FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, MY FELLOW LUCETIANS

[fourteen]

Who: EVERYONE
What: TRAUMA!
When: ALL THE TIME
Where: ANYWHERE
Summary: HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAUMA. FREE FOR ALL IN THE SCARRING EXPERIENCES DEPARTMENT.
Rating: Gosh. I'm not sure. However, I suggest you hide your little'uns.

Basically, the purpose of this log is TRAUMA SPAM. If you didn't want to spam your flist with extra posts, or you wanted to post with more than one character -- or more than one character more than once! -- here is your place to be.

This will be a commentspam style log where you can thread start with your character hallucinating things. Whatever you wish it to be! It can even just be a more general thread start where they're not hallucinating anything -- yet. And each thread can get treated like a post, where that character's CR can react to the trauma going down!

If you still wish to actually post in your character's journal, you're of course totally allowed to do so. This is just here for funtiems and convenience for everyone who wanted a greater chance to post during this event! Feel free to use it anytime over the next few days, through Halloween, to do "posts" and threads with your characters.

Have at, guys!

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

[ Helios is beyond his limit so he'd be willing to try anything at this point. Call it desperation or what you will but having to constantly see her is taking its toll on him. ] Do you really think it'd be as easy that? I-I don't know. [ He just laughs without humor or much emotion behind it. ] I just don't know what to do to make it go away.

Nor do I. But we have to try something. [He glances back at Jenny, and regrets it] I can't talk to her. Can you? The alternative is just waiting, but who knows how long this will last. Do experiments normally last outside the village?

Re: Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

I-I don't think so. They just...they just keep coming. [ He looks to see Elise standing there as well. A clear indication of a shiver running through his body. ] I've never gone outside of the village during one. I don't know to be honest.

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

W-We'll try it. At worst, it will just be more walking. Maybe they just won't be expecting us to leave. Come on. [He grabs Helios by the arm and yanks him away from Elise, trying to get him to turn away] We just need a way through the mist.

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

Ah! Ye-yes. [ He doesn't mind the yanking, he actually prefers to not have to look at her right now. So he'll follow Giles nodding as he turns away completely. ] I can put up a barrier, that might work.

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

It would help if we actually knew what's out there. But no one seems to. People g-go into the mist and...come back.

Still. I think it can be safely said that we have nothing left to lose anymore. Try the barrier - we might make it. If we don't, we'll be back in a week anyway.

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

It sounds like such a grim prospect, but I-I just can't anymore. [ He'll just shut his eyes against the soft whisperings of the woman standing behind him. He gives a huff before nodding. ] Are you...sure? We don't know what might happen, and then there's the warnings people put out.

[ He bites his lip there's nothing left to lose, true, but then again there was two of them and they might stand a fleeting chance of making it through. ]

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure at all. [Giles has lied to Buffy, Willow, and Xander all week, but unfortunately Helios is the one who has to deal with honesty. He laughs tiredly.] It's probably a remarkably stupid idea, actually, and if you have any alternative ideas I would love to hear them. I may have taken leave of my senses, but that doesn't mean we both have to.

[Did you have a lovely dream? A lovely dream of darkness and death? A different voice. Giles stops dead, closing his eyes]

But enough is enough.

[ Helios doesn't know what to say because frankly he hasn't a clue as to how to make them stop. Ignoring your own personal demons can only continue for so long and the constant waves the both of them were being hit with was a bit much. Perhaps Giles had a point, staying here wasn't the best of ideas and perhaps the mist was hiding a cure. ] Waiting it out seems futile. I-I don't know any sort of spell for this type of thing unfortunately. A sound canceling spell would certainly be wonderful right now. [ He looks back at Giles. ] You-You don't plan on going through there alone do you? [ He won't allow that if it comes to it. ]

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

Helios, in case you haven't noticed, I'm dressed as a vampire. I've already given Xander a heart attack, and I don't want to scare Buffy or Willow. Especially not Buffy, because she can stake someone through the chest without thinking about it.

But I'm also not leaving you out here.

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

I know, I know. I-I can't go back to the apartment, not with her following me like this. [ He looks back at Elise another shiver going through him before he abruptly turns away. ]

It doesn't seem like we have much of choice does it?

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

If we're in agreement, then. [Giles takes a deep breath before chanting quietly in Sumerian]

Shield around us
Never falter.
Shield protect us
Keep us from harm.

Shield around us
Never falter...

((ooc: I'm assuming they both get pounced by the mist monsters and separated?))

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

[ A light blue circle encompasses Helios and Giles as he casts his own spell. Extra protection in this place never hurt, right? He face takes on a more serious expression one that never gets used much, but for this entire week alone it is acceptable. ] Shall we go then?

((ooc; fff yeah that's fine by me. ))

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

[Giles nods, but doesn't stop chanting. Extra protection never hurt at all.] ...keep us from harm. Shield surround us, never falter...

[And, if Helios will walk with him, Giles heads into the mist.]

Outside CH 7

[folklorist]

[ And that he does. His eyes keeping focus on the area behind them while Giles takes up the front. It's hard to really see anything though, perhaps using their other senses would be best. ] I can't see a thing in this fog.

[ A slight huff of frustration passes his lips, as a shadow flickers past them both in the corner of his eye. It was probably just another hallucination or maybe not. He didn't really know anymore. ]

Re: Outside CH 7

[consultmybooks]

Neither can I. [He can barely see Helios in this fog. Just shadows, all around them, and the saving grace is that Helios is the most human looking shadow of the bunch.]
