Struggled and kicked, her toned green legs flailing comically. There actually wasn't a lot she could do, her strength not helping much at the moment thanks to the crushing pressure of the sand around her. For the briefest of moments, she was terrified she was going to suffocate, but after a moment of no burning sensation she figured she wasn't going to suffocate.

"HALP! AM STUCK! CAN'T MOVE ARMS!" Of course with all the sand in the way, all came out were frantic muffled noises.

So she just sort of...lay there....legs flailing. And worse yet, she couldn't quite tell, but she felt like she was starting to get a wedgie.

"Monster," Vee said in a panic, not taking their eyes off of Zombie Girl. The swung their arm out and grasped at Tyrelle's arm, grabbing it tightly once they finally locked onto it. "Eating plant," the verbal fear continued as they struggled up to their feet. They attempted a few steps back, tugging at Tyrelle's arm in an attempt to drag them along as they went. Their still attatched vae wings buzzed on and off, intermittently exchanging which one was active while the others made one quick flap every few seconds.

The crash landed vae were airborne at this point, flicking dust about as they soared quickly back towards Vee.

"We run!" Vee exclaimed, trying to drag Tyrelle off in a flee again.

Saoirse giggled quietly and went to help Z. Grabbing carefully around her waist, she pulled Z from the sand effortlessly. "Damn, you're fast," she said once they both were seated upright. "You okay?" She watched Z's expression, cautious and controlled so as not to react to the girl's appearance.

Tyrelle allowed herself to be dragged away, making sure Vee felt safe. "I'm sure it's fine," she said. "Saoirse saw her eat a bunch of burgers that are made from meat, not plants. It's okay." When they got a few more feet away, Tyrelle stopped. "Watch. If anything happens, I'll protect you."

Blinked as she was effortlessly lifted up out of the sand. "I....buaaaaaaaaaaaaagh....." There was an issue with half her face being gone. Things got stuck inside it.

As she spoke, a ton of sand gushed out of her mouth, creating a little dune at her feet. She quickly recovered, coughing a little more sand but once it stopped, she seemed find. A few scratches, but fine.

"I am Z! I am fine! Not monster! Not monster!" She huffed, looking at Vee. "Not monster! Not eat people! You people! No eat you!"

Vee stalled, still holding Tyrelle tightly with one hand. Vee launched two move vae, buzzing out of their pods on their rather quickly and taking up defensive positions in front of Vee and Tyrelle. The two that were already out arrived and also took spots in front of them, forming an almost haphazard trapezoidal formation in front of them.

"You chase, make me burger!" they shouted back at her fearfully. The vae remained with a similar fearful expression on their tiny faces, but their stance didnt show it much. They held their arms forward a bit as if they were about to fist fight someone. Certainly they weren't going to do much damage, but cut off a vae to save the Vynym was a traditional defense strategy in these situations.

"I'm glad you're okay. Any more sand in there?" She asked with a laugh and smile. Saoirse patted Z's back lightly.

Tyrelle watched the vae with interest, and just beyond, her best friend. She was laughing, but Tyrelle knew that Saoirse was good at concealing emotions, particularly fear or being uncomfortable, a skill she particularly lacked. Vee was still frightened, and Tyrelle positioned herself halfway in front of them, protective and strong. Gently, she patted Vee's hand in an attempt to comfort them. Her silver and teal ring shimmered in the sun.

With a sudden lack of maturity, Z stuck her tongue out at Vee. "Burger not made out of people! Is made out of cow! Mooo!" She attempted to push her point home by sticking two fingers by her head, mimicking cow horns. it would be hard to tell what levels of silly or cute she now possessed.

Looking at the other woman, Saoirse, she nodded. "No Sand! Feel fine. Still hungry. Want food. Want burger, hotdog. Cheese! NOT people! Not eat people! She huffed, gripping her swim suit and re adjusting it. She figured she needed to be careful. Seemed to her she was indestructible, but she doubted her suit was.

"Nice lady say pay for food, want food. Might heal face."

Vee stared at the mockery, unsure of what to make about it exactly. One thing was for sure, the silly childlike attitude they saw in Zombie Girl actually alleviated their fears somewhat. They gradually lessened their tight grip on Tyrell as they were mocked, eventually releasing it all together. Her face twisted into annoyance. They weren't positive yet Zombie girl was being truthful, but between the childish behavior and the new bodyguards, there was a bit more boldness to Vee.

"Cow!" Vee shouted at zombie girl, "You cow....I eat you!" Vee wasnt sure what a cow was, but that seemed an appropriate thing to say somehow, as they attempted to mock back using zombie girls own references.

It was then all four vae thrust their top halves forward and stuck their tongues out right back at her. After several seconds, they stood back upright, "Moo! one of them squeaked out at her. Then another one, "Moo!" The four started flying towards Zombie girl and in a moment, all four of them were mock mooing at her. They rapidly flew around her, careful to stay far enough away to avoid being grabbed, and each continued mooing at her in a high pitched squeaky voice. Intermittent giggles started in between moos after awhile, and Vee's face started to lighten up.

