Clinking of glasses sounded out from an out of the way table in the Winchester pub, in Crouch End. Logan, Akane, and Leah enjoyed a nice cold glass of beer as they watched the male and female lead having a heart to heart as their friends chimed in the background from time to time. Ed, Shaun's childhood friend, was giving the finger to the three's table after finding Logan's name holding the high score on the pub's pinball machine. Akane gave the big man the finger back as Logan ignored the jester entirely. Akane had him win the game just to fuck with the cast to spice up the story, and put them in it for a bit.
"Didn't take you for a pinball player Logan," Leah said while chewing on some corn nuts.
"He's not," Akane said, taking another sip of her beer, "he's just really good at games."
"Oh so you're a gamer?" Leah said and Logan shook his head.
"No, Akane's the one who plays regularly, I mostly watch or play when she needs a partner for co-op" Logan said while flicking his eyes at Ed cursing up a storm trying and failing to beat Logan's score.
"Yeah, he's just naturally good at games even though he hates them," Akane said, grabbing some of Leah's corn nuts. "Not just skill games either! Trivia, charades, board, and even drinking games he dominates. He doesn't even like to drink!" Logan pats his wife's head as she whines at the facts present and hating it. Leah watches her new friends, and possible partners going forward, with a growing smirk as Logan's petting has a calming effect on Akane. Eventually she's giggling at the byplay as Akane leans into his hand for more petting.
"Wow, all you need is fake ears and a tail and you would make a perfect cat girl Akane" Leah says at the end of her laughter. Logan freezes and Akane, embracing the comment, looks as though she's caughten the Cannaire. Sliding away from Logan and into Leah she purrs on purpose this time as her eyes grow big and excited.
"I'm so glad you say that, cause body modification is possible for us now" Akane says looking back at Logan. "And those modifications aren't too expensive, and will be in our price range going forward after these movies." Logan sighs as he looks at his wife and then to Leah who's realized she opened up something the two have put away for a bit already.
"It was just a comment really, something off the hand is all, I-" Leah starts as Logan's eyes barrel down on her. It made her rub her legs together as that look was fresh from last night with the two. Yet Akane's finger finds it's way to her lips to stop the tirade and she looks to Logan who looks away, and back to the main group of the film. Akane then hugs and snuggles Leah as she leans in and whispers into her ear.
"Don't let the look get to you too much, he's actually very into the idea and just doesn't let himself indulge like me. Honestly, with you around we could likely beat him down enough for me to get the upgrades." Akane's warm breath in her ear made Leah's breath a bit ragged as she nodded along with the woman. When she felt the hand questing down to her pants she started to heat up.
"Akane," Logan said looking back at the two. Akane moved away with the hand in question raised up and away with a grin. Leah breathed better but felt a little disappointed. She bit her lip as she looked down and grew red from the embarrassment of how plyable the Japanese woman made her. Then she remembered how Logan used her last night and she grew hot again, making Akane laugh as she pulled the blushing woman into another hug.
"No need to be embarrassed about being submissive Leah," Akane said, brushing the girl's hair. "You saw my Switch of an ass last night bending for Logan, and loving it!"
"Yeah, it's just..." Leah says, hugging the smaller woman back.
"Embrace who you are Leah" Logan said looking at the two. "Your past isn't a factor anymore and you can be who you want to be now. I mean, you saw the porno table right?" Leah nodded and then shivered.
"Yeah, that's too much by the way" she said quickly. "I'll wear a styled collar for you two, but I'm not a gimp suit chair." Logan frowned in disgust at the memory and Akane laughed nervously at the comment.
"Agreed on that point" the couple said in unison. After the small heart to heart the three just talked about hobbies, passions, and regular date stuff as they enjoyed the two days of the town before the story got started.
#####
The second day started early as Akane, in nothing but Logan's shirt and a pair of panties, was writing on one of the walls of the apartment they woke up in.
"Okay, so considering the slow moving and dumb zombies of this movie were going to go over the plan for tomorrow." Logan and Leah were following along while sitting on a couch eating some breakfast takeout from a local restaurant. "I'll start by saying that this movie is all about laughing at the stereotypes of zombie movies, thus the dumb as fuck plan Shaun and Ed come up with when the dead start walking. First things first is saving asshat Pete from getting bit tonight, Logan you got that?" Logan nodded while enjoying the croissant sandwich. "Next is Shaun's mom and step father, though I'm willing to let him drop..." Akane said looking at the other two, who both showed a thumbs down earning a nod.
