For whatever reason, the screams from the Zombie didn't really bother Abelle. She saw them as more of a defense thing to warn people off, and true enough, the girl didn't seem to be trying to actually hurt anyone. Well, maybe the guy she tossed. But as soon as she had food in her, she seemed mostly frustrated to be around them. That was understandable, she seemed just terribly confused. Known on the beach by the locals for taking care of several injured creatures at one time or another, the surfer (stupidly, probably) went to cautiously trail behind the Zombie Girl, not in a curious, overly eager way, but in a careful and guarded way, waving off any stragglers that tried to figure out if their phones had magically started working.

They did not.

Clearing her throat, the bum said quietly, "Are you alright? Do, uh, you need help? Or do you know where you are?" She was trying to appear as least threatening as possible. The odd anthropomorphic creature turned up and created a buzz, but this was the first time someone quite like the Zombie Girl had arrived at the beach. Spying a few other people down the way, and what looked like crazy bugs, she just sort of paused and stared at it all.

So much for the simple beach fun today. If she could talk to the green gal, and.. whatever that was in the water, it definitely didn't blend into the human culture that made up the majority of citizens and tourists, but to get the day's activities back on track, she wanted to at least talk to the more unique tourists and inform the lifeguards so they could calm anyone down and assure them that (hopefully) there were no threats to safety present today.

With a last ditch effort, Abelle put on her most chill smile and said in total bro-talk, "So like, my name's Abelle, and this is Corath beach, the chillest place to surf. We have huge waves, hot babes, studly dudes, and the best dogs around. Y'gotta make sure y'get it with chili though or you're totally missing out, dude. Y'got any questions, I can totally answer them, dude, I practically rule this place." If she was lucky, she didn't look like a giant dork right now.

((Hello Nakon, jump right in if you want to play!

Just a heads up, still feeling awful, so going to lay down a bit. I'm so sorry I can't keep posting regularly yet.))

Stopped, turning to peer at Abelle with her now two eyes (though the right one was only about 30% useful). She glared at the woman for a bit, still agitated. But, at least this one wasn't screaming, staring, pointing, and being aggravating. "Ahhh....not know." She shook her head, brown hair slowly drying in the beach sun.

She huffed again, gingerly tapping the exposed muscle on the right side of her face. The fact that it didn't hurt, bothered her. Though maybe that was why it was hard to talk? The right side of her lips were just gone, straight up gone.

She peered at Abelle again. "Halp....meh....don't know. Head....feel heavy..." She actually looked like she was about to cry, the whole situation actually quite terrifying.

As to the way Abelle spoke, ZG barely noticed it. She had other priorities right now, though she would have probably called Abelle a dork (playfully!) if all her faculties were in order.

Tyrelle watched the figure walk toward her and Vee, and by this point it looked human, albeit with green skin. Shuddering, she watched another woman try to talk to it. She could hear the green figure form words, but the speech was a little broken. "What is it? It looks human, but damaged."

Saoirse was on crowd control. "Please, everyone keep your distance! We're not sure what it is yet, and whether or not it's safe. Please, stay behind me." The chatter nearly drowned out her voice. In her annoyance with the general public, another surge of power stole through her body, and she took a deep breath. I swear if someone does something stupid, it'll be the end of both of us at this rate.

That buzzing was still there, but she couldn't find the source. She shook her head impatiently.

Noticing that someone was trying to keep people away emboldened Abelle. She took cautious steps closer to ZG, palms held up so that she could see that there were no tricks going on, nothing like a weapon or anything. This was new territory to her in almost every way, except she knew of magic, she has magic, so there was nothing shocking about some sort of oddity showing up like this.

Taking a deep breath and smiling in that calm, lazy way, she gets just within lunging distance of ZG and speaks calmly. "Alright. Well you're on Corath Beach, and it looks like you've had quite the accident. Can you tell me anything you remember, anything at all?"

With a small hesitation she runs her tongue over her lips before continuing. "I do not want to alarm you, so maybe we can take a seat and have a nice chat? Maybe you'll remember your name?" Thinking about it, finding it plausible, but not wanting to draw too much attention to the female's condition, the beach bum says after another pause, "Does your head hurt? You might have some water in your ear." That was the nicest way she could say 'maybe your head is full of water and it needs to be drained'. Honestly she had a million questions about this person and what had happened to them, but if she couldn't remember anything...

Baby steps, she reminded herself. Trauma victims often need baby steps to get anywhere. Taking a deep breath, the steel haired woman gestures to the sand. "Why don't we sit and we can take it one step at a time. I'm sure no one will bother us." She kind of glances at the person who was directing people to keep away, raising a brow curiously. The lifeguards were all sort of watching with apprehension, but since Abelle seemed the most confident in talking to the green gal, they'd let her handle it. For now.

ZG huffed, still agitated but calming down. "Don....'t remember. But...follow...you...". She akwardly moved towards where Abelle motioned and sat down, taking a few deep breaths.

"Head feel like....sludge. Wading through....mud." She sniffed, looking down at herself. "Skin green...hard talk...but...wearing pink swimsuit? Why?" She scrunched up her face, tugging at her one piece, a little surprised that she was...well...athletic and curvy. But why was that a surprise? Was she supposed to be something else? Frumpy? Fat? Super skinny? She didn't remember.

"Water...in ear? No...water was....in stomach. Gone now.".

"It is monster they say," Vee said shyly with only a quick glance up to Tyrelle. Their eyes then returned to Zombie Girl, watching to make sure it wouldn't come any closer. They liked meeting new beings but somehow they figured this frightening thing was not recieving new friends at this point. The vae, however, were somewhat expendable if it turned out to attack them. That being said, the two near Saoirse did not, in fact, heed her advice.

They flew past Saoirse's head and approached Zombie Girl with a bold curiosity. They remained as far apart from each other as they had been the entire flight so far. They took up examining positions on either side of Zombie Girls head, technically withing reach, but far enough away they could likely elude any attempt she made to capture them.They floated their starting at her curiously, trying to discern what the strange creature was, and how it might be defeated if it came to that.

Looking to be much calmer since ZG was actually pretty chilled out and not trying to rip people limb from limb, the beach bum settles down, palms behind her, and leans back a little, looking her over curiously. "Hm. Let's see... No idea why you're here, or where you came from... Swimsuit, green skin. missing eye that came back... Er, do you at least remember your name?"

With a name at least Abelle could start somewhere. She has a hunch that the girl had drowned out at sea one night after a party, but beyond that, she had no idea how or why she was suddenly moving around again and green. With a good section of skin missing from her face. No desire to draw that to any attention yet, she figured if they moved slowly, maybe things would come back to ZG.

Once people on the beach realized that there was no immediate attack, no threat to their children, just their food, many started to slowly go back to what they were doing. Sure, a few were still hanging about, a couple trying to get closer, specifically a pasty white geek with a notebook who had come to the beach to try and meet the local sea serpent, but had accidentally come upon something much more interesting at the moment, and he looked... quite eager to inch his way closer and closer, coming up behind Saoirse in an excited shuffle. "What is that... Gotta find out... gotta get closer... So fascinating, I want to take her home to study..."

Seeing the vae get near the curiously memory-impaired zombie girl, Abelle raises a brow slowly. Not normal bugs, then. For a few moments she looks distracted, and she just raises a brow at them. Whatever they were, as long as they didn't startle the newest beach dweller, she didn't look like she'd mind. The last thing she needed was to be the closest body should anything go awry with this person, but for the moment, things looked okay. She hoped they were okay, or she'd be in a lot of trouble in no time.

ZG just sat on the beach, wracking her mind for answers. Nothing came up, nothing at all. "Don't remember....still hungry though..." She huffed, though thankfully the hunger wasn't as bad as before and wasn't making her angry.

