Blackout, blackout!

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.

[ Meg is one very unhappy little demo right now. Seriously. When did this streak of bad luck hit? Then again she lives with a Winchester, bad luck is probably inevitable.

Firstly she was tortured, yes tortured by the crazy hunter chick - which her throat still hasn't fully healed from - thanks for that Ellen. The wannabe actress from Sheboygan sends her thanks too.

But now? Now the power has to go and die right in the middle of her shower. Fantastic. Could this day get much worse? Actually, wait. Forget she said that. Things could be much worse.

On hearing Stane's yelling she makes her way to the fountain, hair still dripping and thoroughly miserable. ]


So who forgot to feed the meter?

[She doesn't complain about the primitive technology here. She doesn't. It's petty and beside the point and solves nothing. Still, to lose much of what they already had? That's just unfair.

Arms crossed over her chest, Shiala huddles up to the fire, looking cross.]

[Angels have good hearing. It doesn't take Balthazar long to answer the call. He knows who Stane is, but they haven't spoken yet, so when he lands near the fountain (with an obvious fluttering sound), he waits a moment before approaching. Once he does, he speaks calmly:]

Was there an accident we know of, or is this out of the blue completely?
blackmagus: (♒ tired)

[Once the whole thing goes, there's only so much to check. Fortescue tries. She knows a little about electrical systems, though mostly it's how to sabotage them. The less-sophisticated-than-back-home wiring of the house is fairly easy to figure out, but the power outage? Complete mystery. The house's wiring doesn't seem damaged and there's no smoke that she can smell.

She tries not to let it get to her, insulating the fish with as much ice is left. That's her hard work in there. After that, finally, she hears the sound of yelling and voices. By then, there's a fire. She heads out in that direction to see what's going on, sitting down near it to get warmed up. Fiddling with what she could of the outside of the house, without a jacket, wasn't a wise decision. Mornings are chilly, after all. Jazz sits close by, green eyes watchful, as she tries to absorb everything she hears around her.]

Or possibly it's deliberate? [He sighs.] Who got a microwave? I've been shorted in the appliance department.

[That's a joke, but even if it weren't, it's hardly important right now.] Why don't I gather some tinder in a can and make a fire? Anyone who hasn't heard you might come to the light.

[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.]

[Mystique had only just arrived at the little bonfire when she spotted the green skinned alien she'd spoken to the other day. Of course, she couldn't resist moving around the fire to stand next to Shiala.]

Hello, darling.

Is this a usual thing? Do you all make s'mores too?
purplishgreen: (yes)

[personal profile] purplishgreen 2013-08-10 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Shiala turns, and she smiles warmly.]

Raven. You are as charming in person, I see.

This hasn't happened before, at least to my knowledge. I hope this is only temporary. What are s'mores?

[The Doctor is standing still at the fire, letting it warm him, although his core temperature was lower than a human's naturally. Spotting Fortescue, his features soften and he steps over to her.]

Hello, there.

[He wasn't entirely chipper, and a bit curious to see how people reacted to his presence. Undoubtedly, they haven't forgotten what he had done just but a month ago now, but no one seemed interested in attacking him yet. Signs of progress, perhaps?]
any1youwant: (disguise)

[personal profile] any1youwant 2013-08-10 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you have no idea. [Raven purred, shooting her an odd, mysterious smirk, not explaining her meaning in the least bit.]

S'mores are... they're a food with cookies, chocolate and marshmallows that kids make at campfires. Part of it's cooked on the open fire.

If Balthazar hadn't dragged him indoors, Rat wouldn't have even noticed the power shortage. He is, in so many ways, used to doing without. While he may or may not have heard the call, the sight of a communal fire draws him out of sheer habit. Usually they're in trash cans and the people around them are more like himself, but it's the spirit of the thing. He's got his guitar, and all this just looks almost festive to him.

Rat sits on the edge of the fountain and tunes up, idly strumming the strings and people watching.

