Do you ever have that thing?
You know, where someone says nearly everyone in [group you’re in] was traumatized through one means or another
And you’re like “What? I wasn’t traumatized by any of that!”
But then you think about it further and you’re like “well there’s that one specific little thing I’m still kinda upset about sometimes, does that count?”
And then your circumstances change and your coping mechanism gets taken away, and then The Symptoms start, and you’re forced to think about that one specific thing constantly
And you’re like “yeah, that definitely counts”

The Plains Revisited
Your name is Jack.
It’s been hard trying to find food since Alexis left. It’s almost like the animals are afraid to come out. You’ve instead had to pluck herbs, leaving the other villagers a bit protein-deprived.
They’ve even started joking that you’re better as a gatherer than as a hunter. You resent this notion.
You really didn’t want it to come to this, but you guess you have no choice. If game is not present here, you’ll go where it is plentiful – the woods. You just hope that you’re not seen by anyone.
As the forest entrance reaches your view, a rabid wolf limps its way out from the trees. You don’t want to serve something that could make the others sick, but you figure it’ll at least make good compost for the farmer.
Besides, it’s in your way.
BATTLE START!
From a distance, you fire your Hunting Bow.
It auto-crits against the animal!
You deal 11 damage, downing it in one hit.
YOU WIN!
You gain 100 XP!
*
As you go to collect the body, you peek up at the forest. Through the trees, you see a human in full-plate armor limp towards you, dripping foam from his mouth.
You immediately turn away and run back to Anglers’ Dive.
*
You reconvene with the other villagers, and tell them about everything.
ALICE: Finally, something to do!
CATHERINE: Now is not the time for jokes!
JACK: Exactly. Now is the time to run.
ALICE: Pfft! From just one zombie? We fought a whole army of living people before, not to mention an army of monsters. I think we got this.
ADAM: I agree, but we still need to come up with a plan. I don’t have a way to contain any outbreaks yet.
ALICE: Ugh, strategy?! Boring!
ADAM: I know, but still. If these things are anything like Jack’s stories, anyone infected will turn just like them.
JACK: Yes. That’s why I suggest we run.
JOSEPH: But if we run, we’ll have less to work with if he does catch us!
KENNETH: Let’s draw a vote. All in favor of leaving, say “Aye”, and all against, say “Nay”.
JACK: Aye!
CATHERINE: Aye!
ALICE: Nay!
ADAM: Nay!
JOSEPH: Nay!
KENNETH: …Well, if I voted now, it’d be a tie, but that gets us nowhere, so I won’t. That’s 2 for, 3 against, 1 neutral. We stay and defend!
JACK: Oh, that’s bullshit!
CATHERINE: Language!
KENNETH: So, how do we want to do this?
ALICE: Ooh! Ooh! Let me fight him!
KENNETH: Alright, cool, Alice is on front lines.
CATHERINE: Now, wait just a moment! Didn’t Alexis appoint me to handle these sorts of problems?
KENNETH: Yep, you’re right. How do you suggest we handle this?
CATHERINE: Hmmm… Well, a vote is a vote, even if issued without my permission. We will stay. Jack has his greatest effect when far away, but he’ll need many arrows to stay effective for long. Alice, I’d like you to forge as many as you can in the meantime.
ALICE: You got it, chief!
CATHERINE: I’m also told that bludgeoning tools have far greater effect through armor than bladed weapons. Alice, we’ll want your smithing hammer on the front lines.
ALICE: Yes!
CATHERINE: I know how to make antibiotics, as well as masks to protect everyone from his foam. I will not be an effective healer if I am unconscious or aggressive, so I will stay inside. Come to me if you are infected.
JACK: If that’s an option, can I be on the roof?
CATHERINE: If you believe that will help.
JOSEPH: I just thought of an idea.
CATHERINE: Alright.
JOSEPH: I have some extra food that I can use as bait.
CATHERINE: Great! Why don’t you and Jack set up traps for the zombie? We’ll see if he falls for it, and then stay out of infection range, unless he escapes.
ADAM: Is there anything I can do?
CATHERINE: Hmmm… Perhaps you and Kenneth should build a fence. That should give Jack more opportunity to strike before there is risk of hitting anyone else.
ADAM: And when the battle starts?
CATHERINE: Alice is our strongest fighter. You, Joseph, and Kenneth should stay close behind her until needed.
ALICE: Also, Kenny, use the back end of your axe. Joe and Adam, aim for the head.
KENNETH: Okay.
JOSEPH: Got it!
ADAM: Yep.
ALICE: Anything else, boss?
CATHERINE: No, I believe that is all. Proceed.

[ID. Comic
Panel 1: A judge stands at a podium and says “In conclusion, from the evidence gathered…”
Panel 2: Victor Frankenstein and his monster stand at their own podiums, sweating nervously. Victor’s lawyer is Igor while the creature’s is a werewolf. The judge continues: “The creature created by Mr. Frankenstein…”
Panel 3: The judge continues: “IS legally his son and entitled to his surname, will, land, and Christmas gatherings.” Victor slams his head on the podium in defeat while Igor apologizes. The monster celebrates by punching the hair off of the werewolf.
Panel 4: The judge says “Congratulations, Mr. Frankenstein,” and the monster says “Oho, please, call me Adam.”
Panel 5: Adam continues: “Mr. Frankenstein was my father’s name!” Victor throws Igor through a window. The werewolf looks at his smooth skin and whispers “I’m cured.”
End ID]
I will continue to call The Creature “Frankenstein” and no force in Heaven or Earth will impede that.
