Event Log: Dead Men Walking

Who: Everyone participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Dead Men Walking event!
Where: All around the city
When: September 14th-September 20th
Warnings: Zombies. Walkers. The Infected. Zeds. The undead. Risen.


Everything seems more or less normal in Hadriel on the 14th - at least at first. But wait, who's that over there? Why are they walking so weird? Are they feeling okay? Wow, did they just try to bite you? Oh shit, you might've seen a movie like this before. That was definitely a zombie.

But hey, it's no big deal. A few zombies here and there are pretty easy to avoid, especially when you can outrun them without too much trouble. They're only really dangerous if they're fast or if there are a lot of them, and they sure aren't fast! Only - well, before long, there are a lot of them. You can hardly go outside without running into one, and mobs form quickly. Went out for supplies? Let's hope they didn't follow you - you might get stuck in that shop, mobile corpses pounding on the door. Oh, and don't stand too close to the windows of your house. They'll be more than happy to smash the glass trying to get you.

Don't worry, though! A hard blow to the head will take these zombies out, and you'll be sitting pretty, as long as none of them bite you. None of them bit you... right? Wow, what a relief. We're all glad you're not concealing a life-threatening zombie bite from your friends! Who would do that, anyway? Now if you can manage that until the 20th, you'll be safe and sound as the zombies shamble out of the city. Hopefully you won't be shambling with them.

"You don't need names to know when a thing is dangerous," he says with the tone that implies everything he is saying is utterly reasonable.

"You call 'em the Sons, yeah?" Whatever those are. "Ain't that kind of a name?"

"But you gotta call them something, right?"

Miriam shakes her head. "The Sons of Plunder. But that's what they call the group, not--themselves. Even their boss doesn't have a name, they just call her the Commander. But it'd be weird if they just had a commander in charge, right? Why not like, a general or something?"
skelebro: (shrugs illustratively)

"Titles always seem to attract that kinda thing," he says with a careless shrug. "Why's there gotta be a hierarchy in the first place? Why're they Sons? Who're the parents? Do you think Plunder much cares if a bunch of humans are goin' about assignin' themselves a presumptuous name like that?"

He spreads his arms wide. "I got an awful lotta questions here. All things considered, names aren't even very high on the list."

Miriam thinks about it for a moment. "I guess. I dunno. Names always seemed important to me."
skelebro: (chinhands)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-09-26 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Seem important to a lotta people, it seems like." He surveys her with sockets at half-mast. "Kind of a hierarchy of 'em, isn't there? You got your titles, your more familiar names."

He doesn't have to be much more than "the skeleton," after all. Here or at home.

[personal profile] dogsanddaughters 2016-09-26 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe." She's quiet for a moment. "It's just, it's all I've got from my parents, you know? They named me. They're probably dead, but at least I've got this. So it matters."

Sans nods with a short dip of his skull, sitting back in his seat.

"Fair enough." He won't push the point. He doesn't have it in him. Really, he's just gonna have to sit back and take a nap or twelve in the next hour or so. "Anyway. I think I'm a little overdue to catch some Z's."

Miriam nods. This is heavy talk. Maybe it's better to sleep than play cards. "It's probably safe here, for a while."
skelebro: (i'll get up tomorrow)

"That's the hope, I'd imagine," he says with only the faintest shred of irony. He simply kicks up his slippered feet onto the table and leans back in his chair with his hands linked behind his skull.

He, uh, doesn't really mention taking shifts or anything like that. Just kinda goes for it and starts to snooze.
