In episode 1 our gang of Black Friday shoppers wake up late to the Sunrise Mall's opening for the holiday and rush to the shopping center in hopes the deals are still available for the various items on their Christmas lists. When they arrive, though, they are met with a very different problem: an outbreak has left the mall completely overrun by ZOMBIES! Now trapped inside, our team of survivors will have to do everything they can in order to stay alive until rescue can come. Will they make it? Or be eaten alive by the walking dead?

>> Skylar (00:05):
It's Thanksgiving 2016 and there is a
massive crowd of people outside the Sunrise
Mall. The minute hand on Michael's Chicago
Cubs World Series promotional watch slowly
ticks towards 6pm as his heart begins
to race.
The sound of the crowd begins to rise from a murmur
(00:26):
to a roar. Michael gets prodded by a series of
elbow jabs as people begin to rear in excitement
trying to push themselves ever closer to the door.
Michael can feel his heart begin to beat
faster and faster as the pushing and
shoving start to get more and more aggressive. He
looks around him to see the faces of those crowding him into the
(00:47):
glass doors of the shopping center. People snarl
with gritted teeth and squeeze their clenched
fists chomping at the bit to get inside.
The moment the second hand touches the 12 there's a
loud buzz as the doors ret
automatically and the horde of bodies floods
into the mall. Michael hears someone in the crowd scream
(01:09):
out above the voices.
>> Speaker B (01:11):
War Harambe.
>> Skylar (01:12):
Before he is pushed along the crowd, unable to
control his movement or speed. As the mass of
bodies presses him in through the entrance.
He turns for a moment to see the consequences of going
against the flow as an elderly woman trying to get
into one of the nearby stores is knocked to the ground.
A heavy set man takes a forceful footfall in
the woman's direction but Michael is pushed out of sight
(01:35):
sight, unable to see the horrific result of the
accident. Pushed further into the mall trying to
maintain speed with the crowd. Michael can hear the
shouts and screams of the hyperactive customers around
him. Glimpsing at storefronts with people fighting over
whatever they came to get. Whether it be for themselves
or it's that perfect gift for their loved one. This
isn't the first time Michael has been out during this commerce
(01:58):
driven holiday, but the screams and shouts certainly
sound more aggressive and violent than he's used to. Maybe
it's due to the economic downturn or the intense
political riots rivalry that's recently come to a head. But
Michael has no time to process any further as
he manages to take the necessary turn to get to the shop
he's been aiming for. Game Go to get to the
(02:18):
brand new PS4 Slim. Michael has been desperate
to play the PS4 for the last three years and
he finally managed to save up enough to get one. While it's
on this especially hefty sale this year.
Of course, Michael isn't the only one at Game
Go looking to get a hold of this deal. As a handful of others
flood into the store around him, he spots the display.
(02:39):
A pyramid of boxed consoles that Nathan Drake
himself might explore, seeking the treasures within.
Somewhat ironic to the fact that the console comes with a
digital copy of the recent Uncharted 4 game.
He beams with excitement as his hands take
hold of a box. He did it. He finally
did it. He was so excited thinking of the games
(02:59):
he'd finally get to play alongside with his friends
online. As he pulls back the box, a
face reveals itself. A face that rocks
Michael's very soul. The the collar of the
black game goat Polo is lifted,
bringing his attention first to the employee's neck
which leans to the left, beginning
to cave in where a massive wound is gaping and
(03:22):
dripping a mixture of blood and black ooze. terrified,
he continues lifting his gaze to the mouth of this
individual, also smeared with blood and ooze,
which drips menacingly from her gaping teeth
bared maw. Her nose is as crooked
as her neck, as if being bashed in by something
and her eyes, yellowed by some mysterious
(03:42):
sickness. Her pupils dilate as she
focuses on him. Michael lets out a shriek as
the monster lunges over the stack of remaining
consoles towards him.
The group of you awake to fly
by Steve Azar as the end credits of Paul
(04:02):
blart mall cop 2 scroll across the black
screen, you look around the room to see your
friends who are also awakening from their boredom
induced nap. Remembering little about the
movie past the first act,
you recall your plan for tonight.
Having enjoyed a delicious and filling Thanksgiving lunch
(04:22):
with your respective families, you all gathered
together at Dave's house,
prepared to go Black Friday shopping. But
as you look at your phones, you realize it's
already 6:30pm and the deal
started at 6. You leap to your
feet. What are you guys doing? What's the
plan?
>> Quinn (04:42):
We gotta go, we gotta go. I gotta get myself that PS4. So we
gotta go now. Let's go, let's go, let's
go.
>> Dave (04:50):
Xbox is way better, Quinn.
>> Quinn (04:52):
Okay, well I get an Xbox. Okay, I'll get whatever's left at this
point. We gotta go. How could we? It's 6:30. What
were we doing?
>> Dave (04:58):
How can we sit 30. Holy.
>> Quinn (05:01):
How can we sit through this? How could we?
Oh no. They're all gonna be gone. They're
all gonna be gone. We've gotta go now.
>> Dave (05:10):
All right, but let me grab my popcorn. I still had some
left.
>> Quinn (05:14):
Yeah, that's a fair point.
>> Skylar (05:16):
You do have a bowl of unfinished popcorn sitting
by your hand. What are you gonna put it in
it's pockets?
>> Dave (05:22):
My hand?
>> Skylar (05:24):
No, you're just like grabbing a handful.
>> Quinn (05:25):
To Run out the door, put some popcorn in your
pockets. It's gonna be a long night. We might need.
>> Dave (05:30):
No, I've done this. you just. You pinch the top of the
bucket and you.
>> Skylar (05:35):
Oh, it's like one of those ones that you like. You actually put on the
stove. Or.
>> Quinn (05:38):
No.
>> Skylar (05:38):
Oh, oh, the. But, oh, wait, hold on, hold on. You guys are at
a house. Just to clarify, I was definitely picturing we were
at the movies,
and you all fell asleep in the movie theater,
scratching.
>> Quinn (05:52):
Do you got any, like, sandwich bags?
>> Dave (05:56):
Oh, yeah, I gotta. I, grab a gallon Ziploc
bag and pour it into that.
>> Quinn (06:01):
That might be a little big, don't you think?
>> Dave (06:04):
I apparently fell asleep right before.
Only a couple.
>> Skylar (06:08):
Almost nothing.
>> Quinn (06:10):
All right, well, hey, we might need it later. I mean,
you never know.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (06:14):
All right, Quinn, you're driving.
>> Quinn (06:16):
I'm always the one driving.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (06:18):
If anyone can navigate these hordes of people, it's
you.
>> Quinn (06:21):
That is true.
>> Skylar (06:22):
That's true.
>> Quinn (06:22):
All right, let's hop in the, Hop in the Monte Carlo. Let's
go.
>> Skylar (06:26):
I was going to say I'm trying to remember what it was.
>> Quinn (06:28):
I think it was the Monte Carlo.
>> Skylar (06:29):
I think you're right. All right, so you all get into Quinn's
Chevy Monte car. Do you know what
year? I don't know.
>> Quinn (06:36):
It would have been like, a 2003 Monte Carlo.
>> Skylar (06:38):
2003 Monte Carlo. clambering, past
various, ah, empty Mountain Dews from a
variety of different restaurants, Baja Blast or
otherwise. as you guys all
pile either into the front or back seats and
head off towards the Sunrise Mall.
as you guys approach the Sunrise Mall, you guys
have obviously a bit of a difficult time finding
(07:01):
park. Hey.
>> Quinn (07:02):
Oh, there's a spot over there. There's a spot over there.
Someone's back now. Someone's back now. They're over there. Here. Nick, get out
of the car and go stand in that spot over there. Go
stand.
>> Dave (07:13):
There's one up on the right.
>> Skylar (07:15):
Just.
>> Quinn (07:15):
That's the fire lane.
>> Dave (07:17):
Oh, wait, no. There's a small car. Dang it.
>> Skylar (07:20):
It's a classic. Ah, it's a smart car.
>> Quinn (07:22):
That's smart car.
>> Skylar (07:24):
Freaking smart car.
>> Quinn (07:25):
Where are we gonna park? All the deals are gonna be
gone.
>> Skylar (07:29):
as you guys, kind of just start moving towards
the X. Or not the X. the far end of
the parking lot. There's a couple of
spots. but, I mean, when I say far end of the parking lot,
we're talking, like, the boonies.
>> Quinn (07:43):
I guess we're gonna have to park out here. Let's get inside. We're
already. Oh, we're already so late. All the deals are gonna be
gone.
>> Dave (07:49):
Nobody even uses this entrance.
>> Skylar (07:54):
actually, so the entrance closest to you, I
was going to put you guys by the movie theater entrance. So kind of
that main entrance. Ish area. So you guys make your
way across the long parking lot. Kind of surprised that
you're not seeing too many people. But assuming that maybe the
fighting or whatever the case going on inside the
mall is still taking up most people's
(08:14):
time. I mean, we all know for those of us that have gone Black Friday
shopping before, even though people get
inside and grab their deals first,
it's the line at the end when you have to check out
that really sucks. And it gets long so
fast. So, you just kind of assume maybe that's the
case. Whatever, the case. You guys start making your way
towards the entrance of the mall, seeing the big
(08:36):
sign for the silver screen movie
theater, which is right nearby the
entrance. As you all laugh and joke and make your
way through the large windowed doors which easily open
before you, and you take your first steps into the shopping mall all.
You're a bit surprised, not seeing any crowds running around from
shop to shop, grabbing items on their
lists. But you all have a goal in
(08:58):
mind, and that is to get a special gift
or three special gifts for some
special person. Could be yourself. It could be
somebody else, family member, friend.
What is it that you are here to make sure you get? I know a couple
of you have mentioned game consoles for yourselves.
but what, what are the three items that are kind of on your
(09:18):
list that you hope you don't have to leave
this mall without getting?
>> Quinn (09:23):
Well, you know, guys, at this point, the,
the. All the deals are gone and we might. I mean,
we just watched it. We might as well go see Mona. Yeah, I want to
go see Mona.
>> Skylar (09:33):
Moana.
>> Quinn (09:33):
Moana. Whatever. I don't know. It's a new Disney movie.
It's got the rock in it. You
guys just want to go see the movie or.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (09:42):
We couldn't even make it through the last movie. What do you. What makes you
think we can make it through this movie without falling asleep?
>> Dave (09:47):
Well, my family's gonna see that later today.
>> Skylar (09:50):
Unlike actual Friday.
That is a good.
>> Quinn (09:55):
Have you guys seen Dr. Strange? I know it's been out since
October, since last month, but have you guys seen that?
>> Dave (10:01):
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
>> Quinn (10:02):
Oh, okay.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:03):
I guess I gotta get some Christmas shopping done.
>> Quinn (10:06):
I just feel like all the deals are. We Gone. I guess we'll just.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
Where are we heading first?
>> Skylar (10:13):
Well, what's out of curiosity, fatty Lumpkins, what is
on your Christmas list? What are three items? Key
items. The big ones.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:20):
So in the Lumpkin household.
>> Skylar (10:22):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:25):
We always do a grab bag, which are just
the little 5, 10,
$15 gifts and you just kind of put them in at random
and you go for them through a
matter of dice and drawing of numbers.
My goal this year is to have the most coveted gift. So we
are hightailing it to Yankee Candle to get us a three
(10:45):
wick candle.
>> Dave (10:48):
Wood wick.
>> Skylar (10:49):
Wood wick.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:51):
All right, so you guys depend what the sale is. I saw it on the
ads. They got Yankee candles.
>> Skylar (10:56):
That's right.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:56):
They get one free.
>> Skylar (10:59):
let's, let's call it this, the
Stanky Candle.
And that's going to be our fictional version of that. The
Stanky Candle. I like it. fantastic.
So, just for those listening a little bit out of game real quick,
I have not filled in the entire map that I put together
for this mall. So as you guys kind of come up
(11:21):
with ideas and suggestions, I'm going to add
stores to the mall along the way to give you guys
some just kind of entertaining, goofy stuff. So, yeah.
Anyways, so okay, that's one thing that you have on
your list. what are two more? Do you. When you
said grab egg, is it like individual items or
do you guys do like little package?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (11:39):
Bring a group of three items.
And my strategy is I always bring items that
I want. So I would like to buy a
Yankee Candle so that I can disguise the foul smelling that
I get when I cook. So that's
why I'm in it for the Yankee Candle.
>> Skylar (11:55):
All right, sounds good.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (11:57):
But some of the other things that I'm looking for is
always in, always got to get the next latest
and greatest Apple products since.
>> Skylar (12:05):
Oh, all right.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:06):
Bound to run dead by the year
after.
>> Skylar (12:09):
Okay, babble.
>> Dave (12:11):
After we go to Stanky, can we, stop by
the sports store? I want to get your opinion on
some Frisbee golf discs.
I want to get one for.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:22):
My brother looking for a overstable
or understable disc.
>> Dave (12:27):
I've heard there's something called like an S
curve. So whatever.
It would give you one of those.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:35):
No, you're thinking bell curve. That's in finance.
>> Dave (12:38):
Oh, statistics. Yeah.
>> Quinn (12:41):
Well, we're done there. I gotta go get one of
those new, PS4 Slim. I gotta get one.
>> Skylar (12:48):
Is it.
>> Quinn (12:49):
This is for me.
This is for me.
>> Dave (12:53):
Maybe they'll have rain checks. You never know.
>> Skylar (12:55):
That's also true.
>> Dave (12:56):
They do know sometimes, that Xbox
One S, they got the new, Battlefield one.
I've been really looking forward to that.
>> Quinn (13:06):
hopefully they got some left.
>> Skylar (13:08):
All right, so currently I have, maybe, if
anything, Quinn, give me one more item that you're
after.
>> Quinn (13:14):
One more item that I'm after?
>> Skylar (13:16):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (13:17):
while we're in the sports story. You know, I really do. You know, the Cubs
just won a World Series. I really could use a new Cubs hat.
>> Skylar (13:23):
Oh, okay. Awesome. I like that. perfect.
So for the items that you, guys are after, I
have. Nick is going for a stanky candle
and, the newest Bapple product.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (13:34):
That is correct. I thought we call them
pear products, but Bapple pair.
>> Skylar (13:39):
Yeah, I don't know. I just. Whatever
comes to me. Dave is going for a
Frisbee golf disc and an Xbox One
S, and Quinn is going for a PS4
slim and a Cubs hat.
>> Dave (13:53):
Oh, I got another one, too.
>> Skylar (13:55):
Oh, yeah, go for it. Oh.