Focusing on what she could, she pondered why her right eye came back, albeit not as fully functional as before. "Food. Need more food. Eye came back after eating." She had no real way to know if that were the case. She didn't even know that she was a zombie, nor did she know anything about zombies to begin with. Did she need to eat to heal? She still felt like crap, but better crap than before. Did eating all that food really help? There was one way to find out.

And then there was the buzzing, insect like things buzzing about her. "Grrr..." She growled, but wasn't particularly annoyed by what she thought were just animals. If she was a corpse, then it made sense that flies would be interested in her. Not that such a thought improved her mood. She didn't WANT to be a corpse!

An idle thought passes through her head as she wonders if the zombie could get better, on a large scale, from eating, or if the lack of food will make it so she starts to fall apart. That missing eye has her curious, mostly because at the moment there was a new one in the socket, but she could've just missed it earlier...

Thinking was not the beach bum's strong point, so she stands up and dusts her shorts off out of habit. "Hm, if you're hungry I can go get you some food, Mike owes me a burger or two anyway." Gesturing vaguely at the bar across the way, she glances around at the people and realizes that ZG is still drawing a fair amount of attention. "You can come with me if you want, or you can stay here." Honestly, she wasn't sure she wanted to say it, but it had to be said. "Er, so long as you don't ...y'know. Hurt people." It felt awkward to have to even bring up that point and there was no joy on her face when she said it, a thoughtful furrow in her brow as she runs her fingers over the back of her neck and sighs.

Quickly switching topics back to food, Abelle says pleasantly, "Mike's got a great burger, and when he puts onion rings on them and nacho cheese, it's a heart attack worth the risk."

Smacked her lips at the thought of a burger with everything on it. "Sounds good. Want burger. Want onion. Want cheeeeese." She almost, ALMOST sounded cute when she said cheese. Standing, she brushed the sand off her green pink clad posterior. "Want borger....burger. I follow you. I am....girl. With how she was dressed, there was no doubt about that.

The buzzing was still there, but since the little things weren't actively trying to land on her or bite her, she didn't really care. They didn't even look like insects, more like....flowers? The thought of more food was high on her list of priorities, so she ignored the little buzzers.

The curious discussion about food made Vee quote curious about the 'monster.' Most notably the social way it seemed to accept this approaching alien who offered it whatever a burger was. It was possible it wasnt a monster after all, but Vee was certainly not brave enough to test that theory all on their own, at least not with their own body.

They did, however, make the approach suddenly, walking over and stalling behind Saoirse to observe the reaction the strange similarly colored, yet slightly decaying, alien had to what their vae were about to do.

One of them flew closer, buzzing right up to Zombie Girl's face in order to get her attention. The second stayed hovering in the air where it was to both keep a better view of the action, and to stay clear of possible danger. After a moment of staring at Zombie girl, now buzzing around in what would probably be taken as her personal space, the tiny creature spoke.

"Monster?" the vae squeaked out in a tiny high pitched voice. It then placed one hand forward, palm out in a gesture any human would recognize as 'stop'. "Friend or Foe?"

Vee didnt understand the possibly offensive way they were commanding their vae to speak, their verbal social skills were rather limited. Vee themselves remained behind Saoirse and Abelle, keeping a body or two between them and the 'monster' in case it was suddenly time to run. If they lost one vae it was okay, it would eventually be regrown, and the second one likely would escape her grasp and catch up to Vee while they fled. At least this was the plan right now. Not a great plan maybe, but it sounded like it would keep Vee alive.

Waited for the beach bum girl to respond, only to have a little....green...flower...person...thing buzz right up to her face, clearly trying to stop her from going anywhere if her body posture was any indication. "Monster?" It spoke, its voice actually quite cute to ZG's ears. "Friend or Foe?"

Suffice enough to say ZG was irritated. But not so much to attack or anything like that. "Or." She laughed thinking her little joke quite good if cheeky. She moved around the strange little creature and continued to walk on her own towards the bar, thoughts of juicy burgers making her forget that it would probably be a good idea to let Abelle lead the way first.

