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.

[That didn't really cross her mind. But now that he mentioned it...]

An army of undead drowning victims. Definitely sounds like something Jones would unleash on us for no apparent reason. Guess now I'm going to have to barricade my cabin and sleep with a knife in my hands every night. Now that the babies are on patrol duty.

[youhearthebells]

They're gonna be okay, right?

[he double-checks his weapons, hefting one in each hand - River Master on the right, Dark Thresher on the left]

I'm gonna make a sweep o' the ship to make sure we got 'em all. And get everybody in their cabins. Nobody should be out right now, get where it's safe.

[anelegantmyth]

Kitty, you offend me! My pokemon can handle anything. As long as that 'anything' can be burnt, frozen, electrocuted, mentally tormented or completely mutilated.

[But she does give him that worried look she usually reserves for her captain when she feels that something bad's about to happen.]

Do you need me to come with you? Considering the circumstances, my room isn't really safe right now.

[youhearthebells]

Don't need, but... [yeah, he gets it] Probably shouldn't split up or leave anybody alone. That means your cabin, too - you should probably crash with somebody else.

[Gan Ning is a proud advocate of the buddy system!]

[anelegantmyth]

Uhmm...

[Considering her choices at the moment. Last she checked, all the little boys were bunking in one room, and the two adult males were in another. Meaning her choices were pretty limited. Sure she'd be safe bunking with the little boys. But she needs her sleep.]

Actually? Maybe I will stick to barricading my cabin.

[youhearthebells]

C'mon, Cyn, I don't wanna leave you alone. If your pokemon are gonna guard the ship, you gotta be with the rest of us.

[anelegantmyth]

You really need to stop worrying about me so much, Captain. I'm a big girl. I'll be fine.

[And in the tune of Ning's usual "if orochi can't kill me..." spiel.]

I survived an attack by an interdimensional legendary dragon pokemon, and the near destruction of my world. Zombies shouldn't be too hard.

[youhearthebells]

All right, but don't say I didn't warn ya.

[and he won't even be a jerk if she has to drag a mattress in with him and Gaius. For now, though, he's got a ship to patrol to clear these bastards out]

[anelegantmyth]

[Actually, she's just not saying out loud that she'd happily bunk with him and Gaius. That room would be the safest room in the entire ship considering her history with those two. But with Gaius out of the room and Ning patrolling? She didn't want to impose.]

Well, you be safe okay? I need sleep. Badly.

[youhearthebells]

Don't worry, I got it. I'll round up Gaius and get everybody below decks.

[he flicks both weapons up and spins them around his wrists as a show of just how much he's got this, and then he's off to be a hero.]

[anelegantmyth]

[Yeah yeah, so manly, carries two weapons. She gets it.]

Good night, Captain. If I end up in your room when you come back. Don't wake me.
