+ Welcome to Hell +

[vitaelamorte]

As Tweedledee and Tweedledum announced rather unhelpfully, there's an event on! It will last from Friday, 12/2 through Monday, 12/5.

Let's go to a hell dimension! Quor'toth is survivable, but along with nonmagical technology being rendered unusable there (guns are the main example though that is the extent of the explanation), it brings out the worst in people because it's just so dark. Its gargantuan Old One is also its namesake, and has a particular talent for squashing love and compassion. He literally will suck the life out of the world.

Within the landscape of the dimension are myriad awful things that can kill you: from flying molerats to acidlava pits to overgrown demon badgers. The residents of Wonderland would wake up in a settlement where a small nomadic species had set up huts among the cover of leafless trees. Here, the residents will find the remains of food and cover. If they huddle in for the duration of the event, they might find themselves relatively safe, even. They'll also find the remains of the little society's idol, Connor the Destroyer. His image is drawn and displayed in nearly every hovel, adorned in the skins and body parts of the monsters he had slain, like a dark creepy Shiva-Jesus.

The name of the game is to survive the mental effects of the dimension while also figuring out creative ways to survive without technology.

OVERVIEW (who doesn't love lists and links?)
→ DEMONS:

Think of an animal, make it the size of a human or larger and make it nearly impossible to kill. Naked molerat tooth fairy, for example. Or angry demon dino-badger. How about giant chompy beetle? Fanged rabid kangaroo-ram? Large boney stegosaurus with tentacleface? Don't forget actual freaking Quor'toth, the Old One who’s sucking the life out of everyone while it slumbers underground.

The anomalous friendly demons will be red Jar Jar Chewbaccas that are actually kind, helpful, and a little dim. It's their settlement the residents woke up in, but they've since moved on to settle elsewhere. They can be found by anyone wandering beyond the edges of their abandoned homes, of course.

→ SETTING:

[ 1, 2 ] Barren; withered trees grow in copses, backed by sharp cliff facades which acid rivers run through. In short if no demon kills you it’s likely the setting will.

→ EFFECTS:

Residents' darker tendencies will slowly rise to the surface, but it's something they would be aware of and can combat / apologize for as it's happening. Modern technology gets rendered unusable -- magic is fully opertaional though, so fortunately, that leaves the network usable.

One last note: deaths during this event count as Mansion deaths. Anyone who dies will remain dead until the end of the event.

[vitaelamorte]

Come at me

Re: + Q&A +

[forwearemany]

So what, exactly, does this whole no tech thing mean for Legion? Will they be non operational? Humanized? Mysteriously working somehow?

Christine | Angel, Jo, Lily & Kanji

[vampdetective]

Angel is going to be extremely invested in this event because not only is it from his home universe, but this will be his first time actually seeing the hell dimension where his son was forced to grow up. While he'd known Quor'toth was terrible, everything he knows about it is secondhand, so this is going to be unreal for a number of reasons. He'll also be scouring for whatever information about Connor himself he can find here, even if it's only an event-- this is probably the closest he'll get to be to him for a long time. :( Spoilers, no matter what happens during the event, he's not going to be okay afterwards.

Jo, Lily and Kanji will all be present, but have no solid plans yet!

[eatsyourscience]

Definitely need to do something with Kanji and Souji (and Minato?). I want to play with this darker tendencies thing, since Souji never had a Shadow.

Brooke ][ Kenzi & Rose

[morethanasidekick]

As I'm officially coming back from a lengthy Hiatus I'm hoping to dive in head-first with this.

Rose & Kenzi will both be there. Rose will more likely be trying to fight stuff while Kenzi will be looking for scary looking people to hide behind A+.

[vampdetective]

Rose, would you like to fight a thing together. >.> For bonding purposes.

[theothermrgray]

Unfortunately, I'm going to be having a merry old time at Dickens on the Strand while everyone is burning in Hell.

I'm putting Dorian on autopilot. If anyone needs him, he'll be holed up in one of the huts, terrified of the landscape and the vast amounts of corruption in what's left of his soul. He would hate for anyone to see him like this, anyway.

Souji, Kaneki, Naoki

[eatsyourscience]

I want to play with the "darker tendencies" thing with Souji, since he's pretty good at being a pretty good guy.

I have zero plans for Kaneki and Naoki, though the latter can be relied on for fighting things.

