US researchers continue to spend time collecting blood from willing immune residents of Austin with the help of local medical professionals. So far, findings are inconclusive, but the researchers appreciate the help of Austin's citizens! Leave a comment to this post if your immune character would donate blood.
Buffy The Zombie Hunter
Blood isn't the only thing they're studying, though. Researchers have now reached the point in which live cultures and samples will be needed -- from actual zombies!
Despite the skepticism of many, the government will approve a select few number of persons to secure zombies for research purposes. Soldiers and law enforcement are encouraged to apply for the position, though civilians are not formally prohibited from applying. All applicants must pass a rigorous physical examination and preferences are given to those who are already immune. Leave a comment to this post if your character would apply.
What's Next?
The Greenbelt Arsonists are taken into APD custody and revealed to be none other than Marc and Leo Russo -- oops! They'll face trial later in the month and their fates are currently unknown, but the Greenbelt is safe for now while portions of the rest of Austin grapple with what the implications of their motives say about themselves.
It's Easy Being Green
Taking a leaf from Chicago, IL's book, the Colorado River is turned a temporary shade of green for St. Patrick's Day. Whether the green tint makes it into local water supply too is to be determined, but highly probable.
In order to commemorate the occasion, The Bar will also throw a very festive party. Don't forget your greenery!
