So, there is this guy that hasn't been in the Bar in a long time. A lot has happened since then. As it is a decapitated head rolls into bar, leaking a silvery clear fluid onto the floor. What's strange about this head, is that it is not only that of this man who used to frequent the bar but the eyes are moving and looking around the bar.

Shortly after this gruesome thing entered a body followed shambling slightly. The body stoops and picks the head off the floor and reattaches it to itself.

(OOC you can tag before or after the reattaching.)

Guppy sees him just as he's reattaching his head.

:O

He approaches, albeit not as fast as he would have done prior to reattachment.

"Are you able to heal that?"

Kai looks at the human.

"This is not F2One," says the assassin.

"This is Milliways." Guppy says. "I'm Guppy, I'm a doctor."

"Do you know where I can find the leader of the rebels on the planet F2One?" he asks ignoring the introduction.

"Not here." Guppy says. "Are you okay?"

"Then do you know where I will find him?" asks the undead guy.

"Er... planet F2One?"

"Do you know his location on the Planet?" asks Kai.

"No, I've never met him." Guppy says.

Curious. Very very curious.

A head, followed by an ambulatory decapitated body.

Tempting, very tempting.

It must be a zombie. ZOMBIES NEED TO BE TURNED INTO DUST! No. There is a rule against that here. There are two; she would be violating two out of the three rules. And that is terrible.

But it's a zombie!

Maybe no one will notice if she scoops up the head and sneaks out back. The rules are more nebulous out there, someone told her once.

The curiosity is too much; she can't just sit and watch. This is a rare type of zombie! Just as the body stoops down, a red-haired woman darts by and carries the head off and out the back door.

"Then I have no use for you," said Kai turning around to find no door.

"There is no door, how did I arrive?"

The head opens its eyes.It's body shambling after.

"Sometimes the door... disappears, temporarily."

"Well make it come back," commanded the dead man.

Oh dear, she is getting blood... Hold on, that is not blood. What is that?

Cheles is going to get a present when she gets back home. A dress stained with some odd bodily fluid. Maybe a bag full of random zombie bits. Hooray!

But not right now. The woman has ventured out to the strange part of Milliways' grounds where the sun shines brighter and the winter loses its bite.

She picks a felled log and sits. After noticing the head's eyes had opened, she cheerily tells it, "Hello!" before setting it down and standing back up to search her pockets.

Hmm... A crossbow bolt won't quite do. Ah! There! Throwing knives! They aren't quite scalpels, but they will have to do.

She'll have to do something about that body. ASH IT! But she wants to dissect it too! Oh bother.

The eyes blink, but due to the height where the neck was severed it can not speak. But the body seems to be under control, even thought the head is currently watching the woman.

Insistent thing...

She looks back at the head as she considers her options. "Hey, we met here once!" He isn't as colorfully dressed as when they first met, though.

Oh darn! He's a patron!

...

Rope. She needs rope. She needs to knock the body to the ground and tie it to something. But rope... rope. Maybe some vines?

She starts looking around for something, anything, to tie down the body. But, she has to keep an eye on the body's advances as well. Urgh... distractions.

Oh! Here you go Kai's body, have a 10 second snaring spell.

The body is snared and struggles for the 10 seconds. This would be frustrating if he had emotions.

As the spell wears off a flick of the wrist and his brace shoot out to grab the head and pull it back to his body. His hands catch the head and put it into position. The protoblood begins to mend the severed muscle, bone, flesh, and processors.

She was searching the ground for something to bind him with, but had no luck. She was about to cast another snare spell when the head is snatched away.

She casts the spell anyway. Another 10 seconds of not moving. But that doesn't prevent him from healing or speaking. Only from running away.

Or running toward her, depending on his intent.

"You unfortunate, wretched creature. I would turn you to ash and free you from your torment, but there are many here that would object. Cruel jailors, they are."

He reminds her of... it was so long ago, and still she is being punished for it. "I pray that there is not one shred of a soul in that body of yours." See, she's repentant! Why then, is she still in this body? Why can she not die?

"This is not the planet F2One," said Kai, "However, do you know of the leader of the rebellion of that plant?"

There is no emotion in that voice, only the efficiency of a machine.

"No. I haven't heard of this place referred to with that name. Nor ever heard of such a planet."

"Who is it who torments you so?" There is a dangerous edge to the way she says it.

"Then what is this place?" asked Kai less out of curiosity and more to know where he was in the Universe.

He ignored her other question and her tone.

Jim stares slack-jawed for a moment.

Beat.

"Hell of an entrance. I'll bet you're GREAT at parties."

Who is growling like a cat at unruly prey? Not her. There is nothing catlike about her.

Stupid golem.

"Milliways." Darn, he is just going stand there and talk. No running, now fighting? She sits back down, doing her best to avoid the puddle of protoblood. "I am not sure that this is even a planet. But it is near the end of the universe. All of them. In the temporal sense, not the spatial."

Hmm, maybe she should scoop up some of that goop. Even contaminated, that would be better than just a dress stained with it.

"Irrelevant," he said, "How do I get back to F2One?"
