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

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.
team seventeen
Another person is already inside, struggling with a door as though it's been locked. Lucas glances behind him but the door he came through has already been closed for him, and when Lucas tries to open it again, he can't.
Cue Lucas looking annoyed. ]
What's going on here?
no subject
Locked. Where did you --
[ And then he saw the way Lucas was struggling with the other door. Well, shit. He pulled out his device, but for whatever reason, it looked like it was having trouble connecting to the network.
He gave Lucas a wry look. ]
Got a screwdriver?
no subject
Inspecting the nearest door to him, Lucas lifts his foot, about to give the door a hard kick -
Then he stops. ] Too much noise? [ He checks with his fellow prisoner whether he thinks it's a bad idea. ]
no subject
Don't know how much soundproofing this room has. Doesn't look used much.
[ How diligent had the locals really been in a dusty room like this one? It certainly didn't look like there was much foot traffic. Would they have expended the extra effort to make things solid, or decided 'good enough' and moved on...? ]
What sword?
no subject
My sword from home. It was returned to me by a native. [ Maybe he could have used it to open the door but that sounds equally as noisy as kicking the door down. ]
Do you have anything to write with or write on? Perhaps we could slide a note under the door. [ If there's a large enough gap... ]
no subject
Considering how basically no one around here spoke Japanese, however, he was a little reluctant to let his out of his hands. ]
We can look around. Looks like there's some junk in here.
no subject
How often does this building get used?
[ He's slightly concerned they may not be found until the next meeting. Starving to death isn't even his biggest worry, he's more concerned about the fact that he things to do outside of this room, which is keeping an eye on Dorothy. ]
no subject
[ Majima started looking through the boxes of assorted junk, attempting to be as quiet as possible while still trying to locate something that might help them get out. God, a screwdriver would be good. Maybe he'd settle for some wire, though. ]
Looks like cleaning supplies.
no subject
[ He's definitely not at that point yet. Unless... ]
Could this be some kind of test? [ Clean the room, then be released? ]
no subject
[ No really, who??
But in any case, he did manage to find a small box of odds and ends. Craft supplies, office junk, and... ]
Hey, a hairpin.
no subject
He raises a brow in interest at the mention of a hairpin. ] You know how to pick locks?
no subject
[ Majima said, looking a bit doubtful. ]
I was kinda hoping you knew.
[ You know, as one sort-of shady looking guy to another. ]
But I'll try anything at this point.
[ So here he was, attempting to bend the pin into a usable shape. ]
no subject
Good luck.
[ He doesn't have much hope; that much is obvious from the way he sits and makes himself comfortable. ]
no subject
Hello,
[ the young native woman signed, smiling. ]
Are you playing here?
