1st loan - Voice/Video

[VOICE]

[Interference sounds first] [Then you hear Inukashi's voice, sort of breathless]

Hey! WHORE guy, are you still alive?! [He almost screams at the voice recorder] Just in case you were planning on doing that job on that other dude, he called me to canceling it. And also, my job doesn't include protecting your sorry ass against these walking corp-

Ughhhhhhhh [Now you are hearing a zombie] [More interference and it's placed on video]

[VIDEO]

[Now you can see that Inukashi was taking cover on a narrow alley behind some wooden boxes]

Why don't these things die!!!!! [Inukashi screams at the zombie, picking a wooden box and shoving it on the zombies face] [The time which he gains on this stun he picks up the video and runs on the opposite direction]

And you still haven't paid me for the other day!! [And with this the video is cut off]

[action]

[speaksdaggers]

[Y'know, it should be worrying when he realises he can hear and recognise Inukashi's voice yelling from a few streets away. Not taking a chance to pause, he swings his own makeshift weapon around - a pipe grabbed off the street on a whim - clubbing it into the side of one of the hideous, shuffling creatures heads, before running the direction of Inukashi's squawking.]

Oi!

[He snags the younger figure by the back of their shirt, placing himself in front of Inukashi and glancing back at him out of the corner of his eye.]

You seen Shion anywhere?

[Priorities, priorities.]

Re: [action]

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi actually pulls his arm and raises his "weapon", getting ready to hit what had touched him before recognizing Nezumi.]

Do you have a death wish, you sneaky rat?! I was gonna- [And then he blinks]

I thought he was with you.

[forever action]

[speaksdaggers]

[Nezumi doesn't respond to the suggestion of a death wish - like Inukashi could ever kill him. Instead he focuses on the second part, raising an eyebrow pointedly, pointing to either side of him and then turning his gaze incredibly flat.]

Obviously not. I've been working, I don't have time to play babysitter.

Re: [forever action]

[raisedbydogs]

[He totally could!! in his mind]

You should have a better hand on him. Didn't you use to leave him at your place before? [Why does it seem like he is talking about a dog and not a person?]

[speaksdaggers]

I didn't realise there was a certificate with my name on proclaiming I was his owner.

[He folds his arms, pipe still dangling from one hand, and glares at Inukashi.]

He did what he wanted - which includes going to your flea ridden hotel to play bath time with your mongrels. Note this puts you in an equal position of ownership if we're going to continue down that route of blame.

[raisedbydogs]

You were the one that took him out of no.6. [His teeth grind at the way that Nezumi talks about his dogs. A zombie appears and Inukashi takes the chance to swing his weapon at it, hitting right in the face and giving it the last hit while the monster was down]

I gave him a job, which isn't valid here. [Presses the wood piece in the zombie's neck until a crack from breaking bones is heard] So there is no reason for me to care about him.

[speaksdaggers]

Well then.

[Nezumi has no need, reason or urge to explain why he took Shion out of No. 6. It's none of Inukashi's business, and he doesn't deserve to know the truth behind Shion's move to West Block. He turns away from Inukashi, and shoulders the pipe.]

Enjoy your excursion in the fair streets of zombieland. I won't be stopping to offer my assistance in times of need; I have a little lost lamb to hunt down, and no one willing to offer help for the benefit of extra protection. A good thing, most likely; they were doing so well with that wooden box technique before.

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi grinds his teeth. Nezumi had hit a nerve as usual, since the dog loaner was for the first time without anyone of his family around him.]

[He maintained his bluff for the sake of maintaining it, but truth was, even if he was good at surviving, the damn zombies kept finding his hiding places, and he somehow had separated himself from his new guardian along the way.
He let's two minutes pass by, before growling at Nezumi.]



Wait up. [He turns to follow the manipulating bastard which somehow always got the best of him]

I have someone which I need to find also. And it would be easier to make way if it's the two of us. [He says this in a nonchalant manner, trying not to look like Nezumi had pulled his leg again.

[Truthfully, he also wanted to check if Shion was indeed okay, but he would never show that sort of weakness on Nezumi.]

[speaksdaggers]

Oh? Managed to snag yourself a few unwilling peons did you?

[He lets the pipe drop off his shoulder and swings it at his side idly.]

Lucky the zombies didn't scare your common sense out of your little head. You keep an eye on the back, I'll keep an eye on the front. Gimme a description of who you're looking for and I'll keep an eye out for him as well.

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi takes looks on the side, his instincts kicking in and allowing him to be alert]

You can't really miss her. She is the biggest white dog that you ever saw in your life... 2 times the size of my biggest dog. [He sniffs the air. Somehow, his ability to feel scents had become quite sharp since he had arrived... he could smell everything...
Something was coming...

... from up. Inukashi pushes Nezumi to the side, before a zombie which had thrown itself off a building smashed both of them. By throwing itself the zombie pretty much died on the impact, it's head severing and most of his bones breaking]

[Inukashi takes a second to recover from the goresome shock, before furiously kicking the dead corpse.]

