DAY 065-071
ASSIGN TO OBLIVION“No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes
place in the interim, there are some things we can never
assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.”
— Haruki Murakami
Only two days have passed since the town was fractured, leaving residents cut off from those they'd come to know and even care for. A mere two days of wandering the new streets, uncovering more secrets that continue to make little sense of this strange place. Two days with sunrises, sunsets, and nights that seem like any other.
And yet.
When residents wake on this third day, they will find that much has changed. All around them, wherever they may be, there are signs that time has passed without them. Dust covers everything, indoors and out, even areas that were spotlessly clean seemingly hours ago. The residents themselves are covered as well, dust clinging to their hair, skin, and clothing—
Clothing that they may not have been wearing when they went to sleep. Each resident, regardless of the state they were in previously, is now clad in a pair of white pajamas, with long pants and button-up shirts. Those who thoroughly explored Baneberry Hall will easily recognize these articles as identical to those well-stocked in the decaying great house. On top of this, the clothes they wore from home have disappeared, along with anything else they may have brought with them when they arrived or items from home that have been found within the borders of Mathias.
There is no sign that anyone has entered their place of shelter, nor is there any sign of what may have been done with these items or how they came to be wearing these clothes. The dust all around them is undisturbed, almost as if they had been sleeping there for quite some time, though it seems impossible for such a thing to have occurred naturally.THE NEW ARRIVALS
The newest arrivals to Mathias will wake up on the lawn of Town Hall, at the center of the little town square. They, too, are bereft of any items from home and clothed in the identical white pajamas. There are shops all around them, with houses just beyond, and at first glance, everything seems almost picturesque. Except for the silence that is at times so complete as to be maddening... Welcome to Mathias.
SUMMERTIME
— When summer arrives, so too does an outdoor stand in front of the General Store. Sporting a handpainted sign proclaiming Whateley Farm, the stand is overflowing with a variety of produce: berries, plums, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, green beans, leeks, onions, peppers, potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic bulbs. These do not replace the produce offerings normally found inside the market, but they do behave strangely. The stand replenishes sporadically, sometimes every other day or every five days. There is no discernible pattern to when it replenishes, nor is there any sign of how it came to be there at all.
— With the now-complete reverse change of season, much of the autumn debris has cleared from around town. Only a few stray leaves and fallen branches remain, their crisp colors at odds with the warm summer days. The forest has also cleared of much of the fall detritus, making it easier to both follow the paths and potentially spy things that might be out of the ordinary.CONDITIONS UPDATE — THE WEATHER Summer has arrived in Mathias, bringing with it warm days that average 70°F and comfortably cool nights. The skies are clear throughout the week save for Day 68 when a light rain falls from a grey sky throughout the day.
— THE FOG has maintained its new boundaries.— Residents may now wander the southern stretch of the forest surrounding Mathias Township — it is possible to leave the paths but potentially unwise to do so.
— The fog has also retreated from the western section of town entirely.
— Access to the northern section of the forest is still blocked beginning a few dozen yards past the treeline; this section of fog will urge residents to stay huddled within the town proper by inducing a physical reaction of panic and fear.
— DISAPPEARANCES AND DEATHS continue! Max Guevara and Liz Brundy have disappeared, and now that everyone is back together, residents will notice that Yennefer, Number Five, and Tony Stark have also vanished.
— ALCOHOL supplies have run dry, save for any dregs that have been squirreled away by individual residents. Moonshine can still be acquired by those in desperate need.OOC NOTES — UPDATES Don't forget to report updates as they come up! Changes to locations (like toppling a few bookshelves in the library), big plots you have coming up that will affect the game (parties, major property destruction, etc), or exciting discoveries that may tie into the game's mythology (even the things provided by the mod) are very helpful to have in one place so relevant page updates can be made. IC events are also helpful to know about in advance so they can be included in the log write-ups.
— MOD STATUS My non-RP life is busy and chaotic and I continue to ask for your forgiveness and understanding as game things continue to be slower, as I cannot promise timely mod responses beyond weekends and even that is not wholly guaranteed.
— ITEMS FROM HOME All items from home that characters would normally possess have vanished for this log and will return in the next. This includes clothing and possessions they had when they arrived in Mathias, items that were found in the rain, and items that were found in Baneberry Hall and removed from the property. Items from home that were left behind by other characters no longer in the game have also vanished. (All other items and clothing still remain, it is only items from characters' homes that have disappeared.)
