Summary

Views: 69 billion. Followers: 635 million. Odette's show has aired. Imani, not Donut, teaches Carl the pedicure kit, and his toes glitter. The stairwell quadrant is clurichauns — hillbilly leprechauns, Unvaccinated Rev-Up Consultants with slingshots and runny noses, fairy-class and 20% deadlier against a goblin-pass holder. Donut headshots three and raises one: her first zombie pulls intestines out of its friend like streamers.

Carl takes up the slingshot and practises on the undead. An MLM pamphlet ('It's not a pyramid!'), the Taint debuff that blocks all healing, and twenty-five jugs of 180-proof toilet-grade moonshine, which with a torch for a cork become Carl's Jug O' Boom — described by the system as made by 'an unstable, pantsless man who talks to a cat.'
