morphogenia

WHO: Kamala Khan
WHERE: path between Bunker exit and House 6
WHEN: during the battles so tentatively end of March
OPEN TO: Jessica Jones
WARNINGS: Violence, mentions of horror settings, the standard Jessica Jones warning!!!

In a lot of ways Kamala is still a kid who wants her dad to pay attention to her. Her dad figure right now just happens to be a woman who probably drinks too much. The teenager still isn’t sure if she’ll leave any day now to go back to her old shack. The threat that brought them to her, freezing alone, seems to have passed. (Really, who knows with this place?!) That is what makes Kamala for lack of a better word a little clingy. She does not need to show up to the bunker with a snack and a not-so-subtle series of questions about what meal would tempt her to come home for dinner. Kamala does it because she doesn’t know how much time they have left together.

She realizes more with every day how much she is going to miss sharing space with Jessica even with all her quirks. They are in some ways like a little family. Losing a piece of their unit is a scary thought. Kamala can’t be sure if it’s chatting about food nonstop or peer pressure that gets her to come home for dinner with her. They’re exiting the pod soon after and making the walk home to House Six when things get weird. Kamala has had some creepy stare downs. She once lived with a guy who could see her soul. It doesn’t get creepier than that. The guy making eyes at them is different… And weirdly familiar. Kamala stares back before it hits her. She points at him carelessly.

“Is that Hipster Viking?! He looks so old in regular lighting!” Long story as always.

WHO: Cissie King-Jones
WHERE: House 25, the Hospital, the Dojo, the Schoolhouse, anywhichwhere!
WHEN: Late March, anytime before 4/02
OPEN TO: ALL
WARNINGS: N/A yet; will update if needed

House 25 | OTA

Cissie and Tim have finally moved out of the Inn, claiming House 25 as their own. It's a cute little place, and she's pretty happy to start making it their own. She doesn't consider it giving up or anything like that; there's no way for them to know how long they'll be here, and as long as the Observers keep picking them up and dumping them in the wilderness, they may as well have a nice place to return to. It makes her feel better. And now it's Spring, which means she can spend time out in the yard, starting to clean up the yard and think about whether they'll be able to have a garden of some kind. If she's not digging in the dirt, she can be found inside the house, or on the porch with some tea and a book.

Hospital | OTA

She volunteered to help out, and Cissie is a girl of her word. Besides, she likes having something like a job, a schedule to follow. It also helps her to feel like she has a purpose here; it's something that was missing before, both in Wonderland and at home. Having the opportunity to learn more about medicine, and to help the few medical staff members in the village makes her feel better, even if all she really does is clean rooms and keep things stocked when she's not receiving lessons.

Dojo | OTA

Cissie knows that she's a young, pretty blonde teenager, and it's easy to be underestimated. A lot of times she relies on that. For her first few months here, she didn't even set foot in the dojo. But now that she's recovered from her adventures with Aqua in the forest, she doesn't want to get caught in another situation where she may have to run or fight for her (or someone else's) life--at least not without some solid practice under her belt. So she goes to the dojo now, at least daily, and does what she can. It may have been a few years since she wore a mask, but her mother started her training at age five. She knows multiple martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, she did gymnastics and ballet and tap, but more than anything... She misses her archery. She won't say no if someone wants to spar, either.

Wildcard! OTA

[Pick your poison! Feel free to encounter Cissie anywhere in the South Village; she spends a lot of time in the schoolhouse, takes daily jogs around but won't wander too far outside the village itself. Anywhere is fair game to run into her, though--literally or figuratively!]

sixthiteration

WHO: Take Two I participants
WHERE: Everywhere!
WHEN: February 26-March 4
OPEN TO: ONLY Take Two participants — Reactions to the disappearances should have their own posts.
WARNINGS: Please warn in your subject line as needed
NOTES: Plot Basics | Cheat Sheet & Other Details | Color Combos

Morning, February 26. A message blinks across the devices of many in the village, sender unknown. Meet with a specified someone else, it says, dubious but not overtly sinister. Is this belated Valentine's matchmaking? An Observer attempt at forcing friendships?

