Event Log: The Hills Are Silent

[hadrielmods]

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.

[Carrying Miriam doesn't pose as much of a task, especially when there's no struggle. Rey doesn't stop until they're at the stairs leading into the temple, at which she slows down her pace long enough to drop Miriam down in a less-than-elegant fashion.

[She is only a little out of breath, but Rey was always equipped to handle much farther distances and under more strenuous circumstances. Like being shot at, for example.]

You all right to stand?

[Miriam scrambles to her feet in answer, arms windmilling. Her heart is going crazy, but she's still alive. So it's fine, everything is fine. Barnaby whines, pressing his nose against her hand, and Miriam just sighs.

Okay. She's fine, everything is fine.]

T--thanks, lady...

[circumitus]

[She huffs.]

It's Rey, not "lady". [But that's besides the point.

[She gestures towards the temple entrance.] Get inside. It's supposedly safer in there.

[dogsanddaughters]

Yeah, okay. [She's not going to argue with that one. Miriam really wants to curl up somewhere and hug Barnaby tight.] Thanks. Uh huh. I'm going now.

[circumitus]

[Well, at least she isn't being asked to breathe fire again.]

You do that. And don't get yourself killed over feminine hygiene products.

[There are worse things to die over, but Rey would rather not dying at all. She certainly has no intentions of it, despite when she turns and heads off into the darkness of the city. It's chaos out there, but it's worth the risk, as far as she is concerned.]

[dogsanddaughters]

[Miriam can't help the giggle. Because seriously, that just happened. Oh god.] Nu-uh! Promise!

[That said, she turns and flees into the temple.]
