hollow plots and zombens

[made_up_names]

WHO: Peter Parker, Zomben, and all sorts of unlucky people
WHAT: Hollow!Uncle Ben (aka Zomben) has started to show up on campus. There will be an open comment (for generally being chased) as well as specific prompts for pre-plotted encounters.
WHEN: Very late on January 27th, forward dated to later in the week as well.
WHERE: Campus in general, also the gazebo in Soleil.

( Prompts are below so I can set up a general timeline-ish-thing! katoptron or Rho#9327 if you want me to set up something specific. Or just zoom yourself to the open comment and we'll just have some fun there.

I will match format, so if you prefer prose, prose away! )

Huh? Oh, right. You didn't see this before.

[She was too busy trying to kill him, that first time.]

Between you and me? It's pretty amazing.

The best, even.

Now come on, we've got work to do.

[ Oh yeah, he's kind of in mortal peril. And so is Ben. What else is new though? ]

-- Right. Uh - I last saw him out by the frozen lake.

[ And sent him down into it. He doesn't have his costume with him, so he pulls up his hood to ward off the cold and swings out across campus. ]

[Gwen joins in the web-swinging, and she's able to keep up pretty well. Actually, it even looks like she's been doing this for a while with how natural it looks for her.]

Why couldn't he have picked somewhere warmer. And not, you know, a frozen lake.

[ That's kind of amazing? Despite how horrible this situation is he's kind of impressed honestly. Magic costume and she looks like she's been at this longer than he has. ]

I'm trying to slow him down, y'know? Without actually hurting him.

[deafleppard]

So... how exactly do we draw him out? Do we just yell "fresh tasty humans" at the top of our lungs?

Because I'd be down for that.

[ Gwen. Gwen please. He - looks horrified for a second? And then the horror kind of wraps around to hilarious because what the heck else can he even do. ]

I mean. He might actually respond to that. But I was gonna go back somewhere I saw him before.

[deafleppard]

Oh, right. Going back to the scene of the crime makes a lot more sense.

[But she might actually be a little disappointed that they're not going for her idea.

But there's still a chance!]

[made_up_names]

[ Maybe when they get there Gwen. ]

Right, yeah. I think - I think he patrols he same areas.

[deafleppard]

You ready, then? Can't say he'd be real thrilled to see a couple of kids back on his lawn.