Or could this perhaps be something that takes just a wee bit more effort?

morphogenia

WHO: Kamala Khan
WHERE: House Six, Schoolhouse
WHEN: the days following her return from the village
OPEN TO: All, closed prompts for: Joe Miller
WARNINGS: Mentions of horror game mechanics, death, trauma.

House Six; closed to Miller

Things are tense. How can they not be after what she saw? Frank died. All kinds of awful stuff came out about what happened behind the scenes in Reims. While Kamala thinks it's for the better, no one can use this stuff against them ever again, it still hurts now. She needs a break from all the tension.

Once she's cleaned up, fed, done so many things to get the house and pets taken care of, and the loneliness of fighting with all the people you live with sets in: Kamala reaches out to someone she accidentally lost track of before this mess started. Lucky for her, Miller seems willing to pop by for a little bit. (How absolutely miserable she seems might be a factor.)

She'll be busy brewing coffee and heating up some leftovers to share when the telltale stomp of boots get close to the door. She shouts out in greeting, "Just come in. No one ever knocks." She tries not to think of how it freaks Frank out when he's here.

Schoolhouse | open

Being home reminds her that things still aren't okay. When she finishes her chores, Kamala finds herself here. She always loved to learn. Now really isn't the exception. She spends a lot of time in the village picking up new skills whenever possible. This isn't about her quest to become a better Kamala.

She's spending hours curled up in whatever spot looks good reading fantasy and how-to books like it's going out of style. This is what she does when things get bad: retreat to a story or think of what she'll do next. This schoolhouse gives her plenty of options on where to go to forget what she's seen. Even if you didn't know her, it'd be obvious she's avoiding something.

Kamala can be found reading or napping here when her eyes get tired for the next few days. Eventually everyone in House Six will cool off and find a new normal. Right now? Kamala at least is retreating to old coping skills to get through this rough patch.

WHERE: Simulation, door between the SV inn and police station
WHEN: Sunset Dec 31 through sunrise Jan 1
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Please warn in your subject line as needed and move all adult content to a new post
NOTES: GENERAL PARTY DETAILS: Here & Here | PLANNING POST: Here | NEWBIES: You may arrive at the party, details here.

As the sun dips toward the horizon, another day in the village put to bed, those walking past the tiny piece of woodland between the South Village inn and police station next door may notice something out of place: A door, golden and shimmering, seeming to hover in space and go nowhere. Indeed, a quick step to its other side reveals nothing at all but more forest. Dare to grasp the knob and swing it open, however—

A party, wild and opulent and grand, set in the front halls and gardens of a sprawling Victorian mansion, all cream and black and glittering gold. Tables groaning with festive food and drink, a lively band, and enthusiastic occupants seemingly unaware of the strangeness through which our intrepid villagers have arrived.

Step through, and you shall be transformed: Vigorously healthy, impeccably coiffed, a glittering star in your own right. To exit the way you came will see all of this gone again, and do take care: While news travels fast in the village, if you don't indulge soon, you may miss this extravagant respite — The music, the frivolity, the fireworks at midnight... Or all of it altogether, for it will fade away with the dawn.

morphogenia

WHO: Kamala Khan
WHERE: House 6
WHEN: Dec. 13th; late afternoon aka KAMALA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
OPEN TO: residents of house six, assorted cr of Kamala and the other house six residents - basically everyone who knows Kamala, Frank, and Jessica and is on good terms with them. It's basically everyone.
WARNINGS: Possible mentions of horror settings or past trauma since Kamala does live with Frank Castle and Jessica Jones who are their own warning. Honestly this is a rated G birthday log.

