Lin Bei Fong | Legend of Korra

John Crichton - Farscape

[youmissed]

[Ignoring the fact that zombies are apparently real (who knew?), John Crichton can say there's far worse people to end up trapped with. Some cop with magical whip powers was getting the luck of the draw, especially when John was running out of ammo on his pistol. John ducks down next to Lin]

So that party trick of yours. Do you ever run out of juice or you pulling the Energizer bunny thing?

[arresting]

One: bending is not a party trick.

[Lin turns from dispatching the group barring her way and sends a wire whip shooting dangerously close over his shoulder and through the skulls of a couple of shambling skulls behind him.]

Two: no. I don't. Do you ever run out of absurd questions?

[youmissed]

[John doesn't even have time to instinctively flinch away from the wire shooting over his shoulder, Lin is just that fast]

I'll let you know when I do. [Offers her an exhausted grin, even if she doesn't seem like the smiling time. John turns with the breathing space Lin gave him and fires at some of the zombies further in the back, his pulse pistol flashing]

[arresting]

[Lin only responds with a slight rolling of her eyes as she slams a foot forward, knocking a wave of them backward with the way the earth rises and pushes them backward. Another sharp movement, and there's a wall in their way, too thick for them to get through too quickly.]

How much ammunition do you still have left?

[youmissed]

[John almost forgets to pop his Chakan oil cartridge out of his pistol to check, he's so surprised to see the ground pulling all that right in front of him. One of these days he'll straight-up ask for the science behind this - that is, if they don't end up as zombies themselves. John as the sneaking suspicion if it's down to the two of them, he's the one with the higher chances of zombification, just because he doesn't have magic rock powers here]

Not much. I'll need to find another weapon if this keeps up.

Rupert Giles - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[consultmybooks]

[So it wasn't exactly a nice rescue. But, having just been yanked out of the jaws of a hungry, shambling monster by a heavy metal cord around his wrist, Giles isn't complaining. He's just going to try and stumble back to his feet, shaking his head to clear it and, almost as an afterthought, trying to get the cord off.]

[arresting]

[Lin releases his wrist with a subtle move of her own, the other hand moving up in a sharp movement to bring a spike of earth up to impale the corpse before it can attempt to reach for him again.]

You'd do well to be a little more cautious.

[consultmybooks]

[Giles lets out a yelp at the sound of the earth splitting and reforming itself. But when he sees that the result is a dead zombie, well, he settles down a bit, looking back at Lin with an expression of mingled admiration and wariness. A witch, maybe?]

"Cautious", um, isn't anything close to my middle name, I-I'm afraid.

[It's Edmund.]

I, um, I suppose with less...actual people around t-to assist, though, you might have a point.

Chief Bei Fong, what's going on here? [There were ugly dead people chasing him earlier. Let him hide behind you!]

[arresting]

...Tahno, wasn't it?

[She only knows as much about Pro-Bending as she needs to, but she remembers this one from the aftermath of the fiasco at the finals.]

Well- I certainly wish I could tell you. But as it stands, besides what we've been told, I don't know anymore than you do.

[And that, of course, doesn't sit well at all. A lack of information in a situation like this could be deadly for all involved.]

[movesillegal]

[A breath escapes him through clenched teeth. If Bei Fong didn't know what to do, who the hell would? The prospect of waiting here until someone from the outside could find them was unsettling, on par with walking into a battlefield deprived of all senses.]

So we're at a dead end. Wonderful.

[arresting]

[She doesn't miss that- and frankly, she's none too pleased either.]

Could be worse. Could be much worse, and complaining isn't going to do either of us any good. Now- you can at least fight, right?
