You couldn't really tell when the seasons changed in Essex, where KONG studios lay atop a large hill, overlooking the plains and the fresh grass on one side, and crispy, decaying grass on the other side. It was wet there. So wet that she could not remember an evening when it did not drizzle. The rain would induce strange happenings in the fields of KONG. The undead would come to surface, washed up by the new rains, straining for life and flesh.
It was a good thing that Noodle got back to KONG first. She tampered with the studio electronics and devised a system to ward offending zombies that had gotten loose in the building.
Exhausted as she was when she had returned from Osaka, Noodle, in her energetic youth, found the determination to make KONG livable by spending most of April cleaning out the main rooms of the studio and assembling a nutrition compartment to keep all non-zombies immune. At the end of everyday, the young girl locked the main doors, closed the kitchen shut, and decontaminated her room before she would fall onto her futon and try to scribble in her notebook unless she fell asleep immediately.
Though she couldn't contact anyone with her mobile (the network used to be paid from the record company, and since late 2003 they had shut down their network) Noodle tried to contact her fellow band mates through internet.
She had no luck talking to them; Russell had gone AWOL in California, 2D was somewhere in Southern Britain, and Murdoc had apparently been arrested in Mexico. Noodle took to the honors of shutting down KONG for renovation and waited.
She felt like she had to wait for a very long time.
