Closed RP: Zombie AU: If its just us...
((A zombie AU role play between @monarchspunchingbag and @dededeofthestars.))
-The mollusk had noticed something happening around Dreamland. Of course this wasn’t thanks to a fortunate early broadcast. After all most of what anyone watched in Cappy Town was channel Dedede. This was of course because they had no other channels available. The only one that was able to view other channels was his majesty himself. This was because he had previously been able to receive other channels illegally. Then again. If you were King Dedede you would see everything as legal. After all he did like to claim he was the real ruler of Dreamland.
Therefore, Cappy town had no warning what was coming their way. Now Escargoon first started noticing that something was up when he saw the people of Cappy Town or known else where as Pupu village, starting to fall ill seemingly for no reason. It certainly wasn’t cold out and it wasn’t the normal type of ill. Far from a common cold. They all smelt dead. Not even as a metaphor. In addition to this they all began to grow bitey.
Of course the snail put it down to a disease that only cappys could obtain. But apparently this wasn’t true.
It wasn’t long before he noticed that the Waddle Dees were beginning to look odd coloured and were starting to follow him around in a horrible manner as he tried to do his chores. Of course he didn’t want them to get close to him. He saw what happened if you were bitten by someone with this odd colouration.
It was mere hours before hundred of the soldiers within the castle were in the same poor condition, causing the shelled creature to panic when they all came his way. Now the shelled creature began to sprint, as fast as he could. He didn’t know why but he always tried to seek comfort from his majesty. Even if it wasn’t always there.-
“Sire, sire, sire!”-He began to scream bloody murder, drumming on the door to the king’s bedroom.-”Help me! Let me in! I gotta’ come in.”-The door was of course open but for a few moments Escargon had lost his head.
He threw the doors open and then slammed them firmly shut. Before rushing and diving under the king’s quilts.-”There coming! Oh sire its terrible.”-Tears actually began to form in his eyes. Maybe the Dees were useless, but they were also loved deep down.-

-Escargoon stared up at Dedede in dismay. The quilts were still over his shell as his tearful eyes pleaded for help. He knew it was stupid to try and seek comfort in his majesty but very often the lavender assistant, especially managed to find some comfort in the other male. Even if sometimes it was rewarded with a punch to his stalks.
When his highness went to hit the younger male he ducked and even yelped, but thankfully the king hadn’t gone through with it.-
“It’s the Waddle Dees! They’re they’re...”-A tear fell down his stalk and onto his face, preventing him from speaking. He chocked on a sob. How pathetic. He of all people was getting upset about those useless guards.
Finally the male was able to spit it out.-”The Waddle Dees are- they’re sick. I don’t know how to cure them, they just keep trying to take a piece outta’ of me!”-His eyes leaked. He had an idea that the penguin was going to was probably going to make a joke about him being a snail now. But this was serious. Not even Escargon was going to crack a joke at this desperate time. Their lives were on the line.-
“They’re as green as a cucumber.”-Of course a simile was not too far though. After all it was a part of his dialect.-
“Oh your highness. What’re we going to do?! They’re going to break in and when they do, they’re going to eat us like tonight's super.”-His muscles pulled down into a frown.-
