INTRO LOG: DECEMBER


INTRO LOG: DECEMBER
IF I HAD A HEART


characters: everyone.
location: the harbor, as well as the rest of town.
date/time: december 1-3.
content: beacon's newest batch of residents arrives on the ferry. robin posts a bulletin.
warnings: n/a.

welcome to beacon.

It's dim, and the room won't stop swaying, gently rocking you back and forth. A loud sound startles you fully awake, a deep, moaning call: a foghorn. As your eyes adjust, you note faint red light streaking through the room from a tiny, round window.

You've found yourself in a private room, lying on a bed. The last things you remember are the events that led up to your death. Beside you is a folded tablet and a lantern glowing with a healthy flame.

You're on a ship. And that ship is docking.

Making your way to the deck, and eventually the pier, you find only moonlight to greet you, and a dark forest beyond. There are other people here, each with their own unique lantern, and many of them look just as lost as you are. On the ferry you've just disembarked from, the speaker system begins to play a song.

In the distance, across the waters of the lake, you can see the tall silhouette of a lighthouse, its red light slowly turning.

•••

The ferry has barely docked when everyone's tablets will ping: A new weekly bulletin has been posted!

...Aaaaaanyway, luckily for all the newcomers, the tablet and the town have some resources available for getting acquainted with their new situation! In fact, as soon as they're prompted to enter a network username, an app containing all sorts of useful welcome information will launch. Newcomers can always check out the weekly bulletins and the records in town hall as well, and everyone's welcome to get in touch with the NPCs through their inboxes.


ooc.

Hey there, wonderful players, and welcome to In the Night! You've happened to come at a chaotic time, as we've just wrapped up a rather large event. Half the town was stuck in a dreamland version of past Beacon, where they explored for clues about the town's history. The other half stayed awake and defended the town from a brutal onslaught of green-eyed, hallucination-inducing forest spirits. The town's pretty haggard after all that, so hey, there's a conversation starter! It'll be good to have some fresh faces around to help with the recovery process.

You can check out the various Enter Mr. Sandman event posts in the OOC and log comms if you're curious, and plenty of the details will likely come up ICly, as well! The aftermath is just beginning, and we're so glad to have you along for the ride. :)



DELIVERIES



The following packages can be found in the cargo hold:
  • The monthly store restock
  • For Eliot: A carton of cigarettes
  • For Prompto: 17 pairs of reading glasses
  • For Eleven: A pair of walkie-talkies, and enough batteries to last for 3 months of casual use
  • For Aziraphale: 12 drums, 11 lead pipes, 10 pairs of shoes, 9 wilting corsages, 8 bottles of milk, 7 taxidermy swans, 6 goose eggs, 5 stale onion rings, 4 bins full of duck armies, 3 dead chickens, 2 turtles, and a whole tree, though it's long dead... and strung with lights and garlands and holiday ornaments!
  • For Kol: A book
  • For Crowley: Peppermint extract, cream of tartar, a candy thermometer, a tin of cocoa, graham crackers, a generic bottle of red wine, a t-shirt with a crown logo on it, a book of love poems, and the goods
  • For Eleven: An assortment of wrapping paper, gift tags, ribbons, bows, and gift bags.
  • A lot of medical supplies. The supplies are plentiful enough that everyone may handwave finding common first aid supplies that will help to triage injuries sustained during the Enter Mr. Sandman event. The supplies won't immediately cure wounds, but they will help to prevent infection and ensure proper healing. There's even an assortment of painkillers, ranging from over the counter pills to IV morphine (though, hm, it seems each character will only be able to find one dose of the hospital-grade stuff, no matter how hard they search)

If you submitted an item request last month and we've missed it here, let us know!

there's a clock on the tablet, cupcake, for future reference

( and people say she's rude and unhelpful!! well, she just proved the haters wrong. )

how very gallant of you. i'd drink the koolaid next time if i were you, a two week long nap sounds way better than getting mauled by cranky spirits.
mellowyellow: (the prison bitch to my martha stewart)

Thanks, donut. I'll file that away for my next afternoon jaunt.

There's beauty sleep and then there's the sleep of the dead! I'm gonna stick with the former, thanks.

Besides, I'd rather play the handsome prince than the sleeping beauty!