>> Dave (13:56):
So this one, honestly, we can probably hit
this one last. I don't think anybody's going to
be swamp in the kitchen goods
store or. I don't even know where to
find. My grandma could really use an
apple slicer.
You know, one of those ones you pressed out
(14:17):
on top.
>> Skylar (14:17):
This just the simplest concept. Apple
slicer. They're kind of nice, though,
all things considered.
>> Dave (14:24):
They do be kind of nice.
>> Skylar (14:25):
Yeah. Awesome. All right, well, Dave has a bonus one he
really needs. and if you guys think of a third, the other two of you. If you
guys think of a third item, let me know. So, as you guys
are kind of walking down this. This main corridor of the
mall that leads kind of deeper into the rest of the mall.
Suddenly a noise rises up above
your jests and chuckles over the
(14:45):
echoing steps of your feet against the tiled
floor, over the Christmas jingles that ring
through the halls. A, groan. And then
another. Each one continues after the
other to create a continuing cacophony of
moaning. You all turn to look
back towards the doors that you just came through.
(15:05):
Behind you is an entire
horde of zombies, that seem to be flooding
from the stores. Brow and Spa
Boutique, the movie theater, the small
arcade. Comes a flood of various
zombies. All these different shoppers with
these horrific wounds across their face, blood
and ooze dripping from them, carrying
(15:28):
items. Some of them. Some of them just carrying
bags, purses,
backpacks. And they all are
glaring directly at each of you, I need
each of you to roll me a
fear check.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (15:44):
How do we do that?
>> Skylar (15:45):
Yes, master, I will.
Okay, so a fear test is going to be
rolling a your D10 and then adding
your willpower, your character's
willpower. And then if you did
have a relevant, you know, quality
or something along those lines that you feel would be
relevant in this situation. You can also add that.
(16:07):
I don't know if any one of you necessarily has
anything that I feel like would probably
apply in this situation. Unless you want to make.
Oh, all right.
>> Dave (16:17):
Fast reaction time gives you
plus one will resisting fear.
>> Skylar (16:22):
Okay, perfect.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (16:24):
What about the ability to react to a creeper in
Minecraft or even a
zombie in Minecraft?
>> Skylar (16:32):
There is a very literal zombie in Minecraft.
I think if anything, maybe that'll come up in a different situation.
But to avoid the fear of it, I'm not sure if that's
necessary.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (16:41):
That is fair.
>> Skylar (16:42):
quite where we're looking. But whatever the case, so each
of you rolls the D10, adds your willpower,
and Dave, you can also add, your fast
reaction time.
>> Quinn (16:54):
Shoot.
>> Dave (16:55):
Not fast enough.
>> Speaker B (16:56):
Not fast.
>> Quinn (16:57):
I rolled a tank.
>> Skylar (16:58):
Nice. Okay, so you succeed, you don't feel
bogged down by any fear necessarily in this situation.
Obviously you're scared at what's happening, but it
doesn't cause you to m. Falter at all.
>> Quinn (17:09):
I can alter.
>> Skylar (17:10):
I cannot.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (17:11):
All right, Daddy rolled a six plus his
willpower of two for a grand total
of eight.
>> Dave (17:18):
Okay, I got a
two plus one plus one.
>> Skylar (17:23):
So a four. A four.
>> Quinn (17:25):
Oof.
>> Skylar (17:25):
Okay, so to succeed you need a nine. So Dave, you
failed, by five.
And Fatty, you failed by one.
So as these zombies are starting to move towards you,
you guys, Quinn, you, You feel
concerned obviously about your guys safety, but, you also
feel alert. You feel that. okay,
(17:45):
what's. I. I'm looking at the situation
and we need to get out of here. you're thinking clearly.
>> Quinn (17:51):
Guys, guys, wake up, wake up. We gotta go, we gotta go.
>> Dave (17:54):
This is the weirdest dream.
>> Skylar (17:56):
As you say, wake up, wake up. Dave
passes out, falls to the floor,
faints. fatty, you start to get
the shakes. your whole body just begins to kind of
shiver semi violently. You,
have a just, you know, in game, you know,
mechanics, you have a minus two penalty on like
(18:16):
everything, for two turns, which,
like six seconds a turn
technically. But a lot of this happens kind
of in game, so we'll take that as it
is. But, whatever the case, you guys both See, Dave just
pass out onto the floor, leaving himself obviously
vulnerable. What are you guys doing?
>> Quinn (18:35):
Wake up. Drag him in the movie theater. Nobody goes
here.
>> Skylar (18:39):
The zombies are coming out of.
>> Quinn (18:41):
Literally nobody goes there, though.
>> Skylar (18:44):
There's employees.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:45):
Quick, where should we take them? Should we go to, like, a, where can we best
barricade ourselves? A hardware store. Where are the people gonna
be going?
>> Quinn (18:53):
Well, where do people. Where do people.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:55):
Ourselves. Up and mounted defense.
>> Quinn (18:57):
Where do people not go?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:59):
The furniture store.
>> Quinn (19:01):
M. They had a big sale, though. They
had. They had beds by two
mattresses on.
>> Skylar (19:08):
Sale, like they do always.
>> Quinn (19:10):
The mattress sale is just too good to resist this year. I think that's a
bad idea.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:15):
I don't know. People don't go black.
>> Quinn (19:17):
We should go to Hot Topics.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:18):
There's.
>> Quinn (19:19):
Or we should go to the
goth topic.
>> Skylar (19:22):
Oh, I have that one, actually. It's called, Goth affair.
>> Quinn (19:25):
We should. We should. What about goth Affair? Oh, he goes in
there.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:29):
Except we won't be able to tell
who's looking at us through
goth painted makeup or as an actual
zombie. What about.
>> Quinn (19:39):
What about the sports store? I mean, at least they're gonna have
weapons.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:42):
Eh, that is an option.
>> Quinn (19:45):
How are we gonna get there, though?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:48):
We need to move because we got Dave over here
lying on the ground. Grab an arm and we'll pull. What's
closest?
>> Skylar (19:55):
yeah, closest to you at this immediate moment, there
is a T shirt store called Tees and
Jerseys. That.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (20:02):
That doesn't seem like that'd be helpful.
>> Quinn (20:04):
How many people are coming out of here?
>> Skylar (20:06):
you don't really see too many people coming out of this particular spot.
Most of them are coming out of the movie theater.
and like I said, there was a little arcade that, was
right across the hall from the movie theater. Somebody give me a
name for that arcade.
>> Dave (20:19):
Next level.
>> Skylar (20:21):
So you've got zombies coming out of the silver screen
movie theater. You got zombies coming out of the next level. And then
you guys are just past what's called the high brow,
which is kind of a spa. Get your nails
done, manicures, pedicures, get your brows,
obviously your eyebrows, whatever people do to their
eyebrows, shaved
(20:41):
completely off.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (20:43):
I'm very surprised.
>> Skylar (20:45):
Yes. and sure enough, there are a couple of zombies coming
out of the highbrow with their eyebrows completely shaved
off. But, whatever the case,
so you guys are just past that immediately.
to your. It'd be your left is the Pillow
palace, and then just behind that is the tees and
jerseys that I mentioned before.
>> Quinn (21:03):
Let's get to the teas and jerseys There doesn't look like anybody's in
there. Maybe we can pick them up. Can I try and attempt
to pick them up?
>> Skylar (21:10):
Sure, absolutely. do a check
for strength. So you're going to take strength. Plus if you
feel like you have a skill that is, relates
to anything, maybe physical
lifting, you have throwing, but I don't think that
applies.
>> Quinn (21:24):
Stacking pallets.
>> Skylar (21:26):
You did explicitly say pallet stacking.
I don't know if I would take a person. So wait a
minute, Wait a minute.
>> Quinn (21:35):
hang on. How many people are coming out of the
theater?
>> Skylar (21:40):
probably maybe like a dozen. I mean, I would say the
entire horde as it is is about a dozen.
>> Quinn (21:47):
I was thinking there's got to be a wheelchair somewhere.
>> Skylar (21:50):
Somewhere. There probably is a wheelchair
somewhere.
>> Quinn (21:53):
I know they got wheelchair. They got wheelchairs, like, in the middle.
In the front of malls. They got those wheelchairs you can, like,
rent.
>> Skylar (21:59):
Oh, sure. okay. Here's what I will
say. Yes, I'm glad you mentioned that. So, sure enough,
right nearby you there is that little cart
section. They have rentable kids
for a quarter.
>> Quinn (22:12):
Has anybody got a quarter on them?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (22:14):
I do.
>> Quinn (22:15):
Thank God. Grab him.
Grab Dave. Grab Dave.
>> Skylar (22:19):
you rush over, you put the quarter in, and a cart
is released for you to use.
>> Quinn (22:24):
Thank you. Have a great day. Oh, appreciate
that. Pick him up and put him in the
cart.
>> Skylar (22:30):
Okay. All right, Sounds good. I would say between the two of you, I won't
make you do, like, a strength check. I think you. I think between the two of you,
could lift the dude into the cart and then push him. Okay, so you
guys are now pushing Dave, in the cart, who is. Who is
currently unconscious, and you guys are headed where
that T shirt store.
>> Quinn (22:47):
Nobody was shopping at.
>> Skylar (22:48):
Ah, all right, Sounds good. Tees and
jerseys. You guys rush inside.
The doors are wide open.
>> Quinn (22:55):
Do they have the gate that comes down?
>> Skylar (22:57):
They do, but you have to
find the key that's in the store.
>> Quinn (23:04):
And where's the shopman guy in the store.
Nobody's in the store.
>> Skylar (23:07):
As you guys rush into the store, looking
desperately to try to get the thing that you. You reach up to bring
the gate down, and it's stuck because obviously, again, it needs.
It needs a key to unlock from the top and come
down. as you're doing this, one of you hears
out of the corner of your ear a moaning sound
from inside the store. It's just one.
(23:28):
but it does, since it's so close compared to the Rest of the
horde, especially now that you're in a store, it is somewhat
noticeable.
>> Quinn (23:35):
the hangers. What are the hangers made out of? Would they be metal hangers
anywhere? Sure.
>> Skylar (23:39):
Yeah. There's a lot of hangers in
here.
>> Quinn (23:42):
I'm gonna grab a metal hanger.
>> Skylar (23:44):
Okay.
>> Quinn (23:44):
I'm actually gonna grab a couple metal
hangers.
>> Skylar (23:48):
Dual wheeled metal hangers.
>> Quinn (23:51):
Right. flatten them out a little bit
like the ends.
>> Skylar (23:55):
Sure.
>> Quinn (23:55):
They're a little bit spiky. I don't know. That's the only thing I could think
of.
>> Skylar (23:58):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (24:00):
You know, because at this point, you don't know what you're going. I'm gonna do that.
And I'm gonna try. And I'm looking.
I don't see anybody in the room.
>> Skylar (24:08):
there's a lot of, you know,
displays of different shirts and stuff. So they're kind of like, coat
rack esque type things. So there's a
lot of hidden spaces around this store.
>> Quinn (24:20):
Is there any water bottles around?
>> Skylar (24:23):
Yes, I would say there's probably, like a cooler. Little.
>> Quinn (24:26):
They sell little.
>> Speaker B (24:27):
Yep.
>> Quinn (24:27):
Where they got some. I'm gonna go over to the
cooler. Say, we gotta find the key, Nick, see if it's
behind the register. I grab a bottle,
try and wake him up.
>> Skylar (24:38):
Gonna wake him up.
>> Quinn (24:39):
Awesome.
>> Skylar (24:39):
all right. A difficult constitution test. Okay. Is required to recover
consciousness. This can be attempted every minute or
whenever someone tries to stir the character. Okay, so,
Dave, you are going to be making a difficult constitution
check. So you're going to roll the D10 and you are going to
subtract, I'm going to say minus one, to
that roll.
>> Dave (24:58):
10.
>> Skylar (24:59):
10. Awesome. All right, Dave, as this water
splashes over you, you awaken.
you do take minus 16
endurance points because of how much this
affected you. Those can be recovered, of course, by arresting
over time or whatever the case. This water splashes over you,
and suddenly you awaken. You're, feeling a little bit of a cramp
coming in. Maybe, maybe, a charlie horse in your leg.
(25:22):
As you realize you are currently inside of a cart
and have been pushed into what seems to be a T shirt
shop.
>> Dave (25:29):
what's going on?
Hell, I'm stuck.
Why am I enlightening the queen?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (25:40):
And as mayor was all sold out.
>> Skylar (25:43):
As you struggle to get loose, a
figure comes around one of the shirt racks.
you see your friend Quinn over to the side, who
seems to be. He just poured the water on you and he seems to be
frantically, looking for something. You're not sure.
I Don't know what Fatty Lumpkins is doing at the
moment.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (26:01):
Fatty is intrigued by this moaning sound.
>> Skylar (26:03):
Oh, okay.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (26:04):
He is kind of perking his
ears up and listening for what he can
hear, see, and if he can
match the sound to a movement.
>> Skylar (26:15):
Okay, sounds good. Well, you absolutely are about to, because
as you stand there next to Dave, who is frantically trying to
get out of this, lightning McQueen cart
that he has kind of been jammed into, a
horrific, monstrous figure makes his way
around one of the shelves full of shirts and
out steps a zombified
(26:35):
tease and jerseys store
manager. And, he is wearing one of those, like, really
long T shirts that like, basically he. He wouldn't
even have to be wearing pants practically because the shirt goes
like that far down. It's just got some
stupid slogan on it that says,
I feel perky for some jerky.
>> Quinn (26:59):
And I feel perky for some jerky. Oh, this
is the store that doubles as a jerky sales.
>> Skylar (27:04):
They've got jerky coming out. They're selling jerky out the
back. they don't have a license to sell food.
They're doing it illegally. Whatever, the case, he starts to
shamble towards the two of you
specifically, what are you doing?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (27:19):
I notice Queen's weapon of choice and do
kind of scramble for my own makeshift weapon.
Just grabbing a couple of the jerseys off the
hangers and seeing if I too, can
manufacture a shank out of one of them.
>> Skylar (27:33):
Okay, sounds good.
>> Dave (27:35):
Do I notice the zombie or.
>> Quinn (27:37):
Oh, yeah.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (27:37):
I mean, he's.
>> Skylar (27:38):
He's pretty much beelining for you. He sees that you're kind of stuck
and he starts coming m.
>> Dave (27:47):
I try to grunt my way out of
this.
>> Skylar (27:50):
All right, I'm going to have you, make a.
Let's do strength to try to get yourself out. There's a part of
me that said, do I do willpower?
>> Dave (28:01):
Got an 8.
