You're Fine for a While, but You Start to Lose Control
Who: Klaus and Ingrid
What: Klaus fights zombies and Ingrid disapproves for various reasons.
Where: The streets of Prospero
When: October 10th, the Dark Hour
Rating: PG-13 for gore. But. It's zombies. What did you expect?
It's been nearly two months, and Klaus can no longer hide out with the excuse that he's 'working on his lab'. Of course, he's regretting the decision somewhat now. His makeshift lab may be sub-par, but at least it isn't full of zombies.
He's seen these before. He fought them back in Europa, where they were called revenants and were the last lingering traces of the horrible devastation visited upon his country by the Other. He's used to seeing half-dead creatures swarming the streets, brainless monsters who once were people. Honestly, it's almost refreshing, a small part of home in this place so very foreign to him.
It helps that these revenants are much more advanced than the ones he'd fought previously: they're fast, coordinated, strong. They provide an excellent outlet for all of the frustration he's been building up. He can analyze their movements as a fresh adversary, adjust his fighting style; in short, he can think about something other than Prospero and Personas and how his Spark has been stunted since coming here, so much so that it took him over two weeks to finish the makeshift electrical sword he's wielding. That would have normally taken him perhaps only two or three days with the same wildly sub-standard materials, even factoring in the distractions of ruling a country. It's ridiculous. It makes him angry.
And when a Spark gets angry, especially a Spark as strong as the Baron, Tyrant of Europa, things tend to get brutally eviscerated and/or electrocuted. He may not be able to fully access his Madness, but his Madness was always several tiers above everyone else's anyway, and the result is still terrifying. He's stubbornly refusing to allow his Persona in on the fray. He's fought worse than this alone and survived. He doesn't need some strange apparition from out of his own head relegating him to the position of backup.
Of course, that means that he's being steadily forced back into a corner by the steady onslaught of zombies. He's having to sacrifice finesse for simply slashing as wide a swathe as he can and hoping the electrical runoff gets the few may have missed -- namely, the ones perhaps a little smaller in stature than their peers. Damn child zombies. They were a problem back in Europa too. How are you supposed to hit something half your height? Ugh.
