[Sonya offers her a smile, somehow perfectly amicable despite... everything.]
It could suit you as well, Rodya.
[My very IC Sonya RP. The most authentic.
Captain Boomerang paws at his mask while getting carted off, moaning in pain as he sluggishly bleeds all over Sidon. Absolutely no one is surprised by what's behind the mask when he rips it off so he can apply pressure to the open wound. He clearly needs medical attention and soon.
The zombies continue to upchuck black goo at the group, swiping and clawing at them where they can, and even trying to pull them into open graves as they run for the west exit. They are most likely taking a few hits here and there, just based on the sheer amount of zombies versus their very small group.
Once they reach the gates, they will need to find a way to hold them shut so the zombies can't chase after them. Otherwise they'll be stuck outrunning the horde for the rest of the trip to Wayne Manor. Link continues to bleed out, which is also a problem.]
[ SIDON YOU HAVE TO LET LINK RIDE YOU IT'S THE ONLY WAY HE'LL SURVIVE HE HAS TO HIT IT FROM BEHIND
once they get past the gates, lucien has gotten his shit together ... marginally, perhaps. or at least moved past the laughing stage of insanity to the stage where he starts wanting to hurt people! hooray. he'll slip off dion's shoulder, and head over to the metal gates - slamming the palm of his joybuzzer against the metal and hopefully electrifying the whole thing so any zombie that touches it gets a good, 11 out of 10 shocking. this is pure zelda logic but I feel like this might have some success in a comic sense. ]
[ Link is dying and they have to seal the gates but Dion is not entirely recovered from seeing is child (clay hild) be birthed and massacred within the span of three seconds. He considers using some of his clay to barricade the door, only to realize it'll likely just happen again.
He closes his eyes. ]
Take my wing for Captain Boomerang.
[ He just rips off one of the wings to hopefully(?) help Link out as a tourniquet.
while GOMKER JERNER JOMBER electrifies the gates, he takes the wing from goops with little more than a grunt of acknowledgement. mostly because without any zombies around, it's very tempting to just take dion by the arm and throw him instead of taking his offering.
but link is not doing well, so he sets him down so they can at least treat his wound while the others look for a way inside—and keep everyone else out. sonya or anyone not 12' tall better help with this tourniquet though. ]
[ Honestly she is actually invested in being alive so she also actually just cuts off a piece of the long string-rope thingy off the end of her kite and will also get to work on helping tourniquet their Lonk. She needs you alive, buddy. Grossss, she's covered in zombie goop. ]
Mm, and sign away my freedom? The only thing worse is doing it willingly.
[ That IS shit Sonya would say so honestly spot on for I'm sure the very little info you can actually glean of this guy. Anyway between her cutting strips of Goop Wing and the kite string, we can probably get something reasonable going on here. ]
[The gates are now electrified! They won't stay that way forever but there's at least a minute's worth of electricity pumping through them, and your water bottles will also use some of the debris laying around to lock the gates into place.
This wing probably has some sort of wiring inside to keep its shape, and that will need to be removed before he can use it as a tourniquet. Luckily, Sonya still has two hands and is sort of invested in not watching his co-worker bleed to death, so he'll help out with that. Between the three of them, they manage to get a stopgap tourniquet going.
A placid smile, for Rodya:]
You're mistaken. I'm fighting for our freedom, and you...
[He hums and shakes his head, changing the topic after a moment's pause.]
Captain Boomerang has lost too much blood and will only be a detriment to the mission. [There's a weak, offended "hyah" that is promptly ignored. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a walkie talkie, that he then holds out to Rodion with bloody hands.] I'll stay behind with him to provide medical attention... And to ensure the gates remain shut. Continue to Wayne Manor and complete the mission. When it's done, contact us through this.
[No way to go but forward now. Before they leave, Link will also pass out a set of lockpicks and miscellaneous equipment for getting past the manor's security, bequeathing them to Sidon with a tired grunt.]
[ what a spicy exchange between rodya and sonya... that dion doesn't notice because he is traumatized-ly marching toward the manor.
how's it looking, by the way? is there any damage from the zombie invasion that they can take advantage of, a window that they can smash, or are they going to have to lockpick their way in? ]
[ his mysterious but intense affection for captain boomerang(???) means he is taking these lockpicks and such and managing to masquerade as normal for a second, trying not to crumple it all in his hands. he's worried about leaving, but also wants to go smash some rich people skulls. ]
Thank you—and rest easy now.
[ of course this means he will be handing all the equipment to someone on the team who can use them, though. though, like—is there a structural weakness they can smash through? ]
[ Bitch. All talk and nothing else to say -- nothing ever changes. Her expression is neutral, but it's back to smiles when she takes the walkie-talkie and turns her attention back to her brand new Suicide Squad. She does throw one last comment over her shoulder though. ]
Try not to die while we're off. I'd rather not become a pile of splat brains.
[ Pockets the walkie-talkie, hers now. Axe in hand, kite strapped on back, and with two less waterbottles and only three feral traumatised men, she's ready to go! Knocking out the bourgeosie is her wheelhouse or something, probably.
Her smile is thin as she walks up to the grand mansion. If push comes to shove she can just axe a back door right. ]
[The green glow they started noticing near the cemetery is much strong the closer they get to the manor, with it being the brightest when they get to the private cemetery in the estate's backyard. Or, uh, the backyard adjacent area? Cannot understate how fucking huge this plot of land is. They'll be walking for five minutes uphill before they get to the manor itself after passing the private cemetery.
