WHAT In person!!
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN day 19 tho
NOTES the doors are closed but the post is open

[ Given all the LASER SECURITY on the place, it's no surprise that many of the fine, upstanding citizens of Quiet Mounds would find their way to one Heavenly Grounds coffee shop to take shelter, feast on day old scones, and in general just not get their asses kicked by hoards of the undead. Let's join them now, as the adventure continues . . . ]

[ like a zombie apocalypse is going to stop her from getting her pastry fix

or some locked doors, or state of the art security system. when did she even come in, anyway? ]

[nihilmancy]

[There's a very tired looking girl eyeing the pastries. She's not very hungry, but it would probably be best to eat something.]

I've never seen bread like this before.

[zapphic]

Quiet little mouse, aren't you?

[wrongstory]

Kaiko? I didn't know you were here.

[cannonbeauty]

[ Looks up from a notepad of doodled weapon schematics to wave at her. She intermittently flickers between solid and not, but wears a pleasant smile all the same. ]

[nihilmancy]

[There's a girl who has been lying on her side on the couch since last night and through much of the day. However, she's a light sleeper, so she's mostly been dozing, snapping to wakefulness each time somebody passes by.

She really overdid it with her powers yesterday, so she's still exhausted, but presently she sits up, rubs her eyes, and puts her glasses on.]

It hasn't stopped yet, has it?

[zapphic]

Not yet.


But then, maybe you're still dreaming. It doesn't look much like you're ready to wake up just yet.

[rightwingman]

[knocking very politely on the counter next to the register. it's like deities don't even care about expensive lasers and locked doors anymore these days.]

Excuse me, is the shop still open...?

[zapphic]

Who can say.


[ she has no idea. ]

[SOMEONE is irritable, tapping his foot restlessly, and sucking on hard candy after hard candy

due to how he can't smoke indoors.

taps foot. tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap]

[zapphic]

[ Rrrrraises an eyebrow ]

[cantabiles]

[ shuffles from one part of Heavenly Grounds to another, quietly checking in on people when she can. if it doesn't look like someone's asleep or anything, she might even ask: ]

Um, are you okay? Can I get you anything?

[zapphic]

No, no. But how sweet of you to ask.

[nihilmancy]

[Hlasoh is really tired, and she looks it, but she's had the chance to straighten up and resume her tidy appearance somewhat. But she keeps blinking and suppressing yawns and her movements are sluggish and shaky.]

No, I'm alright.

[giving100percent]

[he's at a table, head in arms, seeming asleep...but his eyes open up when Hina pasts by]

Oh. Hello again.

[2beautiful2live]

[So a mech appears outside of the coffee house, murders all zombies within a block radius in like 24 seconds, and then Orga helps yank the tiny pilot out of the cockpit before carrying him into Heavenly Grounds.

He seems kind of tired but not otherwise in a bad mood.]

The smell out there is going to kill me before the zombies do.

[snackrat]

[visibly goes from fully functioning to mostly paralyzed as they disconnect him from the gundam, flopped casually over Orga's shoulder.]

Can't really smell it in Barbatos.

[zapphic]

[ WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT AND WHY IS IT AWESOME ]

Doesn't look like the zombies are going to get much of a chance at that rate.

[eforeveryone]

[Link runs up to them when they start heading back, anxious but at least they're back.]

[eforeveryone]

[spending most his time with tekkadan but he takes a break to get all showered and dressed. He has his arm in a sling and stitches, and has clearly been BITTEN!!!!

But also, shows no signs of turning into a zombie so ymmv. He seems most concerned with toweling his hair off.]

[appliedscience]

[SEEING THAT WOUND.]

Are you serious right now? You got bit?

[zapphic]

So one of them did manage to find a meal.

[proficient_in_photoshop]

[there is a GIANT, OBVIOUS CHECK IN CHART plastered on the doors everyone's using to sneak in and out of all zombie-cleaned strongholds, with instructions to WRITE A NOTE NEXT TO YOUR NAME if you leave and where you are going.

Flashlights, water bottles, phone chargers, towels, soap, and gold star stickers with "I HANDLED IT" in comic sans are provided inside doors and in the elevator.

THE WEB ADDRESS FOR QUIET MOUNDS FORUMS is also listed if you are a modern day being, and tells everyone to just stay active, checked in, and keep their phones' volume on.

There is also a notice: ZOMBIES NO SWEAT? INVESTIGATE THE MYSTERIOUS DUMP PAST THE LAKE. THEY'RE COMING FROM THERE.]

[possibly you'll see an orange-haired man accompanied by a large or small psychic or a bald dude, setting up and replenishing the recovery stations. Possibly hanging up supply stations outside in hanging buckets.]

[appliedscience]

[Looking at all of this organization.]

Remind me why you work for the other guy?

[giving100percent]

[has a gold star sticker on his shirt and tagging along with Reigen, a little tired but trucking along]
