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. ]

Aang slips out of the room and jumps on the slick hill of ice. Even with bare feet and clothes that amount to little more than a toga, the cold doesn't bother him. There are more of the undead, but he doesn't get a chance to do much to them before the woman in armor cuts them down. He grimaces as a head falls next to his foot, still gnashing its teeth.

Maybe the gore should bother him more, but he's seen enough that it doesn't.

"Thanks for the help." Aang glances at his ice pile. Inside, some of the zombies' eyes were still rolling to track him. "I don't suppose anyone's figured out an exit?"

Hopefully that ice holds for awhile. Riona's not keen on having them all defrost at once and charging at them. But with the current lot taken care of - popsicle-ized or decapitated - they can breathe for a moment.

She turns, and when she recognizes Aang, she smiles. Of course, he likely doesn't recognize her immediately, but that can wait a moment. "Of course. And no, I don't think so. The main exits are sealed off, and these things just keep coming. We might be in for a long night."

Aang nods, frowning down at the frozen zombies for a moment. A night may not sound like long, but Aang has a sinking feeling that this is going to get much worse before it gets better. "There are a lot of people here who can't defend themselves. We need to find them and make sure they're safe."

It hasn't escaped Aang that a lot of people in the Fleet are not experienced fighters. If he can just freeze all the zombies he comes across... maybe they'll stay frozen until the night is over. It's not like they have body heat to melt them out.

"Agreed." His worry matches her own. And not everyone in the fleet is on this waystation. While it's good if the non-combatants are avoiding this, it certainly sucks that it also means they have fewer actual fighters to help mitigate things. "Some have been holing up in rooms. Barricading themselves in and whatnot. I just wish I knew what started this. This sort of thing doesn't just... happen." Unless Atroma is involved. Which... fuck them ten ways to Sunday if they are.
