☆TRACK IV: COME TOO FAR

Who: Everyone!
What: Something explodes in the distance. In a figurative sense.
When: November 6th.
Where: Anywhere you are.
Warnings: ???

“Like the legend of the Phoenix,
All ends with beginnings,
What keeps the planets spinning,
The force from the beginning.”

☆COME TOO FAR
On November 6th, the sudden lockdown of Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment finally ends. But not before some unseen actions have their consequences.



Due to the nature of the conflict, none of you can be there to see it, but that doesn't mean it can't be felt. In the morning of the 6th, something cries out to you spiritually - like the voice of a guardian angel, or a haunting ghost. Something, somewhere, is calling on you for aid. Pleading for you to lend it your power.

Whether or not you consciously agree, you'll feel a connection stronger than anything you've felt up till this point, like whatever this creature is is somehow in the room with you, or maybe like you're with it. What happens next depends on your alignment.

► LOVE & HOPE: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel as if they have taken a deep, spiritual blow - much like having someone clasp their hand around your "soul" and attempt to snuff it out. The attack itself will be brutal but brief. It's the after effects that linger, which may be any of the following:

1) Lingering spiritual pain that triggers symptoms akin to a fever in the body. It may also trigger effects such as nosebleeds and other signs of intense stress.

2) Forgetting everything except the memories you've regained.

3) A feeling of being desperately alone. How your character reacts to this feeling can vary, but the most common response will be seeking comfort from anyone nearby, even if you are not usually the sort of person to do that.

These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. You can pick more than one of these effects for a character, but try to balance the potency of each if you take more than one, so you aren't completely kicking the shit out of them. Vestiges of these effects can linger throughout the rest of the day, but in a significantly reduced capacity.

► DUTY & PASSION: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel an intense sense of fear and grief, as if they have lost something extremely precious to them. Generally speaking, this will manifest as a sort of panic or desperation to save whatever that thing is - but not being entirely clear on where they have to go or what they have to do to accomplish it. This can very well trigger some brash and irrational actions as they sort out this abrupt feeling of urgency.

1) Soon after the feeling begins, affected characters will feel empathically drawn to the characters suffering from the effects listed for Hope & Love, even if they are not normally the sort to be so concerned for others. This can go as far as having them be aggressively protective to the point that they will conflict with each other over it.

2) Along with that feeling of being drawn to protect them, all characters will feel an intensified kinship with all the other player characters - from both labels. This feeling of kinship won't cause them to know anything more about each other than they did before, but it will cause them to feel like much closer friends than they actually are.

These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. After that period has ended, all these empathetic effects will fade off on their own.

Any network posts made in the chaos will be deleted by the execs after the 5 hours period has closed, if not sooner. By the end of the day, Lesedi Santiago and Edward Blanche will announce their return, and bans from leaving HQ will be lifted.

They will not acknowledge the events of the morning unless someone goes to ask them about it.

“We've come too far
to give up who we are.
So, let's raise the bar
and our cups to the stars.”

One emotion tends to feed into the other. Greg's too tired to sort out his own, at this point; if he hasn't got any answers, he shouldn't be expecting her to have much, either. "Thank you, Meril." He's not sure what else he can say. "I'm sorry. About... whatever this is."

[Still pouting, she takes it very carefully. Something about actually letting her body relax has made her more aware of how upset it is.]

I feel like I'm dying. [And she looks it, too!]

Want me to punch him?

[Because it really sounds like a father who doesn't appreciate their child, and someone like Rei, needs to be punched. Maybe kicked a little, too.] Because I will find him and punch him and get away with it, believe me.

You're alright. [He sighs and leans back on the couch.] Well. You're probably not dying anyway.

It's almost like having an excitable puppy at his heels. That's fine though. It means he's actually doing some damn good for a change. It feels sort of okay to help for once instead of doing what he usually does to make things worse.

"Don't mention it." Really, don't. Because he has a reputation to keep. He'd lose all his bad boy street cred if it was found that he helped this kid go see the ocean. "And it's Xanxus." Yes, that Xanxus.

That Xanxus who is approaching those guards and cracking his knuckles as he goes. He's just as burley and nothing is going to stop him from getting this kid out of the building. Not even if it means seeing the Boss again. "While I keep those gorillas busy, you try the door."

The name means nothing to Jamie, aside from a new piece of information to file away in his brain for later. The guards, on the other hand, are quite familiar with Xanxus and his reputation and therefore dispense with formalities, converging on him at the same time to take a swing at him - one aiming for the face, the other for the kidneys.

