second shot ☢ VOICE - VIDEO (open to seelie & unseelie)

[It's take a lot of building himself up to making this broadcast. First, he starts with voice. ]

Err - listen, Jem, if you're listening in, close your locket over.

[It's an odd thing to say, but when Kieren switches to video, it should become apparent why. He's bare faced, eyes white with star burst pupils. The more they get used to the light, the more they'll start to look like pin-pricks as the video goes on. There's dark, purple-blue circles under his eyes and a yellowish tint around them. His mouth is blue and slightly black at the sides. He swallows out of habit, the feeling of a phantom lump lingering in his throat.

He looks like death, quite literally. There's a reason he's been mostly using the audio option to communicate. ]


I guess I just wanted to offer full disclosure here. To both courts, really.

[He chews his lower lip. ] So, some of you know my sister already? I don't know how much she's told you about home, if she has at all. But she might have mentioned something called 'The Rising'. You can probably tell where this is going.

[He has no idea how Simon can be so confident about what he is, at home. He wishes he were here now, for support. ]

If she hasn't, well - the dead rose from their graves and started eating brains for a while. It was - well. It wasn't really ideal. I was one of them.

[Well - it feels sort of good to have that off his chest. ] I'm better now, obviously. No brain eating or anything like that. No eating much of anything, really. I just wanted to be honest, I suppose. Better that than keeping it a dirty secret.

[He sucks in a breath. ] So yeah. That's that, then.

[Nico really isn't surprised. The guy looked like death when he first met him, and, honestly, Nico never looks anything better than ghostly. So. Good company, right?]

Uh...question. And you seriously don't have to answer it if you don't want to.

[How does he question about something that might be uncomfortable?]

How do you become a zombie in your world?

[Like. A lot of the movies are total sacred cow dung when it comes to it and his zombie thing seems way different than Kieran's. Especially since. Kieran has intelligence and maybe a soul...?]

[ oh.

um. ]


... Just brains?

[ because, okay — skipping the whole, previously dead, then... un...deaded? thing? why, there are totally better places on... mammals to eat. hypothetically speaking.

and also this sounds like a face stealer thing, but... not. ]

[Eyes = caught. Eyes - blinked a tad wide. Not shocked, not staring, but piqued? Aye.

Living dead bound to their bodies. That too's proven to have happened on other planes, has it. But - he shakes his head a moment to dislodge that something's off, not lining up properly, before he speaks up, bit soft and a bit ambivalently low.]


My -- apologies, but you don't look as if... you're - "better". ...Exactly...

[He wouldn't dream of saying that out of anything but uneasy interest, he's got a chill reflecting on what feel comes with that look at all.]

[She vaguely picks out the voice, and on her end of the line, she raises a brow. She's asking cadenced and clearly, very, but unconcerned.]

Was this "Rising" result of - shall we say a virus's spread, or other infection?

Or - was it paranormal in nature.

[The Brucolac clicks on video while Kieren is still on voice, so you get to see his delighted double take when Kieren's face becomes visible—a full-body change of posture, from leaning back with hands behind his head, to sitting up straight with an expression of pleased interest.]

You recovered.

Congratulations. I hadn't thought zombies could be restored to sentience.

[And he twitches an ambiguous uneven something-like-a small crooked tic of a smile, good that that wasn't a case of misspeaking, at least...]

Odd -- though... I thought that those of us who've died in the past were, ah - restored - here.

Unless, uh -- for those whose souls are still in touch with their bodies it wasn't a need. [Those whose souls are still physically in touch and are consciously in tact, for that matter.]

[Tone settled into a buoyancy.] Well, I would assume study was performed. Was not even a clue found of what it was?

[personal profile] scramasax 2014-08-08 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fortunate. [It's a bit unfocused and trailing, enough to sound like "'ss fortunate".

Unless it isn't, he doesn't know it isn't. Tiny flinch with a throat clear and a twinge in his brow.]
- I think. I, err -

[In truth he's got a couple private comments and would-be questions floating through his head that assume adherence to certain rules. The entire fact of being here with the sorts of people who are here prove it pointless to jump to conclusions and chase after. Inflection turns up uncertainly to a dragged-out heightening and roughening at the edges - ]

I mean -- would you prefer it this way?

So I'm gathering. Where I'm from—world-wise, at least—they just run your lot through the factories and that's the end.

[His tongue rolls out from his mouth and ripples as he hisses. Contemplatively. Ssss.]

How are you medicating yourself here? Do you have adequate supplies?
prinsects: (Stately pose)

[personal profile] prinsects 2014-08-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Where I came from, we simply called them zombies. [And they knew clinically well what made them. Voice slipped down into dry cruisin'.]

So they either found something to name or they felt they'd rather find a name for something they did not understand.

I'm glad to hear you're better.

[ yikes. but wait- ]

Does that mean you were dead? At home, before you rose up again? Or did something make you change to be like them, like a sickness?

[ it's no the Flare, she knows it isn't, but still. maybe she's curious to know if other people died before coming here, too. ]

Good. These sudden transports are hardly convenient for those of us with needs not satisfied by fairy feasts.

I'm talking about zombie factories. The quick go in, zombies comes out. There are places where they're used as slaves. I sincerely hope you never have occasion to learn more.
