Hola, fellow captives of the USS Gigantitude. How's everybody feelin' tonight?

[Wichita, clearly, is feeling a little drunk. Except for the part where she's not actually that drunk at all, but there are some benefits to acting like she is. Mostly having to do with being underestimated, that sometimes people took pity on the girl that's just so distraught by her plight that she felt the need to run to the bottle. And people were less likely to take her too seriously, even when asking questions she actually wants answers to. Easier to appear a little vulnerable, too. Whatever.

Not the most creative way to introduce herself on this cellphone network thing, and getting drunk is likely not the smartest course of action when she has no freaking clue where she is or where her sister is or how she got here, but, what the hell. A drink is a drink, and she couldn't get her hands on anything better, so.]

I know it's called the Tranquility or whatever, but I like Gigantitude better. It's more fun to say. Also because it's giant. Anyway!

I'm looking for my sister. She's about yay tall and has long hair and she's really cute and I'm kind of lost without her? Soo. If anyone wants to help me find her I'd be forever grateful and all that.

By the way, I'm Wichita. Her name's Little Rock. Or she might be going by the name Hannah Montana. Could go either way. --she's twelve, don't you judge.

Also hey, listen, is anybody else from a time when Earth is completely shot to hell because of a virus? Call it Zombieland because it's all full of zombies? Not undead! Just sick. But everything kinda sucks because of it? I'm getting way over being the only jerk that's had to deal with zombies. CauseImean. How's that even fair? Lemme know, please. This is important mostly just for the sake of my own sanity which, ahaha, I'm already questioning since I'm here on a spaceship.

[She makes a face at the camera, takes another sip of booze, then cuts off the feed.]

[ Witchita, meet Mouse. Mouse is a scrawny little teenage boy with white blonde hair and a litte metal in his face, his pale face peering out from underneath the hood of his quite proudly worn parka. And right now he is peering into his device with very large eyes and a round 'oh'-shaped mouth.

When he speaks, it's more a squeak than anything else. ]

Zombies? [ He leans in much much closer. ] Cooooooooool.

I guess. [Have the heaviest of headtilts and browquirks, little sir.]

They're actually pretty nasty. And depressing.

[... gigantitude.]

i haven't seen any little rocks or hannah montanas aboard
(and she hasn't come by the medbay)

is she one of the kids using the colored text?



ps: no zombies at home
sorry D:

[cons]

bummer.

moreso about the lack of little sister than the zombies. not like i want everyone to have zombies in their lives. but. it's weird being the only one? yeah.

i guess it's good news she hasn't checked into the medbay, if she'd here at all.

[zoosmell]

wow, twelve?
that is very young.
but since i am an infintisemiultiude older than her, if i see her, i will tell her that you are looking for her!
also, i have never fought a zombie before...
back home, we just call it earth.
or some of us call it the ol' eartharoni.
but that is mostly me.

[cons]

thanks. :)
zombies aren't really a thing you fight, cause if they get to close and get their slobber on you, you get sick and then you die.
so it's more like shoot and run until they're dead.

[zoosmell]

oh, wow, that sounds really annoying.
that doesn't sound crazy or anything, though!
but you must be glad that you are away from all that slobber.
i think i can understand a bit, dave's slobber is really bad too...

I haven't seen anyone going by that name, miss. Sorry.

[oh, her heart. not that Wichita would ever admit this, but it definitely isn't just Little Rock she has a soft spot for, at this point. kids in general seem to make her feel this overwhelming need to be there for them, it's all very dramatic.]

It's alright. I'm sure she'll show up eventually, we're never split up for too long.

[ wichita. you don't know it yet, but dundee is strangely endeared with you if only because you seem to really care about your sister. he isn't from a world with zombies though. unfortunately. when he speaks, he is sitting and relaxing and his tone reflects it, with his accent coming out in full force.

he does have to wonder about the names though. because she's not wichita, and little rock definitely wouldn't be little rock. ]

I unfortunately haven't seen your sister nor do I come from an Earth like that. It does sound like an adventure to be there, though. And I hardly mean that as a good thing.

[ a beat. ] That's an interesting name, Wichita. You don't see it around that often.

[cons]

It's just a nick. [Man, cause she does not want anyone to think her parents were just crazy or whatever.]

I mean, I'm from there. Kansas. And we don't really do name-names in Zombieland cause it would suck, knowing somebody by name and then having to kill them if they get sick.

Is the alcohol really necessary?
I haven't seen her, and I'm rather talented at detecting people. Though I might add that my gift is not infallible.

[text]

[cons]

yes.
i'd appreciated it if you kept an eye out for her. this ship is way too big.

No I Am Not But I Think I Know Of Something Similar To What You Mentioned
We Did Not Call Them Zombies But There Were Copious Legions Of The Undead Which Roamed During The Day Looking For Prey
Does That Count

[cons]

... that's pretty much exactly what a zombie is, yes.
what were they, if not zombies?

[constructum]

[ and here, ariadne thought she had an odd name. huh. ]

I don't think I've heard that name in passing yet - I'll keep a look out though. [ have a slightly apologetic look with that, Wichita. She is sorry she can’t help you there.

And yes, Ariadne isn't done here, as she is just going to be sitting and staring at the device a moment, her brow furrowing as she attempts digest what the woman is saying. ] Have you been drinking?

[ because this would only make sense. zombies, really? ]

video;

[cons]

Um! Yes. But not a lot.

But my questions here are all-- They're not drunk questions. If that's what you mean.

Just. Cause. Do you know how weird it is coming from a world that has maybe six people left in it that aren't craving man-meat, to a ship full of ...not sick people? It's weird.

[bottlearum]

What kinda zombies are we talkin' about, luv?

[Because if it's pirate skeletons, he's totally been through that. totally. But hey, more importantly:]

Where'd ye get the alochol?

[cons]

Ummm. Mad Cow Disease, a human caught it, and that... got really gross, really fast. And wiped out basically everyone. Are there different kinds? Besides the undead-back-from-the-grave kinds.

And that! Is a secret that I had to pay good money to know. And favors! Called in like eight favors. [There's a bottle or two in each kitchen, she found it while snooping.]

[sweetmotherofgod]

Gigantitude? I like it.

[Heather's grinning, but it twists into something that's trying really hard not to be an I'm-so-sorry face, beacuse she knows when you lose someone you love nothing sucks worse than some jerk acting like they know just how you feel]

I haven't spotted any cute little twelve year olds around, sorry. But I'll look out for her, okay? I even promise not to tell her you told the whole ship she's cute and might be calling herself Hannah Montana.

Zombies? I... I definitely have experience with everything sucking because of creepy monster dudes, but... unless you have some deep psychological reason to be afraid of zombies, it's probably not the same deal.

video;

[cons]

Thanks, me too.

[It's okay, Wichita's all grins even if she doesn't have a reason to be smiling at all, at the moment. Whatever, man.]

And she won't care about the nickname thing, it's kind of a... thing, yeah. We don't really do real names in Z-Land? -- I just said this. Nnh, not to you though, so. Yeah, no names in Zombieland. Cities, hence why I'm Wichita.


[She laughs] Hence.

[puppydogeyes]

Don't say 'USS' too loud. There's a guy round here thinks he is actually America.

[And he already acts like he owns the ship - they don't need to talk like he's really got a stamp on it.]

What, like-- How can.


What?

text // clearly this post needs even more homestuck
