Around town, Saturday evening

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

Wow, this had gotten really bad. Buffy had had herself a couple close calls, which would happen when the zombies were freaking everywhere, and today she really had worn old clothes knowing they'd get covered in things she didn't want to think about, and she'd had to clean off her sword more than once, and while she'd seen some really gross things in her time, that really kind of topped it so far.

She knew it wasn't going to be long before she had to head back to the dorms, but for now, she was still patrolling the streets. And alleyways. And etc. etc. etc.

And at this point it would be advisable that no one sneak up on her unless they wanted their heads removed.


[Open post! Living and undead of the PC and NPC variety welcome. Buffy does not agree with me on the 'welcome' part, but she can bite me.]

A pair of zombies came upon Buffy but they weren't really paying attention to Buffy. They'd gotten bored and were playing leapfrog. One leaped over the other, lost his footing and then lost his leg. How sad.

That would have to be replaced.

Buffy couldn't help it. She watched for a moment, holding up her sword again and muttering, "Even undead, they're immature."

The zombies finally caught sight of the girl and immediately abandoned their game for possible food. The one legged zombie got to his feet unsteadily and had to jump towards Buffy. The other lumbered slowly, teeth bared and stained red and green.

Extra guns and knives strapped obviously to his body and sword in hand, Ronon was out to thin numbers. It wasn't a game to him, not when his friends and students were among the afflicted, but that didn't mean he wouldn't take off the head of someone he'd once known.

Spotting the little blond girl, he figured the zombies would be drawn in like McKay to a ZPM.

When Buffy spotted him right back, she raised her sword in salute and said, "Hey there, Professor." But quietly. Getting rid of zombies was one thing; attracting a whole mob by being excessively loud was another.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon had a moment of 'oh great' when he placed the girl but he wasn't bringing that up.

"Nice sword." His was better.

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

The dead much like the living saw Ronon and were immediately attracted to him. Unfortunately, the dead wanted to eat him. That's why a group of female zombies, one very large, and the other three small advanced towards Ronon.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

It seemed his thinking was correct. Ronon raised his sword in front of him as he moved to meet the group of zombies, no funny quips or witty banter, just a really big fucking sword and snarl on his face.

Sarah didn't want to think about the substances making up the muck splattering her shirt and pants was, and she had some bruises and scrapes from fighting that she hadn't taken the time to bandage.

Whatever. Even if she looked like hell, she was armed, she was trained, and she would stay on this mission until the zombies were gone or she collapsed, one of the two.

The blond girl got a dubious look. Sarah tried not to underestimate based on age and gender -- she got that enough herself, thanks -- but it was hard to avoid. "Did you need an escort back to the dorms?"

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

Buffy, in all her gore-encrusted glory, fixed her with a Look. "Do you need an escort back to your apartment?" she countered.

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah almost looked abashed. "Fair question," she admitted. "Too many civilians are out trying to get killed. I get twitchy."

[zombiemcbitey.livejournal.com]

The zombie had been told to do something, but he had forgotten exactly what it was and was now instead walking around, looking for brains.

Which is why he was headed towards Sarah now.

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Oh, fun, something else to shoot at.

"CIA," Sarah said, because she had to give fair warning if it wasn't a direct attack. "Drop to the ground or I'll make you wish you had."

She was already reaching for her gun. The zombies didn't listen so well.

Jonah was out for a stroll, looking to eat some brains. That wasn't so bad, was it? And look, there was someone he knew! He could make sure she never had to deal with detention ever again.

Jonah, being the nice guy that he was, started shambling over towards Buffy, muttering "braaaaaiiiiins" under his lack of breath.

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

There was some staring when Buffy recognized the hair. "Are. You. Serious."

[trustshisbarber.livejournal.com]

"Braaaaiiiiiins!" Jonah demanded, continuing to walk towards Buffy. He wasn't sure what she was doing with a sword. Probably earning detention somehow.

This was, quite possibly, the least intelligent thing Miss Elizabeth Bennet had ever done. Her home was safe. She was not one who could fight or protect others. She hardly knew how to hold the axe properly. And yet --

And yet, one weekend, she had held her head high and carried an axe, seeking out the undead. She'd been someone else entirely, and yet herself. It implied that she, Miss Elizabeth Bennet, held within her some inherent capability with such matters. Perhaps it had been prescience.

More importantly, there were students being hurt. The radio broadcast indicated that things were worsening.

And so, Miss Elizabeth Bennet was on patrol. Astonishingly, she had yet to be killed, maimed, or turned.

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

Buffy looked almost casual, if blood-splattered and gross when she waved to Eliza. "On patrol again, Professor?"

If she started getting all tense all the time, she just wouldn't be able to do this. She liked keeping things light and quippy.

[clevermsbennet.livejournal.com]

"Indeed," Miss Bennet said easily, bowing to Miss Summers. Light was usually the best way of handling these things. "I haven't decided yet if I'm being noble or imbecilic. Are you well?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben was, truth be told, looking pretty gross. Killing zombies was a very cathartic way to avoid dealing with issues.

"Hey," he said, nodding.

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"That kinda day, huh?" Buffy asked, looking pretty gross herself.

Ignore the drooling zombie making his way toward the pile of broken and severed limbs of his ex-zombie friends. He was scavenging for parts and in no way looking for a fight.

Sifting through bits of zombie sisters, John pocketed a hand with some long hair thing in it and then worked on securing a nicely decomposing arm to his own leg for transport. He would be at this a while.

[momslilassassin]

Ben caught a glimpse and stopped dead in his tracks. "Kriffing hells."

Blossom was quickly getting frustrated with following screams for help only to find zombies. She knew that meant one of two things and the number of zombies she was seeing from the air did not suggest that people were managing to escape. She dropped to the sidewalk to get a change from the bad bad bad aerial view.

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"Why do people keep dropping out of the air?" Buffy wondered. First She-Ra, now this.
