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.

Technically, he's the rebel.

[Meg is part of the old order.]

But really, these days, the only thing I wanna do is get back at Crowley and live through all this. Or find something to live for.

I had a new reason back home but it doesn't apply here. Here, I'm back to my old tricks.

[Haymitch pauses at that, swirling the drink he was about to down.]

This place does prove interesting, doesn't it.

[bitch_is_back]

Sure does.

[She smiles a bit as she watches him drink. At least this place has provided her with a few more entertaining people.]

[He puts the shot glass down once he's done with it.]

It seems to be a challenging environment for people less used to ... conflict, though.

[Not that he's surprised, considering they're in a war.]

[bitch_is_back]

But not for people like us.

[She picked up the bottle and refilled his glass.]

[hungover]

...mm, no.

[He finished the drink as soon as it was poured.]
