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

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.
no subject
Them being like zombies sounds potentially accurate. And terrible.
If that's what they are, you think there could be any way to reverse them being Sound Eaters?
no subject
Can't see how anyone could come back from somethin' that drastic.
no subject
[she sends the message, trailing it off with a frown and a quiet sigh.]
They may not act it, but do you think they remember it?
Being human, I mean.
no subject
If that happened to me, I'd --
[ want someone to just fucking end me already, was what he wanted to say, though that didn't seem at all appropriate for a setting like this one. Or a conversation with someone who was usually so upbeat. ]
Wouldn't want to live that way, that's all.
no subject
You wouldn't want anyone to try and help you?
no subject
Help me how?
No one knows how this works.
no subject
It doesn't mean we never will, you know? Progress doesn't sleep.
[the look she gives him is completely earnest, one full of hope and faith in the future.]
no subject
[ Kara seemed like a real nice person, and he didn't necessarily think the entirety of their situation was hopeless. For example, they might certainly figure out how to blow this popsicle stand -- or even stop the Sound Eaters.
As for the rest, though? Majima was mostly concerned with the now, and what seemed much more likely than the Sound Eaters' conditions being reversible was that someone would have to make a hard goddamn choice. He didn't see much point in deferring consideration about what his personal answer would be on that front.
On the other hand, they were painting a movie room, so. You know. Maybe it wasn't a good time to say all that.
Mayyybe table that for later. ]
Sorry to bring it up.
no subject
Don't be. It's something everyone should be talking more about, I think. If we want to figure out answers.
no subject
You serious about that?
no subject
[this speech would be so much better and more convincing with a cape attached. ugh. all of this because she hadn't wanted to get paint on her supersuit. still, the persona of Supergirl, that's inside her, so if she's squaring her shoulders now, standing a little straighter, a little more serious, more heroic, that's why.]
no subject
In that case, I'll be straight with ya. I agree that we should work together to try and solve this thing. That and what I'm about to say are separate deals.
If it was between me killing someone I loved, or me dyin', I'd pick the first one. I know that we supposedly can't really die around here, anyhow, unless somethin' goes wrong with the Reset Room. But there's no way I'd wanna live like that.
I'd rather take a bullet to the head, and I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they decided to do me the favor and put me outta my misery before I could tear apart someone I cared about.
no subject
I get that, I guess. I don't want to be a Sound Eater either. I doubt anyone WANTS something like that. But if that did happen, if you started to become one, your friends could capture you, contain you. We could figure out a way to make the prison being built sturdy enough to hold a Sound Eater. There's so MANY people here; someone could think of a way. And wouldn't you want that - wouldn't you want to be given a second chance? If you're contained, you can't hurt anyone, and maybe there'd be hope that you could turn back.
no subject
[ The idea of being contained, of being penned up in that prison brought back a wave of instinctive revulsion that made him grimace. Like hell was he going back there, like fuck was he going back to any kind of prison after he'd finally, finally managed to cut himself loose. ]
no subject
You'd rather be dead than told to wait for a bit?
no subject
You're actin' like we're gonna find out everything tomorrow. We get anywhere near findin' a cure, we'll talk.
no subject
Look, I get that death is just... you know, it's a constant, here, a threat if we sneeze wrong but a slap on the wrist too since we, at least, come back. But I just don't want to think about anyone here dying, especially if it can be prevented. And the idea that someone, that you, would choose death over an alternative... I just don't get it.
I know the "what if" we're talking about is just downright scary, but I'd rather protect everyone from dying, if at all possible. That's all.
no subject
[ Majima didn't really expect anyone to understand his way of thinking, though he suspected there were those here who shared it. After the past few years, death -- and most other things -- had ceased to be something to fear. ]
For what it's worth, I respect that outlook. It's good to have hope.
no subject
I appreciate that. And I do respect your outlook too, even if we don't agree. It IS brave.
no subject
Majima nodded. ]
I meant what I said. If there's somethin' I can do to help, lemme know. You allies of justice need rest, too.
no subject
LOL, I suppose we do. I'll keep that in mind, thanks. :)
