Cometh the Big Crying Wheel

Date & Time: Sept 15th
Location: A refurbished castle on the outskirts of Exsilium.
Characters: Anyone at the party!
Summary: Vanadi hosts a party that goes very poorly.
Warnings: Violence, probably! Let a mod know if we should update this.


It’s a lovely night for a party!


The venue at the outskirts of town is, unfortunately, a bit drafty — and actually rather sparsely furnished, as well. In fact, party goers are encouraged to mingle, drink, and enjoy themselves in the courtyard, as the castle itself wasn’t able to be renovated in time, and has proven to be a little bit architecturally unsound. Any explorative guests might find a small hail of dust and pebbles on their heads if they venture too far in — and who knows what else, if they continue on.

But the drinks and snacks both are plentiful and delicious, and the large canvas set up from castle wall to castle wall keeps off the sprinkling rain. The weather could even be described as warmish and pleasant, if one were feeling generous. A group of Exiles plays classic instruments in one corner of the courtyard, having been paid enough to even smile at any Transports that wander near.

All in all, it’s shaping up to be a good night. Until about 10 PM, that is. Come 10 PM, the Misery rolls into town, tearing down the canvas, nullifying powers, and crying corrosive blood everywhere. That’s the cue for all hell to break loose, as the final wave of mind-controlled characters snag their victims and make for the hills — or at least for the UE. The mind-controlled characters will also have the backup of a squadron of 20 of the Masked, the UE's special ops force. The Masked's main goal is to grab those on their list and get away, but they're certainly not above shooting to kill at anyone that gets in their way. They're also highly trained in hand-to-hand combat and physically enhanced by their suits, so they're a good bunch to try to avoid.

But do have a wonderful time until then, won’t you?

Works for me.

[a pause while he inhales and holds his breath.]

You know the musicians?
lazyinlove: (me)

[Stanley nods, speaking around his own lungful of smoke.]

They're locals. Decent guys. Never met that pretty cellist until tonight, but she seems cool.
werewolfing: (and we will never be the same again)

[peter nods, opens his mouth to say something, and then flinches, his expression going odd.]

I just got a really bad feeling about this.
lazyinlove: (w)

[personal profile] lazyinlove 2013-09-27 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
The cellist?

[His eyes wander over to her briefly, but then he glances back at Peter again and shrugs.]

Yeah, she's married. Oh well.
werewolfing: (and you said you always had my back)

[personal profile] werewolfing 2013-09-27 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Two bad feelings, then. Don't go there, horrible idea no matter how pretty.

More important bad feeling though. Like it's time to go before the cops crash the party, but way worse than cops.
lazyinlove: (w)

Like what? Seems pretty boring so far to me.
werewolfing: (these little things define you forever)

[personal profile] werewolfing 2013-09-27 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hell if I know exactly, my balls don't talk. Something bad.
lazyinlove: (w)

[personal profile] lazyinlove 2013-09-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Never ignore ball feelings I guess.
werewolfing: (oh but how were we to know)

[personal profile] werewolfing 2013-09-27 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
One of my life policies. Don't ignore the universe when it's telling you something.

[he shrugs, but now he seems more alert. not quite agitated, exactly, but on the lookout.]

You probably think I'm shitting you. I'm not. You should get the hell out of here, man. Your friends too. Something's coming.
lazyinlove: (w)

sorry been sick!

[personal profile] lazyinlove 2013-10-02 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously?

[No offense bro, but he doesn't understand yet that your balls are special. His only get a few feelings, though admittedly those are all hard to ignore. So he's willing to take it more seriously than if you'd said a guy feeling.]
werewolfing: (it's harder than you think)

noooo worries!

[personal profile] werewolfing 2013-10-02 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously.

[he sighs, runs a hand through his hair. how do you even begin explaining this shit? there's a reason he didn't bother at home, but that's less and less an option here everyday. still, how? isaac at least had some vague experience with the supernatural in the world outside exsilium. then he realizes.]

They gave us Weapons, right? The Initiative. That's mine, more or less. Completely worthless for fighting, great for getting the hell out before the fight starts.
lazyinlove: (w)

[personal profile] lazyinlove 2013-10-03 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[That's...weird but cool. It's a good pick, as far as Stanley's concerned. Let somebody else do the fighting. There's no shortage of people with chips on their shoulders around here, anyway.]

I'll pass it on.
