Event Log: Jumpscares

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Jumpscares event
Where: All over the city!
When: May 16th-May 20th
Warnings: Some startling jumpscares, interdimensional demon cats, the usual


A dark shadow looms over Hadriel on the morning of May 16th. There's a tension in the air, something palpable, as if everything has gone still and is ready to snap. You've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for hours now, and you're getting to the point where you're starting to wish that it would just happen already so that you can stop feeling this way.

Of course, when it does happen, it's not quite like you expect.

Maybe it's a tiger leaping out of your closet, claws extended. Maybe it's a faceless slenderman, stepping out from around the corner or a monster with beak and claws ripping open your shower curtain when you're most vulnerable- but within seconds, after you've been startled half to death by the monsters, they're gone. They vanish in a puff of smoke, or dissipate into glitter, or become something silly instead for a few brief moments before disappearing entirely.

Weird. But not unendurable, I guess. The bright side is that there will also be a few demon cats that have also made their way through the door. No two cats are ever in the same location, but there seems to be enough of them to go around, though the toothy one can be a bit vicious. Still, they aren't untameable, and might make nice pets, as long as you don't mind a bloody finger or two when it's time for lunch!

[She pauses.]

Which part?

Trying to protect Grint's daughter.

No. I owed him that much.

[She didn't know Grint's daughter, had never met the girl. But it was something.]

[He nods, and gives her a small smile.]

You chose to do what was right instead of what was most beneficial to you.

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I--

[Maketh hesitates. She hadn't thought of it that way, not really.]

Oh. I see.

[He's glad she seems to get the conclusion so easily, and smiles a bit more.]

Good. I hope it's something you'll keep in mind.

[Even if the words are a little short, his tone is easy enough to read; that's one of those things he'd like her to think about and go over in her head a bit.

And then he hesitates briefly before changing the subject, much less confident about this than he had just been.]


I think I met someone else from your world, here.
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

[Maketh resists the urge to rub her eyes. Stars, she hopes it wasn't Hux. Kylo and Anakin can be explained if not excused. Hux is another matter all together.]

I suppose I should apologize for their manners. Which one?

[Yeah of course it would be the worst option.]

He was slightly taller than I am, with red hair.
mismanagement: (015)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maketh groans. Stars above.]

That would be Hux. What did he do this time?

[There are a lot of answers he could give that, although he'd brought up the topic in order to ask a specific question that he's suddenly unsure if he actually wants to ask. So he's silent for several seconds, mentally debating.]

He convinced me your world is in even greater need of therapists than I previously thought.

[It's dryly sarcastic, but he means it. It's also not what he'd been thinking about asking, obviously.]
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maketh raises an eyebrow. It doesn't explain what Hux did, precisely, but perhaps it doesn't need to.]

I see. If it means anything to you, we're not from the same time. He's--twenty years after me? I'm not sure. I went to the Academy with his father.

[She grimaces.]

Awful man. I'm amazed he lasted long enough to spawn.

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2017-05-19 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's not reassuring; that just means their world is that screwed up even after Maketh's time. And yeah, unfortunately terrible people have children far too often.]

I presume you and Hux aren't friends.

[He's getting that from her comments, but he wants to be totally sure first with a yes or no answer that he can be confident in telling if is the true or a lie.]
mismanagement: (003)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[By right, the answer should be easy. Hux was her enemy until suddenly he wasn't, and now they have conversations Maketh can't fathom with anyone else. Maketh takes a breath and lets it out slowly. She's aware of how it looks.]

We talk. I don't like him. He doesn't like me. But we understand each other.

[She looks away.]

He makes sense. And he doesn't feel sorry for me.

[As weird as it might seem to most people, Lance actually understands; it isn't a huge surprise, really. Being from the same world and a particular type of upbringing would create a bond of understanding that could be greatly important to both of them, even if they hate each other on a personal level.

The problem is, Lance isn't sure exactly how strong their dislike of each other actually is just yet, or whether the connection from understanding is the more important aspect of their relationship. This could also be a serious issue in regards to Maketh attempting to make changes in her outlook, but he'd have to be careful in how he says so.]


Relationships like that aren't uncommon.

[He starts off that way, choosing his words purposefully.]

But they're not always beneficial for both or either of the people involved.
mismanagement: (011)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
They're--not?

[She blinks, momentarily thrown by the first part. Hux isn't a good person, he's taken more lives than possibly anyone else in the cave and bragged about it. He serves what rose from the Empire's ashes - he's a war criminal if nothing else, violating the rules of proper engagement without a second thought. And worse, he did it openly. She ought to hate him and is quietly ashamed that she doesn't.]

I--explain, please.

[He's a little surprised but pleased that she's not being defensive about this, at least not yet.]

It's natural, to seek out familiarity. In a place like this where many people aren't even from the same world, it's even more understandable that those who are might stick together, even if they have personal animosity between them.
mismanagement: (003)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Now that he puts it like that, it makes sense. Hux makes sense to her. The reverse is true for him as well.]

You disapprove.
lifetothefullest: (sᴏᴍᴇᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ sᴜʀᴇ)

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2017-05-19 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I... Yes.

[No point in arguing that, even if he's trying to tread carefully here.]

I didn't speak with him for that long, but he seems to embody the traits you were interested in lessening in yourself.

[And so being around him is kind of detrimental to that process.]
mismanagement: (005)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maketh grimaces. He's not wrong, exactly.]

He has skills I need. We build weapons for the Guard.

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2017-05-19 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sounds all sorts of terrible, although it does give Lance a natural way to ask the question he'd been thinking about in a way that might be general enough to avoid any specific questions in response.]

I saw that he was carrying a type of gun that I was unfamiliar with; do you know anything about it?

[His tone is casual and curious, rather than intent in the way it usually is when he's asking about thing.]
mismanagement: (003)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe it's a holdout blaster. I don't know the model. Why?

[Maketh isn't sure why that matters.]

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2017-05-19 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[How to put this...]

It didn't work when he tried to fire it, so I was curious as to why. Particularly if he's familiar enough with weapons to be helping you manufacture them.

[personal profile] mismanagement 2017-05-19 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maketh tips her head to the side.]

I suspect he was making a point. A blaster doesn't work like your pistol does. Hux isn't the type to carry a defective weapon.

[personal profile] lifetothefullest 2017-05-19 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's what he'd thought--the making a point part, anyway--but the confirmation's still useful, if unsettling.]

How do they work? Generally.

[It's both a question of curiosity and something that he thinks would be very good to know if there are problems in the future.]

They fire a contained burst of plasma energy at the target. Settings can be adjusted for range and intensity. They need to be recharged from time to time, but they don't run out of ammunition like your weapons do.

[Maketh grimaces. She's not a fan of bullets.]

Bullets are very--inconvenient. I hadn't realized how difficult they were until I came here.
