Blackout, blackout!

[kore_npc]

Who: The residents of Cape Kore
Where: The center of town, near the ruined fountain
When: Day 100
What: Stane gathered some supplies for a community fire. Consider this a party-style post reacting to the lack of power and the loss of the communicators.

After the power goes out, Stane spends a few minutes standing stock still in the room, holding his breath and waiting for it to come back, but he doesn't waste too much time lingering in that kind of hopefulness. People are going to need things; they're going to need fire to cook and boil water, and they're going to need to do something about the food that's going to spoil.

It's so important that he helps them. It's so important that he helps them stay alive. Maybe the dream sharing is getting to him, maybe it's made his nightmares... feel real, but...

They're going to survive this. He's determined.

He gathers some wood that can be used for firewood and kindling, and he leaves them in the center of the town; he has no way of announcing that the things are there, really, but he cups his hands around his mouth and shouts a general Go to the fountain! Maybe someone will hear him.

[The flickering light catches Mystique's eye, though not knowing what it is, she skulks around in the shadows for a bit and observes those at the fire for nearly an hour before slipping out of the shadows to join them. She's in her assumed disguise of a young woman of possible Hispanic heritage, her main goal is to get some food.]

hey, let's commence even MORE confusion

[ Much of this seems like a waste to Erik, but he'd rather look after his own than attempt to instruct the group at large. Raven isn't, as far as he knows - yet - one of them, but the fact that she's got the same name as Charles' sister, brimming with potential like a tiger's leashed energy--he's intrigued, if only sentimentally. Sentiment still creeps in sometimes, as much effort as he's made to kill it. ]

Raven, wasn't it?

[ He knows damn well that it was. ]

yessssss

[She turns, quickly sizing him up. Although, she keeps her body relaxed, it's obvious by her eyes that she's ready to deal with him if he's a threat and her suspicion doesn't let up when he knows her name and she's at a loss.]

That's me.

I know I haven't seen your face around here yet. Pleased to meet you... [She trails off expectantly, waiting for him to fill in the blank with his name.]