>> Skylar (28:02):
8 plus 3. Awesome. So you managed to pull
yourself out of the Lightning
McQueen as you scramble to
stand up off the floor. Fatty,
you have a hanger that you fashioned
into a shank. Awesome. Are you going to
lunge first or wait till he gets closer?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:22):
So the zombie is closest to me? Is that what I'm gathering?
>> Skylar (28:25):
I mean, you guys are standing right next to each other. He's kind of just coming
for both.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:28):
You guys, as in me and Dave. You guys, Me and the
zombie.
>> Skylar (28:31):
oh, no, you. You and Dave are both standing kind of next to each other while
he's picking himself up off the floor.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:35):
And the zombie is in front of us. the cart is
between us.
>> Skylar (28:39):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:40):
I now see the empty cart and
see a projectile with Dave being absent from
it.
>> Skylar (28:46):
Nice.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:47):
And I shout out towards Dave, push.
I'm going to grab the Cart and Lightning
McQueen is going to rocket off the
starting line.
>> Skylar (29:08):
All right, sounds good. I'm gonna say that fatty, you are going to use
your, you're going to do the test. Right.
But I'm going to have you add Dave's
strength to it as well since he is helping you with
this action. You both are basically committing your
action to push this cart towards.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:24):
And it's just a hop, skip and a junk from pushing a
cart to pushing a mower.
>> Skylar (29:29):
Okay. Okay.
You guys are close for sure.
All right, so you're going to do you can just do straight
strength. And then Dave is going to add a plus three to whatever
you roll as well.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:42):
Okay.
>> Skylar (29:42):
Yeah.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:44):
Then 11.
>> Skylar (29:45):
Holy cow. And then with Dave's plus
three, so you're at a 14.
All right. So as I mentioned before,
successes are on kind of a variety level.
different levels can mean bigger things.
Right. So with this 14 you have
just done holy cow, you've done
(30:06):
good is what they call it. which seems bad. But
a nine, which is like just barely succeeding.
Right. Is adequate. Is considered
adequate. You guys just did good. Which is two levels
higher than that. The task or task is completed with
ease. Artistic results are appreciated by the
connoisseurs as well as well liked by the public.
But I'm going to say that you get an added benefit. You
(30:28):
push this Lightning McQueen kind
of kid's cart towards this
zombie store manager. It slams into
him, kind of hitting his upper
legs, causing him to sort of topple over on top of this
cart and continuing the
propulsion back towards further back into the
store until he crashes into
(30:50):
a display of various shirts
and jerseys which falls down on top of
him. He is still alive, but he is now
trapped underneath this display and not a current
problem at all.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (31:02):
Nice work, Dave
Kachow.
>> Quinn (31:07):
Are there any zombies like trying to get in the store to. We kind of
like they're all coming at us and we ran by them. So they had
like slowly turned you.
>> Skylar (31:14):
Ran away from them. So they were like imagine
you, you walked in the entrance. They started flooding in
from behind you, between you and the
entrance. And then you just went further into the mall
and jumped into one of the side stores. So you
currently they're on their way towards you because you're the last thing
alive that they Saw, Right. They're hungry. They
saw humans that they want to feast on flesh that they wanted to
(31:37):
eat. And so now they are after you, headed
towards your store. You still have a little bit of time if you wanted to get that
gate closed.
>> Quinn (31:44):
There's got to be a key in the.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (31:46):
Is this really where we want to hunker down, though? We've
got Dave aroused again.
>> Quinn (31:54):
I mean, we can try and get down to the sports.
>> Dave (31:56):
I'm a big Pixar fan. I wouldn't go that
far.
>> Quinn (32:00):
I was thinking that we hunkered. We get to gate closed here,
and we can use the back tunnels. It's gonna be a lot closer.
And,
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:06):
Oh, that's right. Was not a. Forgot about the back
door.
>> Skylar (32:10):
the old back tunnels.
>> Quinn (32:11):
We can get this gate shot. Then we can always. If
need be, we can, you know, block off the tunnel or however
we can.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:17):
But this was not on
said zombified, store manager, because he is now
buried under.
>> Quinn (32:24):
Normally.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:25):
Normally they're not a bunch of his own
merchandise.
>> Quinn (32:28):
Normally they're not.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:29):
How about the cash register?
>> Quinn (32:31):
I worked in the food court here for a short time, which
I really did.
>> Skylar (32:34):
You did?
>> Quinn (32:35):
Actually, keys, normally. Keys normally left out by
the register.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:38):
Is there a welcome at. It might be hidden under?
>> Quinn (32:41):
No, it's generally just left out by the register for anybody to
grab. Close the door.
>> Skylar (32:47):
Yeah, I mean, if you would like to close the door, I would say.
>> Quinn (32:50):
Close the gate or the gate.
>> Speaker B (32:51):
Yep.
>> Skylar (32:51):
I would have you do a perception.
>> Quinn (32:54):
Okay. On the. Like, the
register area.
>> Skylar (32:57):
Yep, sure.
>> Quinn (33:00):
nine plus.
>> Skylar (33:03):
Plus. Yeah. You are able to find the
key, just like you said. It was kept right over by the
register.
>> Quinn (33:09):
Right up by the register. We're overthinking it.
>> Skylar (33:11):
You snag it and run towards the
gate. as somebody that's had experience working
at the mall, you jam the key into the gate and
close it down just as the zombies, made
contact with it. Their fingers and maybe even some of
the scrawnier armed zombies are able to reach through.
But you slam that gate down, it clicks into the floor,
(33:32):
and you step back just in time
to leave them outside and
still hungry.
>> Dave (33:38):
Holy cow. That was good thinking, Quinn. That was
close.
>> Quinn (33:41):
Well, you know, all my time at the mall, I guess, worked out for
some.
>> Skylar (33:45):
You guys are handling this very well.
>> Quinn (33:47):
What else are you gonna do, I guess.
>> Dave (33:49):
Is that guy dead? Did we kill
that guy? What's going on?
>> Skylar (33:53):
As you look over towards him, you just see his arms kind of
awkwardly flopping from underneath the shelf.
>> Dave (34:01):
Okay, so.
>> Quinn (34:02):
Well, guys, I think this is what we've been
preparing our whole life for.
>> Dave (34:07):
Yeah, I was gonna. That's a good question. So,
like, do we know about
zombies in this world?
>> Skylar (34:15):
I, mean the concept. It's
exactly where you would have been in, in 2016.
Zombies have not existed before. I mean, you've
watched movies, obviously, but that's as far as zombies have
ever gotten into your lives.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (34:28):
All I know about zombies is Call of Duty zombies
and Zombieland and Walking.
>> Skylar (34:34):
Dead and the Walking Dead.
>> Dave (34:35):
We need to get out of here, probably and get back to my
parents house.
>> Quinn (34:39):
Yeah, we can get through the. All these back
corridors have exit doors, so if one of them is
blocked, there's multiple doors here. We can all get outside. They all have
exit doors.
>> Dave (34:49):
Okay.
I wonder. You guys see that one movie
where everybody's trapped in the mall and there's
zombies outside?
>> Skylar (34:58):
dawn of the Dead.
>> Dave (34:59):
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know that's what it was called.
>> Quinn (35:05):
Definitely have.
>> Dave (35:06):
Yeah, yeah, that one they like. The whole
mall is surrounded by a horde of zombies.
Do you think that's the case here?
>> Quinn (35:15):
No. We should probably get out of here.
>> Dave (35:17):
I mean, I don't want to like, open a back door and just have a
flood of zombies come in a peephole.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:23):
We are in a mall. It should have most
supplies that we would need to weather this storm.
There's got to be some type of food, it's
got to be some type of weaponry.
>> Dave (35:34):
Well, let me.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:34):
Got to be furniture that we can sleep on.
>> Skylar (35:37):
And most importantly, the gifts that you
need for Christmas.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:43):
And they've got to have some candles.
>> Quinn (35:46):
Yeah, Yankee candles to disguise that rotten flesh.
>> Dave (35:49):
Let me pull out my iPhone4 and try to
call my parents.
>> Skylar (35:54):
All right, you, you whip out your phone, you dial
in the number,
Kurt answers the, phone.
>> Speaker B (36:03):
Hey, Dave, what's up?
>> Quinn (36:05):
Sounds just like him.
>> Dave (36:07):
Dad, are you okay?
>> Speaker B (36:10):
Yeah, I'm fine. What? What's wrong?
>> Dave (36:13):
there's some sort of like, commotion going on at the
mall. I mean, it's
Black Friday, isn't it? Well, yeah, but no, the
normal. More than normal. Like
there's some end time
stuff going on here. There's like, zombies.
>> Speaker B (36:30):
Has the rapture happened or.
What are you talking about, son?
>> Dave (36:35):
The dead walking again? Or I don't know,
people are sick or something. Like they're not. They're
acting.
>> Speaker B (36:42):
All this, all these, you know,
shopping events happening right after.
We're supposed to be thankful for what we've got.
>> Dave (36:49):
No, it's more than material as
materialism. Dad.
>> Speaker B (36:54):
Son, you gotta. I don't not. I'm not picking up what
you're putting down, son.
>> Dave (36:59):
Okay, the rest of the family. Is mom back from
shopping yet?
>> Speaker B (37:03):
No, I haven't seen your mom. She
went to Doormart. She went to
Doormart? I, haven't seen her, but, I don't
know. I could give her a call. Are you worried?
>> Dave (37:15):
yeah, I'm very worried. you should definitely call her.
you probably want to get in the truck and go get her.
Honestly?
>> Speaker B (37:22):
Really? It's that bad? Oh, all right. If you're that
concerned, I trust you. let me, let me give her a call, and I'll call you
right back.
>> Dave (37:29):
Okay.
>> Skylar (37:30):
All right, you hang up and. Yeah, there you are. You just
gonna wait until you get that call back now?
>> Dave (37:35):
We can do stuff while we're waiting.
>> Quinn (37:36):
Okay, we need to. We need to check the back. The
back doors here just to make sure.
>> Skylar (37:41):
There's no way you, you walk over there is. There is a back
door to the store, as there are with
a decent number of these stores. Actually, not all of
them have. I would say, back door.
>> Dave (37:51):
Wait, wait, is there people?
>> Skylar (37:53):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (37:53):
Well, I mean, not out of the door, like,
generally. So at the mall there. No, there's not.
Like, there's a door to get in
generally. Those are open, though. Like, the store doors are open, but
not all the time, but, like, to the doors to get
outside have peeps. So, like, the door to get into the back hallway
probably wouldn't have a people.
>> Skylar (38:13):
Right. So just to clarify, not every
store. So I have those that kind of face some sort
of, like, service hallway or something along those lines. Not all
of them do that. Thankfully, you guys actually did pick one that
does have a service hallway that is
adjacent. And when I say service hallway, technically
they're accessible to the public. If someone were to
(38:33):
walk through the double doors, it wouldn't stop them. But there. Some of them
have doors. Some of them, it's like hallway with
bathrooms. And then it becomes a service hallway. Like,
you're not really supposed to go past this point kind of a thing.
So you guys have a. There is a service hallway. So there is a back
door. and so, Quinn, are you
peeking out of that back door?
>> Quinn (38:52):
Yeah, I'll do it.
>> Skylar (38:53):
All right, so you nervously
take that handle, you twist it, and very
slowly it pushes inwards towards
the service hallway. And as you peek inside, it's
quite dark. There's, not a whole lot of light going on
right here. But you don't see any
movement in the shadows. You don't hear any moaning
and groaning like you did before. at the moment. Moment, this
(39:16):
seems to be safe.
>> Quinn (39:17):
looks. Looks like it's clear, guys. Ah, you guys want to, like,
venture out here? Are we waiting for the phone call? What do you guys want to do? We should
probably get something to defend ourselves because, let's be real,
the odds of survival here. Pretty low.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (39:29):
Yeah, I think it might be time to upgrade the. The
wire shank and the, shopping.
>> Skylar (39:33):
Cart, especially because the shopping cart is.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (39:35):
The shopping cart is no longer here.
>> Skylar (39:37):
You're not gonna get your quarterback. Sorry.
>> Quinn (39:41):
What? What, stores are next to us.
>> Skylar (39:43):
Yes. So, directly across, like, you.
You yourself can kind of peek out. And I think there's
probably some kind of sign or label or something on
the doors or next to the doors
from the service hallway. That label, like, what? Each business is just
so people know. so that, like, staff and stuff don't walk into the
wrong one. right across from you is the
(40:03):
trophy case. Otherwise, as
somebody that has worked at the mall, you know that this service
entrance would eventually lead you down
and around to the, main
hallway that goes past the bookstore.
>> Quinn (40:18):
We're probably the only store that got locked up. So we got
a safe space. What is it?
>> Skylar (40:23):
Tease to please and Jersey
jerseys.
>> Quinn (40:29):
So we got a safe space there. I mean, that could be like
a. Like, our base or something. If we're running away from
something.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (40:34):
I don't know. There's still that one zombie in there.
>> Quinn (40:37):
Should we go kill him quick?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (40:40):
Do we know how to kill him?
>> Dave (40:43):
I don't know if we should resort to
killing anybody. Guys like, I don't know what kind of
sickness this is.
>> Quinn (40:50):
Might try to kill us.
>> Skylar (40:52):
As you say that, Dave, you're a baffle
4s. The baffle 4s begins
to, a pop. Some generic pop
song starts to play that you had as your ringtone in
2016. You look at
the, caller ID and it
says Kurt or Dad, Whatever you'd have it
labeled as.
>> Dave (41:14):
I think back then, it was father. Father.
>> Skylar (41:17):
It says father on it.
>> Dave (41:23):
Dad.
>> Speaker B (41:24):
Yep.
>> Dave (41:25):
What's going on?
>> Speaker B (41:26):
just talked to your mom. She said she's
at, she's at Doormart. she found the
door. She was looking, and, she's.
She said she's in the checkout line. It's a long checkout line,
but she said she's fine.
I didn't get in the truck because she said
she's fine. Are you doing okay?
>> Quinn (41:45):
We need help.
>> Speaker B (41:46):
Oh, who's that? Oh, is that Quinn?
>> Quinn (41:48):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (41:49):
Oh, yeah, you guys just left a little while ago. how
are things going? Did you go to the mall? Is that where you guys were
headed?
>> Dave (41:56):
Yeah, we're at the mall.
>> Skylar (41:58):
I'm just screaming.
>> Dave (42:02):
That's Quinn yelling. Quinn, quiet. I can't even hear.
>> Quinn (42:04):
Sorry. Sorry.
