SLEIGH BELLS RING ❄ MINGLE


SLEIGH BELLS RING


Those that escape from the theater all seem to come out through the same doors. When they get there, they can see that the theater isn't actually a building. There's only a free-standing set of theater doors on the playground. At the rear side of them is a brick wall.

Those that exit will find they can't re-enter.

None of the humans have seemed to notice the door or them, even those driving by.

Not everyone escapes at the same time. It comes in fits and starts, them filtering of the theater. Some can walk out mostly unharmed, some limp out, some come out supporting each other.

What they find outside is... uncanny. There in the playground is a massive sleigh, but one that looks not-exactly-traditional, with equipment and boosters that look almost like a mix of technology and something magical.

It's been expanded into many carriages, almost like a roller coaster. Harnessed to it are eight massive reindeer, champing slightly at their bits. It appears the people that attacked and created the theater are at least long gone. That means that as people slowly filter out they can check up on each other, provide first aid, and reassure each other.

OOC DETAILS

Status effects: Any injuries or damage that happens to a character will stick when they leave the Multiplex. That means that someone that gets facehugged by a facehugger will have an alien larva problem that may be causing some serious indigestion soon. Anyone that gets Borg-nanited through the neck will start having the nanites take over them. However the myth healing will slow these processes down until they can get to the Pole, and there are magical means at the Pole to help the characters survive this.

First Aid/Other Supplies: The sleigh will have magically anticipated their needs. While it won't have the antivenom for Kaa because only a magical plant that grows at the Pole can cure the bites, it will have plenty of well-stocked general first aid kits. Applying first aid can help the myth healing heal someone more quickly and is important for injured characters that opted out of the myth healing.

Timing: People can bendytime the timing of when their characters have escaped to play in this and "Let's All Go To The Movies" at the same time. People can also intro here late if they need to wrap some things up in the other post first.

Intro: Players can use this post to intro instead if that's their preference. You can just assume your characters had to run from scary things in the theater and either handwave their circumstances, or assume your character found a way out more quickly than others.

"Little bit," Stacia agrees. "But I knew what you meant, and I'm pretty sure he's too unconscious to take offense right now." She lowers her voice a little. "But there is at least one other werewolf here that's my type of werewolf; so if you hear animalistic roaring suggesting that someone has completely lost their shit, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on him while Elle and Kenzie and I dogpile whoever it is until they calm down."

They're not healing the way they usually do, but at least the three of them are able to get big enough to restrain the problem, and with all of them working together they can do it fast enough to keep other people from getting hurt.

And maybe, if they're really really lucky, Stacia still has access to Direct the Storm.

"I don't think it'll be a problem, because they didn't lose it in the theater, but letting you know just in case."

As to Dan having talked his way out of whatever trouble he ran into, Stacia nods once in agreement. "Yes, I am choosing to believe that's exactly what happened."

"A bad Yelp! review sounds completely reasonable in that instance," Stacia agrees. She closes the first aid kit as Elle stands up, then goes to collect her cup full of poisoned dude. Another quick check confirms that he's still breathing.

"I think that's everything for now," she says. "Given that I didn't have to deal with a Frenzy in the theater, whoever this other werewolf is probably isn't going to lose it out here. But keep an ear out for animalistic Rage-screaming, just in case. Kenzie and I might need some extra body weight on top of a suppressive dogpile."

"Unlike most cats,--" coughIsaaccough "--I do come when called."

Most of the time.

"I'll keep a nose out for them, and for anyone else we know. I'm interested to hear what this Jack kid's got to say."

Elle starts making her way toward the sleighs.

The smoke and fire fades away when Sam grabs him.

"Sammy..." Dean lets himself be pulled upright. "'S fine, I can walk."

He can't. He attempts to take a step and his leg crumbles beneath him. Sam's support is the only reason he didn't fall flat on his face.

He doesn't try that again.

Dean's mind seems to clear a little. He's able to remember where he is and what's happening. He's dead (well, dying) and in the middle of a hallucination. His brain's last hurrah before he properly kicks it.

He's hurting so much, and Sam's here. Time must be up.

"'M real proud of you, y'know. You got out. You look happy. Got yourself a girl an' all. Got yourself friends. Dad's real proud too."

Maybe this is what he needs to let go. Sammy with him, full-grown and healthy and happy like Dean'll never get to see him now. Sammy here showing him that he doesn't need him anymore. Dean's job is over.

[ He gives that 'eighty percent sure' a bitchy little scoff just to be a little bitchy. Nerd stats. Can't relate. But it's better than like... seventy percent sure? So.

