+ The horde is coming +

[vitaelamorte]

As Tweedledee and Tweedledum announced yesterday, an event is coming up! Check out the details on the Bulletin Board and then come back here to plot!

A couple reminders:

• All deaths are Mansion deaths.


• The closets give only weapons, except guns and ammunition.


• Characters with stockpiles are in luck! The stockpiles came through intact. Stockpiles are the only sources of guns and ammunition.


• Powers are nerfed so that all people are susceptible to zombies.


• Robots and other non-organic characters are not of interest to zombies and are not susceptible to the virus.

With that, there's a FAQ thread, as always. Ask any questions, there!

Re: + Q&A +

[screwedontight]

It says food stockpiles will still be available. Any stockpiles of guns and ammos they had I'm going to guess won't be available?

Michonne, Jane, Henry, and Claire

[thesamurai]

OH BOY THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT. So glad Michonne shook herself out of her bullshit funk in time.

Michonne Will be walking around Alexandria on day one, trying to make sure people have enough to get by and basically tense with anticipation, just waiting to see what shit hits the fan first. When the hoard hits, she'll be out with her katana, killing walkers left and right. If you need a rescue or a limb cut off, she's your gal. At the end, she'll be dragging bodies to burn or bury.

Claire is available for any and all medical situations including amputations. She did a lot of those in the field during the war. This is also her first 'oh God' event, so if anyone has booze at the tail end please let her get drunk with you.

Jane is great at fighting and canonly knows how to use a sword, so she'll be out with that, in the thick of it.

Henry will be wherever his family is, lbr. After the invisible zombie thing, he'll be attempting to stick close to his mom.

I'm up for plotting with any of mine beyond any of this so please let me know if you want anything with any of mine! Save for an open post with Michonne to the network, I'll mostly be tagging around.

This is for plottin' peeps!

FRISK + TIM WRIGHT

[postictal]

FRISK has dealt with zombies before, thank god. Unfortunately most of their "dealing" with zombies involved running from them while Chara kept them safe. This time Frisk is going to have a priority on keeping Asriel safe, since he's had some very nice events thus far and this will be his first unpleasant one, and seeing as he's adjusting to Wonderland still that's gonna be Very Very Bad. They will be, as is typical, attempting not to kill the zoms in question (what if they're still people in there??????) but they will not balk at self-defense, and are willing to help use their energy shield to protect people!

TIM's priority will be Jay, unsurprisingly, but he's also gonna be keeping an eye out for George, Shaun and Buffy since he knows they're well-acquainted with zombie shit. Plus he's dealt with zom George and Shaun before so he's not inexperienced at least. People who've interacted with him in the past might know that uhhh Tim doesn't carry weapons usually. Except now he's gonna be changing his policy, for Jay's sake if nothing else.

[burntvideocassette]

o hai there zom-buddy

Zack, Dorian, and Wheatley

[zackthekiller]

MUAHAHAHAH!

It's a good thing Zack's a serial killer who likes to slash things up with his freaking scythe! Guess he gets to murder a whole bunch of zombies and he will frickin' LOVE IT.

That being said, he is most likely gonna get reckless and blood thirsty, so if anyone wants their character to get killed by something that is not a zombie please let me know.

As for the other two, I won't be focusing much on them for this event. Dorian will be waiting out the Zombie rush. At this point, he should have learned to stockpile food whenever he sees an ominous event announcement. Wheatley, on the other hand, will probably not be very helpful at all. He will most likely be used for zombie bait, and if that doesn't kill him he will most likely be in desperate need of repairs. Hopefully the science types survive...?

PLOTTING COMMENT DO NOT REPLY

[zackthekiller]

Newt, Seth, and Wendy

[screwedontight]

Newt: Mostly he will be in the background. If for no other reason than he kind of doesn't get that zombies are not people, dammit, and stop trying to protect all people. May tag here or there with him but not much of him this event.

Seth: Seth has been stockpiling guns and ammo since day one. He is loaded with weapons and has stockpiles of food. He's going to hole up in a house with people that matter and aren't hold up elsewhere and wait it out, telling himself it's going to end eventually. So open to ruining these plans.

Wendy: She needs to be watched over. She's going to be all for getting a crossbow from the closet, perching on a roof and trying to take out zombies. Really open to anything with Wendy. She needs any new CR she can get.

Plotting post

Sarah Weller and Liv Moore

[blackbirdsing]

Sarah will be wherever Ray is and also checking in with Kurt every chance she gets because she knows how he is. She's not great at weapons yet (she's learning but don't depend on her to aim and save you with a gun) but in a moment of bravery she would do her best to help someone if needed.

Liv, as a zombie, is going to have a lot of Feelings about this. I mean, she could kind of whistle and go about her business in a 'nothing to see here' kind of way, but she doesn't look or smell dead, so she's just as much of a sitting duck as everyone else. To that end, she'll be happy to help people and if you'd like to plot it out, she could go full zombie mode (enhanced strength and speed) though it clearly won't make her blend in with the other zombies, it'll just seem...X-Menish. Lemme know if you wanna plot!

plotting comment!

[blackbirdsing]

Asriel Dreemurr

[pleasereset]

This will be Asriel's first dangerous/bad event, as he's had pretty much all nice events up this point (his first event was the ski resort). He's going into this incredibly naive, and when he wakes up he'll probably assume that there's nothing to be afraid of.

While I don't plan on him dying and getting zombie'd, he's definitely not prepared to fight. He'll probably get attacked and forced to hide a lot of the time. He'll also be looking for his fam so he'll probably be running into a lot of zombies.

[determinedest]

brb omw to save goat

Shepard and Alphys

[normandysbest]

HAHA WELL

So Shepard saw the announcement and went "oh absolutely fucking not" because she remembered ANOTHER zombie event where the Mansion took her supply caches and is probably right now setting the whole thing back up again. The good news is, there's a bunch of bullets and heat sinks (the type of bullets her guns take), but there's... well, those caches are mostly bullets. She was kind of mad. Regardless, she's gonna be spending this event doing what she does best, which is climbing to the highest place she can with her best silencer and headshotting zombies until she's clean out of bullets. She's a sniper and an infiltrator and will be moving and protecting everyone she can, mostly solo like a trainwreck. But she won't stand by and let people get hurt so uh, if a zombie's running at you and suddenly hits the ground without a face, you've got a sniper angel to thank!

Meanwhile, Alphys is terrible during these kind of events so she'll be hiding as much as possible. If she gets any weapon it's gonna be a sword because it looks anime as hell but like god she's useless at it. As usual, she'll need some help out of this one, but will be doing a lot of hiding.

My tag counts are still high from the DDMD event so probably neither will have open posts, but I'll be tagging around!!!

[geiger]

I've been waiting for a chance for Nora and Shepard to meet!

Regina, Josuke and Hawke

[hairdont]

All three of mine are gonna have open posts, but the specifics --

Josuke can heal, literally anything except death and in the case of the event, the virus.... which actually works because Crazy Diamond can't heal illness anyway because of how it works! He can also punch things really fucking hard so he'll mostly be in MAKE SURE NOBODY DIES mode but can also use Crazy Diamond to repair fortifications and... anything else, he's kinda bullshit.

He'll have prompts for healing, punching zombies and fixing stuff so if that's your thing, hit me up!

Hawke will be throwing fire left and right, along with some ice magic to slow them down and make them easier to kill. He can't make a fire big enough to engulf the horde though, so that's out :( He will be trying to keep people safe but also keeping his and Cullen's giant dogs from eating zombie flesh because... no? Please don't do that.

Regina will mostly be focused on keeping Zelena and Henry safe, but can also throw fire, do protection spells and heal wounds! So Josuke but less OP. She won't go out of her way to help people but she also... won't kick them into the horde anymore.

[moraloutrage]

Perhaps Ishimaru and Josuke can meet up once more! He'd be glad to help with the fortifications.

George, Dipper, Kon

[choosetruth]

George IS SO HERE FOR THIS EVENT lady is used to zombies and she's been stockpiling guns and bullets. She'll be sticking close enough to Shaun that she can be sure either both of them die or neither of them die because that is a healthy way to relationship. She is going to be sad if she has to kill people she knows but she's grown up knowing that the bite's what kills you and shooting them before they turn is a mercy and especially here where you'll come back and have to face what you do.... keeping people from hurting other people is a kindness. So she's here to help put anyone down who needs putting down and also here for rescuing people or ANYTHING THAT NEEDS DOING. She's prepared.

