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

She's tense, worried, and it only increases when Kara takes off away from him. Max glares at the man, even though she's pretty sure he doesn't see her, but then she pushes her way through the crowd, looking around for her.
It takes her a moment, but she spots her finally, alone in a corner, crouched down and looking distressed. She quickens her step and moves to her side, sinking down to sit next to her on the floor.]
What happened?
no subject
I'm bad. I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm bad - [Kara repeats the mantra, her face wet with tears, her voice high and broken. She killed Frank. She failed Faith. She failed Kilgrave. He died twice while he was here. So many people have died here - what has she been doing? Lifting heavy things? Flying people around? What kind of hero does that?
It's kid stuff. It's useless. It's a waste of time. She's wasting everyone's time here. She's bad.
she doesn't notice Max at first, and when she does, she startles, blinking up at her, despair written all over her face. she shakes her head.]
Don't... please don't put your faith in me. I don't deserve it.
no subject
Hey, no.
[Max hesitates a second because physical contact is always an iffy thing, but she rests her hand on Kara's arm gently.]
You aren't bad. That - guy made you think that. But you aren't. You're a good person.
no subject
I'm not. I know you want me to be, and I want me to be, and I'm so sorry for letting you and everyone else down, and -
[she cuts off, lowering her head again and letting out a sob.]
no subject
no subject
she has to be better.
after a moment, when she's calm enough to speak, even if her very soul feels heavy, she looks up, wipes her eyes on her blue sleeves.]
Thank you, Max. I'm going to... I need to go. Home. I don't want to... [she bites back the self-loathing. A kid shouldn't have to handle this, not from an adult. It's not right or fair to Max.] I'll see you later, okay?
[with that and a wave, Kara is out the door, her face red and wet as she hurries home, her heart clanging in her chest as she gives in fully to the panic.]
no subject
Then she rubs her hands over her face, exhaling slowly, and remaining seated in the corner for the time being.]
