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.

"Yeahhh, but you know where to find me," he practically sings the words, smirk settled firmly across his lips; he doesn't take any offense to the lack of call. Whatever this was, it wasn't that serious, so he's not worried about that.

Fingers still twisting in his hair, he grins and his voice drops low, bordering seductive as he leans in. "Aaand now I know where to find you."

"Oh, I sure do. Don't suppose you'd mind a little Negan company once in a while, eh?" If Klaus wanted to keep him nice and subdued, the fingers through his hair seem to be doing a hell of a job. He's never been against a little PDA, especially when it ends with someone talking in that kinda tone.

"Goddamn right you do. Got a nice bed all to myself for the moment too... just saying." Not that the B&E wasn't a hell of a lot of fun for a night...

"Never. You can come...over whenever you want." The pause was obvious. Lingering. Deliberate. He's bad at covert flirtation most of the time, so in-your-face innuendos and lines are all he's got. Even if he has to kick Five out of the room, or they need to grab one of the few remaining empty ones for a night.

"Good to know." He smirks, and he lets his lips brush Negan's jaw. "Maybe you won't mind some company later tonight." he mutters soft and quiet, a piece of conversation just for him and no one else in the room, despite the business of it.

"You sure that's not going to get me a kick in the nuts by your brother? Because he looks like he'd do it and not even give a single goddamn." Hard ass little fucker. He likes him. He also likes the way Klaus's lips brush over his jaw, all the innuendo-laden flirting.

Just his type of guy.

"You can come keep me company anytime you want, sweetheart." There's a soft chuckle. "You're a hell of a fun guy to have around and I don't know about you, but I could use some fun in my life around here."

"I make no promises for lack of bodily harm if you surprise my brother, but I'll do my best?" He giggles softly; at least he's honest.

He hums thoughtfully at that. Yes. He likes the sound of that. "Good to know." he nips playfully at Negan's ear. He won't get too PDA-y here, not because he personally would give one single fuck about it, but no point in ruining a good night by pissing everyone off, right? "It's practically my middle name."

There's a playful noise at that nip. Negan's not actually opposed to PDA when it's on the makeout end of things, but-- he's got to live with most of these fuckers, so it's probably better to not make it too weird.

Doesn't mean he's not giving a playful look, something with just the slightest hint of desire around the edges. "Oh, I am looking forward to getting to know more about you."

He giggles more at the noise but shifts to settle against him. They can play more later. And the look on his face promises that much, at least.
