Want to become a high-ranking member of my cult?
See? It's already starting!
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I wonder what my Apocaplyse Skill Set would be?
I actually took survival classes in AK, so I'm all prepared for nuclear winter! Um, I can direct entertaining shows? Oh! I can work on gas-powered motors! Yes. Especially if they're older, which will be an asset if EMPs take out the computer governors in new cars. Right.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. Whatever would I busy myself doing in a lawless world full of panicking people?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I could identify the CHUDs. And cook over an open fire.
This conversation is making me eager to see the new version of I am Legend.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Alexia has a list (and, IIRC, a spreadsheet) for What We Need If The Apocalypse Happens.There's a spreadsheet. And fascinating cocktail party conversation.
Can I join the cult? Wait ... haven't I *already* joined the cult?

I say "fuck you" with the greatest amount of mirth while shaking my head at having walked right into that one.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am actually pretty good at camping. And I am pretty no-nonsense; I would probably make a pretty heartless looter. And Teppy's right; I would be kick-ass at going through a library and picking out all the most valuable information and/or memorizing shit.
Being an insomniac, a good night watchperson (for the CHUD's). And with a reliable ita-type person around, I would develop pretty quickly into an efficient, but not first-rate infantrytype killerperson.
Also good with the heart-stirring rhetoric for the leadership/cult skillz, and I can figure I can whip up some exfoliator, using some of our leftover preserving salt, rendered squirrel fat and rose petals! (We'll keep the rose hips back for scurvy prevention!)

Um, I already have you listed as Bodyguard and Designated Hitter (and Kicker, and General Bad Ass). I hope you don't mind.

Yes, you have. No escaping for you, missy!
