    ((Sounds cool!))
    Seth paused with his hand on the door handle. It was just barely ajar, and assuredly anything inside would be gone bad by now. And it had the smell. Not just the smell of soured milk and cream, but another one on top of that. He drew his knife and signaled Rye, slowly drawing the door open, just barely poking his head around the door so he could observe what was contained in the room of horrors.

    Rye withdrew a small pistol from her jacket and looked down the barrel.
    "Well, that's unfortunate," she said tartly.

    ((sorry for the essential one-liner. Thought I'd give you the description here.))

    ((No problem!))
    Seth finished pulling open the door once he had his peek. Didn't appear to be too much danger here, but clearly there was earlier. The body in here seemed to be keeping up a safe haven in the freezer, since armories are not usually kept in the back of little cafes. There was a little food, but not much, however it would do to come back here again soon, given it's proximity to home. However, these things would not be the first things to draw the trespassers attention. The body, looking bludgeoned to death and flat as a pancake in most places, was much too dead to become a vombie, however it wouldn't be one yet anyways. "Well, clearly no ordinary vomb took this guy out- and too bad we weren't earlier, we could have had another recruit!"

    ((So I'm thinking the thing from the sewer did it?))

    ((yes, good idea.))

    Rye whistled low. "Tough way to die...unless all that smooshing was done post." Sticking out her tongue, she grimaced and scrunched up her ungainly limbs. "Maybe it was some kind of wrestler, you know, before he became a vomb. Holy crap could you imagine a sumo-wrestler? Not that they'd be here... but still. Wow. And do we really want food that's been spiced with rotted corpse?"

    "Eh, I guess not, but I wouldn't say a rotten corpse could spice a bullet," Seth said, "unless it's haunted." His voice was clearly laced with sarcasm on the last word as he wiggled his fingers out at Rye. "But we might as well head back now."

    "Och, yeah." Rye turned towards the exit. "Better see how the bookworm is doing." Abruptly, she turned back. "Hold on a sec." Withdrawing a Swiss Army knife, she began hacking away at the fingers with the small retractable blade. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain," she mumbled, her tongue sticking out in a comical concentration expression.

    "Ahh!" Seth explained, heading over to Rye. "What are you doing to my corpse?" Despite the fact the head was already removed, he didn't want any more damage done to it before it could be inspected.

    ((sorry, should have specified fridge corpse... aha... my bad...))

    Rye stopped abruptly, glancing up with a peeved, then guilty expression. She slipped it into a pocket deftly.

    "Sorry. Used to being alone. You stop thinkin' about too much and start doin'." She juggled three fingers artfully. "Fingers won't do you any good," she joked, though she had no way of knowing. They could be important. "I'll... just... keep em' for later. Give em' to you back at the house. Let's go."

    With her fair share of their treasure, she made her way out the door and back onto the street.

    "Ahh, well, okay?" Seth said, laughing a little at the abnormality of asking someone not to maul the body next to him. How opposite of his plans this was, since he would have been dealing with the living, not the dead, and assuredly that request would never have to be made in an operating room. At least, he had never heard of it. He followed Rye to the street, hoping to make it home quickly as not to risk being interrupted and losing their gains.

    ((I was thinking skip back so we could get Sarah back into this. Will you summarize, or shall I?))
