Eleventh Tentacle

[cuttlefidget]

[Early morning on the first day of THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, Daniel heads outside to check the mail. Not that he ever gets anything interesting normally, but he's been trying to introduce more structure to his life. Structure is calming, right

[Mart has been fighting his way through Mayfield all day, smashing zombies left and right and there's still no end to them! He sees the strange green light off in the distance and rushes over to it, could be a friend in danger after all...]

[cuttlefidget]

[Nope, it's not a friend in danger, just a friend screaming his ass off because he's actually doing pretty well, and that's scary.

Everything is scary when you're Daniel Chroma.]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[And Mart'll just jump in front of Dan, taking a nearby drone zombie and using it as a club to beat up the other nearby zombies.]

Hey Dan, how's it going?

[cuttlefidget]

AAAAHOH IT'S JUST YOU MART YES HELLO UM YOU MIGHT WANT TO MOVE!

[Standing in front of a gun of this power is a very dumb thing to do, sharkboy.

Of course that never stopped you before.

TZZAAAAP! A few more dronezombies are reduced to piles of sludge.]

If ninety-five percent certainty counts, then yes.

[Estonia's leaning against the kitchen counter with a notebook and pencil, a rifle from a few events ago leaning beside him.] The only point of entry I'm really unsure about is the picture window in the living room, and even then, it's only if the zombies adapt enough to the situation to start chucking each other at the window. [Token glasses adjustment.] Even then, it's fairly defensible, though once they've breached, we're a little bit screwed.

[cuttlefidget]

Ninety-five is probably the best we've got. Um. Maybe... we could put something in front of the window? Bar it up with... something.

[A chair wouldn't really work, would it, but if they stacked enough furniture...]

I guess we just h-have to keep watch on the weak points. Between the two of us and Raquel, it should be fairly easy? We only have to watch the first floor.

[webfreedomftw]

Unless they can climb that tree along the side of the house.

And, hmm... [He'll take his notebook, pen stuck behind his ear as she goes to eye the living room from the entrance to the kitchen.] Any suggestions on it? I'd rather keep it something easily dismountable, just in case.

[cuttlefidget]

[Daniel visibly deflates.]

Oh, right. The tree. Um. Maybe they'll just... not think to try it. They don't seem too bright?

And I guess. I guess we could stack furniture...?

[Now he feels stupid. Estonia is so much better-prepared than he is. And Estonia doesn't have to drug himself up to stay relatively calm. That's just all Estonia.

So jelly.]

[Quinn's been staying inside, but the strange green flashes and yelling get his attention. He comes outside wielding an aluminum baseball bat.]

Danny, man! You okay?

[cuttlefidget]

OH QUINN YES I AM FINE JUST THERE SEEM TO BE RATHER A LOT OF THEM?

[He is the most calm, Quinn. Can't you tell?]

[techno_mancer]

[He grabs a trash can lid along the way, and bats off one of the zombies in the head as he makes his way over.]

Jesus, man, get the hell inside! It's a fucking nightmare out here!

[Quinn is cursing. Quinn only curses when he is A) angry or B) terrified.]

[cuttlefidget]

WELL NO YOU SEE I NEED TO GET SUPPLIES JUST IN CASE THIS LASTS FOR A WHILE SO I KIND OF AAAAAH CAN'T GO INSIDE THAT WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE MOVE!

[He'll just. Shove you out of the way of an incoming zombie, Quinn, so he can zap its head clean off. Who gave a man like this a gun like that.

Someone needs to slap them.]

[ GODDAMNIT DANIEL, watch where you're aiming that thing. Pretty little Ozma was standing behind one of the zombies that Daniel shot at, a cluster of kitchen knives floating around her.

Luckily, her height works to her advantage, and she's able to send the knife she was about to work into the drone woman's back flying into a different zombie, but still. She glares up at Daniel as the body in front of her drops to the ground.]

You might want to watch where you shoot that thing.

[cuttlefidget]

OH NO DID I HURT YOU?

[This is real horror on his face, Ozma.]

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!

[ Daniel's doing a bang-up job, really, but a few stragglers break away from the hoard. Ian comes bounding out of a nearby tree and cuts them down with his sword.

Flicking the grime off of his blade, he moves around to a direction where Daniel is not liable to point his gun ]

What in Mercy's name is that thing?
