SILENT HIL PLOT: FOG EDITION

[yardbird]

CHARACTERS: ALL OF YOU SICK-MINDED MOTHERFUCKERS.
LOCATION: THE TRANQUILITY: FOG-WORLD EDITION.
WARNINGS: SURE IS FOGGY HERE, HUH?
(Also, you know. Horror. In space. With Silent Hill. That's always a recipe for Friendship Is Magic, right?)
SUMMARY: WELL, YOU'RE PROBABLY JUST WANDERIN' AROUND
WHEN SOMETHING DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION,
YOU CRASH INTO THE GROUND AND THEN YOU WAKE UP
IN A PARALLEL DIMENTION...

OOC: Okay! To make this easier, I am going to split this up into two catch-all logs. This event takes place within the span of September 26 through October 3rd, so maybe include the day in the subject line. If you plan on shifting between the worlds in the middle of a thread, it might be a good idea to add a link when starting a new thread in the other log (but it's not mandatory. Do whatever works for you!).

Characters who wind up in the fog world will either find themselves simply waking up to it, or walking when suddenly it becomes strangely more difficult to navigate the hallways. Hmmm... the lock is broken, you cannot open it. What more, they will find that their devices aren't working properly. The video feed is mostly snow. Audio kind of works, though! So you're free to give that a whirl.

Those who were not drawn in by the siren call of Silent Hill will not be able to physically interact with any of the characters stuck in the fog or Otherworld. To those in the real world, they simply vanished, and may find traces of them via unclear radio static on the communicators or catch ghostly glimpses of the missing people wandering the ship. But that's it. Ooh, spooky...

Monsters can appear in the fog world, but there are significantly less of them. You're probably likely to only run into a few of them. Other than that, you're almost safe here. Almost. Things are just unsettling and foggy and doesn't look quite right. But you never know when things might transition into the Otherworld, so be careful.

By the by, now might be a good time to stock up.

[ frodo does so, hand on sting, looking at him more with disbelief than actual compliance. ]

No, Captain. You cannot hope to win against them!

[he's taking a step back. captain kirk has been kind to him, strange but kind. he would not see someone he has come to trust on the ship coming to harm needlessly.

they shriek from the fog and frodo drops sting, hand curling into his shoulder in pain. he crouches, reaches for the hilt and keeps one hand to his shoulder. the fog is growing thicker, and even jim's form seems foggier than it was before. ]

All we can do is run!

[Frodo's voice is muffled, and though Jim strains to see through the fog, his phaser following an invisible foe that he can't quite focus on (and that's terrifying enough), he's aware enough to know something else is wrong.

he glances back when he hears sting hit the ground, and he jolts forward to help the hobbit back to his feet-

unfortunately this fog had better ideas, and when he feels the rush of something passing by him quickly Jim whirls and opens fire on nothing. it briefly lights up the corridor, but with the heaviness of the fog, it does little.]

Frodo! [he's lost sight of the hobbit, and he tries to look for him without lowering his weapon] Frodo!

[ringbearer]

[ he can still hear jim calling for him, and frodo looks around him, fog on all sides. he can almost see the red eyes burning hungrily in the dark, whispers of halfling, baggins..--perhaps it's his mind playing tricks. still, he calls to the captain, because while he was untrustful at first, he is some manner of friend and he would not have him fear for him though there is so much to fear. ]

I'll be alright, Captain!

[ and it's unfortunate that jim knows of him, knows some measure of his story for frodo has not really been alright from the beginning, and now he knows there is familiar danger following him and yet what else could he say but that? reaching for sting he turns on his heel and starts running in the opposite direction, until his ragged breathing becomes faint and then there is nothing. the shrieks begin to go in the direction his voice was last heard.]

[goldshirt]

[he loses Frodo in the fog, and no sooner has the boy disappeared the shadows filter away. I'll be alright his disembodied voice had said; but Kirk knows differently. knows just what Frodo will do to keep that ring and his friends safe.

he lowers his phaser after a moment.] Damnit. [back to square one.]
