PLAYER PLOT: fear is the mind-killer

[fullmoon]

CHARACTERS: You and all your least favorite things.
LOCATION: Shipwide.
WARNINGS: Violence, gore, monsters, psych trauma. (Please warn for any potential triggers—e.g. medical horror, eye stuff, recollection of past sexual trauma—in your subject lines.)
SUMMARY: Boggarts. See the plot post for a full timeline if you want to forward-date; otherwise, watch this space for updates.
NOTES: Whatever happens, however this ends, remember that it's Draco Malfoy's fault.

JAN 22

If you've been paying attention, you should already be on edge. Ward and Resnik have returned without many answers. There's the dead pirate again. The Tranquility is being pursued. People are talking about violent confrontation like it's inevitable, any cycle now. Any day. And now Morgoth is back, somewhere in the corridors.

If you keep an eye out, you won't find him. But you might find something else.

JAN 23

Never mind about Morgoth.

JAN 24

Despite very well-intended claims to the contrary (see above), the mounting evidence suggests that boggarts can be killed. Also, there's probably more than one. Sorry about that.

[black eye or not, there would have been nothing that could stop jasper from keeping the sec people away from raven if he'd seen even a hint of floating being a thing here (even if they were told it wasn't, that didn't mean it wasn't some sort of dirty little secret of this place, so he'd listened and he'd watched and he'd seen nothing)

granted he still thinks getting brigged for a fight in their own group verged on ridiculous, but at least it had given everyone a chance to calm down and stop hitting each other.

jasper nods in agreement with bellamy's suggestion, and at the unspoken motivation behind it.] I think Raven is still in engineering. She's got a few new people to train up on the parts. Saw Octavia near the lockers a little while ago. [wherein "saw"="ran away from fake reapers for a bit" but he's certainly not going to tell bellamy about that now.]

Not too sure about Clarke, to be honest.

[unguard]

[ His lips press into an unhappy line when Clarke's whereabouts remain unknown. The others he can take Jasper's word for, trust that he's seen them and that they really are alright. The latter, though... ]

I'll find her. Check up on her.

[ He decides finally, then nods his head toward the elevators. ]

You get somewhere safe, okay? Don't wander the halls. I don't want you to have to deal with this.

[jasper hadn't exactly wanted to admit he didn't know where clarke was, and not just for bellamy's sake. because jasper relied on clarke like he relied on bellamy, like he relied on raven now too. and he hadn't enjoyed seeing clarke (not clarke, not clarke) go through that airlock either.

but he also knew that bellamy would be able to find her, if he was looking. and he was kind of anxious to double check and make sure that raven was really in engineering like he'd said. jasper nods in agreement. he's not all that eager to have to deal with this thing either. the backlash from bellamy had been bad enough on it's own.]

Can you text me when you find her? Just to let me know she's okay?

[unguard]

[ He nods solemnly. ]

I will. I'll let you know as soon as I find her.

[ Which shouldn't take long. Honestly, it's like the pair of them have some kind of gravitational pull toward each other. Like magnets or something. ]

Just be careful.

[ Is his last order, before striding off to find Goldilocks. ]
