Who: Ciel & Sebastian.
When: December 14th.
Where: Speculum 2.
Style: third.
Status: closed.

( Ciel holds grudges. )

Who: Aizen Sosuke (fakegod) // Sebastian Michaelis (xthecorvus).
Where: Aizen's house @ Ordo neighborhood.
When: Saturday night.
Style: [ACTION]
Status: [CLOSED]
Warning: none (yet).

[Aizen usually just listens. To the people around him, to the continuous flow of voices on the SFC. He listens and dispatches the discovered informations. The way Vatheon works, his most or less interesting residents... There is always something to catch is attention.

This week, for example. Witnessing such a curse is quite a distraction and a relief to not be affected by it. Aizen does not wish to think of the consequences if someone else had been in his body, discovering his powers. Also, he was not sure that this unfortunate person would have been able to survive the whole experience.

The Shinigami smirks at the thought and then switches the SFC off, something poking at his mind. There is a very familiar presence not far from him, from his house. A certain young man that he met a month ago.

Sebastian, don't be shy. The kitchen's window is open. Come in and say hi.]

Who: Vegeta and ~Vatheon~
Where: All over!
When: Wednesday, all day
Style: I can adapt to either
Status: Open!

[Since refusing to go to the masquerade, Vegeta has been banned from his gravity room until he goes out and "has some fun". No amount of protesting that training is his idea of fun has restored his access. Training in the living room is not the same, though it was satisfying to see the look on Bulma's face when he made the entire room smell like a dirty gym bag.

Until she sprayed him with perfume.

It's been a few days and he's finally antsy enough that he's just conceding to the damn woman. He walks up to the first person he sees, looking intense.]

You. Let's have some fun.

Who: Sebastian Michaelis and all of you
Where: Anywhere around the city
When: Late evening of Gluttony day
Style: Action. Will follow you though.
Status: Open... LIKE YOUR SOUL

( Its hiding in the dark, its teeth are razor sharp )

Characters: vatheon + an eventual mystery guest star
Location: island + new area
Time: all week starting monday
Style: any
Status: open - threadhop & theadjack away

[ after the kicked up damage wrought by yami in the south forest quadrant settles down and becomes surveyable by monday, characters are in for a little— or, well, a big surprise that is the secret research facility. the entrance of it is easy enough to find, thanks to the destruction— although a lot of the research facility itself is destroyed as well. the power still works, at least! although whatever network it had seemingly been hooked up to is currently (and likely permanently) offline.

near the ENTRANCE of the facility, characters will likely find a very large chart on one of the walls— it resembles a map with handwritten annotations and will undoubtedly prove useful in further exploration. there's nothing else interesting near the entrance, sans for a few empty desks and a trash bin full of what appears to be torn up employee information of some sort. the other areas that can be found will be as follows:

DORMS

↪ pretty self-explanatory, although they are extremely minimalistic and completely abandoned. it's likely that the scientists made use of these— some of the beds seem a bit unkempt, as though they were recently used; whereas some rooms have full garbage bins with various papers. many of them are unuseful or flat-out irrelevant, others appear to be outdated schedule data— the dates on most of the papers seem to be from a little over a year ago. basically, the bins are filled with what they were made for— trash.

VARIOUS LABS

↪ deeper into the facility, it's obvious that quite a lot of research had been being conducted within— multiple rooms seem to be arranged for just that purpose. most of the rooms are empty or have a lot of strewn tools within them as though they were emptied in a hurry. although one room in particular was left as it was; it's both locked and blocked off though, and might take a little force in order to get into. once inside, a completely white room will be found that might feel familiar to people who had been directly involved in a strange event that had happened quite a while ago... the room is slightly less white than any "experiments" might remember, however. in fact, there seems to be quite a bit of dried blood about the place. the blood can be found on nearly everything in the room— the table accompanied with surgical tools, the cabinet filled with both syringes and old vials of a blue fluid, and a prominent list visible on one of the walls.

MAIN LAB

↪ one lab in particular found further within the facility appears to be bigger and better than all the others— it's also the only lab with a multitude of computers. due to the power being on, computers will be responsive— although because whatever network they once runned on is no longer online, the only data accessible is offline data found within any harddrives or memory devices.

and there is plenty of that. however, any data found is heavily encrypted and unlike anything ever seen before, so even a normally excellent hacker will have a problem getting past the security walls; and the only file that can be opened immediately seems to make no sense whatsoever:

w3spEvU3

furthermore, nearly everything resembling paper evidence has been torn or shredded, as evident by the completely empty and ajar file cabinets— not to mention the fact that there are plenty of scraps of unreadable paper strewn across some parts of the floor.

