have I told anyone about the zombie walk? I doubt I have; it was wonderously fun! My fake blood turned out very realistic, especially in the rain, and we had a bunch of people avoiding us, letting us go first, etc.
THE ZOMBIES
We were only six girls, total: two school teacher zombies with crayons stabbed in their faces and peeling skin, two green-faced zombies, a blood splattered young zombie, and a recently dead zombie/victim. Wanna guess which one is me?
BUBBLE TEA
Before going on the official zombie walk, Rachelle and I braved the cold rain for bubble tea. In full costume and make-up. Which basically meant that two zombie looking characters, one looking like she had just murdered and eaten a bunch of people with fresh blood still dripping off her chin, walked into one of the most popular art student hangouts, and casually ordered bubble tea to go.
JESUS TOLD ME SO!
Also before leaving on the walk, we joked over the fact that I made fake blood in a bowl that says "Jesus loves me".
ON THE STREETS!!
On the streets, we ran into singular guys mostly dodged our hands and kept on walking. One guy stopped, a bit unsure, and then as we started to crowd around him, he brushed off our hands, patted a few of us (including me) on the back, and got out of the way. Giggling, we went on with the walk.
PIRATES!
As we reached the plaza, we pressed our faces to the windows, moaning "braaaaaaaaaaaaaains", and at one point we passed a guy dressed as Jack Sparrow. We changed our moans to "Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack", until he was out of reach.
The funniest part is that we met up with him later at our destination coffee pub.
COFFEE!!!
When we entered the coffee pub, one of the staff exclaimed "Oh no! We're not prepared for zombies yet!" The staff was amused that we all crowded around the dessert display. I pointed, and cheerfully said out-of-character "they got PIE!!!"
At the register, there was occassional conversations that went sort of like this:
Staff: And what would you have?
zombie: braaaaaaaaaaains
staff: I'm sorry, but we're out. Would you like something else?
zombie: braaaaaaaaaaains
Some how they managed to order while keeping in character. As for me, I can't keep a straight face without intense concentration, so I just fell out of character and ordered regularly: a piece of lemon meraguie (bleh, spelling) and hot chocolate. I'd had a chocolate craving all night, thanks to the fake blood dripping off my chin.
When we got our orders of cake and pie, we were warned by the staff that if we started eating the rest of the customers, we'll be thrown out.
Apparently, it is not kindly looked upon to eat people as they are dining.
SKIFFY
While we made due with cake and coffee, we took a few pictures, which I'll hope to display soon. Afterwards, Rachelle and I begged pardon of the return walk, gathered our things and went on Laurier, where we appeared at SKiFFY to scare the drunks. A couple of them actually asked me whether I was okay and whether I needed help.
I watched some of the shows, and scratched some of the fake blood off. I'm still certain that there's fake blood on my glasses. Man, is it hard to get off!
Good times, good times. Now I must get back to this assignment due at 8:30 am.
