One Zombie; Video, Action for New Bark Town

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[For a moment, you can hear the confused murmurs of a guy trying to figure out what the heck this thing in his hands is. With a few choice curse words and some shaking the device, the feed flicks on and you get an up close of his face and his eye.]

Well there we go! Ain't this technelogical. Okay then. Holy shit! Any ah y'all out there? Ro? Nick? Coach? You ain't never gonna believe what happened! I got...

Wait for it...

[He splits into a grin and a laugh escapes.]

A Pokemon! Look! [He points the gear down towards the ground to reveal a red pig looking Pokemon.] I ain't sure if it's a girl or a boy, but either way I decided to name it Suee. I ever tell you guys about the time me and my buddy Keith went pig wrastlin'? Now, Keith thought he was big and bad enough to take on a whole pen full'a the bastards, but it turns out pigs are a lot stronger than he gave 'em credit for. He was-

[It's about that time that Suee sneezes and a puff of black smoke comes out, cutting Ellis off as he begins coughing and sputtering.]

Shit- Aha, anyway... Did you know 'pparently I'm supposed to breed these things? Got a breeders handbook 'n everything. That sure is weird, but I ain't complainin'! I am gonna breed the best goddamn suckers you ever did see, just you wait! Hehe...

And y'know what? Now that I think about it- I been too busy takin' all this in to actually think about it 'til now, but- I ain't seen a single zombie since gettin' here! S'that mean there ain't none here? Am I finally safe for once? Man if so, you guys need'a get your asses here pronto! You guys can see this right?

Niiiick? You out there man? Rochelle? Coach?! I ain't talkin' to myself am I?

[Audio] Video is hard ok shut up

[searsblindly]

STOP. I want to hear more of this story! Tell me more about your buddy, Keith and his fight with the oinkbeasts! You were just getting to the good part!

[She don't give a shit about your friends and zombies. You can't just stop a story mid sentence like that!]

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[He doesn't even realize she's blind, and he keeps the video going. Even though she can't see it, his eyes widen in surprise at the sound of her voice.]

Whoa! Well hey there! [He gives his device a wave into the camera.] You ain't one ah my friends, but it's nice t'meet ya all the same.

Oh and, y'know. It was just your typical pig wrastlin' gone wrong.

[Video]

[searsblindly]

[She doesn't exactly advertise it. Why advertise it when you can play the blind card at your advantage?

Also she's supposed to act like she's human right?]

Who are you! You should tell me who you are. It's unfair not to tell a lady your name first, you know. Isn't that a human manner thing? Where you're supposed to be polite to girls? [Nailed it.]

I don't oinkbeast wrestle! How am I supposed to know what's typical?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[And Ellis is slow enough not to even really realize it.]

Oh! Wow, I'm sorry. I guess the zombies ate my manners. Anyways, name's Ellis. [The human comment goes over his head.] Sorry 'bout that. I'll make sure to get some new manners 'fore I talk to anybody else.

I gotta question though! Why ya call 'em oinkbeasts? And you should totally try wrastlin' with 'em. It's a fun game! You and Suee could do it if ya wanted to!

[Video]

[searsblindly]

Your apology is accepted because you were so nice about it! As long as you have learned your lesson, there is no need to so harshly punish you! [Excellent. new favorite human to pick on. He's really dumb and this is so much fun.] Since I am feeling so generous, I'm Terezi Pyrope. I'm a Dragon Tamer because I'm that awesome!

Because they're beasts and they oink! [She is sooooo smooooothhh.] I think I will pass! I am more of a spectator about these things. [Hah. She cracks herself up. The only thing she spectates is how black everything is now.]

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Phew, he dodged that bullet. How could he go on if he offended someone irreparably so soon after ending up here? That would just suck.]

Thanks, girl! It's awesome that you're a dragon tamer, by the way. Man I bet you have some'a the strongest Pokemons, don'tcha? Your name even sounds kinda like a dragon name!

[... Wow, this girl makes so much sense.]