She wakes up super stoked to be alive. It's not unusual for her honestly. Kamala is more excited than usual if only because it's not every day you get superheroes coming over for your birthday. Granted she's seeing them more as ordinary people who do incredible things sometimes. That's a positive change as far as she's concerned. It doesn't change the fact that Kamala from like age seven and up would have seen this as a dream come true. Who is she to question the wisdom of tiny Kamala?

She spends a decent portion of the day (following breakfast) getting ready for guests. She styles her new, shorter hair cut as elegantly as she can, dresses in the hunter green dress and pants outfit given to her by the Observers because screw them it's pretty and they can't ruin it with what they pulled after.

By the time she finishes, it's time to greet guests and see what Frank's done with the rest of the house while she's been hiding out in her room to obsess over her appearance. She'll go around greeting whoever shows up, shoving food at them, and generally be grateful they came. It's her seventeenth birthday. She's away from her home, childhood friends, and family. Having anyone here today means a lot more than she lets on. It's about the only thing allowing her to feel happiness instead dwelling on what she's missing.

(ooc; ~~top levels will be posted by Frank in like five minutes for setting info. please hold for those!~~ feel free to tag those or make your own starter ~~once they're posted~~. I'm flexible.)

underachievement

WHO: Jessica Jones
WHERE: House 6, House 60, and the road to and from
WHEN: December
OPEN TO: House residents, neighbors and passersby, OTA for starter requests
WARNINGS: Alcoholism, character death mention.

clouded_heart

WHO: Foggy Nelson
WHERE: Arrival Fountain/About the place
WHEN: December 9th ish
OPEN TO: Anyone
WARNINGS: Will be updated if appropriate

Foggy's arrival is a spluttering gasp as he surfaces from the water. He kicks through the water, already aware of the cold pinching his wet skin. It gets worse as he reaches the stone lip of the fountain and pulls himself out; the chill cuts straight through him to his bones and sets his teeth chattering almost immediately.

Some kind soul seems to have left blankets and towels, so he grabs one and wraps it around himself, over his head and around his body to try and stave off the worst of the wind. Then he looks back to the fountain, half expecting to see someone else struggling their way out like he just has.

oorah

WHO: Franky C
WHERE: House 6
WHEN: November 29, evening.
OPEN TO: Kamala Khan, Billy Kaplan
WARNINGS: Could be mentions of past horror/trauma, otherwise super G.

After the mention of Hannukah it doesn't take long at all for Frank to start getting to work. As far as he knows, Billy is the only one here practicing their Jewish faith, but it's still important to him. From an outside perspective, it might not make much sense why as Frank himself hasn't been religious in practically forever, but this is his wheelhouse. Making an unfavorable place seem warm and welcoming even at the worst of times. It's easy to slip back into his role as mayor when asked to help with such simple tasks, though he doesn't necessarily notice the shift himself, Kamala is sure to see the change in him.

When Billy gets there, he'll be in the front yard, all three dogs roaming around and the door to the house cracked open. He has a small block already cut out in a vague shape that they can further refine into a menorah laying out on a stump alongside a strip of bark to use as sandpaper, hammer and chisel propped up against it. Kamala has the candle operation going inside, rolling them and placing their wicks before bringing the wax outside to cool into a shape. He figures they can brainstorm food while they work on this, it always helps Frank to show someone a new skill in a place like this so he seems in good spirits as the boy approaches.

Sure enough, there's a big wooden "6" hanging up on the side of the house, while none of the others are numbered. There's a zalpaca and a groffle in a pen out back that can be seen from the road, and before Billy can get too close he'll be greeted by an overeager croc-dog, a shy pitbull and a curious bloodhound.

"You made it," he calls, though as he'd said they are virtually impossible to miss.

morphogenia

WHO: Kamala Khan
WHERE: House 6
WHEN: Nov. 15, Frank's birthday
OPEN TO: Frank Castle
WARNINGS: Vague references to horror settings!! Otherwise super G.