Once they're close enough, they'll see there's a bit of damage to the manor from the zombie invasion. The back door is barely hanging on by a thread. The windows have been smashed open, with holes in the glass pane large enough to fit most of their fists, except for Sidon's fishy paws.
They might need the lockpicks for something else later, but right now it looks like they could probably just smash through if they decide to throw stealth right out the door.]
[ do we seem like a stealthy bunch? at least dion is smaller now that he's lost a lot of clay along the way. the goop is glorping.
lucien will at least try and be quiet as he approaches, BOSSILY gesturing for everyone else to get down too as they approach the back door. if all is quiet he'll just try pushing it with a foot from as far away as possible to see what happens. ]
[ He will crouch down and to his best to be stealthy as they get closer to the manor, but he'll make his way over to a window while borker checks the door, becoming a clay noodle (cloodle) to make his way into one of the holes in the windows to survey the inside.
If there's no immediate threat, he will cloodle his way inside. ]
[ Lmao as I recall the last time Rodion's squad tried to do a stealth mission. In her defense she's not the one who fucked it up but still. The group effort was definitely something.
God bless Porger and his attempts to make them get down, because she just glances once at Boops Boops and is like well this is going to be interesting probably. And then she's immediately proven right, basically.
What about all the other windows and stuff, what rooms are actually lit up and etc? Can she spot any shadows of people within, moving around, etc... Maybe some room where the green glow is especially strong.
Are there any visible crazy home security fits. Surely the rich-ass Waynes household didn't just LET the zombies wreak havoc all over his pristine interior. Does she just watch Boopsler just instantly eat shit. ]
The door has been smashed open! When this happens, the group hears what appears to be the sound of a conversation abruptly cutting off. It seems to have come from somewhere on this floor.
Peering inside the house, they appear to be in some kind of mudroom area that opens up to a hallway, which has been torn to shit. The hallway itself is dimly lit, because rich people get to have working electricity in the middle of an apocalypse, but there is one room that has better illumination than the others.
No green glow that they can see from here, though.]
[ he has been entrusted with the tools .......... he'll loudly go shh! to everybody, as if he wasn't losing his goddamned mind about 15 minutes ago, and definitely alerting everyone here to their presence. yay!
he'll put the tools inside his coat and slip in. if the others are going to go bowling in he isn't going to stop them, but he might peel off to a darker side room nearby while they move through the house. not far enough away he can't hop back into the action but he wants to try and scout ahead a bit. ]
[ Dion is also going to opt to be stealthy, perhaps it's time for another distract and extract?
He won't stop Sidon for being rowdy and loud if he wants to hunt down whoever they heard and kill them, but he'll opt to follow Lucien into the darker innards of the house, on the hunt for any sight of that ominous green glow. ]
[ yerker is the one who hotwired that car so he's not officially the man who has to deal with all the fiddly bits of this operation, as far as he's concerned.
while the boys are stealthing, he may as well try and chase out anything that's hiding from them. flush any rats out from the walls, so to speak. so he'll go towards the brighter room, though he's sort of studying the halls in a sort of—analytical, animal instinct. because shouldn't there be zombies if they broke in? what's the damage look like? ]
[ So, whoever lives in this home (the Wayne) definitely knows something happened in the back end. So Rodion is going to walk right in afterwards and preferably distance herself from just standing there openly in the back yard to get idk, tranqed.
She's going to be keeping an ear out for any noises that aren't caused by her fellow compatriots, because the sooner she can get an estimate on where their target(s) are, the better. Let's not have them get the jump on us.
She's going to go tail Sidon, since Jonker and One-Winged Goopiroth are being a pair. Are there anything like... flowervases or little trinkets she can grab just to have as impromptu throwables? ]
[If Lucien and Dion are scouting ahead and looking for more of that ominous green glow, they will eventually stumble across a locked door. There's a faint green glow coming through the sides where it isn't flush against the doorframe.
There are pieces of debris and broken decorations scattered throughout the mudroom and hallway. The house is fairly fucked up, like maybe a bunch of zombies came through here before getting driven out. Rodion can grab whatever she likes from the debris to use as a throwable.
In the brighter room, Sidon and Rodion will see a man and two zombies. The zombies are just sort of... chilling. Sitting at a table like they were having a tea party until the Suicide Squad broke the door down and caused a racket. The human man, who they would recognize as Bruce Wayne, immediately stands up and grabs his chair like he's about to use it as a baseball bat. There's a slightly crazed look in his eyes, like homeboy might have had a mental breakdown and is still going through it.]
[ well then. maybe we did all go a little insane as a treat, including brucie here. he'll leave the Charm Team to deal with talking to him for the moment - it's a helpful distraction while he tries to feel around the sides of the door. he'll move over to give dion space, actually - pulling out the tools and starting to press into the lock, but mostly holding it open.
[ referring to it as his bits... bit dion will do as requested, becoming soft once more and oozing into the lock to assist in "pressing" where it "needs it".
assuming the house is quiet enough to hear bruce yelling. ]
[ while jorker and goops discuss their bits and put the right parts into the right holes just the right way, he's itching for a fight? zombies are here. they're not people who will explode their brains if they die.
he'll round the zombies like—well, a shark. he has no interest in talking to bruce, so the 'charm' in charm team is really just one woman. ]
