SILENT HIL PLOT: FOG EDITION

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.

For information/questions, refer to this post.

THAT LOG WITH LOTS OF NIGHTMARES AND OTHERWORLD STUFF GOING ON

[He thinks about that - Kirk is probably right, about the screaming, anyway. Then again, this has only just started.] Crane's fear gas. [He says it aloud, because he wants to make sure they're on the same page.]

That's the one. [at least, that's what Robin and them had called it, and having suffered the effects of it, he knew how accurate it was.]

This isn't that. I never experienced it myself, but you're right. [Blake sighs, rubbing his hand over his face.] And it wouldn't affect the communicators.

[as if reminded, Jim pulls out his communicator; it's still dead, though as they move through the fog a static kicks up that has Jim's brow creasing.]

That's new.

[Blake finally turns to look at him, frowning more deeply.] Never happened before? What kinds of things might disrupt the network like this?

Dead zones in the Tranquility can cause it. [which was- seriously worrisome, because how the hell far had they wandered, then? the last time this had happened they'd found that room...]

Dead zones. [Clearly, not exactly the same thing as a dead zone in Gotham - a break in cell phone service. Blake frowns down at his own communicator.] Do they move, too? Like the corridors?

It's possible. Since the corridors change, it's hard to keep it straight. [Jim looks up into the mist, but it's nearly impossible to see anything that isn't directly in front of his face. he can't shake this foreboding in his gut, though; like maybe that static wasn't a good sign.]
