I did it, I'm mad, oh well whatever. If anyone wants to give me thoughts about what could be a very very random weapon Steve could use to kill zombies, do so! it's going to be what I amuse myself with the most in this story.

No real plot or anything, but whatever. I sorely blame somehowunbroken and shinysylver. It's their fault.

As for the Bakery!AU of DOOM, have a progress bar:



Yep. In two days.

This fandom will be the death of me, for serious.

I'm smiling like a great big smiley thing right now. :D :D

Random weapons Steve can use:
-a frying pan
-the Marquis
-a fire extinguisher
-broken off bits of other zombies
-the towel rod from his bathroom

I'm sure there are many others, too.

Also, I am sincerely impressed with your progress on the Bakery AU of Doom, and am really, really looking forward to the outcome :D

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Broken bits of other zombies! Yes! BONES.

I have a few already lined up - most are actual weapons though, but of the very random variety. Mehehe.

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, Zombiebang? What the hell. XD

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Yes! Words and words of Steve and Danny killing zombies, Ellen! it will be SO MUCH FUN.

[wyvernwolf.livejournal.com]

You're doing the zombiebang! :D

Random things? Uhm, his iPhone? Danny's tie?

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oh no, Danny's tie will get enough blood on it as it is! XD. His phone, hmmmmmmm, now this I can work with XD.

[gehirnstuerm.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaay! :D

ETA:

Oh, and I'm fond of office supplies used as weapons. Pens. Folders. And staplers, of course *g*

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

OH OH PENS AND STAPLERS! Steve is squirming with happiness in my head.

[everywherestars.livejournal.com]

Tennis racquet or a golf club, which has the added bonus of letting him gleefully yell 'FORE!' everytime he swings it at a zombie.

Are you in the need of an artist? Since your fics and ideas inspire my drawing muse something terrible, I'd really like to do some for the story if you'll let me!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

You can check the comm! There is only a small number of artists, so you can look at it? =DDDDD

[miss-tartie.livejournal.com]

Shave Ice! *g* maybe it gives the Zombie's brain freeze and allows Steve to take them down?

Gracie's Dolphin Trainer Barbie thing, promoting a Danny rant about how he's going to have to go buy another one because now it's all covered in Zombie goo.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oh oh yeaaaahhh barbies! Muehehehehehe oh, so much fun.

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

Coconuts! I can just see Steve lobbing them at zombies like footballs.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

*puts down on list* OH YEAH, I HAVE A LIST.

[bhayling.livejournal.com]

Heh. :-) Well, long-standing zombie lore is that you gotta de-brain 'em to stop 'em, so massive head trauma or decapitation is the goal.

(Woody Harrelson in Zombieland comes to mind as inspiration). ;-)

Hmmm... ya know, a good older model of upright vacuum cleaner packs a pretty substantial punch when swung like a sledge hammer! Also, if the power cord's stout enough, you can whip the thing around like a giant slingshot. :-D

Oooh! Of course! Yard tools! Sledge hammer; pick-axe; shovel or spade.

Cast iron skillet's good, definitely.

Exercise equipment can come in handy -- barbells, dumbells, kettle-bells (which would be great for wallopping zombies, as there's a nifty handle on one end and a nice big round ball of iron on 'tother), weight plates flung like frisbees from hell...

Pie-pan sized concrete stepping stone? Better for dropping than swinging or flinging, but efficacious in the right circumstances.

Hmmm... kind of slow-moving and unlikely to be found in HI, but a combine harvester has promise. :-)

For the note of whimsy... mowing a path through a few zombies with a Mister Softee ice-cream truck, complete with bobbing cone or Mr. Softee on top, while the tinkling ear-worm muzak tootles on?

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, there is going to be de-braining, definitely! I agree that it's the way zombies should die!

The idea of a vaccuum cleaner is making me snigger with glee XD. Good ideas! I will most definitely use some of these, they're in my list already! =DDD

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

I think Steve should MacGyver up some kind of electrical...something and shock the zombies. I'm thinking of that scene in the Sherlock Holmes movie (assuming you've seen it) where Holmes touches the dude with that electrical rod and sends him flying backwards.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I have seen it! And Steve would definitely turn into McGyver - make a bomb out of orange juice and matchsticks...