Dipper's big trauma is that he is going to be killing Wirt after Wirt gets bitten. After that he'll be a little shellshocked and probably just hanging with his family and staring at a wall and counting down the minutes til Wirt gets back. IT'S FINE. HE'LL BE FIIIINE.

Kon is going to die, I think. He's used to being invulnerable and with power nerfage up, that's going to be a problem. He'll be taking his usual risks and they will NOT WORK OUT FOR HIM so sobs that'll suck.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT/NEED MY PEOPLE FOR ANYTHING. idk if anyone's getting open posts but they'll be tagging around

ADDITIONAL STUFF

[choosetruth]

do not comment!

Zelena, Jolyne, Ryoko

[wickedwest]

I'll put up something for Zelena. She'll be around and having learned to use a sword from Regina recently, she'll probably try and help. Well, help family and the few of you she knows, the rest of you guys are on your own.. I'm leaning against killing her off during this one, but if any of mine die during the event it'll probably be her.

Jolyne will be around for stuff probably. I'm going to focus on her less this event, so I can definitely throw her at people if they want to do something specific, but I'm not planning on putting anything up for her.

Ryoko doesn't remember the last zombie event and when all's said and done, she won't remember this one either. She'll be around if anybody wants to plot out something specific, but she'll probably mostly have a bunch of questions about this after the event's over.

Sayaka

[idolings]

Sayaka will be mainly running away and hiding throughout this event. While she won't be of much help in the fighting department, she'll do her best to help anyone that needs to escape from a zombie horde and maybe try to gather a group to fight against zombies together? She's also going to be on the lookout for any of her friends to make sure they are safe! If she does get a weapon, it's going to be a knife (and maybe a sword, but she's not good too good with them). I don't think I'll have her die during this event, but I may change my mind!

Kiyotaka Ishimaru

[moraloutrage]

Kiyotaka will be pretty out of his element here. And I don't have much specific lined up for him yet. He'll mostly be on the run and trying to secure hiding places. He has a kendo stick, but that won't be very useful against zombies, so he may take up some sort of blunt weapon. And he may try to organize people were he can? I don't think that I'll have him bitten/infected/killed. So, people to hide out with him and/or protect him from zombie attacks will be good!

[burntvideocassette]

Jay's top priority is to keep himself and Tim safe, but given that he's a scrawny internet-dweller whose only experience with zombies is through video games and books and whose only weapon in canon is a truly pathetic folding knife, he's not exactly prepared for the horde. He knows that Georgia and Shaun come from a zombie universe, so he'll be looking to them for advice.

He stockpiled several days' worth of food in his room when he heard the initial announcement (in the hopes that he'd be able to lock the door and hide in there until whatever happens finishes happening), so he might be good as far as food's concerned. As long as trail mix and beef jerky counts as food. And as long as the mansion lets him keep it. And as long as the other people involved in the event let him keep it.

Jay's also got some significant past trauma related to guns (which he is trying his very best to not acknowledge ever) so this event will probably be rough for him. If he has the option, he'll stick to melee weapons and improvised weirdness and stay as far away from gunshot noises as possible.

Mettaton

[mettatonvevo]

Due to Walkers being Walkers, Mettaton will effectively be completely safe this entire event! Being made of metal and not being able to contract the zombie virus means that my boy is free to do some Shenanigans. He's not the hero type by any means, but if he has positive CR with you and/or can be enticed to care about you, he'll certainly try to get you out of trouble. He's a little gun-shy (heh) so he'll mostly be relying on melee attacks rather than any gunfire due to Reasons.

He'll probably spend most of the event cruising around and keeping his loved ones safe and probably causing some havoc of his own since Wonderland can't fucking get him this time!!!!

Plotting comment! Do not reply!

[mettatonvevo]

Plans:

- Wild car hijinks with Asriel and Frisk and Zach???