She looked him up when they got back. It was silly in hindsight. She didn't really have any business poking into his personal life like that. Kamala missed her friend. It's super easy to put a name in a search engine and find out all kinds of things. One thing that stuck out was a date. Thanks to Peter, she knows the watch will give her some idea of the time that's passed. It occurs to her in the craziness that this is the week of Frank's birthday. She really needs to do something even if it can't be a party.

A couple days before his birthday she takes some zoom seeds to make everything she needs. It works like a charm. She's fast enough to make flour for a cake, to carve a piece of wood down until it's a little gift, and get the rest of the prep work for baking done on short notice. What sucks is puking her guts out at the Inn afterward. She cleans it up along with the rest of the bathroom for good measure. She realizes she can't go home like this. She already used a fair amount of preserved peaches for the cake so using those to heal up isn't an option.

All that's left is to head down to the Bunker and see if that vending machine will give her back what's been stolen from her. (Until she remembers the hot springs were also an option.) The broken blood vessels healing up are all the confirmation she needs that her healing power is back for however long. All she needs is for it to work until Frank's birthday so she can stay healthy unlike some of the others.

Miracle of all miracles it does. The morning of his birthday comes. She excuses herself from breakfast to grab something at the Inn with the promise he will save all the coffee for her. Upon return she does the cheesiest thing Kamala can think of: sing happy birthday all the way to the table. Kamala set down the cake she'd hidden there yesterday on the table with a huge smile. "Okay so I don't have candles, but we can still eat! Happy birthday, Frank!" She uncovers it with a grand sweeping gesture. It's all his!! She hopes he likes it.

alittlelonger

WHO: Rinoa Heartilly
WHERE: Bunker, Hot Springs, outside House 16
WHEN: November 2nd and then the few days after
OPEN TO: Bunker for Squall, OTA to the others!
WARNINGS: TBD

Bunker, closed to Squall Leonhart

She comes to very slowly. Rinoa might have gone in and out of consciousness for longer than she knew, or that's how it felt. This wasn't the first time she was so groggy and confused that time had no real meaning. Dark eyes slowly opened and then closed, unable to focus too much on what's in front of her. Where was she? Her hand reached out and hit something solid, and it stung, leading her to whimper and pull it back. No, this was all wrong, this couldn't happen to her again. No more tubes, no more containments, no more sorceresses.

Rinoa started to flail, confused and stuck, when abruptly it seemed to open, letting her tumble out and into the room. This all felt like serious deja vu, because she was only falling for what seemed like a very long second before she collapsed into waiting arms. This time, though, she couldn't stand back up, but merely crumbled to the ground, clinging to the familiar body. "Squall?" she whispered.

The Hot Spring, later

Rinoa was curious to get to know this village, but she stayed overall within the boundaries of what was recommended. Still unsettled and thrown off by the experience, she needed a little space to unwrap her brain and breathe easy. She hadn't heard about the hot spring or what they were capable of, all she knew was they looked peaceful and nice and she decided to sit own next to them. She took off her shoes and set them aside, letting her feet dangle in. She reached down to take some of the water and rubbed her face with it.

She was unfortunately not someone who was very aware of her surroundings, so anyone could easily walk up to her or sneak up on her, and she'd never know.

Outside of House 16

The one thing she absolutely was all for about this place was an actual house! Rinoa lived with the SeeD and she tried not to complain about being constantly interrupted or a living quarter that was nothing like what she grew up in. She loved her friends and the others, but there was just something about having an actual room. Multiple rooms! And a kitchen. It made her miss home and her father so intensely she never expected it, but at the same time, it was comfortable.

She replaced her gray scrubs very quickly with shades of blue, as it was her most comfortable shade. At the moment she was cheerfully sweeping out the indoor of the house. No one had lived in it any time recently, from what she could tell, and Squall certainly wasn't going to think of that. She was going to need to clean and maybe set up some nicer living areas for them. She was in good spirits though, dark eyes bright, smiling up at the sun.
