[...Okay ed. This is the moment where SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.]

I found something. Cold. Probably not moving. Scythe it if I'm wrong.

[carptricks]

[lifts the weapon and extends it towards. . . wherever Ed is currently digging]

I'm ready.

[fuhrinkaed]

[WE PULL!! HARD!]

[soulping]

[YOU PULL!! HARD!!

You hear a wet, tearing noise, and as it rips free it might send you stumbling backwards. You feel something splatter on your face and clothes.

You've acquired one (1) arm]

[fuhrinkaed]

[WIPING HIMSELF OFF, thank goodness for cloaks.]

...Okay. There's a dead body under there.

That's. About what I figured.

Kaito, destroy its skull, in case this turns into a zombie thing.

[carptricks]

[OH MY GOD]

Ed, don't trip a death flag!

[but yeah, that's. that's the sensible thing to do. CROUCHES DOWN TO TRY AND LOCATE THE DEAD BODY'S SKULL. . .]

[soulping]

[it finds you before you find it.

With it's mouth.

It's teeth bite down on Kaito's fingers, hard. If he pulls away, it's . . . still attached, the rest of it's body still somewhere underneath the corn]

[carptricks]

[ajsdopijfaposjdPOIJAPOSDJFOPASJO OW???? FUCK THAT]

[FUUUUUUCK THAT]

[immediately yells in pain, jerks his hand back, and brings the sharp end of the scythe down on the head of whatever it was that bit him]

[fuhrinkaed]

[HOLDING THE ARM LIKE A BASEBALL BAT.]

[you know]

[just in case.]

[soulping]

[the scythe makes a sickening cracking noise as it embeds itself into the head, but it's enough for it to loosen it's hold on your fingers]

[carptricks]

[. . . THANKS ED]

[tries. to use. the scythe. to pry the thing's grip away form his fingers]

[soulping]

[you are now bitey head free]

[carptricks]

[T-THANK]

[time to backpedal away from the dead body area and examine the sound. HOW BAD IS THE DAMAGE. . .]

Garnet, a li'l light here. . .!

[onebullet]

[ Shining the light, as instructed! ]

Was that a zombie?

[carptricks]

I hope not! Geez. . .

[oh boy does he hope not]

[fuhrinkaed]

If you start feeling faint, we'll figure it out later.

Which way do we go now..?

[carptricks]

[seems like he still has his fingers in tact, just. bitten tasty fingers. he wraps them in the edges of his cloak]

. . .

Left.

[fuhrinkaed]

...Left, then.

If you feel weird at all, tell us early.

We're not having you turn into a zombie at a critical moment and maim us all. Period.

[carptricks]

[. . .]

I'm not stupid.

[but. god. with the way Garnet and Ed are reacting to him, he sure does look super tense]

[fuhrinkaed]

[...Okay then.]

[Deep breath, and SMILE. Ed's good at the smiling thing.]

It's fine, I'm sure. It was probably just a sneaky animated corpse. If it was a zombie, it would have been moving the whole time.

[onebullet]

[ Hisses quietly, looking at his hand ]

... you've got two options.

[carptricks]

[GARNET. . .]

-- don't jump to conclusions, here!

[his hand still seems fine, just. bitten]

[onebullet]

[ Exactly!

Stares at him. Hard. ]

[carptricks]

I'm fine. Seriously.

[wraps his hand into his cloak]

. . . if I start to feel funny, I'll tell you guys. Let's go.

[onebullet]

You promise? No being stubborn about it.
