2 Dead Gary's - Pre-Event

[sculptedash]

[The waves of Ash's emotion bubble, roil, and crash across the murmur in a more frantic and disjointed feeling than the last time. When she speaks up she sounds dazed and tired, but she tries to force that down as much as she can.]

Yeh. s'ti hu Hsa

[Okay. That came out backwards. Cool and normal. Don't mind her. She gives her head a shake.]

So about those subway tunnels. Ozpin and I went down to investigate- And I think we can safely say Don't go down there. They're infested with hosts- Not safe.

We managed to get out of there- I might have gotten a little beat up, but we got out.

[She might be dealing with the after effects of that now.]

But since we got out I’ve been seeing flashes and memories from when… I guess when all this happened- I saw flashes of so many different people, and they were all so scared- Then they looked up at the moon, and they started to change.

I don’t know if some of this is on the murmur- One of the messages I heard was the same as the one Jayce found - It kept repeating I am the teeth of god, I ma eht theeet fo dog…

[And the wave of her emotions suddenly rile up again. They buzz like that for a moment, and there's a sensation like they're being soothed, or even muffled.

After a moment a different voice cuts in: Ozpin. He sounds weary, slightly strained, but his words come through steady and clear. ]

... As Ash said, the unground areas are extremely dangerous. The hosts in the subway stations awoke before we traveled more than a few meters from the stairs. They were single-minded in their pursuit of us, and there was no clear limit to their numbers.

I can't recommend that anyone else venture into the subway. But for whoever inevitably chooses to explore them regardless, know that the hosts did stop pursuing us after we retreated back up the stairs.


[OOC: The vision Ash saw can be found if people go searching through the murmur.here. Note ooc chatter about elements of succumbence and hosts if they go looking for it.]

"Absolute Cinema" worthy.

[sculptedash]

Personally getting ripped apart by infected zombie people would have been cool.

But this- this is the good stuff.

Write that down.

Or I guess if we die, other people can find it on the murmur and be like "Damn. They had the right idea."

[sorte]

On it.

[ they can keep these for later for their epic blockbuster or adding to the murmur for the next suckers that get dragged in after they get wiped out. ]

This is the classic recipe for the doom of an entire advanced civilization by something so small and technically weak that it can't even do anything outside the body of a host.

[sculptedash]

I've seen something like it where I'm from too. It was an all powerful being that had been locked away, but it could still reach out with fractions of it power. It would influence and control hosts into doing it's bidding.

[Ash was one of those beings, but she hasn't exactly put together that she too was being manipulated.]

[sorte]

Sounds familiar to me, too. Guess all universes deal, huh.

[sculptedash]

You have no idea how true that actually is.

I’m pretty sure my thing eventually will become an every universe problem.

[sorte]

Well, if we ever get out of this alive, we'll have some more practice, I guess.

[sculptedash]

We'll be able to crush all the other teams at the upcoming "Eldritch Abomination Obliteration" tournament.

[sorte]

Nice.
