The Dorms: Early Afternoon [4.5]

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

Their master had spoken, and the zombie horde obeyed. He demanded the fresh blood of Fandom's children as a sacrifice upon his altar, new minions to begin the invasion of the mainland, and so they would carry out his command.

No matter what.

From somewhere undefined a drum beat carried on the wind, and the zombies of Fandom marched forth, the dorms beckoning them like a beacon. Here there be brains, here there be blood, here there be flesh.

Here, there be prey.

The Barricade

Hold that line!

Arthur... was still at the barricade. He hadn't actually left, although he had grabbed a few hours of sleep once everything had settled in to his-- well, not his liking, but at least something he could live with. You couldn't fight in the morning without some rest and food.

It hadn't been much, though. With his crossbow now traded in for a shotgun (after some unpleasant conversation with Triela) he peered between the barricade. And...

Well. That's what he'd been worried about. He cast a look along the barricade, to anyone he might see. "It's time," he called, and pulled his helmet over his head. "Fight bravely; it's your homes at stake, we've no lack of strength and determination. We won't fail here."

...at least it was a brief motivating speech.

Once the alarm was sounded a strange menagerie of animals appeared on an odd looking contraption (http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/in/interplay-uk-ancient-fighting-machines--trebuchet.jpg) being dragged into position by a giant husky.

Who was wearing a hat. Don't ask.

Dinah had managed to get about five hours of sleep the night before, in between shifts at the North Gate. She was back again, more weapons and more supplies at hand, waiting. Last night's quick altercation with zombies, and her talk with Viki (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1611439.html?thread=133427631#t133427631) had left her as prepared as she could be.

We few, we happy few. Somewhere, Geoffrey was probably cackling what was left of his head off. We band of brothers....

Andros wasn't about to morph even though he had that option as a back up plan just in case. What he did have though was his auto blaster and spiral sabre that he was more than willing to use in defense.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela hadn't slept last night, but she looked completely well-rested as she set about tightening her bayonet to the front of her gun. She suspected she'd need it.

And she looked pleased by the prospect.

Re: The Barricade

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

He'd debated going up to the roof but figured he'd done okay here yesterday so he could hope that good luck held up today. His cheek wasn't throbbing nearly as much and it was finally bandaged (without a paper towel) so he could ignore that.

Didn't need much talent to shoot, after all.

Re: The Barricade

Tahiri had managed to grab a couple of naps, and was still drawing on the Force to keep her energy up. She knew she was supposed to be guarding the Preserve side of the grounds, but there was no mistaking the mess of everything that she could sense through the Force, and the fact that it was all coming up from the town.

That was where the fight was, and that was where she was going to be; the rooftop contingent could keep an eye out, over here.

She'd already had one school get invaded. She wasn't a fan of having it happen again.

So here she was, sprinting up to take a position at the barricade, her blaster was in her left hand and her lightsaber in her right, already ignited.

"Not Shamed Ones," she mumbled to herself every now and then. Just as a reminder.

Re: The Barricade

Sword of Protection drawn and ready for the fight, She-Ra made her way along the barricade, having sent her noble steed off to keep an eye on things from the sky.

Even in the early afternoon, there were shadows for his sort to hide in, to skulk around and through.

Reno had always lived in the shadows. Death would be no different. Only now, the shadows cast came from a barricade, a wall between him and his prize within. Meat. Brains. Victory.

And even in death, one flicker remained of his old Turk mindset: No matter what.

Re: The Barricade

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey!zombie who was lacking a special icon had never been here, but there was so much delicious soundingsmelling food here. Familiar scents too, like... the blond one. And, er, the other blond one! And the annoying one. Ones. Or something.

Did the color affect the taste? Mrrr.

Re: The Barricade

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Duuuuuuude," came the groan, as the one handed, one-eared zombie known as Hurley shambled towards the barricade. In its good hand, it had a severed, hairy woman's leg.

You can thank Toby for that. Apparently, it planned to use it as a tool to attack the barricade.

Re: The Barricade

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

If only his father could see him now...

...okay, maybe not because his father wouldn't know what the hell to make of zombies. Still, he was getting some battle experience and that was always a plus.

Even if the zombies made him grimace and he wanted nothing more to just be in the library or something today.

