driven into a mimefield

[zipperlips]

Who: Kurloz and anyone!
Where: The Plaza
When: Throughout the day.
Style: I'll follow you!
Status: Open

Kurloz wandering around might be a common sight in the bubble by now. He certainly stands out in the crowd, between his towering height, his skeleton costume and purple shorts, his facepaint and his horns. When he's around, it's impossible not to notice him, and when he disappears, he's impossible to find.

Today definitely isn't one of those days where he's hiding out. Quite the opposite, in fact. He's not making his idle way around the city or the island. Rather, he's apparently decided to take a stop in the Plaza and hang out there for a while. At first glance, it looks like he's just taken a seat somewhere, and is peoplewatching with his normal creepy stare. Only this time, when anyone passes too close, he starts moving, banging his fist on the air in front of him... almost as though he's trapped by an invisible wall.

[ Gumball withdraws his hand quickly so as not to make the dent large enough to create a hole for the zombie to escape! He tries gathering air from around the hole to push it into the dent and then smooth it over.

Hopefully, nobody noticed.

Even though his past experiences with zombies tell him to go with his gut, he can't help but think this zombie doesn't seem so bad. So after he is done fixing the dent in the invisible box, he gives the zombie a very hesitant wave. ]

[The problem is, the dent is inward toward Kurloz. But he'll take pity on Gumball, and with apparent great effort, push the box's wall back in to being flat.

That done, he "leans" on the wall, and blinks in surprise when Gumball waves. Finally, with a smile, he waves back.]

[ That's teamwork spelled Y-O-U A-N-D M-E!

He steps back slightly when the zombie leans against the wall. Fortunately, there is a barrier keeping him safe for now.

Gumball mirrors the wave with a bit more enthusiasm. ]

What is this prison?

[zipperlips]

[What is it? Well, it isn't. But Kurloz isn't about to say that. Instead, he starts feeling his way along the wall, until he gets to the "top", where he almost bangs a horn. From there, he starts feeling out the "walls" until he's turned around in an entire circle, and is facing Gumball again.]

[ Gumball watches him do this and has a moment.

Just a moment.

He's trapped

Yes. It's his turn to be the hero this time. ]

I'll get you out of there, zombie.

[zombie? Wow, Gumball, don't you recognize a troll when you see one? Not that he wasn't dead before he got here, but that's beside the point.

Gumball's pronouncement is met with a smile and a little round of applause from Kurloz. He likes the sound of this. But then he taps on the wall, and tilts his head. How is Gumball going to manage it?]
