hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Hills Are Silent

Who: Everyone!
What: The Silent Hill event
Where: Throughout the city
When: June 15th-20th
Warnings: Silent Hill comes to Hadriel, and with it, a few personalized monsters

On the morning of June 15th, a thick fog rolls into Hadriel. There's nothing quite terrifying about it yet, but it manages to drain the city of color, forcing a grey backdrop onto everything behind it. Feel free to go try to check it out if you want, just be careful, because it won't be too long until the sirens start blaring.

There's not exactly a reasonable explanation for where the sound is coming from: Hadriel doesn't have a speaker system, or any warning sirens in place for when something horrible happens. But you'd better find cover quickly, because shortly after the sirens start wailing, the city begins to change. Walls and furniture start to peel, revealing a bloody, hellish version of the city that you once knew. In addition, the monsters from the bestiary will roam the city, as well as a few other monsters that might hit a little closer to home.

Some characters may run into monsters which embody their own sins or insecurities. Some characters may be pursued by their friends' hellish mirrors. One thing is clear: you don't want any of these things catching you. Luckily, it isn't long before Hope makes a post, declaring the god temples as safe zones from all the creatures that are now loose upon the city.

The sirens will fade within a few hours, and the city will fall back to normal, the monsters will retreat back into the fog as if they were never there, and everything seems to be fine again, as if that terrifying experience was just some kind of twisted dream. You can tell yourself that, if you like... but that won't help much the next time the sirens start again.

[There's a man carrying a lumpy sack approaching the temple. His shirt, vest and slacks have seen better days but otherwise he looks uninjured. His general agitations is replaced by something a little more like muddled shame. Victor's unsure why he feels this way. After ransacking a few store fronts for non perishables, or as close as he can get to those, his mood has dropped considerably.

He drops the sack to the first person he finds at the temple and mutters his words.]

Food for whoever.

[Maketh looks up from her notebook with a frown. She recognizes this man from the network post, though she doesn't know his name.] Give me an inventory.

[This is going to be done correctly, if it's to be done at all.]

[Oh, it's her. Victor can't get up the anger at the moment to go off and besides, now is not the time. He shrugs at the question about inventory. He had tried to keep track but the more he stole the more ashamed of it he became and the less track he kept of it for his own sanity.

His tone is more defeated than anything else at the moment.]

A lot of cans and processed stuff. A lot of food I didn't recognize but it was with the other food so it may be editable. Look, I didn't exactly keep track when I ransacked a food store like some low class thug, okay? I was just looking for something to eat and found more than I needed so I figured "what the hell" and brought it here. You guys said you were keeping people safe here and you were going to make sure they get to eat, right?

Whoever was here originally is long dead. It's not stealing.

[Not that it would matter one way or another. They have to survive. There's very little Maketh won't do to see that through.]

Nonetheless. Your efforts are appreciated.

[Normally Victor could get behind that sort of logic. He's not a fan of theft but this is a unique circumstance. Still, the stores do have a certain effect on those who steal. So it had the benefit of keeping his mood subdued.]

Whatever, just make sure people get it. If you run short just do another of those small motion pictures and I'll find my way back.

[Motion picture...? Oh. Maketh exhales slowly. Something about this man annoys her. Thus far he's done nothing to earn it. She simply dislikes him, perhaps unfairly.] Your efforts are appreciated, sir.

At least someone appreciates it.

[He turns to walk off then stops, thinking better on just leaving it at that.]

Oh, yeah, keep up the good work. And, uh, watch your backs it's getting worse out there.

[Maketh nods just once.] We do what we must. Stay alive.

That's the one thing I can promise.

[And with that, he heads back out into the fog. He needs to get his energy back and to shake whatever it was that came over him recently. It's bound to drive him nuts being subdued like this.]
