You live in New York? That must be the exact opposite of the place where I live; Devon is in the South of England and is pretty much nothing but farms and forests! We have a few cities, but none that are very big! Hopefully the time difference won't affect us too much, I'm very obsessive so whenever I'm not at work I'll be able to post, and hopefully in my breaks too if we are that active (which I hope we are)!
A zombie RP? Sounds like fun!! I love horror films and zombies!! I love your cat names, they make sense! All of my animals are named after gods and demons from various mythologies, which gets a little awkward when people constantly ask "...What does that mean?" But, as for Primeval names, I got a new car today, and I have called him Connor!!
Slash is great, go for it! I have no problems with that!
