In retrospect, a cemetery wasn't the world's best place to sell cookies.
Lilian Flamel had her reasons, of course. For one, her ingredients were close at hand, and she could stash Mr. Snuggles here when she didn't need him. And she did look like an innocent little Girl Scout. It wasn't her fault that people missed the note about the cookies being made with soylent green. Every Girl Scout who made their own cookies made them with corpses, so why was she the only one who got caught over it?
Okay, the fact that she'd gloated about it last year probably had something to do with that.
Still. She was bored. Which meant it was a great moment for the dead to start rising from their graves.
They'd actually come rather suddenly. All of the sudden, Lili had heard a rumbling sound from the graveyard. She'd turned around, and her eyes widened as she saw half-decomposed hands rising from the ground. The bodies had come not soon after. Lili hadn't been fazed by the zombies, and gave a whistle. All of the sudden, a giant teddy bear burst out of the ground and pretty much stomped all of the rising zombies into a zombified pulp.
"Well that was easy," Lili stated, speaking much too soon.
Studies have indicated that "speaking too soon" causes some hole in the space-time continuum and causes something horrible to happen. Speaking too soon has been shown to have major ramifications on one's health and sanity. Saying anything that could be construed as "speaking too soon" has been shown to lower your life expectancy by 20%, and those of people around you by 50%. You would think that it would be the other way around, but that isn't quite the truth.
The fact that Lili had spoken too soon had caused this space-time hole to open up and things to get worse. She was suddenly aware of an almost squeaky gnashing sound, and looked back to where she had left her boxes of cookies near the entrance of the cemetery. There were holes in the boxes, and yet no cookies.
She put two and two together rather quickly. The dead were rising, and she used the dead to make her cookies. She had also sold around 20 boxes today. Panicked, Lili broke off into a run.
"DON'T EAT THE COOKIES!"

(OOC: LET'S TRY HER AGAIN. XD)
Because no where in the clause did it say only one type of red shirt had to exist, an eight year old girl in gothic lolita fashion was standing over the dead body of a quite unzombified human near the edge of the graveyard. He had a knife in his back, which the young girl was having a hell of a time pulling out. Of course she'd gotten it stuck in his spine. She was standing on his back and trying to yank up the dagger with both hands. Might have even been cute had she not been trying to yank a dagger out of a man she'd killed.
She blinked and looked up at the sound of screaming, which drew her attention away from the dead man and the somewhat smashed box of cookies about three feet from him. He had dropped it when he had fallen. The distraction meant that she wasn't paying attention to the guy. Then again, he was also dead. Dead people didn't need to be payed attention to. Normally. Too bad this wasn't a normal night.
Miss P felt the ground shift. Wait, ground? She was standing on a dead body here! She jerked her head back in time to see the back coming up towards her. Okay, well this was new. She clamped her hands tighter around the dagger, so by the time the undead man got to his feet she was hanging off him, her legs dangling well off the ground.
"Hey you're supposed to stay dead when I stab you!"
The now zombie turned towards the voice. Of course, he couldn't see Miss P because she was hanging from his back. So this lead to a rather amusing case of the man spinning around in a circle like a dog trying to catch his tail. There was a squeaky popping sound and the contents of the cookie box shot towards her. The man gave another shambling jerk and the dagger finally popped out of his back. Miss P hit the ground with a very hard thud and managed to crush every single cookie that had come after her. She had an annoyed look on her face.
"Is that any way to treat a lady?!"
The man reached for her and she sliced his ankles, causing him to collapse forward. She hopped back and gave an exasperated look as he began crawling towards her. The shout that had initially distracted her came again, this time much closer. She turned towards it as the man reached for her, and she brought down the heel of her dress shoe on his hand, smashing it.
"What the hell is going on?!" she shouted towards the girl she could see coming in her direction. This was not ordinary and it annoyed her very much. She expected to be informed of this kind of chaos so she could take part in it!

