OPEN | you think i'm dead but

Who: Anders ([personal profile] circlejerked) and anyone!
Where: Alexandria.
When: Backdated to July 15-16th.
Rating: PG-13 for our unwelcomed guests, the zombies.
Summary: No Starbucks, but you get a mage with a big stick. A late edition to the zombie event, but I mean, it's zombies. Gotta love zombies.
The Story:



I. Day 2

[Don't look now, but there's a man in a housecoat beating on a zombie at the front gate... sort of?

There is a man and he is in robes, but up close they decidedly fall closer to the armored battle wear variety, and the weapon in his hand is less a bludgeon in the act of mindless beating and more a long, hefty fighting staff in the middle of poking. The zombie straining against the bars seems little more than harmlessly irate, swaying back a step at each push of the staff only to push forward again to repeat the process.

What you see before you is a mage studying the undead. A little poke to see its pain response there, a little prod to see how it reacts there... The experiment continues on with magic from that point: telekinetic blasts, tongues of fire, small currents of electricity that leap from his fingers, testing the bare minimum of forced needed to make the dead permanently dead.

Something can be said for these pitiful creatures: at least they're not carrying fungal spores, or the taint, or invisible to the naked eye.]


... just ugly.

II. Day 3

[Survival is, fortunately enough, something a successful apostate can do in his sleep--mostly since there's not a lot of time or opportunity to sleep when every templar in creation is out for your hide. Joining the Wardens had only continued to teach the joys of fighting hordes of invading monsters. Occupational hazards.

What that means for whomever happened to run into this house with him to shake pursuing off pursuing zombies is that Anders had been quite content to play sentry at the window, a practiced hand at watching out for the nearest thing intending to kill him. Deprived of prey, most of the zombies had lost interest milling around and slowly waddled off back onto the street in search of bigger and better pursuits, but one stubbornly curious zombie continues to claw at the door. It's starting to draw attention, Anders notes with an exasperated grimace.

Well, shooing won't work, so...

Looking to his latest survival partner, he eases a knife from the sheath at his belt and nods at the door. Open it.

Although beaning it with his heavy staff could be fun and cathartic, a more subtle shushing might be best for this loner that won't just take a hint.]

[His rather bad joke gets a snort out of him and Mettaton grins even more. He's got a cute laugh!

Don't worry Anders, one day another event will come along that kills all tech and Mettaton will be dragging around a hunk of metal for a body for a week again and you shall be vindicated.]


A mage, born and raised!

[He says it with a certain amount of delight at the thought.]

In my world, there haven't been humans with magic in a very long time.

[Granted, as a monster, he should have more mixed emotions about the idea of humans with magic buuuuut he's a human-aboo and therefore kind of a mess.]
mettatonvevo: (hmmm)

[personal profile] mettatonvevo 2017-08-24 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[The closest Wonderland has gotten to that was the Citadel event and Mettaton, personally, still managed to run into some danger with the law and crashed a skycar into the Presidium lawn so perhaps Wonderland events are just cursed.]

Perhaps, though I don't know who this Maker it is you are talking about.

[He might mean some sort of god if the context clues are right.]

Humans in my world used to have a lot more magic but there is a prevailing theory that after their 7 most powerful mages sealed us Monsters into the Underground, the magic of the world above slowly leaked away and now magic is a distant memory for them.

[He looks around a bit and nods in agreement.]

Oh yes. This world certainly would have benefited greatly from any amount of magic at all against those beasts.
mettatonvevo: (He excite)

[personal profile] mettatonvevo 2017-08-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[The moon landing was faked and Mettaton was so unfathomably beautiful that he was cursed by a jealous witch, so now any event he is in clearly must go wrong, no matter how innocent it is. We've cracked the goddamn Da Vinci code!]

Oh! That makes sense, yes. I don't particularly believe in that myself, though I do know a number of humans do.

[His spiritual views are kind of funky and honestly he'd be a very pious person if he ever turned his worship of himself onto a greater being.

He snaps to attention at Anders's words, a small look of delight blooming on his face.]


I do! She's the one who built me. Do you know her?
mettatonvevo: Mettaton EX laughing (he laughs and i die)

[personal profile] mettatonvevo 2017-09-13 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Mettaton visibly brightens when Anders describes her.]

Yes!! She is my creator. I'm her greatest creation.

[There is a grand measure of pride in his words as he says that.]
mettatonvevo: (hmmm)

[personal profile] mettatonvevo 2017-09-19 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose so if you want to look at it like that, though really creating me was my idea.

[He winks at Anders when he says that. Is he serious? Of course not, he can't be serious... right?]

A golem! I am no golem, I assure you.

[He shudders. Alphys's little pet golem still gives him the creeps sometimes.]

I have no control rod. I am a being of free will.

[He stops.]

...You wouldn't happen to know Cullen, would you?
mettatonvevo: (D'aww sweetie)

[personal profile] mettatonvevo 2017-09-29 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It takes a special kind of person to do what I do, but I always do it splendidly so there is never any doubt.

[Mettaton laughs at Anders's wording.]

He did in fact! He wasn't as fond of my response to his question however.

[It was an amazing one, in his opinion.]

Are you two from the same world or have you just hit it off rather badly here in Wonderland?
