Chapter 27- The Thirty-First Part 1

[Adventureless_Hero]

Yeah, the backstory on Ink is going to be very interesting, especially because CJ is going to be so motivated to get baypack.


Uh, just for clarity's sake, when we all refer to
- Ink
- Pinstripes
-The One With The Markings
- Bill Roberts


We are all talking about the same zombie dude, right? Perhaps you've seen him? Tall, blue, tattooed... snappy dresser... likes howling commands from rooftops??

Are you sure about that? Everyone has a different way to describe the Pimp Ass Zombie in their own way....No one has the same description...

That and I'm not sure if everyone has come to a general consensus that The One With Markings and Pinstripes/Ink are the same one. It seems likely but its unconfirmed. Remember even Angel and Kalani were demanding that answer from Skittles?

I have this badass mental image of a flesh toned behemoth with all these strange Aboriginal designs imbedded on it's skin as being The One with Markings while Pinstripes/Ink is a tall dude with green eyes and bluish skin, and tattoos.

This might seem a trivial question, but Saul and Victor found the "directions" to the garden at the tower rubble. Now that we know the garden was CJ's, who at the tower battle would've had those directions?

Not uberly trivial. Just may not ever get the answer until the series is over....

It honestly could be anyone since it was a freshly turned Zombie. One of CJ's people (though that is seeming pretty unlikely right now), a Maller, another group, but we know it can't be a Tower member. Saul would have recognized him most likely....

.....then again he also thought "It's Paul" was actually Paul....

Yeah, I agree. It seems likely that they are all one in the same, but we have no nail in that coffin yet

Oh yeah, not sure if we have discussed the chapter art. Is Ink going to come back or will he be discussed this chapter? Besides the snakes and various other bits and pieces there are a couple of interesting things I thought when I looked at it.
- The blue kind of staining over the hand. Is that because of being a zombie?
- The chemical structure drawing on the wrist and on the pinkie finger. Seems a weird thing to be tattooed on someone's hand without a reason to back it up. If this is ink I am guessing this might give us an insight into his back story.
Can anyone make out anything else of significance?

Here's the link
It seems a mix of concepts that are meaningful if you think he's the creator of the plague in some way. So, is he being possessed by a Voodoo Loa, or is he just rambly crazy?...or both?

[Blues_127]

An expieriment gone awry. No voodoo, bad science done on degenerates of society. The same thing happens in real life. That's my theory

Not convinced Pin stripe is tattoed/blue. Would trained soldiers used to looking for weapons not have noticed his hands? even with his back turned? I live in a bad neighborhood and always check peoples hands.

I feel that now it is virtually certain Kalani was the shooter, but unsure on rat. I think Saul and Victor will hear an incomplete story on Kalani as they only have a 3 day period where he was in contact with CJ to hear about, but Michael etc will hear everything from the journal. Speaking of journals, I think we will find out what Tanya found out from reading the journals at some point in this chapter, maybe as the end of chapter cliffhanger, as we are on the subject of journals so it would, in my opinion, be a logical step forward.

[Eviebae]

I'm sort of dreading this part of the story because I have a daughter and the inklings I have about what is going to happen tell me it will make me deeply unhappy.

[Th3_T3ch]

Win! I even got a very large portion of the details correct! Kalani is most certainly the shooter and can be assumed to be the rat! KC if you mess with my victory I will be very sad. Please tell me there are some Rep points coming my way.

Oh damn... really? I didn't even realize there had been any debate about it. All this time I've just assumed that this was all the same zombie dude with different names to go by. I mean, how many blue tattooed MFers can there really be walking about LA??!?

They've gotta all be the same guy. And I have a hunch the back -story on Bill Roberts (aka Ink aka Pintripes aka Pimp Daddy Zombie aka Hospital Psych-Ward Arrow-Catching Dude) is closely interlocked with the back story of how the Zombie Outbreak started in the first place... and it may be one of the last things revealed as the story finally comes to a close at Season 4.