[maab-connor.livejournal.com]

we know that Steve has a garage full of shiny tools, many of them sharp too. and we know that he had to repair after the shootout. So what about a circ saw or a sawsall? OH! or a band saw.

plus, he's a SEAL, he might be able to get a sharp enough garotte. mind you, that is a might closer than i would want to get...

OH! or - omg i have finally cracked - a timing belt for the Marquis. i have no idea how that would work, or how long it would take to get the gore out of the engine block so that you didn't have eau de zombie whenever you drove it... but i have this, like, vision of a zombie losing it's head under the hood of the Marquis.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

These are almost too conventional weapons for this! A saw, though, a manual, old school, a little rusty, saw, yes, I want.

A timing belt, THIS, THIS I WANT SFM.

They're walking, not using any vehicles (they gave up trying to hotwire them after too many were out of gas/broken down).

[shinysylver.livejournal.com]

I can't believe no one has said surfboard! Danny would really hate that. Oh and his spear fishing spear. And a scuba diving oxygen tank complete with explosions!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

A surfboard! Stick it with the pointy end, or use a fish - perfect for beheading if wielded with enough strength.

[kitsune-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Oh, so many choices in weapons! It depends on where they are, but I'm a fan of nail guns or power drills, not to mention ice picks and other kitchen implents, but they're really only effective at dangerously close range. (Ahahaha, there's always a pineapple slicer/corer! :D) This site might be helpful, and the comments here have some fantastic ideas for improvising weapons from household items for zombie defense.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Omg, GENIUS WEBSITES.

A PINENAPPLE SLICER. A POWER DRILL.

Tbh close range is fine, Steve will get a lot of blood over his face. I plan on giving him some knuckle dusters at some point.

Good lord if I start digging into that stuff I will just keep on finding weapons for them and not actually writing the story where they actually get to use this stuff! And it's only 5K! XD AHAH I LOVE.

[bhayling.livejournal.com]

OOooh, okay, we know Steve's Mister Improvisation, so how about DIY grenade bolas to be whipped at zombie necks? One part hand grenade, two parts equal weight of either lead plumb bobs or fishing-line weights? He'd need a crate of grenades, some twine or heavy-weight fishing line, and the weights -- fishing line weights for easy assembly, plumb bobs for whimsy (and some electrical tape to wrap around the grenades as a safety precaution, as we've seen him do with flash-bangs and hand grenades.

So he'd need to be able to get into an armory for the grenades -- maybe at Pearl, or at Schofield Barracks, or some similar military facility? The Marine base on the northeast side of the island? And into a good hardware or sporting goods store for the other materiel.

He'd have to have his timing down pretty well to be able to pull the pin, whip the bolas up to speed, aim and release with time left for it to wrap around the zombie neck and go boom. :-)

Oh! Oh! :-D A good old-fashioned sickle or scythe, like the one Death seems to favor! :-D Good reach, excellent head-lopping qualities...

Oooohhh... how about rigging a rooftop jumbo slingshot and using garden gnomes -- the pointy ends especially -- as projectiles? Or, close-in, swinging the gnomes by the pointy hat end and using the bottom to knock zombie blocks off. ;-)

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oh God, just writing the building and using of that one weapon would take me 5000 words ;D. It's a brilliant idea though! I have set them up on a pretty particular path - they're going down Ala Moana Blvd and they're staying there, so most of the weapons they'll get will be from dead corpses, shops and abandoned cars. Which is already giving them (and me) quite an arsenal!

[bhayling.livejournal.com]

If Steve's using things that come to hand as they walk around from point to point... traditional metal mailboxes? He'd have to perfect his technique for uprooting them, but they'd swing pretty well. Not sure if the thin metal of the box would serve very well as a bludgeon, but if you laid it on the ground and stomped it flat, you could use the open end as an admittedly blunt axe. :-)

Oh! Patio umbrella poles and bases! Swing 'em like a sledge hammer and aim the base at zombie noggins.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

He's going to poke holes in many of them!

Grill tongs. Danny's a baseball player, right?

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I fail to understand, but that might well be because I'm not American - what are grill tongs in relation to baseball?

[(Anonymous)]

Will there be excerpts from Danny's terribly sarcastic Apocalyptic Log?

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

There will be ranting - it's in Steve's pov, though. And since I plan on making it one long scene (because it'd fit the scenario) I won't switch POVs, but there will undeniably be ranting!
