Hi!!! What? It's only in the author's notes I can guiltlessly say hi to my readers, so the hell I do it! Actually I can say anything it won't change your opinion of the fanfic, because it's not really a part of it! I'm free!!! Too bad I don't have this much stupid things to say right now... So lets get to the serious stuff!

Chronologically, the fanfic happens more or less after season two, in fact it might overlap the third season's time period, I didn't check since anyway it's obvious it doesn't fit the Sailormoon timeline; the third series exist and all Sailors are part of it, which would have been different if this story was part of it...
It's based on the animé only. It's written in function that Sailor Moon doesn't have the power to resurrect the dead, while in the manga she can do that.
At a point, Rei mentions once having had a little hamster who tragically died several years earlier. This detail is purely fictive, Naoko said very little about the Sailors' childhood.
The translation has a better english than this, I made heavy use of the dictionary and used a word corrector, things I haven't done for these notes. Of course some sentences may sound bizarre, syntax errors can occur and I can use totally unusual words and expression because that's the best way I found to translate french expressions. Lets call it a written accent. If it really bothers you, the job of Youma's slave proofreader is available.

This isn't a zombie story, and not to give the punch away I won't tell exactly what it is either, but a character can be called a zombie, living-dead or whatever, if you want a scientific explaination(heeer, not really scientific actualle) of all described phenomenons, or if the very graphic descriptions aren't clear look below:

The character doesn't know he's dead since he needs to go to the bathroom normally, it's normal since intestines don't give a shit(hehehe) about the rest of the body's death, they always continue functioning a while longer than the rest of the body, what a bunch of selfish guts!
I guess a real living dead would be paralysed by rigor mortis, since the muscle are contracted at 100% there's no play room for movement. Sometimes there"s movement since opposed muscles don't always have the same strenght but it's not coherent. Anyway the stiffness doesn't last because the it's a chemical reaction and the reactives eventually run out.
The first visible sign is the skin colour. The tone is greyish since the nasty little(still living) cells pull all oxygen from the blood. White marks remain at any spot that gets pressed because there's no pressure to push blood back into the capillaries, and a dark red colour in the hands and feet is caused by the blood flowing down because of gravity. Yeah it's all blood's fault. It stops changing when it coagulates, but eventually the hemoglobin degrades and colouring changes again.
Don't laugh, I really did ask an insurance salesman if a living dead could claim his life insurance.
Will a zombie decompose faster or slower than a regular corpse? I'm not sure. A moving person unavoidably damages his body, if it can't heal then it degrades faster, but a living dead can get rid of excess fungus and worms and slow the process. I think in average the degradation will be faster. In this fic anyway it gets damaged mostly by playing with gas, fire and moon tiaras, but if it had been summer the story would have been shorter, maggots are very voracious when it's hot...
The digestive system is very unapetizing. The rotting food emits abundant gas, who can eventually cause the intestine to rupture(juste to scare you, I'll precise it can happen to a living person, it's awfully painful and I know someone who died that way) and release a most infectuous mixture into the adbomen. With the digestive enzymes, it quickly liquefy the surrounding organs.
Covering someone with gas and lighting it gives pretty much the same for a living dead than for anyone. So if you always dreamed to see a zombie burn, you can take George Bush 2 instead and the effect will be the same.(note:I wrote that 2 years ago and I still mean it: Burn Bush!)

Is it me or i lost my serious again? Alright, I haven't got that much to say. How are you? Me too. I'd like to have a large glass of milk, don't you think it would be good... No? Okay it's just me. That's it, I have nothing to say anymore! You can go to any chapter from here:
