(lovely moodboard by @serena-does-moodboards)

Okay. Uh, hello. I'm Oro Kagura.

I'm a woodworker, although I do also work with crystal (not often). I have a shop in the suburbs of New York. You may see me with a cart in the streets.

I'm nineteen years old and Japanese-American. My parents live upstate, but I visit them every few months.

A friend of mine convinced me to make this blog... her name's Laurya. Super cool, a friend of my grandfather's.

I'm a mutant. My power is dendrokinesis, feel free to ask questions, I guess.

Um... that's it, I think. Feel free to say hi, or order some stuff. Like I said, I work with wood and crystal.

Name: Oro Joseph Kagura

Age: 19

Star sign: Virgo

Hair color: Black (with some brown streaks but just barely visible)

Eye color: Brown

Height: 5'6"

A few weeks after the zombie situation when they’d decided to finally move Leona in, Oro came by after the shop closed to find Leona loading the last few of her boxes into her car, her puppy hopping around her feet

@leona-gaia

He came up behind her and tapped her shoulder, then kissed her temple on the other side, smiling. "Hey, beautiful."

[leona-gaia]

Leona lit up, smiling as she turned to kiss him softly. “Hey pretty boy, come to help me huh?”

[i-like-woodworking]

He smiled into the kiss, then grabbed a box. "Yep. At your service, madam."

[leona-gaia]

She grinned, pecking his cheek as she finished loading the trunk. “I’m glad that I get to live with you, my love”

[i-like-woodworking]

"Me too." He set the last box in. "It'll be great. We can cook together with Peggy and cuddle and dance every night."

[leona-gaia]

She smiled, pushing the door shut. “And you can make sure I actually sleep sometimes”

[i-like-woodworking]

"Absolutely. And you can make sure I don't drive myself mad with anxiety." He smiled.

[leona-gaia]

She kissed his nose. “Exactly”

[i-like-woodworking]

He grinned. "Alright, let's get this show on the road."

[i-like-woodworking]

[incoming call from: Oro Kagura]

[leona-gaia]

Leona but her lip, hand on the wheel still.

[call accepted]

[i-like-woodworking]

Leona! Are you okay? Where are you?

[leona-gaia]

I’m safe, a mile from your house — what about you? Are you okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm fine, Peggy and I are holed up inside.

[leona-gaia]

Good. What can you tell me about whatever those creatures are?

[i-like-woodworking]

They are literally zombies. I don't know how else to describe them. Laurya came by earlier and gave me a rundown. They're just zombies. The cops have encouraged people to board up windows and stay indoors, and not to get bit.

[leona-gaia]

…I’m going to put you on hold, I have to call in some people

As in you’re, uh. About to meet my entire maternal line going back four generations

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm

Sorry

Uh what

[leona-gaia]

So uh. Remember how I’ve mentioned the Daughters of Alexandria? And how I see ghosts and mention soul shit?

Our purpose is to work with souls. But more specifically, the management of the undead. I think it’s a mix of inhumans and mutants but genetically we’re basically our own thing and… it’s passed down maternally. The only way it goes to men is if they’re trans and even then Testosterone supplements have been known to effect it but…

Zombies? This is our literal purpose

[i-like-woodworking]

okay i know all that but like

How soon?? Do I have to clean the house??? Should i put something nicer on????

[leona-gaia]

You don’t?! Baby you’re getting attacked by Zombies, get yourself and your sister to a closet or somewhere secluded but near windows and stay there, and bring blankets and a book to help her stay calmer

[i-like-woodworking]

Well yeah but all the windows are boarded up and the door is triple locked

We're fine but like

Your family???? Is coming????

[leona-gaia]

Good, I love you so much

Don’t worry, my grandma will love you and so will my Gigi, if they like you mom is forced to be civil and everyone else will adore you

Alwo, uh… I’m not sure how many of them actually know about us? I don’t keep it from them! Just a lot of them aren’t on social media nor do I talk to them more than once a year… last time I saw half of them was two months before we met at a wedding

[i-like-woodworking]

Okay okay I'm gonna be chill about it- *muffled* PEGGY HELP *back to normal* alright I love you stay safe okay?

[leona-gaia]

*laughs* don’t worry, I’ll get them all out to lunch first and we can take Peggy, she’s gonna adore them and we’ll buy you an hour. I’ll say you have to do an inventory on the store to make sure it’s all still there and file insurance before it gets backed up

[i-like-woodworking]

Oh thank god, you're a lifesaver- how the hell are you going to get lunch when there's a literal zombie apocolypse- never mind- I love you so much

[leona-gaia]

Love you too, stay safe

*twenty minutes later he can hear the sound of bodies falling, and Leona shouting*

[i-like-woodworking]

*peeks out between the boards on the windows*

[leona-gaia]

*Leona is standing in a mix of her normal clothing and what seems to be shimmering chainmail, eyes and hands glowing with silvery lavender magic while shouting with several women, all of whom have a resemblance to her and are wielding the same magic, in all different stages of life*

[i-like-woodworking]

holy shit- *grinning, starts rushing around, trying to get things somewhat in order*

[leona-gaia]

*she grins at the movement through the boards before returning and it looks like she’s sucking the un-life from the zombies without even trying, spirits and life forces swirling around her*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes back to the window, then turns and runs up the stairs to the roof and lays down, facing the edge, starts growing shoots out of the ground to wrap around zombies' feet*

[leona-gaia]

*locks eyes with him and mouths something, the now unmoving zombies incredibly quickly cleared now, it seems to work better with them held in place*

[i-like-woodworking]

*has no fucking clue what she said but it seems to be working, continues to grow the shoots*

[leona-gaia]

*finally the area clears and as they spread out Leona makes a beeline to check on him, vaulting onto the roof*

[i-like-woodworking]

Hey! That was insane! *stands up and yanks her into a hug, then pulls back* you're okay, right?

[leona-gaia]

*hugs him back even tighter, kissing him* I’m okay, don’t worry. Actually I feel amazing, like literally exploding in energy

[i-like-woodworking]

*grins* Awesome. I feel pretty decent, my brain's a little fuzzy though. But in a good way? I dunno. I'm glad you're okay.

[leona-gaia]

Yeah, power surges can be like that

Thank god you’re okay too, are you hurt? *holding his face and checking for injuries, protective over him in the sweetest way*

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm okay, I was pretty safe up on the roof.

[leona-gaia]

I know… I trust you and All but holy shit… okay good…

And Peggy? Is she okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

Yeah, she's safe. Come on, let's go back down, I'll open the door.

[leona-gaia]

*nods and climbs down quickly*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes down into the house and opens the door*

[leona-gaia]

*steps inside, quickly checking for any signs of zombies or danger within, before making a beeline for Peggy*

[i-like-woodworking]

*smiles then promptly steps aside while several other women walk in*

[leona-gaia]

*returns with Peggy tucked under her arm and talking softly, leaning against Oro with Peggy sheltered by them both*

Oro, meet my Aunt Deka, Aunt Rose, and Aunt Marian, my Gigi — great-grandmother — and… my mother, Etta *fidgets* everyone, this… this is my boyfriend, Oro, and his little sister Peggy

[i-like-woodworking]

*immediately starts going around and shaking hands, lowkey in customer service mode but freaking out inside*

[leona-gaia]

*stays by his side, keeping it smooth and quick as a few women are called to other locations so it’s just one aunt, her great-grandmother and mother, her mother occupied by Peggy*

*leans toward him* you can do this my love, they don’t bite. Well, Auntie Deka doesn’t

[i-like-woodworking]

*smiles slightly nervously* Okay. Okay. Thanks. *squeezes her hand*

[leona-gaia]

*kisses him gently, sitting down on a loveseat in the living room so she can keep him close as her family steps in*

{Deka} So, this is the boy you’ve been talking about non-stop, Lea?

Yes Auntie, this is my boyfriend *shy*

I’m Deka, Oro. It’s good to meet

@i-like-woodworking

[i-like-woodworking]

Nice to meet you too, I've heard good things about you.

[leona-gaia]

Ah, she talks about me now? Last I heard I was more fun to “spring on people as a scare”

Deeekkkkaaaa I was six!!

[i-like-woodworking]

*laughs* When I was six, I was telling my dad that the frogs in the yard were too lonely and needed a friend. Awful excuse to just pet frogs.

[leona-gaia]

Hey, if it worked

Leona used to have a pet toad she wasn’t allowed to have, she kept it in her bottom drawer and let it hop around when I wasn’t looking outside

[i-like-woodworking]

Really? I didn't know that.

*beep* Oro seriously I need- fuck my connection is- *beep*

*beep* okay Oro I’m driving give me three minutes, I know I haven’t had time and we haven’t really gotten into this but anything undead or with spirits is literally my bloodline’s whole reasoning for existence- *beep*

*beep* okay I’m here baby, I love you okay, I’m camped out a few miles away trying to see, text me!!!!! *beep*

[i-like-woodworking]

[incoming call from: Oro Kagura]

[leona-gaia]

Leona but her lip, hand on the wheel still.

[call accepted]

[i-like-woodworking]

Leona! Are you okay? Where are you?

[leona-gaia]

I’m safe, a mile from your house — what about you? Are you okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm fine, Peggy and I are holed up inside.

[leona-gaia]

Good. What can you tell me about whatever those creatures are?

[i-like-woodworking]

They are literally zombies. I don't know how else to describe them. Laurya came by earlier and gave me a rundown. They're just zombies. The cops have encouraged people to board up windows and stay indoors, and not to get bit.

[leona-gaia]

…I’m going to put you on hold, I have to call in some people

As in you’re, uh. About to meet my entire maternal line going back four generations

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm

Sorry

Uh what

[leona-gaia]

So uh. Remember how I’ve mentioned the Daughters of Alexandria? And how I see ghosts and mention soul shit?

Our purpose is to work with souls. But more specifically, the management of the undead. I think it’s a mix of inhumans and mutants but genetically we’re basically our own thing and… it’s passed down maternally. The only way it goes to men is if they’re trans and even then Testosterone supplements have been known to effect it but…

Zombies? This is our literal purpose

[i-like-woodworking]

okay i know all that but like

How soon?? Do I have to clean the house??? Should i put something nicer on????

[leona-gaia]

You don’t?! Baby you’re getting attacked by Zombies, get yourself and your sister to a closet or somewhere secluded but near windows and stay there, and bring blankets and a book to help her stay calmer

[i-like-woodworking]

Well yeah but all the windows are boarded up and the door is triple locked

We're fine but like

Your family???? Is coming????

[leona-gaia]

Good, I love you so much

Don’t worry, my grandma will love you and so will my Gigi, if they like you mom is forced to be civil and everyone else will adore you

Alwo, uh… I’m not sure how many of them actually know about us? I don’t keep it from them! Just a lot of them aren’t on social media nor do I talk to them more than once a year… last time I saw half of them was two months before we met at a wedding

[i-like-woodworking]

Okay okay I'm gonna be chill about it- *muffled* PEGGY HELP *back to normal* alright I love you stay safe okay?

[leona-gaia]

*laughs* don’t worry, I’ll get them all out to lunch first and we can take Peggy, she’s gonna adore them and we’ll buy you an hour. I’ll say you have to do an inventory on the store to make sure it’s all still there and file insurance before it gets backed up

[i-like-woodworking]

Oh thank god, you're a lifesaver- how the hell are you going to get lunch when there's a literal zombie apocolypse- never mind- I love you so much

[leona-gaia]

Love you too, stay safe

*twenty minutes later he can hear the sound of bodies falling, and Leona shouting*

[i-like-woodworking]

*peeks out between the boards on the windows*

[leona-gaia]

*Leona is standing in a mix of her normal clothing and what seems to be shimmering chainmail, eyes and hands glowing with silvery lavender magic while shouting with several women, all of whom have a resemblance to her and are wielding the same magic, in all different stages of life*

[i-like-woodworking]

holy shit- *grinning, starts rushing around, trying to get things somewhat in order*

[leona-gaia]

*she grins at the movement through the boards before returning and it looks like she’s sucking the un-life from the zombies without even trying, spirits and life forces swirling around her*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes back to the window, then turns and runs up the stairs to the roof and lays down, facing the edge, starts growing shoots out of the ground to wrap around zombies' feet*

[leona-gaia]

*locks eyes with him and mouths something, the now unmoving zombies incredibly quickly cleared now, it seems to work better with them held in place*

[i-like-woodworking]

*has no fucking clue what she said but it seems to be working, continues to grow the shoots*

[leona-gaia]

*finally the area clears and as they spread out Leona makes a beeline to check on him, vaulting onto the roof*

[i-like-woodworking]

Hey! That was insane! *stands up and yanks her into a hug, then pulls back* you're okay, right?

[leona-gaia]

*hugs him back even tighter, kissing him* I’m okay, don’t worry. Actually I feel amazing, like literally exploding in energy

[i-like-woodworking]

*grins* Awesome. I feel pretty decent, my brain's a little fuzzy though. But in a good way? I dunno. I'm glad you're okay.

[leona-gaia]

Yeah, power surges can be like that

Thank god you’re okay too, are you hurt? *holding his face and checking for injuries, protective over him in the sweetest way*

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm okay, I was pretty safe up on the roof.

[leona-gaia]

I know… I trust you and All but holy shit… okay good…

And Peggy? Is she okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

Yeah, she's safe. Come on, let's go back down, I'll open the door.

[leona-gaia]

*nods and climbs down quickly*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes down into the house and opens the door*

[leona-gaia]

*steps inside, quickly checking for any signs of zombies or danger within, before making a beeline for Peggy*

[i-like-woodworking]

*smiles then promptly steps aside while several other women walk in*

[leona-gaia]

*returns with Peggy tucked under her arm and talking softly, leaning against Oro with Peggy sheltered by them both*

Oro, meet my Aunt Deka, Aunt Rose, and Aunt Marian, my Gigi — great-grandmother — and… my mother, Etta *fidgets* everyone, this… this is my boyfriend, Oro, and his little sister Peggy

[i-like-woodworking]

*immediately starts going around and shaking hands, lowkey in customer service mode but freaking out inside*

[leona-gaia]

*stays by his side, keeping it smooth and quick as a few women are called to other locations so it’s just one aunt, her great-grandmother and mother, her mother occupied by Peggy*

*leans toward him* you can do this my love, they don’t bite. Well, Auntie Deka doesn’t

[i-like-woodworking]

*smiles slightly nervously* Okay. Okay. Thanks. *squeezes her hand*

*laughs* don’t worry, I’ll get them all out to lunch first and we can take Peggy, she’s gonna adore them and we’ll buy you an hour. I’ll say you have to do an inventory on the store to make sure it’s all still there and file insurance before it gets backed up

[i-like-woodworking]

Oh thank god, you're a lifesaver- how the hell are you going to get lunch when there's a literal zombie apocolypse- never mind- I love you so much

[leona-gaia]

Love you too, stay safe

*twenty minutes later he can hear the sound of bodies falling, and Leona shouting*

[i-like-woodworking]

*peeks out between the boards on the windows*

[leona-gaia]

*Leona is standing in a mix of her normal clothing and what seems to be shimmering chainmail, eyes and hands glowing with silvery lavender magic while shouting with several women, all of whom have a resemblance to her and are wielding the same magic, in all different stages of life*

[i-like-woodworking]

holy shit- *grinning, starts rushing around, trying to get things somewhat in order*

[leona-gaia]

*she grins at the movement through the boards before returning and it looks like she’s sucking the un-life from the zombies without even trying, spirits and life forces swirling around her*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes back to the window, then turns and runs up the stairs to the roof and lays down, facing the edge, starts growing shoots out of the ground to wrap around zombies' feet*

[leona-gaia]

*locks eyes with him and mouths something, the now unmoving zombies incredibly quickly cleared now, it seems to work better with them held in place*

[i-like-woodworking]

*has no fucking clue what she said but it seems to be working, continues to grow the shoots*

[leona-gaia]

*finally the area clears and as they spread out Leona makes a beeline to check on him, vaulting onto the roof*

[i-like-woodworking]

Hey! That was insane! *stands up and yanks her into a hug, then pulls back* you're okay, right?

