I figured they just looked armless because their arms were tied up. I. E. normal faceless.

As you right yourself, you see a Faceless, a good distance to your left, on the lip of the crater. Not either of the ones from before. He is carrying a body. Not with the arms, which remain pinned against the chest and torso, but with the vines.
...
In the distance, you can see upright armless figures moving in the crater amongst the bodies and worms.

Are you agreeing with the normal faceless idea?

McFrugal · « **Reply #763 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:23:54 PM »

Ohhh, they pin their arms. I forgot. I wonder if that's because the host retains some control over the arms, or if it's just for convenience, since they use the vines for environmental manipulation.

Oh, and I support the "blow Jacob off and Xray everyone" option. If he's human he'll have to take our word for it that the hallucinations aren't interesting enough to talk about, and if he's not... Well at this point he knows we still have worms inside us, and we don't know what kind of answer he's looking for anyway. If he's not human he probably already knows David suspects him.

To be honest the only way we could screw this up is by exposing Nicole to the wrong person before the situation is under control. I don't think she's a threat.

It seems like either a) they're normal faceless that left their arms inert, or just lost the arms (due to "giving them away" as they use the vines and arms unused are wasted meat) or b) Friday is foreshadowing the existence of some kinda tier 2 faceless with slightly better stats. I lean towards "a."

I noticed no one wants to talk to Nicole, so I'll throw it out there. I mean, we've known her longer than anyone else since the boom, and we don't know what her deal is. If she's not prophetic anymore, we should be able to discern this pretty quickly.

There's still something troubling me...

Quote

David gestures to the front door. You turn and look out a window to see Jacob and Nicole out on the lawn, throwing a Frisbee back and forth.

Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to play Frisbee during the zombie apocalypse? I know the zombies are slow, but how the hell is taking an injured girl outside seen as a logical move? And fuck if I would want to play Frisbee with an injured shoulder, for christ's sake. We should make sure she's not magically healing as well.

Brentai · « **Reply #766 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:29:54 PM »

Hey yeah. Unless it's been already mentioned we should probably check up on Nicole's injury.

sei · « **Reply #767 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:31:28 PM »

Seconding check up on Nicole's injury.

McFrugal · « **Reply #768 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:32:10 PM »

Oh man, I just remembered to check something that had been bothering me.

1. ...come with us?"

Nicole nods, and lifts her arms up at you.

"Up," she says.

Quote from: Friday on September 25, 2008, 02:53:05 PM

"How's Nicole? Is she asleep?"

"Well, yes. She's resting now. She did wake up once. She seemed a bit dazed, which is understandable. Asked where you were. I told her you were out trying to get us electricity."

"Her arm?"

"I put it in a sling. It should heal, though I don't think she'll be able to lift her arm past her shoulder for the rest of her life."

On a note with checking on her wounds. I know she's not at the top of the list, but if we did X-ray her, that'd certainly tell us about her shoulder.

McFrugal · « **Reply #770 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:34:42 PM »

So basically that means whatever Nicole is/was, and shared with us, has regenerative effects.

It's a good bet Jacob is allied with Nicole as well, since he would've noticed this kind of thing.

Jacob said the bullet missed the bone, so I don't know how helpful an x-ray would be for that.

Are you saying Nicole's gathering up a posse?

In place of a dark lord... you would have a queen!

Not dark but as beautiful and terrible as the dawn!

Tempestuous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the Earth!

All shall love me and despair!!!

McFrugal · « **Reply #774 on:** September 30, 2008, 03:53:34 PM »

Well actually I forgot about Nicole's comment about Jakey smelling like blood sooo... I'm kinda confused. It might be that old tactic of wolves accusing wolves, though.

Air · « **Reply #775 on:** September 30, 2008, 04:00:41 PM »

I had a cat named Jakey. He was a real dick. Jacob is infected. Talk to David, and find out ~~if he's liked it~~ if he knows about another kind of faceless.

But the most likely hour for Nicole to infect Jacob was still before her most recent, obviously useful, prophetic statement.

And yeah... Friday... Friday definitely did not miss that point. That's a REAL good catch.

But... why would they try and play off each other like that? It doesn't... Well, we'll make it clear pretty damned quick with a little work.

Throwing in my vote for giving the X-Ray to everyone.
