when there's something strange in the neighbourhood

[triggeringbiggering]

[ WHO ]: Everyone who replied to the IC plotting post! Feel free to jump in if you talk it over with the group you're hoping to join, though!
[ WHERE ]: First off all over the apartments, then to the grocery store!
[ WHEN ]: From noon on March 5th!
[ OPEN/CLOSED? ]: OPEN!
[ RATING ]: PG (for now, will edit if anything big shows up)
[ WARNINGS ]: Some ghosts will be present, so violence or disturbing imagery may crop up!
[ NOTES ]: I will be posting to the body of the entry with the pairs of people and a link to the two sub comments for people to jump into! Please click it cut for more info.


In the apartments, the pairs will be:

Tian (nurturing) and Kai (blitzkrieging) - taking the first and second floor
Mika (wolfishsurvivalist) and Yosuke (andallforone) - taking the third and fourth floor
Peko (tooled) and Karkat (carcinogenetics) and Naoki (demonish) - fifth and sixth floor
Once-ler (triggeringbiggering) and Garry (fraternal) - seventh and eighth floor!

As Naoki is on hiatus due to internet problems, Karkat and Peko should wait near the stairwell of the fifth floor before heading off. Naoki can catch up ICly when the hiatus ends, if they're still up for being a part of the log! :)

In the grocery store, anyone who wants to come along should just jump into the thread. No structure, though posting orders may be arranged. ICly, this will come after the thread in the apartments.

The group will be using the Once-ler's apartment (301) is the base for the operations. Characters will meet in there (having been told in the IC planning post) and can return here if chased. The walls of this apartment are lined with old strips of red tape. They work fine so long as they aren't touched, which will cause them to just flake off.

Any comments or concerns please feel free to send me a PM or a private plurk (I have them open to non-friended accounts) at mydarkrosaline)!

[Honestly? Naoki doesn't care. He's too used to demons, and ornery people (even this pasty guy with horns) probably wont do much to make him break his composure.]

As long as she can take care of herself.

[tooled]

[ It's only when she hears their voices that Peko turns around, glancing from one of them to the other, her expression hard to read aside from seeming incredibly business-like at the moment. ]

You weren't that far behind, right? Besides, if something does happen in a place like this, then the amount of people involved in the matter won't change that much about it. [ Besides, it's more just that she's used to doing things on her own. ]

[carcinogenetics]

[Great. He got stuck with the morons. Have they never watched a horror movie?]

That doesn't matter. Just stick together.

[No point in explaining it to their thick heads. He looks along the row of doors.]

So, let's start from one and work our way through.

Hmm. First in line then. [He points to the one closest to them.]

It's better if we have someone looking in first to see if the room is clear. Who wants that?

[In all honesty he'd rather do it first considering what he is, but with the people he'd been shoved at, he wont be surprised if the girl volunteers.]

[tooled]

I don't have any particular feelings on the matter. [ aka she doesn't care, but said in Peko-speak.. she glances at the other two. ]

If it is needed, I don't mind looking, I can defend myself if needed. But if either of you insists, then that is fine as well.

[ she's not scared, after all. unnerved at times, yes, but in the end she has relatively little to lose at this point. ]

[carcinogenetics]

Oh for fuck's sake someone just - [Karkat shoves past them and opens the door to room five hundred and one. The lights are off, and he feels around the wall for the switch.

Immediately, he draws his hand back when he touches something wet and sticky, and he doesn't need to back into the hall and look at his finger to know that it's -]

Blood -

[His stomach turns at the sight of the bright red liquid, and he tries to wipe his fingers off onto the wall.]

Eurgh.