[Gabriel, on the other hand, isn't so much annoyed as amused. Power outages might be a serious worry for humans and even demons, but to an archangel it's barely even an inconvenience. He's mostly here to watch and snicker at everyone who is affected, and only about 2% of his motive is figuring out if his help is needed.

But then, seeing Meg is a little different. On the one hand, she's corrupting his baby brother (which is a point in her favour) and he feels kinda bad about just standing by and chatting to Ellen instead of actually helping her. On the other, she's corrupting his baby brother (which is a point against her) and she's evil. And she looks amusingly pissed off, which is the deciding factor: why apologise or be concerned when he could just poke fun?]


Whoever it was, kudos to them. This is just what the community needed - a chance to sit around the campfire singing kumbayas and toasting marshmallows.
purplishgreen: (expectant)

[personal profile] purplishgreen 2013-08-10 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweet and sticky, I assume. It sounds delicious. I wish I could trust we had the ingredients.

[Because she would like to try it.]
blackmagus: (♒ oh really?)

[personal profile] blackmagus 2013-08-10 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fortescue glances over at the greeting, distracted from any discussions of the blackout, and smiles.]

Hello, Doctor. How are you?
blackmagus: (♒ haha no really)

[personal profile] blackmagus 2013-08-10 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Not particularly surprised to see Rat here with his guitar — he fits right in, certainly — Fortescue gets up to sit next to him, once her need for information has been satiated as much as it can be. There's only so much to learn, at the moment. She's smiling as she settles down.

"Good to see you out and about."
foundacause: ([MEG] ❖ you don't say...)

[ One of these days Meg and Gabriel are going to end up murdering each other or screwing each other - it could go either way. It could even both - hopefully the screwing comes before the death for obvious reasons.

She rolls her eyes. Yep. The day just got worse. ]


Do we get rewards for not throwing the humans on the fire?
bluesrat: (cautious)

[personal profile] bluesrat 2013-08-10 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He looks up with a weak smile, but he's looked better. After more than a week of radio silence, Rat looks like he's recovering from illness or injury. "Hey. Ah... sorry about that. Not to sound..." He gestures vaguely in the air with one hand, then gives up looking for the right word. "When did you see me last?"
hung_garian: (Who died and made you queen?)

[personal profile] hung_garian 2013-08-10 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
If we do I hope it's nothing good - I've already ruined my chances of getting one, and I hate missing out.

[He winks, though judging by the fact that no one's screaming or trying to kill him, he hasn't murdered anyone. At least not in public.]

Nice hair, by the way. I wasn't sure if you could top the matted, bloody look you had before, but drowned rat is definitely a contender for style of the year.
blackmagus: (♒ smile)

[personal profile] blackmagus 2013-08-10 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"We spoke after the incident with the dreams, I believe," she comments, after a moment's thought. Time gets away from you when you don't have a reliable means of keeping track of it. Fortescue shakes her head slightly. "You don't need to apologize."
bluesrat: (whut?)

[personal profile] bluesrat 2013-08-11 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"I remember that, just not sure how long ago it was." He rubs his face, and stares at the bonfire without really seeing it."Balthazar thinks I was... abducted."

[ Donna doesn't know if to be relieved she's not the only one without power or terrified. She can't shake the ominous feeling looming over her and it's not just because she can't make cups of tea for everyone unless she boils water over a fire.

Don't suppose there's a magic stock of torches lying about somewhere? [ She frowns. ] Or a back-up generator for the fridges and freezers? I mean they'll keep cold awhile as long as people don't keep opening the doors. But I can't see an electrician popping by any time soon.
foundacause: ([MEG] ❖ oh really?)

[personal profile] foundacause 2013-08-11 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ When it comes to Gabriel you can either give in to his goading and give him what he likely wants which at the end of the day is frustrating and tiring. Or, you can go along with him and give as good as you get. ]

Fashion. It's the gift that keeps on giving. What kind of monster would I be if I didn't share my beautiful looks with the world? You're still sporting the ageing boy band wannabe look, I see.
