Zombie "fun"times (closed)
Who:Cortana, Winter, and Steve
When: 15th of August
Where: The beach
Summary: Cortana decides to go investigate the mysterious bodies, bringing some friends along just in case.
Warnings: Violence, gore, mutilated bodies, zombies, possibilities for attempted drownings, trauma
Decaying dolls washing up from the ocean? ...Strange, but not enough to cause her to feel a need to investigate herself, especially given that there were a number of people already doing so.
...She'd rather not have to experience simulated drowning again, thank you very much.
Unfortunately misshapen still moving bodies that might have once been human at one point are much more concerning. News of an unmoving but severely mutilated body appearing the next night only increases her worries, and when it turns out that the corpses washing up are those of missing people ...she has to check. It doesn't sound like the Flood, but she has to see for herself. Has to be sure of the exact nature of this new threat.
She goes out to examine the beach (and any possible bodies) the very next day.
It would be stupid to go alone, of course. Naturally, she asked some friends. If those friends happen to be Winter, her combat instructor, and Steve, who is built like a slightly shorter Spartan, well, that's just being prepared for a possible fight.
"Thanks guys." She'll smile at them as they near the beach, then pick up the pace for those last few yards of distance before everything comes into view, before stopping so abruptly she nearly slips on the sand.
"That's ...more bodies than I was led to expect." She swallows. "A lot more." The reports suggested there'd only be one or maybe two, but this...
Her gaze sweeps over the scene. Fifteen visible at a glance, likely to be more. Just how many people have been taken?