Lili stopped rather abruptly, the heels of her shoes digging into the ground, before she turned toward the source of the yell. She got a rather annoyed expression as she saw who it was, and gave Miss P a rather strong glare.
"Oh, it's you."
Lili had never actually met Miss P. Oh, she'd seen her around a couple times, which tended to happen when two loli psychopaths shared the same stalking grounds, but she'd never spoken to the girl. Plus, she'd heard enough about the girl to know all she needed to know. Lili wasn't very fond of her, mainly because Miss P tended to kill potential clientele before Lili could herself. All of this added up to a really annoyed Lili.
Lili looked down at the crawling zombie whose hand Miss P had smashed, and swore under her breath. That was one of the men she'd managed to sell a box to today, though Lili didn't see any zombie cookies anywhere. She ran forward and jumped on the zombie's head, crushing in his skull.
"Okay, normally I'd kill you, but today I'm gonna make an exception 'cause of an imminent zombie threat," Lili said. "I dunno why, but the dead are risin', and I kinda made my cookies with dead bodies. Luckily, today's a slow day, so I don't think too many living dead cookies are out there, but that means that we've got zombie tagalongs and snickerdoodles running around."
She stepped off of the zombie's head and wiped the brains off of her shoes in the grass. She looked a bit disgusted. She liked these shoes, dammit.

On the opposite end of the cemetery, just outside its borders, a figure sat atop a hill, almost as still as a statue; even his cape was not disturbed by the windless night, pooling around him protectively. His eyes were trained to the skies above, as it was an unusually clear night, optimal for stargazing, and, well, he couldn't pass such an opportunity up. And if he had to go to an area that few people would visit, even a cemetery, to get some peace and quiet, then, so be it. He was that determined to escape such madness for even a little while.
He had gotten into a fair number of scraps in his time on this island so far, sent down for reasons he didn't know. He wouldn't usually question his higher authority, but he had to admit he was... confused as to why he was sent here in the first place. At first he thought it was for the Nest Jewel struggle... which was done and over with. So why wasn't he sent back when that was finished? Was there more he had to do here?
Or... had they finally...?
His self-reflecting was rudely inturrupted at a soft little "nyarm-nyarm-norm-nom-nom-nom" and a small tug from behind. He blinked, turned around slowly, and saw a little round nouget--with teeth--chewing on the end of his cape.
A wooden brow raised at the strange scene. "What in the..."

(OOC: HOLY FUCK GENO?! XD Well, I guess we couldn't have nothing but villain characters forever, right? XD)
Miss P blinked. Zombies were running around? Really? It wasn't that she was unfamiliar with the idea or a lot of the scientific reasons why it could happen (let alone the paranormal). Its just that aside from being yanked to the Island and a few encounters she tended to pretend never happened... ah hell, magic was real. She wasn't blind to the annoyance Lili was expressing, but her face was plastered in a smile that would have been cute if it weren't for her eyes.
She pretty much skipped over next to Lili and then leaned forward, "Hey hey, does that mean we get to kill them? And we don't even have to worry about getting in trouble? Oooh, I hope there are lots!"
She turned her head without warning to a faint sound to her left. There was something standing on a hill there? Miss P jumped back and clapped her hands. Her giggling was very adorable, fitting with her little girl appearance. She looked at Lili with a big grin and was practically hopping up and down as she pointed.
"Ooh ooh, I think I see something we can kill!"

"....hey. Hey. Get off." Geno flicked at the tiny pastry several times before it screeched, flipped over onto its back, and became still. The doll stared at the once-alive cookie... or was it alive anyway? It left an unpleasently green residue on his cape and was currently stewing in a puddle of the same goop. Repulsed, Geno hopped to his feet and moved away from the unnerving little creature, watching warily to see if it would get back up again.
Before he even had a chance to come up with any theory as to what in the stars' name this was, Geno straightened up and turned towards the squealing, giggling voice. A girl.
With a knife.
"Ooh ooh, I think I see something we can kill!"
Geno internally groaned. Today was just not his day.

Lili continued to give Miss P an annoyed look. "You can't kill people if all the people who are reproducin' and makin' more people are already zombies too! Geez!"
However, it was around the time Lili said this that Miss P noticed Geno, and the focus of things shifted to the strange clothed doll sitting on a hill just outside the cemetery.
"You can't kill something that isn't alive, stupid!" Lili said. She smacked Miss P as she said that. Even from here, she could tell Geno was a doll. Though that probably had something to do with the fact that Lili was an artificial being (at least she was now, anyways) herself. She could pick out that uncanny valley quality from a mile away.
"If you're gonna kill things, then go kill more zombies! I have more zombie cookies to crush!" Lili stuck her tongue out at Miss P before running off toward Geno. By the time she reached him, she'd shifted in to her cute girl scout facade.
"Heey! Mr. Cloaky-guy! You look like a nice hero! Could you please help me?" Lili called. "My cookies came to life, and now they're wreaking havoc and biting people everywhere!"

