 The ruined school. There are still some school buses and cars around. The zombies around here are usually wearing some type of school uniform. |
 |
| "Hey Ken? How do I look?" Ren asked as she spun aorund happily, her skirt almost flying up. She was wearing a seifuku. "Oooh, It suits you super well!" Ken answered with a thumbs up. He was sloppily wearing a suit and tie. The two were standing in a ruined classroom with several uniforms thrown about the classroom most of which were tattered or not the right size. None of the ones taken from the zombies were in good enough condition for Ren to wear but she managed to find a spare in a locker somewhere. Ken killed an undead who was once a teacher and was now trying on his suit, with only a small bloodstain on the outer pocket. They were acting out a teacher/student relationship thing playing school. A stupid kind of playing school with a lot of wrong answers and unanswerable questions. |
| Kuu had nowhere to go, she simply wandered aimlessly among the infected streets and somehow wound up at a school. She carefully made her way inside listening for any undead that might be wandering inside the school and it was oddly quiet and there seemed to be no undead inside the building she was in. She walked through the halls she heard faint talking coming from the other end and, as a reflex, she ducked into a nearby classroom and hid inside one of the lockers. "So why didn't you just take his clothes and wear them if it was so cold?" "He got pushed into a fan remember? His clothes were all ruined after that... oh and so was he." "Oooh yeah... your right!" It was the pair of scavengers Ken and Ren, Kuu didn't recognize them of course and held her breathe to avoid being noticed and she could feel her heart pounding inside of her chest from fear. The two carried on an increasingly insane conversation in such mirthful voices Kuu began to question their sanity. Trapped in the confines of the locker she felt her consciousness once again begin to fade, the voices of the two scavengers sounding farther and farther away and she didn't try to resist. She tumbled out of the locker onto the floor and she could hear Ken and Ren's surprise but wasn't able to make out anything they were saying. She gradually sank into the stygian void of sleep. |
| Star*is shadowing her after escaping the base..dam..he was back this she did not want...* |
| ..... :'( |
| Awaking from his slumber, Scarecrow noticed that Kuu had slept. He could only sense people in their dreams so now he could sense her perfectly. He started to move his horde to surround the School as he started to walk toward it. The exits were totally covered and Kuu wouldn't be able to escape even if she was armed. The Scarecrow entered the school by the frontal gate under the moonlight. The darkness and shadows covered him in between the many undead that were now surrounding the school's exits. |

| "W-which way Ken!?" Ren asked in a panicked voice as she ran behind him through the dark halls. "U-ummm... T-this way!" Ken responded as he turned a corner, Kuu on his back, only to run into another group of zombies, "Nope! Not this way!" he said before almost immediately running in the opposite direction. Neither Ken nor Ren knew how the horde managed to surround them without either of them noticing so they were both rather unhinged and with Ken carrying Kuu on his back he couldn't back up Ren in a fight so they couldn't fight their way out. Even so they still seemed to have a light heartedness about them despite the dire situation. "I uh, I think the whole school is surrounded," Ren said looking out the window into the school courtyard flooded with zombies. "Then we can't get out... then... the roof!" Ken said with a smile, like he'd just come up with a great idea, "We can try and barricade ourselves up there". Neither of them even thought of abandoning Kuu to the zombies and increasing their chances of survival. Even though there was no reason for them to do so, even though neither of them knew who she was, they were risking their lives for her. What goes on in the minds of the mad duo is far from the comprehension... (I changed Ren's pic as I realized she looks too much like Alicia. Its another pic of an OC I did a while ago.) |
| As the horde stood outside the streets surrounding the school, a numerous horde started to flood inside the school, heading toward the location of Kuu. With slow steps, they reached the roof, seeing two other people holding Kuu. In between the horde, Scarecrow came out with a evil smirk in his face. His eyes were glittering red as he walked toward the duo. "You two... Why are you here?" He questioned in a normal tone. "Why are you protecting that girl? Give her to me and I promise nothing will happen with both of you..." He told them in a slightly more threatening tone. (Man, your drawing skills are amazing. I'm the worst at drawing, wanted to be better at it.) |

