WEEKLY BULLETIN


[This week, the bulletin opens with a video. It's been shot from a webcam that seems to be perched atop a computer screen, and in front of the screen is Robin, biting her lip as she types frantically. If she meant to start recording herself, she doesn't show it. A timestamp in the corner reads 17 NOV 03:02.

The room behind her is cozy, resembling the control deck of a battleship as redecorated by a teenage girl. That's essentially what it is, after all. The red beam of the lighthouse flares occasionally at the top of the screen.

Robin's harried typing continues for a few moments, uninterrupted, until a shadow slinks up from the staircase behind her. One by one, strings of fairy lights flicker out, the room going dark save for the glow of the screen. Robin finally notices just before the last of the lights die, her hands freezing on the keyboard, but she doesn't dare turn around, not yet.

This video comes with sound, and everyone's device's volume will crank to max volume to really emphasize Robin's shaky breaths as she listens, head tilting to glance over her shoulder at the darkness. The image flickers, crackling with static and distortion, until—]


Kë̥̟̝͇ͦ̈́̋— ee͍͔̺͔̖̕p— er͖̥͓͔̼̤͍—

[Robin whips around, her chair toppling over as she stands, but the video crackles again, and she's flung back against the desk. The computer screen crashes to the floor, taking the camera with it, and the feed stays focused on the floor for a long, long time. Eventually, it fades into static.

When it clicks back on again, the camera has been cocked up just enough to pull the room into view again. The timestamp in the corner reads 28 NOV 14:26.

Robin is slumped against the wall, filthy with blood and sweat, eyes glassy as she stares up at the forest spirit looming over her. The spirit cranes their head toward the camera, their eyes flashing green, and they wave to the viewers in a clumsy, jerking motion. Then, they drop something heavy and metallic in front of Robin, and she jumps at the sudden noise. It's a lantern, long broken and in pieces.

The forest spirit tips forward at the waist, bending down to press their face against Robin's as she whimpers and tries to keep still. They negotiate their forehead against hers, their green eyes flashing until she musters the courage to look up, and then they trill.

There's a scream, and the feed again cuts to static.]

An hour, got it.

[ it's a little after an hour that peter turns up at the dock — it feels like barely any time has passed at all since the last set of arrivals turned up which makes sense given he's just lost two weeks. it's not like he hasn't been through something similar before: there'd been the whole — everything with kraven, and then there had been the time with the skin-shedding and being reborn and—

whatever, point is: he's been through some weird things in his time, and a two-week long dream only kind of approaches the top ten. the bigger, personal crisis involved in it all is knowing that it could have been avoided, knowing that the town was under attack whilst he was unconscious and knowing that someone would have been protecting him.

(or: peter parker's guilt complex.)

despite the incoming arrivals and relative chaos that is beacon, it doesn't take him too long to spot quentin, and when he does, he lifts a hand in a wave. ]

[ It wouldn't have surprised him. This is what Vanitas is best at, after all; finding the injury and digging in with fervor. It wouldn't be the first time someone walked away from him and definitely not the first time Riku had done it either.

The parting shot is on his tongue, too, and sizzles there ready to be let loose right up to the moment Riku looks away— and Vanitas takes that as his victory.

His gaze clocks Riku's face, tracking him almost without blinking, like he's still waiting for more push back— but his voice is lower, now that they're closer, now that it seems like less of a fight. Vanitas leans into his personal space, nearly touching. ]


I'm right.
webshoots: (Default)

[personal profile] webshoots 2019-12-02 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. So the other thing we've got to figure out is: how do we protect the town? It's just been attacked and we're on the backfoot.

No, I'm not going to tell you no. I am going to ask if you're sure because I don't wanna make you do something you're not sure of.

( would he appreciate the backup of a fellow magic user? yes, yes he would but he doesn't want quentin to feel obligated. )

It might be really dangerous.

My first instinct is to try and put everyone in one place and defend that place heavily but I have a feeling some people aren't going to want to do that.

( for one reason or another. )
featherknives: (It has to be done)

[personal profile] featherknives 2019-12-02 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought so too, back when I arrived.
I don't know what else I can do.
But will NOT let them kill me again. If anyone comes after me, I'll kill it. There's no negotiating with these things once they are set on skewering you like a rabbit for a roast.

You are standing in the defense of these creatures, and yet those same creatures may have pushed previous people to their limit. The Keeper said that before. That people went crazy here. One doesn't just choose to suddenly turn into a maniac.

Those hallucinations, the green-eyed spirits- ever thought that people got tortured into madness. Into killing themselves- unintentionally or on purpose.

