[closed now!] zombie season has been extended

[sugarslice]

Who: Angeline, open!
When: Saturday, December 28th, ~5PM (sunset, or thereabouts)
Where: Locke City
What: Anthony's video post gave Angeline an Echo in which she, too, became a zombie, albeit temporarily.
Warnings: Zombieness, possible cannibalism (probs just nibbles.)

[ after anthony had pointed out her newest echo, angeline ran out of the coffee shop she'd been chilling in like hell was on her heels. she kept her head low and hooded, and her hands gloved, such that it wouldn't be terribly obvious that she was, in fact, a zombie at first glance.

she may:
- literally run into someone
- be waiting at a bus stop
- ??? i have no idea, i'm playing this by ear ]

OOC: SOME USEFUL INFO
- zombieness transmitted via zombie bite
- transformation is almost instant, but couple minutes wiggle room is fine imo
- will have craving for flesh
- can only be killed when brain is destroyed
- shamble or not, it's up to you
- zombieness is temporary and will wear off after a day, sooner if you'd like
- examples of zombies: 1, 2

- the aforementioned coffee shop can be one that a PC works at (if so, lmk!)

- please indicate somewhere in your initial comment whether you want your character to be bitten or not. feel free to shoot me a PM or plurk also!

Ever since his little run-in with a Blood Key, Jovan's been a little more cautious stepping outside. This is nowhere near the Dead District and it's not even that late, but he feels like he can't be too careful.

Which is why he's hunched over, eyes down on the pavement, walking briskly down the street trying to get home as quickly as he can. Unfortunately, it's this focus on getting the hell off the streets that causes him to crash right into some girl walking the other way.

"Jeez, need to watch where you're going." He says it fairly quietly, more to himself than to her. He takes a step back and prepares to walk around her, but gets a better look at her in the process.

Hood up, head low, hands hidden...oh god, she's a Blood Key isn't she. Oh god, it would be his shitty rotten luck to run into one a second time. He freezes up in terror.

"Uh."

Yeah, good going Jovan, great last words to be remembered by when you get shanked 10 seconds from now in the street in this piece of shit city.

[keywarding]

[With how her month had been going you'd think Holly would have learned to stay inside, but obviously not. She's back out, heading away from the downtown part of town where she'd been with friends and was heading toward the closet bus stop.

She has a bag from a local store in her hands, she'd had to do some returns today and changed out a pink blouse for something in cream which she was looking out as she headed down the street.]

[[ooc: I am okay with a bite!]]

aye aye

[sugarslice]

She freezes on impact, dumbstruck by the simple fact that she'd just connected with another person while she's a mother fucking zombie. You would think that'd be reason enough to bolt, but no. Angeline's brain froze, too.

Jovan's little "uh" kicks her back into gear. Warily (and stupidly), she lifts her gaze to look at him, hand shoving her phone -- still connected to the Network, and mid-conversation-slash-freak out with Anthony -- back into her pocket. The action reveals bluish-grey skin and sunken eyes.

She stares at him. She squints. Then she leans back, panic renewing.

This is someone she recognizes. Her life is over.

[sugarslice]

[ given that public transportation is angeline's main method of getting around, she fled to the bus stop out of habit more than anything else. when she gets there, she realizes the flaw in her direction -- she can't ride public transportation as a zombie. it's public. public and full of people, half of whom have nothing better to do but look at everyone else!

she thinks to leave, but hesitates, because where else is she going to go? how do you even deal with surprise zombieness?! her life is over! twice over!

oh, and there's someone coming -- but instead of fleeing again, angeline instead feels anticipation -- mostly in her stomach.

dang, that girl sure looks tasty. ]

[keywarding]

[Holly hasn't looked up yet, a teenager of this century she's mastered texting and walking without managing to hit anyone, even if in her hands is clothing instead of a phone.

Finally though, when it really does look like she's going to walk right into Angeline, she looks up and stops.

Oh.]

Do you need something?

[It could totally be make up right? Right.]

[sugarslice]

[ taken aback by being addressed directly, angeline smiles at holly like a deer in headlights. ]

Um.

[ drooling... ]

I'm kind of hungry. Do you have anything to eat?

[ turn around so she can eat you, holly. ]

[grannyfucker]

It takes Nathan several moments to realize what he's looking at. The hair is unfamiliar, but there's something about the face...what is it?

Then it hits him--it's Angeline, from high school! At this point, his brain catches up to the fact that not only is it her, it's herwith blue skin and her eyes look weird what the hell is going on--

"A-Angeline?!" He hisses her name at her, trying to keep quiet because this is the first time he's seen her since graduation and now her skin is blue and she dyed her hair??? and apparently she's a Blood Key now who's going to shank him and take all $5.63 in his pockets?! What the fuuuuuuck.

