Not all undead are alike
[It's a good thing Silence monitors the phone lines, despite being unable to use them himself. He gets the news of the zombie spread early, and isn't even taken much by surprise by it - his own world has zombies, though they don't spread there as they seem to in Mayfield. But this is Mayfield; nothing works as it should.
His immediate priority is to make sure Lucas and Crowe are safe; after that, he can make efforts on behalf of the other citizens of Mayfield. Lucas is easy enough to find, since they live together; he can do no more than to give him a firmly worded note, of course.]
STAY HERE, AND KEEP HIDDEN. STAY SAFE.
[Unfortunately, he's not at all certain Lucas will listen...but he has to leave if he hopes to find Crowe, so all he can do is hope for the best.
His wings help him canvas the town quickly, and he eventually spots that familiar blue-streaked hair and drops down nearly in front of his friend. His expression is one of wary concern; he doesn't know if Crowe might have been infected already, and isn't going to risk going for his notepad until he's certain.]
[Crowe looks startled when Silence lands there, but immediately relieved when he sees he's unharmed. Crowe isn't injured, but he's got a few scrapes, a few bloodstains, and a pistol gripped firmly in his hands.]
Ah! Silence, you're okay? Thank God... I don't... Whatever's going on, i-it's awful. I-I'm trying to find anyonewho's still okay a-and need somewhere to go, a-and trying to get them to the church. I-I think that would be safest for now.
[Silence nods, looking relieved for his own part. He couldn't get a good look from the air, but Crowe seems fine - certainly not undead, and Silence knows a few things about the undead, technically being so himself.
He pulls out his notebook, scribbling quickly. They won't be able to communicate like this much, not with the time it takes; Crowe may be getting a crash course in reading Silence's body language in short order.]
YES. LET ME HELP. AM A PATROL OFFICER IN MY WORLD. MY JOB = PROTECTING PEOPLE. ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
[Technically, he's asking, but he intends to help even if Crowe refuses him.]
[Crowe quickly reads the note, nodding.] Ah, thanks. Yeah, some help would be great. Let's go.
[OOC NOTE: Crowe and Silence will be working together over the entire course of the event to help people either fleeing zombies or being actively attacked by them! Feel free to tag her with a character looking for shelter/in peril, and both characters will come to their aid. Or, of course, if your character is a zombie and looking for people to attack...Silence in particular is going to get bitten. |D And any character is free to approach just to talk, of course, even if they don't need help!]