With a smile, Abelle nods and takes a few steps, watching a couple of the onlookers take a step back. They seemed relatively cautious, which was good for the beach bum, it made it easier for her to get to know the curious female. Of course, she got so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she found herself drawn back when she heard "Monster" and "friend or foe" being said. What the--

Turning her head a bit, she spies Vee, and almost does not hold back her laughter. It was ironic that the green plant thing was asking that when it itself might be considered a monster... Oh, the people that the beach brought out! She pinches the bridge of her nose, grins a little, and then notices ZG heading off towards the bar. Letting out a small yelp of surprise, she scuttles quickly after her, maneuvering around her and subtly taking the lead. "Well you're going to be quite the popular one, Miss Green," she says, since she didn't know ZG's name and wasn't sure the zombie did either. "How about I buy your food and you tell me all about yourself while we wait for the first event to start? I don't have to be over to surf for a few hours, we can get food in you, you can get used to the beach..." People can get used to seeing her, she thought to herself.

As to why Abelle was so friendly, well, it might be guilt. She knew she had magic in her, she loathed its existence, but there it was. So she felt almost bad for anyone she met that had magical abilities in any way and wanted to make sure they weren't treated badly, at least not by her. Glancing over her shoulder at Vee, she just raises a curious brow, which can easily be mistaken for "well, are you coming with us?"

Vee flicked a couple of the vae wings still in the pods attatched to their body and looked at Abelle. It was an interesting invitation. They wondered if the slender alien could stop this monster if it decided to attack....if it was a monster.

Vee walked around the legs they were hiding behind and took up a spot placing Abelle between them and Zombie Girl, and staying a relatively great distance from her even considering they would travel together.

The vae didnt return to Vee, rather they returned to Zombie girl. Each of them floated over, approaching from behind. One flew right past her left ear and took a spot next to her head, flying backwards and looking her in the face. The other one flew up behind Zombie Girl and....boldly landed on her shoulder. The tiny creature grabbed her ear for stability, and pulled themselves up to it so they could speak directly into her ear. "You not answer, are you monster?" the vae whispered into her ear. It then pushed itself back, still holding the ear for stability while the backward floating vae stared at Zombie Girl awaiting the response. Vee too, stared at her from around Abelle waiting for an answer.

ZG nodded at Abelle. "Yes. Buy food. More food. No has money." She patted herself down, tugging her suit a bit and looking inside it. "All green....no wallet..." She huffs, still very annoyed that she couldn't remember anything. There wasn't even a sense of a memory. No dejavu, no familiarity. "Just....call me....Zombie Girl. Z. Call me Z." It made sense, though she wasn't sure why.

As she walked, she finally noticed Vee, eyes opening wide, pointing. "You! Yes you! You green! Why you green!" She made to go over to Vee to get a closer look at them, but stopped one one of the Vae landed on her. "YEAAAAAH!" It....apparently freaked her out, the sudden landing and talking directly into one ear.

Z jumped, a good TEN FEET into the air, coming back down and landing with a heavy thud, shaking the earth and kicking up sand and dust everywhere.

Vee took a couple of steps back when the aggressive alien starting walking towards them, shouting about green's. Could it be this thing was a vegetarian? A growing look of concern and fear spread across Vee's face.

As soon as Zombie Girls reaction to the vae was expressed, Vee's world exploded. The vae stumbled and lost grip of the ear, only setting to flight halfway to the ground. Both vae immediately flew away from Zombie Girl before she hit the ground. The noise she made startled Vee in such a way their eyes closed a moment, and they too shouted. "Gaheee!!" Vee shouted, and without setting eyes back on Zombie Girl, Vee turned around and began running as fast as they could in the opposite direction, certain that a plant eating alien would be hot on their tail. The vae flew far faster than Vee could run, and it wouldn't take them long to catch them at their fast pace.
