[ first game ∞ night ∞ event start ]
[ There are no names and no tracking mechanisms attached to this broadcast on the network. There is no warning as every PORTAL in the city turns on, TENEKA buzzing. It is as if some invisible hand reached out, fiddled with the controls and demanded the attention of the residents.
The first shot is that of the King and Queen. Valrune’s head is down on her vanity, while Tivorno seems to have fallen asleep while writing some sort of document. From the royal couple, the screen changes to their sons, sprawled out on their backs in the middle of a long hallway. A guard is there, too, slumped over, and when a passing maid nears them, she gasps and hurries off. Where she goes is unclear, because the scene changes again to a room inside the Unnatural, where Uremovic has her head on a panel full of buttons and flashing lights. With her are other scientists, all of them sprawled in odd positions, none of them responsive. The screen changes again to a room with a wooden door, and it is Genero who is on the ground this time, glasses askew and his hair stirring as if he’s being stroked. ]
Heda was telling me things.
[ The voice, as ever, is childlike, but there is a hint of malice to it. ]
People don’t like him. People don’t like the royalty or the scientists or the guards, either. So we decided -- maybe there should be a friendly reminder.
[ The stirring of Genero’s hair stops, and the screen changes again, this time to an outside view of the city. Around the palace, vines are growing up, lashing the gates together. The moon seems to be changing colors from silver to red, its half-presence in the sky still large enough to shine light on the city. There is a groan as the plants in the garden grow, tree branches twisting, and one by one, eyes begin to open in the leaves. ]
They’re going to sleep for a while.
[ There is something moving across the ground, hidden in the shadows. Whatever it is, it’s big, predatory, hunting. ]
You can all do without them for a while like you want, right?
[ There’s a slight giggle as lightning flashes in the sky, and something lunges in the shadows before the feed goes dead. ]
((ooc: Comments are open, but he likely won’t be replying to all of them, and he may not reply to any of them verbally. If your character upsets him, however, he can and will behave in a matter that is, quite frankly, godmoding, ranging from giving them a terrible migraine to setting their kitchen on fire to sending extra monsters after them. As of this post, the Friendly Reminder event is occurring, so if you believe your character would reply in an antagonistic way but don’t want him messing with them, it’s perfectly reasonable to handwave that they are already dealing with the monsters.))
