~Ha hah ha! Wish I was there to get a picture of you bunch of smurfs!~

*Elsewhere: After their "fun" Skeletoncrew and Eric were feeling a bit restless and reckless so they decided to go raise a little havoc. More specifically, they were going to raise the dead.*

*SC already knew the perfect cemetary for their purposes. It was within walking distance of the hotel, low security, secluded from view, and had an easy access mausoleum.*

Eric: So now what?

*Kneeling down lighting a charcoal block in a censer* As soon as this coal is glowing I start sprinkling my Raise the Dead incense on it, and with a little willpower on my part we'll soon have a small army of the dead.

Eric: You know, the only trouble with doing this at night is that there aren't very many people out right now.

*The charcoal is now glowing red so she begins sprinking incense on it.* True. But as I said before, I really don't want to get caught. This is illegal in so many ways. Immoral too depending on your belief system.

Eric: Most of the best things in life are.

*Shoots him a wicked smile and begans swinging the censer, pacing back and forth.* Okay, this will take a few minutes and I need to concentrate so keep quiet. Try not to be too grossed out.

Eric: Right.

*SC walks back and forth swinging the censer and muttering quietly. After a minute Eric can hear noises in the tombs in front of her. Soon there are sounds like struggling. The stone plates begin to shake and fall off onto the padding they had placed below the wall. As they fell off SC and Eric would step forward to pull the coffin out far enough for the occupant to emerge. Soon enough they had a couple dozen zombies standing before them.*

*Squeals with excitement and pulls out digital camera to get a few photos.* This is SO cool! I've always wanted to do something like this! I just love zombie movies!!!

*Eric looks disgusted but intrigued.* So they'll do anything you want?

Anything within their abilities. Obviously, I can't make this one talk. *Points to a nearly skeletal zombie*

Eric: Nice. Well you want to give them their instructions while I gather up any possibly incriminating evidence?

Sure! Okay zombies, here's the plan of action: I want you to terrorize the populace. Nothing really harmful, NO EATTING PEOPLE, just give them a good scare. Go into any shops or bars that are open, wander around, wreck some stuff, maybe grab a couple people, moan and groan, say "brainsss", peer in the windows of peoples homes. Scare them!

*Eric interrupts* We're ready to go!

Oh, and I want you all in groups of at least two. And when dawn comes, you will all return to your previous inanimate state never to rise again unless it is my will. So mote it be!

*SC and Eric run off towards the hotel as the zombies disperse. With his guidance they make it back to their room completely unseen. SC wonders a bit at his exceptional stealth and the B&E abilities he showed at the cemetary, but doesn't give it much thought.*

So how long do you think it will be before they get the news cameras on them?

Eric: Probably not long, why don't we take a shower and check the tv afterwards?

A little grossed out by what we just did?

Eric: Just a little.

Okay!

*They head to the shower to pass the time until the chaos really starts*

Terran · 05-14-2002, 11:42 AM

*Terran looks confused*
Um...stinky? I just took a shower.

*enigma-1* · 05-14-2002, 02:49 PM

*shakes head* Terran no stinky. Other stinky. No good. *points toward the cave they came from*

**azure turtle** · 05-14-2002, 06:39 PM

*Azure laughed again*
Man, it's a good thing I'm the only blue turtle around here. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tell you all apart

Don: Cut it out, lil' bro. Now come on, let's go check the alarms.
*Azure gave Don a mock salute*
Yes sir!
*Don sighed*
Don: Let's get going.
*Don grabbed Azure by the mask tails and dragged him into the caves*

Terran · 05-14-2002, 06:49 PM

*Terran looks worriedly behind her*

Do you know what the smell is?

*Elsewhere*

Leo *to Mike*: I still think you did this.

Mike *chuckles*: No, but I kinda wish I did. So where do we start searching, Fearless Leader?

*Skeletoncrew* · 05-14-2002, 07:04 PM

*Elsewhere about a half hour later: SC and Eric settle down on the bed to check out the local news. Sure enough, regular broadcasting has been interrupted to bring breaking news about the "apparent zombies" wandering the streets of Arkham.*

*Giggling* I wish we had popcorn. I wonder whether this will make the national news?

Eric: Quite possibly. That is, if anyone actually believes this is happening.

*On the TV* Tonight's top story is one of fear and panic in downtown Arkham. Normally a sleepy city the citizens tonight are in panicking over reports of walking corpses. We go now to our roving reporter Jenny Stone, live in front of the Black Swan pub.

Reporter *smirking*: Hi John. As you can see behind me the normally packed pub is deserted. Its patrons having run in terror when a few "zombies" supposedly entered it not 15 minutes ago. As you can see the police are here and are investigating. Officer, what do you make of this situation?

Officer: Well M'am, as you can see there are no zombies here. We figure it was just a prank on the part of some local kids, gettin' all dressed up and scarin' folks.

