WHAT || The Knights investigate some strange events  around a farmhouse in Illinois
WHERE || Metropolis Kansas
WHEN || April 20th, 2015

The route to the Moore residence is a secluded, gavel-topped county road that meanders through fields and farmland.  The roiling stormclouds and lack of city lights make the countryside seem unusually dark and forbidding.  A battered mailbox on the right side of the road indicates the Moore farm, and a pothole-filled drive leads up to the farmhouse.  On the right side of the long driveway, nestled among the snow, lies what appears to be a small family graveyard.

Beside the dilapidated house, stands a large German Shepard tethered on a leash, barking furiously as they pull up.  An older man stands on the porch looking highly displeased.  The man says something to the dog, but the barking continues unabated.

"You can just turn right around and head back the way you came," he yells from the porch.

Uh. Well, there's some people in the freakin' cornfield, but I think they ate the dog.

[...

[spellfile]

Define people.

[beatupgrass]

Bald-bodied idiots. All you humies look the same to me. [DEADPAN.] These ones walk funny. Kinda shambley. And they're probably rippin' apart that old dude right now, so now would be a good time for some back-up.

[Calm the sass, Rocket.]

[spellfile]

Did you say ripping apart? [ he pulls his mouth away from the phone to mutter: ] Jesus H. Christ. It's zombies. Of course it's zombies.

[beatupgrass]

All's I know is there's a lot of screamin' and I don't know a whole lot about human behavior, but bitin' people's legs probably ain't part of it.

Get somewhere safe and hide there til we show up. Don't try to play hero.

[beatupgrass]

Hah. Me. Play the hero. That's a good one.

[Awkward... laughter.

HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS STUFF OR HE PROBABLY WOULD BE.]
