[log] poorly managed arctic zoo [closed]
Characters: Davesprite, the Cat, Jade, and Brian/Hoody
Location Houses 34, 35, and 37
Date: Day 157 evening + all day 158 + at least part of 159
Summary: Dog girl and hood man run into a crow and a cat, awkward travel ensues. Then event weirdness.
Warnings: Nothing planned. Individual warnings can go on threads if the need arises.
HOUSE 34: Most of this house is in ruins--to get to the door requires walking over some rubble of the ruined house, although it seems like someone has moved the worst of it, allowing easier access to the house. The intact door leads to two intact rooms, and therefore it can be used as an overnight shelter. The door opens to a master bedroom with a large mattress and a thick comforter--too thick to carry without trouble, but nice for staying overnight here. The master bedroom is attached to a functioning master bathroom; the most important thing to note here is that it has a working shower with about ten minutes of hot water every day. One nightstand has been broken apart and burned. Written on the wall is "EMERGENCY RATIONS IN NIGHTSTAND. MEETING DAY 67, HOUSE TO NORTHWEST. CONTACT @CMDRSHEPARD". Carved on the wall is "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY NINETY-FIVE, TRAVELLING NORTH. IF ANY ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED CONTACT @LELRIC ANY TIME". One of the cabinets is marked with an X made of blue painter's tape. The following is written in blue ink on the wall: "This is Building 52 on the composite map. Medical assistance and hot, clean water available here. Toiletry supplies in bathroom cabinets. Contact @CaptSteveRogers for details." Underneath this is a pretty accurate map showing the house in relation to the west snow wall, the funeral home, the park, the convenience store, the school and athletic shed, and buildings 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 31, 35, and 37. House 35 is labeled "Extra supplies in kitchen cabinets." The snow wall is labeled "Snow wall." The park is labeled "Park." The convenience store is labeled "Convenience store; unlike store in northeast this is not a source of food." The school is labeled "School. Food available in cafeteria; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT." The athletic shed is labeled "Shed". The funeral home is labeled "UNSAFE; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT."
HOUSE 35: The second floor of this house has collapsed, but it forms a good seal against the elements and the ceiling of the first floor has yet to collapse, so it's still serviceable as an overnight shelter. There is a small kitchen and living room with basic furniture, though no electronics or appliances. Small, finger-sized holes have been cut into the couch cushions. There are some small dents and scuffs on the walls of the kitchen. A small snow fort has been built outside. One of the cabinets is marked with an X made of blue painter's tape. A few splintered remains of a chair have been stuffed into one of the cabinets. On the chair is a note: "Feel free to use as you see fit : )! Be careful of splinters!" There are snails drawn in the margins of the page. Carved on the wall is "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY NINETY-FIVE, TRAVELLING NORTH. IF ANY ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED CONTACT @LELRIC ANY TIME". Carved on the wall is "ALFIE SOLOMONS, 1922. Camden Town, London, England, UK, Europe, Earth. Day 145, February 4".
HOUSE 37: While the kitchen of this two-story house has collapsed, there's a door sealing it off and making it suitable for staying in overnight. The living room is the only remaining room downstairs, while upstairs is a master bedroom, bathroom, and nursery. The crib has been taken apart, parts left in the corner of the robin's egg blue room. A rabbit mobile hangs over the space where the crib once sat, twisting and turning on its own from imperceptible shifts in the air around it. Delicately designed with carefully-drawn rabbits mounted on laminated poster board, it appears handmade. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY SEVEN, TRAVELLING SOUTH" has been carved into the living room wall. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, EDWARD ELRIC, GREED, DAY SEVENTY-TWO, TRAVELLING SOUTH-EAST. DEAR FORMER RESIDENT, WE ARE FRIENDS, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL YOU NEED TO HIDE FROM US. CONTACT LELRIC." has been written on the wall.

no subject
but for one your grandpa was a creepy science guy
and prospit and skaias sleepy dream time spy clouds were a legit part of the game
also
youre part first guardian but youre not insane
and rose was all involved with the horrorterrors and she went back to normal even after her grimdark festerbabble stint
[John had to have told him about that at some point during the trip.]
if you both turned out as normal as anyone involved with sburb can be then what does that say about your creepshow travel buddy
no subject
and this creature is more harmful than a horrorterror!
like....
[ She hesitates to out Brian as Unwell for a moment, but it's hard to miss the constant pill-popping. ]
being around it makes you prone to seizures [ And split personalities. ]
no subject
and yet you still trust him
?????
if you havent noticed none of us are wherever our home was either
he could have been a master filmmaker with a billion statues of the naked gold guy to his name
it doesnt change that i dont want him filming me here
[He budges his tail in closer against himself. Even with Jade he complained about her creepy robot, but he never had to deal with it sitting in the room with him, possibly under the influence of whatever it is that messed with Brian's mind. It's a whole order of magnitude in difference, to him.]
no subject
hes not in cahoots with it or anything :\
i swear he is harmless!! he just isnt very well socialized
[ It's weird how much she relates to this masked weirdo. ]
and a lot of the stuff he recorded has been pretty useful!
no subject
[Stuff like this is why he rates himself as an asshole, but here he is doing it anyway.]
you grew up on hellmurder island in the middle of the goddamn ocean and you still turned out better
just because some stuff hes recorded turned out useful doesnt mean he needs to record everything
can we acknowledge that point without caveats
no subject
it just seems like more trouble than its worth to stop him every time we run into people
[ The guy barely grasps the concept of friendship, okay. Baby steps. ]
no subject
but then again he couldnt comprehend turning the damn thing off so what do i know
[He is rolling his eyes so hard behind the shades right now. When he hadn't meant to encounter them, when his plans for good sleep have been interrupted, and when Brian is so patently Brian, there is not much patience left for the argument.]
no subject
well then id have to convince him that not recording everything makes sense!!
he can be....... stubborn
and if it makes him that anxious im ok with things being awkward sometimes
no subject
i didnt realize you picked up a defenseless child over these past months
everyone else can just sit and simmer because babys gotta be pampered
[It's easier to be angry about Brian than it is to talk about his real issues, that's why.]
no subject
ummmmm....
he obviously has some kind of mental disorder though?? a little accommodation seems reasonable
and i just dont understand why the camera thing is such a big deal???
like
its unsettling but thats about it
no subject
[Brian is another person who never asked permission, who can't wrap his head around the idea of even turning the camera off when asked, and it bugs him like a sleeping threat. It's not even that he minds being part bird, but it's easier to be comfortable with people knowing when that control is in his own hands. He can't do anything about what's on Brian's tablet.]
forget it
[He keeps his expression blank.]
