[voice] now you're just some zombie that I used to know

The dead seem to be rather lively as of late, but I wonder how the living are faring? I certainly hope you haven't run into someone you used to know. It'd be unfortunate to finally be reunited with someone you lost long ago, only to have to brutally murder them with your own hands.

Is anyone planning on attending the Great Race this year? It's quite a spectacle. If last year is any indication, you'll even get a chance to pay Davy Jones your respects in person, maybe prepare a thank you gift for his generosity in allowing us so many visitors as of late.

[Robin giggles at this, the horrors of the night seeming far away in full daylight.]

Let's make up a wishlist, perhaps if we all work together we can manage to send a message. If you could give any gift to our undead benefactor, what would it be? I think a knife through his blackened, beating heart would adequately show my gratitude. What do you think?

Uh, well. There were strategies. I mean, we had to fight our way into his castle for one thing. But I ain't a strategist, I'm the guy they point at the enemy and say 'go get 'em!' so...it's entirely possible the pack of strategists we had did somethin' behind us while we were fightin'.

Most of it was seein' how many of us it took to whale on him until he went down, though. Every time he knocked somebody down, another jumped in to take their place.

Hmm. Well that doesn't spell very good odds for us now, does it? I wonder if that's how the zombies feel right now. Sending wave after wave at us and we just keep knocking them back, all through the night, but there's always someone new to take their place.

It's a legit strategy - Lu Meng managed to get that much through my thick head. But it's ain't the best one, depending on what you're goin' up against. I seen sheer power get overcome by the right strategy - hell, I been there. I took a hundred men against ten thousand and won, once. But I had a lotta smart guys behind me tellin' me what to do.
