North Gate, Saturday noonish

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah was checking the barrier, checking the perimeter, and nervously eyeing the Preserve.

"Calm down," Triela recommended. "If you're too anxious then your decision making skills suffer." Sometimes it helped to be pumped full of conditioning drugs.

Dinah took a breath. Took another one. Yeah, still not calm. "I hate waiting so much." She sighed, and checked one of the makeshift flamethrowers they'd picked up. "Do you think they can climb that wall separating us from the Preserve?"

Romeo had finally stopped crying enough to realize something: Reno and Yurika would both kick his ass from wherever the souls of the undead went, if he stayed inside and made no effort to help. A couple of fortifying shots of whiskey later, and he was ready to head outside.

It looked like more than enough people were guarding the main gate, so he walked toward the north gate, armed with a handgun, and nodded a solemn greeting to Dinah. "Are they trying to get in?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Not so far," she said, nodding back. "There's a few wandering around down the road, but they don't seem to have realized this is a way in yet." She bit her lip, wanting to say something about Reno and Dojima, but not knowing how, exactly. "Are you sure you want to be here?" Because she would've been curled up in a ball, or going berserk if she were him.

Sokka frowned at Romeo. "You all right?" he asked.

Ghanima was walking along the barrier, check the gates and keeping an eye out for her brother. It was unlike Leto to go this long without contacting her, especially in an emergency.

"Ho the gates!" she called out merrily. "I'm looking for an Atreides!"

Ignore the blood on her crysknife or the small splatters at the hem of her dark brown robes. She'd handwavily gone hunting on her way up to the school.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah swung around, shotgun low, and smiled in relief, then felt her face fall. "Professor Atreides, hi! We haven't seen any zombies yet."

Tree. Tree. Tell her he's a tree... "Have you heard anything new?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hey, look, I found one!" Sokka called back.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka had slept in this morning. That was probably kind of bad, all things considered.

"Hiya!" he called out. "You look like you need more people than the other gate does. Any zombies attacking yet?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Not yet," although Dinah looked totally relieved to have more people there. "We're keeping in contact with the other gate, in case that changes, though. Or in case they need help instead." She grinned at him, and gestured to the barricade they'd *handwavily* set up the day before. "We were maybe talking about running patrols around the perimeter, too, even if the fence is pretty high for them."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"We're still secure here," Triela answered, tone completely business-like.

There was a Katchoo stalking toward the North Gate, with boxes of ammo bulging out of every pocket, red, puffy eyes, what looked like a flask sticking out of her hip pocket, and a large-caliber Colt revolver in her hand.

She had no intention of helping defend the dorms, really; she just wanted to kill a few zombies.

"COME ON, YOU @#*&()@# BASTARDS, I GOT BULLETS HERE WITH YOUR NAMES ON 'EM!"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Oh, Katchoo. Saying that out loud might get her shot, so Dinah went with, "Hi, Angry. Very glad you're okay. You get to shoot the first one, if you want?"

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka cheered her on, because that was hot. "DAMN STRAIGHT!!!"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela eyed Katchoo's oversized pistol with approval. "Good choice," she nodded.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin had had an idea. An idea of how to hopefully keep the Zombies from assaulting the Dorms.

It had taken all his courage, but he was now at the walls wearing his halloween costume, hoping to turn the Zombies away.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"..." Triela began eloquently as she stared at Robin.

"What are you doing?"

Yeah, that was a puzzled tone.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka... wasn't sure what to make of that. "Aw, crud, they got Robin! I didn't think zombies ATE felt!"

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

There was one zombie on his way towards the gate. It wore what had once been a white suit, but was now rotten and clotted and stained with blood and pus and grave dirt.

It groaned, its arms outstretched. It smelled tasty tasty brains. Mmmmmm, brains.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah grabbed her flip phone, and called Tony. "Tony? We have incoming zombie. Just one now, but..."

She racked her shotgun, taking aim, waiting 'til it got close enough for a good shot.

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

A few more zombies shuffled to the gate, groaning as bits of flesh fell from their limbs.

There seemed to be some brains here. Tasty brains to nom-nom-nom on.

Mmmm. Braaaaaaaaains.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Because he'd promised Romeo, Sokka looked at all the zombies to make sure there weren't any that he recognized. THEN he let out a war cry and threw his sharp boomerang at their heads.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin hopped up onto the wall where the Zombies could see, but not reach him. He loved his Baron Samedi costume. He pointed to the Zombies.

"Go back!"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo hadn't made it very far over the barricade before she gave up on trying, so now she was leaning against the stupid thing, the Colt propped up on it, trying to remind herself that it would have a hell of a kick when she fired.

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

One zombie did not lurch on its legs. No, this zombie moved like an ape along with its knuckles, dragging its torso along the ground. It had no legs, just a jagged cut along its waste. Every so often, it stopped to tuck its intestines back in.

The thing had massive arm muscles. As a living thing, this zombie had been totally ripped.

It was rather late by the time she deigned to get off the front step of the hotel, and blink herself back to the gate--

--and right near a few more zombies. Who promptly, as promptly as zombies did anyhow, started to shuffle for her.

"I would ask if you ever learn," Viki said, her robes still pristine and untouched by any of the gore around, "but as you're dead, I think it is impossible. Go away."

The zombies vanished, and Viki spared a moment to look around.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah blinked a lot as Viki appeared, zombies disappeared, then smacked herself on the forehead.

"See, this is one of the things I was forgetting."
