EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

[She is fine enough with moving on to the subject of her mutation. The more she talks about it, she has argued with herself, the easier it'll be for her to accept it.

That might actually be true, provided the people who she talks to about it react to it well.]

It's one of the more explicitly useful ones, I guess.

[implying]

Oh, I should say so! [ And he actually can say so, having had a lesson on this subject once already. The nose of his mask tips as he glances over thoughtfully. ] Tell me, can you take any person's shape that you like?

[studieswaitressing]

[She nods.]

I haven't found much limitation as far as that goes, yet. And it isn't just their shape -- it's their voice, too. Mannerisms come more naturally, but it's still easy to screw them up if I'm not paying attention.

[implying]

Well, you must be very popular at parties!

[ he totally means 'at orgies'. in his heart. ]

[studieswaitressing]

[You would be wrong in both situations, Vanadi.]

Less popular than you'd think. My sort of ... people aren't really common or well-liked.