Oh! I geddit, okay. Weeell, you're missin' out, 'cuz oinkbeasts are fun to wrastle with. I still think ya should try it. S'pretty fun t'watch too though! Like I was sayin', they pig piled on top of Keith all at once. I think they cracked every rib the guy had! It was pretty funny- not haha kinda funny, I guess, but seein' all those pigs on top of him... He'd have screamed bloody murder if he could get any air...

[Video]

[searsblindly]

[She turns on her video. It's upside down for a moment before she turns it right side up. She only knows that because she knows what sides the buttons are on. Look at her precious dratini. It is so precious.]

I'm a dragon tamer in training, but it's going to be the strongest and I'll become the strongest! My team will obviously be superior to anyone's!

[She considers calling him rude for implying she's blind, but she's gonna play along for now.] Did the oinkbeasts kill him? What happened to him after? You can't just let someone die unless they deserved it! That's unjust.

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Whoa hello there! Suddenly a face! He grins at her and gives her another wave. When she shows him Dratini, he grins harder. Man he loves Pokemon, it's like seeing things out of his childhood dreams.]

Shit that looks like one strong dragon!

And oh no, Keith's way too tough for that. A few cracked ribs ain't gonna kill 'im! A few weeks in the hospital and he was back in tip top shape like the badass dude he is.

[Video]

[searsblindly]

[She sticks out her tongue at him. Wow that thing is long.]

Pyralspite is going to be the strongest! I was told she can evolve and that's what's gonna happen! She's gonna be strong and evolve.

Do you have more stories about him?

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Your friends not here.

[Video]

[willrememberthis]

[Clementine's interest in this broadcast was originally simply enjoying the sight and sound of this happy, friendly-sounding newcomer's apparent unusual excitement over being here. But that last bit - and on top of it that accent...]

Did you say that there are zombies where you're from...?

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Whoa! What an interesting fella.]

...They ain't? Where'd they go then?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Well hello! It's been a while since he's seen any kids around- for obvious and depressing reasons. They either... all got zombified, or they were rescued. She sure is a sight for sore eyes in that it's real nice to see a kid again after so long. It makes him smile.]

Howdy! Ya sure did hear that. They're all over the place! Can't walk a foot without hittin' one, honestly.

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[He sticks his out too! His is... considerably shorter. Huh.]

Well that's an odd name, but pretty cool too. Sounds dragon-y just like your name.

Oh man, I have so many!

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

Still in your world! Alone without you!

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Oh...

[That kinda makes him sad, and he frowns visibly. Well- they should be okay, right? They don't need him. They'll be okay. That's what he's trying to tell himself, anyway.]

Is there any way to bring 'em here?

[Video]

[searsblindly]

Pyralspite is a great dragon! The lusus of the great Neophyte Redglare whom was obviously the best! She was chosen by a dragon after all!

Good! Because I want to eventually hear them all.

[video]

[usedsuperpower]

_{[Big shrug]}

No idea. No one knows. Maybe you can find one.

[Video]

[buckyouup]

Hold up a second, did you just say somethin' about zombies?

[video]

[ragnarok_strike]

[--yes, another who's pinged by zombies. But not because of his world!]
Zombies, huh? Are you from Clem's world?

[Video]

[willrememberthis]

[Oh, she can understand that. Still, don't mind her for looking more than anything... a bit rapt.]

Where are you from?

[Beat.] I'm from Georgia.

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Lusus...?

[She says some funny words... But he doesn't mind! He's really starting to like her a lot despite it.]

Really? Nobody ever really wants to hear 'em- mostly on account of the fact we're always fightin' zombies, I guess. They just wanna make sure my head's in the game and I ain't distracted, I bet.

[Video]

[francia]

[This guy kind of reminds France of someone he hasn't seen in a long time and grudgingly misses a little bit. That accounts for the slightly amused smile on France's face as he responds.]

Zombies? Really?

[video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

I guess I could try! I mean, I want 'em here... I just dunno how I'd do that! I mean, I don't even know how I got here, yannow?

[Video]

[thisonetime_withkeith]

[Whoooa! She's just full of surprises. Holy shit.]

Really? So'm I! Savannah, to be specific. How wild is that! We're like Georgia buddies!
