[PLOT] That's no ordinary rabbit
Date & Time: All day Friday, December 14th and onward.
Location: Initiate Hold
Characters: All
Summary: The plague has taken hold and there are rampant, angry undead critters running around! Better get rid of them quick, before you attract the Scourge Horde.
Warnings: Undead attacks, localized around cute woodland critters.
[The death tolls of all the woodland animals had come around the same time. Some lasted longer than others, but for the most part, it appeared that most of the sickly animals had passed sometime in the middle of the night. The next morning, transports would awaken to find their furry friends looking...well, less than furry. Their eyes glow a sickly yellow, patches of fur fall off their body, and they continuously cry for help.
Help from whom? You?
Or the group of rampaging ghouls charging toward you?]
[ooc: Original plot post is here!. If you would like me to NPC ghoul attacks in your thread, please mark your subject line with three asterisks. (***) Otherwise, feel free to do it amongst yourselves! Please note that I won't be able to NPC threads until tomorrow afternoon.]

no subject
If Adam had any buttons, this would be one of them. To him, Billy is one of the original team members that he looks up to. And it pains him to remember how much time he spent in that underground chamber with no one but a robot and a figure in a tube for company.
"It's not the suit that makes someone a power ranger. It's what they do with the power given to them. It doesn't always mean fighting but helping the greater good. Rangers may lose their ability to morph but it doesn't mean that they are powerless. The Power still exists within them: it lives inside them until the day they die weither they want it or not."
He stops before breathing deeply and finishes with this line:
"I said this to a younger group before and I'm going to say it to you: 'Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger'."
no subject
Billy has a lot invested in the idea that he's not one of them, that his time is over, that it's his place to be distant. The widening of Billy's eyes and the drooping of his shoulders is the proof that those ideas are weakening in his mind.
When Adam reminds Billy just who he is supposed to be, Billy drops his resistance. Instead, he grazes a hand over the weapon piece strapped to his side. "When I first became a Ranger, I thought it was one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. I was afraid because I knew I wasn't as strong as the others, but I knew someone believed I could help save the world. It's like that again, I guess...except I was the one who stopped believing."
He finally looks up, sheepish. "It's hard, but I have to fight. Whatever form that takes."
no subject
But now that Adam's older, he became a bit wiser in that aspect. Learning about other teams and how some had to go through the same thing that they did...it hurt. And he'll admit that when he heard the Overdrive team quit just because they felt like they were not needed, that pissed him off. While they did come to their senses later, it was something that reminded him of Billy's own situation except with a different outcome:
Billy didn't run away.
"No, you are strong. I certainly see it."
no subject
"Thanks. I won't let the world down now. Just like I know you never did."
He approaches cautiously and nudges Adam's arm. "You think the door's holding?"
no subject
Come Hell or high water, he knew that all of Zordon's chosen, if given the choice, would stand up to protect. Suits or no suits, they're still Rangers.
Looking at the doorway, which seems pretty quiet.
"...looks like it. But it's quiet."
no subject
"Maybe we could watch the door in shifts? You probably haven't had much of a chance to settle in."
no subject
And the funny part about what he said? It's all true. If anything, just give him a hatchet and some fire and he can watch those little furry suckers burn.
no subject
They've only just reunited. That's it: Billy suddenly decides that he'll stand here silently however long he needs to. He can keep watch all night if Adam can, and he's not taking a risk. His gaze hardens.
no subject
"I'm used to it...but if you want to I'm not going to stop you."
It would make him a hypocrite if he took it on alone after telling Billy that little speech about having power. And Adam is not a man who goes back on what he says.
no subject
Billy settles against the wall and braces himself for a long night. But no matter how angry or frustrated he was before...he has to admit that Adam's presence is making his outlook on the future here a little brighter.
They'll just have a lot to iron out later on.
[Wrapping here is fine, if you like!]
