"I figured that, and yes, I've used the formula before." Sarah paused. "And no, I've not asked that to him yet. I figured I would cross that bridge when we came there."

Zero walks over to the door, opens it, looks inside, closes it. "Empty."
After thinking a moment, he keeps talking. "You know what? We're not going to be able to tell which room is mine and I don't think randomly barging into everyone's room while we're looking for it is the nicest thing to do. How 'bout I just use this one for a while and tomorrow I'll see if anyone else knows which was mine?"
"Oh, and thanks for the thought."

Agate straightened in the doorway, his arms still crossed over his chest. "Well, the best way you'll find to check is probably to ask. I doubt he'd appreciate someone sneaking up on him whatever you plan on doing--you know how jittery he is--was."
He tilted his head to look back into the room for a moment. Returning his attention to the girl, he asked, "Is there anything else you need? I can leave a message for Kay if you want me to."

"Nah, you got all my awnsers for me. Oh, and Agate," Sarah couldn't help adding as she walked away, "Have fun with Kay, k?"

Drake entered the room and gave it a quick survey.
"You make a good point Zero.This room is as good as any of the others.One of the advantages of staying in an hotel I guess, every room has a bed"
Drake laughed slightly and walked over to one of the rooms windows.The room had had pretty good view of the surrounding area.
"Right...guess i'll leave you be.Try and get some sleep if you can."
Drake began to leave the room,but suddenly stopped and turned around again.
"Actually,if you can't remember what life in Maltons like...you had better learn this now"
Drake reached into his coat and pulled out one of his spare pistols and handed into to Zero,along with one clip of ammo.
"When you go to sleep,keep this close by...if you don't you could regret it.Also...its not only those creatures you have to watch out for.Not all surviors are as...friendly as us.Sleep well"
Drake turned and began to exit the room.

((XD Creepy, Drake! Way to get him neurotic again! X33))
Agate made a face at the kid as she turned to depart. The little punk had attitude. Normally he didn't mind attitude but when it mixed with peoples progressing through puberty or earlier, it made him want to strangle things. (He'd found it ironic, more then once, that though he hated kids with a passion, his safehouse was crawling with them.)
"Rainbow sparkles," he called after her, then slammed the door. "Little b*tch," he muttered as he headed back to bed. He'd like to see how her attitude drained away when she was puking up her guts every morning and afternoon and went into insane tempertantrums, and all of the other unpleasant stuff that he had to help Kay through right now. Then again, he thought better of it. He wouldn't want to wish these kinds of problems on any other woman in Malton, no matter how obnoxious or rude she might be.
'Have fun' indeed. Slipping quietly onto the bed to rest a hand against Kay's forehead for a moment, he carefully slid under the sheets to return to his hot-water-bottle-alike duty. He couldn't sleep, but that didn't mean that he couldn't lay quietly and think.
A serum to rejuvinate one's memories... from Before? He doubted the serum would repair brain-rot, but the possibilities... what if he could suddenly remember who he'd been before all of this? Would he want that? Would he be able to stand life in Malton, knowing with the power of memory just what it was lacking? It was certainly a lot to think about, and enough to keep him occupied for a while.

"Wait, what?" Zero was slightly shocked, to say the least. Left standing there with a gun he wasn't even sure how to use, Zero could only gape at Drake's back. Part of him was a little pissed. Just about to get some nice rest, lie down for a while, and then Drake has to say something like that. Great.
The rest of him needed to know just what was going on, and that was more important by far. Zero had seen strange things outside and since he wouldn't be getting any sleep now, an explanation would be nice. Apprehension and just a touch of fear made a nice little knot in Zero's stomach as he asked "Creatures? What happened to this place?"

"He means zombies," Sarah said, turning into the doorframe at that moment. Her black trenchcoat seem to billow around her as she slipped the syringe into her pocket. She didn't want to spook him any more then she needs to. "And that is probably the reason why your memory has gone caput."

((Hee hee, sorry, couldn't resist))
Mock had hung back in the lobby after everyone had went their ways, and was stretched out on the couch scratching away at his sketchbook. He was gonna try not to let this bring him down too hard, obviously this was going to be tough, but he felt like they had a handle on it. K had done a good job, Drake had done a good job. He was glad they'd agreed with his idea to give Zero a little adjustment time before they broke the big zombie news to him.
He casually scrawled the outline of Zero's face a few times, adding loose facial features in a couple off-the-top attempts. yeah, Zero was gonna be cool, he was a survivor. As long as they let him settle in a bit before they told him anything drastic, he was gonna be just fine.

"Wait a second,what do you mean what's happened to this place,I mean...."
Zero had lost his memory,fair enough,but surely one of the first things the others had told him was that in was in a hellhole city of the dead.
However,as Drake thought about this,he realized that they probably had thought it best to wait until they broke the news to him.The kid had been in such a state after all.
"Great" Drake thought "Smart idea Drake,freak the kid out of his bloody mind"
He certainly had not meant to.If a bunch of the undead broke in during the night,Zero would need something to protect himself with.
Zero looked like he wanted answers now.Was it wise to tell him.On one hand,the boy was freaked up now,and surely he had to know the truth at some point,and in Drake opinion the sooner the better.But then again...
Before Drake could say anything else Sara appeared in the doorway and basically announced that zombies where about. Sara seemed like a nice girl,in fact Drake often felt that it was not right having someone that young in a situation like this.However he was slightly annoyed that she had barged into this conversation without so much as a knock.However he did not think that that was important right now.
"Zero,Sorry to freak you out....i did'nt...listen there our things you need to know,but maybe its best we wait till morning.Don't you agree Sara?"

Sarah granced at Drake and said rather tentatively, "Uh, sure..." When they had walked itno the hall, Sarah said, "I came in at the wrong time, right?"

"Well yeah...but its okay,my fault really.Although in the future don't skulk about and suddenly appear.Its not a good habit to pick up."
"Anyway...what are you doing up and about? Its getting pretty late."

"To put it mildly, I think Zero has brain rot, and I was gonna ask permision to check my theory."

Brain rot.Drake had heard of it.Many survivors who had died and come back again too many times would eventually begin to suffer from almost permanent brain damage,or at least this was what Drake had heard.It did not surprise him.His own mind had changed after his death experiences,and yet he knew he had not died as many times as Zero.
"Okay...makes sense,although how exactly do you plan to test this theory of yours out?"

Shocked into silence, Zero simply watched as Drake and Sarah retreated to the safety of the hallway. These people were insane, and it was looking like he'd be better off in the street. Zero quickly looked for an exit. The window was boarded up, and the couch and dresser were dragged in front of it to help keep it shut. He'd need something to pry those boards off, or chop them up...
Slowly he looked down to a loop of wire hanging off the right side of his belt. For a few seconds he stared at it, something should've been hanging there...
Shaking off that d*mn 'something is missing' feeling, he tried to think of anything he'd seen that could substitute for a crowbar. Closest thing he could find was a plastic room service tray; Not a chance. So that left the entrance and the door to the adjoining room. He could hear voices somewhat clearly through the former, good old hotel doors, and the latter was locked. Nothing left but to wait and listen.
"Okay... makes sense, although how exactly do you plan to test this theory of yours out?"
Hmm...
With nothing else to do, he remembered the pistol and clip he was holding. Better to wait and load it later, the sound might alert the people in the hall.
