☆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.”

It's very much the same here. Now if only I could swipe a senior Virgo artist's phone and see if they got a memo that we didn't.

"You really do like that word, huh? You really aren't used to having friends." He's teasing, but the smile is wan.

With that look on her face, his brows go up. "No... I remember. You were moping, I wanted to cheer you up. And you ended up looking like this, instead."
nibelungvalesti: (what?!)

Why, of all the memories to return to him, was that the one that had come rushing back? Not able to look at him, or up from the floor, she groped blindly for the penthouse door's knob. "It was an excellent serenade directed at someone who never expected it," she mumbled.
yellowcopycat: (shame)

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2015-12-05 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just, I don't know. I was looking for ... something.

[He sighs]

I don't know what's happening.

Can't you? Don't you have a gym over there? Go through somebody's bag when they're showering.

[Child's play.]

[There's a quiet moment while he smiles to himself.]

It's alright. It's nice to hear someone else's voice right now.
yellowcopycat: (warmth)

[A sigh of relief]

You're a good friend, you know that?
trustme: The Doctor interested (interested)

[personal profile] trustme 2015-12-06 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Better lower the fever first. I should drink some water!

[ Apparently the door is locked when she tries it but it occurs to him that this is his own penthouse. He feels around his pockets and finds a key, which he passes to her. ]
nibelungvalesti: (sadness)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2015-12-06 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Water. A cool bath. Ibuprofen. [Relieved enough to actually sigh, she accepts the key and turns back to the door. Hopefully no one will be angry that she's just bringing him on in like this -- or misinterpret.]

[Signing a tampon seems like less of a big deal to her. Heck, she carries those in her purse too. But she's not really the type to suddenly start taking her top off in public so stranger can sign her lingerie.
In other news, girl B is that type and her shirt is already off and she's leaning over so he can sign. She also makes sure to flash her friend a tiny smirk. Totally the winner here. They are so getting thrown out of this cafe...

Girl A sputters indignantly and then starts unbuttoning her top as well. Trucy looks slightly alarmed.]


F-fine! Then sign mine too, okay?
magic_to_do: (Oh give me my chance)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Your dad...?

[Well, she's not going to lie to him.]

Yeah. Kido was right. Sorry... If there was anything I could do to help you find him...

[Missing father is resonating on a level she didn't expect. Suddenly, an image flashes through her head of a little girl sitting and waiting in the office of someone she barely knew. Waiting to find out if they had found her father yet. They didn't. They never found him. But... that never happened to her. So why does it... feel so real? She hasn't noticed the tears rolling down her cheeks yet.]
tigermillionaire: (friendship tho)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2015-12-06 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks at her, and there is a kind of compassion in his eyes that Tiger himself has never shown before. Like her crying alone is enough to cause him acute distress. He leans towards her, frowning.]

Are...are you okay? You don't have to be sorry, it's not your fault...
magic_to_do: (it's hard to feel big)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-06 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is tired. And feeling lonely and sad and very unlike herself. Trucy usually has an easy time reaching through any pain she's in to find an optimistic smile. But not today. Today it's just.... too hard. She should rest. And just have faith that she'll feel better in the morning.]

You're right. We got here together.

[And they had to stick together. They had to support each other and believe in each other and believe in themselves too.]

Sorry... it's just.... been a rough day. I'll feel better tomorrow.

Everyone's a bit scattered...

[And it doesn't take a lot beyond listening to her voice to tell that Luce is worried about that.]

But we'll gather them up and take care of them so they don't hurt themselves.
blindfoldcode: (in defense)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-12-06 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
If not, I'll keep looking out for you. [She sighs, heavily. Why is her ENTIRE BAND a mess?]

So just worry about you.
consocius: Any icons that are by me are safe to take, except for this one please! (ponder.)

[personal profile] consocius 2015-12-07 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He hadn't really thought of that previously, but...]

Now that you mention it... Sorta, yeah... Or at least that was there too.
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (Please don't expect me to always)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-12-07 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
...I think the same thing is happening here, dear.

[The mystery thickens, and Luce only wishes she had even the faintest idea of what to make of it.]

[Yan glares at Ankh and grumbles when he tugs on his hair, but instead of snapping at him like you'd expect, he patiently tolerates it. That strange sense of deja vu hits him again at the feeling. That little girl again, the one who was crying. Hundreds of braids in his hair and her looking for more hair to braid. Irritation, but fondness as well. The things you'll do for a little sister...

This hallucination shit should have stopped, not gotten worse...]


Does it? I was looking for dramas it might have been from, thinking maybe it was just my subconscious putting things together.

[But is that how it works?]
connivingbird: (that there)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-12-07 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Encouraged by the lack of snarls, Ankh hums a little as he tries to finger comb out the tangles. It was a mess and he frowned a little at the amount of work that needs to be done with it before shrugging and pulling out a comb to get to work.]

They took it down at the beginning of the year cuz they lost the renting permit. I think you can find it on some pirate channels but Virgo is pretty strict on how many of those you can access.
consocius: Any icons that are by me are safe to take, except for this one please! (down.)

[personal profile] consocius 2015-12-07 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, geez. They can just add it to the file. Which, thinking about it...]

Maybe we should like... write all the weird things down, that have been happening, you know? Keep it all in one place to look at. And if anything else happens we could add it there too. Plus, uh...

[He lowers his voice. And looks around. And ultimately ends up going out onto the balcony by himself so he can continue speaking.]

Okay, so... Here's something we can add to the file too but don't tell a lot of people, okay? Because I don't know... [It just feels like something potentially dangerous. And yet he also feels like he should let it go. He wrestles with himself for a moment before remembering why he wants to tell her anyway. Because it's weird, and they should be keeping track of the weird things.] The other day I had to go to Lesedi Santiago's office and we talked about something, I can't really remember that well... But then I like. I must have... I must have passed out or gotten sick or something? Because I didn't go back home. Jamie said I was gone for two days. And I don't remember them.

[He laughs softly.]

Nah, it's just what you gotta do, right? Do unto others and all that.
magic_to_do: (Every so often a man has a day)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-08 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She hurriedly wipes at her eyes and shakes her head.]

I'm okay. I'm just tired. We all are.

[It takes more effort than it ever has before, but she manages a weak smile. She doesn't want him to worry about her.]

Things... things will be better tomorrow.

[They have to be.]
magic_to_do: (That's the reason I'll never be)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
I know...

[Trucy leans a little more on Kido, as much for comfort as support.]

Let's get back to the penthouse. I'll be okay tomorrow.

[She's determined. She won't be any more of a burden if she can help it.]
blindfoldcode: (Default)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-12-08 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Kido's arm around her tightens and she nods. She'll help her onto the elevator?]

At least we don't have to take the stairs.

[ It takes an extra minute for Doctor to reply. ]

I've never stolen anything before.

[ Not as his brainwashed self at least. ]