Sure. He'll take his chances. ]


Nothing to write home about, man. [ He got chewed on by a gremlin earlier but then some weird girl helped him patch it up. His pockets are full of tampons and sanitary pads now because that's what his life is doing, apparently.

Nothing to write home about comparatively. Basically. ]


What about you? No bullshit. We're making a no-bullshit contract right now because if either of us dies I'm gonna be pissed. [ POINTS AT. ] And you don't want that, alright?

[ "If either of us dies here, I'm kicking our asses." - Steve Harrington. ]

[The bitchy little scoff barely registers, but only because Eddie is still recovering brain power right now. Completely rude, being bitchy about Eddie instead of something Eddie can also be bitchy about.

He tosses Steve a thumbs up in response, and sprawls out more comfortably on the ground, no longer feeling like the earth is rapidly shifting under his feet. We're good, we're stable.]


Jesus, I'm not going to bullshit you. Cool the lasers. [Eddie puts his hands up in mock surrender, but the whole 'I'm too chill for this attitude' vibe he's attempting to put down is totally at odds with the amused grin on his face.

Also, his hands are pretty solidly covered in blood. He's definitely forgotten about that part.]


I'm fine, dude. Not a scratch.
haircaring: (jesus h christ)

[personal profile] haircaring 2023-09-05 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ By all rights, Steve should figure out how to point twice as pointedly just for that.

Oh what a chill time we're having! On the ground covered in blood and resurrected from the dead! Normal goddamn Friday night! Like Max could come skating through those doors any second now all hale and whole and it wouldn't be just as much of a total mind bender.

Insane. This is actually insane. ]


I swear to god, I always think we hit the cap on how weird shit can get, and then it always gets weirder. Every time. There's reindeer out here. [ Dead dudes walking, no sign of his dumbass kids, Santa's reindeer standing in a parking lot... ] I gotta stop calling my shots.

Oh! Um, thanks.

[She carefully takes the handkerchief making sure to get mud on Eddie in the process. Except Brown is with her and is also covered in mud, so when he does The Thing he inevitably sprays mud everywhere.

In the meantime as she attempts to clean her face, she just smears the mud evenly.]


Better?

Apologies, I don't know why I got so stuck on this response.

You mean like, if you say the caster's name backwards, the magic stops?

[ The guy isn't necessarily wrong about magic having rules - and isn't wrong about Tim needing help - but it's hard to quantify the rules when they keep changing. ]

It depends on the individual's magic, power source, external or internal, demonic or otherwise, et cetera et cetera... you wouldn't happen to have a mirror on you? I can stitch myself up.

"Can do. Y'all ain't the first werewolves I been acquainted with." He gives Stacia a little wink. He'll have to get to know the new werewolf, especially aware as he is of the baggage from Stacia's world.

He gets serious for a moment and puts his hands in his pockets. "You made it through the theater without getting rattled?"

“Ta.” They take the kit from her with a warm smile, setting it down where it’s in theory still in reach, though she’d have to lean over.

“It ain’t nothing what won’t heal in a day or so.” They add, as they rummage through the contents, not really sure what they’re doing or what they’re looking for. Until their first change, they never really needed to contend with anything worse than the results of a playground brawl, and even then most of the time there was someone more inclined towards medicine than they are. As long as their healing kicks in sooner or later they should be fine, though, and better to set up the expectation that they’re a fast healer. “I reckon with that lot in there, we’re all going to be dealing with sommat.”

Nodding towards Kenzie, they lift their gaze from the box for a moment to acknowledge the most obvious of her injuries. “How’s your lot?”

[Honestly, Steve needs to cool it and enjoy the relative safety they're sitting in for like, two minutes. Eddie doesn't know how the guy's head hasn't already exploded from stress at several points in his life.]

Alright, alright, take it easy man. Obviously this is several layers of messed up and weird, but we can debrief about it later, yeah? Maybe just- I don't know, sit down for a second. You kind of look like a vein is gonna pop out of your forehead Alien-style.

[personal profile] bardsofprey 2023-09-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Eddie's super grateful, because despite the fact that he would never tell anyone as much, he does care about his clothes. But then Brown just kind of goes for it, and Eddie winces, looking down at his mud splattered jeans in dismay.

When he looks back up at Jennifer, he really can't help but crack a grin.]


No, uh- honestly, we're kind of both a mess. Might be a hopeless case.
haircaring: (we can't just go for a HIKE)

[personal profile] haircaring 2023-09-23 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Take it easy... sounds fake. They're out in the open. He only knows one person here. He doesn't know if anyone else he knows is here. Steve needs to be ready to physically beat something to death at any moment, and then he'll find a room to be alone in after this all somehow settles and have a panic attack or some shit, and then he'll.

