[As soon as they had noticed the first signs of something going wrong, their little group had scattered as effectively as possible to minimise the risk of anyone being hurt if they further lost control. Not that Sherlock has felt like he's losing control; in fact, he barely noticed a difference until near lunch time when his normally loquacious tongue only seemed capable of the most banal of statements.

He's been practising to himself for nearly an hour before he finally turns to the network. He wants data, he wants to know who is suffering what, but mostly... he wants the reassurance that this is happening to other people as well. He doesn't want to be the only one, to watch the degeneration of his own mind is a horrific thing, but he can cope if he knows it's temporary. If he knows it's just one of the mind games this place is playing on all of them, not just... not his own brain betraying him.

He chooses text partially because it's his preferred medium, but mostly because he wants to see if his language is any better written than it is spoken. The answer, fairly quickly, is evidently not.]


Words bad.

[Words bad? Words bad? That's truly atrocious. He concentrates hard, he wants to say: A deterioration of the ability to express myself through verbal and written communication has been observed, something which has declined rapidly within the span of only a few hours. Comparison with other residents who may be suffering the same degeneration may provide further insight. Respond below.

What ends up coming over the network, however:]


Other people words bad? Not alone, please. Bit not good.
 
 
There's an extremely important poll I need everyone to participate in right now.

What's cooler, a space pirate or wizard?

Your answers--should they be correct--will help immensely. Thank you.

[A pause.]

Also I'm really glad that you guys got out of Torturecorp. Offer's always on the table for music trades.

[ How the hell did he let a day go by? ...well. Disorientation, panic, freaky shadows literally shadowing him -- there are excuses. They're just pretty crummy.

Time to face the world. ]


If you're an obit-stalker, you probably know this already, but I'm alive, okay, and unlike SOME PEOPLE, actually kept my memories.

Except I have no freaking clue where I am. Like, I KNOW I'm in the fire station, but I have NO IDEA where that is. It's like my mental map of this place has been completely scrambled. Kind of not great if I want to avoid getting locked out again.


[ This applies to indoors as well, but the general populace doesn't need to know he's getting lost in the buildings themselves. ]

Is anyone nearby? I'm gonna need a guide until this wears off.

And does anybody know where Dumpy is? If he's okay?
 
 
[There's a vague, jittery mess of video before the feed steadies in a sudden jolt--presumably being set down on some surface, from the look of it. Halfway in frame is a shadow cast across a wall: not particularly remarkable, until a more distinctive Magenta-shaped shadow shuffles into frame beside it, though the man himself remains off-camera.]

Made a friend, I think.

[The unknown shadow doesn't move or acknowledge that it's being acknowledged.]

Doesn't seem especially--especially unfriendly, really? Hasn't hurt me so far. I have a headache, but I always have a headache. He just let himself right in behind me. Does anyone know him? Or her, I reckon. They seem like they want to get real close and cozy with me. Maybe they're cold? I would be cold, too, if I were like this.

[A pause. Magenta appears to adjust his hat.]

I'm namin' 'em Mickey. Any objections to that?
 
 
Right. I just want to be clear given that obituary. I don't know you people. I've never met any of you. Yes, I've seen some of the logs and I've read through your guides, so don't bother telling me to do that. I don't know what the hell you're playing at or how you managed to get audio and video footage of me like that, but I'm not indulging you.

My name is Dr. John Watson. If you require medical advice, I can provide it. Otherwise, I'm a bit busy. Thank you.
 
 
Hello everyone! I'm sorry if this seems kind of like an odd time for a game...I know a lot of people probably won't be in the mood, but I was hoping that some people might want to play with me? I'm trying to, like, get my mind off of what just happened. I know I could really use the distraction.

[So, it goes to serve that maybe some other people will, too. She just hopes nobody will get offended--like she said, it's an odd time. But, well, sometimes something lighthearted is just what you need to chase away the horror. It's worth a shot.]

I was thinking we could play some rounds of f/m/k
which stands for fuck, marry, kill (sorry for swearing!!!)

The whole idea is that you give three names, and you have to assign one to each name, who would you choose for each one. It's all just fun! It can be really challenging depending on what names you decide! I'll start, but let me know if you have any questions okay?

Oh! And if you're involving anyone younger, how about a tamer version of kiss, pinky promise, punch?
 
 
[ He's woken up to the sight of an opened zipper over his head, framing his view of the ceiling with its teeth. It doesn't take a lot of investigation to figure out that he's in a bag, and the realization is more than enough to spur him into action-- Vasquez sits up abruptly, ignoring the stiffness in his joints as he gets moving. Clearly, he's done a whole lot of nothing for a while, and waking up somewhere new only adds to his confusion. Where exactly was he, anyway? This...didn't look like the inside of any building he'd been in, and he gets the feeling that he shouldn't be here for very long. It's not exactly welcoming, and he's pretty okay with the idea of getting the hell out of here before he figures out why. ]
[ Eventually, once he's left the building as per the not-so-subtle instructions plastered on his tablet screen, he gets on the network. He starts out by clearing his throat, and there's the faint rustling of fabric as he gives himself a quick once-over to make sure nothing's too drastically out of place. He doesn't feel any different yet, so maybe everything's okay? Being optimistic might also be a terrible idea. ]


Got two questions for you all. What day is it, and what's the situation here in hell? I'm a little-- out of the loop, if I'm gonna be honest.

[ Being dead will do that to you. The sound of snow crunching underfoot fills the pause Vasquez leaves; he's moving to...somewhere. He'll have to figure that one out later, although perhaps a little more soon-ish so he doesn't wind up dying by damn exposure again. He's going to make a point to avoid doing so in the future. ]

Well, it doesn't look like everything's burned to the ground from here, so I'm assuming we haven't seen a second apocalypse, or...whatever fucked this place up to begin with. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Characters: Stephanie Brown, Stephen Strange, Alphonse Elric, Hugo Vasquez
Location: AAB8 - 271
Date: Day 229
Summary: Event Shenanigans and a Reunion
Warnings: In comment subjects, please!

271: A small, enclosed bus stop that probably serviced the building inside the fence back when things weren't abandoned. The bus stop is enclosed completely in glass, making it possible to spend the night here, though the benches are a little uncomfortable to sleep on. Interestingly, the lights here still work, on and off--at night, the lights flicker on and off at random, which may also make it difficult to sleep. The vending machines here are smashed open, but food and drinks are still placed inside them. They do not restock when people are staying here, so make sure you don't run yourself out of food! "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN, FOR ANY ASSISTANCE PLEASE CONTACT @LELRIC." is written on a wall.
