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.

[date your threads, have some fun!]

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.

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.

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.]

[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.

1/2

[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.

[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.]
willwork4sugar: (Buh?)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2015-07-07 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Um. I do too mind when they do it. I don't think I'll ever get used to their ...habits.
