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!

I'll see what I can do. For the moment, would you mind answering a quick survey?
Your name (in full)
Your occupation
Your opinion on the Hyperion Corporation
There is a monorail barreling down the tracks. Up ahead, there are five cl4p-tps tied up on the tracks, unable to move and the trolley is headed straight for them. Coincidently, you are in the direct vicinity of the situation, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different track. However, you notice that Handsome Jack is on the side track. What would you do? Would you do nothing, and the trolley kills the five cl4p-tps on the main track? Or would you pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill Handsome Jack?
this killed me a little i'm ngl
is this hell
am i just reliving my intern years in hell
[He's just switching to voice dictated text.]
Rhys Strongfork
Atlas CEO
Fine, I guess? Maliwan's the pain the ass right now.
You know I'm not a Hyperion employee, right? I definitely changed those preferences, like, five years ago.
yw
I'm sorry so have to remind you, but lying is punishable by law in this place. Please answer the survey with only the truth.
no subject
[Jesus, did this reset or something? He sits again, tapping at keys. A long paragraph of coding follows; she'll recognize it as an attempt to solicit a software update.]
no subject
Please stop doing that, it's not going to do what you think it will. :\
If you're not lying, then something else isn't adding up. Atlas is long dead, crushed under Handsome Jacks gold plated boot heel. He even kept the deed to ownership as a trophy.
no subject
What's your name?
Yeah, Atlas was dead. And then Jack died, and then he really died, and Helios crashed, and I took the deed. That was five years ago.
no subject
Wait, what do you mean "really" died?
no subject

no subject
this scientist Nakayama make this digital clone of jack. identical, personality and all. he stored it in this hard drive, but it's destroyed now.
so: dead for good twice over.
no subject
[ Uhg! Of course any last vestiges of Jack, any means to bring him back, would be in Nakayama's possession. She remembered his early attempts to create a Jack AI but had no idea he'd perfected it. She should have done more scrubbing of the Hyperion systems while she had the chance, she should have made more time. This was her fault. ]
I'm so sorry.
no subject
now answer the question: what's your name, and why do you care so much?
no subject
Nevermind. A promise is a promise.
My name is Angel, and I witnessed first hand the wrath Jack inflicted on both Pandora and the six galaxies at large, but I ended up here before I could witness his downfall.
no subject
yeah
maybe uh
maybe we should talk in person
no subject
Why.
no subject
and what jack was to you
[. . .]
i'm not going to hurt you
no subject
No. That can't be right, it's impossible-- unless it was the vault hunters. He'd mentioned Zer0 after all, but what reason would they have to tell this guy about her?
This could be a trap, for what she wasn't certain, but a gamble with imminent danger all the same. Jack had ground that paranoia into her being until it was deep in her bones. But she was also deeply curious, both as to why this person she was talking to held such coveted information, and to what happened in that five year gap. From what she could tell, this was her only avenue towards answers.
Her reply takes a long time again, but eventually his tablet will ding with a message ]
...Alright. I'll meet you at the tavern. If you know who I am, then you will know what you're looking for.
[ So long as he's not bluffing. ]
no subject
So he stands there, looking kind of stupid with his red arm and his blue eye and his clothes all Atlas brand. And sooner or later, he catches the eye of a young woman he hopes is her, and gives an awkward half-wave.]
Hey. Angel, right?
no subject
Angel is sitting several tables away, a little more secluded in the corner of the tavern, long changed out of her Hyperion jumpsuit in exchange for a simple black sweater and leggings.
Rhys, for his part, is definitely not hard to spot what with all that garish atlas branding (why were CEOs like That?) She watches him awkwardly interact with some complete stranger for a moment before taking pity. He doesn't look threatening, at least. Then again, neither does she.
She loudly clears her throat in his direction. ]
no subject
. . . ha ha, god, this is going to be awkward. He offers her an awkward little smile. Hello. How are you, daughter of the man I murdered.]
. . . hey. So. Uh. Hi? Rhys Strongfork, uh. Former Hyperion employee.
no subject
You've said as much, but who the hel- who exactly are you, in actuality? And what do you think you know about me?
no subject
So. During all that, Jack sort of . . . told me about you. That you betrayed him, although I know with Jack that's not exactly hard to do, because the guy was psychotic. That you killed yourself. And that you were his daughter.
no subject
She lets out a sharp breath, averting her eyes away from Rhys as she shakes her head, not in disbelief that Jack framed things that way, but in that he told anyone. Especially someone she didn't even know. ]
Yes, that's mostly correct-- though only he would believe what I did was betrayal,even after everything he-
[ She stops herself, taking a deep, shaking breath, has to calm down. ]
I sabotaged Jack- my father's plans, and I died in the process. Though I'd been effectively dead for years prior thanks to him.
no subject
[Betrayal, ostensibly, or at least betrayal according to Jack.]
In-- how-- what did he do to you?
[He doesn't mean it as bluntly as it comes out. It's just that this is a bizarre sort of thing to connect with an all-but complete stranger, and it's been a long few years since he's thought about all this.]
no subject
Aren't you more interested in how this is possible? The fact that you're talking to a dead person?
I...guess you must have figured it out. Sorry if I gave you any false hope.
