Sex & Shenanigans

Yes.

They also kill the zombies, who only melt the lead!

You'll have to get to know @Amanda330 , she'll be strategizing how to out fix the zombies & rival groups who want our supplies. Her code name shall be Switchblade, because she's gorgeous, which means folks often under estimate just how clever she is.

Ohhhh I love code names! I think I’d be Bacon.

I am going with "the penetrator"

 

[Ricardus]

True, but the kick back is a bitch and accuracy is non-existent. I'll keep my rifle & scope.

Is the recoil that bad? I've only fired one once, I think, but my memory is that the kick was less than that of the early generations of rifles that succeeded them, which we were also offered for comparison.

Anyway, my only point was that in our hypothetical apocalypse, advanced weapons are only superior as long as you're able to continue using them. I'm not suggesting you start switching to muskets now

Because you’ll penetrate the zombie nests? How noble!

This reminds me of the scene in jumanji where the girl must kung fu dance and flirt with the enemy in order to pass the level....

Also one of the villains names was switchblade

He had the other ones about Nantucket going back in time, and another about people taking over a pre colonial California…all vaguely interesting concepts but yeah he just seems off to me

Yeah, those were pretty weird, on a lot of levels. Honestly, I read the first three books in the Embervers since they took place in the Willamette Valley. A Meeting at Corvallis is what caught my eye. I read a few of the later ones, a generation on, but they tried to explain The Change (the alteration in physics) and it was...unsatisfying. But for an apocalypse, then post-apocalypse series, the first three aren't horrible, if occasionally goofy.

Well, thank you. I'm sure I'd be delighted to get to know her, if she'd care to.

I hope I'm immune to the tendency you mention, though as you say, it is apparently common. Beauty and intelligence have never struck me as negatively correlated; I'm not sure why other people think they are.

Already got the t-shirt order in

I love you.

 

[UnquietDreams]

I will not be showing up to the apocalypse compound with a musket.

Baker Rifle?

Sorry, I am a Sharpe fan...

She shall wear an eye patch. Not because she needs to, but because it looks badass. And she will switch it from eye to eye to confuse people.

I shall most certainly not be doing that.

Depth perception sorta matters. Plus, your eyes are so beautifully distracting they’d just be looking at them and never see the shiv!

 

[__Nathan1968]

Shit. Spent the afternoon at a brewery. Did I miss the apocalypse again?

Yeah, is your code name gonna be BBQ?

 

[Ricardus]

On the whole, I feel this bears out your reputation for sagacity.

 

[Amanda330]

On the whole, I feel this bears out your reputation for sagacity.

Really, it's because I'm vain and feel like it would mess with my overall style.

But, also, depth perception while being stabby is important.

I can take them out. Low and slow.

That is the tempo? Wait…no…that’s not quite it

Lol, be a fly on the wall when in my next meeting when the old guys assume I'm the secretary and ask me to get coffee, or second guess every word I say until a guy validates it. Incredibly common is an understatement

…unless she was wearing one of those “Hey! My boobs are down here!” V-neck tees someone posted a while back

Stabby-via-projectiles...even more so.

But both are valid concerns. If you're going to be taken seriously as a ruthless assassin of the undead, you can't adopt absurd and incongruous trademarks, or people will think you're trying too hard.

If you are an assassin of the undead, you are, by definition, already trying to hard.

Do you think that would be better if you weren't strikingly attractive, though, or is it simply because you're a woman?
