I dream of zombies
2 min read
Like, a lot. Usually it's p typical. Something happens, outbreak begins or escapes containment, and I kill my way through the hordes like a badass while resisting infection through force of will cuz I'm a lucid dreamer and it rocks. Last night's was fun, though, so I thought I might sum it up.
Apparently there was a new narcotic floating around and everyone but me and some friends decided to get together to do it. There were people having a frickin' picnic doing this drug. It was apparently a very powerful high, if the lack of response and vacant stares were anything to go by. The high could last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, but once the high was over, they would collapse, vomit some black shit, and appear to die. Of course, then they'd start to rise.
But it wasn't a virus. It was a parasite. The drug was just the means to release it into the public. After the initial wave was spread via narcotic, the dream had pretty standard zombie rules. You get bit, you get infected. But apparently there were some Buddhist monks who could force the parasite out of people and return them to normal? That part was pretty weird. I'm not sure why specifically Buddhism. I woke up before I could figure out if something was up with that.
They were close to 28 days later zombies in that they didn't really die and retained their ability to move full tilt. Some of em could even parkour to follow you over a rooftop to get at ya.

I dunno. Just thought it was interesting.

Not sure if anyone really cares, but since some people have actually had an interest in them, I wanted to ask if anyone would like to see more pre-designed Jelly Core/Jellybat adopts.
Secondly, I wanted to address the Umbral Worms and "Twisted Jelly Core".
Umbral worms are a parasitic organism that infects a vulnerable Jelly Core, modifying the host to suit its needs.
Umbral worms aren't listed on the trait sheet. In fact, I don't really plan to make infection a publicly available trait.
I was planning to make it so that you can acquire an infected Jelly Core/Bat in two different ways: pre-made adopts, and Twisted Design-Your-Own slots. Any opinions on this are welcome.
The Design-Your-Own slots would work a lot like a MYO, (which you can make anytime, since Jellybats are a semi-open species), except that having a Twisted slot would enable you to do pretty much whatever you wanted with the design. You could make up your own unique traits and work outside the basic anatomy of a Jellybat. As long as the resulting Jellybat has at least three toes and at least three claws on it's main pair of hands, anything is on the table. If you wanted to give it a beastly mane of dense, hairlike jelly instead of a normal neck ring, or give it blades for arms, ect, you could do whatever you liked with it. Maybe it spits acid, runs on all fours, or has organs floating inside of it. Perhaps it has a flaming head, or has an elongated, snakelike body. Who knows?

Comic dialoge

I dunno. Just some dialog for a potential short comic I will probably never make because I suck. 
Anyone interested in putting it to use is more than welcome to.

[Obnoxious Crewmember] Like... woo-hoo! We totally won! We rock!
[Surviving Crewmember] *between pants* No. No we did not. Not by any stretch of the term.
[Obnoxious Crewmember] Wait... so... we didn't win?
[Surviving Crewmember] No. We were forced to beat a tactical retreat with our tachyon trails between our legs.
[Obnoxious Crewmember] But... we got the thing. Doesn't that mean we win?
[Surviving Crewmember] "We" didn't get the thing. The Captain got the thing. And you... you blew him up.
[Obnoxious Crewmember] ...Oh.
*pregnant pause*
[Obnoxious Crewmember] Does that mean we can go get tacos?
[Surviving Crewmember] *eye twitches heavily, but sweet smile* Nope. *draws pistol, shooting Obnoxious Crewmember in the face point blank* Just me.

Whelp.... I got a Cintiq. And now ima play with it. I'm gonna be playing around quite a bit trying to get a handle on my new tools and software. So anyone who'd like this for their CCCat, this was literally the first thing I drew. No real limit to amount or cccat, but I'll kind of be picking and choosing which to do based on what I wanna practice. So yup.
