AWKWARD ZOMBIE

"...Yup." Joe backs away from the group, and then walks out of the plaza.

Whitney watched the bird leave with a neutral expression on her face. "Wonder what's gotten his feathers all rustled," she mused.

"He didn't even take his umbrella. What's up with him?" Punchy pondered, before sneezing again.

Joe looked up at the sky, then back at the plaza, shook his head and then walked home.

Diana picks up an umbrella once she leaves the tent, and goes to find Whitney. Upon finding the wolf, she waved, trying to flag her down. "Whitney, do you have a few minutes?"

"Hm?" Whitney turned and smiled sweetly. "Yes, did you want to speak to me about something?"

Pierce turns to Coco.

"I don't think we've gotten too acquainted yet, sport. Why don't we talk a walk and chat for a bit?"

Coco nods enthusiastically. "Care to lead the way, doroing?"

"I saw a spot over by the lake that we could chat at, sport. There's a tree that would keep us fairly dry."

Pierce offers Coco a spare umbrella and they walk to the lake.

Coco happily accepts the Umbrella, keeping close to Pierce. "You're Percy, right?"

Pierce lets out a laugh.

"Close, rookie, close. The name's Pierce."

Pierce looks as if something has just struck him.

"Say, you mentioned the other day that you consider yourself a witch, not a Wiccan. What did you mean by that?"

"Yes, I do," Diana answers with a nod. "It's about the book you found yesterday. I put something together last night that might just pick that lock on it, if you want me to try." Her mouth quirks up a bit. "I am the Super high-village level crafter, after all."