He doesn't know what, exactly. They're in a whole Situation.

He's not gonna sit down. But he'll stop the rant because he guesses maybe that would get Eddie freaked out too, and scoff about the forehead vein thing instead. Joke's on Steve, that's already making him less tense. ]


We went through the trenches in there just so you could insult my good looks?

"I'll let you know who it is and how friendly they are to non-werewolves once I find out myself," Stacia says. She's likely to catch some heat for telling non-Garou about Garou things, but meh, she'll deal with it.

She smiles reassuringly and spreads her arms out, showing how not-maimed she is.

"Yeah, I think I got off easy. I got chased around by a dragon for a bit, and had to grapple with some horror movie slasher, but I think that he was just a normal dude and not something supernatural. I took his knife, but it's way too big for me to use comfortably if you want it?"
bardsofprey: (crazy train)

no worries!! <3

[personal profile] bardsofprey 2023-09-27 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That response catches Eddie a little off-guard, and he grins. It sounds like dnd.]

Yeah, exactly. Or, you know, if a huge wall appears in the middle of nowhere, a huge wall has vanished from another place.

[Uhhhh. Eddie frowns. As much as he'd love to prod more about this guys apparent experience with actual magic, that last part is too concerning to ignore.]

So you are hurt pretty bad. Look man, I don't have a mirror, and even if I did, that doesn't really sound like a great idea. I can, uh- get you help? Or-

[He winces rather than finish that sentence. Eddie really doesn't want to sew someone up. He knows how to sew clothing, but that is nooooot the same thing.]

[ Truth be told, Tim has DMed a session of a TTRPG to solve a crime. The line between his gaming and reality has already been markable thin. ]

Or doors that lead to seemingly nowhere? Too bad we left the rogue in the tavern.

[ He'd rather joke than agree that he's in bad shape. There's not much to be done; they're waiting to be evac'ed and - and this is the important bit - no one has come to help them.

This whole time, and not a single emergency force has turned up? No one's seen a sleigh and a ragtag bunch of people fleeing a door? Even in Gotham, there'd be sirens by now. Something's wrong, and there's no point in asking for a hospital.
]

A cyborg got me in the neck with some cables. Meaning it stabbed the jack into my neck.

[ His hand reaches up and puts additional pressure on the bandage. It's less painful now. (That's likely a very bad thing, given the Borg.) ]

I stitch people up all the time. It's usually not my own neck, though.

We might be.

[Jennifer giggles.]

But at least it means we can't make any dirtier, so we can lay on the ground all we want!

[She immediately preceeds to do so as she speaks, moving her arms and legs back and forth.]

And we can make snow angels!

[Eddie definitely has his own personal freak out waiting in the wings, but it's like too much has happened at once and he's way too tired and overloaded for his brain to load it up and hit go. He's kinda peaceful, but specifically in a weird, very dramatic way, like a sea captain all resigned to his fate as he sits in the eye of a storm. Sooooo Eddie.

Whether or not it helps with his own stress levels (it does) Eddie is glad when Steve stops pacing, because he honestly doesn't have many other methods for calming someone down.]


Hey, don't go putting words in my mouth. It's a very charming vein.

[We enjoy a little flirt in these troubled times.]
haircaring: (a little HUMILITY)

[personal profile] haircaring 2023-10-05 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He gestures to Eddie again. In like a "see!" kind of way. Like he'd gesture at him if this were part of some group argument about Steve's stress vein and someone finally took Steve's side in the argument. ]

Thank you. We all bring stuff to the table, man.

[ See, guys, who are not here! Charm!

He hasn't picked up that that was a little flirt yet. He'll re-run the tape later and probably figure it out then. ]
bardsofprey: (holy diver)

[personal profile] bardsofprey 2023-11-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It is, ironically, a very charming response on Steve's part, and that kind of makes Eddie want to kick something. ]

Sure, yeah. I bring copious amounts of fear and mid tier running skills, you bring a makeshift weapon and some nice veins. All areas covered.

[Eddie looks back down at his still bloody hands, grimacing at how sticky they're beginning to feel. Gross. He tugs his bandanna free from his hair, and does his best to start wiping them clean. It's only mildly successful.]

God, this is nasty.
haircaring: (retail changed me man)

[personal profile] haircaring 2023-12-12 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
They're only mid tier if you die, man. You did as good as anyone without crazy mind powers could do.

[ Good hustle, wish El was here to throw a car or something, etc. Real-ass Jaws was in there! By his accounting they did great. They got a C+ in whatever the fuck this situation is.

If a solid F in getting out of it clean. Ew. ]


Wanna check out the sleigh? I'm seeing first aid, so there's probably some Wet Naps or something in there.
