☆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.”

I will, thanks.


[If by 'careful' he means 'go ghost hunting.' She is pretty flattered that he's worried about her though.]

Sure enough, there is an elbow to the neck in Xanxus' immediate future, as well as a few more assorted kicks and punches just to make sure he gets the message. Jamie, for all his struggling, isn't nearly as much of a threat - a good hard shake and some manhandling to get his arms twisted behind his back is enough to subdue him - but he gets a fair amount of cursing aimed his way for his part in the troublemaking.

They also take back the keycard he stole fair and square. Jerks.

Then the guard will escort Jamie to one elevator, while Xanxus will get a whole team of them prepped to haul him to his feet and drag him off to another. You're both going to your rooms.

Feel free to fight them some more if you've got it in you, Xan. Otherwise, you go upstairs and think about what you've done.

[ Trucy no. Don't go ghost hunting. ]
connivingbird: (pondering)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-24 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[He just pulls his legs close, wraps his arms around his knees and stays there like that for a while, trying to get his mind together again.]

You're not going to tell anyone, are you?
faithfulflame: (Priestess Meditation)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-11-24 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
No, of course not.

[She smiles at him, sitting across from him and taking a meditative posture.]

You have my word.

[He seems to relax when he sees the teenagers. There's only a few, and any mom-types seem to be at the back of the store chatting away. Maybe he'll get lucky. Maybe they won't notice him. Hopefully someone up there likes him.

He leads her to the counter, orders one of those oreo espresso drinks as he'd described before, and walks over to the area where drinks are picked up to wait patiently. He can see them snapping pictures out of the corner of his eye, but he's used to it- he even throws up two fingers and grins like an idiot for them.]


Hey, Trucy, I think we've got some fans who want a picture.

[The girls are totally coming over to talk to them.]

"I wouldn't be the first time." Weasel shrugs.

Though honestly, he hasn't even been tossing out poetic lines all that often lately. They don't roll off his tongue as easily anymore, and when he does say them he feels awkward afterward. The memories are surely to blame.

No, we can't, but making a big fuss about it isn't going to get us anywhere. I started asking questions and got called in. You caused a scene and got their eyes on you. I don't know what Greg did besides be his usual dumbass self, but he got called in on it, too. If we want to find out anything, we have to play along and let them do what they're going to do.

[That's the best solution overall. If nothing's going on then none of them will get themselves in trouble for it. If something is, it gives them more time and space to figure out how to counter it. If everyone keeps quiet, it may well be that everything will quiet down on its own. That's what he hopes, anyway.]
goateeocracy: (grr)

[personal profile] goateeocracy 2015-11-24 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Stop being stupid!

[It may seem a little harsh, but really, you don't truly know for sure that Yan cares about you until he tells you what an insufferable moron he thinks you are. It's not really easy to differentiate this from when he tells people he can't stand that they're insufferable morons, though. It's all in the nuances. Or something.]

Why would they need to do any of that shit?
consocius: Any icons that are by me are safe to take, except for this one please! (relax.)

[personal profile] consocius 2015-11-24 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he can't argue with that. He smiles again in response to Koumei's smile, a small one that's both thankful and thoughtful.]

Yeah. And I've done other stuff too. For my band mate friends. We had a party before, with a big pillow fort I built and I think everyone had fun...
blindfoldcode: (these lessons)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-24 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
No, we're a family. This is the kinda stuff we do. If I was sick, you'd do the same, right?

[She actually says that all with sincerity.
blindfoldcode: (in defense)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-24 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I just want you to rest. When you're better we'll talk about cupcakes.

"You are very eager to like." Distracted by worry and the need to get him back to safety, Meril made an error atypical of her -- she spoke without thinking. "I find myself envying that at times."
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (Please don't expect me to always)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-11-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's not particularly reassuring. Luce keeps rubbing his back for a moment more before she offers her free hand.]

Do you want to come back to my place? Away from everyone else until you can get yourself together?
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (Please don't expect me to always)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-11-24 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dear, I think even if there wasn't a lockdown, I'd be worried about you being able to just walk down the street without incident."

She sinks down besides him, rubbing at his back like that will help anything. Is this why the lockdown is happening? Some sort of sickness, a fever? Is she going to catch it? Well, she can't say she cares. She'd rather be in danger of catching it while helping her friends instead of just hiding and doing nothing.

"Do you want to stay here? By the plant? Or I could bring you up to my place, where there's a toilet, water, food... Things to help you get back on your feet. It might help you calm down and let you get your head together."
giglio_madonna: (snappleicons) (Bisexual girls are great)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-11-24 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it can be denied...

[Luce trails off thoughtfully. She'd joked, back at the Gala, about some great romance or break up being a thing. It's the obvious, typical choice, but... Oh, who knows. She tries not to think on it too much.]

Well, Pride and Virgo do dominate the scene. We can always ask around later. How is the rest of your group, dear?
connivingbird: (no you didnt)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-24 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eeepp. Ankh blinked at Yan from under the blankets, all big eyes and blond hair and pouty lower lip. He manages to hold it for about a half a minute before he starts to snicker about the stuff he was saying and went for the last ice pop to chew on.]

Sorry; I'm being overly dramatic. But seriously we can't afford to let them to screw with us. These thoughts or dreams or whatever we're having has to be something important that they don't want us to put together. Why else would they try to mess with your head over a little weirdness? We're rock stars; we're suppose to be weird.
connivingbird: (theres no end)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-24 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially the managers, right?

[He doesn't want them to hear, not after his run-in with Yan and what he was told there. That did not sound good and Ankh wanted his head to remain exactly where it was: on his shoulders.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Elegant)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-11-24 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially the managers.

[She reached out a hand, squeezing his knee in solidarity. She understands.]

You have my solemn vow.
connivingbird: (theres no end)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-24 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[It was weak, but he was becoming more and more like himself.]

Yeah, I think that'll be for the best.
connivingbird: (time)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-24 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[He fell silent, waiting until the shaking stopped and then was slowly going to gain his feet and attempt to go upstairs.]
gunslingerqueen: (A dirty free for all)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2015-11-25 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not entirely surprising, Rei did seem like an introvert, though one that could be charming when she wanted.]

I can make you card that say 'My Mental Health Takes Precedence in This Situation' and you can hand them out to people and walk away when you need to.

[She's not even making fun of the issue, this is her genuine solution! An extrovert can help an introvert by being considerate and watching out for their friend's health! That's the idea, anyway.]
gunslingerqueen: (The only solution was to stand and fight)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2015-11-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
What, being stuck in a gigantic building, having weird visions and all of us feeling ready to yank our skins off? [She adds after a beat:] Or really, really needing a hug all the time? Yes, it's incredibly dramatic.

[This was literally the kind of setting that fit some psychological thriller film student project or whatever.]
notahobby: (maxxie009)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-25 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
It just... makes me wonder what's going on. Something has to be causing this, right?

[Maxxie looks at her like that has to be it. This can't just be some convenient mass hallucination that no one's responsible for. He's tired of being confused and overwhelmed and scared.]
gunslingerqueen: (Sure why the hell not)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2015-11-25 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I don't like to think about that possibility.

[Because it does make sense that it would be more, and the look she gives Maxxie says as much - that she agrees with him. But if it isn't just an incredibly strange anomaly then that's even more bone chilling. Why them? Why now? A lot of questions they could never hope to answer would pop up and it might only drive them even crazier.]