Maya, Fitz, Jason

[finewithhalf]

So if you want to hang out with Maya, she might be safe at the start of the event. Cisco made her a gun that basically works like this thing from the DCTV universe and weaponizes sound. It COULD be a useful distraction, except Maya isn't going to live long enough to get creative with it. At the start of the zombie invasion, she and Riley will be getting infected, quietly head off to take a nap and sleep it off, and wake up undead, thus leaving them spared from the worst of the trauma. That doesn't mean you have to be spared from it, though -- feel free to hit me up if you need a zombie in your thread and don't want to use an NPC.

Jason is going to go full Red Ranger as long as he can sustain it. He's definitely down for saving everyone for the bulk of the event. He'll also be doing his best to leave supplies for people who need them, so he'll probably be kind of wrecked by the end of the third day. But he has leader angst and y'all are his people now, so if he finds a snickers bar anywhere he's going to shove it in one of your mouths because that's what you're supposed to do. NO ONE DIES.

I don't have much of an idea for Fitz yet, so he might be taking a backseat unless someone wants to do things with him? He's technically capable of MacGyvering anything out of next-to-nothing because he's a TV scientist and that's what they do, but he's also Not Okay about zombies due to previous events. So he's around if you want him to be, but he could just as easily keep to himself and run on autopilot, tensely reaching for a gun whenever anyone comes within a hundred yards of him and his girlfriend. Open for all the things, essentially.

Wynonna and Rebekah

[middlefinger]

Wynonna is going to be out and about, big heroing it up and shooting up zombies with her Bluntline, Peacemaker, as she sees fit. Until she runs out of ammo at some point because she's new enough that she wouldn't think to stockpile. So she will need to hit someone up for ammo -- or possibly just grab a bat or axe from one of the closets and start finding alternative ways of taking shit out. She can be creative. Might even be fun. Anyway, she's ready for a fight and is available to save people out of tight spots, or even to be saved from one when she runs out of ammo or something. I think it'll be fun. Also if you need a mercy killing, she'll do it. It wouldn't be the first time. I'll probably mostly tag around with her so let me know if you want her

Rebekah is going to be fucked, so to speak. She's used to being a nearly unkillable 1,000 year old vampire and she's going to be weak and vulnerable, I'd really like to play with this as I think it could be an interesting angle to explore for her. For all her talk about just wanting to be human and normal it comes with vulnerabilities and weaknesses. I don't want to go as far as having her get bit but maybe some other sort of injury. I'm open to ideas. Other than that she'll be obsessively keeping tabs on her siblings, like you do. I'll be doing an open thread for her most likely so I look forward to seeing where it goes.

[evogirl]

Want to have Wynonna end up saving Claire?

Lapis Lazuli

[ssmisery]

Lapis isn't organic, doesn't need food, and can't be infected, which cuts out much of the difficulty of this event. Still, as she learned a couple months back, that doesn't mean zombies won't rip you apart if you get their attention!

Relatedly, she also has a slightly singleminded determination to not let Wonderland hurt herself or Peridot again, and with one thing and another, this event will be sending that drive into high gear. They are going to hole up in their cute suburban house, it will be an impregnable fortress, and nobody is to so much as look at the door. it's probably good for everyone that she doesn't know how to use a gun Because she's keeping to herself I don't expect to be doing much with her, but now you know!

Elizabeth, Nora, and Makoto

[geiger]

This is Makoto's first event and she's being thrown in at the deep end. She's going to want to check in with the rest of the Phantom Thieves to make sure everyone is safe and try to plan out some kind of strategy. With her powers nerfed she can't do much in terms of damage with her Persona abilities, but she'll manage as best she can (possibly with very short rides on Johanna to get people out of immediate danger?), and will pull a pair of tekko from the closet for close range combat. She would also want to help organise things in terms of food distribution, triage, etc.

Nora is going to be really disoriented on waking up in a nice little suburban house, and think that Wonderland is playing a sick joke on her. The zombies will actually be a relief in a way, at least in terms of her realising this isn't a version of Sanctuary Hills, and also in that they're a concrete physical threat that she knows how to beat. She always keeps her gun close and that will come into the event with her, though with very limited ammo and she'll save it for emergencies. I'm planning for her to get her first mansion death this event and would love to plot this out - whether it's being trapped in the middle of the horde, or being bitten trying to save someone, etc.