| Ken and Ren looked at each other... then to Scarecrow... then back to each other. Neither of them seemed particularly frightened by his threat instead they seemed rather quizzical. "U-um... before that could you um... could you tell us how your not being attacked by the zombies?" Ren asked with a smile and stars in her eye's. "Yeah! How about we trade!" Ken added with an equally bright, "We'll give you sleeping beauty for your secret". |
| Scarecrow's expression showed disbelief and surprise. "You two really want to make this trade? I mean, it's nothing so secretive. You're sure about this?" He questioned them making a scowl. His voice also changed to a more normal one. One that someone who didn't expected such reaction would make. His eyes were still glittering red though. The horde around him stood still, as if following his movements. |

| Ken and Ren paused for a moment and said, "One moment please!" in perfect unison before huddling together. "He's really gonna tell us Ken!" "I didn't think he'd actually agree to tell us!" "This is great though! Imagine how much fun we could have if we didn't need to worry about zombies!" As the two were talking amongst each other Kuu, who was still riding piggyback on Ken, groaned, awaking from her nightmares and let out a scream as she squirmed free from Ken's grip. "Whoa!" he yelled as he caught her right before she hit the cold hard tiles of the schools roof, "Ren she woke up!". "Uh oh..." Ren responded nervously. |
| Taking advantage of them drawing their attention away from him. He quickly made a rush toward them and, almost immediatly, snatched Kuu from them. He quickly took out one scythe and aimed it at them. "Never take your eyes away from an predator." He looked directly at their eyes and then, disappeared. In reality, they were parilised from his hypnosis. He then glanced at Kuu. "You're safe now, I'll get you rid of your nightmares. I'm not your enemy." He exclaimed as he walked away from Ren and Ken, who were now trapped on their nightmares. This would only have a small ammount of time though. Scarecrow moved into the horde, disappearing in between them as they followed him. As he walked, he let Kuu down. "You're free to do wathever you want, Kuu. Just be careful with what you choose." |

| "Your... I... know you..." Kuu said to Scarecrow as she struggled to maintain her balance, still drowsy and shaken from her slumbe and trying to recall what she was doing before she'd fallen asleep. "Can you... truly help... me?" she said, casting her eye's upward to meet his, "Show... me... then!" she said with as much energy as she could put into such a soft voice. The world surrounding Kuu and Scarecrow dyed itself in pure white as far as the eye could see, she'd pulled him into her own hypnotism. "My memories are dim... full of inconsistencies, contradictions and falsehoods. Tell me, jester, who are- no... who were you?" she asked him her speech much smoother and no longer stunted by erratic pauses but still softer than silk. |
| Scarecrow smiled. The world dyed in white became a prison, somewhere where not even the dead would have peace. "Who... I were..." He said to himself. His mask broke to reveal his face, pale as a dead corpse. His eyes, full of the red glittering and light rotated like a wheel. "I cannot tell you such thing, Kuu. The playground is not set yet. However, I am the only one, who can eradicate your nightmares... I am the only one, who can destroy your fears." He told her in a more calm speech. The book that Kuu searched for so long, was on her hands, full of the normal pages and information she so much desired. He smiled kindly, a smile that did not fitted his appearece but was still comforting. "Kuu... You're my savior... Just like I am yours..." He told her with his calm expression and voice. |
| Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; - Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III. |
| Kuu clutched the book tightly in her arms. It wasn't real, and she knew that but simply holding her precious item was enough to soothe her mind. In an instant the surreal world of white shattered like glass returning both of them to the nightmare that was reality. Kuu stood there, empty handed and wore an unreadable expression, "We're... each others... saviors" she repeated to herself in her usual manner of speech then smiled in acceptance. She then looked over to Ken and Ren, who were frozen in place with empty eye's, "Who... are they?" she inquired with a tilt of her head. |
| Scarecrow's mask was back in its place. His eyes were also unlike they were in the world of imagination. His eyes were now with the same red glittering but still. He closed them as he looked toward Ken and Ren. "I don't know, but they're stuck in their nightmares right now. After some minutes they'll be set free though." Scarecrow told her as he looked foward and made liight growl. His head was aching and pulsating from overusing his powers. He slowly lead his hand toward his head and rubbed it lightly. "So, are you following me? If so we need to move on. I won't be able to hold off this for to long." He explained to her, opening his eyes and looking toward her. |

