Event Post: Silent Hill

[hadrielmods]

THE RUNDOWN

Delight's poll has closed, and Sorrow is the winner, a decision that we're sure no one will regret! But before the gods quite have a chance to get anything rolling this month - resurrection or a run-of-the-mill event - they have it taken out of their hands.

Sharon Da Silva (unitas) has had her fill of god nonsense, and on June 15th she will be handling her anger and fear in a healthy and constructive way. Yes, bits and pieces of Silent Hill will be affecting the city of Hadriel, summoned via her connection and powers. The gods, not expecting this at all, are going to need a bit of time before they can figure out how to fix it, so until then, well - we hope you like fog.

The city will be shrouded in it most of the time, the light above dim and somber. There may be one or two monsters in the fog, but generally it's pretty safe. Just creepy and kind of depressing, that's all! But stay alert. Intermittently, you'll hear the sound of an air raid siren - and that's when you want to maybe think about running. The city will temporarily change to a darker version of itself, staying that way for anything from a few minutes to a few hours before changing back again. You might see sigils on the walls of buildings, blood and bodies, rust and scorch marks, a twisted reflection of the usual Hadriel. And, of course, monsters.

THE DETAILS

When Hadriel changes, the barriers Hope uses to keep the monsters in the caves simply stop working. Anything from the bestiary can be found roaming the city, free to cause damage and stalk their prey and make life worse. As if that and the new Satanic aesthetic weren't enough, there's also the chance that you could have your own personal monster stalking the streets looking for you. These creature will be disturbing reflections of your subconscious - fears, regrets, and desires given twisted, uncomfortable form. This part of the event is opt-in, you don't have to have your own special monster if you don't want to!

When the sirens go off and the city changes, the only safe places in Hadriel are the god temples. No monsters can pass through the doors, although that does mean you'll be affected by the emotion of whichever temple you might choose to hide in. Still, you'll be safe. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict when the sirens will go off, and the temples have no food or other conveniences inside them. If you want to camp out there for the whole event, you can, but it's not gonna be easy, and hopefully you'll have some braver friends willing to go out and get you food, you weenie.

If you would like to try to talk Sharon down or stop the Silent Hillification of Hadriel some other way, feel free to plot with Lunare! But if no one else manages, the gods will finally figure out how to shut that shit down on June 20th. The fog will lift, the monsters will be safely locked away again, and the gods will be left with one hell of a headache.

THE OVERVIEW

► June 15th: The city gets foggy and weird. What is weather?
► June 15th-20th: Fog, intermittent cave monsters, freaky too-personal monsters, good times for all!
► June 20th: Everything goes back to normal and you can all leave those shitty temples

SHARON DA SILVA will have Pyramid Head as her personal monster/guardian. He will, obviously, be the film incarnation of him. He will never be found too far from Sharon, ready to answer her call for violence or protection.

HE IS AVAILABLE FOR OTHER CHARACTERS TO COME ACROSS, FIGHT, OR BE ATTACKED BY, without needing any input on my end (good (cw: gorey af) references). He will be especially aggressive towards those who have been in, and out of the Temples, focusing on them when there are multiple characters. He is both vicious, and unkillable; should he be critically injured, he will retreat, and shrug off any further attempt of attack.

Sharon will be making a post some time after Hope has informed characters of the safety of the temples. It will likely be a short, to the point post telling people to avoid the temples, and, instead, seek safety in the buildings when the darkness comes. She will assure people that this is for the best. She will also be available to come across in most game locations in the log, as well.

If you'd like to have your character try to talk Sharon out of things, kill her, bitch, what the hell ever, give me a shout. I'm open to any plotting ideas you have in mind!

ASHLEY's monster is based upon this concept by Michael Dickerson. She works similar to that of a witch from the series Left 4 Dead in that she sobs as she moves, but any curious individual will be immediately attacked. If she catches you, she pulls you into an embrace with all of her hands, and chews her way to the heart, devouring it.

The best way to kill her is to sever all her arms, essentially killing the parasitic red blob nestled in her throat, head, and chest.

For most of the event, Ashley will likely reside in Delight's temple with her housemates, pretty much refusing to go outside after the first siren sounds and changes the environment.

You can all hit me here, or at lunareism!

i don't know how but i would love to have mello and sharon bicker some more during this event, especially considering how dismissive he's been of ~scary monsters~ with her!

[unitas]

I'm sure her post will give him plenty to bicker with her about (gosh these two are such children), but, if not, I bet we could figure something! She'll be just about everywhere save the temples, so running into a monster and him mocking it will likely get her bitching at him!

[torrefied]

i know right, such awful children 8|

awesome, i will plan to have him hit her post at the very least!!

[glacius]

Since no one else has offered here yet, IIIII would love to have Glacius attempt to talk Sharon out of it. I haven't seen Revelation so I'm a little bit spotty about her backstory, but he's a creature that has been through a lot of pain, anguish, and judgment on behalf of humans, so he would be able to empathize with her if that is part of the reason why she's doing all of this and try to at least start steering her towards a different path. If you think that would work, or if there's a different path you think would work better (that's still IC for him of course), great! If not they can in the very least have a clash of ideals.

[unitas]

I would love for Glacius to attempt that. I can't say for sure how well it will go down, as not only is she remarkably stubborn, but she really does believe she's doing this for the better good, even if it doesn't look that way. She'll certainly listen to what he has to say, even if she ends up not agreeing!

[glacius]

Great! Yeah, I'm totally fine with seeing how it goes, though I can see her stance causing him to be very ??? about it all haha. So how do you want to do this? Will make it known that she is responsible for this when she posts to the network, or will he have to figure that out some other way?

Chris would just like to ask Sharon, on behalf of all the residents of Hadriel: what the fuck. 8|

Also we should totally do something with Ashley and Chris and her monster. 8D
