It was the blood-curdling(?) yell(?) that threw him off, R starting in surprise. Was that sound supposed to even come out of a human throat? He's heard every possible death rattle, gurgle, and sob and everything in between. That right there? That's a new one. It was loud enough R expected the forest to start teeming with other Dead hungry for this new, surprisingly vocal meal on two legs.
He guessed he shouldn't be surprised when the Tribute stabbed him clean in the chest.
The spear punched through, sliding between his ribs. It must've skidded off something on the way in because it didn't impale him all the way through. Instead of red blood, something rank and black and tar-like began to bubble out reluctantly around the shaft. Instead of crying out, R groaned out of instinct...only without a functioning mouth, all he could manage was a pathetic gurgle as he dripped ooze. He made matters worse by stepping forward onto a bit of withered intestine hanging out his stomach and tearing it off with a thick squish.
Can we cut it out with the spears? R had it up to here with getting stabbed with spears, from Hyperion to Eva and now to some guy who couldn't even scream properly. It was like he died a spear magnet or something, Jesus. R reacted by falling back to Undead 101, his hand coming up and grasping uselessly over the spear for something vague. He wasn't even sure what he was grabbing for. This guy looked like he'd probably be good eating. Then again, the hunger thought that way about anyone with a heartbeat.
