“Aaaawooooouuuu!! Rrrouf! Aou-awoooooouuuu!!!”

Tae is crouched on top of her apartment building, howling at the moon.

It’s not even full. It’s a waning crescent- nearly as far from full as you can get.

Tae seems to care very little about this.

[bpmzero]

Tae will be very fun to do stuff with in this event, which is exactly why I haven’t done it until now. (/j) Anyway! Uncapped Crew Call starter call!!! Just let me know which scene you want to do.

Petti Affairs- A period drama set in Europe in the early 1700s. What’s it about? I dunno- I just thought it’d be funny to have Tae in a setting like this, and if you think you could have some fun with your character in that setting, we can absolutely work something out!

Zom-buddy to Lean On- A buddy cop movie set during a zombie apocalypse! And guess who the buddy is? :> Let us ensue some shenanigans.

“...and get a bowl next time, lady!”  A fairly irate citizen was making quite the scene at the giant soup cauldron that graced Fibonacci this time of year, a couple of crowd members voicing their agreement.  From the scene a figure seemed to be pushed forward, staring blankly back at them for a few moments before turning around, leaving them to continue as things were.

“Uurrrh...nnnhhhmmmhh...”  As she walked away, a closer look would reveal a trail of minestrone running down her chin, as well as splotched around her lips.  Things were easier for her when she had someone who knew restraint to rely on...

“Mmmrrrrrrrrrnnnn...”  Tae was crouched by a hole that had been cleanly sliced in the frozen waters, on all fours, as if preparing to pounce upon something.  Her eyes were narrowed, focused- they scanned the waters below with an uncharacteristic determination.  Hardly a twitch of her muscles otherwise, body frozen as the surface it-

“Rranh!”  A sudden, loud exclamation as her head reared up, mouth agape...and plunged right into the hole, submerged instantly in the frigid waters beneath.  There it remained for a few second, before her body reared back up, her now-wet hair swinging through the air in a beautiful arc, like a whale breaching the surface of the ocean waters- and much like such a beast, she’d gotten her prey.

“Rrfffhh nnhf!”  Her normally incoherent murmurs were muffled further by the fish in her mouth, writhing frantically around to escape its rather unfortunate fate.  Even so, she looked to the one who’d come with her with an expectant expression, craning her head to the side, toward the hole she had just stuck her head in.

Time to throw up a starter call for the last week of WinterFES 2021!

Tae can likely be found at:

Build-A-Gingerbread Man, Soups Up, I’m Going Ghost...Interacting!, Nom Ranching, Xtreme Ice Challenge, Crystal Funhouse, Something Seems Ice-Fishy, Onsen and Offsen, An Uplifting Winter Fair

No cap on these! Reply if you have a specific idea for one of these or another one; otherwise I’ll just choose which one I think would be best.

“Gggnnnhhhh....rrrrhhh.....”

Tae was crouched down on all fours, a deathly glare in her eyes as she examined the source of her ire...a poor Netpup she’d run into while in Golden, who was just sitting opposite her, not making a move.  Were it to have a face, it’d surely just give her a wide-eyed head tilt, some sign it was just as perplexed as she.  But monitors weren’t very expressive, not by themselves.

Tae was largely a creature of instinct. When something set off a trigger in her undeath-addled mind, whatever action it told her to take, she would immediately jump on.  Her time wandering the streets alone had her acting on such impulses quite a number of times- whether it was a flash of pinkish-red hair, a blonde ponytail, or an elegant kimono, many a civilian found themselves leapt upon by the babbling young woman, expressing great affection toward them before she would freeze up.  It wasn’t one of her friends.  It never was.  As they ran in bewilderment and terror, she might have felt embarrassment if she possessed inhibitions about...well, anything.

By the seventh time, some lucidity had managed to make itself known in her semi-aware brain.  A realization that resonated deep within her...that she was alone here.  She had begun to keep to herself on the streets, retreating into alleyways whenever she could, looking for anything to distract herself, to keep herself from looking for her fellow Franchouchou members, even unconsciously.  At the moment she was tucked away in the shadows, laying over a dumpster and lethargically scarfing down a discarded hotdog someone had left behind.  her eyes staring dead ahead, but seeing nothing.  She just wanted to sleep forever once again, let time in this awful place pass her by if she wasn’t going to...

...What?

Against Tae’s will, a passing figure caught her attention.  A brief glimpse of short, fluffy white hair, with two long tails of it trailing behind...she recognized that, she knew it.  That had to be...!

But she was uncertain.  She couldn’t know.  She was probably wrong anyway.  So she managed the willpower to keep herself reserved, carefully getting off the dumpster and walking to the end of the alleyway.  Slowly, she peeked around the corner, bracing herself against the wall, and, with as much clarity as she could manage, called out one name.

