Just your friendly neighborhood Lich King

Its that time of year, Exsilium.

ITS THE FEAST WINTER VEIL

Which is really just Christmas in Warcraft shh.

It also means its PLOT TIME YAY.


So here's the scoop, ladies and gents. On Tuesday, December 11th, an inconspicuous pen will appear in the center of initiate hold, housing all types of adorable little woodland critters (rabbits, squirrels, sparrows, etc) with a sign posted that they are to be adopted and cared for by transports. They're all motherfucking adorable and disturbingly well behaved -- obviously used to awkward interactions. They don't even shy away from you undead types.

Sadly, its not meant to be. On the eve of December 13th, each critter will simultaneously begin to succumb to a strange disease. It will start with lethargy in the early afternoon, passing onward to refusing food and irritation (will will result in biting this is important for the next part) and finally will end in death.

What a nice Winter Veil gift. 3 days just long enough for people to get attached to them.

Within 5 minutes of dying, each creature will resurrect into a flesh-hungry undead creature. They will flee from all hostile movement and will attract hordes of undead that Arthas has been raising and stockpiling since his arrival. Good on you, Exsilium, for dragging the Lord of the Undead on top of a battlefield full of bodies, eh?

That log will go up Friday, December 14th.

Now, if you opt to be bitten by your furry little friend, CONGRATULATIONS. You have now contracted the plague of undeath and will succumb to the same fate as your companion if you are not cured by some form of holy magic within 24 hours time. Undeath takes different forms for every species, so have fun with that if that's something you want to do. If you would like general guidelines, please note that your character will be shifting into a form of lesser undead.

What that means for you is that your character will:

- Lose most/all sense of self
- Gain an insatiable hunger for flesh and blood
- Be compelled to obey Arthas' commands
- Probably be very ugly for the duration of their unlife


Your character will remain this way until killed by another, at which point they will go through the normal resurrection process outlined by the game rules.

There will also be a minor hostage situation as Arthas will be locking down Jaina Proudmoore to prevent her from spilling the beans early.

I will put a general mingle log up on tuesday for people to use to pick up the animals and another on friday for when they all turn and start attacking people.

QUESTIONS? Ask below. B) Feel free to plot fight groups and such amongst yourselves in the comments below as well. I'm not going to organize a formal march on Arthas as he won't be present for most of the attack inside of Initiate Hold, but if someone else wants to head that, I will happily oblige.

For once, Ionae's misanthropy works FOR her, as she'd never bother with a pet.

Anyways, following the tradition of all zombie movies ever, I think the best time for DRAMA is while the living dead attack from every direction. What do people think about Ionae's role in shooting Takegami come out in the middle of all this?

hilarity is the name of the game! so would you like a grumpy marine or a snarky pyromaniac with your ninja? either way i'm sure plenty of hilarity will ensue.

I was going to ask about that actually, since in Final Fantasy canon healing magic actually damages the undead.

Does this mean Rinoa can try to hurt things only to find out that she's fixing them? Because that'd actually be kind of funny.

Sadly she doesn't have access to holy right now so no massive strikes of holy damage from her, but someday maybe.

Hells yeah. o/\o

Probably a very literal clean up for their suits involved by the time this is over.

Undead bits everywhere. Awful stench.

He's basically a walking one man extermination team. He doesn't standard carry a flamethrower but he's fully capable of either getting one from the arsenal or improvising one.

Sadly she's currently suitless. Her pull point didn't afford that luxury, because I'm mean. So unless there's suit to be found around the city (which I don't know if that's a thing or not), then she's.... going to need to wash her uniform. :(

I actually need to see about how one fetches armor in this place, for real. Also she needs more guns. Just one isn't enough even if she does love her assault rifle.

oh god i love both no lie

let me see i should also permission check with you re: axel -- sakura's one of those pesky game imports, and she's known of axels past. basically if you want me to have her conveniently forget this she'll lack what would otherwise be present in narration. I AM GOOD with whatever

god back to i love both
who is more fun for you with a ninja
sakura can probably keep up with axe's shenanigans and speed where-as for calhoun she's a reliable soldier and covers really darn well

She can't cook and she's awful at household chores, but it's okay because she can protect you, Rika!!!!

Gosh, I really want to make a joke about her being almost like a cliche husband right now.

Aw, this goes straight through my finals week! :( but that's ok! I'll make an effort to participate. Asami's a helper, she can try and herd the infected to the same place so that they can be dealt with or healed at once.

Or something. ~BRAINSTORMING

Awesome, then Shep will have a gun! It'll probably seem a little archaic to her since they're more or less based on guns from the 1920s, but the concept is still the same; point and shoot.
chargethesebatteries: (are you pondering what i'm pondering?)

[personal profile] chargethesebatteries 2012-12-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
oh god don't make me decide i am the most indecisive LMAO. Axel's actually more likely to just hide in his apartment and give absolutely no shits about zombies because lol that's what you idiots get for adopting wild animals. Calhoun will be much more inclined to be running around trying to help people, though, so she's probably more likely to bump into Sakura.

i don't mind if she knows who Axel is tho, for future reference, that'll just make him even more confused. XD he's already heard from Riku about what happens in his future and he's like o_____O;;;; so. i'm sure hearing this pink-haired ninja he's never seen in his life knows all about him will only make the aneurysm come faster. it'll be great. i am way behind on Naruto but i do love Sakura so i'd definitely be down for CR with both characters!

Ahaaa poor Shep!

A full suit probably not very easily/cheaply but scrap parts and guns are plentiful. (Samus has been digging for parts and tools to tinker and maintain her own suit with.)

You can never have too many guns. Never ever.
chargethesebatteries: (hrrrrrrmmmmmmmm)

[personal profile] chargethesebatteries 2012-12-10 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
i can't decide if she will think zombies are more or less exciting than cy-bugs. XD; i guess we'll see.
specthis: ([Bemused] I think you're kind of a moron)

[personal profile] specthis 2012-12-10 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
It'll probably seem really archaic to her. Speaking of which there will probably be something similar to an OMG A GUN THAT ACTUALLY USES BULLETS? WHO EVEN DOES THAT ANYMORE??

Still a gun is a gun and she's damned good at point and shoot.
wilder: (ROSE POWER)

[personal profile] wilder 2012-12-10 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Now let's go and be awesome Team Pink together.

She'll definitely be slightly out of sorts. No armor or shielding system makes her life so weird. She's no longer got a shiny barrier that blocks the first several shots that end up coming at her, means she can't be quite so reckless. :(

Haha, yeah. Full suits of armor can't be easy to come by. If she ever found out about the other her, she'd totally ask if she left any loot behind.

Damn straight, this is the start of a wonderful friendship in the making. Yes.
