There was no escape in sight. As far as anyone could tell, they were all stuck here on this mysterious floating island for the time being, and they would have to make do with what they could find. You'd think they would be well off in an AWESOME MANSION, except that the mansion is... a little worse for wear. Okay, a LOT worse for wear. The place was a mess.

Flurrie would not stand for it.

A woman of her tastes and sensibilities would be all for living it up in a huge, fancy mansion, but certainly not one in this state. And so, she took some initiative. Early one morning, she found a megaphone and stood outside the front of the mansion, barking orders loudly to the other inhabitants.

"EVERYONE GET OUT HERE, PRONTO!!"

Once everybody was gathered (as gathered as they were able to at this time of day, anyway), she yelled a little less:

"All right, everyone! I think we've been lounging around long enough! This place is an absolute disaster, and I cannot abide it another minute. Today I proclaim that we're going to make this mansion spic and span! And we're not going to stop until it sparkles! Now who's with me~?"

[HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: Step 1: Pick a location. Step 2: CLEAN THAT SHIT. Step 3: Tag around and help clean the mansion YAAAY! OR, you can do none of the above and screw around the entire time! YAAAY?]

Billy dropped his arms and sighed before running a hand through his hair a bit annoyed. "Well fuck me, it's like a bad game or anime all of a sudden." He wasn't big into them, but he was known to casually watch one or play one in his liesure time when he didn't feel like hitting the bar or the other more common fun places for him.

"Well, at least that sounds more pleasant than zombies and B.O.W.'s." Cause he definitely didn't want to face those again unless he had to. Now that he knew that at least he wasn't dead, he stretched a hand out to Joel and nodded. "Billy Coen." He'd leave the military bit out, it didn't have any place in this... whatever the hell this was.

Joel grabbed the hand and gave it a firm shake.

"I'm Joel."

...wait, Zombies?

"Zombies. As in... actual undead folks?"

Billy returned the shake in turn and gave it a firm one as well before pulling back and nodding. "Yeah, wouldn't have believed this myself if I hadn't been shucked into the middle of that nightmare..." He looked back and sighed.

"Hell, I almost flipped when I found myself in another mansion. A lot of the hell I went through took place in one like this. Clean though, this one seems to have been forgotten a long time ago."

"I get you. It was kind've the same where I'm from. Not, ah... not zombies though. Infected, we called 'em. Fungal infection called cordyceps. Kept the infected alive and eating, but every time I describe 'em to folks here, I get told they're basically zombies that breathe."

He never would have believed it possible either before September of 2013.

"This old place is in serious need of repair. In a past life, I was a tradesman so I'm doin' what I can."

"Well fuck," Billy replied, hands in his jeans as he relaxed back and looked up in thought. "Who would have thought, from okay movie monsters to real life and world ending threats huh? And even where you came from?" He shook his head and looked over again. "And now we're in a mansion... on a floating island I heard? With..." He looked over and still couldn't believe some of the... things? That lived here. "Well, you know."

"Yeah, it floats, alright." Joel replied with a nod and a sigh. "Don't ask me to explain how because I ain't got the damndest clue. But it's a mansion on a floating Island. Woods are full of regular animals, monsters and stuff that sits squarely in between the two. There's a lake."

Hopefully the lake had no monsters in it.

Billy sighs... "I bet the lake has monsters too... Ended up in a damn set of movies apparently." He finally just shrugged and let a deep breath go before grabbing some tools too.

"Well, might as well make this place more pleasant while I figure a way back to Raccoon."

"Back to... Raccoon?" Joel asked, quirking an eyebrow and handing his new partner in carpentry a hammer of his own.

"Yeah, it's the city that I was heading to after the mansion incident." He grabbed the hammer and began on the fixing. "The person I rescued and worked with during the incident said she came from there and I was going to see if she made it safely. We went different ways after escaping..." Due to reasons he didn't want to get into. "But we promised we'd meet up again after. And then this happened." he motioned to this mansion.
