[bossfedora]

[There is a zombie wandering about. He doesn't look particularly vicious or bloodthirsty, and his gait is actually pretty steady; no shuffling about. He seems to be examining a comm in his hands, and despite the green skin and glowing red eyes he might even give off an air of sophistication.

What a nice undead man.]

...just so you know I danced out this entire tag. :|b

[gneeisnotanoise]

[Aaaaaaaand from the other side of the hall, a weedy little figure with a grating, tinny little voice is-- GASP!-- out of the library! Hanna's been TRYING to find information on the Good Ship Lollipop Elegante for a few days now and.... Hanna Falk Cross is not made to sit still for that long. He's got too much pent-up energy and nothing to do with it, so--]

This thing-- called love! I just! Can't handle it! I must-- get round to it!

[--it leads to spontaneous dance numbers. He stops in a pose, arm thrown out to the side, hip cocked in a bad Michael Jackson impersonation, as he starts to soft-shoe down the hall.]

I ain't ready! Crazy little thing called love!

[And he starts swinging his stick-skinny, birdbone pelvis in a (slightly better) Elvis impersonation, but he drops it-- the soft-shoeing was fun, he's going toe-over-toe, foot-over-foot, shaking his ass like an idiot as he makes very, very slow progress down the hall, strutting his stuff for all it's worth.OH NOW this thing! (This thing--) Called love! (Called love--) It cries

seriously you are just so cute, you are

[bossfedora]

[And this zombie right here is going to come to an T-intersection moments after Hanna passed it; of course he heard him singing, and saw him dance his way right past the hall.

He pauses and when Hanna's glasses slip down his nose and the redhead stops to catch them before they cracked on the floor, he helpfully provides the missing lyric.]

Crazy little thing called love.

AAAAAH WHAT fffff /)_(\ thank you?? also 1/IDFK

[gneeisnotanoise]

[And Hanna barely notices that someone ELSE had finished the song because he totally heard the lyric in his head, right? He stops dead after adjusting his glasses and points out to an invisible woman walking by--]

There goes my baaaby! She knows how to [enter the Elvis hip-swing again] rock and roll! She drives me crazy--

[He spins and winds up facing his partner, eyes squinted closed--]

She gives me hot and cold fever! She leaves me--

[his eyes open, and his train of thought promptly derails.]

--in a... cool...

1/3??

[gneeisnotanoise]

[Hanna stares for a good, long moment in complete disbelief-- far be it from his nature to be embarrassed by being caught dancing-- it's his partner.]

[teethofneedles]

[Oh hey, fellow dead person. Karis comes to a sudden halt and stares. What is this?]

[bossfedora]

[{...} glances up when Karis stops and stares for a bit also, though his expression doesn't really change. After a second he nods his head politely; now is she dangerous or no? Past experiences told him that apparently most zombies were the flesh-eating, human-killing kind though he'd never met another face-to-face before.]

Good afternoon.

[teethofneedles]

[He talks! That's good. She thinks. She nods at him, lips twitching into a smile.]

Hey. Always good to see another deader.

[bossfedora]

[Oh sweet, she's not mindless or violent. At least not immediately violent. This is actually really interesting, and {...} lowers his comm a bit to pay her more attention than just passing acknowledgment.]

Is that uncommon here?

[unamvirtus]

[QUIETLY JUDGING YOU OH SO SUBTLY from behind this here corner. Green Tree Man?]

[bossfedora]

[NO HE'S A REDEAD

Kidding. He's not. He's just leaning against this wall and flipping through the comm, trying to figure out exactly how it works and how to bring up the map function, but he feels eyes on him. Hm.

He glances up with those DEMONIC GLOWING RED EYES and sees Link and...tips his head kindly to him before returning his attention to the communicator in his hands. Now was that all a ruse or is he actually a nice redead zombie over here?]

[unamvirtus]

[Actually he is PRETTY SURE he's not some freaky kind of redead because he hasn't been inappropriately assaulted yet. That or this guy is just too lazy to give a shit, but somehow Link is doubting that one, so he approaches slowly.

And my god this guy is HUGE. Not like, huge-huge but really friggin' tall, and Link almost got used to not being towered over in all his solitary confinement and everything. He pauses awkwardly, not sure what to do since it's obvious he know he's been spotted now, and he decides it's always best to be friendly just in case, so he waves back.]

[bossfedora]

[{...}'s returned to his comm-fiddling, but it doesn't last long because Link is still standing there. ...does that child have pointed ears?]

Are you lost?

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice is inherently curious by nature, and therefore absolutely HAS to go speak to this...er, person. Creature. Whatever. She stops right in front of him.]

I do beg your pardon, but I simply must stop you and pose this query to you - what is it like?

[bossfedora]

[{...} quirks a brow in her direction, politely removing his attention from the comm in his hands to address her fully.]

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

[entirelybonkers]

[Alice gestures to him as if it really ought to be obvious.]

Why, being dead of course! I've never seen anyone quite like you before my arrival here, and when I met Lady Karis it was my very first experience and while it was a bit strange and odd it was also rather enlightening.

[Alice pauses, looking worried.]

I'm terribly sorry. That was awfully presumptuous of me, what if you aren't and I've just made a total imbecile of myself? Oh, do accept my apologies, I'm terribly sorry!

[bossfedora]

[Weird girl. Hanna would like her. {...} holds up a hand to stop her before she apologizes again though, not wanting her to get too far in insulting herself over nothing.]

It's all right. I'd like to tell you what it's like, but I'm afraid I don't remember when I was alive so I don't have much to compare it to.

[havea_heart]

[Herz has seen several oddities since he began life on the Elegante. Un-dead included. The certain member of the un-dead, though? First time. So pardon the black-eyed stare as they pass, dude.

All he can think is really, what weird hair. Also, those stitches look kinda painful.]

[bossfedora]

[Wow hey, that dude has black eyes. That's kind of supernatural, right? Hanna might've drilled him if they'd met, and he might know where to find said detective.

{...} stops and nods politely to Herz.]

Good afternoon.

[Bro he is as tall as you are, isn't that cool?]

[havea_heart]

[What--

What a polite zombie!]

A--afternoon.

I--

I'm sorry,

[He totally knows he was staring at you, duder.]

I haven't...I haven't seen you around before.

[bossfedora]

It's all right. I just arrived.

[However that happened.]

...may I ask you something?
