005: Lessons in Zombie Survival

Nov 03, 2010 22:28

The first lesson of survival in a world where everyone hunts you down came into play when Nick decided to just dunk David's head into a stream of water and hold it down firmly. "I'm sorry, I don't understand fish," he quipped so simply while the young man thrashed about. The kid had two options: either turn into an animal and run away or fight back ( Read more... )

Coughing and sputtering, David demorphs.

The fish wasn't the most ideal of David's morphs but it was the first thing that came to mind. Unfortunately, the trout wasn't really bred for survival in the muddy little creek and so he was little better off than he was as a human.

"You could... warn a guy." The fact that this isn't the first time Nick has done this to him doesn't make it any more annoying.

"Hmm, maybe I should ask the Hunter to drop me a text before he tears my skin off," Nick instantly quipped but extended a hand to help the kid up on his feet. "Only cartoon villains and dumbasses warn you about they murdering you."

He did have to give the kid a break; he was probably still experiencing the changes that came along with being injected by the strain that made him into the Horseman of Death.

"I guess Visser Three falls under 'cartoon villain' then."

Fully demorphed, David once again feels the strange newness of his changed body. He's been spending more time in morph lately, an unconscious defense against the changes forcibly made to his human body. A bad habit that Nick's noticed, if this sudden dunking is any indication.

"I can't really morph with a weapon." Despite the sarcasm, the statement is a valid one - one he's been trying to think of how to get around. He tested it and found out his eagle has enough strength to carry his new pistol... but a fish can't really carry anything. Neither can a lion really, for that matter.

"That's bullshit and you know it. Why are you spending more time on four legs?" he spits back. He has been paying attention to the kid ever since he first cried red tears. He was starting to think he was going to become one of those animals permanently...which EXACTLY the catalyst that got David in this mess in the first place.
