[Matching Rapunzels.]

Do you think so? Seems dangerous, which means you might be on the right track.

[He'll just. Move some of her hair to make sure there are no visible injuries on her body where it falls, and gently turn her over to check her back, too. Just in case there's some written confession hiding under there. He's using his sleeves to cover his hands because he learned his lesson about touching things directly from strychnine party 2k19, at least.]

[ . . . well, this sounds fine. fate and irony demand that higekiri stand in front of H, all things considered. he blinks once, twice, and then knocks on the fridge.]

... Pardon the intrusion.

[and then he'll move to open it again, speaking softly and commenting almost more to himself]

If you're who I think you are - I've heard we have a lot in common.

[there's nothing wrong at all with speaking to a corpse who also has brother trauma before you rouse it from its sleep right. though to the others he'll speak a bit louder:]

Perhaps after we gather all the documentation, we can try that.

[She grabs one of the packaged syringes and shoves it in her pocket, too! Neat.

Then she's checking out the sink and the weighing scales to see if there's anything obviously off there.]


I can get on, if we want to try that.

[...]

You could, but just be careful. Also, other fun theory, what if the syringes were used to pump our corpses with this green liquid to stop them from dying and rotting? [Huh. So...Higekiri has H, and Junpei has J and he pauses for the time being.]

...you were the detective before me, I'm guessing. [Great. He's also talking to corpses now, but Junpei also talks to furniture sometimes it's just a thing that happens.] Jason, if I recall. [But he's going to open it carefully, still preparing himself to attack a zombie if he has to.]

[personal profile] givethemhell 2019-11-12 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I mean - cool air alone wouldn't keep a corpse this neatly preserved, yes?

[He'll just gently place the sheet back over "N", in any case, and shut the fridge door. Bye Rapunzel squad member he never knew...

He then moseys so he's about halfway between where Junpei and Higekiri are, and halfway between where Beck is, just in case he needs to move to either side to help A) fend off zombies or B) pull Beck from a trap. To Beck (but it applies to everyone tbh):]


If anything starts to seem off or strange, say so right away.

[hige knows nothing about corpses because he really does walk away once people are dead - but he'll listen to them all anyway.]

Excuse me, excuse me... Nothing odd here so far.

[aside from the whole situation being odd? but he'll pick up the documents to read again, and also pull back the sheet to see if this figure has a face!]

Okay. I'm gonna go for it, so... I'll let you know if anything happens.

[Since there's nothing on the scales or in the sinks... She's taking Junpei's suggestion and hopping up onto one of the autopsy tables, bonesaw still in hand. Does anything happen if she carefully lays down?]

[Well. Okay. He's going to grab the documents first to read, scanning them over for review. He's also, once he's done, going to pull the sheet back while still holding onto the items in his hands because none trust.]

Seriously, just be careful. [He's gonna lowkey fret about her a lot because out of all of these people she's the most normal tbh.]
givethemhell: (curiouser still)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2019-11-12 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah she really is which is why Wei Wuxian's attention is definitely shifting more to her than to the other two as she actually hops up onto the table.]

--Careful with that.

[The bonesaw... GOD. Hopefully she doesn't see anything horrific on the ceiling.]

[well so much for not being surprised by anything anymore in this place.

there isn't a great amount of time for him to react - but there's a noise of mild irritation as his hand falls to the hilt of his blade, though he isn't able to slash before H's body slams into his own. he's knocked to the floor by the brute strength of it, but he doesn't scream when her teeth find purchase against his skin. there's only an irritated growl worthy of a far larger lion in warning.

the arm shoves against her collarbone, trying to force her off of him, and he twists his wrist to adjust the angle of his blade, intending to slide the metal of it right between her ribs to pierce where her heart would be.]


Why couldn't you keep sleeping like the others...!!

[honestly hige is fine please go help junpei]

No!

[She pushes herself off the table immediately once she sees those words and realizes what's happening. Out of the two of them, she thinks Higekiri is probably more capable of protecting himself, which means that she's bolting towards Junpei. As she approaches quickly, she's attempting to slam the sharp edge of the bone saw into the creature's head.]

Junpei - hand me one of the green jars!

[There really isn't enough time to react because he suddenly yells and leans back as far as he can from the zombie's claws, immediately unlocking the safety of the gun and firing straight into the eye, or hopefully. Please enjoy the loud, exaggerated moan that comes from said-gun.]

Take it! [He had one in his hand and he passes it to her. He has a free hand now and, stupidly, slips his left hand into his pocket to slip a rainbow-colored brass knuckle on before hauling back to punch the body back as hard as he can in the chest.] What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck!

[AAAAAW YEAAAAAH ZOMBIES!!!!! Why does every break-in he goes on involve zombies wow, he really is the pied piper of zombies.

Anyway he's also leaping into action quickly! Just running right past one of those rattling freezers fuck you zombie stay inside. WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED MORE HELP Junpei has Beck helping him but they're both normies?? If Higekiri is still on the ground he'll head that way, but if a bonesaw and ahegun don't take down the other corpse, he'll zoom that way instead.]


—Keep the heart in one piece if you can, just in case!

[They're looking for a demon heart aren't they?? These are zombies but also like, who knows, maybe it counts as a demon heart.]