"Moo," Vee shouted once, a small giggle afterwards. They had no idea what Moo meant, but it sure was a fun word to say.

The girls looked at each other with curiosity, then started laughing at the two green individuals.

"What oddities!" Tyrelle said between giggles. "How did we get stuck babysitting?"

"God only knows, babe. Either way, it's fun to watch."

So far, this beach trip had been quite the adventure, but Saoirse wouldn't have it any other way, really. It looked like they were the only two real foreigners of Earth here. The Irish, with accent in addition to skin tone and red hair, did seem to stand out, but not nearly as much as these two did. Saoirse walked over to her best friend and held her hand, lending her some strength. This was going to be an eventful week, she was sure of it. Maybe they could stay longer if Tyrelle could bring back regular reports on these two to Ella.

Gasped in offense. A woman being called a cow was...well...insulting! "Am not cow!" Looking down at the top of her suit, she frowned. "Well...maybe...body look different...." She huffs, stomping one foot. Lightly of course!

"Am not cow! Am....am....woman. Lady. Person. Zombie?" She frowns and sighs. "Don't know! But am not cow! Cow is....animal. With hooves! And horns, and udder! Moo!".

With the Vae buzzing about her she flinched, swatting at them if they got too close. Lucky for the little things Z wasn't that fast.

With the vae intentionally staying back, it wasnt hard to avoid Zombie girls swats at them. 10 minutes ago it would have been frightening, but now with the shoe seemingly on the other foot, Vee was starting to have fun with this more familiar alien than the others on this planet. Coupled with Zombie Girls slow speed, the vae were quick and nimble, and seeing the slow swats, they started to move in a little closer on occasion, divebombing her with moos and giggles.

Of course that changed when she stamped her foot and said she wasnt a cow. That was probably the wrong thing to say. Instantly all the vae switched from mooing, to saying, "Cow! Cow! Cow!" with the occasional "Moo!" tossed in in between the giggles.

Vee had a big grin on their face now, thoroughly enjoying teasing the monster....or the cow, rather. With a few giggles of their own, Vee occasionally mooed at zombie girl as well.

Z growled in irritation. "Stahp!"She yelled, now trying to chase the vae and snatch them up. Fast as she could run, it was more of a straight line sort of thing. She still couldn't catch them. It resulted in Z pretty much running in a circle trying to catch the little things, telling them to stop mooing at her.

Huffing, she turns to Vee, walking up them. "You! You stop them! They your babies right? Stop it!" With all the chasing Z realized that the Vae looked a whole lot like Vee, just smaller. Her logic wasn't....that off, but not in the right direction.

"Please?"

When Vee took off and Z went after her, the beach bum didn't know what to do with them. True, she was known as a sort of peace keeper of the beach, unofficial of course, but this... Goodness. Slowly wandering over, telling anyone who asked that it was under control, it was just a couple of kids apparently. Most people who had been curious went back to their friends, trying to figure their phones out still. Those who turned them off would find that when their phones restarted, they'd be able to take photos and videos again.

Smiling slowly, Abelle just stopped a few feet from everyone. She nods to the women, Saoirse and Tyrelle, before looking at the green zombie gal and Vee. "This is highly entertaining," she said slowly. Letting out a weary sigh, she raises her voice a bit, making sure all four could hear her.

"I'm going for burgers, if you dudes wanna join me, c'mon." Mike would only keep the grill open for so long for her before he brushed her aside for real money coming in. Peering at the other two women, she raises a brow. "You two babysitting as well?" All the talk of cows was really, really making her hungry now, she was going to have to add a heaping order of onion rings to her meal.

The girls smiled at each other, still hand in hand. "Apparently," Tyrelle replied.

"Burgers sound awesome. Are you two joining us?" Saoirse asked, walking toward Abelle.

"I'm so gonna get some chipotle mayo on mine," Tyrelle said.

"What's with you and spicy crap??" Saoirse looked at her, shaking her head.

"Just because you can't handle spice, cailin ban."

Saoirse gasped. "Just cuz I'm pale! Jerk."

After a few moments of watching the green people do their thing, Abelle turns to the other women and smiles warmly at them. She tilts her head a little, and while she does notice they're holding hands, she doesn't make any comment, because it has very little to do with her in the end. Unless, of course, they wished to skip down the beach, which she might very gladly do!

"So, you two tourists here then, or are you from a beach down the way?" It's a light jest, since several beaches had some rocky shores between them and many had competitions with one another. "I'm Abelle, I'm one of the surfers in the competition today." Crossing her arms under her lack of a chest in a lazy and relaxed way, her feet are parted to show her continued laid back attitude, that broad grin on her face the cherry on top of it all.

