MOD LOG #2
MOD LOG #2
Now we're back to the beginning
Content Warnings: Death, apocalypse, a shit storm generally, pigeon death
Themes: Survival, plot
As noted on the ooc plotting post, this prompt is in the form of a Network Post via the native who runs the Bulletin Board. The post can be found here. Out of the five separate teams, all groups decided to share the footage they found. On the morning of the first, the footage will go live as a compilation in order of oldest to newest. Character's devices will update at the same time. The weather is overcast and sullen, befitting the news, and characters can talk to each other on the network post or play out their reactions on the log here.
Will you stay or will you go
Content Warnings: NONE
Themes: Survival, plot
On the morning of the second, the locals will call a meeting at town hall. All soundproofing and partnering rules apply - find a person and help soundproof the area. This is so that everyone can speak during the meeting. The found footage has unsettled the natives and after the community takes a seat, Constance will share some interesting backstory. As one of the oldest members of the community, Constance wasn't alive when the Sound Eaters first came but she heard stories from her great grandmother. The 'tales' have taken twists and turns over time, leaving the survivors with a watered down version of events that amounts to - they came and everyone had to be quiet.
An elderly native will come forward and admit that they arrived through the Reset Room when they were a teenager and have been living there ever since. They tried to get home and they could never find away. Most interestingly, to those that listen closely to his story, is that he came with a sibling who was killed by a Sound Eater and wasn't Reset. Yet, he's known people to come through the Reset Room, die, and come back. Piping up from the background, another local mentions that those born in the world they're in now (natives) aren't reset when they die. It's not something they have any real understanding of. Arrivals tend to disappear at random times, stay in the community, or leave; those that choose to depart and explore the world never make it very far. Whether this is from Sound Eaters alone or someone or something else, the natives don't know. It's obvious they are frightened and don't go beyond what they know is safe.
The natives will now ask the characters if they will stay as permanent members of the community. If they choose to, they will be given the option to take on an apartment that is completely soundproofed, furnished, and will be accepted completely by the natives. This can open up doors for characters to become important parts of the community. No character has to agree to become permanent members. If a character chooses not to, the arrangement they're in will stay the same until a few months from now when the natives ask again. Arrivals are given the chance to talk to one another so that they can decide and digest the new information. There is also a comment below to ask the natives questions 'in front of' the entire community.
ooc: Players have until apps close this upcoming round to comment to the housing page saying that their character chose to be permanent members and are taking an apartment. The apartment is located closer to the Reset Room and are either one or two bedrooms; please note which one your character is taking.
Therefore I lie with her
Content Warnings: NONE
Themes: Survival, plot
The native Constance, who hands out the devices, has decided to step back from a leadership role and has submitted the names of those that she believes could lead the group better than she has. Please vote responsibly. During dinner, a group meal prepared and served in the town hall, slips of paper will be passed around with a pencil for everyone to vote. They will be anonymous unless the person chooses to share out loud who they voted for. There won't be much time for campaigning, but candidates are allowed to do so if they'd like - either handwaved or through their own posts/top-levels.
THE CANDIDATES:
- Frank Castle
- Erik Lehnsherr
- Teddy Upsilon
- Richie Tozier
- Akira Kurusu
- Merlan O'Keefe

From your mods:
Please be mindful of content - if something triggery comes up or if it goes up a rating to say, something sexy, mark your threads in the subject line. We're very flexible and allow any material; we just want our players to be respectful of each other. If you have questions, pp the mod account, use the faq or comment to the appropriate post below. Have fun! The OOC Plotting Post.

[after a moment, she remembers Lorem had asked about how she's doing as well, and she waves a hand, a vague gesture. after everything that's happened, this is just sprinkles on the worst-tasting sundae in the world. is she okay? probably not. but that doesn't look heroic.]
I'm... I'm making it! It's a lot to take in.
no subject
[ even she knows her conviction sounds a little weak but she's insistent all the same. say it enough times and believe in it long enough than there's a chance it'll become real.
for now, she thinks it's best to chance topics and, thankfully, a good chance presents itself. ]
Truth be told? I'm... I'm curious about the emblem. I've never seen it before. [ she cocks her head to the side, curious. ] Is it a symbol of some sorts where you're from?
no subject
It's my family crest, back home.
no subject
she's only seen one family crest or symbol back in her home and, well, it had been her family's. and her family's symbol - a mere crest with a starburst and stars inside the shield - simply isn't as interesting when compared to the stylised 's'. (she thinks its an s.) ]
Does it have a meaning from where you are?
no subject
It stands for hope.
no subject
[ lorem sounds awed by that- staring at the symbol with wide, starry eyes that would have been more natural when she was younger and more trusting of the world. ]
That’s a wonderful message. One that we need now these days. And from what I can tell? Very fitting for you too!
[ oh wow- that's. that's kind of weird to say now that she thinks about it. ] I-I'm sorry if that was inappropriate! Please forgive me if it was.
no subject
It's fine, don't worry about it! That's very sweet of you to say. I just hope I can live up to it!
no subject
[ she looks back to the crowd and her expression softens to something sadder though her smile remains. ] Because I really, really want to help them out.
They... They tried to help us, in their own way. While not exactly forthcoming, they tried. I think that's worth something considering what they've been through.
no subject
Absolutely. I really think that everything they withheld, they did so out of fear. Heck, this stuff is scary, especially to a human. And if they die, they don't come back even. I can't imagine how terrified they are.
no subject
[ lorem pauses, clearly weighing the pros and cons of whatever she wanted to say next. while she looks hesitant, it takes a quick look back to seeing some of the townsfolk for her to make her decision. ] I can get feeling afraid. Being unsure of what's going to happen next because you find yourself in a situation you don't understand, don't seem to have a chance against.
It's not... It's not pleasant. It's not something I would wish on my worst of enemies.
no subject
Yeah, same here.
no subject
hope is not an easy thing to give, to protect.
out of impulse and instinct, she reaches out to hold her hand, trying to give some measure of comfort, but- lore stops herself at the last second, looking embarrassed when she realised what she was about to do. ] I-I should have... Um. I'm sorry.
no subject
No, it's okay. I promise.
no subject
but instead her gut instinct tell her to duck her head in shyness, her lips twitching as she struggled to figure out if she should frown or smile. lorem ends up shooting kara a look of gratefulness in the end. ] I- Thank you. It's hard for me to, um, be sure with new people. After being around the same group for so long.
no subject
no subject
I-I mean that... Um... If we ever find out about a particular thing about the town or how we should behave... We can tell the other? So they're in loop. [ lorem is using all of her composure to not bury her reddening face in her hands. ] If... If you're open to the idea, of course.