[jivitadana]

Oh, man, darker stuff. Awesome. XD

I kind of want Naoki and Minato to go fight things together! They can meet, finally. ^-^ (And of course, if Kaneki's around then Minato can fight things with him too). XD

[failedparenting]

John knows he's gonna literally end up in Hell in his canon anyway, so he might take it better than others. He will, however, be going fucking hard because Mary is going home, and he copes with that horrifying trauma by throwing himself into hunting. Those who usually know him as prickly but okay will get to see him how he's regarded at home by other hunters- just fucking ruthless. He will try to go off by himself, and probably try to kill the peaceful demons too. Someone should probably...stop...that.

Rei | Leonard Snart

[catchacold]

Leonard is pissed that his cold gun doesn't work and will do what he can to get another weapon that does work asap.

He is also going to look out for the people he feels protective over, most of all Maya and Riley, but also Dustin, Frisk, Ray and you notice how Ray is the only one in that list under the age of fifteen? Think about that, Ray, just think about that.

Anyway, I have no solid plans yet! His darker impulses are mostly that he'd kill faster, I guess, probably also be more controlling? It's hard to say, I'll have to think about it more.

I'M OPEN FOR ANYTHING.

[cuteshit]

Kanji is going to be trying to help out his bros, but he would also really want to actively make sure Maya and Riley are safe and doing alright, so this could be a good time for us to lay some groundwork for Kanji and Len? Survival situations are always fun, plus it gives us a jumping-off point for their Talk after the event!

Coraline Jones

[doorkey]

WELP, this girl officially needs an adult!

Preferrably a capable and protective one.

Re: Coraline Jones

[noreason]

Naoki!

Katie | Rebekah Mikaelson

[easily]

Rebekah would be completely unsurprised that as an Original, she'd end up in Hell. She'll be fighting her darker tendencies which will mostly end in trying to eat/and or compel people. So if you want to be nommed on by a pretty blonde vampire, I could make that happen. She'd probably kill in general more easily too, if provoked in such a way.

[poppycock]

but what if... klaus and rebekah get into a fight

eleven

[likeseggos]

so eleven is really good at taking care of herself ... and killing ppl with her brain when they get in her way. she's also used to other dimensions being a thing. so uh. THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD TIME HUH

come at me bro

[fulllifeconsequences]

So I realize they've never met, but: picture Chara and Eleven as "adapting surprisingly well to Hell and also prepared to kill some shit" toddler team?

Frisk + Tim

[postictal]

TIM is gonna be in hard-and-fast survival mode. He's gonna do his damnedest to resist getting violent and angry since he's naturally someone who's inclined to care, even if he desperately tries not to. He'll probably end up isolating himself in the process to keep people safe from him because that's...what he does just as a general coping mechanism. I don't have a lot of plans for him thus far but we'll see if that changes? Mostly I'll be pretty busy because...

FRISK is currently, as some may or may not know, something of an emotionless and non-determined lump due to certain events. Only, as of Thanksgiving, they've started to Feel Feels again, little trickles of emotion running through them, and they're seriously wanting Outtie from those.

Luckily for Frisk and unluckily for everyone else, they've been granted exactly the means to do that. As the event progresses, Frisk will mercifully find themself drained of those feelings they were starting to feel - and, in the process, realize that there's a very simple solution to not needing to feel anything again.

What's that solution?

Why, LOVE, of course!

Frisk will then attempt to gather as much LOVE (aka Level Of Violence aka the capacity to not feel Anything) by killing demons and things. If they die in the process, too bad, so sad, they're perfectly all right with that because this child is lowkey wanting 2 die all the time.

SO YEAH IF YOU WANT IN ON THAT I HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY'LL GAIN LOVE OR NOT OR WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THERE. LET'S FIND OUT TOGETHER!!!

PLOTTING COMMENT DO NOT REPLY

[postictal]

stuff goes here

[jivitadana]

Minato is up for fighting things!

He's also capable of healing if anyone's hurt, so he can be on the lookout for anyone that needs help in that department. If someone needs a healer, then at least the network works and Minato can respond.

alphys, shepard, and wendy

[sciencelizard]

I literally cannot believe we are ACTUALLY GOING TO HELL, THIS IS AMAZING, anyway

Alphys is probably gonna spend the entire event holed up like... maybe literally in a hole!!! honestly she's going to spend the whole time wanting to die at top speed. i'm toying with the idea of killing her but it seems SO TYPICAL I probably won't.

Shepard is becoming increasingly convinced that every time Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum show up she's losing her GOD DAMN FIREARMS and will be super fucking pissed she's going to have to spend the weekend grappling by hand. That being said, if you need help? If you're in trouble? She's here, with her fists and incredibly limited biotics. Unfortunately, her tac cloak is technology, so she'll be even pissier about that. She's literally going to punch her way through Hell. Try and stop her, I fucking dare you.

