voidtreckerooc | Event: Tickets Please

On Day 25 passengers are woken to be informed that they have been borded by ticket inspectors. Cabin doors are locked and so passengers are trapped in their rooms. If a character can walk through walls/teleport etc that power is still active, however if they are wearing their SCA it will begin blinking orange the moment they do so. If they still wish to continue out of their rooms please let me know!

The event has gone up slightly early to give characters time for initial reactions. NPC threads will start tomorrow.

Trapped!

Feel free to react and interact with your roommates in individual or joint threads to the feeling of dread and being trapped before their cabin door opens and the inspector enters. Just post under your room number to start! The event log is here!

Ticket Inspection.

Inspectors will be travelling down the carriages starting at 1:A but all threads will be written at the same time.

Inspectors will start a new top level underneath the Room top level. When the inspector tags the room thread each member of the room can reply in any order but please keep it in one thread! Once everyone has replied or enough time has passed the inspector will tag again. Please only tag once per 'round' to keep things simple. Tagging order between roommates does not need to be the same each round, just tag when you are able! Don't worry if you miss a round, just jump in the next one.

As an example:

Inspector Initial start> Character A> Character B> Character C> Character D> Inspector> Character D> Character B> Character A> Character C> Inspector> Character B> Character D> Character C> Character A etc

Onward

Characters will be trapped in their rooms for the majority of Day 25, there is an aftermath thread on the event post for when the inspectors leave and characters are released.

For some that is the end of the ordeal, the feeling of dread fades, they can no longer hear the creepy music unless they are in the spaces between the carriages. Life goes back to normal.

For others however the feeling lingers, they find themselves on edge, jumping at the slightest sound. A heightened sense of anticipation. The music can be heard in moments of quiet and sometimes if they pass a window they may swear that out of the corner of their eye they can see figures staring in at them from the void. If they spin around, look out of the window, there is nothing. Just the shifting colours.

This feeling might be constant, it might come and go. It is up to you as a writer but effects will be in place to play with until the turn of the month. Distractions might be in order...

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Raven is one of those who can phase, and is also an Empath. This event is not going to be fun for her, and after about 2-3 hours, she will likely flee for one of the Quiet Cabins for space and meditation. The beeping of her SCA might stop her for about 15 minutes or so while she tries to figure it out, but it won't stop her from fleeing. She's also likely to take the SCA off, b/c of the beeping.

What happens? :D

If she takes the SCA off the screen will go blank and it will stop beeping. As she is on the train taking it off won't have any averse effects.

Even though she will be away from everyone else's fear once she leaves the sleeper cabins the feeling of dread within herself will grow- just like before it can be rationalised. But it's the sort of feeling you get when you are already freaked out and then go into the cellar alone...

If she is teleportation to the quiet coach she will probably get about half an hour to an hour of peace before the inspectors come looking for her. If she is phasing into the corridor and then walking she will probably get intercepted on the way.

Either way their first move will be to order her back...

If escaping to the quiet coach is what Raven is doing go ahead and post a top level to the event post itself with what she is doing and I will throw an NPC at you when I do the rounds (once I wake up it is definitely bed time over here!)

So the inspectors wouldn't get to Cabin 2-E in about 2-3 hours then huh? Put the quiet cabins up on the log-post itself, as well as a comment on 2-E's thread.

Btw, her powers HAVE gone haywire before with her fear, and it was pretty terrifying/epic. Feel free to poke me if you want for ideas and/or things to help ~~torture the others~~

Will the smoking car be a haven? Thinking its time for a flare to have Jessie's secret blown open.

If someone fell asleep in a different room do they wake in their assigned room like usual or where they’d gone to sleep?

Anyone want to find Jessie deep in a claustrophobia flare?

Sure! Jessie and Curufin are roomies in 2:A. He'll find her, if you wish.

Given that elves can influence the mood and emotions of others with their music, how possible is that Fëanor (or other elves) will be able to counter the feeling of dread with a song if he tries? And he will definitely try.

Question 2: they can't leave but is anything interfering with the telepathic connection Fëanor and his sons have? He'd like to speak with them without risking that whatever is out there would overhear.

In their assigned room as usual. The ICP is working so characters are not limited to only interacting with their roommates.

I am a little confused by the question but here's me answering what I think you are asking.

Jessie will wake up in her bedroom (no matter where she went to sleep). If she has ways to get through locked doors she can leave but her SCA will beep and flash orange.

Once the inspectors are gone she can leave the cabin and then could go to the luggage carriage (until then she may bug her roommates by nervously smoking in the room?)

Yes there is about an hour before they start going into rooms. Assuming about 10 minutes per carriage to give chance for shenanigans 2:E is last so we are ticking close to the three hour mark there.

Well that sounds interesting! Are you meaning projecting fear or images etc? We could definitely do an additional thing that people could opt into.

Whilst the inspectors are on board they will be able to try and counter the song for those in their own carriage. It will be hard work as the feeling is quite strong but definitely do-able (I'd leave it up to each individual player how well the song works so ask your roommates!)

Nothing is interfering with the telepathic connection. He'd be able to speak to his family. The choral singing probably floats in and out the connection though, like static on a line.

Thank you :)

:D Oh good, then my timing-estimate was correct. :D

It'd depend on how things go. ^^ How things went in the episode was the Titan's watched a horror movie, and Raven denied that she was scared of it. So later that night, they're all woken up by alarms going crazy. Then the titans start vanishing 1 by 1, along with some other spooky stuff. Later, once Raven admits that she IS afraid, but she can also fight back. Admitting to herself she's afraid allows her to control her powers once more, and everything is revealed. Link to the episode on the wikia

She's past that point, from when I pulled her from. Her crisis she's dealing with is that her status as the 'gem' has been revealed to her friends. That is, the gem-by-which her father, Trigon--a super big bad demon, will invade Earth. Raven doesn't want anything to do with his plans, but been led to believe it's inevitable. ^^

I'm open to suggestions and hints--as Raven herself wants to do good, and BE a good guy and good person. Bu depending on how things go, her powers can make things fun.

It depends then on how scared Raven gets, if she continues seeing things after the inspectors leave she could definitely start accidentally creating monsters. But it's up to you and how Raven will react/if she will admit being scared and work through it or bottle it all up as she's in a different environment.

If you do want to add Raven-created monsters in the aftermath/rest of October that's fine! She wouldn't be able to make people disappear (though she could randomly move them around the train). Just let me know and I will let people know.

All for it! She has a post inspection thread in the log as well.

So... What happens if a certain spider-kid has been using his ticket as a bookmark and accidentally left it in Tony's lab?

Peter...

He needs it to get in the room (though he could have tailgated Gwen or just been teleported) so it is possible he's left it.

The answer is Trouble (with a capital T), let's hope he remembers where he put it!

Tagged you in the post-inspection log!
