WHAT: The "Monologue With The Moon" player plot!
WHERE: [emphatic shrug]
WHEN: 1/6/24
WARNINGS: Possible references to murder, violence, related dark themes, medical equipment, Omelas Kid™ Scenarios, shady institutions and their operations, etc.

You are standing in a nondescript, space-age sort of room; the walls are a silver metal so polished that you can almost see shadows of a reflection in it, and the floor is likewise sturdy and reinforced. There are two Star Trek-style sliding doors leading out of the room, one on the left wall and one on the right. Both are currently in open position, enabling you to see out into the corridor beyond; it looks pretty much the same out there as your surroundings in here. Maybe there are doors; you'd have to look closer to check.

Currently in the room with you is a pretty normal-looking wooden podium that's clearly seen some use (though in what ways, you'd have to look more closely at it to determine), and a very abnormal-looking escape portal that's just kind of floating in midair, definitely big enough for even a very tall human to walk through, but for the fact that it's behind an impenetrable forcefield. You're welcome to hurl yourself at this, hit it, whatever, all that you want, but unfortunately it ain't budging under any method currently available to you or your party.

Really, your circumstances look something like this:

The other thing you might notice is that your clothes have received a slight glam-up, in the sense that clipped to a pocket, lapel, belt loop, or other convenient area of your attire is some sort of ID card. That might be worth having a look at.

Speaking of having a look at things, maybe you ought to look around?

[ You know, somehow, a vibe of reverence for blood still doesn't make her feel amazing?

She wants to go examine the items on the counter. The jar obviously is important: she's curious about whether there seems to be any rhyme or reason to what's there. ]

[ Very surface level; in addition to her occult experience, she dated an artist, as well, but Kit wasn't exactly that kind of crafty. Still, with a few minutes of looking and a decent Intelligence check, it does click.

At which point her eyes widen. ]


Hang on. Hang on, let me see that jar?

[ What does the liquid inside look like? ]

Oi, didn't someone pick up a pen?

[personal profile] justscribing 2024-01-21 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I did. [Alhaitham comes over, brandishing a very fancy fountain pen.] Most likely it's used with the inks in this place to rewrite reality.
keepgodwaiting: (would you look at that)

[personal profile] keepgodwaiting 2024-01-21 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
So what do we think would happen if we took some ink--

[ Gesturing with the jar. ]

A pen--

[ Pointing at Alhaitham. ]

And a redhead--

[ Turning to point at Reno. ]

And had him write something in one of the journals?

—Fuck. Jo, grab an ink bottle and put it on the podium with the notebooks.

[ that's gotta be it. the place where they stand to write the realities that the wormhole takes them to. ]

You're asking exactly what I've been wondering. [Whether or not Reno has been slotted into the place of a subject, rather than an agent--and if that's granted him any temporary abilities with it.]

Possibly he could simply write away that forcefield around the exit.

[ kaveh looks up. he holds out the blank notebook, the one without his terrible chicken story?? ]

This was in an ever-replenishing pile of notebooks. It's blank. I think this is where the writing is done. Would this work?

[Alhaitham's arms circle around Kaveh from behind so he can just snatch that book and open it to the first page because he definitely saw Kaveh writing in that one.

Hm. He flips to a blank page before offering it to Johanna.]
I left Ghost's on the podium but it's better to work with an empty one.

[ the squawk emanating from kaveh could wake several magnitudes of the dead. ]

Alhaitham. Can't you see I'm already occupying this space? What good are your eyes for if not observing the world around you - couldn't you have simply gone around me, you brute? Is any of this necessary?