Wendy is just going to stare at this like "are you KIDDING ME RN" as if the last event wasn't traumatic enough honestly. She's learned from her previous mistake though, and is likely gonna be staying close to camp and protecting the ones she cares about. Thankfully, she relies on good ol' axes and crossbows, so she'll still be pretty functional fighting-wise.

I have no real plotting and basically everyone will be screaming hit me UP

plotting

[sciencelizard]

don't comment here, it's for plotting additions

Chara

[fulllifeconsequences]

So guess who 1) already is pretty convinced they might be a demon 2) struggles with love and compassion?

* It's me, Chara.

I mean, they've been told before that they should be burning in hell, so hey, right where they belong! How fun.

The good news: they're pretty used to operating at the sort of capacity Literal Hell will introduce to them, so if you want someone who'll fend off demons for you despite being an empty compassionless wad of suffering, look them up. The bad: they're not gonna be feeling the friendliest or anything, so it'd be a good idea to make sure you don't tick them off or get in their way or look too much like you'd be easy EXP.

oh yeah a plotting comment

[fulllifeconsequences]

might help to have one of these i spose

Zelena, Jolyne, Ryoko

[wickedwest]

Zelena's got magic...but also definitely probably falling victim to the whole dark tendencies being exacerbated thing. Uh...sorry, she'll try not to ruin anyone's day. I am completely okay with her picking up another death or helping someone get one of theirs, but it's not a necessity! Also she'll probably be having some sort of magic team up with Regina since this is a good opportunity for that.

Jolyne's...not here for this. At all. It's hell. Some sort of literal hell. She'll probably be busy trying to figure out how to not die and end up in some sort of superhell. There's a log I want to do with her afterwards (I promise it's not her complaining about events even if this is literal hell), so I might be more inclined to just tag out with her rather than put something up. I'd rather she not die since that would probably lead to a log complaining about events again, but I'm game for anything else, so let me know if you want to do things.

And that leaves Ryoko who is also not here for any of this. And yet, here she is. OH WELL. So with Ryoko, I'd really like to play up the whole darker tendencies thing if anyone's interested in dealing with that. She died during the last event, and even though this one seems like a good time for her to bite it, I'd like to space those out a little more. However, one of the things I'd like to do with her is the fallout from someone dying because of her during an event, and this looks like a good time for that. So if you're interested in that, also let me know, so we can work something out!

[noreason]

I'm up for having Kaneki die for Ryoko, if you like! Make up for eating her that one time

Zacharie

[catinthemask]

So the guy who helped the protagonist of his world destroy it winds up in hell. Who's surprised? Anyway Zacharie will likely hole up somewhere safe because ahah, RPG merchant can't fight for beans. However his apathy and greed will cranked up so expect the prices of his items to skyrocket and his advice to generally suck.

He's going to be more easier to grab over the network but I'm open to tossing Zacharie at people!

plotting place

[catinthemask]

Hold off on replying here please!

[mourning_ghost]

Nageki's is sticking to the safe areas as much as possible, only venturing out when he really wants to be sure he'll be alone. I don't have any plans for him, but let me know if you'd like to randomly rescue someone.

Kay, on the other hand, will be going exploring before he discovers that his gun doesn't work. After he manages to escape, he'll try to find another weapon that is usable or someone who can handle the fighting for him.

[forwearemany]

So I'm thinking for Legion they're going to remain a mysteriously functional robot for this event, because Humanization just isn't as interesting as what I have in mind for them.

Speaking of which, their robotic nature, or at least, the less endearing aspects of it, is going to be a lot more prominent in Quor'toth. Coldness, apathy, inability to understand emotions... it's not so much that bad traits will be coming to the surface as they'll be losing good ones, like the compassion, love, and goodwill that so clearly underlies many of their choices and actions.

If you're interested in doing something with them, let me know. I have... basically no homework and few hours scheduled, so I should be present for most of the event.

[chardismastic]

Rafe is going to go looking for a sword because he's only got 28 bullets between his pistols and he's tired of these things just happening so. Yeah. He's gonna definitely leave the village and look for shit.

It also won't help that Rafe's darker tendencies will certainly make an appearance. He has some real anger issues and even worse control issues - his own fanatical attempts at self control will keep some of that at bay but he's definitely going to blow up at some point before reining himself in.

