someone like Clementine dying really clued Luz in how quickly some of the kids here had to grow up].
Video;UN: clementine
[Maybe this might almost seem sort of reckless or suicidal in a way but. She just wants to be prepared just in case. She doesn't want to turn. To start an outbreak here, is all.]
I dunno if there's a way to stop Sodder, to stop this dream, this nightmare, whatever you want to call it. Not like if there was I'd have much if any chance to.
[Clementine knew about survival. She can handle herself. Pretty damn well. But she doesn't have abilities or such like a lot of the others do here. She's well aware she's outmatched and that it's more likely one of them that would figure stopping this if there is a way to do so.]
Re: Video;UN: clementine
[Ugh, her stomach was already curdling at the thought of killing a friend. Worse, what if it was Scorpia, or Margot, people who weren't prepared to die like Clem]?
You don't know that? No one does! I have to believe we're all here for a reason, and we wouldn't be here if we don't have the potential to stop this dream once and for all!
Video;UN: clementine
[She is well aware how difficult it is. Especially the first time, to spare someone the fate of turning. She gives a shrug then as Luz continues.]
I don't know. I haven't figured on why we're here exactly beyond we're stuck in Sodder's dream or whatever. I don't know how to stop this. To wake us all up, however it's supposed to work. Some have....left? Woken up? But I don't know that we're aware of how to do that on purpose exactly.
Re: Video;UN: clementine
[This didn't seem fair at all. She knew that Clementine had a bad turn in her world, but that she'd have to kill her? Like Fern had to kill Eda, so she wouldn't go and mistakenly hurt someone? That was such a hard thing to think about. Luz went quiet for a moment, and finally, she replied].
So if for any reason you die, you said you'll turn? That's completely true, no avoiding that?
[She could skip escaping Sodder: by now, that was nothing more than a pipe dream, and she couldn't count on it right now. There was too many pieces missing. Right now she wanted to know if what Clementine was saying was a reality].
Video;UN: clementine
[Clementine perhaps seems almost resigned to it, but it's hard not to. After half of her life she's been dealing with this back home. It's no wonder she's not necessarily taking finding these funeral programs lightly. That she's trying to be prepared just in case, given her situation.]
Re: Video;UN: clementine
[Ok, yes, she totally understood that Clementine was older and definitely more mature than her but she absolutely had to find a way to get Clementine to do anything that wasn't dangerous or life threatening somehow. It just seemed so sad that her whole life back home was avoiding all kind of crazy death stuff].
H-how's your Christmas been so far?
Video;UN: clementine
[Whatever is on hand. Clementine isn't picky. She's had to use whatever she had available in the moment sometimes in self defense. Clementine gives a shrug, perhaps a faint hint of a smile.]
Actually not too bad. First I've had in years. Wish AJ was here to celebrate with him too, but. Not like I can do anything on bringing him here or getting back to him myself from here at the moment.

I think you got this confused with the zombie prompt! I'll go to that one next!
Derp. Yeah. I think I must have. Sorry.
Heh, it happens, and we have a full on thread for that anyway!
