[Beginning Thread] An Unusual Welcoming Committee
Characters: Buxell and Zudd, newcomers.
Setting: Various Days; Afternoon; Abandoned Church
Summary: Arrival, friendly zombies, explanations, guidance, bad jokes.
Style: Prose and Action responses welcome.
Notes: OPEN. Arrive alone or in groups, threadjack as wanted, remember to add your character's tags for AC purposes!
Where were you? What were you doing? These might be questions that first come to you as you shift and groan and finally wake up. Eventually your vision will start to clear, and you'll begin to see the dusty interior of an old church around you. The severe walls have been softened by the hanging of thousands of white Christmas lights, interspersed by a few strings of colored ones.
The faces that look concernedly down at you are not in the least bit human. Well, they are a bit human, or the remnants of human faces. The skin of the creatures are gray-ish green and waxy, melted looking so that the mouths hang and pucker at odd angles, the cheeks sagging slackly, the eye sockets drooping. They have hair, but it's irregular and tufted, an old mossy color that reminds one of the bottom of an old pond. Their clothes are in good repair but worn, (thankfully) covering most of their bodies except their arms, which show the same gruesome melting. One of the creatures' hands has become almost like a club due to the disfigurement.
Only their eyes recall humanity, one set being hazel, the other a bright friendly blue. The one with the blue eyes waves his club-like hand, making a smile that looks disturbing with his misshapen face. "'Ello there. I'm Zudd, and this is Buxell, we're your welcoming committee."
[IC Summary]
- Your character will have a basic idea of how to sign on and use the LaLee for communication. Whatever level of competency is up to the player!
- Your character will be taken back to New Ashford to find lodging, be fed, figure out what they want to do with themselves now.
