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

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

I got small cans of a lot of different colors, but I got a couple gallons of yellow and some light blue. I really think it'll spruce the place up some!
no subject
Do you happen to have orange and black? The yellow and light blue will make the rooms look brighter. Not colors I would chose or pick, but they seem to suit you.
no subject
I do! Just small cans, but I do have those colors, yeah. Planning on painting some early Halloween decorations?

Your ship sounds amazing! Do you want to borrow some paint to... draw it maybe? I'm sure you could find some blank wall space in the theater room somewhere, if Will's left any, haha.
no subject
It was a very good ship. Since you have small cans I'll see what I can do. Will's the one that draws, right?
no subject
He is! He's really good!
[she gestures at the theater room if Poe wants to check it out.]
no subject
I'll see what I'll be up against.
[ He gives a nod while walking into the theater room to give the current art from Will a look over. ]

The Sound Eaters are in a league of their own. They're real. They're terrifying, but... I've gone up against lots of monsters. I mostly just want to know how to escape them, but they don't scare me like movies would. There's nothing fun about them.
no subject
They're very real. I've only gotten to see them at a distance. I wouldn't really know what I would do if they were too close. There probably isn't a way to escape them once they hear you. Unless someone else was there to make noise to draw them away. Movies, I'm guessing they are like a recording? In a specific way. No, there isn't anything fun from the Sound Eaters. If one were nearby and you made a sound, you're done.
no subject
The outline of Ghostbusters is across from them, and Kara is so excited about what this room can become, how much fun her friends can have in it. They all deserve a break from the horrors that are just outside the walls, at least. Finally, she breaks her own reverie and looks down to read Poe's message, leaning against the back of one of her couches.]
Up close and personal isn't a better view, trust me. But yeah, that's basically what movies are. Stories acted out by people or drawn, like cartoons, and recorded. It's just a guilty pleasure way to entertain ourselves!
no subject
Maybe he could try this movie night thing since he wouldn't get a chance to any other time. He comes back to point at the Star Wars one again while replying back. ]
These characters are very familiar to me. They're much older now. [ Or luminous, gone, but he stays looking at the Leia knowing the hairstyle even if it's different way later from this. ] Not bad for entertainment purposes. Everyone needs something like that if they can't entertain themselves. I grew up on stories, a lot of stories. Otherwise I was a reckless kid growing up.
no subject
Familiar? Do you know them?
no subject
I heard stories about Luke Skywalker growing up. My mother escorted him to the second Death Star during Endor. She even helped him out on a mission and gave her a gift. A very special gift. [ He points to the figure that would be Han and Leia. ]
These others are Han and Leia. My father told me that Han was a very good shot back during the rebellion days. Han helped my father to retire so he could focus on the family he had. Leia, well, I don't remember a time when she wasn't a part of life. Princess Leia would be accurate for this painting. She's a General now for the Resistance.
no subject
She sounds amazing. They all do.
no subject
[ He looks over at Kara. ]
I may be able to put the ship closer to this one. I don't need that big of a space.
