Event Log: Oh Shit (side A)

[hadrielmods]

Who: All the characters in Group A
What: The event log for Group A
Where: The left side of the city
When: The evening of March 28th-April 9th
Warnings: Loud noises, Silent Hill monsters, and also half your friends are gone

On the evening of March 28th, the good feelings that come along with Love's resurrection abruptly disappear. The lighting in the city flickers and goes dark, everything hooked up to the power grid loses all energy, and the network stops functioning. Very soon after, the city splits down the middle. Everyone on the left side of the city can look over and see nothing but a rock wall where the right side used to be - along with all of your friends that might have been over there. A few hours later, the network begins to function again, allowing you to check in with friends - but though within your half of the city it works fine, any contact with someone one the other half will be accompanied by a host of glitches and general communication difficulty.

On this side of the city, since Hope is here, the lights come back up quickly. The shops are still stocked with food, people are still resurrected when they die (though in Delight's temple, rather than Hope's), and things seem like they could continue as normal - except that on March 30th, anyone on this side of the city starts hearing strange noises. Loud, echoing sounds begin to come from outside the caves surrounding the city - thudding and drilling noises, loud enough in volume to be impossible to ignore. Shortly after that, Hope calls for help from the remaining residents: go with Rage and Delight into the caves, and use explosives provided by Rage (or your own powers) to collapse them.

There are, of course, still some monsters in the caves, though Hope's power keeps them from invading the city (the other group won't be so lucky). What's more, as you venture deeper into the caves, the drilling sounds get louder and more disruptive, until it's difficult to even think. But this is incredibly important - your lives all depend on it. You'd better just keep going.

For those who can't or don't want to venture into the caves, the city itself isn't entirely safe either. Fear needs power desperately, and so the gods have released their confinement of the Silent Hill Zone. Though it won't overcome the half-city again, there will be pockets of fog and Silent Hill monsters scattered throughout the city - all in the service of scaring you as much as possible. On top of that, with half the gods missing, Sorrow's garden begins to die, Tranquility's mopeds no longer run, Confusion's GPS has completely failed, and Love's brand new hot springs run dry.

Help out, run from monsters, get lost in the cave, worry about missing friends - just try not to let that drilling noise get under your skin. Something's coming. What are you going to do?
