DAYS 024-025
CONSEQUENCES“There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments —
there are consequences.”
— Robert G. Ingersoll
When the unwilling residents of Mathias Township wake on the morning of the 24th day, they will find themselves in yet another set of frustratingly unnerving circumstances. None of them are where they last remember being, and some of them have strange marks on the palms of their left hands. It's all incredibly unsettling, but truthfully they should be used to it by now. No one will remember traveling to their new location.
Residents can wake up anywhere within their new location and in any position. Curled up in a bed, sprawled on a couch, huddled beneath a coffee table, propped against a wall... Wherever they are, they will themselves to be in quite an unusual state. While they are wearing whatever clothing items they went to sleep in, plus their shoes and a coat. The newest arrivals to Mathias Township will perhaps stand out for being slightly more appropriately dressed than their new neighbors. They are all a bit damp, physically worn out, and half-frozen from their apparent walk through a blizzard.
Each of the four locations is inescapable — residents are trapped, with exterior doors and windows being shut tight and a blizzard raging outside. The locations are stocked with fresh food and water and a large pile of firewood for the fireplaces in each building. The circumstances residents will face, however, may vary wildly between locations as the forces at work in Mathias respond to the recent actions of certain individuals.
BOARDING HOUSE | GREY GULL
NEW HOUSE | MYSTERY MANSION
These residents will wake with a mark on their left hand palms, a spiraling black symbol similar to those some may have seen around town. All marks are identical and cannot be removed, but will have seemingly vanished from their skin on the morning of the 26th day.Castiel, Daisy Johnson, Dean Winchester

IN THE AFTERMATH
After their ordeals of the past two days, the unfortunate residents of Mathias Township will be grateful to find that they were back where they are supposed to be, a chill still clinging to their clothes in whatever place they went to sleep the night of the 23rd day. New arrivals will wake in the living room of the boarding house. None of the residents will wake with anything in their possession from the locations in which they were previously trapped, including any notes or documentation they may have made during their time there.
CONDITIONS UPDATE — SNOW continues to fall heavily on Days 024-025, resulting in white out conditions from the wind that blows in gusts of over 35 mph; the temperature also drops drastically, making conditions extremely dangerous for residents. The blizzard clears on Day 26 and residents are left with a cold, calm world covered in white.
— THE FOG remains blocking the paths in the forest, urging residents to stay huddled within the town proper, and it also now blocks the northern section of town, beginning just before where residents know the chasm in the earth to be. Venturing into the fog is... ill-advised.
— DISAPPEARANCES continue to plague the town. Kylo Ren and Thomas Richardson have vanished without a trace.
— NO NEW DEATHS have occurred in town, but there is a new "grave" in the small makeshift graveyard near the schoolhouse. Rey's corpse has been moved and covered with stones to wait for the ground to thaw enough for a proper burial.
— THE LANTERNS will be gone from the morning of Day 024. No trace of them remains.OOC UPDATES — A GIFT for everyone! As a thank you for being part of this spooky little game, every character in the game is being gifted 2 Activity Points. These may be banked over here — instead of linking to an AC post, you may put "New Year gift" in that field. Happy 2021, friends!
— NEW LAYOUTS have been installed for our communities! Huge thanks to our Eldritch Librarian Stars for putting in the time to get this place looking shiny. (You may have also noticed some new page layouts being installed — these are also our Librarian's handiwork!)
— DISCOVERIES have been collected and collated for your review. Please note that this is OOC information only, put together for the purpose of helping you as players see connections and possibilities for CR and your own character's potential avenues of exploration and investigation. (If we are missing something, please report it so we can add it to the list.)
— REMINDERS — Don't forget about the bulletin board. Please continue reporting your updates to locations, plots, and discoveries. The map of Mathias has been added to the locations page for ease of reference. Make sure your character's sanity level is kept updated. Prospective players are still joining the TDM, so it's recommended to track new top-levels so you don't miss them.navigation | faq | setting | mod contact

[ If he hadn't simply given up trying to keep reality and the hallucinations of his mind straight years ago he might have felt more strongly about the idea of multiverse and various realities. Now? It wasn't any more or less insane than anything else in his life. ]
Going to share? [ He asked, pointing towards whatever bottle of whiskey appeared the least drained. ]
no subject
[ At least he doesn't seem too bothered. That's good. It might mean plenty of what happens here in Mathias won't get under his skin like others. Their newest addition seem to be the same sort of mad as John himself.
Makes it easier, really.
John reaches over and holds the bottle out to him. ]
Now, since we're sharing good old whiskey, how about we share names?
no subject
The shitty lot.
For the time being Will reached out to take the bottle. He uncapped it and took a deep, healthy swallow before sitting down on the edge of the bed. ] Will Graham.
[ Another two healthy swallows and he recaps the bottle and holds it out towards John. ] Alright. Think I'm ready to hear about your self entitled job that results in an utter disregard for [at that moment the scratching went to town above their heads and Will simply motioned towards it. ]
no subject
[ He makes just a bit of room for Will. If only because he likes a bit of space himself. Then there's a nod and he takes the bottle back. ]
Cheers.
no subject
[ Tired eyes turned to look at John. ] Usually your sort can be found chanting Latin and have flailing fits while bellowing about red eyes and the voices in their head made them kill the neighbors. [ He sighed and rubbed the heel of his palm into his eye. ] Kill the neighbors and string their guts like garland around the house.
no subject
You get used to it.
