Zombiepocalypse
The moon was rising over the city of New Orleans, however, it wasn't the only thing rising in the city tonight. Corpses were rising from their resting places and starting to move through the city. Decaying flesh hung from rotting bones as they shambled through the streets. At first the tourists thought it was a joke or some sort of production, but when the zombies started grabbing tourists and started biting they knew otherwise.

Elsewhere restless spirits moved around and in their anger and anguish stirring up objects and moving them around. Some discarded trashed hit tourists and sent them running. The spirits were encouraged by this and became more and more violent.

The source of this unrest moved through the streets behind Baron Samedi in the form of a cult. He controlled the zombies and the spirits and they had summoned him. The leader of the cult was quite pleased at the chaos that was now present in the streets of New Orleans.

	Nick had been sleeping off another bender, but sat bolt upright. His head and hands caught fire, seeming to eat away the flesh before he was even entirely awake. The other Champions may well be first alerted to something being "off" when the howl of the engine roars to life of its own accord, as its master changes. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Nick's motorcycle was starting, and Nick wasn't up yet. "...Oh, hercules, this isn't good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina had been awake and was reading a trashy romance novel (not that she would /ever/ admit it) and heard Nick's motorcycle revving up. This couldn't be good. She grabbed knives and went running downstairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heavily asleep, Argo heard the sounds of the motorcyle, stirred slightly, and rolled over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey snuck down to Argo's room and knocked. "Argo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Argo rolled over, he bumped Harmony. Typically that wouldn't wake her, but she heard the knock. "It's open, Corey." Harmony sat up and nudged Argo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At the nudge, at least, Argo stirred at last, pushing himself into a sitting position. "Eh?" he asked, still gathering his wits. "Aye, yes, come in, Corey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2011-05-17 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Corey comes in. "Hey. I think we've got a situation. Nick's changed. There's noise in the distance... " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harmony got out of bed and grabbed her robe. "Is anyone else awake?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	vicious_cycle 2011-05-17 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Nick... isn't entirely himself anymore. The others can hear the grinding of the garage opening, and the demon cycle revving as Nicholas heads into the streets. Time to hunt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina reached the front door and threw it open, knives already in hands. She blinked a few times. Zombies. In New Orleans. Somehow this was so fitting. She decided to avoid the direct confrontation to start. She opened a portal beneath a small group of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo swung his legs over the side of the bed, his tunic and skirt slung over a chair. "It must be grave trouble indeed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty sure Irina's out on the front steps. About to head out myself, but I wanted to get you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta woke up at the sound of the motorcycle. She heard screaming from outside and opened her window. Zombies. Terrific. Lyta got dressed quickly before flying out the window. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The penance stare may not work on these things, but it doesn't have to, hellfire does the job just fine. The Rider sets zombies alight as he goes, or drags them down with a wickedly spiked chain in a grisly spectacle.

Really, these things barely register, he's just trying to get them out of his way. The real evil is something beyond, the person or people calling them.

	The ones on fire kept walking until the flames destroyed enough of them to stop them where they stood. A few fell through Irina's portal, but the rest kept walking and attacking those who got too close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina had enough time to open another portal before some would reach her. She opened it under their feet and held it open as long as she could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Rider plunges forward, his chain sweeping the way. Those on fire reach him, drag at him and the bike, slowing his progress even as they burn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-06-02 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Irina looked around and didn't see any more zombies or cultists. "Well that was weird." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	After the spells, it was easier just to let the Rider rest, and letting the demon recover - leaving just Nick, with a very severe headache. "Yeah, they just came out of nowhere. It was bizarre. Usually I should have sensed that coming much sooner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo frowned. "I like this not. Too many questions, not enough answers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This was weird even for us. No rhyme or reason to it. Not that there needs to be one, but it doesn't make sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There is always a reason," Argo said. "Fate is never as random as that. It is simply one we do not yet know." (Reply to this)(Parent)
