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] skorozima. ))

[ 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. ]

[ Honestly, after shit went down in a spectacularly terrible way, who doesn't need to find a drink? He prefers the atmosphere of the Space Bar, even though it's been an age since he's been. Bucky tends to keep to his ship or the gym unless they're on a planet. He finds a spot at the bar and nods to Nami. ]

Whatever you have that's strongest will work, and whatever you're having.
mikangirl: (I'm so sorry)

[Nami is so newly showered the ends of her hair are still damp and she's a few shades pale besides, because zombies were a great interruption to everyone's day, right? She's only a little surprised to see him in here. And with such a request, she can't help but smile, though it's a wan sort of humourless thing.]

Hope you can hold your liquor, then. This one'll knock you flat otherwise.

[What she's having is what's strongest. How convenient-- she pours him a glass of dark liquid, amber highlights. It's designed for people bigger than the average human and it kicks.]

I do alright.

[ Thank you, super soldier constitution. He lifts his glass in her direction and takes a drink. It's a hell of a lot stronger than he was anticipating, which isn't a bad thing. Not in this situation. There's a lot of shit to unpack. ]

This will do the trick.
mikangirl: (concern)

[personal profile] mikangirl 2018-06-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hope so. [She pours herself one to match. Nami doesn't really get drunk easily, and she's perfectly sober now. But even so, it helps take the edge off and settle her nerves today.]

...were you down there?
reconstitution: (pju5vNs)

[personal profile] reconstitution 2018-06-29 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
You too, huh? [ He shakes his head and takes another drink. ]

'What the fuck' doesn't really cover it.
mikangirl: (here we go again)

[personal profile] mikangirl 2018-06-30 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs at that, short and not very amused. (A little amused.)]

It's sad I've seen things that register higher on the 'what the fuck' scale, but it's pretty far up there. Everyone you know made it out okay?
reconstitution: (Default)

wow forever late

[personal profile] reconstitution 2018-07-19 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Same here, but there are things you don't really expect. There's enough weird shit out there. [ He huffs a less than amused laugh, taking another drink from his glass. ]

Yeah, as far as I know. Know we lost some people, but not for long at least.

[ SILVER LINING??? ]

mikangirl: (Is that Luffy in our fridge again)

better late than never!

[personal profile] mikangirl 2018-07-21 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[She winces. It's not great, but yeah, that is kind of a silver lining. But--]

It's a pity about the other people just visiting the waystation. I don't know that the Atroma will extend them the same favour.

It's hard telling with them, and it's likely they wouldn't tell us even if they did. Especially since these new 'hosts' took over.
mikangirl: (I'm here)

[personal profile] mikangirl 2018-07-23 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[That gives her pause.] You've been here longer than me. Were Diamond and Beau ever more communicative?
