[OOC: Some of you may remember this post, we got the go ahead, all who replied and new people very welcome! Just let me know what your character will be doing! Handwave is fine as well, let me know! Further plotting of all kinds welcome! CONCERNED CITIZENS UNITE!]

I'm sick of tiptoeing around the water. It's time we took it back.

Anyone who has pictures, video, any evidence about those wiseguys dumping chemicals into the water, let's start sending them out to the media.It has to be anonymous, careful, and all at once. How is up to you. Send them to environmentalist groups and anyone else you can think of too-- let's see them try to keep everyone quiet.

I have a few media contacts and I know there are others. If you think you can help, let everyone know.

We might not know what it is, but we can let people know something's going on. If everyone's watching the site, they'll have to explain themselves or stop.

Nick's volunteered to get prepaid phones and voice changers for anyone who wants to do anonymous phone tips. Text him if you're up for it. Keep it casual.

Shou, you still up for this?

[Visual connection comes on to Cinderella, head held high, smiling a horsey smile.

In her usual lilt is an extra bounce and force of inflection - a bit of a tone of excitement.]


Hello~o, everybody - and how do you do?

Mister Arthur and I have been chatting - a~and it would seem that there's a holiday this weekend - no?

Well. It just so happens that my masters are going out of town from Friday evening to Monday. And so if nobody has any plans, well - hm~!

It - [Takes a breath to fill with would be our absolute pleasure to invite you all for a garden party of sorts - right here, at the Bell family house, at - [Taps a hoof a couple of times to recall.] - two-sixty Saffron Way. In the back of the house, out at my pasture! ...Couldn't give you a key, I'm afraid, but. You're certainly free to hop the fence~ It's been done before.

Oh, there'll be no need to R.S.V.P. - merely drop by Saturday afternoon, at your convenience! But! Can we ask for a few volunteers to bring food for the occasion? -- There will be food, we promise you that, but, well - [Picks up high.] Mister Arthur alone can surely only provide for such a big group, now, can't he?

And do be ready to clean up after yourselves as you must, heaven knows that it's out of the question for me to cover if my masters come home to a mess in the garden.

Once again, that's - Saturday afternoon, 260 Saffron Way. Back of the big blue house. Now, who can we expect to see here? We'll take any questions, too, obviously~!

[She cocks her head slightly and perks an ear - after another beat she turns a little and winks, before standing back from the feed.]

So.

Superpowers. New skills. Things you never used to do before.

There's been a whole lot of talk about that lately so I was thinking of making a directory for that kind of stuff. You need something specific, you can call person-who-is-perfect-for-the-job, like the yellow pages but for all your superhuman needs.

Besides, you never know when what you've got would come in handy in some kind of crisis. Like healers, if there are people who can do that around here, though that'd be useful any day.

You don't need to give your real name. Hell I'M not using my real name. Just leave your superhuman ability (or abilities) here with details, whatever name you're going by on the network, your number if you want, a short blurb like what you're willing to do or how much control you have or w/e and I'll do the rest.

I'll start: I can summon water balls out of nowhere and destroy the crap out of anyone in a water balloon fight. I can only "summon" only one at a time and I tend to get tired after about 7 of them. But they're destructive and I broke a few things with them so I wont be using them in a balloon fight anyway. So you can forget about asking me to toss one at someone you don't like or at your pet so you don't have to give them a bath yourself. Big things though like if your house is burning down, a fire-breathing dragon, or Thunder Corp related, I'm there.

[Aware that there are people who can't read his handwriting, Alex has decided to suck it up and use audio.]

Man, I got two real bummers of pull, pul-sez in a row. It sucked.

En-nee, anyway, I'd like to find someone to practice, like, sparring-ing with, so I can get used to using this-- my tail. [He has to consciously remember to say 'my.' It's obviously his tail, but he's been resisting thinking of it that way.]

Not that Mamoru's classes aren't great, but y'know, I'm sort of, um. A spesh, special case.

So... I didn't really want to use the network for this, but didn't know where else to ask.

[Anyone who has ever spoken to him before will notice he sounds considerably more British.]

Is there anywhere to get a sword? I suppose either a place in the city or online would work. Both are equally suspicious, since swords are so relevant in this day and age.

[Because clearly getting a gun would be far too reasonable.]

Okay, either someone remodeled my bathroom while I wasn't looking, or I just won another prize from the crazy past life lottery thing.

[Attached is an image of a somewhat spacious wood-walled bath. Steam drifts lazily from the surface of the water, indicating that it's heated.]

Personally, I'm not gonna complain about this one, since I might need to relax after the water starts being drinkable without laughing for hours on end afterwards.

[The voice speaking is smooth and arm, if a little tinged with nervousness. It might be possible to recognize it, if you listen to evening news radio.]

I swear I've been dreaming about those numbers, and--oh. Well, then. This is new. Did I turn on voice commands somehow? That would be spectacularly bizarre, given that I don't even have my microphone plugged in.

Well, it seems to be recording me somehow, and I suppose that I'm no stranger to being recorded.

[He takes a deep breath, then resumes, tone more even and controlled.]

Good evening, and if anyone's actually listening, I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me what you've done to my computer, or at least choose a more subtle method of listening in on me. I do rather need access to my computer. I hope you'll understand. Maybe try a hidden microphone in the bathroom? I believe that's traditional.

