A Lovely Mess

Day 19, L'manberg

The air in Lmanberg was cold, there was an ongoing cabinet meeting involving Wilbur, Bad and Puffy.

"The reductioners are due any day now and your friends aren't back with david!" Puffy exclaimed clearly upset by the situation.
"Puffy, you need to give them a chance" Bad sighed, he was animated with the way he spoke, using his hands to get his point across
"Halo's right. it's only been a couple of days and iowa is an arse to get to" Wilbur tapped his pen against the wooden table infront of him.

The door swung open, foolish rushed in seeming worried.

"Foolish we're in the middle of a meeting" Bad frowned shaking his head, disapproving of Foolish's rude interruption.

"No- this is important i swear" Foolish panted trying to catch his breath.

"What's so important you couldn't wait until after the meeting" Wilbur sighed

"El rapids fell"
"What?!" Puffy exclaimed
"El Rapids? That can't be right we had contact with them literally this morning." Wilbur attempted to mentally break down the information he'd received.
"They aren't even in disagreements with rival factions, is there a new enemy we need to look out for" Halo looked through the papers infront of him, every other faction that they were aware of had been named with lists of their members and leaders.

"They say it was a zombie whisperer"
"Pfft-" Wilbur had to stop mid sentence due to laughter over taking him "- thats the most ridiculous thing i've heard today!"
"No- seriously! They said that the Z's didn't touch him, neither were they bothered by his presence. One of the guards that escaped had said that he had summoned an entire board seemingly out of nowhere! He apparently looked scary as hell- something about his eyes"
"And the plot thickens! Foolish, you seriously interrupted our meeting for some folk tale" Wilbur groaned, adjusting his posture and straightening his back.

"Seriously, El rapids fell in minutes. 95% of the people living there were dead within five minutes!" Foolish exclaimed, beginning to get upset at the fact that the people ruling the town were disregarding the information he was telling them.
"Hm, if you're certain. Well, keep an eye out for this-" He paused making air quotes with his fingers "zombie whisperer"

"Yes sir" Foolish exited the building, shutting the door behind him.

"God, people really believe anything theyre told these days" Puffy chuckled
"It's all a bunch of malarkey, petty rumours created just for conversation." Wilbur chuckled
"What if it's true" Bad raised an eyebrow, biting his inner cheek.
"I've never doubted something more, just don't get yourself worked up about it, we've got bigger things to be concerned 'bout" Wilbur shrugged, taking his trench coat and standing.
"hm, if you insist" bad sighed
"Well, i need to check that hannah's doing alright she's been a little on edge since sam went on the run" Puffy smiled leaving the room.

Wilbur also left, leaving bad alone.

He picked up a bible and left the room entering the main church area, he sat on a bench, looking up at the jesus statue pinned in the center of the wall.

"Lord, would you really create all of his suffering for no reason" He looked down to the bible, brushing his finger over the hard back.

He sighed, wondering what was truth and what was a lie these days
