Happy Days, Zombie Nights

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.

[He makes a slight face at being flower-decorated, but whatever. Glancing further inland, Gaius nods.]

Sure. May as well, while we have daylight.

[Every dessert should be decorated, Gaius. You know that.

She actually takes her time, strolling across the fields of flowers and looking at the more colorful trees. Usually she wouldn't wait for her companion whenever she was checking out an island. But these were different circumstances, and she couldn't help but check on Gaius every time she got. The last thing she needed was for things to go black and white again.]

[ :|

Gaius doesn't fall behind too much. He's keeping an eye on things as they go out of habit, but it definitely appears that the colors don't disappear so long as they're within reach of each other.]
anelegantmyth: (affectionate: how cute!)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-17 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Get it? You're a dessert because you're so sweet. Gosh I'm funny.

Now and then, Cynthia would stop to pick up another flower of play with a tiny jackalope before it scurries of to wherever those weird horned bunny creatures scurry off to. Arceus forbid, she adopt one of those things.]


We should have gone to this island sooner. It's so lovely here.

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-17 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
At least, when the colors work. It'd be kind of a disappointment otherwise.
anelegantmyth: (curious: what do you mean?)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-18 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
True. But now I really do wonder if I'd be seeing the same if I stood next to Toothless, or Roxas, or does this island just randomly pair up people and mess with them in pairs?

Makes me wonder if I'd be seeing the same thing if you met me here and not at that cave in IE.
willwork4sugar: (I'm really just zoning out)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-18 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, at least we can experiment with the first part of that.
anelegantmyth: (happy: summer)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-24 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Experiment later, we have treasure to find, and I can't help but think that seeing these colors is going to make this hunt a whole lot easier for us.

[She watches as these colorful trees swayed with the gentle breeze. It was like this island took "Colors of the wind" a little too literally. ]

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-24 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins.]

Hey, you were the one that brought it up.

[But he'll be more interested in heading along anyway than figuring out what's with the colors around here.]
anelegantmyth: (mocking: oh burn)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-25 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up, Gaius.

[She grins back before dragging him deeper into the island. Of course, she'd still stop to pick nearly every flower she could find, and maybe changing that flower tucked behind Gaius' ear from time to time. But eventually they reach the lake at the center of it all.]
willwork4sugar: (I'm really just zoning out)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-25 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shrugging, he trails along, making the occasional face at being decorated with flowers. One or two of them might be dislodged with an absent flick of a finger.

But once they come to the lake, he stops, bringing a hand to shade his eyes as he looks out.
]

That's one suspiciously lonely tree.
anelegantmyth: (mocking: oh burn)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-28 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Which mean whatever treasure they're hiding. It's probably there.

[Treasure hunting 101.]

So then, should we do the normal thing and fly over there, or should we be adventurous and try crossing the lake? It looks like fun.
willwork4sugar: (.....)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-28 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds reasonable to me.

[He eyes the distance.]

...normally I'd be up for adventurous, but I think it's better we don't tire ourselves out before night comes around.
anelegantmyth: (pokemon: braviary)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-29 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Good point.

[And with that, she calls out Garchomp and Braviary. The dragon immediately goes to her trainer's side. Which was no surprise, really. But Braviary was more interested in his new found company and may have forced his way into the thief's personal bubble. He smells candy. Give him candy.]
willwork4sugar: (aw crud)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-29 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Gaius shoves the beak out of his face.]

Really? Hey, quit it.
anelegantmyth: (pokemon: braviary)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-29 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[But caaaaandy. Keep shoving, Shrimpy. He won't budge until you give him candy.]
willwork4sugar: (seriously?)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-29 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[goieahgjjf Is candy even good for you?!? Crazy bird.

Gaius sighs and digs out a bit of taffy, holding it out.
]
anelegantmyth: (pokemon: braviary)

1/2

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-29 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[The bird scarfs it down, nearly taking Gaius' hand with it. But once that was gone, he lowers himself so the thief can get on. Thank you for the candy. You as a kind and wonderful shrimpy.]
anelegantmyth: (laughing: oh silly)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-29 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She's just laughing at all of this.]

If you want to adopt him, just say the word.
willwork4sugar: (crivens)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Gaius is quick to yank his hand back from the oversized bird before he can have any extra finger food.

He gives Braviary an awkward pat before moving to climb aboard. Cynthia gets a flat look.
]

I think I'm fine as is, thanks.
anelegantmyth: (with pokemon: over protective)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-06-29 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, Gaius. He likes you. Plus, if you annoy him, the worst he could do is drop you into the lake.

[With the, she signals her dragon to take off. Braviary following behind them.]
willwork4sugar: (Default)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-06-29 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that makes me feel loads better.

[Still, he hunkers low against the bird to make for less wind resistance as they take off.]
anelegantmyth: (laughing: oh silly)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-07-04 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
You should be glad he isn't mean to you, Gaius. When I first caught him, he made it a point to peck at me every time during training. I had more bruises that him at the end of each training day.

[Which may be why she always wore that long sleeved coat. Shh. Lucky for him, it's not even a long flight. It only took a few minutes to get to the mini island.]
willwork4sugar: (aw crud)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-07-04 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
So practically smothering me wasn't being mean?

[He glances down as they begin to descend towards the little island. Islet? Whatever.]
anelegantmyth: (happy: nice)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2015-07-06 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
He was being cuddly. You don't mind it when the poots do it.

[But then again, the poot don't force themselves into the tiny space known at the crow's nest.]