Up for protection runs, for murder runs, but fair warning that he's gonna be shitty about it.

yadda yadda plot plot

[chardismastic]

> starting off in the village
>>> conversations there are open

> heading off to look for a sword or another kind of weapon
>>> team up with Nate + blowup argument leading to a split up
>>> run with/protect/stab with Frisk

Alex | Nate & Evelyn

[nonscriptum]

Nate is well-equipped to deal with weird monsters that appear out of nowhere (as much as any regular human can be), and he'll be doing a lot of exploring. Any "dark" motivations will manifest themselves as an unwillingness to be communicative, a desire to pick fights, and suicidal recklessness turned up to 11. Kinda tempted to have him lose a life? There needs to be some serious violence, and preferably not by a creature. hmu

Evelyn will be present, unsurprised by Hell, definitely surprised by the Cthulhu-like entity because wow since when did we get Lovecraftian horrors?!?! She will arm herself with whatever she can, with the intention of staying close to others and helping to protect them. "Dark" tendencies will similarly be argumentativeness and extremely rash decision-making.

I have no specific plans for either of them right now, so let me know if you want something! c:

[assembles]

we're extremely overdue for a thread tbh!! something with steve and evie, if you please? c:

jack

[craterwave]

heyyyy so techs out? that means jacks bio-amp is on the fritz. which means she's a little less able to focus her biotics. couple that with the fact her guns wont be working? jacks gonna be a very unhappy camper.

anyway, shell look for any excuse to kill something to let off steam, so she's going to wander a bit and kill some demons with her limited biotics and her bare hands. shes already pretty much all bad side, but shell fall behind in what progress shes managed to make under shepards wing and have even less a grasp of morality. so shell be... even more unbearable? is it possible? we'll see what i can manage.

i want to make a post with her because i fell behind in establishing her due to hiatus, so if you want to interact with her as shes freaking out about her biotics being lessened/ripping wings off bat-things/not caring about others' wellbeing, be on the lookout for that!

Sans and Rick

[punful]

Sans is going to try and sleep through the entire event, so he'll probably need some help. His survival instincts are currently at about zero, and considering his darker tendencies involve not caring about shit, he'll be dipping down into the negatives.

Rick is fresh off a canon update and has been very subdued since then, but he's gonna consider this his time to shine. He is literally going to try and fight demons and will basically be an adult version of the little shitchild he was in Neverland, though probably with less destroying of people's limbs.

rin | faith, jane, bonnie, ray

[sponsored]

faith | hhahaMAAHUAHAHA oh fuck oh shit OKAY faith needs to die, definitely. she'll be picking fights left and right bc i'm gonna take a big ol liberty and say a second trip to quor'toth makes her succumb to the ugly side of her more quickly which equals bratty murder girl who wants to slay demons

jane | i desperately want to use this to reveal some aether hiccups -- i am a-ok w murder so if you'd like to die by idk turning into dark matter or sth hmu my dudes

bonnie | dark = control and righteous yelling at her friends because they're squishy and she should be taking care of them gdi -- if you'd like to interact w her it's probably best to come at it from 'i can help you kill this thing' or negative cr along the lines of 'you're being an idiot and going to get yourself killed!' and i am open to her dying or murdering someone

ray | will die like immediately probably. darkness for ray is p internalized in general but also hella righteous judgment you want verbal fights awesome ray probably has an opinion about you. you wanna deck an asshole great step right up let's stir the pot

links, changes, etc

[sponsored]

like all the cool kids do

crystal | for klaus

[poppycock]

Klaus will be not very happy about this new relocation to hell and I'm sure his extreme anger/paranoia issues will only exacerbate his unhappiness. Being trapped in a hell dimension might actually have him contemplating (yet again) where all his sins will lead to, when he eventually does die.

He will spend his time protecting those he loves and/or deems worthy of his protection. He will also be very violent/ruthless if provoked considering those darker tendencies being pulled out, particularly if he or people he cares for are threatened. I am willing to have Klaus hurt and/or kill and vice versa!

I have no solid plans so I am completely open for any notions or plots!

plans, changes, etc.

[poppycock]

+ klaus and bonnie fight demons shenanigans
+ klaus and steve FINALLY MEET
+ klaus protects fitz and probably jemma because of love-shaped feelings (or something)
+ klaus and arya :') team-up :')
+ klaus and rebekah FIGHT

steve rogers

[assembles]

Steve can definitely get by in a fight without the use of any technology due to his enhanced abilities, so he'll be wrestling with monsters as the situation calls for it! He's going to be feeling the effects of the hell dimension in terms of his temper getting more hair-trigger. He's got a lot of unresolved anger issues that he usually bottles up, so don't be surprised if he lashes out at your character. He'll be doing his absolute best to stay under control and I don't think he'd get as far as murdering anyone, but we'll see! He'll also just be acting very rashly and possibly making bad decision more so than usual, that is.

I'm up for anything, so hit me up!!

[poppycock]

but what if klaus (the worst™) and steve (the best™) meet each other at their actual worstest