"Alright, step dad dies" she said crossing him off the alive list. "The couple will just make sure they don't kill themselves, easy enough. Ed is the last to fall and honestly we can just let him do it for the most part."
"Seeing as most of this is tonight and tomorrow, and I don't really have a lot of clothes to fill my room back at the Cineplex, can we hit the clothing store while we are here?" Leah said as Akane filled out the board.
"Oh absolutely, I mostly just wanted everyone onboard with who we live or let die" Akane said as she capped the permanent marker and walked over to sit between the two to eat her own meal. "Let's eat, get dressed, and get some shopping done before having a day of killing British dead. Given it's an in -universe three day movie it will be in and out in record time. Let's all just try and have some fun with it, maybe crack a few jokes and really embrace the film's comedy aspect."

"Find everything sir?" the cashier said as he scanned a sledgehammer. Logan nodded as he munched on a candy bar as the man scanned an ax next. "Doing a little home construction?" he said with a smile as he scanned a pickaxe next.
"more of a clean up sort of thing actually" Logan said looking at the little selection of magazines the counter had on display. A few were talking about some chemical dumping, and American probe landing, and other key events that might be what started the infection.
"Oh I see, well I hope we had everything you needed" The cashier said as he scanned a chainsaw next.
"More than enough," Logan said with a smile as continued to eat his candybar. He then glanced over and saw some coveralls and raised a brow.
#####
In another store not too far away Leah and Akane were stocking up on clothes, with Logan's new range of style already in another cart being pushed with the two others right next to it.
"So it wasn't a faze for you?" Leah said seeing the gothic attire Akane had selected as her only clothing choice. Her own style was more modern and ranged like most would.
"Oh yeah, my mom would treat me like a doll when I was a kid and so my teenage years were goth and grunge," Akane said. "Then when she finally stopped caring I found the styles to fit my taste and kept it going." Leah nodded as she threw a jacket she liked in the cart.
"Fair, and it does suit you in most ways" she said while looking at the last section of the store.
"Thank you," Akane said with a smile as tossed a graphic shirt that said "Queen me bitch" into her cart. "Alright I think I'm done here, how about you?"
"Yep, let's get out of here and meet back up with Logan" Leah said as she grabbed a final piece of clothing and tossed it into her cart. With that the two pushed the three carts out of the store, passing by the staff that were tied up and ducked taped to keep quiet, to the car they stole from the road. "Do you think Logan will be mad that we didn't do this the right way?"
"Nah," Akane said, waving her hand as they both filled the trunk with the clothing. "We use to do stuff like this all the time in the real world. Our rule was just not to kill anybody so we didn't have the cops on our ass too much." Leah nodded as she closed the trunk and got into the car with Akane. Both tossed the ski masks they were wearing and took off to grab Logan.
#####
"This was a lot more boring than I thought it would be," Leah said as they walked back into the apartment.
"It was why we were hesitant to go to these movies honestly" Logan said as he unscrewed the suppressor from his sidearm. Pete was unaccosted tonight and would be alive the coming morning hopefully.
"It's funny when you're actually watching the characters interact, yet you'll miss it when you're actually hanging around" Akane said heading to the dining table with food. Leah sighed out at the obviousness of the answer and started to close the door when she heard a moan in the hallway. Craning her neck out she saw a clear dead standing in the hall looking at her. She raised a brow and looked the other way to make sure it was the only one. Looking back to the dead she reached into her jacket and pulled out a bowie knife she got from the Akimbo gun store from Re2.
Walking out into the hallway the other two listened as the groan of a living dead spiked into a growl, before being cut out abruptly and ending in a thud. Walking back into the apartment Leah moved over to the sink and cleaned her knife off while continuing the conversation.
"Yeah that makes sense when you spell it out for me like that. I guess the fun we'll have is going to come from us right?"
"Exactly!" Akane said while eating some Indian food. "Like heading out tomorrow and running around killing the dead while Shaun tries and fails to keep his friends alive." Logan nodded as he ate his own meal. Leah nodded and walked over to get to tomorrow and the next movie.
