Riiiight, long answer it is then. I'll just cover everything ya need to know about my kind, okay? Okay!
[ Exposition goooooooo!]
Okay so while Zombies do count as a liminal race or extra-species race or whatever ya wanna call 'em, we're more of an condition.
If I were ta bite ya or prick ya with a tooth of mine then ya'd turn into a zombie.... but only if you were already close to death that is. If you're in good health and not knocking on death's door, then my bite can't do shit 'cause the immune system can fight the virus off.
Otherwise, you're officially an super awesome zombie! There's a lotta downsides to your new pretty much immortality though. Like that ya pretty much can't feel any pain. I mean you still have pleasure, but if you're as torn up as me, then a little pain to let you know 'Hey Zombina, you're fucking hand's fallen off again!' might be convenient.
You don't heal either, so if you get any tears or injuries then ya either gotta sew it back up or get another part entirely. So if ya don't take good care of yourself, you'll end up looking like me! But as long as enough of your brain is still intact, then you can survive some serious bullshit.
[She gestures to her... everything.]
There's also rigor mortis. It'll happen if ya stay still too long. This makes sleep an huge pain in the ass though, 'cause if ya forget to do stretches before sleeping, then you'll be totally immobilized in the morning until someone massages ya.
[Zombina is speaking from experience there.]
And Blood, yeah, Y'aint really got that shit anymore. Thanks to science, modern Zombies get preservative fluids made to be as blood like as possible but are toxic as hell to everyone who's not a zombie. Ya need ta get it replaced every three weeks or you'll start to rot and shit.
You'll still be functional-well until you're not- but if ya don't get more, then your brain will rot and you'll be like the Early Zombies from before preservative technology and shit. I mean, you'll still be going, but all the Early zombies' who's brains' aren't entirely still there are at the level of being in the state of a dude who just woke up from sleep.
If they don't wanna rot anymore then they gotta stay inside a refrigerated room most of the the time and can only go out in the winter! A totally shitty and boring life in my opinion.
Sooo that's pretty much everything ya need to know about zombies Korra-chan!
