Happy Dia De Los Muertos!

Nov 01, 2006 05:11

From the mists, a huge zeppelin suddenly appears, slowly descending to the ground. There's an eery, otherworldy feel to it, as if it were ethereal without actually being so. Upon landing, a door opens in the gondola, and out emerges a skeleton. He is jovial in appearance, with colorful markings on his face that indicate his nature as a calavera ( Read more... )

Having mercifully showered away the cowboy dust and changed clothes, Junior is suprised to see someone else still in costume here. At least, he hopes it's a mask.

"Yo," he offers, haltingly, a little tired, but easygoing. "I think Hollister's is more of a drinking spot, this place is mostly social, far as I've seen."

Hey, sounds like a great idea! Thanks, kid! You living folks ain't half bad -- but then, if I didn't like you guys, I wouldn't keep driving folks in for the Day of the Dead anyway.

Living. Dead. Ulp. Okay. He's staying pretty cool, since this place has already thrown him a number of curveballs, of course, this shouldn't be any suprise.

"Day Of The Dead, huh?" He swallows, imperceptibly, brow narrowing. "Pretty popular holiday, I guess. Good to know we're likeable. ... What's the best thing, ya think?"

Ah, it's gotta be the life. All that sorta hopeful thinking. There's a lotta goons down there that've more or less given up on really livin', ya know! But here! Oh man, the food, the sounds, the smells... great stuff, buddy, great stuff. But I only get to come once a year, so I gotta eat it up while I can.

...Blink, blink. John stops and stares for some time.
And promptly charges off towards the spirit of an insanely tall fifteen-year-old with scruffy hair and a military uniform. "...Sam? Sam, is that you?!" he's yelling, his heart pounding.

*Well he didn't need THIS as well as everything else today! Running away now thanks. Stupid Nexus.*

Um, you seem... kinda familiar. *In that 'didn't an undead version of you try to chase me down?' kind of way, of course. At least he's not rotting. That's always a good sign, right?*

Death looks at the other skeleton curiously. WHO ARE YOU?

driverofthedead November 1 2006, 18:47:47 UTC

Oh hey, you work with the Department of Death? Haven't heard too much about what's been going on in there ever since the major reshuffle a few years back. Lotsa corruption and conspiracy stuff. I tell ya, the day you can't even trust DEATH to do what it's supposed 'ta...

Well anyway, Jose Zapata, driver of the zeppelin of the Day of the Dead, at your service.

7_ft_skeleton November 1 2006, 23:19:44 UTC

Death looks at him for another few moments. WHAT?

driverofthedead November 2 2006, 02:41:31 UTC

*eyes him* You ain't with the department? Ohhh, you must be from one 'a them places where Death's just one guy, eh? Sorry, your uniform fooled me for a sec.

Peter looks wide-eyed at the line of spirits. "Uh-uncle Ben?" He runs up to the smiling old man.
