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.

I was a Prospit dreamer - but, no, Prospit is in the medium. We couldn't access it anymore from here.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah. I can still bitch about it though, wish we had some pointers or something y'know?

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah. I wish I had an instructional guide.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Not going to count on one showing up.

...So did you go out fighting? You brought your chainsaw in I'm guessing?

[speakveryclearly]

Oh yes. I got a lot accomplished. I've been making some progress on my marksmanship as well.

Do you think you will some other day or just stay out.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah, I guess it came at a bad time, like I need to practice more with my weapon and I'm way too hung over right now for just going in fistkind to even be a thing where I think I could come out of it not dead or completely well and truly owned.

So unless it gets actually proper bad I think I'm gonna stay here for now.

[She puts kind after strife specibi like a civilized person. Bless her soul.]

Sometimes it seems like we can never get a break. It's fortunate that we can even maintain as large a safe area as this. [She looks into the distance.] I might have to go back out there myself before long, actually.

[tipsygnostalgia]

Maybe I should go out too. I mean I can still magic-shoot stuff form a distance pretty well.

[speakveryclearly]

And since I do have a close range weapon that would keep them from getting too close......

[THIS IS SHAPING UP AS A GOOD PLAN YEAH

TEAMWORK]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Then I think we have a plan, don't we.

[YES. TEAMWORK.]

[speakveryclearly]

Alright, then. Let's do this thing. Let's make this work.

[She'd sound a lot better right now if she'd ever read it]

[tipsygnostalgia]

[Roxy however knows all about sbahj]

We're doing it man. We're making it happen.

[speakveryclearly]

That sounds a lot better.

[Where are they going to make this happen. Down the alleyway? Up in the mountains? MAYBE EVEN INTO THE SUNSET???]

[tipsygnostalgia]

Let's go.

[She isn't even sure, figuring they should just walk in a direction until they find something??]
