[OPEN] EVENT LOG: BAD MOON RISING - WEEK TWO

[asgardmods]

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Bad Moon Rising: Week Two
When: Days 323-326 ( September 8-15 )
Where: All across the city.
Rating: PG-13. Anything that might go higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

[ You've been on edge. Inexplicably, so far as you can tell in the moments after those short bouts of quick, sharp anger you've experienced in the past few days - but maybe it's simply stress from the recent attacks on the city. Perhaps some rest will help, or a nice day at Folkvang to decompress and gather yourself.

Whatever you try, though, the odd feeling of being off stubbornly lingers on. Anger is joined by discomfort, the shadows in the corners of the room just a little bit darker than usual and did you see something dart down that alley way? The hallucinations creep into every day activities, paranoia and snappishness leading to insomnia and sleep deprivation. Try as you may to ignore it, the symptoms only seem to escalate over time. Maybe it's stress. Maybe it's something else entirely.

But it's stubbornly lingering on. Perhaps some rest will help ... ]

[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for Week 2 of the Bad Moon Rising event! Characters will start experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations alongside vivid violent thoughts at strange, innocuous moments. Some characters may start sleep walking and heading towards the Gate of Fog; none will make it, however, so lock your doors and keep an eye on your friends. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] along with the time/location in your comment titles. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! ]

Comments

[needsnoheadsman]

[Robb narrows his eyes at him, but nods, his grip on his sword's hilt loosening slightly.]

Direwolf. And I can see why--they're usually a great deal larger than their cousins, yet it would seem as if coming here does the opposite to them instead. [Meanwhile, Grey Wind is sniffing suspiciously at Isaac.]

[samantha_grey]

[Her lips pulled back and claws were visible. She looked at May, and there was that brief look that was almost like a predator baying at the edge of a leash. There was a dark flash of temptation that, as she recognized it, her eyes widened and she took several steps back.]

...god, sorry. [She reached up to press her fingers to her forehead.] I haven't been myself lately.

[servesthehuman]

Didn't you just say something?

[It's entirely possible she didn't. He had been hearing strange noises all day, this might have been another one. Still, Owen wanted to check.]

[saving_sound]

[She shakes her head. She's pretty sure she didn't say anything!]

No, I didn't... Umm, did you think I did?

[She hasn't even heard anything else in particular. How could he have heard something...?]

[mccallmemaybe]

Hey, she's just a baby. [ Isaac gets a warning tone from Scott when he shoves a little too roughly at the puppy. He'd understand if the dog was attacking him but she was only licking his face. ]

I was just taking her for a walk... [ Isaac makes it sound like Scott has entered Isaac's territory or something. He gets a closer look at Isaac's face and frowns. ] You've not been sleeping either? [ There's some slight bags under Scott's eyes too but he figures his lack of sleep has been caused by stress from getting the pet store up and running again. And he still manages to remain somewhat cheerful despite how tired he is. ]

Can I sit? [ He sits down on the bench before Isaac has a chance to say no. ]

[kuramaless]

Nah nah, it's fine! I got this.

[Which is why he offers a grin, ordering one bowl of chicken and one of pork ramen. The exchange of money happens to take some time, mostly because Naruto may, or may not be pushing himself to the limits with his money but he doesn't mind. Really.]

Okay! Now, we get a seat and wait!

[etoaktagamat]

[Leeloo watches the transaction, not noticing the time taken to pay at all. She smiles a little after he's done.]

You are kind to be doing this. Would you like to choose where we sit?

[kuramaless]

[Despite the pink tinge to his cheeks, Naruto shrugs - and gestures quickly for Leeloo to follow him to one of the booths lining the side of the ramen place.]

Ah, it's cool! Ramen's awesome. Everyone should try some!

[etoaktagamat]

If it is really as good as you say I am sure I will enjoy it.

[Leeloo follows him over and sits down in the booth of his choice. It's comfortable for restaurant seating and she hopes that what this ramen will do is quell her nerves.]

[freezerburned]

[Isaac just scowls when he's repremainded, pulling his knees up and resting his heels on the bench. In truth, he doesn't want Scott to sit next to him, even though he knows it's a silly thing to be angry about.]