[ He sniffs before rubbing his nose. Oh, he'll be all about that hangover tomorrow. No worries. ] Latin's all fun, but, you need to know a few more languages if you're going to get far. Magic isn't limited to just the left overs of Rome.
Those are only the nutters. Though, I suppose you do need to be a bit mad to see the whole scope of reality. I'm not all about human sacrifices and what not. I prefer to turn my gaze to the bastards that do that.
no subject
I know Latin and Creole and the language of monsters, but magic is not big in my reality. [ The whiskey on an empty stomach was helping him be more sociable than usual. Also more accepting of the unreasonable. This man wanted to talk about magic and demons? Sure we'll go with that. ]
I have my hands full with the human monsters. The ones that are more creative than the demons and otherworldly that haunts the pages of fiction.
no subject
[ He might also enjoy that look of awe on people's faces. Not because he brought them joy, but, it's a nice little ego pat to his back. Mathias does wonders on his ego of being a Dark Arts dabbler. ]
Those are always the truly evil ones. [ John shrugs. ]
no subject
Now was a good time to drink more and so he helped himself to a fresh swig. ]
We're a group of strangers, coming from different realities, with no apparent common denominator, or reason to explain why we're here and ... what?
Does that make sense in any of the literature you spend time going over?
no subject
No, more likely, something happened here and it shattered the way this reality works. Time's broken too. None of the clocks all line up, some of them are even incapable of workin' period. Big magic has to be involved with that. I've got a theory that what we're dealin' with is a pissed off local deity or nature spirit. Demons don't work at this level. They're much more about gettin' bodies and bringing Hell to Earth for more.
[ He sighed and fell back on the bed. Enjoy the bunch of tattoos he has, Will. ]
no subject
Magic is sleight of hand illusion where I come from. My explanation would involve a fractured psyche with anger issues and a vivid imagination. [ He did just describe himself, but he is honestly trying to accept that this is not his mind at work. ]
Either theory, I agree. There is broken confusion that is outwardly manifesting as hostility and misdirected trauma here. [ He looked at John and saluted him with the bottle. ] Be it magic or some psychopath's subconscious.
no subject
[ Give him punk songs and give him no British Invasion thank you! ]
Oh, well, hallucinations would be all dandy and explain all of it. If I had something strong enough to cause those. Also, you usually don't wake up soaking wet from the ocean after you've died in a hallucination. At least, I don't in mind.
[ There was a long sigh as he stared up at the ceiling. Ah, hell. So much for enjoying a day without going over whatever was wrong in Mathias. There never was a break with it, was there? ]
Maybe a bit of both.
no subject
The horrors I've tangled with in my life are all tied back to the depravity of the human experience. [ He went on to explain in a soft tone, looking around the room. ] Magic, multiple universes, astral planes. Those are usually the delusions I have to crawl through in order to figure out why that particular mind is brutally murdering people.
[ He looked down at the bottle. ] The latest was a family annihilator who fancied himself William Blake's Great Red Dragon. Had the figured tattooed on his back. [ He'd taken note of the tattoos on your body, John. ]
no subject
[ He grinned at it though. Honestly, he had tried nearly all hallucinogenics to man thanks to magic or ...recreational purposes. He was a hot mess walking. ]
People brutally murder one another because there's a evil side of humanity. In the end? You can think all you want about it, but they're either standing up to evil or pushing for it.
[ John reached over for the long trenchcoat that was draped near by. He pulled out a pack of unbranned cigarettes. With a flick of his hand the cigarette came to life and he leaned back on the bed with it firmly between his lips.
This conversation was damn sobering. He didn't really like that. ]
Sounds like a bloody waste of ink to me.
cw: non-con drug use
There is brutality in self-awareness. [ Will remarked, neither agreeing or disagreeing with John's assessment.
As for the conversation skewing too deeply towards buzz kill, perhaps they might avoid that eventually when Will sat there in stunned silence after John lit his cigarette. His eyebrows lifted slowly and he looked impressed. ]
They lack zippos here?
no subject
[ John gave him a grin and inhaled from the cigarette. Christ, he missed Silk Cuts. Mathias had cheap tobacco but it was better than none. ]
Not quite sure why I put on the coat without the rest of the clothes... woke up downstairs as you see me.
[ Including the bruises all over his sides. Cracked ribs. Always a fun time. ]
no subject
My last memories did not involve an overcoat. [ He remarked looking down at the coat wrapped around his blood stained slacks. ] This town usually attentive to making sure we're appropriately dressed for the weather?
no subject
[ He raised an eyebrow at the coat the man beside him was wearing. Well. At least he looked like he fit in with the rest of the town. ]
Plenty of houses to take clothes from. Same with the clothing store down on one of the roads.
no subject
'Take from?' Sounds a bit rude. Are there no rules about bartering? Or is there simply no one to barter with?
no subject
Just an empty town.
no subject
no subject
no subject
We've reached that point in a conversation where we will both be best served to shut up and drink. Yes?
[ Because Will wasn't ready to jump on the bandwagon of deities and John was making a good argument for this not being a figment of Will's imagination. There was always small talk.
...
Yeah no.
So quiet, companionable drinking? ]
no subject
[ He holds the bottle back up for Will to take a bit of. Best to just be quiet and enjoy the drinking and the company. The question is... who is going to pass out first? ]