| Star is watching this..and thinks dam this is bad...very bad. |
| ..... :'( |
| Kuu nodded lightly, "O... kay... but first..." Kuu walked over to Ken and Ren, still frozen in place, and turned their heads toward hers. Hers and their vision locked with each other and they both fell too the gorund, light returning to their eye's. "Mama.. Papa... I'm sor... ry? W-wait... where...", a confused Ren muttered. "Ren, I didn't mean... to... H-huh? What the..." said a dazed Ken. They both had no idea what was going on but when they saw Kuu standing before them they both felt a deep guilt build up in their chests for what they were going to do to her. Kuu could see this and gave them a soft smile. "You... were going to trade me..." she says in her velvety voice with a sad face. "W-were sorry..." they both respond i perfect unison. "I... could have been... tortured... or... killed," she continues causing them the two to sink further and further into guilty despair. "Were really sorry!" Ren blurts out, almost in tears. "Y-yeah! We'll do anything to apologize yeah?" Ken said sounding equally desperate. They were both staring directly into Kuu's deep crimson eye's there was no way out for either of them anymore, "Then... protect me... make sure no harm... ever comes to me..." she tells them calmly, like casting a spell, and they both immediately agree with a simple nod of the head. "Okay... lets go," Kuu says, turning back to scarecrow. |
| Scarecrow gave her a smirk. "You're a little devil, you know that?" He joked to her in a low voice. He then turned himself toward the horde, that openned a way for him and the others. "Come on... We'll be going to the sewers. The most deep part of them." He told them as he walked toward the sewers and openned an entrance for them. "Let's go." He told them as he lost his control over the undead that dispersed and walked toward they were before he initiated his control over them. |

| Kuu nodded and followed Scarecrow, her walk so smooth it looked more like she was gliding through the air than actually walking, and was swiftly shadowed by Ken and Ren who were now being uncharacteristically quiet. (Next Post Neutral: Sewers) |
| The hummer rolled up to the entrance to the courtyard of the school, sprawling with the remnants of the undead horde led there by Scarecrow. Alicia let out a whistle when she saw the surprising amount of undead wandering the forsaken complex. "Damn... this is way bigger than an infestation..." Alicia said as she signaled for Chris to turn off the engine, lest it attract the horde, "No way in hell she's in here..." |
| Chris immediately turned off the engine even before he was signaled to. Ray simply looked around at the undead. "No, she isn't. But she might have been." He stated, pausing before continuing. "Like you said, Sweetheart, it's too big to be an infestation. That means some dumbasses, or maybe a scared and desperate little girl, attracted them all here somehow." He proposed his idea. "Or maybe I'm completely wrong and we just had wrong intel. But I think that's more unlikely." |
|
| Alicia couldn't help but sigh whenever she saw Ray's inexplicable sympathy for Kuu. To her it was like hearing someone defend Jack the ripper to a London prostitute. "Well I guess we should get to work then huh?" she said as she jumped out of the back of the hummer and cracker her neck and knuckles, "Is it time for a Thunderstorm?" she asks Ray referring to the tactic her platoon uses which basically equates to a distraction. |
| "Something wrong, Sweetheart?" Ray questioned her sigh as he observed the surroundings. "Thunderstorm? Sure, go nuts." He told her smirking as he got out of the hummer. "I'm gonna take a look inside. Chris you can watch the hummer or help out Sweetheart if she needs it." He told Chris, getting a nod in return. |
|
| "Nothing wrong," Alicia said casually as she walked up to the entrance. She had a wide grin and with a a powerful kick she sent the iron gates barring the way flying into the courtyard, crushing several undead right off the bat and grabbing the attention of the rest. "Come on you ugly bastards!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as she charged into the oncoming horde, yet behind the seemingly blind fury lied more as she was gradually drawing the horde away from the entrance to the school as she tore through it. |