Guess so. [Since Scott's already taken the liberty of answering and all.] And no, I haven't been. Erica's sleepwalking, and I-

[There's a pause. Does he really want to tell Scott why he's not sleeping? -of course not. That would just make him look weak.]

-I'm just not. Sleeping, I mean.

[servesthehuman]

I was probably mistaken, [Owen said, after a pause. He adjusted his glasses slightly, as if that would make him feel better.]

I'm terribly sorry for bothering you. Today has been...strange.

[true_renaissance_man]

[As soon as Loras's eyes fluttered open and he began to make sense when he spoke Leonardo released his shoulders and took a step to the right so he could sit on the edge of the bed himself. It was all very confusing, but now that Loras was aware again Leonardo could relax. Even smile about it.]

I did not know you walked in your sleep!

[What a way to discover that interesting quirk of character! ]

You must have walked all the way here. Amazing! Can you remember anything of the dream that brought you here?

DAY 326 - SEPT 14/15 - MULTIPLE DISTRICTS

[asgardmods]

[ About an hour before sunrise on Day 326, some characters will rise from their beds and move to stand at the barrier between Gladsheim Palace and the rest of the city. Altair stands in Baldr's district, Samantha in Thor's, Desmond in Sigyn's, the Eleventh Doctor in Heimdall's, and Nevy in Freya's.

They are unresponsive to outside stimuli and will not fight if approached or touched, but the moment they are released, they will simply walk back to stand at the barrier again. Occasionally, they will laugh - sometimes little bubbling giggles, others loud and shrieking hyena laughter.

About an hour after sundown, they will collapse in boneless exhaustion to the ground, suddenly aware of their surroundings again. ]

Samantha Grey | OC (Wiiiide open)

[samantha_grey]

hehehe

[What was better for looking extremely creepy while staring at the palace constantly, unmoving, a twisted and insane smirk on their face than a demon? Her tail lashed back and forth animatedly as she watched, the look on her face like somebody who'd seen something or knew a joke that others did not.]

[kuramaless]

'Course you will!

[He's grinning from ear to ear, and trying to arrange himself to be comfortable as possible. It doesn't take long for someone to arrive with two glasses of water.]

So er--

How long've you been here?

[etoaktagamat]

Some very long months. I was gray briefly, I had lost my bracelet.

[Leeloo scoops up her water and has a good long drink of it.]

[kuramaless]

Oi, really?

[That surprises him. Not that he's sure why. He shrugs though, folding his arms and leaning a little closer.]

So er-- which God place you live in?

Altaïr | Baldr | Open

[pushesgently]

[The Master Assassin is known for being able to hide his emotions away when necessary, but never to this extent. He seems focus, almost peaceful, yet far away—except when he breaks out in hysterical laughter.

That's a little creepy.

But he settles down again, to stand and stare for hours.]

[etoaktagamat]

Yes. Really.

[She's not surprised by the question. That's come to be a staple here.]

I am in Thor. What about you?

[kuramaless]

Freya...

[He just hopes she doesn't ask the question that tends to come next about abilities.]

It's kinda cool?

[etoaktagamat]

[Leeloo doesn't really care about the abilities here so she doesn't have a need to ask. She just takes another sip of her water.]

In some ways. It is.

[kuramaless]

Er, My house or yours?

[etoaktagamat]

Most of them.

[She misinterpreted what he said as a question so she went the natural course with it, which was assuming it was an invitation to comment.]

It is a very unusual thing, but like most of those things they also hold interest.

[kuramaless]

[Okay, well done Leeloo you've managed to baffle him.

Not that it's too difficult.]

The Houses?

They're pretty interesting I suppose?

Desmond Miles • Sigyn • Open

[familyissues]

[ Desmond has a way of grinning that can light his face up, warm, earnest and open with a touch of cockiness skimming the surface, the common precursor to one of his lame jokes. This time the smile doesn't reach his eyes, lending it an unsettling insincerity, a puppet making faces for its master. The laughter, when it came, was worse, hollow as if everything that made him him had been neatly scooped out, the leftover shell inhabited by something that only had a vague, horrifying impression of what a laugh should sound like.

Barefoot, in little more than the track pants he'd fallen asleep in last night, he should be thoroughly incensed at having to stand out in the cool morning air freezing his ass off, but even that doesn't seem to matter. He'll stand there and laugh, or stand in silence, it means little to him. ]