I've given them a chance. I've been giving them chances since I arrived months and months ago. Always doubting Keeper over those creatures, letting her be the responsible one for what happened.

Not anymore.

If you survive, Mr. Murdock, I'll make an entire network post.

Don't flatter yourself.

It's not hard to be smarter than these buffoons. They just happened to gather all in one place.

I don't know why you'd bother holding back when they prove you right.

What do you hope to gain from such a feckless venture?

You want to feel good about yourselves?

You should all be talking about what you saw in your dreams, not organizing some stupid rescue mission Robin doesn't even want.

Because even I grow weary of telling idiots the same things over and over. And much like there's no triumph to winning a game over a child, I find myself not particularly inclined to engage.

[. . .]

But by all means: if you wish to enjoy that thrill, don't let me stop you.

I didn't dream.

( so there. )

And unless you're going to do more than name call, I'm going to end this conversation. You can have your opinion, I can have mine and that gives you the option of saying 'I told you so' if things go wrong. Enjoy that.

If anyone knows a way to get to her...I could heal her of her wounds. I'm not sure if that'll help any, but if anyone else has been attacked, please come see me for medical treatments too.

[ A pause before he writes another message. ]

I know I just arrived here but as a doctor I can't just let people suffer like this. So if there's anything I can do to help...

[ He might not be able to translate what's ever up there but he sure as hell can help anyone injured currently and that's exactly what he plans on doing. ]

Hey, repeating myself here, but I'm not defending them. I'm not justifying what the spirits do.
Absolving or holding to account these guys based on our sense of right and wrong is pointless.
Exploring the really difficult opportunities might just be key to our survival.

For what it's worth, we do a pretty good job sickening our hearts all by ourselves. But the green eyed spirits sure know how to help that along.

Anyway. Thanks for hearing me out. I am sorry about what happened to you.

[personal profile] mindofathief 2019-12-03 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. I never actually saw it.

[Maybe the Dark Dragon is a metaphor.]

But if his heart told him to destroy the world once he woke up, then that’s what he has to do. There’s no way he’s let anyone survive.

[There are so many things that settle wrong with Xayah as he says that. She was a former warrior, killer, by now probably even recognized as a war criminal, if Vastayans found peace with humans. There is nothing, nothing more important than life and freedom.

Both of which were taken away from her during her life and now in death too.]


I'm not going to be anyone's puppet or experiment. And I don't need pity from you.

Have any of the other fliers responded?

[He feels like he's putting this off on others, and that makes him hesitate to ask. But he's never been one to turn down a quest and even with his injuries and all he's been through he's not about to start now.]

Give me another day or so and a decent game plan maybe...it won't do much good if we all just get swatted out of the sky like they said happened to Crowley. Flying is a struggle as it is.
notthatjason: (Drop of Jupiter)

[personal profile] notthatjason 2019-12-03 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's a start...but it's only going to get us so far if we can't figure out how to bridge that difference in understanding. It isn't even really about the difference in language use, it's other stuff too -- fundamental stuff that they just might not relate to. It's like trying to get the gods to understand the feelings and desires of mortals. They have such a different level of existence that getting them to accept the consequences for their actions when it hurts or kills mortals is nearly impossible.

The only time I saw a god start to understand that was when one was forced to become mortal himself...

[there's a pause, Jason shifts in his seat as he realizes there's been a miscommunication here.]

Return? I didn't go to sleep with the one's that ate from the feast. I passed out from exhaustion shortly after the spirits stopped attacking. Probably also from the broken arm...I've never had to deal with this without ambrosia to take the edge off and speed up the process.

A puppet? Experiment? Pity?
Give yourself some credit and give me a break.
I understand you're hurting and you're angry, but that doesn't give you a pass for what you do and say with it.

[personal profile] featherknives 2019-12-03 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
This place doesn't see us as anything but yet another attempt to solve the mess they themselves probably created.
I refuse to die over and over again for some kind of "learning experience"
And nothing gives you a pass to tell me what to do or think
You go back to your murdering spirit buddies
And tell them that if any one of them even crosses my path, I'll kill it
equinoctials: (pic#13339951)

[personal profile] equinoctials 2019-12-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly it, Jason. On the other hand... remember the lights on the lake? Maybe it's through things like this we can find common ground.
You talk to gods often? Kidding.

How long has your arm been broken? Did anyone look at it yet?
It
What?
This can probably wait, but... Jason, first this stuff about gods and now ambrosia.
Were you on Mount Olympus?
