Practical Weaponry [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

Bond waited outside of the Danger Shop until all of his class had arrived. When they went inside, the room had taken on the appearance of a city devoid of life and eerily silent.

"I do hope you all remembered your zombie plans from our first class," Bond said from the doorway, checking his watch. "Since the zombie apocalypse and your final are both scheduled to start in about five minutes. Anyone who's still alive at the end of the class passes. That is unless you managed to cause the undeath of a classmate in the process, in which case you fail. Have fun."

With that he locked the door of the Danger Shop behind them. A faint groaning could be heard in the distance.

Having decided to skip the alleyways, Karla headed towards the buildings. After all, she had a duty to save as many civilians as she could--and certainly wasn't averse to a bit of scavenging.

She did use Craft to pass through walls and doors though. It wasn't an offensive use of her powers (yet) and it wouldn't deny people shelter if there were still civilians inside.

She scoured the the downstairs first, looking for weapons before calling a tentative "Hello? Any survivors here?" Thank the Darkness her training with Triela meant that she could load the pistol easily enough and probably not shoot herself when she used it. She kept her finger on the safety so she could slide it off as needed.

Something moved in the shadows in response.

The shuffling gait suggested it wasn't a survivor.

Sooooo. That was a zombie. Karla cautiously backed up a pace or two. It didn't appear to be anything like the demon-dead of her world. Still, she had to try. "I bring you greeting from the High Lord," she said carefully. "If you are lost and looking for a way back to Hell, I can guide you."

Which would make a pretty good threat if she hadn't been working from a completely different frame of reference. As it was, she was being quite sincere and polite.

"Though I must warn you, I won't hesitate to send you back to the Darkness if you prove to be a threat."

That was a little better.

Either the zombie didn't understand what Karla was saying, or it didn't care. It ambled into the light, sniffing the air. It gave a low groan.

It hadn't worked. Karla really hadn't thought it would, but there was always the possibility.

Of course, now that Karla thought about it, this was all magic made by Professor Bond, who knew nothing of the demon-dead, so really it hadn't been a possibility anyway. Well, Hell's fire.

Karla shifted into the stance Triela had taught her, shifted the safety off and fired. She wasn't an expert marksman, but she was patient and fairly calm. It helped that she didn't really understand what zombies did. It likely took several rounds, but she wasn't going to stop firing until the zombie dropped or she was all out of bubblegum bullets.

With a sound that was likely to put Karla off eating melons for life, the zombie's head exploded, its body swaying in place for several seconds before falling.

Okay. That had been incredibly unpleasant. And, as a Healer, Karla had dealt with some really gross things in her life, but...just wow. And eew.

The moment of revulsion passed--aided by Karla searching the house rather than hanging around in the same room as the creature. She still had a job to do, and that was find any remaining civilians.

Once this house was scoured, she moved onto the next.