| "Right... Well, anyway." Ray chuckled as he watched Alicia for a few moments before heading into the school. He was wandering around the hallways, peeking in the classrooms every once in a while for any sign of a clue or living person's existence. There were a few corpses wandering the halls that hadn't been drawn by Alicia's distraction, however were easily dispatched by simply slamming their skulls into a nearby wall. "Seriously, nothin'?" He sighed in annoyance as he continued looking around the school. |
|
| Moon*folowing them*"So any one going to tell me what happen back here?" |
| ..... :'( |
| Chi arrived at the school and kicked a rock on the ground. She huffed and twirled a knife in her hand , bored. |
| Moon... |
| ..... :'( |
| Alicia was casually sat atop the storage shed behind the school staring at it with a bored expression. Strewn all across the track and field were the mangled corpses of undead. Her battle high was wearing off and all that was left in her was content as she happily whistled "Fly Me to the Moon" with surprisingly perfect pitch. Right now she was simply waiting for Ray to finish up inside. |
| Moon"so are you going to tell me who attack us?" |
| ..... :'( |
| Alicia stopped her whistling mid tune and looked down at Moon, "They called themselves the ASC, the American Star Corporation, they are or were NEOH rivals apparently," she explained as she adjusted her position into a laying one, with her head rested on her hand, propped up by her elbow. |
| Moon"just great. that all we need, a war" |
| ..... :'( |
| Ray comes walking out of the entrance with a bored expression. "Well, that lead no where." He said to himself as he signaled to Alica, Moon, and Chris that she wasn't inside and that they could go. Even if she did attract a bunch of corpses, she's gone now. What was weird is that if she really did attract them, there were no real dead undead. And if she had lured them and then ran off, the horde she attracted would probably be chasing after her yet these were just shambling around the school as if they had always been here. |
|
| moon"now were to?" |
| ..... :'( |
Kidbuu504 said: Silence *sees chi and recognizes her and pulls up next to her* "How badly infected is this area?" "Sorry don't know." Chi answered jumping to the top of the top of the building. She sighed and swung her legs from over the ledge. "This is boring. To make things worse I do.'t get to go on missions anymore.*sigh*. What a boring place." |
| "I don't feel like saying." Chi said looking down at him. |
| "Once infected, always infected. The science geeks might be finding a cure. But I doubt it." Chi said chucking a nife 2 inches away from Silence. "How's it down there? I think some undead are headed yoyr way.." She giggled throwing down some more knives. |
| "Nah nah you're ruining all my fun." Chi said collecting the knives. |
| She threw 3 knives into the heads of 3 undead. She giggled and continued to throw knives down. "What happened to Aki-chan?" She asked lookng down at Silence. |
| Tatsu was walking past the courtyard. A single undead groaned and began to approach him. He drew his hands from his pockets, fitting his gloves on. With a split second low kick, he knocked the undead down. He then began to beat the head off the undead into the pavement. In that moment, all his anger, fear, frustration, and emotions were released, and he went on a rampage, beating the undead's face into the ground until there was nothing left. He dropped, exhausted, as he sat on the torso of the undead that had once occupied that space. |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| Alicia walked up to Ray with a smirk that just screamed 'I told you so' and slid her hand into the pockets of her duster, "Nothing there?" she asked in sort of mocking tone and continued to walk past him to the entrance with where they'd parked the hummer just in time to see a scavenger brutally beat an undead to death. She let out a whistle and walked up to him still wearing the same smirk she gave Ray, "Fun... isn't it?" she asks referring to killing undead for sport. |
| Tatsu looked up to see a girl standing before him. He smirked. "Frankly, I prefer them when they haven't turned yet." He got up, shaking the blood off his gloves, and began lighting a cigarette. He eyed the girl suspiciously. "Name's Tatsu," He said. "Cigarette?" |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| "Alicia" she introduced herself casually, "and no thanks I don't touch that crap, though I'm sure Chris would love to share one with you... speaking of which where is the chain smoking bastard?" she asked herself looking toward the hummer to see if was still around. |
| Tatsu shrugged. "Suit yourself," he said as he put the cigarettes back. His eyes glanced over at the hummer. "Nice ride. Where you people headed?" |
| My Anaconda dont want none unless you've got a brain, class, and aren't acting like a total hoe.~ |
| "I have no bloody clue," Alicia said bluntly as she shrugged, "We're looking for this snooker loopy bitch that belongs to us but we're basically driving blind here". |
