[The speaker might look familiar- a little more disheveled than usual, but it's definitely Sabriel, peering through the screen like she's never seen one before- and then trying to compose herself.]
Greetings- I am Abhorsen, and I fear I am a stranger in this land. [Her tone is formal, but there's an undercurrent of urgency.]
I understand that this country is not troubled by the Dead- People I spoke to were very clear that the recent festivities didn't involve any real monsters. [Although she still doesn't understand how the candy is related.] I'm sure it was all very charming, but I'd like to know if anyone knows where I can purchase a sword- a real sword, not a toy. [She wavers, her expression softening a little before she presses on.] If anyone's seen a white cat with a red collar- He calls himself Mogget, and he's probably said something incredibly rude by now- or a man called Touchstone- he's a little older than me, with curly brown hair and two swords, and he doesn't really understand technology.
I have read the pamphlet, and I've been given no reason to distrust our well-informed hosts. [But there's an unspoken question in her tone- 'is there any reason TO trust them?'] Still, this is all- quite a story. [And one she's not sure what to make of- technology has never fascinated her, and this is all far beyond anything the devices in Ancelstierre are capable of.]

That doesn't work too well against the Dead I'm familiar with. Putting little holes in them doesn't do much to stop them unless you aim for the joints, and the presence of the Dead makes technology... unreliable.

There are some mundane methods that work- incineration or taking their physical bodies to pieces if they have one, or forcing them into or over running water.

[Sometimes she hates this place. She knows how her world works, comfortably nestled in the laws of physics. Everything's different here, let alone in other worlds. She's still adjusting.]
Incineration will work, but it's not reliable. Until they fully burn, you just have zombies but on fire. You have to destroy the brain, period. Usually that means a gun, but my brother has a crossbow he likes too.