>> Speaker B (42:06):
What is going on over there?
>> Dave (42:08):
Well, yeah, I'm with Fatty and Quinn,
and we're locked in a T
shirt store right now. There's
a horde of, you're locked.
>> Speaker B (42:18):
Hold on. You're locked in a T.
Dave, let me tell you. When. When your brother got
arrested at the very same mall,
for dressing up in a cow costume and
running around like a crazy man. As funny as
it was, the amount of trouble he got in, I.
>> Skylar (42:35):
Wouldn'T call it worth it.
>> Speaker B (42:36):
I hope you didn't.
>> Skylar (42:38):
I hope you didn't do something stupid, Dave.
>> Dave (42:41):
No, I didn't do anything stupid.
>> Speaker B (42:44):
Okay. why are you locked. How did you get
yourself locked in a T? Do you got an employee,
some nearby? Maybe somebody from the mall
staff you can ask to unlock the door for
you?
>> Dave (42:56):
I mean, he. We have the
key. The owner is in here with
us, but he's,
>> Speaker B (43:03):
Dave. Did they get you for stealing? Dave, why
would you steal a T shirt of all the things? I
mean, I'm not gonna encourage you to steal in the first place, but a
T shirt, Dave?
>> Dave (43:13):
Well, I didn't steal
anything.
>> Speaker B (43:17):
Why are you locked in a T shirt store with the
manager?
>> Quinn (43:20):
There are zombies.
>> Dave (43:21):
Can you, like, turn on the new news or something? And there's nothing
about this. Somebody should call the police.
>> Speaker B (43:27):
Let me check.
>> Quinn (43:29):
I was watching Matlock, but I guess.
>> Dave (43:34):
I was watching hgtv.
>> Speaker B (43:36):
I was watching hgtv.
>> Dave (43:38):
House Whippers.
>> Speaker B (43:42):
Let's see here. Here we go.
all right.
>> Skylar (43:47):
And you guys can just barely hear kind of in the
background, some. The news story. You hear, you
know, breaking news.
>> Speaker B (44:01):
Hello, everyone. I'm your anchor,
Anista Zippenbop, and
I am just outside of the Sunrise Mall,
where police and National Guard
forces have surrounded the building.
Allegedly, I've heard speak of
a terrorist attack on the Sunrise
Mall. Further details coming soon.
(44:24):
Excuse me, sir. Sir, please. You look like you might be in
charge here. Can you tell us a little bit about what's going on? my
name is, General Cry. We
recently had some sort of, terrorist
attack. it was a biological
weapon. some sort of sickness or something along
those lines. We're a little unsure at the moment, we don't have full
details. whatever the case, we have surrounded them
(44:46):
all, and, we have deemed it unsafe for any
and all to exit the mall at this time for fear
of further infection. So,
anyone who is in the
mall, who may be seeing or hearing this, please
remain inside. at best, we are going to
discuss possibilities of extraction, but as we
(45:06):
have seen and, observed so far, it doesn't seem
like the current situation is going to allow for
that. Well, what does this mean about those
that are inside the mall? I mean, we have
hundreds, if not thousands of shoppers inside. We
totally understand that, ma'am. we are doing our best
to figure, a solution out for the situation.
(45:26):
But for the meantime, we do not
recommend, anyone entering the
mall, and anyone exiting the mall, we will
have to meet with extreme
prejudice.
>> Quinn (45:37):
This is. We're hearing this through the phone.
>> Skylar (45:39):
Yeah. And as. As you know, the interview continues on,
but, Kurt speaks back through the phone and
says.
>> Speaker B (45:45):
Dave, are you at the mall right now?
>> Skylar (45:48):
Yep.
>> Speaker B (45:48):
Are you.
>> Skylar (45:49):
Are you in this?
>> Quinn (45:50):
You bet you.
>> Skylar (45:50):
Dave, are you okay?
>> Speaker B (45:51):
Are you sick? Did something happen? Have you seen
what's. What's going on over there? What is all of this that's
happening?
>> Dave (45:58):
No, we're not sick. I mean, we just got here,
and then a
horde of people followed us in.
>> Quinn (46:06):
Pretty much.
>> Speaker B (46:07):
A horde of people? Like shoppers? Other
shoppers.
>> Dave (46:10):
Yeah. I mean, at least, you know, like, seems like all
the workers from the movie theater.
I don't know. I don't know how far this sickness
has spread in here.
>> Speaker B (46:22):
Are they. Were they sick?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (46:23):
They didn't look healthy. There was a lot of blood.
>> Dave (46:26):
I mean, we're looking at, like, the. Great. With all the
people pressed against.
>> Skylar (46:30):
Yeah.
>> Dave (46:30):
Are they, like, trying to bite us?
>> Skylar (46:33):
But yeah. Yeah.
>> Dave (46:40):
Oh, yeah, I can do that now.
>> Skylar (46:43):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (46:43):
Dave, send me a picture.
>> Dave (46:45):
I. Send him a picture.
>> Skylar (46:46):
All right.
>> Speaker B (46:47):
What in the world? This is right out of a. Ah, one of those horror
movies. What in the world is going on?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (46:52):
And we're not even at Hot Topic or
Spencer's.
>> Dave (46:57):
Guys, we should, like, cover, our face
or something, probably. What if these guys. Guys
breathe on us and get us sick?
>> Quinn (47:05):
Oh, yeah. This could be, like, a new pandemic. Can you imagine
that? The whole country, the whole world in a pandemic.
Oh, my.
>> Speaker B (47:12):
Is your friend Fatty with you?
>> Dave (47:14):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (47:15):
Okay, well, okay, he's, he's got
all that medical experience. I mean, the guy's practically a
doctor, so, whatever he says. Listen, to what he has
to say. I'm gonna come down there in the truck, and
I'll. I'll see if I can talk to some of the. The
officers and the soldiers that are there and figure out what's going
on.
>> Dave (47:33):
Okay.
>> Speaker B (47:34):
You guys stay safe in there, okay?
>> Dave (47:36):
Yeah, we'll do our best.
>> Speaker B (47:38):
All right. I love you, son.
>> Dave (47:40):
I love you too, dad.
>> Skylar (47:42):
And with that, the call ends. leaving you
standing there in the tees and
jerseys shop.
having heard this news story about getting a little bit
more detail about the circumstances of what's going
on, what is your
next plan?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (48:02):
I do think you're onto something there, Dave. We probably
should cover up, at least put something over
to protect ourselves. I bet some of these
jerseys and T shirts will be enough of a,
PPE. I think they might even be N95
rated.
>> Skylar (48:17):
Really? These are some
impressive, items.
>> Dave (48:22):
Okay. I grab a graphic
tea that says, it's
pizza themed, and it says
Legalize marinara,
and I wrap it around my face like a,
bandana.
>> Skylar (48:39):
Nice. All right, fantastic.
Okay, what about the rest of you guys? Are you guys
putting on this?
>> Quinn (48:45):
I'm gonna go find a. I'm gonna go find a,
packers jersey. Don't quite mind ripping this up.
I'm sure I find a pair of scissors up front and just kind of cut it up
to, like, where I could, you know, get it covered
and tie it behind my head. So I got it wrapped
up.
>> Skylar (49:03):
Because cutting up a Vikings would be a sin.
>> Quinn (49:04):
That'd be a sin.
>> Skylar (49:05):
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
>> Dave (49:06):
But there's a Cubs hat.
>> Quinn (49:09):
Oh, they sell hats here?
>> Dave (49:11):
Maybe they don't. Maybe they don't.
>> Skylar (49:13):
you see Cubs, like,
clothes.
>> Dave (49:17):
You know, it's not the new.
>> Skylar (49:19):
But it's not a hat.
Sorry.
>> Dave (49:22):
It's just the old version. If they don't have the new one.
>> Skylar (49:25):
In, the World Series
again. This store just doesn't have hats. It's mostly shirts.
Shirts and jerseys.
>> Dave (49:32):
It's probably the owner's hat. It's the owner's hat
sitting on the counter.
>> Quinn (49:36):
I'm good.
>> Dave (49:37):
Don't touch that.
>> Skylar (49:38):
Just covered in blood.
>> Quinn (49:40):
Thanks for looking out, though.
>> Skylar (49:43):
something that you might be able to find elsewhere in
the store.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (49:49):
I'm going to ruffle through the shelves or
the racks. Okay. Pull, on a
Steph Curry jersey. Okay. It sucks that he
lost the finals. He's way better than LeBron.
LeBron just manufactured that
team. But anyways, so I'm gonna
support the Steph Curry jersey and then just grab Another T shirt
and the Steph Curry
(50:11):
jersey.
>> Skylar (50:12):
Just for lunch?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (50:12):
Just for us.
>> Quinn (50:13):
Like the back hallway.
>> Skylar (50:15):
Okay.
>> Quinn (50:15):
Like to get out to the back hallway, but to get there, you got to go
through the back room. Would I find anything of value
in these back rooms?
>> Skylar (50:23):
And this would be, like, where the employees might take
breaks or even
bathroom bathrooms in each.
Are you looking for anything in particular?
>> Quinn (50:33):
Are you hoping to find something of some sort?
>> Skylar (50:36):
you.
>> Quinn (50:36):
There's gotta be something.
>> Skylar (50:37):
I would say that there's definitely some. Like. It's like a broom
closet. Right. So there's like some.
Yeah, just for, like, that store,
like, storage area. Yeah, yeah. So
usually, employees or. Yeah, employees at the
mall would wash most of the mall, but not
necessarily the respective stores. So this is a space
(50:58):
for them to have. You know, there's a nice broom and a,
ah, mop and mop bucket and things along those lines.
but that. That would be the gist of kind of your weapons,
per se. that does apply
to scissors.
>> Quinn (51:11):
All right.
>> Dave (51:12):
Sure.
>> Quinn (51:12):
Every stripping scissors all around that place.
Yeah.
>> Skylar (51:15):
In the back room, for sure. Yeah. You could probably find something.
>> Quinn (51:18):
I'm gonna grab a pair of scissors.
>> Skylar (51:19):
Okay.
>> Quinn (51:21):
I'm just gonna grab scissors.
>> Skylar (51:22):
Okay, Sounds good. so there's a list of
different, you know, weapons and stuff like that that you
can get. But I would put this on
to just kind of like, you know, your
general knife. It's a small knife. It works
as a small knife. So we're basically going to take
weapons that they list and then just kind of flavor them
as necessarily. So you have a small knife on
(51:45):
you.
>> Dave (51:46):
What did you guys had, gotten. Where do you get
the water bottle you poured on me?
>> Skylar (51:51):
Oh, yeah, the little. There's a little cooler by the register
so people can buy, like a. A drink before they head
out.
>> Dave (51:57):
What's in that cooler?
>> Skylar (51:59):
yeah, so there would be. They sell
Pepsi products and
so whatever the water is. Was it Aquafina?
>> Dave (52:07):
Oh, man. Back. They got wild cherry.
>> Skylar (52:10):
Yeah, they got wild cherry in there.
>> Dave (52:11):
Oh, that's my jam.
>> Skylar (52:12):
That is a pretty good one.
>> Dave (52:13):
Although, back then I was kind of more of a Coke guy.
>> Quinn (52:17):
Oh.
>> Dave (52:17):
but at college they had Pepsi, so that's what I
drank.
>> Skylar (52:22):
Okay, so are you grabbing one of those?
>> Dave (52:24):
So I'm going to take off my. My string
backpack. You know, those things seem to be all
the rage then.
>> Skylar (52:31):
yes, I remember those.
>> Dave (52:33):
I'm just going to fill it up with, like. Well, if
they have any water, I'm going to, like, take all the water.
>> Skylar (52:38):
Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's in bottles, so you're just
loading up your bag with a bunch of bottles of water. Okay, sweet.
Yeah, you do that.
>> Dave (52:45):
I don't know if we're gonna be able to stay here, guys, but
I.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (52:49):
Think we need to relocate. We need to find someone
somewhere that has better supplies because.
>> Dave (52:55):
And then I'm going to go to, like one of the
display
stands and like, take off
the top piece. Like the round piece
on the top or whatever. The clothes are hanging on.
>> Skylar (53:08):
Nice.
>> Dave (53:09):
Okay, so it's just like the. The
central shaft and then the legs.
>> Skylar (53:14):
Yes.
>> Dave (53:15):
Okay, so kind of like an improvised.
I don't know, something to hold zombies
back should they attack.
>> Skylar (53:22):
So it's kind of just like a club, basically,
or like a. Or a staff, maybe even.
>> Dave (53:27):
Yeah, kind of.
>> Skylar (53:28):
Okay, let's call it a staff. that way I can put
that. Because that's one of the options that they'll have in here.
And then. Are you doing anything fatty before
you guys kind of take off down this hallway, this
service entrance?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (53:41):
Is there by chance a mannequin in this?
>> Skylar (53:44):
Yeah, there's absolutely a mannequin. He's dressed with, like, a,
hat that's kind of sideways a little bit. He's got, like
those long shorts on that kind of like come down past his
mannequin legs. And he's got, like some black, ah,
long T shirt. and it says,
the original gangsta on it.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:02):
Okay. I'm going to do my best to remove him from
his pedestal.
>> Skylar (54:06):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:07):
I will take the hat and, sport the flatbell
myself. But the rest of him, I'm just going to.
>> Skylar (54:12):
You're really decking out and just like the best. You're really
customizing your character here.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:18):
But, yes, I'm going to grab, the mannequin in
hopes that maybe he'll serve as a distraction. Maybe he'll
serve as a battering ram. Maybe he'll
serve as a.
>> Skylar (54:28):
So you're taking.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:29):
Pull off a limb and I get.
>> Skylar (54:30):
A club as a weapon. I like it. Interesting.
>> Quinn (54:33):
Taking his arm.
>> Skylar (54:34):
No, he's taking the whole mannequin.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:37):
But if the opportunity presents itself, pull off a leg and you
got a club.
>> Skylar (54:41):
it's a. It's a multi purpose mannequin.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:44):
It's the Swiss army knife of the apocalypse.
>> Skylar (54:46):
That's right.
>> Quinn (54:47):
Maybe if we pee on it, it'll smell like a
human. And then we throw it out,
on here. Cut yourself.
>> Skylar (54:59):
Jeez, it got dark. all right, so,
Quinn, with your pair of scissors
equipped, Dave with his kind of
staff, chunk of a display, and Fatty
with his mannequin.
>> Quinn (55:12):
You all there's no way we die.
>> Skylar (55:15):
There's no way that you'll die. you open up the back
door and you make your way into the service
entrance, hoping to escape your current
predicament and hopefully get to a safer spot as
you disappear into the darkened hallways
within the inner sanctums of the mall.
