Don't Dead, Open Inside || Action
Who: Carl Grimes, a bunch of zombies, and you
Broadcast: kinda?
Action: Waystation
When: Right now
(( ooc: This is a blanket content warning for blood/gore/death. So! There are zombies ahead and you’ve found yourself on the waystation! You have two options: evacuate, or fight them off. Things of note to remember: Being bitten or scratched are the easiest ways for infection. We don’t suggest being eaten. Magic will be hit or miss depending on player preference/discretion. Characters who become zombies will be treated as in-character deaths. Standard rules apply! The event will last a total of 24 hours. Have fun, and enjoy all the undead things. If there are any questions or anything at all, feel free to pm this journal or hit me up at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[ The Fleet has been floating along its predetermined path for the past few days, getting further and further away from the Yadrolla System and toward unknown territory. Along the way, those oh-so convenient waystations continue to pop up at their usual intervals. Identical in every way to every other, boring waystation. Neat, right? There are even some of those familiar orange-skinned aliens and some human travelers milling about and generally minding their own business. It’s a good place to stretch your legs, get sodas of questionable flavor, and take those nifty new pets for a walk!
Interrupting the general peace of the waystation, a shrill siren starts, and a robotic voice comes over the intercom as well as all communication devices on the station and surrounding spacecraft, repeating a monotone message. ]
ATTENTION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. LOCKDOWN IMMINENT. ATTENTION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. CALMLY EVACUATE USING THE NEAREST EXIT. LOCKDOWN IMMINENT..
[ Soon, it becomes apparent to those on the waystation what the emergency is. A gaggle? A murder??? Just.. a lot of undead. They’re not in any particular hurry, shambling and stumbling along.. until they spot what looks like some good eats. That seems to get them excited, arms stretching forward, teeth gnashing, and more growling than any sort of verbal mishmash meant to be words.THEY’RE NOT A WORDY PEOPLE, OKAY?
For those looking to escape, it’s quite easy to outrun them unless you’re not paying attention to your surroundings. Corners can be tough! Just don’t get bit or scratched and all is well, except for their incessant attempts at making you a snack. For those who haven’t come across them before, or have run into some variation of them in another world, they’re resilient up to the point of losing their head or the brain being destroyed. Limbs being broken or missing don’t seem to slow them down, just send them a little off-balance.
All they know is attack and eat.
For those of the fleet still on their ships, they gravitate around the waystation, seemingly not wanting to go anywhere. There is a short window of time from the emergency alert to the entire waystation going on lockdown. Those wishing to help evacuate can do so- but they have to be quick!
Once the lockdown is in place, communication ceases with the waystation. All the rest of the fleet can do is sit and wait, and hope for the best. The doors will re-open twenty-four hours later, once it’s clear the situation is handled and they can regroup, count their losses, and wait once again for the perished to rejoin their ranks. ]

She'll try not to look too closely, sob. She doesn't have a knife, but in between using setting up more lightning fields she has the reach with the climatact to keep them off her.] Does that mean everyone here is-- sick? [Is that really the word you'd use?]
no subject
Not a good idea to stay stationary.]
I'm not — sure. I'm not sure how it spreads.
... But if we are sick, it's a good idea to not die, huh?
no subject
[She has to flinch and turn aside as Sam dispatches the kids. But she's had to deal with terrible situations before, so she's still working on automatic, setting up literal barrier fields behind them as they go-- tiny little dark clouds that drift and do nothing at all unless something shuffles in between them. Nothing will follow behind.]
no subject
It could be transferable through bodily fluids.
[The bite is certainly the biggest culprit, though. Safe for now, he quickly sheathes his knife and checks the ammo count on his handgun.]
Have you ran into anyone else from the fleet?
no subject
A few. They all seem fine so far, just as confused as we are. Though-- [She hesitates.] You remember Daryl?
no subject
[He wasn't around for long, last time, but he knows the guy's made a re-emergence in the fleet.]
no subject
Pavel said Daryl was familiar with this stuff. [She pauses at what sounds like maybe someone running into an electrical fence somewhere behind them. Well, that's one down. Two more barriers.] If they're not like your zombies, maybe they're like his.
[Assuming he has zombies. At this point, who knows. Maybe Daryl just knows someone who knows someone who knows zombies. This shit gets confusing after a while.]
no subject
Then the best idea is to find this guy during the mess and see if we can get a few more pointers.
Or maybe keep it as an additional goal while we're working on not getting chomped on, if that sounds like a plan.
no subject
[She hopes, but she's also not naive. These people kind of look way past saving.]