[keywarding]

[Oh! She might be able to help with this and she smiles nodding.]

I have half a scone in my bag. I just got it today! [She's digging through her brown bag now, looking for the carefully wrapped pastry the nice bakery woman had wrapped up in a bit of plastic wrap.]

[sugarslice]

"No!" she squeaks, clutching her coat pockets. "Not Angeline, not her!"

But she doesn't move because he looks good -- as in, delicious kind of good.

What the shiiiiit.

[sugarslice]

[ SCORE.

before angeline can stop to think about how eating a person is fucked up what the fuck, girl, she lunges at holly and bites whatever body part is closest.

SORRY, HOLLY. ]

[keywarding]

[Like any good person when someone is lunging at them, she lifts her hand up with a small scream, which turns into a shriek when it rewards her with a bite into the fleshy part of her hand just below her pinky.

Girl you bite straight through her white gloves which are rapidly turning pink then red now.]

No no! Stop!

[sugarslice]

[ don't underestimate zombie teeth, yo.

zombie-line's still hanging on, tho, sorry. DELICIOUS PEOPLE FLESH. ]

[keywarding]

[She's pulling with all her might, because pain has blurred with the panic of 'someone is biting me!!' while shrieking.

What is with this town no one is helping!]

[sugarslice]

[ ok, the extended shrieking is kind of too much for a lady zombie's ears. angeline releases holly's hand and shoots her a dirty look.

... then realizes what she's just done.

the dirty looks turns into a horrified one. ]

Oh my god. Oh my god, oh my god--

[ holly should, in fact, be joining the zombie ranks any minute now. ]

[keywarding]

[Since she was pulling backwards with so much force the moment she's let go she's falling on her butt, scattering her belongings onto the side walk.

She doesn't notice the change at first, because ow hand, oh my god that is so much blood!]

Why would you do that?!

[She cries, looking up. Skin gone ashey? Eyes a little less bright? Double check, congrats Angeline you've successfully turned a middle schooler.]

[sugarslice]

I-I- I'm sorry! I don't know what ca-- Oh my god, you're blue, too!

[keywarding]

What?! [She can't see herself very well since she has most of her skin covered with clothing because of the weather but she rips a glove off to check and shrieks again.]

No... no what is this?!

[grannyfucker]

Ohhhh, she probably doesn't want him saying her name out loud or anything because then the cops will know who to arrest for gang activity. He can respect that.

(Or rather, he could if he weren't getting robbed and possibly killed right now. Why, Angeline?! How could you go from being such a nice, quiet girl to this life of crime and murder?)

Jovan holds perfectly still, waiting for her to make her move. The last time he tried to resist a mugging, he nearly got killed. And this time, he doubts some superstrong guy is going to rush in to his rescue.

"...Well? Are you going to do it or not?!"

[sugarslice]

She stares at him with rising discomfort because wowowow he looks tasty, but wowowow that's wrong as all get out.

Alas, the former sentiment is winning. She steps closer to him as if in a dream, like a dramatic reunion or parting between two lovers in a B movie. Her lips part as she draws in a slow breath.

Then she takes one glance down, drops to the ground, and chomps his leg. DELICIOUS DUDE FLESH.

[sugarslice]

I don't know! It just happened to me after I saw a--

[ ding, lightbulb! she drops to a crouch, whips out her phone, and presses it to her ear.

hissing, ] Hey! Hey, are you still there? [ she doesn't know anthony's name, but that's who she's addressing. ]

[grannyfucker]

"Holy shit!"

He starts kicking the bitten leg with as much force as he can muster, trying to knock it free from the grip of her bite. HE WAS EXPECTING A MUGGING, NOT CANNIBALISM. HOW DID THIS GO EVEN MORE WRONG THAN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD GO.

[sugarslice]

NOPE. She wraps her arms around his leg and holds on for dear un-life.

[scramasax]

[And he's again getting a view of multicolored hair - response is... a split- moment behind prompt as he nudges himself to stop balking and acknowledge - ]

- Yes, what's wrong -- ?

[In addition to the apparent, drat.]

[grannyfucker]

He puts all his weight into the final kick, but with Angeline's refusal to let go, the move backfires on him and sends him falling over. Jovan lands flat on his ass on the unforgiving pavement.

"Get off me!" He's practically crying while he screams, not even caring any more if he draws attention to himself (mostly because at this point DRAWING ATTENTION IS A GOOD THING OH MY GOD WHY HAS NO ONE CALLED 911 YET). He's also still trying to get Angeline off, this time trying to slide her arms and head off his leg.

[keywarding]

[Don't mind Holly just sitting on her butt on the side walk looking terrified of what just happened to her!]