And with that, we'll close out Episode one.

zombie series. We'll see you guys next time.
It's Thanksgiving 2016 and there is a
massive crowd of people outside the Sunrise
Mall. The minute hand on Michael's Chicago
Cubs World Series promotional watch slowly
ticks towards 6pm as his heart begins
to race.
The sound of the crowd begins to rise from a murmur
(00:26):
to a roar. Michael gets prodded by a series of
elbow jabs as people begin to rear in excitement
trying to push themselves ever closer to the door.
Michael can feel his heart begin to beat
faster and faster as the pushing and
shoving start to get more and more aggressive. He
looks around him to see the faces of those crowding him into the
(00:47):
glass doors of the shopping center. People snarl
with gritted teeth and squeeze their clenched
fists chomping at the bit to get inside.
The moment the second hand touches the 12 there's a
loud buzz as the doors ret
automatically and the horde of bodies floods
into the mall. Michael hears someone in the crowd scream
(01:09):
out above the voices.
>> Speaker B (01:11):
War Harambe.
>> Skylar (01:12):
Before he is pushed along the crowd, unable to
control his movement or speed. As the mass of
bodies presses him in through the entrance.
He turns for a moment to see the consequences of going
against the flow as an elderly woman trying to get
into one of the nearby stores is knocked to the ground.
A heavy set man takes a forceful footfall in
the woman's direction but Michael is pushed out of sight
(01:35):
sight, unable to see the horrific result of the
accident. Pushed further into the mall trying to
maintain speed with the crowd. Michael can hear the
shouts and screams of the hyperactive customers around
him. Glimpsing at storefronts with people fighting over
whatever they came to get. Whether it be for themselves
or it's that perfect gift for their loved one. This
isn't the first time Michael has been out during this commerce
(01:58):
driven holiday, but the screams and shouts certainly
sound more aggressive and violent than he's used to. Maybe
it's due to the economic downturn or the intense
political riots rivalry that's recently come to a head. But
Michael has no time to process any further as
he manages to take the necessary turn to get to the shop
he's been aiming for. Game Go to get to the
(02:18):
brand new PS4 Slim. Michael has been desperate
to play the PS4 for the last three years and
he finally managed to save up enough to get one. While it's
on this especially hefty sale this year.
Of course, Michael isn't the only one at Game
Go looking to get a hold of this deal. As a handful of others
flood into the store around him, he spots the display.
(02:39):
A pyramid of boxed consoles that Nathan Drake
himself might explore, seeking the treasures within.
Somewhat ironic to the fact that the console comes with a
digital copy of the recent Uncharted 4 game.
He beams with excitement as his hands take
hold of a box. He did it. He finally
did it. He was so excited thinking of the games
(02:59):
he'd finally get to play alongside with his friends
online. As he pulls back the box, a
face reveals itself. A face that rocks
Michael's very soul. The the collar of the
black game goat Polo is lifted,
bringing his attention first to the employee's neck
which leans to the left, beginning
to cave in where a massive wound is gaping and
(03:22):
dripping a mixture of blood and black ooze. terrified,
he continues lifting his gaze to the mouth of this
individual, also smeared with blood and ooze,
which drips menacingly from her gaping teeth
bared maw. Her nose is as crooked
as her neck, as if being bashed in by something
and her eyes, yellowed by some mysterious
(03:42):
sickness. Her pupils dilate as she
focuses on him. Michael lets out a shriek as
the monster lunges over the stack of remaining
consoles towards him.
The group of you awake to fly
by Steve Azar as the end credits of Paul
(04:02):
blart mall cop 2 scroll across the black
screen, you look around the room to see your
friends who are also awakening from their boredom
induced nap. Remembering little about the
movie past the first act,
you recall your plan for tonight.
Having enjoyed a delicious and filling Thanksgiving lunch
(04:22):
with your respective families, you all gathered
together at Dave's house,
prepared to go Black Friday shopping. But
as you look at your phones, you realize it's
already 6:30pm and the deal
started at 6. You leap to your
feet. What are you guys doing? What's the
plan?
>> Quinn (04:42):
We gotta go, we gotta go. I gotta get myself that PS4. So we
gotta go now. Let's go, let's go, let's
go.
>> Dave (04:50):
Xbox is way better, Quinn.
>> Quinn (04:52):
Okay, well I get an Xbox. Okay, I'll get whatever's left at this
point. We gotta go. How could we? It's 6:30. What
were we doing?
>> Dave (04:58):
How can we sit 30. Holy.
>> Quinn (05:01):
How can we sit through this? How could we?
Oh no. They're all gonna be gone. They're
all gonna be gone. We've gotta go now.
>> Dave (05:10):
All right, but let me grab my popcorn. I still had some
left.
>> Quinn (05:14):
Yeah, that's a fair point.
>> Skylar (05:16):
You do have a bowl of unfinished popcorn sitting
by your hand. What are you gonna put it in
it's pockets?
>> Dave (05:22):
My hand?
>> Skylar (05:24):
No, you're just like grabbing a handful.
>> Quinn (05:25):
To Run out the door, put some popcorn in your
pockets. It's gonna be a long night. We might need.
>> Dave (05:30):
No, I've done this. you just. You pinch the top of the
bucket and you.
>> Skylar (05:35):
Oh, it's like one of those ones that you like. You actually put on the
stove. Or.
>> Quinn (05:38):
No.
>> Skylar (05:38):
Oh, oh, the. But, oh, wait, hold on, hold on. You guys are at
a house. Just to clarify, I was definitely picturing we were
at the movies,
and you all fell asleep in the movie theater,
scratching.
>> Quinn (05:52):
Do you got any, like, sandwich bags?
>> Dave (05:56):
Oh, yeah, I gotta. I, grab a gallon Ziploc
bag and pour it into that.
>> Quinn (06:01):
That might be a little big, don't you think?
>> Dave (06:04):
I apparently fell asleep right before.
Only a couple.
>> Skylar (06:08):
Almost nothing.
>> Quinn (06:10):
All right, well, hey, we might need it later. I mean,
you never know.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (06:14):
All right, Quinn, you're driving.
>> Quinn (06:16):
I'm always the one driving.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (06:18):
If anyone can navigate these hordes of people, it's
you.
>> Quinn (06:21):
That is true.
>> Skylar (06:22):
That's true.
>> Quinn (06:22):
All right, let's hop in the, Hop in the Monte Carlo. Let's
go.
>> Skylar (06:26):
I was going to say I'm trying to remember what it was.
>> Quinn (06:28):
I think it was the Monte Carlo.
>> Skylar (06:29):
I think you're right. All right, so you all get into Quinn's
Chevy Monte car. Do you know what
year? I don't know.
>> Quinn (06:36):
It would have been like, a 2003 Monte Carlo.
>> Skylar (06:38):
2003 Monte Carlo. clambering, past
various, ah, empty Mountain Dews from a
variety of different restaurants, Baja Blast or
otherwise. as you guys all
pile either into the front or back seats and
head off towards the Sunrise Mall.
as you guys approach the Sunrise Mall, you guys
have obviously a bit of a difficult time finding
(07:01):
park. Hey.
>> Quinn (07:02):
Oh, there's a spot over there. There's a spot over there.
Someone's back now. Someone's back now. They're over there. Here. Nick, get out
of the car and go stand in that spot over there. Go
stand.
>> Dave (07:13):
There's one up on the right.
>> Skylar (07:15):
Just.
>> Quinn (07:15):
That's the fire lane.
>> Dave (07:17):
Oh, wait, no. There's a small car. Dang it.
>> Skylar (07:20):
It's a classic. Ah, it's a smart car.
>> Quinn (07:22):
That's smart car.
>> Skylar (07:24):
Freaking smart car.
>> Quinn (07:25):
Where are we gonna park? All the deals are gonna be
gone.
>> Skylar (07:29):
as you guys, kind of just start moving towards
the X. Or not the X. the far end of
the parking lot. There's a couple of
spots. but, I mean, when I say far end of the parking lot,
we're talking, like, the boonies.
>> Quinn (07:43):
I guess we're gonna have to park out here. Let's get inside. We're
already. Oh, we're already so late. All the deals are gonna be
gone.
>> Dave (07:49):
Nobody even uses this entrance.
>> Skylar (07:54):
actually, so the entrance closest to you, I
was going to put you guys by the movie theater entrance. So kind of
that main entrance. Ish area. So you guys make your
way across the long parking lot. Kind of surprised that
you're not seeing too many people. But assuming that maybe the
fighting or whatever the case going on inside the
mall is still taking up most people's
(08:14):
time. I mean, we all know for those of us that have gone Black Friday
shopping before, even though people get
inside and grab their deals first,
it's the line at the end when you have to check out
that really sucks. And it gets long so
fast. So, you just kind of assume maybe that's the
case. Whatever, the case. You guys start making your way
towards the entrance of the mall, seeing the big
(08:36):
sign for the silver screen movie
theater, which is right nearby the
entrance. As you all laugh and joke and make your
way through the large windowed doors which easily open
before you, and you take your first steps into the shopping mall all.
You're a bit surprised, not seeing any crowds running around from
shop to shop, grabbing items on their
lists. But you all have a goal in
(08:58):
mind, and that is to get a special gift
or three special gifts for some
special person. Could be yourself. It could be
somebody else, family member, friend.
What is it that you are here to make sure you get? I know a couple
of you have mentioned game consoles for yourselves.
but what, what are the three items that are kind of on your
(09:18):
list that you hope you don't have to leave
this mall without getting?
>> Quinn (09:23):
Well, you know, guys, at this point, the,
the. All the deals are gone and we might. I mean,
we just watched it. We might as well go see Mona. Yeah, I want to
go see Mona.
>> Skylar (09:33):
Moana.
>> Quinn (09:33):
Moana. Whatever. I don't know. It's a new Disney movie.
It's got the rock in it. You
guys just want to go see the movie or.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (09:42):
We couldn't even make it through the last movie. What do you. What makes you
think we can make it through this movie without falling asleep?
>> Dave (09:47):
Well, my family's gonna see that later today.
>> Skylar (09:50):
Unlike actual Friday.
That is a good.
>> Quinn (09:55):
Have you guys seen Dr. Strange? I know it's been out since
October, since last month, but have you guys seen that?
>> Dave (10:01):
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
>> Quinn (10:02):
Oh, okay.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:03):
I guess I gotta get some Christmas shopping done.
>> Quinn (10:06):
I just feel like all the deals are. We Gone. I guess we'll just.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
Where are we heading first?
>> Skylar (10:13):
Well, what's out of curiosity, fatty Lumpkins, what is
on your Christmas list? What are three items? Key
items. The big ones.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:20):
So in the Lumpkin household.
>> Skylar (10:22):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:25):
We always do a grab bag, which are just
the little 5, 10,
$15 gifts and you just kind of put them in at random
and you go for them through a
matter of dice and drawing of numbers.
My goal this year is to have the most coveted gift. So we
are hightailing it to Yankee Candle to get us a three
(10:45):
wick candle.
>> Dave (10:48):
Wood wick.
>> Skylar (10:49):
Wood wick.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:51):
All right, so you guys depend what the sale is. I saw it on the
ads. They got Yankee candles.
>> Skylar (10:56):
That's right.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (10:56):
They get one free.
>> Skylar (10:59):
let's, let's call it this, the
Stanky Candle.
And that's going to be our fictional version of that. The
Stanky Candle. I like it. fantastic.
So, just for those listening a little bit out of game real quick,
I have not filled in the entire map that I put together
for this mall. So as you guys kind of come up
(11:21):
with ideas and suggestions, I'm going to add
stores to the mall along the way to give you guys
some just kind of entertaining, goofy stuff. So, yeah.
Anyways, so okay, that's one thing that you have on
your list. what are two more? Do you. When you
said grab egg, is it like individual items or
do you guys do like little package?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (11:39):
Bring a group of three items.
And my strategy is I always bring items that
I want. So I would like to buy a
Yankee Candle so that I can disguise the foul smelling that
I get when I cook. So that's
why I'm in it for the Yankee Candle.
>> Skylar (11:55):
All right, sounds good.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (11:57):
But some of the other things that I'm looking for is
always in, always got to get the next latest
and greatest Apple products since.
>> Skylar (12:05):
Oh, all right.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:06):
Bound to run dead by the year
after.
>> Skylar (12:09):
Okay, babble.
>> Dave (12:11):
After we go to Stanky, can we, stop by
the sports store? I want to get your opinion on
some Frisbee golf discs.
I want to get one for.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:22):
My brother looking for a overstable
or understable disc.
>> Dave (12:27):
I've heard there's something called like an S
curve. So whatever.
It would give you one of those.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (12:35):
No, you're thinking bell curve. That's in finance.
>> Dave (12:38):
Oh, statistics. Yeah.
>> Quinn (12:41):
Well, we're done there. I gotta go get one of
those new, PS4 Slim. I gotta get one.
>> Skylar (12:48):
Is it.
>> Quinn (12:49):
This is for me.
This is for me.
>> Dave (12:53):
Maybe they'll have rain checks. You never know.
>> Skylar (12:55):
That's also true.
>> Dave (12:56):
They do know sometimes, that Xbox
One S, they got the new, Battlefield one.
I've been really looking forward to that.
>> Quinn (13:06):
hopefully they got some left.
>> Skylar (13:08):
All right, so currently I have, maybe, if
anything, Quinn, give me one more item that you're
after.
>> Quinn (13:14):
One more item that I'm after?
>> Skylar (13:16):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (13:17):
while we're in the sports story. You know, I really do. You know, the Cubs
just won a World Series. I really could use a new Cubs hat.
>> Skylar (13:23):
Oh, okay. Awesome. I like that. perfect.
So for the items that you, guys are after, I
have. Nick is going for a stanky candle
and, the newest Bapple product.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (13:34):
That is correct. I thought we call them
pear products, but Bapple pair.
>> Skylar (13:39):
Yeah, I don't know. I just. Whatever
comes to me. Dave is going for a
Frisbee golf disc and an Xbox One
S, and Quinn is going for a PS4
slim and a Cubs hat.
>> Dave (13:53):
Oh, I got another one, too.
>> Skylar (13:55):
Oh, yeah, go for it. Oh.
>> Dave (13:56):
So this one, honestly, we can probably hit
this one last. I don't think anybody's going to
be swamp in the kitchen goods
store or. I don't even know where to
find. My grandma could really use an
apple slicer.
You know, one of those ones you pressed out
(14:17):
on top.
