DAY 028
SOMETHING ON THE WIND

Another day dawns in the fair town of Mathias. The sky is a blanket of light grey, tiny specks of snow lightly falling as the hours pass. It makes the town feel almost quaint, the scenery quite peaceful in its winter garb. But beneath the veneer of peace there is a pervasive dread of something approaching. Something inevitable is on the wind, something that has come before and will come again...

Throughout the day, residents will consistently experience feelings of deja vu, that sense of having done or seen or said something before that can never be fully recalled. It happens again and again, tugging at the back of their minds, the memories just frustratingly out of reach.

Residents will also notice a note pinned around town:




The note can be found on the town hall's bulletin board and the front doors of many town establishments, including the Grey Gull, the library, and the boarding house. At the bottom of the note it is specified that the meeting will take place "tomorrow, when the sun is over the town square."


NEW ARRIVALs

The newest arrivals to Mathias will wake on the frozen lawn of the town hall atop a snowdrift. They had best hurry inside and get warmed up before hypothermia sets in.



DAY 029
A GATHERING OF MINDS

In the late afternoon when the sun hangs over the town square, residents will converge upon the Town Hall, where a larger meeting room has been filled with rows of chairs. After most people arrive, John Constantine stands and addresses the room... and then sits again. A grand introduction, truly.

Residents are encouraged to share their experiences and information they have gathered in the town while holding questions until the end. Rather than getting tangled in the intricacies of each person's tale, it seems better to absorb the broad strokes and try to connect the puzzle pieces to get a look at the bigger picture that is the mystery of Mathias Township.


THE INEVITABLE

As the meeting comes to an end and residents begin to converse among themselves, the feeling of something approaching and sense of deja vu begin to build, becoming almost oppressive as night falls. An hour after nightfall, residents learn the reason for these sensations that cease immediately as the earth begins to rumble. The buildings shake, furniture tumbles, and breakables crash to the floor as the earthquake sets in without warning.

The tremors last around a minute, far longer than a normal earthquake, and then the town settles again. There are no aftershocks, which many may note is quite unusual. Residents will find quite a bit of mess in their homes and other locations around town, but there is no structural damage to be found despite the intense shaking.







CONDITIONS UPDATE
THE WEATHER is fairly typical of a northern winter. The sky is grey, the temperature hovers just below freezing during the day (colder at night), and a light snow falls during both days. Residents should bundle up when going outside and not venture too far into the dark night...

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 with Sherlock Holmes being the latest victim of the town's unsettling whims.





OOC NOTES
TOWN MEETING STRUCTURE The town meeting section of the log is designed for characters to share any information they would like to with the other residents in attendance. ICly, characters should "hold questions until the end" with the intent that they can get the Big Picture first and connect any dots they see. OOCly, this means players should post their character's information sharing tag in the Meeting section, but the actual conversation about whatever they share happens after the meeting proper in the Mingle section. That way, these conversations can happen however players prefer, be that one-on-one or in small or large groups.

HOUSING Please be sure your character's housing arrangements are up to date on our list. We're missing a few people and it really helps to know where everyone is for planning. Frequent updates for wandering characters are perfectly acceptable.

THE BULLETIN BOARD has been updated. Players should note there is a change to the wall near the board that may be of great interest to some residents.

[ Sam is standing in the snow looking at Dean almost like he's not really there. This wouldn't be the first time that the universe screwed with him by giving him Dean only to take him away. Hell, Sam wasn't even sure that this Dean was his Dean.

Curiosity and his need for Dean to be real had him walking towards his brother. ]


Took me- Where the fuck are we now? And what did I give you for Christmas when we were kids waiting for Dad to show?

[ Sam wanted so badly to hug Dean but he was scared.]

( Sammy, that hurts. You can bet Dean spies for a man-bun. He doesn't see trace of anything so hipster.

The F-word. Well, if Dean's been missing, he'd be this squirrelly.
)

The necklace you wanted to give dad that turned out to be the direct line to Chuck.

( Is that the answer he's looking for? Dean comes to a stop just in case. )

And I lifted a Barbie and a baton. You hate Christmas. You hate most holidays. You don't get why I like Horror movies because our life is one long horror movie. You went with Jack to save Bobbie and the other Apocalypse Worlders. Cas and I went to confront Billie.

[Sam looks around him subtly trying to figure out what Dean is looking for. Sam is well within his rights to say fuck since an hour ago they had defeated Chuck and were on a road trip of their own choosing. He was looking forward to spending some time on the road not having to work.

Not having to figure out to save the world or stop one or both of them from dying, Sam wasn't going to lie, he had been looking forward to that.

But, Sam's whole body relaxed and he closed the distance to Dean in one stride, pulling him in for a hug, just squeezing, not caring that it might be too tight. ]


I still have the baton... somewhere.

[ his voice is slightly muffled his body hunched.]

Going to fight Billie? You don't remember anything after?

[Sam was dreading the answer... almost ]

oh my god, Bobbie should be Bobby lmao. I had an aunt Bobbie wow. anyway nothing to see here

[personal profile] cholesterol 2021-01-29 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
( Just making sure this is his Sam, and not nouveaux riche Sam Winchester.