Miss P gave an annoyed pout at the first shout. She wasn't stupid! She could just kill them and then smash their heads in! Or maybe put some explosives, people sure looked funny when their heads blew up... she distracted herself with Geno right after.
She intended on replying to Lili along the lines of the distinction between killing and destroying was silly to focus on when she was smacked. Miss P blinked in surprise just because she had not seen that coming. She frowned and went to tackle Lili, but by the time she launched the "cute girl scout" had moved away. She managed to roll with what should have been a face plant and got up with dirt and a bit of blood covering the front of her dress. Man, it was such a pain to clean that kind of thing!
She yanked out two daggers from who knows where. Anyone standing behind her would have managed an eight year old panty shot. She gave a dark smile and chuckled and her eyes indicated that about fifty million things were going through her head. She then threw both daggers, hopping up to adjust the angle on the second one. One was aimed for Lili's pant-like pieces, the other for one of her shoes but not a foot. The shoe would trip her in an obvious fashion. The trajectory and speed of the other one would probably force a faceplant by dragging her down to the ground via her pants.

Geno clearly caught the girl scout's first comment, and felt himself boiling a little internally. Who was she to judge him!? He was alive alright! Really! Just because he was made of inorganic wood...
He shook his head and scoffed, letting it go. That was a topic he did not enjoy thinking about. It was too complicated, and now was hardly the time for such self-relfecting.
He regarded Lili with an apathetic glare, hardly fooled by her facade. It was still kinda funny to see the sociopathic girl fall flat on her face behind her, though, so that made up for the blow to his pride.
"You don't say," he muttered, looking down towards the zombie-cookie, as it was now established to be. Still... if what she said was true, that meant others were in trouble. And even if she had been rude, she didn't look like the type to lie. In fact, she seemed rather straight-forward about the situation.
Geno sighed.
"Alright, yes, I'll... be glad to help," he coughed. "Who did you sell your cookies to? Any clue of where they might be?"
Before she could answer, he spotted Miss P in her peripheral, eyes widening at the flash of daggers flying towards them. Specifically Lili. "GH-LOOK OUT!!"

Unfortunately for Lili, the yell came too late for her to dodge, something she became very aware of as a dagger caught her shoe and tripped her. And then another dagger caught on her socks and forced her to the ground. She landed rather roughly in a patch of mud, and when she looked back at Miss P, there was a strong glare on her face. She pulled the daggers from her clothing and stood up, turning toward Miss P and pointing at her as she did so.
"Okay, I've had it up to here with you, Missy Puke!" Lili screamed. She punctuated each syllable with a shake of her hand. She cupped her hands around her mouth. "MR. SNUGGLES!"
The ground began to shake, and a loud stomping sound could be heard in the distance to their left from a large grove of trees. A large stuffed bear, the same one Lili had used earlier to stomp several zombies to death, crashed through the trees and just stared down at the three of them.
"Forget about stomping cookies and kill her!" Lili screamed. "Kill her, kill her, kill her! And kill Mr. Cloaky over there too, he's an eyesore!"

The next reaction belied the fact that she had just thrown two daggers at Lili. Ones that had hit their mark and caused a rather gleeful smile on the part of Miss P. That next reaction was that of a little girl and was cuter than hell. Would have been downright indescribably adorable had she not just thrown two daggers at Lili. Or if "Mr. Snuggles" was slightly less... frightening looking. One could compare said reaction to that of a fangirl, really...
"Oh my god its so cyuuute!!!" Miss P squealed, probably hurting a few ears in the process, "I want to take it home right now!" She looked at Lili, "Can it really kill things? Can it really really truly try to kill me? Its ADORABLE!"
That isn't to say she couldn't react. In fact, if the giant teddy bear tried to stomp her she'd probably be latching onto its leg in a hug. She'd attempt to jump onto its arm if it tried to smash her with its "fists" as it were. Lili was pissed, but Miss P was just having a ball. Screw zombies, Giant Teddy Bears of Doomtm were WAY cooler.

