( when he speaks his voice is soft an' easy, mild-mannered as all get-out, with an alabama accent that kicks like a mule to the head besides. he has the air of someone well-used to wieldin' some manner of authority, albeit in another fashion in a faraway place from this. )

For those of you I ain't met, name's Eugene Hicks, an' I'm one of the medics here in Beacon. If'n anybody finds themselves in want of food or company, Sundays me an' a few others are layin' out a spread at the Church. Anybody's welcome, all I ask is no fightin' under the Lord's roof. If'n you felt like bringin' a dish of your own to share, it'd be appreciated. ( he pauses, an' in a lighter tone obviously aimed to jest, ) First person to complain about my Ma's fried tomatoes or the lack of ice cream with the pie will be shown the door, no exceptions.

( it ain't a video post, but he ducks his head all the same. there's a slight jangle of his dog-tags. )

And, ah. Given that the El-Tee ( 'LT', short for lieutenant ) found a village across the river, Rastus seemed to think I ought to maybe work at buildin' a bridge so's we can all access whatever resources might be on the other side without any measure of difficulty. I can do carpentry all right, but if anyone can lend a hand it'd be appreciated. Apparently there's a creature in the river fixin' to drag folks under, so please mind yourselves if'n you're of a mind to get close.

That's all. Look after yourselves an' have a pleasant evenin'.

hey
so me and wash and gene were gonna go on an adventure in the woods
see what we can find, you know?
but we're looking for a couple of people to bring with us
maybe two or three
gene's a medic, wash is a marine, and i'm a wizard with experience dealing with monsters and nasty magic
anyone that thinks they could round that out would be great
but no serial killers or anyone that would like
murder us in our sleep
and sorry, but no kids yet
i know some of you are gonna argue that, but we have no idea what we're dealing with and we don't want that on our consciences
anyway, let us know
thanks

[ Elden's been fiddling with this tablet thing for awhile. Want to know how long? Because for the last ten minutes his tablet has been going on and off voice, you can catch little snippets of; ]

Damn it, work you piece of-

For the love of- why does there need to be so many buttons-UUGGGGH-

Finally, though he manages to stay on audio; ]


Right, so, hi everyone, my name's Elden. We've been here a few days now and I'm pretty sure everyone's already looking into whatever's going on here.

I mean, it's a big spooky, dark town, who wouldn't want to figure out what the hell was going on. So, there were a couple of things I wanted to bring up.

One is I think we need to start compiling all the info we've found out about this place so far. Even the stuff they told us when they got here. If we're ever going to figure out why this place is perpetual night that's probably what we should do. Maybe we could keep some kind of log book in the Inn to keep us up to date.

[ He pauses before bringing up his next point. ]

Second, if there's anyone willing to go into the forest with me? I'm not sure what's in there but it'd be dangerous to go in by yourself. Especially if there are undead lurking in that forest.

All right, well that's all for now. Thanks.

This is Wade. Doc Hicks and I wanted to put the word out that anyone who needs medical attention now or in the future can find one of us - I'm in Room 310 and Gene's camped out by the bonfire. We're in the process of establishing a clinic in the chapel vestry for the sick and injured. If you have any information on new medical developments from your time or have any medications from the future, please share them.

And lastly: if you go out into the woods, bring one of us along. That's what we're here for.

[ Recent events are enough of a push to get him to do what he was waffling about, but that doesn't mean he likes having to be the bearer of any news, let alone the kind where he gives mildly hypocritical advice. ]

i know it hasn't even been a week but apparently people are already biting the dust again, so

hi, i'm nate, and enough people have asked me about this crap that i should probably have made this sooner. i've been to another world like this before, the whole "kidnapped population of different people, different places" thing, got the t-shirt, so i might be able to answer some questions people have

death probably isn't gonna stick here, but that doesn't mean you should be testing your luck since there's always some kind of price with these things.

seriously, don't be stupid.

[ well, there's no way to say it, except to say it, so: ]

One of us died today. Big guy, blond hair. I don't know his name. I found his body.

[ that's his schtick, isn't it? finding bodies. ]

What I do know is that he fell on some rocks near the beach. Looks like an accident, no foul play. The fall shouldn't have killed him.

[ could've, if the bastard really were that unlucky, but it's unlikely. besides: ]

But it did break his lantern. Seems like Winters was telling the truth about that after all. Before anyone asks:

1) No, I didn't see it happen.
2) Yes, I checked for a pulse.
3) No, I didn't do it.


[ juST COVERING HIS BASES THERE ]

One more thing. I had to step away to get my tablet. When I came back, both he and his lantern were gone. No one else was here, I'm positive. They just vanished into thin air.

[ ooc | so as of today, rosinante ([personal profile] callada) is dead :C feel free to threadjack in this post and use it for discussion or whatever! ]

hey
so has anyone else noticed that their magic is all fucked up?
if you're not used to magic it'd be sweet if we could skip past the whole disbelief and shock part of this convo
i'm a wizard and it's cool as hell and i don't have a big white beard and now we're moving on
anyway my point is, nothing but the bonfire and lanterns seems to be casting any light
i figured maybe the darkness here was caused by a spell, but i have fire and light spells that are supposed to work anyway and they're not
so i guess my question is if anyone has spells or magic that are actually casting light
everything else i've tried casting has worked fine
