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

iisupergirlii: (ballad)

[Kara smiles softly at Kamala. She hates seeing the sadness all over Kamala's face. She gets it, though. She wants to go home so badly it hurts. And yet...]

I'm joining them, at least for now. Until we can figure out a way home that will keep everyone safe.
morphogenia: (even if you hide your true self?)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-05 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Kamala frowns at her. That makes sense and yet she's not sure it's alright. At least for her.] Does that feel... dishonest to you?
iisupergirlii: (inconceivable!)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-05 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kara tilts her head, confused.] Dishonest?
morphogenia: (I won't run away!)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-05 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kamala shakes her head. That sounds kind of mean.] Sorry that didn't come out right! What I meant was does it count if you're willing to jump ship at the first opportunity?
iisupergirlii: (strength)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-12 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to jump ship, not at all. I just want to be available to help everyone here, us and the natives, and then as soon as possible, rescue everyone out of Reims. No one should be left here to have to deal with the Sound Eaters and everything else.
morphogenia: (it's okay to get lost)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-12 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Kamala smiles gently. That's the right answer. It gives her comfort in this harsh situation.] You're right. It'd be nice if we could all escape together. These people deserve a better life than this. I wish I knew how to make that happen.
iisupergirlii: (aren't buttons expensive?)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-12 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Kara bites her lip, then leans in to whisper.] I... I think I might? I mean, maybe. There's people who could do it easily where I'm from and they're not here, but I think we might could... recreate it?

Don't tell anyone, please. Not yet. I'm not trying to keep it secret, but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, and it's going to take awhile to figure out most likely.

[she's not sure if telling Kamala is a good idea or not. not for lack of trust, but Kamala's a kid. But, hey, superhero to superhero, right? (Not that Kara knows that.) weight of the world on their shoulders, etc. etc. etc.]
morphogenia: (Apathy and indifference)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-18 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Kamala's heart sinks. She's heard the stories about a teenage girl who can travel the multiverse, Miss America, but they haven't met. She has no reason to come rescue her so she doesn't expect to see the other girl show up. People like that existing elsewhere makes sense. Telling anyone about it would also lead to pain though so she nods and whispers back.]

I won't say anything. If they're not here then all it'll do is upset everyone. They don't deserve that.
iisupergirlii: (just PLEASE do this)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-18 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I'm sorry, if it upset you. I didn't mean to do that. [she huffs out a laugh at herself.] I was trying to give a little hope, but. [she makes an aimless gesture, awkward and unfulfilling. sorry, Kamala. she's still new to this whole superhero'ing thing.]
morphogenia: (turning sadness into kindness)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Kamala smiles sympathetically. She gets it a little too well. Unknowingly she slips into something she thinks one of her elders would say.] I really appreciate it. It's good to know that someone out there can save the people here. Don't ever feel bad for trying to give people hope, okay? There's not enough of it on any world.
iisupergirlii: (feminist propaganda)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-24 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh no, that's really sweet. Kara's smile is small but genuine.] Thanks, Kamala. That's really nice to hear.
morphogenia: (getting the new wind on your side)

[personal profile] morphogenia 2018-03-30 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Any time! I'm all about hope. [She offers a thumbs up.]
