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.

[She hears the worry in his voice, so she reaches for his hand.] It'll be okay. We'll get out of here somehow, and things'll go back to normal.

[He gives her a startled look, and then a small, sad smile.] This is normal, Kaylee. At least for me it is.

[Kaylee looks concerned.] Really? All the time?

I mean, we got reavers back home, and criminal types. And the feds. But - this? All the time?
coffeeking: (but I don't wanna)

[personal profile] coffeeking 2012-10-18 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly. [He smiles, a little amused.]

I had a very interesting job. But to be honest, your world doesn't sound half boring either.
talkstoengines: (looking down)

Oh, it's not boring. It's just not scary all the damn time.

Sometimes we get to go to parties.
coffeeking: (shy eyes)

I really wish I could tell you this fog is leading us to a party, Kaylee. [He grimaces, wryly.]
talkstoengines: (so when you said...)

[personal profile] talkstoengines 2012-10-24 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be nice, wouldn't it? Maybe if we think positive thoughts, it won't be so bad?
coffeeking: (ruffled)

[personal profile] coffeeking 2012-11-07 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's never helped me before, but it's always worth a shot.

[Yes, happy thoughts. Jesus, Kaylee, how are you so optimistic?]
