In Midgard, Zero is in her hut, completely stressed out, and what's worse, she does not have the author or the disciples to relieve her and the intoners as the Authors are writing the next chapters into both their stories and lives while the disciples are hitting the casinos in Vegas(save for Octa who's busy mingling with the escorts and harlots).
Zero: Ugh, for **** sake! I'm so stressed out, and I don't have any of the Authors to relieve stress and do hundreds of rounds with!
Mikhail: Hey, Zero! I found Rodney, and I brought him here to our home!
Zero: YES! My stress will finally be relieved!!!
Mikhail: *Brings in and shows Zero a Magically revived Zombified corpse of the comedian Rodney Dangerfield*
Zero: *SLAMS THE TABLE IN ANGER* F #@!!!!
*Meanwhile in Black Mesa with Me, (Y/n)(Soldier of YoRHa), Lycoris and Barney*
Me(Rodney): Hey, guys, You wanna go to the cafeteria so that I can buy you beer once your shifts are done?
Barney: You just read my mind.
Lycoris: You betcha!
Soldier of YoRHa (Y/n): I'll take water and a soda. But, sure.
Otis: Ugh, you wouldn't mind if you could buy me a donut, would you?
Barney: *knowing Otis already ate about 50 donuts for the day, just gives off an annoyed sigh*
