００５ ☠ video;

[jemerite]

[Zinc is sitting before one of the large windows in her home, feet dangling from the upper mezzanine, looking out at the snow. The pale lighting makes her ashen skin all the more pallid. She is singing to herself quietly, it isn't a particularly pleasant sound, voice dry and cracked, ragged and out of tune. The vine is happy to translate what she is saying, and will probably have to do so,]

Tu brises mon coeur...

[She murmurs the little song to herself absentmindely, but gives up somewhere in the middle, lowering her chin to the railing across the edge, staring blankly out the window. Eventually, she gets around to saying something of her own, and even then there's no one else there for her to be speaking to. Does she even know the vine is there? She's not looked at it once, so far.]

Même si vous ne pouvez pas m'entendre. Il fait froid et tu me manques, salaud.

[[ooc; hover for those translations.]]

[Thinks of what it would be like without Cake AND Marceline AND Princess Bubblegum.]

That's true. The girls here seems ok, not dangerous or anything...

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

Some are dangerous, and other monsters find their way, into the Garden.

[She looks down quietly before admitting,]

I am not always safe, to be around.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

If they find a way in and try to hurt anyone, I'll be there. It's kinda what I do where I'm from.

[Starts]

What do you mean?

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

[She looks a little sullen.]

I am Reanimate. The virus hungers, for flesh.

Re: [Video]

"...The Rea-the re..."

[Thinks a moment]

"A Zombie?!"

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

[Zinc gives a wry, self-denigrating little expression.]

Yes.

[She didn't like to be called a zombie, the word held certain connotations in her own world, but she was also aware that most of the women here only understood what she was talking about if she said it.]

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

B-but you don't act like a zombie! Zombies don't talk or warn people, they just go braaaaainsss and eat people and stuff!

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

I'm a very clever zombie.

[She says clever, but maybe she means willful. She had always been a terrifyingly willful woman, why would that change after death?]

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

But what if...uh, someone was a hero who beats up evil that came here. That would mean they would have to, you know, kick your buns.

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

[She shakes her head.]

I stay inside, and no one has been eaten.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Oh.

So how do you...you know, control your urges and stuff?

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

I am brought other food. My... friends bring it to me.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

...Dead meat?

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

Yes. The bears will provide it, at the arena. Gavril also likes hunting.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Bears I know, but what are Gavrils?

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

Another guest here.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Uh, I guess I should have said, my name's Fionna!

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

Hello, Fionna.

[She gives a little wave.]

My name is Zinc.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! That's a pretty sweet name.

Maybe...I dunno, we can get together sometime?

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

My home is not hard to find. Enclosed and white, beyond the ruins. The key is outside the gate.

[She had built the house herself with the magic dirt, she kept herself locked in of her own volition.]

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Beyond ruins?! Now that sounds math! I'll totally be looking for you there!

[Her place sounded all creepy and zombie like. AWESOME!]

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

The cats will guide you, if you are lost.

[Zinc adds this as an after thought. She and the cats did not really get along. She had threatened to eat the one which had greeted her the first time she arrived...]

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Cats...

Sure, I'll ask them. Are they always helpful?

[That made her face falter a little bit. Too much of a reminder of home.]

Re: [Video]

[jemerite]

Sometimes. Most of the animals have jobs.

Re: [Video]

[fionna-time.livejournal.com]

Jobs...

[Thinks a moment.]

Are you gonna be ok?