...Am I actually trying to reason with a computer virus?

Acting up behind the cut. )

[There's a message in Anthony's writing approximately two hours after that last transmission.]

Hello.

I am sorry to be trouble, but I am going to need help finding a place to settle out of the sight of any person who is not one of us. If possible, it would be better if it can be soon. I do not want anyone to see me turn the next time that it happens.

I am grateful for anything that you can tell me.

I also apologize for panicking earlier, and if I disturbed anyone with it. There was nothing to be afraid of.

That is everything that I would like to say. Thank you.

[Maya looks... strained.]

If any of you work in a morgue, or in law enforcement, if you'd be so kind as to send me a private message, I'd appreciate a great deal.

... the rest of you, if you have loved ones who are not part of this, I... give them a big hug. Or call them. Write them. They... they're targeting our families, now.

[ she pauses, looking out of a window. In the background, one of her cats jumps on a windowsill.]

Right um, first things first. I think a few of you actually responded to the ad I put out for a photoshoot. If I could have your phone numbers, please, that'd be helpful. Also, if you could all write me up invoices for payment... I can provide templates if you need.

And...

...

Finally, as you can see, I have a very spacious house, lots of rooms. If... if any of you need a place to stay, for whatever reason, my home is open to you. I've cleaned up the spare rooms and even cleared out a few that I was just using for storage... you'll need to take care of chores and help out around the house, that'd be lovely. I think all told if we count what used to be the first floor storage room I've got seven rooms free, and if you all don't mind being room-mates I have room for more. Bathroom space will probably be at a premium though, as there's only three of those...

It's a large, empty house, is what I'm saying. My ex husband wanted a big family. I... did not.

[A grim smile]

But I won that divorce settlement.

... that's all.

It is my professional opinion that now is the time to PANIC! )

[OOC: So my original plans for the execution of this Mystery Event have been foiled by RL imposing on the other player, so here's the improvisational version. Feel free to try to get information or give advice, but PM/ping/PP me if you want your character to actually join in. Any action stuff I want to do in a single thread, probably with one or maybe two other characters. I have no clear idea, at this point, how this is all going to go down, but acto the mods' message Fred's mom'll end up dead within about a day no matter what happens.]

This network thing appearing in her word doc? Yea, that's way new. It takes her a moment before she tentatively starts typing.]

I can honestly say I wasn't really expecting that. I guess everyone on here can see this, huh? I'm kind of looking over things and I'll try to catch up on my own, but it looks like there's a lot here so it might take me a while.

[The webcam feed opens to show Hajime's darkened apartment. The lights are off, the curtains are drawn, and a hulking figure can be seen moving around in the shadows. He's moving too fast and too much to get a clear look at him for very long, though the green orb on his chest is slightly luminescent. He's so distraught, he hasn't realized he even activated the webcam. He thought he was just switching on the mic for audio.]

I...I can't stay here. I can't let anyone find me like this. But I don't think I can get out of here on my own without anyone seeing me...

[Hajime is doing his best to keep his voice calm, but there's no denying the fact that he sounds quite shaken. It's still recognizable as his voice, although it sounds a little rougher than usual.]

I changed. I...tried to fight it, but...it...it was just like I remembered...and I can't hide the belt anymore, not that it matters...

[He is this close to having a massive freakout right then and there. Staying calm after turning into some kind of a bug monster is really hard, especially when you were normal--or as close to normal as Hajime gets these days--an hour ago. He's going through the room, trying to figure out what, if anything, he'll be bringing with him when he leaves. It's at this point that he realizes the webcam's on, and a green, clawed, and definitely inhuman hand will reach out to cover it.]

Right, so, starting out in my usual way of warmups with too much exposition as to my exact circumstances at current -- trying to remind myself of the dream I had when I was thirteen exactly by exactly copying out the contents of the journal I made that night.

So...

#2027952

February 7, 1966

Dear Diary: Last night I had the strangest dream, the most wonderfully clear dream, about a golden room with great stained glass windows, and a test I had to take to--


[there's a great big ink stain here and then actually some significant time passes as Maya reads all the text suddenly in her nice new notebook. At least an hour.]

Well.

If it weren't for the fact that this fully navigable website appeared in a perfectly ordinary leather-bound notebook, I would dismiss it as a particularly inspired ARG. But as it stands, this appeared in a notebook. I normally consider myself quite a skeptic but well. This, I believe, qualifies as extraordinary proof.

I think I met some of you at the convention the other day. My name is Maya Aaronson. I've at least gathered from your entries that this is a secret network of some sort, that some of you are experiencing physical and mental changes that seem impossible (but again, you've provided extremely compelling evidence) and that there's... something out there.

Could someone provide me with a little more detail?

Who: NERRRRRDS. But basically everyone who would want to go to a science fiction convention. Also, Maya Aaronson, famous science fiction author.
What: LockCon, Locke City's science fiction convention! The name is a pun. Isn't it great???
Where: The Locke City Westin Hotel.
When: Semi-backdated; LockCon takes place July 12 - July 14 this year.

This is OPEN TO EVERYONE and intended as a fun casual way for people to get CR. Feel free to backtag and backdate stuff, even if your character hasn't formally introduced themselves to the network yet (as long as they've been accepted to the game is probably fine)

A more wretched hive of dork and nerdery... )
