hadriel_logs | Event Log: The Beach Episode

Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the transition to our new planet!
Where: The city, which has now been fragmented onto four separate islands.
When: May 27th-June 10th
Warnings: Surf's up! If by 'surf', you mean separation from your friends, weird sea creatures, and cold rainfall.

The sun and the sand and a drink in your hand- well, it all sounded pretty nice when you voted for the island planet, but ultimately what you're getting is a bit less glamorous.

The transition takes place instantaneously, with very little noteworthy shakeup, though those of you who are particularly in-tune with the supernatural may feel a bit dizzied or nauseated by the sudden movement. And that's exactly what it is: for those of you who are outside, the change is fairly noticeable, as in the span of a single blink, what used to be miles of desert is now rocky ocean. The city is simply in one place one moment, and then somewhere entirely new a second later.

And that somewhere new is exciting! The islands have plenty of landscape to explore and weather conditions to adjust to, fish to catch, and- wait, how do you get to the other islands? What if your friends or your home or the bar is on these other islands? Enjoy having to figure out who is where and how you're going to get by with only a small fraction of the city to work off of- hopefully those boats will come sooner rather than later...

[girls can't and shouldn't count on the protection of men, that's the problem]

I might be. Caedra, if she kills anyone again. I heard that the gods fucked with her powers, I might be able to stick an arrow between her eyes now.

[she's also been taking herself to the orchard, practicing hitting smaller and smaller targets. she'll need to find a new practice zone now that the orchard is inaccessible, but she'll manage]

[Kelson didn't disagree that men could not be everywhere and could not often protect the women they were supposed to, but that didn't mean women should take up arms.]

If I were you, I would be very careful going up against someone like Caedra, even if her powers were tampered with. I speak from experience, Laura. Not with Caedra, but someone like her. Make sure you're ready. Or you will die.

[that's exactly what it does mean]

I won't die.

[she says with utter confidence]

Everyone dies. Be careful. And if you can, hide. Or get back up.

[Preferably him.]

[Laura smiles and he'll be able to hear it through the call]

Well. I might have a little secret weapon. A ring. It kept BOB from possessing me or killing me himself and it kept Caedra from killing me when we first met.

I hope it keeps on protecting you then. Is it some kind of holy relic? How does it work?

I honestly have no idea how it works. It was kind of thrown at me in the boxcar where BOB had taken me. I saw it earlier than that, though. Some guy wearing it cornered me and my dad on the road right before I died. He kept yelling at us, but I couldn't tell what he was saying 'cause my dad was revving the engine too loud. Now that I think about it, he was probably trying to tell me that BOB was my father.

[Kelson did a double take, even if Laura couldn't see him.]

I'm sorry, what? The demon is your father?

[Well that was a rather poor family tree wasn't it?]

Edited 2018-07-11 20:50 (UTC)

[...shit]

Not. Exactly. The demon possessed my father.

........when you were conceived or after?

Before. [she stops to consider] I think.

Before? My God.

[Kelson was quite unable to keep the shock out of his voice.]

Well, I know he was already possessed when I was a little girl.

[please don't ask her how she knows]

[Kelson did not ask. He could use his imagination and winced.]

You did not have the childhood I would have wished for you.

[she said too much]

Really? That's funny. People looking from the outside, they thought I had the perfect life.

It's always different looking in though. You can't tell much from the outside. So much of it might be a facade.

Yeah. Boy, would I know something about that.
