[OPEN] Phase 1

Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City
Rating: R
Time: January 31st
Description: Madness seeps into the city.




For once, the weather is good while malicious things brew within the city. It starts small, so small that no one notices -- a twitch here, a little boy who won't stop crying, the exasperated yelling of a woman at her husband.

By midday, the city is fast-approaching turmoil. Fights break out in the streets and small groups riot against every little thing. Dogs and cats attack their masters, and grudges and fears surface to pit people against each other. By evening, it's as if the entire city is being blanketed by madness -- but how? The barrier powered by Death the Kid is still in effect and the air in Death City is definitely clean.


ooc: Feel free to make your own threads. Please follow the format: [Character][Location/Time][Open/Close]

[Edit:] We've made two small changes to the times that the effects should start showing, from mid-morning to midday, and from afternoon to evening. It shouldn't affect the current threads or anyone's plans too much, but if you have concerns or questions, just contact us via email!

[Sarah landed and fell into a crouch on a rooftop across the street, green eyes studying the scene before locating the source of the tiles falling. She openly sneered as she settled in a crouch, having searched and finally found.]

What a childish way to hurt people.
soulparadox: (i did it for you)

[ Nataku turns to the young woman, a slight tilt of his head. He feels like he recognizes her -- at least, spoken to her once. But then, he answers her commentary with his own cold statement. ]

I see no reason why I should help them.

[She remained where she was, surveying the damage and not caring about the humans that were being injured. Civilians should have known better, but his efforts seemed boring and childish.]

Who said anything about helping? I said it was childish. At least hurt them like you mean it.
soulparadox: (if i knew there was a chance)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-09 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Do they mean enough to me to do something of that sort?

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-09 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She rolled her eyes, having little patience for what she considered general idiocy. Clearly he couldn't muster much care.]

You're hurting them anyway. Why not put that little bit of extra effort? They're just going to kill each other or hide like scared cowardly Terrans anyway.
soulparadox: (tell me i'm frozen)

[ There is something close to a laugh, before he tosses another brick off the side of the roof, then turns toward her. ]

That is the very reason why I am not going to put any effort into it. They are going to destroy themselves, anyway. Just like this entire world. That is what I have been thinking for some time.

Why should I protect this place? Why should I put effort into killing people? Why? There is no reason one way, or the other.

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-09 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sarah sneered in distaste at the reply before looking over the side of the roof at the fighting people, watching them for a moment. She had little care for them, but they supposedly were under Watch jurisdiction now, right?

Maybe a few broken limbs would set them straight, she thought before turning her attention back to Nataku.]


With an attitude like that, you'd be just have BREW send you home. No wonder you tossed your Meister aside; you don't care. Maybe 'effort' itself is too much for you to handle. Pathetic.
soulparadox: (i sacrifice for you)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-09 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Tassadar is someone who cares about others, and deserves to be with someone who knows what it is that they wish to do. I remembered what it is that I am, and what it is that I should do. I realized that I care about the people that I know, but not about this world as a whole. There is no point to it.

So, it is not 'effort' that is too much to handle... it is how you people care about everyone but go out to destroy yourselves immediately after. Exactly what is it that you are all doing? Exactly what is it that you wish to accomplish with your ruin? I cannot understand... and so it is best to not be anyone's Weapon.

[ Yes, he sounds as though he is talking relatively sane and rational, but this is hardly that. This was his madness. ]

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-11 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stares across the way, listening to the words because there isn't much in the way of tone or emotions. Funny little empty creature, she thought as she rested a hand on her chin while watching him.]

And you wouldn't want a world to keep those that you 'care' for safe? Your logic doesn't make much sense; it's childish really.

I'd get bored doing nothing, so killing Kishin Eggs and spying on people is entertaining. The world will burn eventually; Terrans can't live in peace no matter what those book-beaters say.
soulparadox: (into emptiness)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-11 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He had not thought of that. To make a world that is safe for them, rather than make a world that is safe for everyone. Is that a better way to go? ]

I will not argue that my thinking is childish. You are not the first to tell me so, but what that person said was that I was a child.

Then, you are just doing what you are doing for "entertainment?"

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-11 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He was an awful big child in her opinion, though she had looked into him a bit. It was hard to imagine him being a child.]

You appear to be a rather destructive child when you choose to be. [She was looking at the people below again.]

To pass the time until the next betrayal, nothing more. I just get what entertainment I can before having to kill on an order again.
soulparadox: (tell me i'm frozen)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-11 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I will not disagree with that statement, either.

[ His head tilts. ] Then, what right do you have to judge anyone when you have even less connection to this world than I do?

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-11 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[She considers his question seriously for a moment before chuckling softly to herself.]

Being human gives me that right. I may be a puppet, but within the strings I'm hung on, I can make decisions and judgement. I just am wise enough to know that in the end... this world will burn.
soulparadox: (i sacrifice for you)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-11 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So, if you were not human, you would not have that right?

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-12 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see animals making judgement calls like we do. Do you?
soulparadox: (tell me i'm frozen)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Then, it becomes a matter if you can speak or not?

[personal profile] ghostofaqueen 2012-03-13 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She raised an eyebrow at him, snorting and shaking her head. Was she really having this conversation with him? How stupid.]

It comes with higher thinking, idiot. [As if to drive the point clear, she tapped her temple with a gloved finger.] Mutes can still think.
soulparadox: (i sacrifice for you)

[personal profile] soulparadox 2012-03-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Then, if something stronger than you comes along ... will you let it judge you?
