Happy Days, Zombie Nights

[youhearthebells]

Who: Hazmats!
Where: at sea and at Arco da Vella
When: June.
What: zombies. Also exploring Arco and seeing its own brand of weirdness, looking for treasure, etc.
Warnings: maybe some zombie violence
Style: whatever
Status: closed to Hazmats

The Nightfury leaves Li Yu Tiao after the festival and after a little aimless sailing, settles on a course southeast to Arco da Vella, mainly to follow rumors of treasure and to do visit somewhere they haven't been before. By the time they turn onto this week-long journey, it's already June, and the Dog's warnings about something coming catch up to them before they land.

At sea the night of the 15th when the first zombies attack, it becomes even more imperative to make it to land. Because of course, it would never happen on land, right? Wrong. Plus, when they get there, the strange colorless nature of Arco da Vella shows itself, not that it's as dangerous or deadly as zombies but it's just one thing after another around here.

[The dragon croons at him in concern, allowing him to lean against him. It helps that since his return, Toothless has proven to be a little bigger than when they'd first met.

He's come to remember everyone aboard the ship, and hey, battles have this way of bringing people closer.

As those colors seep back through the dull landscape in front of him, Toothless perks up, his tail swishing.]

[youhearthebells]

[he can never tell if that tail wagging is just like a dog or not. He's going to go with yes, because it's cute.]

Yeah, me too.

[no, he doesn't know what that noise meant but eh. He's tired enough that it doesn't matter. Good dragon, have all the pets.]

[fastandfuryous]

[That definitely hasn't changed, and the dragon all but curls about the man as he circles. He looks down, pawing at the grass. Green grass, not black. He likes it better this way.]

[youhearthebells]

[even if he's Hiccup's best pal and dragony life partner, Gan Ning can't help but love that he gets to hang out with a big ol' pet dragon.]

What d'ya see, huh? Oh...hey, there's flowers.

[not a huge deal but he's pretty sure he didn't see flowers a little while ago. Did they just bloom, or what?]

This island's weird, man. We've been some crazy places but this is just out there.

[fastandfuryous]

[He stretches his neck out so that he can shove his nose towards the greenery and its blooms, sniffing.

Oh yeah, he'd totally agree that this place is pretty nuts.]

[youhearthebells]

Dare ya to eat it.

[flowers are so not fish, right? Not anywhere near as yummy as fish.]

[fastandfuryous]

[The dragon snorts, glancing at Gan Ning? Eat? That? Boo.]

[youhearthebells]

[laughs! Because that look. He knows what that look means.]

I'm kidding! C'mon!

[Toothless gets vigorous pats for playing along]

[fastandfuryous]

[The dragon growlfs, nudging his head against Gan Ning at all the pettings. Oh you!]

[youhearthebells]

[one more hearty pat and he's good, wandering only a step or two away. He's conscious of keeping someone, anyone, close at hand at all times even in daylight. Dragons and pokemon count.]

I tell ya, buddy. We're real lucky to have ya 'round. For what it's worth, I can't complain that Jones brought you guys back. We need ya, right now.

[fastandfuryous]

[Toothless puffs himself up a bit, perhaps picking something up from he tone that Gan Ning uses. He'll do his best, captain!]

[youhearthebells]

That's right! [points at him with both hands, a gesture he probably picked up from the turtles] You know it, huh? You know how tough ya are.

[fastandfuryous]

[The dragon snorts, looking smugly at that. He gives a few talk-like growls, giving a shake from head to tail.]

[youhearthebells]

Yeah, that's right. [nods. He so knows.] You give them zombies what-for. Roast 'em good. And then all of us'll be safe, all thanks to you.

[fastandfuryous]

[Zombies- he knows what the word associates with well enough by now. Toothless also knows just what to do with the things, grunting before he blows out a small, brief gout of violet flame in demonstration.]

[youhearthebells]

Yeah - that. [good dragon!] And we'll getcha all the fish we can. Maybe we'll even go to Empieza and blow all our money on some real meat!

[what a thought. He can't even really plan beyond today, or tomorrow. What will they do if Arco doesn't turn out to have more treasure? They have enough, but more would be better. More is always better.]

[fastandfuryous]

[Fish is always a surefire way to make Toothless happy. His mouth parts in that gummy grin of his. He can certainly share enthusiasm for fish and meats, yes he can!]

[youhearthebells]

[Oh, Toothless. Gan Ning just laughs and gives him some more manly pats. He probably won't get much laughter in over the next week or so, might as well stock up on some good times now.]