“...Uuuahnghkkoouagh...?”

aurelsabre​: 

Narberal only had bought a bag of candy from a store on her doorstep and someone’s wanting a trick or treat. The doppelganger can identify a human being or an undead. She reminded of her former party members that were zombified by Khajit on her world.

“Your actions were convincing enough for an undead like you. Here.” Scooping an amount of candy and putting it on the white bag, guess that’s how trick of treating works as she only followed it on the net. “

While it wasn’t something she preferred over meat or squid, candy was still food- of course Tae would take any opportunity she had to get it.  From the way this person talked it sounded like they really thought she was a zombie, which...well, she was, but maybe that was a good thing on Halloween?  She would just have to do a good job putting her makeup back on tomorrow and she wouldn’t have broken the rule.

“Aaghrrngh!”  It was some kind of thanks, maybe?  Either way, she didn’t even step away before reaching down to grab some of the candy, ravenously shoving the pieces she’d scooped up into her mouth...wrappers and all.  The plastic and foil would soon be yanked out from her teeth, their contents safe and sound and being munched away in her maw.

[bpmzero]

“Drouggnnrgggh!” The words are utterly incomprehensible, but the action of Tae holding open a big white sack and throwing it forward to have sweets deposited into it should be.

But was she even at anyone’s front door, or did she just confront the first person who she thought she could get free candy from...?

It was a very convincing zombie costume she had on, in any case.

ISOLA EVENT INFO: MISTIFIED

If Tae was ever afraid of the mists, she hasn’t shown it.  She certainly isn’t now, as she’s been out and about as usual, drawn to whatever catches her attention!  And there may be a few things out there that do just that...

RESIDUAL DATA IMPRINTS

Franchouchou concert: You may find yourself amidst a crowd of people, all watching a group of seven girls up on stage, singing and dancing and putting on an amazing show!  Wait...that one up there who’s not singing, she looks familiar...an awful lot like the girl who’s up in the front rows, watching with rapt attention...

SENTIENT DATA IMPRINTS

Sakura Minamoto: An upbeat, red-haired girl with a lot of spirit and somewhat of an unlucky streak.  Most people back home know her as Number One from Franchouchou, but Tae knows her as one of her best friends.  Not hostile.

Kotaro Tatsumi: Franchouchou’s mysterious, eccentric manager.  He acts calm and suave toward most people, but can be considerably more unhinged around Tae and her bandmates.  Not hostile, but...a lot sometimes.

????: Who’s this?  A tall, purple-haired woman dressed in a crisp office suit.  She’s carrying around a shovel for some reason.  She seems to have come from a couple of decades ago, though who she is and what she does is anyone’s guess...

Uncapped likes on this post for a starter!  Message me info abt who you want for something personalized, or just leave it up to me and I’ll try and make something fun!

Food was meant to be eaten.  Tae was aware of that much- anything that she thought she could eat needed to be eaten, so she would do it.  There would usually be someone else there when she wasn’t supposed to eat something, and with nobody around all these hot dogs...what else was she supposed to think?

“Mmrgh?”  She was hunched over the stand when the proper-sounding voice grabbed her attention, blocking the view of just what it was she was doing.  It became all the more obvious when she turned her head to look at the other, though- a couple of uncooked hot dogs were sticking very unflatteringly out from her mouth, quickly slurped down her throat when she realized this could be drawing attention.

“Mmmnuhh...”  Tae took in the woman standing some feet away- tall with deep red hair.  Like an older Sakura, but that couldn’t happen.  What did she find strange strange about her taking this food?  She turned back to look at the cash register- oh!  Leaving money for the food would make this okay.  A hand shoved into her pocket to pull out the wallet she had on...no, this was a cell phone.  That was all she had on her when she arrived, and she didn’t recognize it.  Her eyes drifted back to the woman, then a stand many yards away- fortunately they hadn’t spotted her.  The customer gave his phone to the worker, who pressed it against...

Of course!  With absolute certainty, Tae took the cell phone and hit it against the register’s scanner with a loud KLACK!  She gave a self-satisfied hum as she held her phone to the inactive machine.  Another perfect save.

random starter - @bpmzero​ 

The way the other moves and acts was merely not a normal human would do but it seems that this one could be a zombie like Squiggly but not Squiggly but something eastern-related. Parasoul didn’t mean to bother the other but she did now by looking at her in a stern eye with bit of awkwardness.

“Pardon me for intruding you but, what are you trying to do with that hotdog stand while the vendor isn’t around?” It was good timing too.

[bpmzero]

Let’s get things kicked off around here! Starter call capped at 5 for a hungry queen who totally isn’t a zombie.

TAE YAMADA from Zombie Land Saga

Definitely a living breathing human and absolutely not a young woman brought back from the dead to help save an entire Japanese prefecture through the power of music

Sneezes so good that her friends named their band after the sound

Wanted for the public onstage murder of a whole-ass drumset