How else am I supposed to showcase my unique talents?
vampirella: (0095)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-04 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
sleep of the dead, beauty sleep, for some it's one and the same

i'm sure the comatose crowd is thoroughly wooed by your exploits. but since you asked, maybe try showcasing them when people are awake enough to be impressed.

how long have you been slumming it here? i'm trying to figure out how long i'm going to be stuck here, and how pissed off about it i should be.
mellowyellow: (every alien in the galaxy wants you dead)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-06 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Never fear! Nobody's seen the last of my sick moves.

I'll return with a vengeance!

Oh.

Be pissed. Super pissed.

Just not at me!

I've been singing songs around this campfire for over two months now.

( is this kid talking about attacking rogue spirits or his DDR skills... it’s hard to tell. )

you must have made it out better than some of the rest, then. this place is like a badly lit long term care unit

( she could probably stand to sound more concerned about the many injured, couldn’t she? she’ll work on it. )

two months. ugh. what are these world destroying entities dragging their feet for, i think i would just rather the apocalypse

mellowyellow: (yes i'm a douche)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-18 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[You talk about them like they're mutually exclusive.]

Yeah! Still alive and kicking!

[Alive and kicking from a bed. Which he can't leave. He is bedridden. But it still counts.]

I'll take that as my bad ass victory for this round.

I don't know about you, but I already died once. I'm not stoked about the possibility of it happening again!

Apocalypses are cool for band names and gritty movies starring CGI, but that's it!!
vampirella: (00112)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-19 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
that's sort of the cover charge for this place, isn't it?

( so yes. dead. actually, this is her second time. if there was an undeath punch-card, she'd be well on her way to a get one free! )

well i'm not stoked about being stuck here sitting in the dark waiting for the world to end. if it's going to happen, why do they have to take so long? is their dance card so damn full they have to plan annihilation years in advance?
mellowyellow: (my starter husband)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-20 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's the kind of question you ring up Cthulhu for, not the hot dude you're texting on your inaugural afterlife bender.
vampirella: (0053)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-20 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
good point, do you have his number?

( she'd for SURE text cthulu, is that an option? ? ? ?? )
mellowyellow: (i deserve quality dick)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-21 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
You can definitely reach him here.

Be sure to ask him only the most annoying questions possible for as long as you can.

All eldritch horror abominations secretly love that.
vampirella: (0039)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-21 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
nice try. i have already met short, dark, and spooky

are you two friends? is this fond dude hazing? i don’t keep up with male bonding rituals
mellowyellow: (hey you leave my anime porn out of this)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-25 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Spooky? He dresses like an overexcited kpop group.

The entire group. Condensed into one asshole.

I don't know if I'm ready to call him a frenemy yet.

He's more like annoyquaintance.
vampirella: (pic#)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-25 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
that's an insult to kpop, at least those dudes seem like they can dance

he's not that bad. i've met far more aggressive scene kids, i promise you.
mellowyellow: (shut up i just want to talk about trees)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-25 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
He's dirty tease bad. That's pretty bad in my book!

[As in teasing information. Is Masaomi going to clarify that? Naw. He's too busy being irritated at a guy he's only spoken to once.]

It's way easier to get the aggressive ones to cool off.
vampirella: (0027)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-25 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
i get it, homoerotic subtext can be so frustrating

( is that not what he meant? ?? look, in her defense, he really could have phrased it better! )

just don't feed into the energy, they run out of steam when you don't give them the reaction they want. or, at least, they bail to piss off someone else. either way, you win.
mellowyellow: (because this is an ongoing legal matter)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-27 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'd win way more if you teased him about it.

I'll even pay you.

With kisses! ( ˘ ³˘)♥
vampirella: (0093)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-27 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
you might, but i wouldn't, and i don't accept kisses as currency

come back at me with whatever counts as valuable in this shithole and maybe we'll talk
mellowyellow: (he has a very lickable chest)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2019-12-29 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'll let you know right awayif I find even one cute and trendy outfit.
vampirella: (0028)

[personal profile] vampirella 2019-12-29 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
sure, you find an upscale department store out in the dismal abyss, and i'll get right on bugging that guy for you
vampirella: (0064)

[personal profile] vampirella 2020-01-12 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
( she's going to be eating her words if he finds a neimans out there, but until then, )

can't wait, cupcake.
