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.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Whatever would I busy myself doing in a lawless world full of panicking people?
Build a web-based discussion board?

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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!)

Hmm. Whatever would I busy myself doing in a lawless world full of panicking people?
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!

See, now there's a useful skill. ita can kill the squirrels, I'll tan the hides and make exfoliator, someone can stew the little bastards, and vw can patch them into attractive and life-giving blankies.
(If you saw the size of the squirrels in my neighborhood, you would understand why I am fixated on them as our post-Apoc herd animal.)

Jilli, look [link]
Hmmm. Pretty, but not quite the right color and not the right cut. I'm looking for something more cupcake-y pink, and school blazer-ish. But waist-length.
I love that everyone is listing their Apocalypse skills. It makes me giggle.