Re: The Barricade

[withoutverona]

Romeo probably should have been up on the roof, if he had to fight at all.

He wasn't. He couldn't be in this fight and not in its middle.

He uneasily paced along the barricade, watching for zombies to come close enough that he'd have good aim. This wasn't time to waste ammo. The rod Reno had gotten him was strapped to his back, but he wasn't secure enough with it to view it as his first option in a fight.

Re: The Barricade

[always-damp.livejournal.com]

Striking a pose as if to say, 'You there! Come take my coat!' Toby stopped in front of the barricade.

His long, maggot-coated, female replacement leg stretched out at an attractive angle in its decomposing glory atop a high heel, calling all the boys hither for a gruesome feast of brains.

Re: The Barricade

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

A trio of zombies shambled towards the barricade, their focus intently on the meals that lay behind it. They left bloody footprints in their wake as the moved.

Right foot, left foot, so close...

Re: The Barricade

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

Two zombies were approaching the barricade, their long, spindly hands reaching out in an attempt to shake it and move it so they could get by. They wanted food, they want blood, they wanted meat.

As he ignited his lightsaber, Zayne took a moment to give his trust to the Force. He and the Force weren't frequently on speaking terms, but he had to believe that he hadn't survived everything he had up to this point just to die here.

Re: The Barricade

[solo_sword]

Today Jaina was staying at the barricade. If this whole thing worked out, there wouldn't be a reason, and if it didn't, there wouldn't be a point. She had a couple blasters on hand, but it was her lightsaber that she was holding, ready for whatever came through.

The Roof

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

For the distance fighters, and any zombies that have managed to get past the perimeter defenders and scaled the walls...

Re: The Roof

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn wanted up onto that roof. There were brains up there.

Of course, it was had to get up there and hold her arm on.

The First Floor Lobby

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

For the wounded, and a safe place to reload and grab a drink of water.

Re: The First Floor Lobby

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela wasn't fighting. No way.

But even she just wasn't going to hide in her room. She was down in the lobby, studiously working on not panicking, and there to help. If anyone got hurt she could bandage or... something.

Later that Afternoon at the Barricade......

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

It was a perfectly good barricade, but it could not hold forever.

Not in its current state, at least...


[Wait for a particular prince to ping in, please! Barricade a la flambe, anyone?]

Re: Later that Afternoon at the Barricade......

[bitchprince]

Well, this obviously wasn't working.

The zombies were simply too many. They'd have to back away and close the gates, especially considering the massive amount of scaling going on. Had we mentioned before how Arthur really wasn't fond of the odds?

"Stand back!" he ordered at the top of his voice, and ran for a... well, a flamethrower. There weren't a great deal of torches on hand. "Anyone with a flamethrower, focus your fire on the barricade! Close the gates when we're through!"

Fire and zombies - a very good combination for any occasion.

[[ for anyone who might want to help SET FIRE TO THE DORMS, yes ]]

Defending the Gates

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

After the barricade has been set alight and you've fallen back, keep fighting any zooooooooombies that have managed to breach the gates. The roof (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/1611908.html?thread=133432964#t133432964) is, of course, still open for zombie-invasion as well.

Re: Defending the Gates

[bitchprince]

Now that their long range was pretty much shot but for the roof, Arthur had discarded his (empty) shotgun for his sword. That felt a great deal more natural, so it was with a grim, slightly predatory smile that he got to work.

The Roof - Afternoon

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

During-and-post the burning of the barricades. Now, more than ever, you must hold your position.

Re: The Roof - Afternoon

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin was beginning to think he was getting the hang of this distance fighting. When he wasn't frantically searching for where Arthur got off to.

He always had him half in sight. Just... in case.

OOC

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

To keep the zombies out!

FH!Zombies: Don't forget, you won't be able to get inside. Please assume that the defense team has been successful in holding you off until the curse is lifted. You can come as close as you like; gnaw at the doors, claw at the windows, and scale the walls and make it to the roof if you want, but you're not getting in.

ETA: You can all blame bitch_prince for asking me first thing this morning; "Is it bad I'm half-hoping we'll have an excuse to set the barricade on fire? It might be my inner pyromaniac coming up." It made me re-write the OCD three times.