>> Skylar (14:17):
This just the simplest concept. Apple
slicer. They're kind of nice, though,
all things considered.
>> Dave (14:24):
They do be kind of nice.
>> Skylar (14:25):
Yeah. Awesome. All right, well, Dave has a bonus one he
really needs. and if you guys think of a third, the other two of you. If you
guys think of a third item, let me know. So, as you guys
are kind of walking down this. This main corridor of the
mall that leads kind of deeper into the rest of the mall.
Suddenly a noise rises up above
your jests and chuckles over the
(14:45):
echoing steps of your feet against the tiled
floor, over the Christmas jingles that ring
through the halls. A, groan. And then
another. Each one continues after the
other to create a continuing cacophony of
moaning. You all turn to look
back towards the doors that you just came through.
(15:05):
Behind you is an entire
horde of zombies, that seem to be flooding
from the stores. Brow and Spa
Boutique, the movie theater, the small
arcade. Comes a flood of various
zombies. All these different shoppers with
these horrific wounds across their face, blood
and ooze dripping from them, carrying
(15:28):
items. Some of them. Some of them just carrying
bags, purses,
backpacks. And they all are
glaring directly at each of you, I need
each of you to roll me a
fear check.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (15:44):
How do we do that?
>> Skylar (15:45):
Yes, master, I will.
Okay, so a fear test is going to be
rolling a your D10 and then adding
your willpower, your character's
willpower. And then if you did
have a relevant, you know, quality
or something along those lines that you feel would be
relevant in this situation. You can also add that.
(16:07):
I don't know if any one of you necessarily has
anything that I feel like would probably
apply in this situation. Unless you want to make.
Oh, all right.
>> Dave (16:17):
Fast reaction time gives you
plus one will resisting fear.
>> Skylar (16:22):
Okay, perfect.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (16:24):
What about the ability to react to a creeper in
Minecraft or even a
zombie in Minecraft?
>> Skylar (16:32):
There is a very literal zombie in Minecraft.
I think if anything, maybe that'll come up in a different situation.
But to avoid the fear of it, I'm not sure if that's
necessary.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (16:41):
That is fair.
>> Skylar (16:42):
quite where we're looking. But whatever the case, so each
of you rolls the D10, adds your willpower,
and Dave, you can also add, your fast
reaction time.
>> Quinn (16:54):
Shoot.
>> Dave (16:55):
Not fast enough.
>> Speaker B (16:56):
Not fast.
>> Quinn (16:57):
I rolled a tank.
>> Skylar (16:58):
Nice. Okay, so you succeed, you don't feel
bogged down by any fear necessarily in this situation.
Obviously you're scared at what's happening, but it
doesn't cause you to m. Falter at all.
>> Quinn (17:09):
I can alter.
>> Skylar (17:10):
I cannot.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (17:11):
All right, Daddy rolled a six plus his
willpower of two for a grand total
of eight.
>> Dave (17:18):
Okay, I got a
two plus one plus one.
>> Skylar (17:23):
So a four. A four.
>> Quinn (17:25):
Oof.
>> Skylar (17:25):
Okay, so to succeed you need a nine. So Dave, you
failed, by five.
And Fatty, you failed by one.
So as these zombies are starting to move towards you,
you guys, Quinn, you, You feel
concerned obviously about your guys safety, but, you also
feel alert. You feel that. okay,
(17:45):
what's. I. I'm looking at the situation
and we need to get out of here. you're thinking clearly.
>> Quinn (17:51):
Guys, guys, wake up, wake up. We gotta go, we gotta go.
>> Dave (17:54):
This is the weirdest dream.
>> Skylar (17:56):
As you say, wake up, wake up. Dave
passes out, falls to the floor,
faints. fatty, you start to get
the shakes. your whole body just begins to kind of
shiver semi violently. You,
have a just, you know, in game, you know,
mechanics, you have a minus two penalty on like
(18:16):
everything, for two turns, which,
like six seconds a turn
technically. But a lot of this happens kind
of in game, so we'll take that as it
is. But, whatever the case, you guys both See, Dave just
pass out onto the floor, leaving himself obviously
vulnerable. What are you guys doing?
>> Quinn (18:35):
Wake up. Drag him in the movie theater. Nobody goes
here.
>> Skylar (18:39):
The zombies are coming out of.
>> Quinn (18:41):
Literally nobody goes there, though.
>> Skylar (18:44):
There's employees.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:45):
Quick, where should we take them? Should we go to, like, a, where can we best
barricade ourselves? A hardware store. Where are the people gonna
be going?
>> Quinn (18:53):
Well, where do people. Where do people.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:55):
Ourselves. Up and mounted defense.
>> Quinn (18:57):
Where do people not go?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (18:59):
The furniture store.
>> Quinn (19:01):
M. They had a big sale, though. They
had. They had beds by two
mattresses on.
>> Skylar (19:08):
Sale, like they do always.
>> Quinn (19:10):
The mattress sale is just too good to resist this year. I think that's a
bad idea.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:15):
I don't know. People don't go black.
>> Quinn (19:17):
We should go to Hot Topics.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:18):
There's.
>> Quinn (19:19):
Or we should go to the
goth topic.
>> Skylar (19:22):
Oh, I have that one, actually. It's called, Goth affair.
>> Quinn (19:25):
We should. We should. What about goth Affair? Oh, he goes in
there.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:29):
Except we won't be able to tell
who's looking at us through
goth painted makeup or as an actual
zombie. What about.
>> Quinn (19:39):
What about the sports store? I mean, at least they're gonna have
weapons.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:42):
Eh, that is an option.
>> Quinn (19:45):
How are we gonna get there, though?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (19:48):
We need to move because we got Dave over here
lying on the ground. Grab an arm and we'll pull. What's
closest?
>> Skylar (19:55):
yeah, closest to you at this immediate moment, there
is a T shirt store called Tees and
Jerseys. That.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (20:02):
That doesn't seem like that'd be helpful.
>> Quinn (20:04):
How many people are coming out of here?
>> Skylar (20:06):
you don't really see too many people coming out of this particular spot.
Most of them are coming out of the movie theater.
and like I said, there was a little arcade that, was
right across the hall from the movie theater. Somebody give me a
name for that arcade.
>> Dave (20:19):
Next level.
>> Skylar (20:21):
So you've got zombies coming out of the silver screen
movie theater. You got zombies coming out of the next level. And then
you guys are just past what's called the high brow,
which is kind of a spa. Get your nails
done, manicures, pedicures, get your brows,
obviously your eyebrows, whatever people do to their
eyebrows, shaved
(20:41):
completely off.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (20:43):
I'm very surprised.
>> Skylar (20:45):
Yes. and sure enough, there are a couple of zombies coming
out of the highbrow with their eyebrows completely shaved
off. But, whatever the case,
so you guys are just past that immediately.
to your. It'd be your left is the Pillow
palace, and then just behind that is the tees and
jerseys that I mentioned before.
>> Quinn (21:03):
Let's get to the teas and jerseys There doesn't look like anybody's in
there. Maybe we can pick them up. Can I try and attempt
to pick them up?
>> Skylar (21:10):
Sure, absolutely. do a check
for strength. So you're going to take strength. Plus if you
feel like you have a skill that is, relates
to anything, maybe physical
lifting, you have throwing, but I don't think that
applies.
>> Quinn (21:24):
Stacking pallets.
>> Skylar (21:26):
You did explicitly say pallet stacking.
I don't know if I would take a person. So wait a
minute, Wait a minute.
>> Quinn (21:35):
hang on. How many people are coming out of the
theater?
>> Skylar (21:40):
probably maybe like a dozen. I mean, I would say the
entire horde as it is is about a dozen.
>> Quinn (21:47):
I was thinking there's got to be a wheelchair somewhere.
>> Skylar (21:50):
Somewhere. There probably is a wheelchair
somewhere.
>> Quinn (21:53):
I know they got wheelchair. They got wheelchairs, like, in the middle.
In the front of malls. They got those wheelchairs you can, like,
rent.
>> Skylar (21:59):
Oh, sure. okay. Here's what I will
say. Yes, I'm glad you mentioned that. So, sure enough,
right nearby you there is that little cart
section. They have rentable kids
for a quarter.
>> Quinn (22:12):
Has anybody got a quarter on them?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (22:14):
I do.
>> Quinn (22:15):
Thank God. Grab him.
Grab Dave. Grab Dave.
>> Skylar (22:19):
you rush over, you put the quarter in, and a cart
is released for you to use.
>> Quinn (22:24):
Thank you. Have a great day. Oh, appreciate
that. Pick him up and put him in the
cart.
>> Skylar (22:30):
Okay. All right, Sounds good. I would say between the two of you, I won't
make you do, like, a strength check. I think you. I think between the two of you,
could lift the dude into the cart and then push him. Okay, so you
guys are now pushing Dave, in the cart, who is. Who is
currently unconscious, and you guys are headed where
that T shirt store.
>> Quinn (22:47):
Nobody was shopping at.
>> Skylar (22:48):
Ah, all right, Sounds good. Tees and
jerseys. You guys rush inside.
The doors are wide open.
>> Quinn (22:55):
Do they have the gate that comes down?
>> Skylar (22:57):
They do, but you have to
find the key that's in the store.
>> Quinn (23:04):
And where's the shopman guy in the store.
Nobody's in the store.
>> Skylar (23:07):
As you guys rush into the store, looking
desperately to try to get the thing that you. You reach up to bring
the gate down, and it's stuck because obviously, again, it needs.
It needs a key to unlock from the top and come
down. as you're doing this, one of you hears
out of the corner of your ear a moaning sound
from inside the store. It's just one.
(23:28):
but it does, since it's so close compared to the Rest of the
horde, especially now that you're in a store, it is somewhat
noticeable.
>> Quinn (23:35):
the hangers. What are the hangers made out of? Would they be metal hangers
anywhere? Sure.
>> Skylar (23:39):
Yeah. There's a lot of hangers in
here.
>> Quinn (23:42):
I'm gonna grab a metal hanger.
>> Skylar (23:44):
Okay.
>> Quinn (23:44):
I'm actually gonna grab a couple metal
hangers.
>> Skylar (23:48):
Dual wheeled metal hangers.
>> Quinn (23:51):
Right. flatten them out a little bit
like the ends.
>> Skylar (23:55):
Sure.
>> Quinn (23:55):
They're a little bit spiky. I don't know. That's the only thing I could think
of.
>> Skylar (23:58):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (24:00):
You know, because at this point, you don't know what you're going. I'm gonna do that.
And I'm gonna try. And I'm looking.
I don't see anybody in the room.
>> Skylar (24:08):
there's a lot of, you know,
displays of different shirts and stuff. So they're kind of like, coat
rack esque type things. So there's a
lot of hidden spaces around this store.
>> Quinn (24:20):
Is there any water bottles around?
>> Skylar (24:23):
Yes, I would say there's probably, like a cooler. Little.
>> Quinn (24:26):
They sell little.
>> Speaker B (24:27):
Yep.
>> Quinn (24:27):
Where they got some. I'm gonna go over to the
cooler. Say, we gotta find the key, Nick, see if it's
behind the register. I grab a bottle,
try and wake him up.
>> Skylar (24:38):
Gonna wake him up.
>> Quinn (24:39):
Awesome.
>> Skylar (24:39):
all right. A difficult constitution test. Okay. Is required to recover
consciousness. This can be attempted every minute or
whenever someone tries to stir the character. Okay, so,
Dave, you are going to be making a difficult constitution
check. So you're going to roll the D10 and you are going to
subtract, I'm going to say minus one, to
that roll.
>> Dave (24:58):
10.
>> Skylar (24:59):
10. Awesome. All right, Dave, as this water
splashes over you, you awaken.
you do take minus 16
endurance points because of how much this
affected you. Those can be recovered, of course, by arresting
over time or whatever the case. This water splashes over you,
and suddenly you awaken. You're, feeling a little bit of a cramp
coming in. Maybe, maybe, a charlie horse in your leg.
(25:22):
As you realize you are currently inside of a cart
and have been pushed into what seems to be a T shirt
shop.
>> Dave (25:29):
what's going on?
Hell, I'm stuck.
Why am I enlightening the queen?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (25:40):
And as mayor was all sold out.
>> Skylar (25:43):
As you struggle to get loose, a
figure comes around one of the shirt racks.
you see your friend Quinn over to the side, who
seems to be. He just poured the water on you and he seems to be
frantically, looking for something. You're not sure.
I Don't know what Fatty Lumpkins is doing at the
moment.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (26:01):
Fatty is intrigued by this moaning sound.
>> Skylar (26:03):
Oh, okay.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (26:04):
He is kind of perking his
ears up and listening for what he can
hear, see, and if he can
match the sound to a movement.
>> Skylar (26:15):
Okay, sounds good. Well, you absolutely are about to, because
as you stand there next to Dave, who is frantically trying to
get out of this, lightning McQueen cart
that he has kind of been jammed into, a
horrific, monstrous figure makes his way
around one of the shelves full of shirts and
out steps a zombified
(26:35):
tease and jerseys store
manager. And, he is wearing one of those, like, really
long T shirts that like, basically he. He wouldn't
even have to be wearing pants practically because the shirt goes
like that far down. It's just got some
stupid slogan on it that says,
I feel perky for some jerky.
>> Quinn (26:59):
And I feel perky for some jerky. Oh, this
is the store that doubles as a jerky sales.
>> Skylar (27:04):
They've got jerky coming out. They're selling jerky out the
back. they don't have a license to sell food.
They're doing it illegally. Whatever, the case, he starts to
shamble towards the two of you
specifically, what are you doing?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (27:19):
I notice Queen's weapon of choice and do
kind of scramble for my own makeshift weapon.
Just grabbing a couple of the jerseys off the
hangers and seeing if I too, can
manufacture a shank out of one of them.
>> Skylar (27:33):
Okay, sounds good.
>> Dave (27:35):
Do I notice the zombie or.
>> Quinn (27:37):
Oh, yeah.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (27:37):
I mean, he's.
>> Skylar (27:38):
He's pretty much beelining for you. He sees that you're kind of stuck
and he starts coming m.
>> Dave (27:47):
I try to grunt my way out of
this.
>> Skylar (27:50):
All right, I'm going to have you, make a.
Let's do strength to try to get yourself out. There's a part of
me that said, do I do willpower?
>> Dave (28:01):
Got an 8.
>> Skylar (28:02):
8 plus 3. Awesome. So you managed to pull
yourself out of the Lightning
McQueen as you scramble to
stand up off the floor. Fatty,
you have a hanger that you fashioned
into a shank. Awesome. Are you going to
lunge first or wait till he gets closer?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:22):
So the zombie is closest to me? Is that what I'm gathering?
