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

OOC
From your mods:

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.

[Will's ears are turning red again, with the pleased, delighted embarrassment that always comes when Kara compliments him. He's also quietly impressed at how effortlessly she lifts the heavy bag.] Thanks. I think it's some of my best work.
iisupergirlii: (look out the glasses are coming up)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-30 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to see some of your other work sometime! You know, Majima told me you painted a sign for him or something? I could see you being super famous for this kind of stuff one day.

[she turns to face Will, looking over her glasses at him, a serious look on her face.] But you have to let me buy the first thing you decide to sell.
deadboywalking: ([:o] why is my brother a loser)

[personal profile] deadboywalking 2018-03-31 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, y-yeah. That. [Will shrugs, somehow managing to turn even more red. Happy red, but still.

And then his eyes get wider and he squeaks out:
] Buy? With money? For money?
iisupergirlii: (happy hopeful hero)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-03-31 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah! You know. [she waves her hand, a general signal of Reims.] If this place starts using some kind of money again. If not, I'm trading you all the pickles for some art once you get into business.
deadboywalking: ([:(] alone in a crowd)

[Kara, you can't really understand why -- because it gets into Will being itty-bitty and sitting at the kitchen table listening to his dad yell about how Will needs to stop sitting and scribbling all day and do normal things, like go outside, run around, play sports, talk about cars and guns and things. It's all layered in the corners of Will's mind what is and isn't okay for boys to do.

But Kara doesn't seem to care, and that strikes Will somewhere in the heart and his breath catches a little before he steps forward and suddenly hugs her, tight.

iisupergirlii: (barry!)

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-04-08 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kara's surprised for a moment, but she's quick to wrap her arms around Will for a tight hug, even if she's not entirely sure why he's hugging her. She rubs at his back, comforting, and gives him a few beats before she breaks the silence.]

Are you okay, Will?
deadboywalking: ([:|] fluffy)

[personal profile] deadboywalking 2018-04-09 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Will's voice is muffled against her chest when he replies:] M'fine. Just. Gimme a second?
iisupergirlii: (house of el)

slams into ur inbox 2 weeks late like a CHAMP

[personal profile] iisupergirlii 2018-04-23 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely, honey.

[Kara's content to stay in the hug. Hugs are great, and Will clearly needs this. All the sadness Will carries around makes Kara's heart ache. She wants to just... teleport to his Earth and punch his demons right in the face. The literal ones as well as the more human-shaped, less obvious ones.]