— BANEBERRY ITEMS The items from home that were not removed from Baneberry Hall in the last log have vanished from the property. These items will not reappear in the next log. (Please be sure to comment in the appropriate spot on those logs about the state of your character's item for inventory purposes, ie whether they were removed from the property or left behind.)
— ACTIVITY CHECK Beginning with June's AC (posted at the start of July), all tags that consist of only dialogue will count as 0.5 points, not just those that occur in an inbox thread — this applies to both AC and AP totals. This adjustment is an extension of what has been in place since the start of the game: that all dialogue-only inbox tags counted for a half-point. Since such tags have occurred regularly in log threads as well, the half-point status is simply being extended to all tags regardless of location in order to be fairer in point distribution. (Examples will be provided in the AC post to assist with proper counting.)
no subject
[ did she put him in some vegetative state? while elijah did deserve it in the moment (he was terrifying and he was intense, and elena couldn't bear to possibly lose at the time), she doesn't think it's right. it's what makes all of her decisions so fucking hard sometimes. ]
Could you hear everything? Feel anything?
no subject
( namely someone taking the dagger out of him. )
Besides, even if If was aware, I was inside a coffin and that coffin was usually somewhere deep and dark and dank. There was nothing for me to hear.
no subject
That sounds... kind of what I felt immortality would be like.
[ something that felt claustrophobic and trapping. ]
no subject
( when you were immortal, your life was time's, in elijah's opinion. he sighs. )
It's watching people you love live and die. It's dark.
no subject
So, if you had your choice to be anything, what would you be? Stay a vampire? Be a werewolf? Elf? Mermaid?
[ there's a little pep to her voice now. elena's genuinely curious. would he stay as he is? become a human? choose to be some other strange mythical creature? ]
no subject
( and imagining is just depressing. he's an original vampire and that's what he'll always be.
sorry to be a party pooper, elena. )
no subject
[ elijah, sometimes, is very much the old man he truly is. elena sighs, but she isn't dejected. she's determined. after all, he's the one who forgets who she is: determinedly stupid elena gilbert. ]
I wanted to be a fairy when I was a kid. I wanted to collect teeth, so I used to try and take Jeremy's when he was losing them.
no subject
( he really has to ask because there's not much you can do with teeth. )
Just to have them?
no subject
[ she chuckles. perhaps he hasn't been around children over the last few centuries. ]
When you lose a tooth, the tooth fairy comes and collects it and leaves you a dollar. I wanted to collect all his teeth so that I could... [ she smiles, ducking her head even though he can't see it. then sheepishly, ] I wanted his money.
no subject
( he doesn't say that with any sort of judgment there. he actually laughs, giving his head a shake as he does. )
Did it work?
no subject
[ she's admittedly a little embarrassed by how horrible she was as a kid… and how opportunistic she was, too. perhaps she really is the villain. but she recalls the story with a fond tone. ]
And then my mom figured it out. I used to put his teeth under my bed and my dad fell for it a few times, but then… My mom figured it out when she realised that I wasn't losing any teeth. I don't know how I got away with it.
[ she chuckles. snip, snip, snip of his hair. ]
I know, I'm a horrible person.
no subject
( kind of terrible as well but it makes him laugh, giving his head a shake. )
How much money did you actually make from this scheme of yours?
( he hopes she'd spent anything she made before her parents caught on so she couldn't give it back. )
no subject
[ she laughs then, brushing her fingers through his hair to try and dislodge any of the now cut strands from clinging to the rest of his head. it'd felt like a massive feat back then to a very young elena. ]
Apparently trying to tie a string to Jeremy's teeth and a doorknob was the downfall to my criminal career. [ she chuckles. ] I got greedy.
no subject
( he knows plenty well that that's some old fashioned way of removing teeth. it's funny to try and picture elena and her brother, both young, letting htis happen. )
Did you get into trouble?
no subject
[ she chuckles sheepishly, pressing her fingertips against the back of his head to make him tilt his chin down. it's then that she takes her scissors to his hair, concentrating for just a moment. ]
I will completely understand if you do not trust me near your teeth any time soon.
no subject
If you get near my teeth, I'll have to bite you.
( it's only fair, elena. )