Jamie looks horrified at this and, for the first time since finding himself in this mystery building, feels a twinge of fear. Whoever these people are, they don't want him and his new pal getting out. All the more reason to follow Xanxus' suggestion and try to get the door open as quickly as possible.

Skirting the guards and Xanxus, Jamie bolts for the door and throws all his weight against it. It doesn't budge. "I-I think it's stuck!" he yells, voice going high with mounting panic.

No, it's alright. He'll get his in the end.

[Bad men always do.]

Anyway, what's next? I...don't want to linger on him too long.

Even if there weren't as many, I saw what the lights were doing when I came back.

[ He's going to purposely not talk about being left there to sort things out as he's trying to figure out what might be the reasoning for that. There has to be something, right? ]

[ Well, he tried to clear the blocked entrance way. Ivan moves to head back into the penthouse. ]

All right. Please, come inside.

[ He leads the Doctor toward Sexy the Cello. Surely if there's anything to "fix" his memory, Sexy would be it. ]
gunslingerqueen: (Sure why the hell not)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2015-11-20 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not! Who even gets sick out of nowhere like this! [They hadn't been around anyone sick! It just strikes her as weird, okay.]

Dying would at least stop this from hurting, so there might be a benefit to that option.

I'm banning you from dying. Who else is gonna stay up to watch shitty movies with me if you die?

[Richard? Koumei? Garnet? Terrible. All of them.]

[... She still wants to exact physical violence. Oh well.]

Yeah, I get it. [And thankfully she's never one to have trouble coming up with a new topic!] I don't trust people who don't like girls that wear dark lipstick.

[Mood whiplash.]

Like I said, Virgo's all messed up too. Maybe it's that seasonal depression thing? Or something. I have no clue.

[He wants to talk about the strange thing that happened in the basement of Virgo, but decides against it. No one who wasn't there would believe it and he doesn't want Maxxie thinking he's a nut]

I'm just... feeling lost.
yellowcopycat: (don't look at me)

No problem.

"They probably think all of those things, it's true," Luci admits, sighing and leaving thoughts of conspiracy or strange happenings behind her. Their fans are devoted, and in the end they all longed to perform.

"Well, I'm just saying, now there's a giant gaping hole in the side of the building-- if we have to rappel down to escape, party at the Carnie suite."
stylistic_disloyalty: (043)

[personal profile] stylistic_disloyalty 2015-11-20 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Hell of a virus if we're all sick and can't tell," Luci muses. Yeah, that sounds just a little too crazy to be accurate. She shrugs and sighs so hard her head drops down to the bar.

"I just can't stop thinking that this would all go away if we could play."

She would be too if she could see herself, but for some reason slinging her arms around these Flashstep boys feels like she's doing some good to someone.

"I'm sure she's fine-- we're all a little weird from this lockdown. Cabin fever."

"Solid choice for the ill, I second this proposal," she pulls out one of the breakfast bar chairs for Garnet to sit in as she walks by. Then she starts with the kettle. "Let's hope you can recover from this before Sinnamon, right?"
stylistic_disloyalty: (074)

[personal profile] stylistic_disloyalty 2015-11-20 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

Same with Pride from what I can tell. Nobody seemed concerned about this lockdown except Carnies, CI, Flashstep, and SysCrash.
faithfulflame: (Rei Kind look)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-11-20 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Whiplash indeed. But Rei replies quickly.] And I don't wear lipstick, if I can avoid it.

All of them? The woman I saw wasn't and the kid was wearing just as much black as white.

[White, for some reason, does seem to stand out somehow, but it doesn't really trigger anything. At least not at the moment.]

[Yan shrugs Ankh's hands off his shoulders, but only so he can cram him back into the blankets and tuck him back in.]

You do realize I'm talking about brain surgery and not therapy, right?

[He may sound a little irritable, but he's already thinking it over. He has no reason to doubt what they said to him, except that nothing went right. If anything, it's all worse than before. Part of him just doesn't want to think about it anymore and part of him is screaming that he can't ignore it and he feels like he can't choose which to listen to.]

Weasel wrinkles his nose a little at the name 'Wesley', but the more Greg fumbles the more he wants to help him out. The fact that he's remembering at all is important, and he has to do what he can to urge that progress along without forcing it.

He reaches his hands out, meaning to set them gently on Greg's shoulders, supportive. "It's all right. Ease into it. I'm here to help you, if you need it. A beam of support for your otherwise misaligned reality."

[Yan shuts the door and locks it, but doesn't move an inch out of Ivan's personal space.]

Who's looking into it? What's been going on? What happened in the basement? What was supposed to happen? What went wrong? Start talking or I'm going to kick your skinny ass.

[He's not messing around.]
