☆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.”

While Jamie guides him gently by the elbow, Sora leans against him lightly, listening to what he says. He'd thought the whole experience had been strange already, but to have his friend say he'd sort of gone through something similar... Is even more bizarre.

He pauses a moment in thought before turning his head to him to answer his question, with a frown that's mostly thoughtful, if not also a little confused. "Yeah... Sorta? I dunno, I just... have these weird thoughts... Maybe it was a bad dream I had."

The machines and things, the squeezing pain. It was a little different from when he first woke up, though... And every time he attempts to start talking about it, or even sort it out in his own head, he feels like he runs into this mental wall. Feels like he should just let it go, move onto another topic.

"Not a shocker. If you take care of all of us this well."

As they're nearing the penthouse, he grows quiet, thinking hard. "I wrote you a song, didn't I?"

He sends Luce a sidelong glance at the touch, vaguely bemused. It's been an awfully long time since someone made such an affectionate gesture.

"All right. If you say so." He sighs, too tired to keep doubting. It's not like he knows anything about any of this. "I trust you."

Oh...

[Well that... hurts. She can't deny that. But it must be even harder on Tiger, so she musters up a smile anyway.]

It's... okay. I remember you. I'll just have to remember enough for both of us. Until you're better.

I can put on a good show. I'm good on stage. But you're the one who supports us. Keeps us going. I can do a lot for our band, but....

[She closes her eyes, a wistful smile on her face.]

I wish I could do more. For our family.
tigermillionaire: (THINKIN ABOUT STUFF)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2015-12-02 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
...

[It's nice of her, anyway. Like this, Tiger doesn't seem to have the same edges that he does otherwise - there's no anger in his distress, only fear and sadness.]

I don't really...know what I'm doing. Kido said my dad isn't around, and...he's the only thing I remember.

You do a hell of a lot and you know it. I'm shit on stage, and I'm not good with people. Tiger's a force to be reckoned with, Pinkie's great at making connections. You keep everybody from falling apart.

We all do stuff. That's why we work together. That's how we got here. You're talking like you're tired and I think you need to get in bed.

That's in the recipe? That's what a recipe IS!

[YOU ARE FUCKING EATING THEM]

"A brief serenade, as part of your obligation to serenade ladies," she said, dismissing any significance to the music even as she blushed very faintly.
connivingbird: (that there)

...There was a monster too. A kind of strange grasshopper-man-thing.

[There. He admitted it even though it sounded weird and strange to admit it. He tsked lightly and scoots over another inch or two, reaching over to tug on that hair because it so needs to be combed out.]

That sounds like something from 'Dynasty Ever After' starring Joo Byugn Ho.
punchesyu: (no i wasn't trying to be mean!)

hahaha and possibly creepy too

[His hand does not go out immediately to take the tampon. In fact, his face scrunches up in horror at the fact that he's just been handed a tampon to sign. It's not used, still in the wrapper, but...it's the principle of the thing. He watches in disgust as Trucy takes it and signs it from what he views as flawlessly and unbothered. How. How did she just do that...]

C-Can't I sign something else...

[He eyes the girl that asks for the bra to be signed. He immediately ditches the tampon idea, ignoring that girl, and he chimes in very quickly to bra girl.]

I'll sign your bra! That's totally not a problem at all!

[That makes the girl with the tampon a little angry though...]

Hey, what about me? Aren't you going to sign this? You said you would!
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (Please don't expect me to always)

Weird pain inside?

[That... That sounds familiar.]

Like something calling you...

"And thank you for that. I know it must be awful, waiting in a situation like this." Pulling back, Luce nods.

"I'll bring back water as fast as I can."
panspermia: (★ So many flavors and you chose salty)

[personal profile] panspermia 2015-12-03 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
He pulls a face. "Am I that sort of person? Do I sing out of obligation?" There's a click of the tongue. "That doesn't sound like me. But my head is pretty screwed up right now."
nibelungvalesti: (sadness)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2015-12-03 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Meril stopped short, lowering her head as she blushed with even greater embarrassment. Now here she was, implying to Greg that he was some sort of -- monster, something he wasn't. "A self-imposed obligation done for your own entertainment, because it delighted you," she clarified quietly.

I know what you mean. I just want some fresh air without having to breath it from the deck of our penthouse.
yellowcopycat: (casual)

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2015-12-04 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[He pauses, then chuckles softly]

Sorry, I called to check on you an ended up venting.
punchesyu: (welp freaking out again)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-12-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
D-Don't say that kind of stuff! There is no way I'm possessed by someone like that!

[He's not saying why, but by the look on his face, it's probably embarrassing.]

But, you know, at this point I'm not really ruling anything out.
consocius: ([neutral]; heard)

[personal profile] consocius 2015-12-04 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Thanks!

[It felt pretty natural to Sora, even if a lot of other things about today or the last few days didn't. Koumei's presence brought safety and reassurance, whereas before he'd felt like he'd been adrift in the halls with no place to anchor himself, on top of the feeling of loneliness and sadness. Giving him some sort of purpose, even a small one like this, was a help.

Something that had been sitting in the back of his mind re-emerges, as he goes back through the entire conversation.

Oh... Nariko. Has she been doing okay today? I haven't seen her.

No word yet about the lockdown ending here. Not that I'd have the energy to go out the way I am now. With this fever and headache I feel like a man lost in the desert. :\
eyettentionplease: (ooh hey is that fifty bucks?)

[personal profile] eyettentionplease 2015-12-05 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Have they? It doesn't feel like I've seen anyone today...
eyettentionplease: (ooh hey is that fifty bucks?)

[personal profile] eyettentionplease 2015-12-05 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
What are you doing here anyway, Ryouta?

[Just out of curiosity, you know.]

If he wasn't so busy trying to save the kid, he might have given Jaime kudos for finally digging deep and finding some courage to fight back. He had to give it to the kid. He might be small but even the smallest of lions can have huge bites.

"Got it!" He yells. Then he's throwing his full weight and strength into his punch. He hopes the guard will fall forward unconscious and not backwards. He doesn't want to lift a passed out body off the kid. After, he doesn't know. They can't leave. That much is clear, but maybe they could hide out somewhere. He could always take Jamie back to Chez Carnie, but he didn't know how being surrounded by the other crazies of the Carnival would help the boy, but he's already decided he's going to do whatever he can for this kid.

[personal profile] trustme 2015-12-05 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Doctor bites his lip and gives a look on the level of a guilty dog. ]

I've been stay... open-hearted and understanding towards him. So I haven't called him a moron but...

[ It's on his mind now that you mention it. ]
faithfulflame: (Rei ugh)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-12-05 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
But you've thought it. It's alright. Some people are morons.
