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. ]

"Well, let's see. At maximum, it has been maybe three hours? They tend to move at relatively the same speed, mm, well, except for that one--"

[Flug casually points a bulkier walker, barreling towards them with considerable more momentum; but you have it under control, right? He's just going to continue to mutter his math like it's an ancient enchantment.]

"And given how far they've wandered by now, I'd say... There! I-inside the compound. That would be our best bet."

"OH SHI--" [Manji had no idea they could move so fast. He was pretty confident taking care of slow ones even as a one arm, one foot man but THIS ONE?

Manji draws his weapon just in time to use it to block the zombie rushing towards them. He really shouldn't be surprised by this point that the walker pushes forward and ignores the sword keeping him at bay as it slowly sinks into the creature's skin. But it's fine! Manji's got him to slow down so now Flug can torch the beast and-- and--

AND IS HE STILL TALKING ABOUT MATH?!

With a grunt Manji let's the walker back him up against the wall once it's clear that the doctor wasn't going to be any help. This let's him share his weight between the wall and his bad leg as his good leg raises up to violently kick the zombie in the stomach.

As it stumbles backwards away from Manji he's first quick to chop off it's hands as it tries to latch onto his kimono before taking its head.

The fight ends in a spray of blood just as Flug finishes.]


"Great. Thanks for the information and help, doc." [Can you hear the way his voice is dripping with an annoyed, unimpressed, he's not mad just disappointed, no wait he's actually mad as well, tone to it? ]
fightorflug: (basic)

"Welcome."

[It's hard to tell if Flug is oblivious or just that ambivalent over the situation, but he turns to Manji without a trace of mirth or sarcasm and at least torches what is left of the zombie remains. You did say you were one of the greatest fighters around didn't you? It would be rude of him to not give you the chance to use your talents!

Flug tilts his head to indicate the direction the creature came from, a gaping open cavity leading deeper into the facility. If there is any source to be found, surely this is it. He raised his weapon, ready as such a weak and scrawny thing could ever look for combat.

'Shall we?']
canofmanji: (Did it all for the KJ)

[For a moment Manji thinks to point out to Flug that he was being sarcastic. In the end he decides its pointless.

Manji gives his blade a firm flick to try to get some of the excess blood off of it before he awkwardly walks forward with his uneven leg height. Sword being held at the ready for whatever might jump out at them.]