What the hell is wrong with these things! [He hated these brainless bastards]

[speaksdaggers]

Seriously? You've been here how long and you've already found yourself a dog to smother---

[He curses as Inukashi throws his weight into him, sending him stumbling off balance. He manages to regain it, spinning around just in time to catch the zombie hitting the ground.

He pulls a face, before straightening up and looking away from the mangled corpse, his attention moving along as quickly as it had been peaked by the action.]

They don't have brains, that might be a starting point. You gonna stand there and poke it with sticks all day, or are you going to hurry up and get moving?

[raisedbydogs]

[He gives a final kick, looking a lot more calmer after having kicked it] [He sniffs the air again... okay, didn't seem that there was anything nearby for now]

[After a couple of steps, Inukashi relaxes enough to continue their talk]

She was the one who found me... [He looks to the side, his lips pressed against one another in a sort of embarrassed frown. Even if he really appreciated that Amaterasu had taken him in, he had... sort of been adopted and was pretty much treated like a puppy]

She also says that she isn't a dog.

[speaksdaggers]

Wise animal.

[He shakes his head, eyes flickering around the area, looking for any sudden lurch from the shadows, or unnatural movements.]

Who'd want to be loaned out to some unwashed traveller like you're so fond of doing, anyway?

[raisedbydogs]

All my dogs were happy with what they did. I never forced anyone. [He bickers, at the same time alert at any changes in the air]

[speaksdaggers]

Bet you never set up good cooperate benefits for them. Did they even get a health plan?

[raisedbydogs]

[Snorts] Yeah, the best one which you can have in the west block.

[Another Zombie, so Inukashi hits him to Nezumi's side, let him handle some dead corpse moving for a change]

[amellus]

[Nezumi doesn't get the chance, seeing as said zombie gets tackled by a blur of brown and white.

Shion had thought he'd heard them nearby from his hiding place in a near alley, and seeing the zombie moving towards Nezumi he just reacts.

Not that he has a weapon or any real way to fight the thing. Oops.]

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi blinks in surprise as he sees Shion appearing out of nowhere. And going after the zombie without any weapons.

Without really noticing himself, he throws his piece of wood to Shion.]

Aim for the head!

[speaksdaggers]

[Luckily for everyone here, someone still has his phasers set to 'Don't Get Mauled By The Undead', and before Shion even gets a chance to react to the wood being thrown at him, Nezumi has smashed the zombie's skull in with a swift crack from the pipe in his hand, followed by a hefty kick to the gut to send the shambling creature sprawling across the ground.

He doesn't say anything to Inukashi, just tilts his head to level a very dark, very dangerous glare at him. Nezumi isn't stupid, he's aware that the zombie had been meant for him to take out. He would have done too, but the sudden inclusion of Shion into the mess turned this from minor inconvenience to near-fuck-up-of-large-proportions, and Inukashi had better not try something like that again.

... As for Shion, he pulls the slighter male up by the sleeve of his jacket and gives him a half angry, half exasperated glare.]

Idiot. Look out for yourself for a change.

[amellus]

[At first Shion doesn't answer, instead holding the wood tight and holding a distant but very cold expression. If Nezumi hadn't beaten him to it, who knows what he might have done at this point.

But instead he shakes his head, looking sheepish]

I thought I heard you two... are you alright?

[He looks down at the body of the zombie and looks... shaken to say the least.]

[raisedbydogs]

[Inukashi felt that glare and the danger in it] [And so, it was time to start doing his own tracking]

[He walks towards Shion] [extending his arm to take the weapon back]

So, now that you found Shion it's time to go back to my own errand. [No way he would stay with Nezumi giving that murdering glare, he prefers the zombies any day!]

[speaksdaggers]

Nice to see your ears are still working.

[He tugs slightly on one of the aforementioned appendages, and tilts his head, before turning a little to stare at Inukashi.]

... Going hunting on your own then? Through all the zombies by yourself? Well, godspeed to you then.

[amellus]

Inukashi! You can't go alone, there's too many...

[He looks back down at the body. Advanced septic, complete loss of cognitive reasoning. The skull and spine had ruptured much too easily.

They weren't human. they weren't.]

[raisedbydogs]

Yeah, well, it's not like hiding has worked that well... [He makes a sort of unsure expression, in a way, he would prefer to have other people with him (actually, he would prefer his dogs, but that was beyond the point), on the other way, Shion was probably more a burden that a help, and he didn't trust Nezumi at all...

So in the end, he takes his wood stick out of Shion's hands and starts walking forward.]

Besides, Amaterasu is somewhere there. I want to find her.

[speaksdaggers]

Because your track record without your mutts is so good.

[Nezumi pauses, and stares at Shion for a second, before following after Inukashi.]

It'll be quicker to get back this way anyway. Or to get somewhere relatively safe.