SUBMARINE EXIT

↪ in the deepest part of the lab is a peculair hallway that seems to drop downward— which is curious, since the facility is located so closely on the edge of the island itself. although everything becomes clear should one reach the room near the end of the lowering hallway— a majority of the equipment is damaged, but it is indeed a submarine exit of some sort. could this be how all of the scientists left so suddenly..? in fact, most of the submarines are missing— sans for one, but it's quite old and probably nonfunctional in its current state. you're fully allowed to try and fix it, but it will take both a team of people and several weeks.

CONTAINMENT UNIT

↪ also in the deeper part of the facility, although closer to the main lab than the submarine exit, is a completely closed off area— mechanical doors and a digital lock that seems to be online block all from entering. the door seems to open automatically for a keycard, but there's also an emergency override function— that activates via a password. blinking in an almost mocking fashion, it prompts you:

Who: Rayfell and Vatheon!
Where: Fountains
When: August 6th, around dark
Style: Starting [Action], but I'll follow your lead
Warnings: None right now
Status: Open

( Lead me a light? )

Who: Madame Red and YOU!
When: July 23rd, evening
Where: The plaza, near the coral!
Style: Action to begin with, but willing to do prose.
Status: Open to everyone!

[Angelina wonders if she lost her way in London after Elizabeth Stride. Did she pass out, anyway? She can't remember how she ended up soaking wet in something else than blood... She notices Grell is not around. If she was here, she would be making a scandal of having her red outfit ruined. Angelina's was ruined already anyway.

Fortunately, she still carries a bloody scalpel with her. As she looks around, she realizes she is in a dome underwater. How did she get here, anyway? Where is this place? She can only be wary as she takes a few steps away from the Plaza. Even though her fine clothes are dripping wet, she holds herself in an elegant manner that makes her look sophisticated. Anyone who happens to see her would realize she's an aristocrat. Quite an outdated one, by modern standards, of course. Just before anyone shows up, she manages to stash the scalpel inside her sleeve.]

( So one day the tables got turned and things happened )

Who: A very changed Anthony J. Crowley and YOU
Where: Everywhere and anywhere
When: Nighttime
Style: Fine with either one!
Status: Open like YOUR SKULL I mean.

You might be walking alone at night. The air is calm and honestly, it just seems like another normal night in Vatheon.

Except for the very large...well, thing standing not too far away from you. It's very tall, and that hammer in its hands is large, cold, and unyielding- it looks incredibly heavy, and the chains dangling from it do nothing to make the mental image of it boring down on you any better.

It stares at you, barely moving, the gas mask it wears betraying no emotion. What could it want? What secrets could be hidden under that gas mask? What indescribable horrors created this monstrous and brutal being, who could probably bash in your skull without even a thought and-

"Oh, sod off and stop staring at me like that. I'm not that scary."

Yes, you just heard that right. Coming right from the thing is the unmistakable voice of one Anthony J. Crowley.

And he sounds incredibly annoyed. Hey, you would too if you spent the entire week being a Bogeyman.

[ooc: Yes, Crowley has been turned into none other than the eponymous Bogeyman from Silent Hill: Downpour. Basically, for those who want to avoid Downpour spoilers, he's a Silent Hill monster who stands for all the evil that a person tries not to attribute to himself (like when you blame a rock for stubbing your toe- the Bogeyman is that rock, except at a way more extreme level) and the desire to judge others. If you remove his mask, one'll see the person (or people, in some cases) who one believes is a "true monster".]

Who: Lili and you
When: Midday
Where: Town Plaza
Style: Your choice
Status: Open

Sebastian! Where are you? Look at the state of me. I got my new dress all wet. Fetch me some new garments.

[She was just in a fight moments ago. One last blow and she would have won. But before she could've delivered her coup de grâce, a force had pulled her back and blacked her out. When she came to, she was alone, dripping wet and in a place she didn't know]

Did I get kidnapped again? Father would be most displeased. I must find my way back. Sebastian! Where are you?!

[She was never without her butler. Though she did all the fighting, Sebastian was always there to tell her how proud he is of her or how fine a young lady she's turning up to be. Now without him, Lili felt... vulnerable... helpless...small]

Sebastian, you dolt. It's almost teatime and you're not here...

[She let out a long sigh before proceeding to scan the area and was pleased to find she wasn't truly alone. People! She brushed her clothes with her hand, fixed her hair and tried to appear the most presentable she could manage. When she was satisfied, she approached the nearest passerby and asked.]

Hello. I seem to have misplaced my servant. Where might I find another one?
