[BATTLE PRP] [1 VS 1] Simple (Marcus and Alex)

[NeoSeussi]

The zomboil had just been making his way through the school, slowly shuffling along with his hands buried deep within his pocket and his gaze fixed firmly on the floor as per usual. His tall 6'1" frame hunched forward, his mop of white hair hiding his pale gray eyes. He was following a path through the school that he knew well, but suddenly, it occurred to him that it was taking longer to get to where he was trying to go then usual. Glancing up, he removed a hand from his pocket to brush the hair away from his eyes.

This...was not the hallway he should be in. He stopped in his tracks, glancing around with a frown. He didn't recognize this particular corridor at all.

Was this..was this the hallway that led to the haunted house that he had heard about? That same one that he had ended up at with Yin and Xiu that day that they had all swapped genders? Well..he supposed there was only one way to find out. Steeling himself, he continued forward, walking a little straighter, head held a little higher, and hands now held into fists at his sides.

When he reached the end of the corridor and pushed his way outside, he indeed found himself staring straight at the same strange house he had been at once before. He felt like he should just turn around, like he should leave now. This was dangerous, and he was alone...but, what an opportunity it was! He could learn so much from this, and well, there was a chance there was no danger at all...

Having made his decision he shambled up to the house, and pushed his way inside.

Some amount of exploration time later, Alex thought he heard a strange noise, and went to investigate. Though, in a haunted house, a strange noise may have been any number of things.

But in this case, he entered a room, and came face to face with somebody...or something.

Oh jack. He knew that smell. That deliciously enchanting smell.

"Hunter." He growled

(rolling initiative)  

[NeoSeussi]

Oh, and it wasn't just a hunter. It was a hunter that Alex had apparently met before. In fact, it was one that he had met just outside of this house, the last time Alexander had been here.

"Oh, it's just you." Alex growled, lip pulling back from his teeth in a wickedly primal grin. "Where's that pretty little snack you had with you last time?" He asked, though he really wasn't sure why. What was it about the smell of humans that made him so easily lose control?

He eyed the weapon that the hunter had flourished in front of him with some apprehension. That thing looked sharp, and dangerous, and was enough to make Alexander take pause. As much as he just wanted to attack, to lunge at the human in front of him and attempt to claw out his flesh, he just couldn't find the opening to do so.

HP: 30
Damage: lol NO  

[NeoSeussi]

Alex was forced back, but hadn't been hurt in the process, which was a little..surprising. He licked his lips, eyeing the hunter as he backed up a little, still smiling coldly, the look in his eyes more akin to a tiger stalking it's prey then the reasonable intelligence that they normally held.

No wonder humans thought zombies were mindless killing and eating machines.

He did notice something, however fleeting it may have been. Something Alex had said had thrown the hunter off a little. Had the hunter said something about ghoulfriend? It had sounded similar, at least. So that explained why this human seemed to get so upset when Alex mentioned that delicious smelling little number that he had run into outside of the house before, just as he had last time as well.

And now the hunter was saying something about how he wouldn't let Alex touch her, but it was hard to listen when his mind was just telling him to attack, over and over again. And as soon as he saw an opening, any opening, he lunged forward again, with an eerie snarl. His hands and fingers were extended into claws that he would attempt to grab a hold of the human with.

Talking? Who needed talking?

HP:30
Damage: 11-6-1(defense)= 4  

[NeoSeussi]

Alex was forced back, once again, stumbling and barely catching himself before falling onto the floor. He straightened back up, eyes still cold and hungry and fixed on his opponent. The human was doing a better job guarding himself now, and Alex tried to circle around him, looking for an opening.

Human eating? Alex wished. He knew that he wasn't strictly actually allowed to kill or eat a human. Professor QB's class had proved to be quite informative regarding the rights of human's, as well.

But those human's weren't hunters. If any kind of human deserved to be eaten, it was a hunter, right? And the lust for flesh and brains, it was beating out a steady rhythm in Alexander's head that didn't want to stop.

Another awkward and stumbling lunge forward left him nowhere near being able to do any damage. There was just no clear opening for him to attack!


HP: 30
Damage: Nil~  

[NeoSeussi]

Alex snarled in frustration as he was thwarted yet again, his clawed fingers balling into fists at his sides.

"If you're not food, then what good are you?" He snapped, tired of this game already. He just wanted to be able to wrap his hands around this hunters throat, tear his teeth into his chest, beat his head upon the ground until all that delicious gray matter was spilled out upon the dirty haunted house floor. Was that too much to ask for? Really?

Maybe if he could take the hunter out by the legs, he'd be able to get him down on the floor where he'd be more vulnerable. In a change of pace Alex kicked out towards one of the hunter's ankles, trying to sweep in at it from behind as Yin had taught him to do. Unfortunatly Alex was clumsy and slow at the best of times, and the hunter would probably easily be able to defend against such a poor attack.

HP: 30
Damage: 3, but blocked, so 0 XD  

[NeoSeussi]

( lolol, no worries~ <3 )

Alex made a tsking sound, hissing it between clenched teeth. "Funny that you say that we shouldn't exist, but it's because of humans that we do." He growled. Which is pretty much the exact reason Alex wasn't supposed to try and kill them, but again, this was a hunter. He could justify it, right?

Hunters totally had it coming.

A ringing sound filled the air, and for a moment, Alex was completely thrown off. Perplexed, he watched the human pull a phone out of his pocket. Really? He was going to have a chat now? He made a movement towards the hunter, wanting to knock the phone right out of his hand but instead getting caught by the edge of a blade as the hunter swung it towards him. Luckily Alex stumbled back, and it only barely cut through his shirt into the rotting flesh of his shoulder beneath. In any case, the hunter was putting his phone away, so Alex moved at him again, this time fighting with fists instead of clawed fingers, trying to remember what he'd been trained, or what he'd seen Yin doing in his daily gym routines. He swung towards the hunters stomach, intent on getting him back for that cut.

HP: 28/30
Damage: 2  

[NeoSeussi]

Idiot? Did he just call Alex an idiot? Anger swelled up inside him. He hated that stereotype so much. But well...he was acting pretty dumb now that his predatory instincts had completely taken him over, so maybe he could let that one slide. Besides, the hunter was still talking, something about about a free pass, whatever that meant.

And then he turned and ran away.

He was running. Running.

Alex hated fast food.

With a disgusted sound, he shambled after the hunter for a small way, but it was too little too late as he could only catch a glimpse of the departing humans jacket fluttering out behind him. In a small fit of rage, Alex growled and threw his fist at a wall, wincing a little at the cracking sound but keeping his teeth clenched and not uttering a sound.

He then turned and shuffled back out the way he'd come, hands dug back into his pockets eyes narrowed and scowling. He would meet that hunter again sometime, and at that time, he would get a piece of him.