Speaking directly to Saoirse, she says lightly, "If you wanna tan, I know of a few sunscreens you might want to try the vampires enjoy." Totally teasing, but hey, who knew there, maybe the vampires moon bathed.

"Darlin', I wish I could tan. I straight up burn," Saoirse said with a laugh. The blue in her mostly green eyes sparkled a bit. Fidgeting with the strap of her teal and black swimsuit, she glanced at Tyrelle. "We're from Ireland," she continued. "We've been living in Italy for a while now." A lavender and silver ring on her right hand briefly caught the sunlight.

"You look like you certainly know your way around here," Tyrelle said, looking at Abelle curiously. She felt more at ease one-on-one with people while Saoirse was good with crowds. She tucked an errant braid behind her ear, absently twirling the end below the leather tie.

Letting out a loud laugh, the beach bum continues to let out little chuckles and soft noises of delight at the two of them. She gives them both a quick cursory glance, not to be rude, just to see what all they had in common, such as jewelry or matching bracelets. Many best friends kept matching necklaces, and several of the jewelry crafters sold them in pairs of late to boost those sorts of sales.

"Well, it's alright if you can't tan, honestly, it took me a long time to do it properly, Gus said I burned for the first year straight." Not that she remembered it quite like that, of course. "Sounds like you two do a lot of travel, that's wicked! I just surf around here, it's home."

Nodding at Tyrelle, she lets out a small noise, like an "Ahhhh" under her breath. "Yeah, I've lived here for the last eight years or so, ever since my eighteenth birthday. I'm the youngest beach bum to own a hut here and I will give any of those old codgers a run for their money today." She raised her voice loudly and looked over her shoulder as she said the second half, laughing when one of the surfing dudes in tropical shorts, looking about as weathered as they'd get, raised a fist and made a less than polite gesture at her.

Shaking her head as she turned back to the ladies, she asks in a mildly curious way, definitely not nosing around for information for any reason that might convey interest in her home. "So how'd you hear of the events today? Internet, flier, or just passing through at the right time?" It happened more than people realized.

"Cosuil do leor deas," Tyrelle said to Saoirse. She nodded and smiled.

"She does more travelling than I do, to be honest. She's been to Mars with the new colonies," Saoirse said. Tyrelle looked down and blushed a bit.

"Weren't we trying to get away from work on this vacation?" Tyrelle teased.

"In theory, but I still think your job is cool as hell anyway." Saoirse shrugged. "I like it better here already. Way better than Greece this time of year."

"Either way, impressive that you're able to own beachfront property here. Looks like approval isn't always forthcoming." Tyrelle glanced up at the man who flipped off Abelle. "Especially from folk like that. But this place popped up in a search of secluded and uncrowded beaches. Figured we'd take a look and relax a bit."

Curious about what Tyrelle said to Saoirse, but not finding much reason to ask about it, the beach bum runs her fingers over her hair and clears her throat. "Well, I ended up taking my college fund money from my parents after a very heated argument, and I came back to the place we used to go for my birthday. One of the old lifeguards talked to the surfers and they helped me set up my shack. It's not as glamorous as it sounds, trust me, it's not even as big as a studio apartment. Mostly I have one room and it's everything. Guys like that though," she jerks her thumb over her shoulder, "are everywhere, and after the competition, he'll be at the bar with everyone else, drowning his sorrows if a 'young pup' like me wins, or guffawing and saying it was only right that someone around his age 'keeps the young dudes in place'."

The beach isn't always smiles and laughter, and during hurricane season, many of the surfers band together. It was one of the good things about their huts all being so close, the weather didn't do too much damage, and most of them didn't have a lot to lose anyway.

"Looking forward to the sand castle competition? I know it sounds kind of lame but honestly some of the sculptures are amazing. Last year someone made a mermaid and even did the scales on her tail! It was wicked." After a moment she adds, "This place is a good one to relax at, and after today's events, the beach will be mostly deserted tomorrow if you come back."

It happened all of a sudden...Zombie Girl went from looking like a terrorizing plant eating monster to looking....pitiful. The sight made Vee sad, knowing that they had been the clear cause of this. They didnt want to hurt anyone, and while they weren't sure why 'cow' and 'moo' upset ZG, they still ceased the noises immediately, their face slowly fading from the smile they had enjoyed to a sulking look of guilt.

The vae began slowly flying around ZG and returning to their pods. As they flew passed ZG, each of them spoke. "Sorry," they said as they passed her. "Sorry, Sorry, Sorry," each one said passing by her ears. Once they were in their pods attatched to Vee again, the wings surrounding the now flowering attachments slowly opened and closed nervously.

"Sorry," Vee said, "I just not want be burger. Don't eat me," they said tentatively, looking at Zombie Girl nervously still. Any sudden movement and they would likely jump again, but for now they felt safe in knowing there were others around who would help if she went vegetarian again....at least they hoped.
