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. ]

At this point I almost hope not. [Otherwise she just murdered those people.]

The ones back home? [She looks at him curiously.]

Considering they're composed of dead tissue? Me, too.

[He glances at her, biting his lip. Might as well be straight-forward about it, huh?]

There were undead raised by Death back home, during the apocalypse. But they're usually people who are raised from the dead to begin with — they start out acting like their old selves, but eventually turn into cannibalistic shells of their former self.

They were a lot like this.

Death is a person back home, huh? Like actual death, not just a horseman?

I haven't seen any of these acting like people. Cannibalistic shells sounds right though.

... Something like that. He wasn't so much a person as he used a shell that looked like one. He was one of the four horseman there, too, though. [He shrugs, like it's just kinda what it is. Normal shit for him, man.] Now Death's a reaper who took the mantle, though; she pretty much hates us. Which... fair enough.

Leave it to you to piss off Death. Did you have a guy named Apocalypse back home too? [Kitty, this is not the time for this conversation. There is a loud thud against the door to the room they're in as the dead have heard their voices and are trying to get in.]

Sounds like they're lining up for us.

[He breathes out.]

Guess so.

You think you can drag me through a few more walls to somewhere a little less noisy?

[AKA without as many gross undead people scratching and moaning, you know?]

I'll owe you one. Or I guess two.
passingthrough: (Fond - Hand holding)

Ready to drag people through walls is my middle name. Totally lying when I say it's Anne. I just wasn't always ready to admit it. [The door is starting to look like it might buckle as she reaches out to hold his hand. Nothing weird about holding his hand after making out with him that one time. NOTHING TO SEE HERE!]

You know the rules, right? Don't let go.

[Heh. A little weird, but nothing Winchester Weird. He'll take it.

He reaches out for her hand, gripping tightly.]


Wouldn't wanna be part of the decor, definitely. Lead the way.
