Week 1

[After the initial introduction of the Overseers, the Champions were left to their own devices in investigating the part of the ship they have access to to their hearts' content. However, the doors that Blaze Dudely and Rox came through are locked tight and cannot be unlocked via PIP.

On Wednesday morning, the same voice that awakened them the previous morning chirps at them again from their PIPs at 7 am on the dot.



Enjoy your week, Champions.]

Sort of? A little. Mostly, I just wanted to say. It's a very generous offer, I think! I hope no one has to take it, but it's very nice of you make.

[She fidgets a little, clasping her hands and looking off to the side.]

But, um. If something bad happened. I'm. Pretty sure it wouldn't work. On me, I mean. ...Because- reasons.

[Human-passing.]

And I just wanted to let you know, in case something happened. So you didn't feel bad.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Ah.

[ Not gonna lie, the 'human passing' and 'yes' for species and age were kinda super suspicious. The only thing Zombina's sure of is that Penny's not human.]

Thanks for the heads up Penny-chan. I mean, I have an few guesses as to why it wouldn't work on you, but that's you're buisness, not mine unless ya want it ta be.

[So not gonna pry anytime soon. In the meanwhile...]

Heyyyyyyyyy, you wanna watch a zombie movie with me? They got the one and only classic, Night of the Living Dead here!

[Isn't that the one where everyone dies Zombina?]

[in4apounding]

It's- not NO reason. Just. Nothing important. [hic] But thank you. ...What-

["What guesses, exactly," she wants to ask but HEY LOOK A SHINY CHANGE OF SUBJECT.]

-oh. That looks. Interesting? I'd love to!

[Penny no]

Is it a horror movie? Zombie movies are usually horror, right, but if there are more people like you on your world maybe they're not?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

[Penny yes!]

Bingo! This my dear Penny-chan, is the movie that revolutionized horror films and made the definition of zombie that most of us are familiar with today!

[Zombina waves a hand dismissively at the idea of zombie movies not usually being horrer.]

Liminal species weren't' revealed to the general public until like, a year or two ago, so before then Zombies were considered fictional, so nah, zombies are still usually horror!

[in4apounding]

[Come on Zombina, she's trying to be culturally sensitive here.]

Liminal species? That's... people like you? Not human but still people? Like Faunus? ...How did people not know you existed?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

I dunno what a Faunus is, but maybe?

[Zombina shrugs as she starts setting up the movie.]

Well, the governments knew about them for an long time and witheld any information about them, but most liminal species aka Extra-species and a lotta other things lived isolated from humans. People got tired of this and so about... yeah I think it was three years ago, both sides got tired of this and liminal species were revealed to the public with the Interspecies Exchange Bill.

[in4apounding]

People with animal traits? Like- cat ears.

[She makes a small gesture over her head, holding up her forefingers to mimic the alleged ears.]

They've always been known on Remnant, but they didn't get equal rights until the Faunus Rights Revolution. I guess that's similar?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Oh yeah, we have some of those too! A buncha liminal species like that, like, uh, Werecats, Werewolves, and Were-a-buncha-other-stuff!

[They're all way more furry Zombina.]

Similar enough I suppose. Glad ta here they got rights now though.

[aaaaand ready!]

Alright Penny-chan, are you ready ta see one of the best zombie movies ever?!

[in4apounding]

Don't werewolves usually transform? Because Faunus are just the way they are all the time.

[Yes, completely equal rights, with no issues whatsoever.]

Yes, it sounds sensational!

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Nah, people just thought they were transformed 'cause they looked humanoid or somethin', but like, all furry.

[Totes reasonable mistake!]

Aaaaall right, let's get started then in three, two, one! Action baby!

[Zombina whoops and takes a seat as the story starts. There's two young adults a little over Zombina's age on screen named Barbra and Johnny Blair. They're driving to rural Pennsylvania for an annual visit to their father's grave.]

[in4apounding]

Hm, most Faunus aren't that furry. Not more than humans, anyway.

[Dad Belladonna's kind of a wooly bear, despite being a cat person.]

[And- settling in to watch the movie intently.]

Oh, a graveyard's probably a really bad place to be here. ...Johnny's a bit rude, isn't he?

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Huh. Weird.

[Probably some like that anyway.]

Totally ta both of those questions.

[ Johnny decides to be an bit of an ass and teases his sister's fear of the cemetery after dark.]

See?

[A strange totally not a zombie pale face man stumbles toward them.]

Aaaaand so it begins.~
