[ Don't mind him, just ignoring the trauma of their recent sojourn to another world and another life by giving himself a project that can realize the stuff he was talking about weeks ago- ]

a little while before we got interdimensionally kidnapped (again) i'd started thinking of ways to get to the moon to kick down henries' door, because i assumed that the only place a rich immortal nutcase would decide to live is there.

now that we've got confirmation and i don't have to sound like a crazy person, that's exactly what i want to accomplish. i've theorized with some people that there might be a gate on the moon. if so, probably needs some kind of activation. if not, well. i think there's some evidence we've made them before, but somebody can correct me if i'm wrong.

either way it requires getting there, so there's some options

1) legal: extremely high shuttle fare, huge pain, potentially registers us in a system via ticketing and security feeds
2) less legal: stow away on shuttles, run the risk of discovery, need to understand access points and means of egress
3) questionably legal: build our own shuttle, attract unwanted attention doing so, there's probably a log somewhere of registered shuttles which would mean fake credentials
4) definitely illegal: steal a shuttle, earn bad press, possible arrest?

what i'm looking for is people who want to see this through and don't mind the distinct possibility of getting their hands dirty. hit me up if you're interested.

Hey, all.

Brought to you by my going home a spell and returning here just about a decade later by my reckoning — what amenities would you say you miss most from home?

Now, for my part. I ain't a man of violence, but if I ever meet the fella or dame that outlawed smoking here I'd sure give them a stern piece of my mind.

For the newcomers, pleasure to meet y'all. If you're still in the process of getting settled, I'm happy to swing by to help get you situated.

Anyone here choose to not use the ability they were given for whatever reason? Or is it sometimes impossible to avoid using it?

I haven't figured out what mine is yet but I thought I'd just check in to see if they're easily controlled when you have figured them out or if they just pop off without preamble. Might be a little bit of a mood killer in certain situations if that were to happen.

Can you turn them off even if you can't actually turn them off?

so everyone knows shit sucks right now
since i've been here i've seen a lot of talk about what we should do, but it seems like everyone has a different idea
some people want to start superhero teams and some people want to require training for everyone new who shows up
some of us want to go public, some don't, some people trust morningstar and some people think they're shady
some people are just saying "fuck it" and think we should worry about ourselves
you know, all that shit

so i guess i just wanted to crowdsource
get everyone's thoughts in one place or whatever
because it seems like fucked up shit keeps happening and since i got here, it's getting worse

this is probably going to start a whole argument about how much responsibility we even have when we've just been dragged here without a choice
or people saying no one should expect us to act as a group but
idk
here's your chance to be all opinionated
go
 
 
Folks. For those of you who ain't met me yet, my name's Eugene Hicks, late of 1947 on Earth. I'm a medic and a former paratrooper — a trained soldier from those of you who ain't from my world — if that helps ease your mind some given what I'm proposing.

I'm looking for volunteers to accompany me in the rescue of a group of civilians in approximately one hour, as I believe time is of immediate essence. Not twenty minutes ago, I treated a young girl who said she escaped from a cave underneath the city where she reckons some fifteen or so others are being kept by the Arachne as a food source. Seems like they're being cocooned, possibly neutralized with some sort of paralytic. Kassandra and I scouted out the entrance, and we reckon so long as we can get people up to the street we stand a good chance of getting them all out.

Combat or medical experience only, please. If you'd like to help out in some other capacity, we're going to need people to get trucks and medical supplies from either Morningstar or PRESERVE to transport and treat the civilians afterwards.

I'm willing to bet this ain't the only place in the city folks are being held in such a manner, so another thing we'll need is anyone who can scout out other areas, track these monsters or investigate civilian disappearances that seem suspect in this especial way. If there's anyone among us who'd like to step up and take responsibility for organizing other squads, please feel free to do so in this forum.

Hicks out.



( ooc: peep the link for a miniplot! anyone is invited to join in, i'll be posting a log for it probably tomorrow once i have an idea of who would like to participate. please feel free to use this as a jumping off point too for your own squad organization if you'd like to go that way instead, as both basilisks and anglers will also be taking live humans for food! gene is also 100 percent okay with someone else taking the lead on his group, since he's just a lowly sergeant, he's just assuming that most of the in-game 'leaders' are probably already busy and is stepping up to the plate himself haha. chat me up at [plurk.com profile] vitarays if you want to hammer out some deets before you jump in! )

[ The morning of May 26th: ]

Not sure if it's the same for anyone else, but me and at least one other person I know of had some odd dreams a few days back. Right after the earthquake.

A lab in the ice, soldiers with gold glowing eyes, things crawling out of the ground.

I'm new here but I've been told a few of those things might sound familiar to folks here and not in a good way.


[ He wasn't exactly a big believer in premonition before coming here, but he's trusting that the advice he was given and the people who've been here longer'll know better if this means something as ominous as it sounds. Or at least confirm if it wasn't just the two of them sharing the same nightmare. ]

so that crazy is over, i decided to touch base

1. i am a hairstylist again, i got a job at the cutting edge. we got discount days so come see me, it's quality service and affordable prices and we got snacks

2. i woke up hugging a sword from back home tho it doesn't do the thing it usually does so it's useless although it was kinda crappy back home too

can anyone who knows about weapons check on it?

3. speaking of help, everyone has got powers over here, right? i'm looking for some help. it's memory related. also if anyone can make me taller that would be cool too

4. thats pretty much it come get a haircut i need money to get out of the safehouse and a roommate i'm open for suggestions bye