Elizabeth will be on the back burner for this event, but she's well kitted out with the stockpile of emergency supplies that Ford gave her at Christmas. She'll mostly be providing background support, staying away from the thick of the fighting and helping fortify the town against the invasion.

[moraloutrage]

If you want Makoto to pull off a daring rescue at some point...

Greg and Taako

[drummeintheface]

Greg is going to be with Wirt at first, but Wirt's going to get bitten in front of him. Greg will proceed to lose his shit because he's never really actually thought this was dangerous but holy shit holy shit Wirt is bleeding what the fuck. Wirt's gonna then find somebody to babysit Greg for the rest of the event, so let us know if you want to volunteer to care for a panicked baby for a bit. :)

Taako is going to be pissed that he's not able to do anywhere near his normal amount of magical damage. He's got some ability to fight the zombies off, but it's nowhere near what it was, and he doesn't even get the stupid barbarian orc shit he got in the last event! So yeah, he'll be fighting when he has to, but he's not above hiding. Aaaand if he happens to stumble upon someone in legit trouble he'll help if it doesn't mean putting himself in danger because he doesn't like any of you fucks enough yet for that. B|

[geiger]

Nora will definitely sign up for 'watch Greg' duty!

Sam, Ellie, and Robyn

[backpacking]

Sam is going to get bitten. This is his 4th mansion death and it will not be a fun time. The general idea is that he and Dean will deal with it one way or another, but he'll be fighting and trying to save people the whole time, so if you need someone to get your character out of harm's way, Sam is your guy!

Ellie is pissed that there are so many zombie appearances in Wonderland so far?? But she can rely on Tess' old stockpile for weapons and, with her life of living in a zombie world, will be fairly well-off. She isn't immune to these zombies, though, and will be in danger trying to protect her friends... which Joel, who she'll be stuck to like glue, won't be happy about. She'll survive the event, but will be broken up about all the people who are lost.

Robyn is going on the back burner for this one; she died in the last zombie event and I'm not trying to give her a complex. Assume that the Warden is being heroic somewhere and doing all she can to help people!

not-so-supergirl

[crisised]

kara is going to go and fight zombies with all of her amazon and bat-trained skills!!! and it'll be great until she gets bit because power nerfing :D

i'm gonna be busy for part of this event so i'll probably have to keep my involvement lower than it might be normally? but i'd really like to do at least one (probably more!!) fighting zombies thread and then have someone either mercy kill her before she turns or be around when she turns and shoot zombie!kara in the head. anyone game?

[shivving]

Joel has mercy killed zombie victims before and will do it again. :|

Chloe Decker

[thevulnerability]

Chloe is mostly going to be hiding out with Lucifer, Seth, and Richie for the first part of an event. She already has a gun and (limited) ammo, so if your character is in need of a helpful cop with a few bullets for a thread hit me up!

She will also be dying during this event, so if anyone wants to play anything out pre-death (or post-death once the event is over) also lmk!

John Blake | The Dark Knight Rises

[oversight]

John Blake is historically notoriously bad at dealing with zombies because of his aversion to firearms. He has no clue how he reacted the last time he was in Wonderland, but this time around he's going to take his cues from those around him.

If anyone wants to do a little zombie boot camp, hit me up. Otherwise, he'll be out there trying to serve and protect!

Mikan Tsumiki

[naughty_nurse]

Mikan is internally screaming OH GOD NO NOT THIS AGAIN because she's gone through a zombie event before. and turned into a zombie. and got killed as a zombie. fun times.

So for day 1/2, she's going to be shutting herself in a room while having a hysterical breakdown. After all, she's the SHSL Nurse who can't cure the worst disease. But on day 3 she'll remember her duty/her loved ones and dare to venture out to see if anyone needs help. She knows how to amputate! Open for anything!

[moraloutrage]

MIKAN NO HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU DIED??

But yeah I haven't planned any injuries for Ishimaru yet but maybe they could do some kind of team-up at some point!