>> Skylar (28:25):
I mean, you guys are standing right next to each other. He's kind of just coming
for both.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:28):
You guys, as in me and Dave. You guys, Me and the
zombie.
>> Skylar (28:31):
oh, no, you. You and Dave are both standing kind of next to each other while
he's picking himself up off the floor.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:35):
And the zombie is in front of us. the cart is
between us.
>> Skylar (28:39):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:40):
I now see the empty cart and
see a projectile with Dave being absent from
it.
>> Skylar (28:46):
Nice.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (28:47):
And I shout out towards Dave, push.
I'm going to grab the Cart and Lightning
McQueen is going to rocket off the
starting line.
>> Skylar (29:08):
All right, sounds good. I'm gonna say that fatty, you are going to use
your, you're going to do the test. Right.
But I'm going to have you add Dave's
strength to it as well since he is helping you with
this action. You both are basically committing your
action to push this cart towards.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:24):
And it's just a hop, skip and a junk from pushing a
cart to pushing a mower.
>> Skylar (29:29):
Okay. Okay.
You guys are close for sure.
All right, so you're going to do you can just do straight
strength. And then Dave is going to add a plus three to whatever
you roll as well.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:42):
Okay.
>> Skylar (29:42):
Yeah.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (29:44):
Then 11.
>> Skylar (29:45):
Holy cow. And then with Dave's plus
three, so you're at a 14.
All right. So as I mentioned before,
successes are on kind of a variety level.
different levels can mean bigger things.
Right. So with this 14 you have
just done holy cow, you've done
(30:06):
good is what they call it. which seems bad. But
a nine, which is like just barely succeeding.
Right. Is adequate. Is considered
adequate. You guys just did good. Which is two levels
higher than that. The task or task is completed with
ease. Artistic results are appreciated by the
connoisseurs as well as well liked by the public.
But I'm going to say that you get an added benefit. You
(30:28):
push this Lightning McQueen kind
of kid's cart towards this
zombie store manager. It slams into
him, kind of hitting his upper
legs, causing him to sort of topple over on top of this
cart and continuing the
propulsion back towards further back into the
store until he crashes into
(30:50):
a display of various shirts
and jerseys which falls down on top of
him. He is still alive, but he is now
trapped underneath this display and not a current
problem at all.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (31:02):
Nice work, Dave
Kachow.
>> Quinn (31:07):
Are there any zombies like trying to get in the store to. We kind of
like they're all coming at us and we ran by them. So they had
like slowly turned you.
>> Skylar (31:14):
Ran away from them. So they were like imagine
you, you walked in the entrance. They started flooding in
from behind you, between you and the
entrance. And then you just went further into the mall
and jumped into one of the side stores. So you
currently they're on their way towards you because you're the last thing
alive that they Saw, Right. They're hungry. They
saw humans that they want to feast on flesh that they wanted to
(31:37):
eat. And so now they are after you, headed
towards your store. You still have a little bit of time if you wanted to get that
gate closed.
>> Quinn (31:44):
There's got to be a key in the.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (31:46):
Is this really where we want to hunker down, though? We've
got Dave aroused again.
>> Quinn (31:54):
I mean, we can try and get down to the sports.
>> Dave (31:56):
I'm a big Pixar fan. I wouldn't go that
far.
>> Quinn (32:00):
I was thinking that we hunkered. We get to gate closed here,
and we can use the back tunnels. It's gonna be a lot closer.
And,
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:06):
Oh, that's right. Was not a. Forgot about the back
door.
>> Skylar (32:10):
the old back tunnels.
>> Quinn (32:11):
We can get this gate shot. Then we can always. If
need be, we can, you know, block off the tunnel or however
we can.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:17):
But this was not on
said zombified, store manager, because he is now
buried under.
>> Quinn (32:24):
Normally.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:25):
Normally they're not a bunch of his own
merchandise.
>> Quinn (32:28):
Normally they're not.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:29):
How about the cash register?
>> Quinn (32:31):
I worked in the food court here for a short time, which
I really did.
>> Skylar (32:34):
You did?
>> Quinn (32:35):
Actually, keys, normally. Keys normally left out by
the register.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (32:38):
Is there a welcome at. It might be hidden under?
>> Quinn (32:41):
No, it's generally just left out by the register for anybody to
grab. Close the door.
>> Skylar (32:47):
Yeah, I mean, if you would like to close the door, I would say.
>> Quinn (32:50):
Close the gate or the gate.
>> Speaker B (32:51):
Yep.
>> Skylar (32:51):
I would have you do a perception.
>> Quinn (32:54):
Okay. On the. Like, the
register area.
>> Skylar (32:57):
Yep, sure.
>> Quinn (33:00):
nine plus.
>> Skylar (33:03):
Plus. Yeah. You are able to find the
key, just like you said. It was kept right over by the
register.
>> Quinn (33:09):
Right up by the register. We're overthinking it.
>> Skylar (33:11):
You snag it and run towards the
gate. as somebody that's had experience working
at the mall, you jam the key into the gate and
close it down just as the zombies, made
contact with it. Their fingers and maybe even some of
the scrawnier armed zombies are able to reach through.
But you slam that gate down, it clicks into the floor,
(33:32):
and you step back just in time
to leave them outside and
still hungry.
>> Dave (33:38):
Holy cow. That was good thinking, Quinn. That was
close.
>> Quinn (33:41):
Well, you know, all my time at the mall, I guess, worked out for
some.
>> Skylar (33:45):
You guys are handling this very well.
>> Quinn (33:47):
What else are you gonna do, I guess.
>> Dave (33:49):
Is that guy dead? Did we kill
that guy? What's going on?
>> Skylar (33:53):
As you look over towards him, you just see his arms kind of
awkwardly flopping from underneath the shelf.
>> Dave (34:01):
Okay, so.
>> Quinn (34:02):
Well, guys, I think this is what we've been
preparing our whole life for.
>> Dave (34:07):
Yeah, I was gonna. That's a good question. So,
like, do we know about
zombies in this world?
>> Skylar (34:15):
I, mean the concept. It's
exactly where you would have been in, in 2016.
Zombies have not existed before. I mean, you've
watched movies, obviously, but that's as far as zombies have
ever gotten into your lives.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (34:28):
All I know about zombies is Call of Duty zombies
and Zombieland and Walking.
>> Skylar (34:34):
Dead and the Walking Dead.
>> Dave (34:35):
We need to get out of here, probably and get back to my
parents house.
>> Quinn (34:39):
Yeah, we can get through the. All these back
corridors have exit doors, so if one of them is
blocked, there's multiple doors here. We can all get outside. They all have
exit doors.
>> Dave (34:49):
Okay.
I wonder. You guys see that one movie
where everybody's trapped in the mall and there's
zombies outside?
>> Skylar (34:58):
dawn of the Dead.
>> Dave (34:59):
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't know that's what it was called.
>> Quinn (35:05):
Definitely have.
>> Dave (35:06):
Yeah, yeah, that one they like. The whole
mall is surrounded by a horde of zombies.
Do you think that's the case here?
>> Quinn (35:15):
No. We should probably get out of here.
>> Dave (35:17):
I mean, I don't want to like, open a back door and just have a
flood of zombies come in a peephole.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:23):
We are in a mall. It should have most
supplies that we would need to weather this storm.
There's got to be some type of food, it's
got to be some type of weaponry.
>> Dave (35:34):
Well, let me.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:34):
Got to be furniture that we can sleep on.
>> Skylar (35:37):
And most importantly, the gifts that you
need for Christmas.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (35:43):
And they've got to have some candles.
>> Quinn (35:46):
Yeah, Yankee candles to disguise that rotten flesh.
>> Dave (35:49):
Let me pull out my iPhone4 and try to
call my parents.
>> Skylar (35:54):
All right, you, you whip out your phone, you dial
in the number,
Kurt answers the, phone.
>> Speaker B (36:03):
Hey, Dave, what's up?
>> Quinn (36:05):
Sounds just like him.
>> Dave (36:07):
Dad, are you okay?
>> Speaker B (36:10):
Yeah, I'm fine. What? What's wrong?
>> Dave (36:13):
there's some sort of like, commotion going on at the
mall. I mean, it's
Black Friday, isn't it? Well, yeah, but no, the
normal. More than normal. Like
there's some end time
stuff going on here. There's like, zombies.
>> Speaker B (36:30):
Has the rapture happened or.
What are you talking about, son?
>> Dave (36:35):
The dead walking again? Or I don't know,
people are sick or something. Like they're not. They're
acting.
>> Speaker B (36:42):
All this, all these, you know,
shopping events happening right after.
We're supposed to be thankful for what we've got.
>> Dave (36:49):
No, it's more than material as
materialism. Dad.
>> Speaker B (36:54):
Son, you gotta. I don't not. I'm not picking up what
you're putting down, son.
>> Dave (36:59):
Okay, the rest of the family. Is mom back from
shopping yet?
>> Speaker B (37:03):
No, I haven't seen your mom. She
went to Doormart. She went to
Doormart? I, haven't seen her, but, I don't
know. I could give her a call. Are you worried?
>> Dave (37:15):
yeah, I'm very worried. you should definitely call her.
you probably want to get in the truck and go get her.
Honestly?
>> Speaker B (37:22):
Really? It's that bad? Oh, all right. If you're that
concerned, I trust you. let me, let me give her a call, and I'll call you
right back.
>> Dave (37:29):
Okay.
>> Skylar (37:30):
All right, you hang up and. Yeah, there you are. You just
gonna wait until you get that call back now?
>> Dave (37:35):
We can do stuff while we're waiting.
>> Quinn (37:36):
Okay, we need to. We need to check the back. The
back doors here just to make sure.
>> Skylar (37:41):
There's no way you, you walk over there is. There is a back
door to the store, as there are with
a decent number of these stores. Actually, not all of
them have. I would say, back door.
>> Dave (37:51):
Wait, wait, is there people?
>> Skylar (37:53):
Yeah.
>> Quinn (37:53):
Well, I mean, not out of the door, like,
generally. So at the mall there. No, there's not.
Like, there's a door to get in
generally. Those are open, though. Like, the store doors are open, but
not all the time, but, like, to the doors to get
outside have peeps. So, like, the door to get into the back hallway
probably wouldn't have a people.
>> Skylar (38:13):
Right. So just to clarify, not every
store. So I have those that kind of face some sort
of, like, service hallway or something along those lines. Not all
of them do that. Thankfully, you guys actually did pick one that
does have a service hallway that is
adjacent. And when I say service hallway, technically
they're accessible to the public. If someone were to
(38:33):
walk through the double doors, it wouldn't stop them. But there. Some of them
have doors. Some of them, it's like hallway with
bathrooms. And then it becomes a service hallway. Like,
you're not really supposed to go past this point kind of a thing.
So you guys have a. There is a service hallway. So there is a back
door. and so, Quinn, are you
peeking out of that back door?
>> Quinn (38:52):
Yeah, I'll do it.
>> Skylar (38:53):
All right, so you nervously
take that handle, you twist it, and very
slowly it pushes inwards towards
the service hallway. And as you peek inside, it's
quite dark. There's, not a whole lot of light going on
right here. But you don't see any
movement in the shadows. You don't hear any moaning
and groaning like you did before. at the moment. Moment, this
(39:16):
seems to be safe.
>> Quinn (39:17):
looks. Looks like it's clear, guys. Ah, you guys want to, like,
venture out here? Are we waiting for the phone call? What do you guys want to do? We should
probably get something to defend ourselves because, let's be real,
the odds of survival here. Pretty low.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (39:29):
Yeah, I think it might be time to upgrade the. The
wire shank and the, shopping.
>> Skylar (39:33):
Cart, especially because the shopping cart is.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (39:35):
The shopping cart is no longer here.
>> Skylar (39:37):
You're not gonna get your quarterback. Sorry.
>> Quinn (39:41):
What? What, stores are next to us.
>> Skylar (39:43):
Yes. So, directly across, like, you.
You yourself can kind of peek out. And I think there's
probably some kind of sign or label or something on
the doors or next to the doors
from the service hallway. That label, like, what? Each business is just
so people know. so that, like, staff and stuff don't walk into the
wrong one. right across from you is the
(40:03):
trophy case. Otherwise, as
somebody that has worked at the mall, you know that this service
entrance would eventually lead you down
and around to the, main
hallway that goes past the bookstore.
>> Quinn (40:18):
We're probably the only store that got locked up. So we got
a safe space. What is it?
>> Skylar (40:23):
Tease to please and Jersey
jerseys.
>> Quinn (40:29):
So we got a safe space there. I mean, that could be like
a. Like, our base or something. If we're running away from
something.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (40:34):
I don't know. There's still that one zombie in there.
>> Quinn (40:37):
Should we go kill him quick?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (40:40):
Do we know how to kill him?
>> Dave (40:43):
I don't know if we should resort to
killing anybody. Guys like, I don't know what kind of
sickness this is.
>> Quinn (40:50):
Might try to kill us.
>> Skylar (40:52):
As you say that, Dave, you're a baffle
4s. The baffle 4s begins
to, a pop. Some generic pop
song starts to play that you had as your ringtone in
2016. You look at
the, caller ID and it
says Kurt or Dad, Whatever you'd have it
labeled as.
>> Dave (41:14):
I think back then, it was father. Father.
>> Skylar (41:17):
It says father on it.
>> Dave (41:23):
Dad.
>> Speaker B (41:24):
Yep.
>> Dave (41:25):
What's going on?
>> Speaker B (41:26):
just talked to your mom. She said she's
at, she's at Doormart. she found the
door. She was looking, and, she's.
She said she's in the checkout line. It's a long checkout line,
but she said she's fine.
I didn't get in the truck because she said
she's fine. Are you doing okay?
>> Quinn (41:45):
We need help.
>> Speaker B (41:46):
Oh, who's that? Oh, is that Quinn?
>> Quinn (41:48):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (41:49):
Oh, yeah, you guys just left a little while ago. how
are things going? Did you go to the mall? Is that where you guys were
headed?
>> Dave (41:56):
Yeah, we're at the mall.
>> Skylar (41:58):
I'm just screaming.
>> Dave (42:02):
That's Quinn yelling. Quinn, quiet. I can't even hear.
>> Quinn (42:04):
Sorry. Sorry.
>> Speaker B (42:06):
What is going on over there?
>> Dave (42:08):
Well, yeah, I'm with Fatty and Quinn,
and we're locked in a T
shirt store right now. There's
a horde of, you're locked.
>> Speaker B (42:18):
Hold on. You're locked in a T.
