When Joel had learned of a viral outbreak that essentially turned people into Zombies.
He had no time to bask in the absurdity of it.
He had panicked for Sara.
When Joel and Tommy survived long enough for spores to pop out of infected's skulls.
Never had it crossed their minds of the absurdity of it, both having been traumatized to find humor from it.
And now, when both had just barely managed to escape a horde of Clickers due to a purple light stopping the hordes tracks.
Followed by them running away from said light.
They had finally, found that absurd (and perhaps even humorous), but what happened next was…
"… Welcome! Got somethin that might interest ya!"
Both whipping around in alarm with their guns raised in the direction of the voice
In front of them stood a dark purple-ish hooded man with a purple bandana marked with odd stripes and a enormous backpack welcoming them with a raised hand and odd accent.
In front of said man was a table and a purple stand holding the purple flame they saw earlier, his other hand resting calmly (surprisingly) on the table's surface.
The sight of which caused them to lower their guns slightly
Only for him to open his coat (Joel and Tommy raising their weapons again in alarm) revealing
"Holy…"
Belts of various ammo types, mixed in with multiple pouches ranging from small to big followed by the random holstered pistol.
Followed by two words
"What're ya buyin?"
The words which finally made lose them marbles.
