The dead don't, as a rule of thumb, walk in Bonetown. The process of reanimation or unlife generally involves magic of some sort, so they might be able to walk in but they then might also have to be carried out. If they're really dead.
If, for instance, they're infected with something... but these technicalities aren't quite as pressing to the Bonetown residents dealing with a nightmarish contagion pattern that causes unthinking aggression and cannibalism among those infected. Where it came from and who's responsible will have to be sorted out later, though the fact that the spread of the infection begins in Bonetown is quite possibly too convenient -- there are thus some limiting factors to the destruction infected victims can cause -- can't be ignored.
'Convenient' is not the term of the moment, however, not when 'horde' and 'riot' are so close at hand. Full infection takes anywhere from five to twenty minutes, though the symptoms are almost instantaneous. Prelude Street is the worst off: a main road lined with shops, there are people with burst blood vessels in their face and eyes, people being noisily sick, and among a high percentage of those not weak or sick, people losing capacity for coherent thought and speech. It escalates quickly, but in patches. Those farthest gone tend to stay until everything and everyone in their vicinity is thoroughly destroyed.
ZOMBIES! (bonetown)