Dave, let me tell you. When. When your brother got
arrested at the very same mall,
for dressing up in a cow costume and
running around like a crazy man. As funny as
it was, the amount of trouble he got in, I.
>> Skylar (42:35):
Wouldn'T call it worth it.
>> Speaker B (42:36):
I hope you didn't.
>> Skylar (42:38):
I hope you didn't do something stupid, Dave.
>> Dave (42:41):
No, I didn't do anything stupid.
>> Speaker B (42:44):
Okay. why are you locked. How did you get
yourself locked in a T? Do you got an employee,
some nearby? Maybe somebody from the mall
staff you can ask to unlock the door for
you?
>> Dave (42:56):
I mean, he. We have the
key. The owner is in here with
us, but he's,
>> Speaker B (43:03):
Dave. Did they get you for stealing? Dave, why
would you steal a T shirt of all the things? I
mean, I'm not gonna encourage you to steal in the first place, but a
T shirt, Dave?
>> Dave (43:13):
Well, I didn't steal
anything.
>> Speaker B (43:17):
Why are you locked in a T shirt store with the
manager?
>> Quinn (43:20):
There are zombies.
>> Dave (43:21):
Can you, like, turn on the new news or something? And there's nothing
about this. Somebody should call the police.
>> Speaker B (43:27):
Let me check.
>> Quinn (43:29):
I was watching Matlock, but I guess.
>> Dave (43:34):
I was watching hgtv.
>> Speaker B (43:36):
I was watching hgtv.
>> Dave (43:38):
House Whippers.
>> Speaker B (43:42):
Let's see here. Here we go.
all right.
>> Skylar (43:47):
And you guys can just barely hear kind of in the
background, some. The news story. You hear, you
know, breaking news.
>> Speaker B (44:01):
Hello, everyone. I'm your anchor,
Anista Zippenbop, and
I am just outside of the Sunrise Mall,
where police and National Guard
forces have surrounded the building.
Allegedly, I've heard speak of
a terrorist attack on the Sunrise
Mall. Further details coming soon.
(44:24):
Excuse me, sir. Sir, please. You look like you might be in
charge here. Can you tell us a little bit about what's going on? my
name is, General Cry. We
recently had some sort of, terrorist
attack. it was a biological
weapon. some sort of sickness or something along
those lines. We're a little unsure at the moment, we don't have full
details. whatever the case, we have surrounded them
(44:46):
all, and, we have deemed it unsafe for any
and all to exit the mall at this time for fear
of further infection. So,
anyone who is in the
mall, who may be seeing or hearing this, please
remain inside. at best, we are going to
discuss possibilities of extraction, but as we
(45:06):
have seen and, observed so far, it doesn't seem
like the current situation is going to allow for
that. Well, what does this mean about those
that are inside the mall? I mean, we have
hundreds, if not thousands of shoppers inside. We
totally understand that, ma'am. we are doing our best
to figure, a solution out for the situation.
(45:26):
But for the meantime, we do not
recommend, anyone entering the
mall, and anyone exiting the mall, we will
have to meet with extreme
prejudice.
>> Quinn (45:37):
This is. We're hearing this through the phone.
>> Skylar (45:39):
Yeah. And as. As you know, the interview continues on,
but, Kurt speaks back through the phone and
says.
>> Speaker B (45:45):
Dave, are you at the mall right now?
>> Skylar (45:48):
Yep.
>> Speaker B (45:48):
Are you.
>> Skylar (45:49):
Are you in this?
>> Quinn (45:50):
You bet you.
>> Skylar (45:50):
Dave, are you okay?
>> Speaker B (45:51):
Are you sick? Did something happen? Have you seen
what's. What's going on over there? What is all of this that's
happening?
>> Dave (45:58):
No, we're not sick. I mean, we just got here,
and then a
horde of people followed us in.
>> Quinn (46:06):
Pretty much.
>> Speaker B (46:07):
A horde of people? Like shoppers? Other
shoppers.
>> Dave (46:10):
Yeah. I mean, at least, you know, like, seems like all
the workers from the movie theater.
I don't know. I don't know how far this sickness
has spread in here.
>> Speaker B (46:22):
Are they. Were they sick?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (46:23):
They didn't look healthy. There was a lot of blood.
>> Dave (46:26):
I mean, we're looking at, like, the. Great. With all the
people pressed against.
>> Skylar (46:30):
Yeah.
>> Dave (46:30):
Are they, like, trying to bite us?
>> Skylar (46:33):
But yeah. Yeah.
>> Dave (46:40):
Oh, yeah, I can do that now.
>> Skylar (46:43):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (46:43):
Dave, send me a picture.
>> Dave (46:45):
I. Send him a picture.
>> Skylar (46:46):
All right.
>> Speaker B (46:47):
What in the world? This is right out of a. Ah, one of those horror
movies. What in the world is going on?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (46:52):
And we're not even at Hot Topic or
Spencer's.
>> Dave (46:57):
Guys, we should, like, cover, our face
or something, probably. What if these guys. Guys
breathe on us and get us sick?
>> Quinn (47:05):
Oh, yeah. This could be, like, a new pandemic. Can you imagine
that? The whole country, the whole world in a pandemic.
Oh, my.
>> Speaker B (47:12):
Is your friend Fatty with you?
>> Dave (47:14):
Yeah.
>> Speaker B (47:15):
Okay, well, okay, he's, he's got
all that medical experience. I mean, the guy's practically a
doctor, so, whatever he says. Listen, to what he has
to say. I'm gonna come down there in the truck, and
I'll. I'll see if I can talk to some of the. The
officers and the soldiers that are there and figure out what's going
on.
>> Dave (47:33):
Okay.
>> Speaker B (47:34):
You guys stay safe in there, okay?
>> Dave (47:36):
Yeah, we'll do our best.
>> Speaker B (47:38):
All right. I love you, son.
>> Dave (47:40):
I love you too, dad.
>> Skylar (47:42):
And with that, the call ends. leaving you
standing there in the tees and
jerseys shop.
having heard this news story about getting a little bit
more detail about the circumstances of what's going
on, what is your
next plan?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (48:02):
I do think you're onto something there, Dave. We probably
should cover up, at least put something over
to protect ourselves. I bet some of these
jerseys and T shirts will be enough of a,
PPE. I think they might even be N95
rated.
>> Skylar (48:17):
Really? These are some
impressive, items.
>> Dave (48:22):
Okay. I grab a graphic
tea that says, it's
pizza themed, and it says
Legalize marinara,
and I wrap it around my face like a,
bandana.
>> Skylar (48:39):
Nice. All right, fantastic.
Okay, what about the rest of you guys? Are you guys
putting on this?
>> Quinn (48:45):
I'm gonna go find a. I'm gonna go find a,
packers jersey. Don't quite mind ripping this up.
I'm sure I find a pair of scissors up front and just kind of cut it up
to, like, where I could, you know, get it covered
and tie it behind my head. So I got it wrapped
up.
>> Skylar (49:03):
Because cutting up a Vikings would be a sin.
>> Quinn (49:04):
That'd be a sin.
>> Skylar (49:05):
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
>> Dave (49:06):
But there's a Cubs hat.
>> Quinn (49:09):
Oh, they sell hats here?
>> Dave (49:11):
Maybe they don't. Maybe they don't.
>> Skylar (49:13):
you see Cubs, like,
clothes.
>> Dave (49:17):
You know, it's not the new.
>> Skylar (49:19):
But it's not a hat.
Sorry.
>> Dave (49:22):
It's just the old version. If they don't have the new one.
>> Skylar (49:25):
In, the World Series
again. This store just doesn't have hats. It's mostly shirts.
Shirts and jerseys.
>> Dave (49:32):
It's probably the owner's hat. It's the owner's hat
sitting on the counter.
>> Quinn (49:36):
I'm good.
>> Dave (49:37):
Don't touch that.
>> Skylar (49:38):
Just covered in blood.
>> Quinn (49:40):
Thanks for looking out, though.
>> Skylar (49:43):
something that you might be able to find elsewhere in
the store.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (49:49):
I'm going to ruffle through the shelves or
the racks. Okay. Pull, on a
Steph Curry jersey. Okay. It sucks that he
lost the finals. He's way better than LeBron.
LeBron just manufactured that
team. But anyways, so I'm gonna
support the Steph Curry jersey and then just grab Another T shirt
and the Steph Curry
(50:11):
jersey.
>> Skylar (50:12):
Just for lunch?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (50:12):
Just for us.
>> Quinn (50:13):
Like the back hallway.
>> Skylar (50:15):
Okay.
>> Quinn (50:15):
Like to get out to the back hallway, but to get there, you got to go
through the back room. Would I find anything of value
in these back rooms?
>> Skylar (50:23):
And this would be, like, where the employees might take
breaks or even
bathroom bathrooms in each.
Are you looking for anything in particular?
>> Quinn (50:33):
Are you hoping to find something of some sort?
>> Skylar (50:36):
you.
>> Quinn (50:36):
There's gotta be something.
>> Skylar (50:37):
I would say that there's definitely some. Like. It's like a broom
closet. Right. So there's like some.
Yeah, just for, like, that store,
like, storage area. Yeah, yeah. So
usually, employees or. Yeah, employees at the
mall would wash most of the mall, but not
necessarily the respective stores. So this is a space
(50:58):
for them to have. You know, there's a nice broom and a,
ah, mop and mop bucket and things along those lines.
but that. That would be the gist of kind of your weapons,
per se. that does apply
to scissors.
>> Quinn (51:11):
All right.
>> Dave (51:12):
Sure.
>> Quinn (51:12):
Every stripping scissors all around that place.
Yeah.
>> Skylar (51:15):
In the back room, for sure. Yeah. You could probably find something.
>> Quinn (51:18):
I'm gonna grab a pair of scissors.
>> Skylar (51:19):
Okay.
>> Quinn (51:21):
I'm just gonna grab scissors.
>> Skylar (51:22):
Okay, Sounds good. so there's a list of
different, you know, weapons and stuff like that that you
can get. But I would put this on
to just kind of like, you know, your
general knife. It's a small knife. It works
as a small knife. So we're basically going to take
weapons that they list and then just kind of flavor them
as necessarily. So you have a small knife on
(51:45):
you.
>> Dave (51:46):
What did you guys had, gotten. Where do you get
the water bottle you poured on me?
>> Skylar (51:51):
Oh, yeah, the little. There's a little cooler by the register
so people can buy, like a. A drink before they head
out.
>> Dave (51:57):
What's in that cooler?
>> Skylar (51:59):
yeah, so there would be. They sell
Pepsi products and
so whatever the water is. Was it Aquafina?
>> Dave (52:07):
Oh, man. Back. They got wild cherry.
>> Skylar (52:10):
Yeah, they got wild cherry in there.
>> Dave (52:11):
Oh, that's my jam.
>> Skylar (52:12):
That is a pretty good one.
>> Dave (52:13):
Although, back then I was kind of more of a Coke guy.
>> Quinn (52:17):
Oh.
>> Dave (52:17):
but at college they had Pepsi, so that's what I
drank.
>> Skylar (52:22):
Okay, so are you grabbing one of those?
>> Dave (52:24):
So I'm going to take off my. My string
backpack. You know, those things seem to be all
the rage then.
>> Skylar (52:31):
yes, I remember those.
>> Dave (52:33):
I'm just going to fill it up with, like. Well, if
they have any water, I'm going to, like, take all the water.
>> Skylar (52:38):
Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's in bottles, so you're just
loading up your bag with a bunch of bottles of water. Okay, sweet.
Yeah, you do that.
>> Dave (52:45):
I don't know if we're gonna be able to stay here, guys, but
I.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (52:49):
Think we need to relocate. We need to find someone
somewhere that has better supplies because.
>> Dave (52:55):
And then I'm going to go to, like one of the
display
stands and like, take off
the top piece. Like the round piece
on the top or whatever. The clothes are hanging on.
>> Skylar (53:08):
Nice.
>> Dave (53:09):
Okay, so it's just like the. The
central shaft and then the legs.
>> Skylar (53:14):
Yes.
>> Dave (53:15):
Okay, so kind of like an improvised.
I don't know, something to hold zombies
back should they attack.
>> Skylar (53:22):
So it's kind of just like a club, basically,
or like a. Or a staff, maybe even.
>> Dave (53:27):
Yeah, kind of.
>> Skylar (53:28):
Okay, let's call it a staff. that way I can put
that. Because that's one of the options that they'll have in here.
And then. Are you doing anything fatty before
you guys kind of take off down this hallway, this
service entrance?
>> Fatty Lumpkins (53:41):
Is there by chance a mannequin in this?
>> Skylar (53:44):
Yeah, there's absolutely a mannequin. He's dressed with, like, a,
hat that's kind of sideways a little bit. He's got, like
those long shorts on that kind of like come down past his
mannequin legs. And he's got, like some black, ah,
long T shirt. and it says,
the original gangsta on it.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:02):
Okay. I'm going to do my best to remove him from
his pedestal.
>> Skylar (54:06):
Yes.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:07):
I will take the hat and, sport the flatbell
myself. But the rest of him, I'm just going to.
>> Skylar (54:12):
You're really decking out and just like the best. You're really
customizing your character here.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:18):
But, yes, I'm going to grab, the mannequin in
hopes that maybe he'll serve as a distraction. Maybe he'll
serve as a battering ram. Maybe he'll
serve as a.
>> Skylar (54:28):
So you're taking.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:29):
Pull off a limb and I get.
>> Skylar (54:30):
A club as a weapon. I like it. Interesting.
>> Quinn (54:33):
Taking his arm.
>> Skylar (54:34):
No, he's taking the whole mannequin.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:37):
But if the opportunity presents itself, pull off a leg and you
got a club.
>> Skylar (54:41):
it's a. It's a multi purpose mannequin.
>> Fatty Lumpkins (54:44):
It's the Swiss army knife of the apocalypse.
>> Skylar (54:46):
That's right.
>> Quinn (54:47):
Maybe if we pee on it, it'll smell like a
human. And then we throw it out,
on here. Cut yourself.
>> Skylar (54:59):
Jeez, it got dark. all right, so,
Quinn, with your pair of scissors
equipped, Dave with his kind of
staff, chunk of a display, and Fatty
with his mannequin.
>> Quinn (55:12):
You all there's no way we die.
>> Skylar (55:15):
There's no way that you'll die. you open up the back
door and you make your way into the service
entrance, hoping to escape your current
predicament and hopefully get to a safer spot as
you disappear into the darkened hallways
within the inner sanctums of the mall.
And with that, we'll close out Episode one.
