_{( sulu's voice sounds a little belabored, like he's been exercising. his words are curt and to the point. )}

Apparently going for the head isn't going to cut it. In case you were wondering.

_{( there's a sound of something slicing, the ring of metal, and then the feed cuts out. )}

( » action )

_{( most people would run away from the creepy skeleton creatures, but sulu is determined to find a way through them. he can be found in various city locals, taking them on with a super cool^TM sword. you should come say hi. or help. or get into a damsel-y scenario. whatever works, really. )}

They're from my world. Holy shit. They're called Boneys and headshots won't cut it. You have to take them apart. And don't let them bite you, or you'll turn into one.

[excelsiors]

_{( here's sulu, wiping something off his forehead with the back of his sleeve. )}

...so they're zombies.

_{( that just kind of figures, doesn't it. )}

[grigio]

They make zombies look like teddy-bears.

If you've got a phaser set it to Kill, the damned things are already dead anyway.

[ Fuck it, he's been incinerating the bastards. Belabored and panting, Jim sure as hell isn't messing around with the monsters today. ]

[excelsiors]

Easier to cut them up then aim in a way that dismembers, sir.

_{( which is his way of saying my methods are better that yours, all due respect. )}

[hischair]

Just as long as you're not the one trying to rip out my eyeballs at the end of the day.

[ DO WHAT YOU GOTTA. His voice hushes, bringing the comm closer as he backs into a wall, the echoes of Boneys off a couple of streets away. ]

Where are you?

[medicos]

You anywhere near the hospital, Lieutenant? Need a hand for a moment.

[excelsiors]

I can be.

--are you alright? _{( would mccoy sound not alright even if he wasn't? would he just be more pissed off that a zombie was eating his arm, or something?? )}

[medicos]

[ oh, he'd be cranky, alright, but that's not the problem. ]

We're trying to barricade all the entryways in the hospital. Block all the windows to keep the staff and patients safe until these nasty things go away. Need some people to distract them, is all. We don't have a lot of fighters here.

action » i've decided that you get him too

[olduvai]

[ he fortunately has gotten permission from the shooting range in which he works in to take a few weapons - a couple of pistols and a rifle - in order to get back to his own apartment safely. he's halfway down the road when he sees a couple of those creatures attempting to attack sulu while he's busy slicing up a few others ( and wow, who uses a sword these days? ), and shoots them down before they get way too close. ]

yes good

[excelsiors]

<sub>( it takes him a second to register what's happened, when the boneys just crumple before him. the ground around him is littered with bits and pieces of others, and quiet frankly it's all a bit disgusting. still, sulu's still braced for an attack, though he takes a moment's reprieve to clean some of the gunk off his katana and look around for the source of his unexpected aid.

john's not quite close enough for sulu to see--or gawk at--his face. )</sub>

Thanks. _{( that comes out as a not-quite question. because sulu could've handled it. probably. )}

[olduvai]

[ he edges closer, anyway, just to see of the guy's really alright. julie says something about not being bitten because they'd turn into one of them ( that sounds incredibly familiar, honestly ). ]

You sure you want to be taking on these guys on your own?

[ it's a genuinely curious question. not to underestimate him or anything - he knows a soldier when he sees one. ]

[hexuality]

Blasting them apart works nicely. Can't cause chaos when they've been shattered beyond—

[Sharply,]

Confringo!

[What up, that's some stuff exploding right now!]

voice;

[excelsiors]

_{( since he can't see all that: )} You okay?

_{( don't die, ginny, he'll be so mad! )}

voice;

[hexuality]

[THE SAME TO YOU. X( ]

Oh, they're like Inferi from back home. Nothing I can't handle.

[A little breathless but pumped full of adrenaline; this is what she's good at, fighting is what she knows.]

I'm not nearly as fancy as you.

[eiremagic]

Not much fucking does. Got a sword?

[excelsiors]

Yeah. For all the good it's doing, at the moment.

audio;

[candothat]

[Does it sound like there might be animated zombie-skeletons running around in the background? Yeah? Probably, because there are. Getting in trouble, what.]

How many slices does it take to incapacitate one of these creatures?

[Chekov might sound out of breath. He might be doing a lot of running.]

audio;

[excelsiors]

I haven't exactly been counting.

_{( heavy breaths, heavy footfalls. )} If you can get their legs and their heads, they're pretty much down and out.

--Where are you? Are you alright?

audio; starfleet comm

[logistical]

Mr. Sulu, what is your current location?

[Spock will deny all accusations of sounding worried, or irritated. It's there, the barest inflection, but otherwise he seems perfectly calm for someone who's experiencing his first zombies.]

[excelsiors]

Just outside the main circle of town, heading towards the hospital.

You alright, Commander?

[directives]

I'm not entirely sure where that "go for the head" mythology came from in the first place.

[ she's only passingly familiar with zombie anything thanks to a holodeck program she pretty much noped out of the moment it surged up against the hologrid around her. ]

[excelsiors]

They have skeletons. It works with most vertebrates.

_{( or it should. isn't that how science works?? )}

voice

[affectioning]

They have to be dismembered completely. And they don't stop coming. They also have friends...

[excelsiors]

You'd think they'd be less popular. With the wanting to eat people bit.
