Freelance Zombie: Indulgences
Something for @monsterbride99
Max: (sighing wistfully at the lunch date he had the other day with Sam) That was the most filling and romantic date with Sam I ever had~
Three Familiar Voices: Yeah~
[Max turns to see three familiar vices laying down next to each other and sighing with heart eyes]
Max: Gah! Oh, hey guys! What brings you three here again?
Seine: We sensed your desires the other day that something romantic happened~ Spill the details!
Max: Well, there’s this annoying fan of ours who kept stalking us and since we’re zombies, I figured we could make something out of it if ya catch my- (he suddenly coughs a bit before spitting out a pair of glasses)
[All three vices stare and blush before cheering. Hefty the rag doll was glowing, Cassius the Werewolf grew to 9 feet tall and howled, and Seine purred and clapped. Just then, a certain orange lagomorph came in, frowning.]
Pumpkin: (groans) Not again! How many times have I told you three not to sneak into other dimensions?
Hefty: But Pumpkin Pie, Zombie Max ate a guy with Sam!
[Pumpkin stopped then went to Max and put a hand to his shoulder. His green eyes turn into Max’s dull red zombie ones and he freezes… then blushes as roses bloom then wilt. His eyes turn back to green.]
Pumpkin: (clearing his throat) As satisfying and intimate as that was… wouldn’t there be consequences to doing that no matter who the person is?
Max: Like what?
[Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. All four vices panic and fall down, holding still like plushies. Zombie Sam comes in.]
Sam: Hey, Little Buddy! We just got a call from the Commissioner about a missing person. (He notices the vices) Aww, what adorable monster plushies of yourself, Max! The giant one looks real fluffy like a werewolf. (He pats Cash’s belly and looks up) It even has your smile!
Max: (laughing nervously) Yup! I got them made just for you. Anyway, who’s missing?
Sam: Lorne. Apparently, his mother is alive and worried sick when he didn’t call her. I’m gonna see if I can stall for more time.
[Max pales… well the zombie equivalent anyway. Suddenly, Pumpkin has purple sparkles all over his body. Sam is entranced.]
Sam: I feel compelled to take this plushie with me for no reason other than it’s all I always wanted. (He picks up Pumpkin who is flustered) It has a cute fedora and smells just like a pumpkin pie! Anyway, I’ll see you later Max.
[Sam turns to walk away with Pumpkin slung over his shoulder. Pumpkin looks to see Seine with a devious grin, no doubt having used his siren influence. He mouths for help as he and Sam leave. The Desire Trio wake up again.]
Seine: Now that Pumpkin’s out of the way, we can go back to business~
Max: Which is…?
Hefty: Number one: Making sure no one finds out that you and Sam ate Lorne!
Cassius: And number two: help you with Sam and you giving into your desires. After all, you have a whole eternity to indulge in Greed…
Seine: Lust~
Hefty: … and Gluttony!
[The Desire Trio laugh and smirk.]
