Zombing Out · 11:43pm Sep 6th, 2021
Undead Bez opened her eyes, pushing her tangled mane out of her face and sitting up. Dante was right by her side, presumably having been watching her the whole time.
She blinked, blushing a bit. “Oh, hey… what are you doing?”
Dante blinked his bright red eyes, and as he realized what a trance he’d been in, his face began to glow the same color. “O-Oh, ehm….”
“…How’s your leg doing?”
“Oh! My leg? Err, I haven’t checked on it in a bit…hang on.” Dante peeled back a few strips of gauze to look at his hindleg, which was now far less wounded. The chitin was smooth and had barely any scratches or open cuts to worry about. “Odd…I keep hurting myself and it never really shows that often. Last week I sprained my back hoof during a concert and by the time we were at the hospital it was like new.”
“Huh. Weird. How’s that possible?”
The taller changeling’s ears seemed to be wilting and straightening at different intervals, almost as if he was trying to listen to something.
…but the room was quite silent.
“…Dante?”
He looked completely void of thought, yet confused at the same time. His perplexed expression looked hollow as ever.
“Dante? What’s the matter?”
He turned to face the other way, opening his mouth slightly to utter a response.
“…rahhhh….”
“Dante? Dante!”
“Rah…rah…rah-gatoni!” He suddenly jolted out of his zombified stupor, gazing nervously at his girlfriend. “R-Rigatoni, I-I meant…I’m craving some pasta.”
Undead Bez stared in awe. “Uh… what was that?”
“What was what?” He gave a nervous, toothy grin.
“For a moment you just um…”
He seemed to respond with a canted brow.
“I mean… you were kinda like… zombing out.”
“Z…Zombing? Me? Nooooo…c’mon, I think you might still be hallucinating or something. Let’s go get some pasta. Maybe I should PostMate it?”
“Um… okay, sure.”
“Coolio!” He grabbed his phone and pranced off.
Undead Bez continued staring as he left.
What in the world had just happened?
Um
Oof

”…I’m not panicking.”
“I’m confused.”

But you were stammering

“So? Even if he was turning into a zombie or something… well… I’m a zombie too.”