[leona-gaia]

*hugs him back even tighter, kissing him* I’m okay, don’t worry. Actually I feel amazing, like literally exploding in energy

[i-like-woodworking]

*grins* Awesome. I feel pretty decent, my brain's a little fuzzy though. But in a good way? I dunno. I'm glad you're okay.

[leona-gaia]

Yeah, power surges can be like that

Thank god you’re okay too, are you hurt? *holding his face and checking for injuries, protective over him in the sweetest way*

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm okay, I was pretty safe up on the roof.

[leona-gaia]

I know… I trust you and All but holy shit… okay good…

And Peggy? Is she okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

Yeah, she's safe. Come on, let's go back down, I'll open the door.

[leona-gaia]

*nods and climbs down quickly*

[i-like-woodworking]

*goes down into the house and opens the door*

[leona-gaia]

@i-like-woodworking

[you have: three missed calls from Leona Gaia]

*beep* Oro seriously I need- fuck my connection is- *beep*

-

*beep* okay Oro I’m driving give me three minutes, I know I haven’t had time and we haven’t really gotten into this but anything undead or with spirits is literally my bloodline’s whole reasoning for existence- *beep*

-

*beep* okay I’m here baby, I love you okay, I’m camped out a few miles away trying to see, text me!!!!! *beep*

[i-like-woodworking]

[incoming call from: Oro Kagura]

[leona-gaia]

Leona but her lip, hand on the wheel still.

[call accepted]

[i-like-woodworking]

Leona! Are you okay? Where are you?

[leona-gaia]

I’m safe, a mile from your house — what about you? Are you okay?

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm fine, Peggy and I are holed up inside.

[leona-gaia]

Good. What can you tell me about whatever those creatures are?

[i-like-woodworking]

They are literally zombies. I don't know how else to describe them. Laurya came by earlier and gave me a rundown. They're just zombies. The cops have encouraged people to board up windows and stay indoors, and not to get bit.

[leona-gaia]

…I’m going to put you on hold, I have to call in some people

As in you’re, uh. About to meet my entire maternal line going back four generations

[i-like-woodworking]

I'm

Sorry

Uh what

[leona-gaia]

So uh. Remember how I’ve mentioned the Daughters of Alexandria? And how I see ghosts and mention soul shit?

Our purpose is to work with souls. But more specifically, the management of the undead. I think it’s a mix of inhumans and mutants but genetically we’re basically our own thing and… it’s passed down maternally. The only way it goes to men is if they’re trans and even then Testosterone supplements have been known to effect it but…

Zombies? This is our literal purpose

[i-like-woodworking]

okay i know all that but like

How soon?? Do I have to clean the house??? Should i put something nicer on????

[leona-gaia]

You don’t?! Baby you’re getting attacked by Zombies, get yourself and your sister to a closet or somewhere secluded but near windows and stay there, and bring blankets and a book to help her stay calmer

[i-like-woodworking]

Well yeah but all the windows are boarded up and the door is triple locked

We're fine but like

Your family???? Is coming????

[leona-gaia]

Good, I love you so much

Don’t worry, my grandma will love you and so will my Gigi, if they like you mom is forced to be civil and everyone else will adore you

Alwo, uh… I’m not sure how many of them actually know about us? I don’t keep it from them! Just a lot of them aren’t on social media nor do I talk to them more than once a year… last time I saw half of them was two months before we met at a wedding

[i-like-woodworking]

Okay okay I'm gonna be chill about it- *muffled* PEGGY HELP *back to normal* alright I love you stay safe okay?
