week one
[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.]

Benefits
. Almost immortality- As long as some of ya brain is intact, you'll be able ta keep going even after looking like ya got hit by a tow truck.
. Easy limb and organ replacement- As long as it's attached correctly, you can replace organs and limbs super easily.
. No Pain- You really don't feel physical pain anymore.
Drawbacks
. No healing- Ya need ta manually fix and sew up any wounds ya get, as ya no longer heal. If an part is damaged beyond repair, then ya gotta replace it. Though ta be honest, if it's damaged beyond repair, then an normal human would probs already have been dead. As long as ya take good care of yourself, then ya won't end up looking all torn up like me! Life goals right there!
.Preservative Blood- The thing that separates modern zombies from early ones, is that us modern ones get preservative fluids made to function like blood for us. It's toxic to humans, but this is what keeps us from starting to rot. Ya need to go get them replaced every three weeks, or you'll start to rot. I doubt this'll be an problem here, as slowly rotting away would probably be boring for Shark-Chan and CO. to watch, so they'll probably provide replacements.
.Rigor Mortis- Due to your body being clinically dead and stuff, if ya stay still for an uber long period of time, your body will start to under go rigor mortis. This makes sleeping at night an pain, as you'll be paralyzed by the time you wake up. You'll be perfectly fine after a massage though. You can avoid this problem If you make sure to always do stretches before bed.

If it is not too much trouble, could I bother you to spare a moment to speak about this in person? And if you have any tasks that need to be done, please let me take care of it in exchange for your time. Thank you.

[...Look, he can't just not reply, that's rude?? Even if it's kind of pointless when he comes into the library almost immediately after he leaves that note behind. It doesn't take that long for him to find her amongst the books, and he'll take a glance around them before calling out to her.]
Ms. Zombina? I'm Slaine Troyard. We were talking through the notes, about the... zombification.
[...it feels even weirder when he's saying it out loud...]
no subject
Nice ta meetcha' Troyard-kun! So, I'm assuming ya want ta ask more questions or something?
no subject
[There's a bit of a pause here.]
If this is too personal, I apologize, but... were you the same person as you are now before you were turned into a zombie?
no subject
[Zombina waves off the apology.]
I'm pretty much the same person. Any changes in personality are just due ta the new abilities. It's easy ta be more reckless when ya can't feel pain.
no subject
And after it's done, there is no going back, correct?
no subject
[Discounting magic bullshit, time fuckery, and who knows what's out there in the universe.]

So he closes his eyes and takes a breath. When he opens them up again, there's a determined spark there.]
...Ms. Zombina. I would like to take you up on your offer.
no subject
[Zombina opens her mouth, reaches her hand up to grab an fang near the back of her mouth aaaaand- YOINK! +1 Zombie tooth has been gained. Just hive her a sec ta wipe it off on the rocket manual aaaand da da da daaaa! You have received one sorta dry pointy zombie fang!]
Remember. If you're near death then just make sure ta give yerself a prick with it. As long as the virus gets into the bloodstream, it'll take effect.
no subject
Understood, and thank you very much. If there's anything I can do for you in exchange, I would be glad to.
1/2
[Saving an life is a fair trade for a tooth.]
2/2
[ZOMBINA!]
no subject
Of course. I suspect I need to practice some before I'm capable of making something adequate, but it'll be done.
[He glances over to the manual (which i guess has zombie saliva over it rip) she had open previously.]
Did you need some assistance with that as well? I am far from an expert on space travel, but I have had some experience with it.
no subject
[Zombina hastily wipes the zombie saliva off the poor manual and gets up to pull an chair over for Slaine.]
I barely understood some of the things being talked about in this manual, so it'd be a major help if ya could assist me with this!
no subject
[Once he settles himself there he'll just flip through the pages a little. Some of it still looks unfamiliar to him, but he's had some experience reading technical manuals even if... they were mostly for transport planes and whatnot.]
Were you thinking that we could improvise something using the materials we had on board?
no subject
[Zombina shrugs.]
Honestly I'm looking for anything relevant ta our situation or that could help. But that's a way better idea than any I've been able ta come up with!
[She's just gonna jot that idea down, tyvm.]
no subject
[Also hiding something like that... would be pretty hard even if they could somehow do something with what they had.]
We may have a better chance at trying to find a transport ship on board. It's unlikely that they will allow us to do so easily, but it would be safer and while I cannot make any guarantees, I may be able to pilot it.
no subject
[Preferably people other than her though.]
Eh, really?! Where'd ya learn ta do that?!
[YOU SEEM A LITTLE YOUNG TO PILOT.!]
no subject
[It's such an optimistic point of view, but... it's pretty nice to see, honestly. But uhhh how much does he want to talk about this piloting thing hrm. Then again, most people here don't even seem to recognize Vers as a nation, so...]
I received some basic training as a servant of the Orbital Knights. It was so that I may assist with Kataphrakt retrieval and drop-off.
no subject
[Zombina says both of those things with clear confusion in her voice. She still mentally files away the part about being a servant though.]
Can ya do me a favor and elaborate on what both of those are?
no subject
Um, the Orbital Knights are the elite of the Vers military. Each of them owns and pilots a Kataphrakt, which are humanoid, manned weapons with various specialized capabilities. However, many of them are not flight-capable and thus require some manner of transport to take them to the battlefield; that is where my role lies.
[so yeah... giant mecha delivery boy here.]