[human bodies? awful.

but he rather hates the notion of being defeated by a human's corpse when he's already managed to slay a demon - even though his teeth are obviously grit and bared at the pain that shoots through him. it's hard to hear between the blast of a gunshot and the way that suddenly everything feels like he's been set aflame, melted back down to nothing but steel. he regains himself just barely, dizzy, battle instincts taking over as he slices at the claw that reaches for him, though not before it manages to slash at his cheek.

but he doesn't stop there even as he pushes himself to his feet in a movement too practiced, too graceful. something in his chest tells him to slice more, to cut more, to reduce the zombie to ribbons and he doesn't even think about wwx when he moves his sword again, aiming to cut the zombie clean down the middle.

...and if that works - then to decapitate it. and then to cut off its limbs before it even hits the ground, laughing through the pain.

sometimes,,,, you are a sword.]

[She drops the saw after she hits the creature with it, breathing heavily and trying not to focus too much on the black goo that gets on her during the impact. As soon as that's done, she's turning towards the others to make sure they're okay - in time to see the damage Higekiri is undergoing, and one of the other monsters heading towards Wei Wuxian. It seemed like a good idea initially, coming here with three people who she trusts deeply - but the fear that courses through her as this happens is almost incomparable to anything she's experienced before.]

Don't—

[That's about all she has time to say before N slams into her, completely succeeding in knocking her off her feet. Beck gives a short cry of surprise and mild pain when she hits the floor. She reaches towards the zombie's hair, digging her fingers in and holding it away from her as best she can. Of course, that doesn't do much to stop it from scratching. Without the bone saw, her first inclination is to reach for the scalpel, but - it's so small, and the jeans she arrived in are tight enough that it would be difficult to dig it out of her pocket with her free hand at this angle. She's making small, panicked noises as she tries to think of what to do, but—

After another split second passes, she's raising herself up just enough to reach behind her back and grab something she's had tucked into her waistband, just in case. Once the ladle has been pulled out, she tugs harder on N's hair, pulling her head back - just so she can shove the long, thin end of the utensil straight into her eye socket with considerable force.]

[That's disgusting and while there's very little time to celebrate the fact he blew a zombie's brains out, there's even less time before he's also covered in black goo. RIP LEATHER JACKET. Still, Higekiri goes to town on H and with J dead Junpei's focus is on both A and N. A nyooms to WWX and Junpei rattles around in his pockets for a moment to pull out a second brass knuckle.]

Heads up! [And he's throwing it as hard as he can at A in order to try and knock the creature off-balance and give Wei Wuxian time to move or attack.

He's never fought zombies before, but he's definitely watched a lot of movies. As such, he also moves once he sees Beck hit the dirt and he even manages to grin at her, slightly manic and slightly hysterical, when she shoves a ladle into N's eye. He runs past, to grab the back of N's hair and try to fling her off of Beck, moving her out of the way enough to try and put a bullet into N's head.]
I take back everything I said about letting you come along.

[Beck is the best, but here's hoping WWX doesn't try to tame the zombie. Oh god, shit, fuck.]

[JUNPEI IS DOING HIS BEST AND YET...

Anyway wow yeah that sure is a zombie heading toward him, huh. And unfortunately, Wei Wuxian is who he is!! Which means one of two things happen: If the brass knuckles make contact and distract A enough to make it seem like A will head over toward Junpei, he's rushing in to just fuckin full-body tackle it barehanded and try grabbing both of its wrists to restrain it. If the knuckles don't hit or do and A just isn't deterred from coming after his ass, on the other hand, he is moving - like, rapidly away from the rest of the group, backpedaling as quickly as you could expect from a light-footed swordsman of a twink, with his arms wide open. NO MORE TOOTHY FRIENDS FOR HIS OTHER, BETTER FRIENDS TODAY.]


This way, if you'd please—! Let's see if we can keep that poor body of yours in one piece!

[So polite to zombies...

Anyway if it comes at him he will still be trying to wrist-grapple to restrain it. LET HIM HOLD YOUR CLAWED HANDS, A.]

[haha, denied.

unfortunately, as everyone is fucking dying, higekiri is having a grand old time. even when H screeches and has no hope of escape, he continues to slice. he doesn't even seem mindful of the goo falling on his treasured brother's jacket, or even his own blood coating the collar of it. normally he's much cleaner than this, purposeful, but it would seem as though that doesn't seem to be on his mind at the moment, skewering the body once more neatly before flinging his arm and throwing the body off his blade.

but he continues his laughter and delight, feeling his soul-deep need to be in battle fulfilled as he moves to run forward to follow after wwx and A. he doesn't even seem to bother with much of a warning, aiming to slice off the zombie's right arm once he's close enough, as though she's the same as the demon he cut down this past weekend.

it might be a bit of a close shave with the tip of his blade if wwx isn't mindful of him, huh.]

[She cries out in pain as claws sink into her abdomen, pained tears welling up at the corners of her eyes. When Junpei tears her off, the claws are pulled out, too, prompting another sharp noise. Blinking her good eye several times, she puts a hand on the injury with a deep, labored breath. Her other hand reaches out to take Junpei’s, since it seems like Higekiri has the last zombie handled.

She isn’t bothering to wipe the goo off herself.]

[God this is so much noise. He fucking hates this. He still has cat ears and THEY CAN ALSO HEAR ALL OF THIS GODDAMN NOISE AND HE HATES IT!!! For a brief moment he's watching Higekiri finish off H even if the sound's made him a little dizzy, but with Wei Wuxian grappling (perhaps unsuccessfully at first) and Higekiri making his way to A, he's busy focusing his attention on Beck.]

Come on. [He's taking her hand and hauling her up, pulling her closer almost as if to shield her from anything else that might come after them. On the other hand, he's just going to eye her abdomen to make sure the goo isn't at risk of entering the point of injury, wiping it off with his hand and backing her away from where the other trio are in combat. Normies out.]