Dean passed the test and then his brother brings his arms around him, closing the distance between them. it's fine. He can breathe after. That Sam's a Christmas hoarder Dean did not see coming.

After patting his brother's back, he speaks past him, not breaking the Winchester level hug.
)

Not from your end of it. We fought Billie. Cas... ( Declared his love and sacrificed himself to the Empty. He doesn't know what he'd told Sam about it - future him. So, he doesn't keep going from there. ) Cas filled in the blanks - well, his side. Cas is here too, Sam. ( He smiles with pride. ) And Jack's God. I'm so frickin' proud, man.
moosey: (80)

LOL! I read it as Bobby so your good... nothing to see.

[personal profile] moosey 2021-01-31 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, they weren't letting go... not that Sam was gonna complain. First, he really didn't understand what the heck was going on. And second, his brother was here. He wasn't alone. ]

Cas, What?

[Sam knows that Cas summoned the Empty because he was happy but not the why ]

Jack did so good, Dean... we got our chance. But why are we here?

nothing at all

( He does, finally. 'Cas, what?' Sam asks as Dean steps back. His brother is here, he's real, he's safe. He can corroborate what happens with Jack which at least lets Dean breathe a little easier about what happens after. The last thing Dean remembers is not taking Sam's call. He was devastated. Broken. Collapsed, inside fate bunker.

Dean skips right past to the second question.
)

We don't know. Answers are scarce. And everything we find - doesn't give us more answers. Something Chuck-level that's bringing us all here, keeping the food replenished every day. Fog keeps us all inside the borders. There are about twenty-five of us, just about. ( He notices Sam, though. ) We should get you inside.

[personal profile] moosey 2021-02-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Sam could push Dean for an answer but given their circumstances and Sam not understanding most of what was happening around them would just make him an asshole so he let it slide. ]

It's not Chuck, is it?

[because that would suck ]

Where is inside? and why did I want to walk into the fog, Dean?

Hey. Don't go into the light, Carol Anne.

( His finger springs up, giving an order to his little brother. He is not losing Sam to the fog. )

It does that. Town's out of the reject pile of Stephen King ideas. Come on.

( Briefly, he shrugs off the large winter peacoat that is not his style and drapes it over Sam's shoulders. The green one Sam knows is finally in the wash back at the house. As he guides them, he keeps talking. )

Far as we know, this isn't Chuck. He doesn't have the power, anymore. Right?

( Tell him Chuck stayed stomped. )

[ Sam can't help it, he laughs at his brother. For about 5 minutes he thought Dean was gone forever so his brother's usual wit is met with a jocularity that Sam probably shouldn't feel at the moment.

He snaps to attention, giving Dean a mock salute.]


Yes, Dean. Understood.

[ Sam was about to protest but the peacoat, which was totally Sam's style, was warm and smelled like his brother so he took comfort in that while he could. ]

Thanks. [Said softly and with a grateful smile as he let the coat take the chill off. ]

No... We left Chuck on the side of the road. You didn't kill him, Dean. He wanted you to but you... were awesome, man. I was so proud to be your brother. Jack took his power, so as far as I know, he's like us. Which is a good thing. Wait, Jack's not here, right?

[He reaches out to grab his brother's arm in momentary panic. ]

( Jesus, Sam. You're freakin' loopy. )

Uh, ( Give him a second. Sam, you're being all earnest and Dean was not prepared to have a heart to heart. So, he focuses on the question at hand. ) not that we've seen. God has better things to do, right? We can get ourselves out of this.

( The hunters, the angel, and all of the misfits. )

[Dean, cut him some slack, man. He is suffering from emotional whiplash here. Sam looks at Dean, knowing that they're bordering on a chick flick moment that Dean loves so much. He focuses back on Dean and less on his own inner turmoil.]

Good. That's good. Not that I don't love Jack but I don't know what a place like this would do with someone like him. [Sam nodded ] He is hands-off or mostly.

We can. That's what we do, right? How well do we know the 25 other people here?

Claire's here, too. No Jody or the other girls. A US Marshal named Raylan Givens from Kentucky. Doc Holliday, but he might introduce himself as John Henry. Just go with it. Most of them are civilians. Never even seen their own vampire or alternate reality. Watch out for Malcolm. He's a behavioral analyst head shrinker. A real Spencer Reid.

( Like that. )
moosey: (Default)

[personal profile] moosey 2021-02-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Did you fanboy over Doc Holliday? [total serious question. Sam looks over at his brother. ]

You didn't punch him did you? For head shrinking you?

( ... ) Shut up.

( Yes. He practically fell over himself and cracked his face from how hard he grinned when he made the connection. )

Almost.

( Nah, he didn't. The shrink saved him from freezing in the snow after passing out, so, he does owe him one. No, he doesn't. He already thanked him. )

Other than Cas, Claire, and me, none of us have anything to do with one another. We think we're all from different worlds. There's a kid here, Ellie, and -- Negan from a world overrun by zombies. Or, walkers. ( What a name. He looks over, deciding whether or not to say it, before finally giving in. ) Thing is, Negan's the first person I ran into after waking up. He looks like dad. He has more hair. But. If you took out the country and added a little bit of rock-n-roll.

( He'd be freakin John Winchester. )