*Screaming off to the side. The camera swivels and focuses on 3 shambling figures. Onlookers run away. The deputy approaches, hand on gun.*

Officer: Allright there, thats enough of that. Just put your hands up and face the walls.

*The figures continue shuffling towards them, groaning.*

Reporter: Oh my God! If those are costumes, they're awfully good. Waitaminute, there's a hole going through that guy, you can see right through his stomach!

*The officer panicks and begins firing. The zombies jerk but don't fall, they continue advancing. Reporter starts screaming and the officer radios for back up. The live feed is cut. As the anchor sits in the studio dumbfounded, SC and Eric erupt into laughter.*

*Wiping tears from her eyes several minutes later.* I hope my friends at home see this!

**Kali** · 05-14-2002, 07:13 PM

*Raphael looks around, then jumps over the couch* Okay, we searched. *he flips on the TV*

Raph, be serious. We could have an intruder!

Raph: And they snuck in here just to put dye in our pool? Riiiiiight. Hey, check it.

*Kali looks at the TV and they catch the very end of the report before the view goes back to the in station reporter.

Reporter: And that's the latest from the "zombie" situation in Arkham. We will report more as it comes in.

*Kali and Raph exchange glances, then burst out laughing*

*enigma-1* · 05-14-2002, 08:13 PM

****** head, uncertain how to explain himself* Smell like sad turtle but not same. Stinky.

Terran · 05-14-2002, 09:14 PM

*wonders if someone is hurt*

Can you take me to the sad turtle, Pyrae? Can you follow the stinky smell?

**azure turtle** · 05-14-2002, 10:21 PM

*Meanwhile, Don and Azure are inspecting the censors at the cave entrance*
Don: Well, it seems as though everything is in working order. No malfunctions.
Hmm...what if we're dealing with someone who's trained in the ways of the ninja?
Don: Could be...
Waitasec, didn't the InGen people who came for Machias manage to sneak in without setting off the alarms?
Don: You're right. I don't recall the alarms going off.
I guess you need to upgrade, Don-San.
*Don sighed*
Don: I think I should. But we better continue searching for this "intruder" first.
Right you are.
*Don and Azure began inspecting the area near the entrance*

**Kali** · 05-14-2002, 11:06 PM

*settles down from laughing* Okay, well, at least we know SC's having fun.

Raph: Yeah, wish we were.

Think we should get back to searching?

*Raph thinks* Maybe we should take a shower before this stuff totally dries.

Good idea.

*enigma-1* · 05-15-2002, 07:35 AM

*nods, pointing toward the cave again* Take if Terran want.

*starts to slither toward the cave again, waiting for her to follow*

Terran · 05-15-2002, 10:07 AM

*Terran follows a bit nervous*

Hey, Pyrae. Does it smell scary? Are we in danger?

*enigma-1* · 05-15-2002, 10:56 AM

*shakes head* No scary. Not dangerous.

*flexes his claws menacingly* Nothing beat Pyrae. Mama say best fighter raised. Only lost one match and win others. Nothing hurt Terran. Terran is friend.

*Skeletoncrew* · 05-15-2002, 03:59 PM

~This will be my last entry here for a while, so I'm going to write a little summary of the future for SC's travels.~

*Meanwhile in Arkham: SC and Eric fall asleep to the sound of sirens, screams, and the ocassional gunfire.*

*The police and concerned citizens will manage to shoot, chop, and detonate about half of the zombies into small enough pieces that they can't cause any more trouble. Much to everyone's surprise the remaining walking dead collapse at dawn. National Guardsmen will arrive just in time to find inanimate rotting corpses in the streets, and no apparent cause for the night's events. Many chalk it all up to a prank that snowballed into mass hallucinations and hysteria. Casualities were relatively low and mainly caused by people with itchy trigger fingers and too much alchohol in their systems. No one questions SC and Eric about the nights event, and they leave town for their next destination.*

*SC and Eric spend the next few weeks traveling, eatting good food, visiting numerous cemeteries and unusual museums, occasionally causing scenes similar to those in Arkham, and spending an awful lot of "quality time" in hotel rooms and secluded areas.*

**azure turtle** · 05-15-2002, 04:09 PM

(( OOC: Noooo! Why are you leaving us, SC? You're not gonna come back home to the caves? Then again, you do seem occupied with Eric...

But come back and visit us from time to time! *puppy dog eyes* ))

*Skeletoncrew* · 05-15-2002, 04:14 PM

~Don't panic! I'll have SC and Eric part ways when I get back from my trip (After all, he has to get back to "work" at some point

). She'll come back to the caves laden with gifts and tales of her necromantic antics.~

**azure turtle** · 05-15-2002, 04:15 PM

(( OOC: Coolness! Sounds exciting! It seems sad that you'd part ways with Eric, though. You two make such a nice couple

))

~HIYA! *glomps Machias*~

*Splinter nodded* It did. And I do not mean to neglect you when training the others. Now that you are all healed, you can start joining in on our training sessions if you wish. It will be a lot of work.
