It probably smells really bad. Mooncalves are corpses, so are feral vampires and zombies, so none of them turn to dust. The military doesn't clean them up, though the area is quarantined off, so the general populace wouldn't be going in to snoop around anyway. It's separated enough from the rest of the city that I doubt anyone outside of the QZ could pick up on the smell all that easily though.Bjorn wrote:With all the zombies and mooncalf and fadebeasts and feral vampires dropping in the QZ - what's the smell like? I know that dependent on the path, a PC vampire will either 'smoke out' or 'corpse out' type deal (amongst others), but what about NPCs? How can one write getting body parts (fangs, ears, blood, bones) if some are dusting out Buffy Slayer style? And if they don't dust out, who cleans up the gunk? D'Artois faction take care of it? Military? Contracted out to private company? Or is it a stinky place where you might get your shoe caught in some goo round any given corner?
[ Tagging onto that for curiosity's sake -- can one extract DNA from those body parts? If they have the right equipment to do so, I mean. ]
I can't say one way or the other whether or not D'Artois clean up the streets - though if there were PC groups that wanted to take on that role, I think it would offer something unique to the RP, but that's not something I'd be dipping my fingers into as a storyteller.
As far as DNA goes: Yes, DNA could be extracted from the corpses, but all it would really tell anyone is that they're human and dead. Without a spirit inhabiting a zombie's body it's just a corpse.
