I have ... no idea what you're talking about. Animated gifs? I dunno how to make those and I'm no artist anyway.

Ach, forget about it... It was a stupid idea, anyway...

Hold on. I could sift through the resources I'm using on the RPG Maker to get you guys some avatars. They aren't moving pictures but they do come from RPG's and there are a few that would suit your RP characters.
I could maybe make a very short game starring those characters (there'd only be one area, understand; it won't be like a proper game; just walk around and talk to people/get into fights); what do you think?

Animated gifs aren't hard with the right software, but the point of the RP is that it's all imaginative. The second you start using visual aids you're only to steps shy of LARPing. Now there's a realm you won't catch me dead in.
Unless it was Indiana Jones LARPing and we were actually in South America. Maybe.

Eh, there's nothing wrong with a few icons for visual aids. Adds comedic value sometimes.
But I am totally down with this South America Indy LARP. We'll need those hats from Thinkgeek, though.

I just thought it'd be nice to have a picture for our characters so everyone else knows what we all look like in our own minds.
But I can't draw either, so never mind...

Oh, yeah! Goddamn, good thing you're here to keep us from the abyss, Pete. Though a crowd of people LARPing that they are a zombie horde and then finding lone drunks to pursue would be an exception to the rule.

Fuck, I'm totally turned round on the subject. We should definitely do that.

We'd need a few volunteers to wear a gut-bag, from which organs would be torn for consumption, y'know, to sell the illusion of being real zombies.

Chances are that someone we do that to will happen to not only be genre savvy, but also be armed - thus shooting us in the head. Twice. (Rule #2: The double tap)

Ah, to prevent that eventuality we have our very own action hero turn up. Their gun is full of blanks and the zombies can all have squibs attached. It would freak out the drunks to no end.

Then he'd say to the drunk, after pretend-gunning us all down: "Come with me if you want to live!"
Also, set up a few ghetto blasters playing tapes of echoing zombie noises to finish the illusion that the city is, in fact, full of zombies.

Why do I get the idea that if we did this, we'd somehow, through a very convoluted and surprising series of events, end up setting off a real zombie apocalypse?

I'm prompting an intervention right now. I DO NOT want to see any zompocalypse stories appearing at the first meeting or on the forum. It will ruin this prank and I want to do this.
Thing To Do Before I Die #63: Make the Front Page of a National Newspaper. We do this outside The Press Bar on Albion St. and I reckon we can be on the front page of a hell of a lot of newspapers.
