“This is a miracle!”
“Hey, you know the interesting thing about infection-based zombie outbreaks?”
“We should be able to synthesise a cure in months!”
“Hours, once my pharma people get on the line. Anyway I just thought it fits the mortal concept of humour that many magic-based necromancers would have no more inherent power against a zombie horde that is NOT animated by mystical energies, that they would be against an ordinary angry mob-“
“What’s he talking about? Oh god, did we take too much blood? Stay with us!”
“-while, I don’t know, a DRUID or something might be able to eventually reach an understanding with the infection with their nature-communing ways. Decay is just an extant form of life, you know?”
“Yeah he’s definitely delirious. Sir we’re stopping the tests now, just hang in there!”
“Look all I’m saying is, I’ve seen so many zombie outbreaks by now that I’m surprised not ONE of them is caused by a druid gone mad with power instead of either a necromancer or a weird pathogen. None of this will make sense of you because of your limited experience with the true nature of reality, but I don’t have anything to do and you need me staying still here so I get to do what I want, and right now I want to contemplate the role of the strong anthropic principle in assigning nasty meat stuff to the mystical forces of death, and happy meat stuff but more consistently plant stuff over animals to the mystical forces of life”
The medical personnel stared helplessly at me, convinced I’d gone insane.
“And no, the megamycete doesn’t count” I added. “It’s not TECHNICALLY witchcraft, it’s just LARPing really hard”