Geno was terribly tempted to laugh at the name 'Mr. Snuggles,' and the tiniest of chuckles would have bubbled out, had not the ground violently shake it from him. He grimaced as the falling trees, turning away defensively, but when the shaking ceased, he slowly, slowly, turned back. And looked up.
His expression upon seeing the giant, sentient teddy would be best described as the expression he wore when the giant-as-fuck Bom-omb had landed in Moleville Mines on top of the enemy they had been fighting---and was then lit.
Utter confusion, a delayed realization, and a gradual climb of innate terror.
Mr. Snuggles took a lumbering step. Geno was frozen. Mr. Snuggles took another step. Geno staggered back, almost tripping over his feet. With one more step signifying that yes, the Giant Teddy Bear of Doom was out to kill him, yes, him, Geno finally got the hint to let out a horrified scream.

At Geno's scream, Lili gave a high pitched laugh and jumped onto Mr. Snuggles' back. She seemed to have forgotten about the zombie cookies, focusing only on killing Geno and Miss P.
Mr. Snuggles went after Miss P first, and indeed, he tried to squish her under his palm, but somehow Miss P actually dodged and then clinged onto Mr. Snuggles'. You could have seen Lili's veins popping if she actually had any. She gave a scream and ripped out a couple stitches in the back of Mr. Snuggles head before reaching into the fluff on the inside of him. She drew her arm out rather forcefully, and grasped in her arm was what looked almost like the kind of staff a magical girl would use.
"Fine! I'll kill you myself!" Lili screamed, and actually started running down Mr. Snuggles' arm. She swung the staff out at Miss P, using it in a way no magical girl would: for bashing someone's skull in. Then again, Lili wasn't really caring about technicalities at this point and was more concerned with bashing some skulls in.
This wasn't to mean that Mr. Snuggles had forgotten about Geno. Quite the opposite, in fact, as he ran after Geno while still holdng his arm steady so Lili and Miss P wouldn't fall off.

Miss P was clutched onto Mr. Snuggles' "paw" as it were with both her hands clutched onto his fur. As he lifted up his arm again her legs shook back and forth a bit. She pulled up with one hand and managed to get onto a much more stable position as Lili screeched at her. She hopped up and spun her arms as pinwheels for balance as Lili yanked her wand out of Mr. Snuggles and then proceeded to run down at her.
There was a moment of surprise at the frilly pink and gold and cookie topped that Lili was brandishing. She pulled out two more daggers, lending more questions as to where exactly she kept the stupid things. When Lili swung at her wand, Miss P drove one dagger into Mr. Snuggle's arm and actually used it as an anchor to sort of side-cartwheel out of the way of the attack.
Of course, the stuffed body of Mr. Snuggles meant that the dagger couldn't hold as well as it otherwise would. There was a bit of a slip as Miss P rolled up to the other side as Mr. Snuggles' fabric gave. Miss P managed to roll and hop to her feet as the dagger she'd used as an anchor went flying. She tried to pin Lili with the dagger she still had by her shoe.
Meanwhile, the dagger that had gone flying headed straight for Geno. It didn't look like it would hit him, but if he didn't move anyways it would probably end up catching his cloak and pin him to the ground. At least Mr. Snuggles was more concerned with Lili and Miss P at the moment...

Well, it was pretty darn obvious that Geno took this all as a sign to start running. Very fast. Well, I mean, logically a Geno Flash or even Blast might've easily taken care of them, but the star spirit's mindset was hardly in battle mode. It seemed odd for the Guardian to lose all sense of fighting instinct, but there really is none to speak of when your opponent is a giant teddy bear; odds are usually forsaken and the giant teddy bear automatically wins.
So, he hightailed it, hardly noticing and hardly caring about the epic brawl between Lili and Miss P above, hardly having the guts to even look back. His swiftness got him a decent distance ahead, more than he was aware of, before the dagger caught on the end of his cape and dived into the ground. He gagged at the sudden brake applied to his collar before he fell flat on his back, momentarily stunned.
