EARTH 24*(&A$%7HGKPOI

WHO: All transdimensional imPorts.
WHERE: The town of Capers.
WHEN: October 24th, noon, to October 29th, noon.
WARNINGS: Probably violence, but alert me if something else evolves and I can update this.
SUMMARY: Lachesis pulls a group of Cityverse imPorts into another world adventure -- here be the wilds of the west, and dinosaurs!
FORMAT: As you please!



You arrive at the town of Capers from one split second to the next -- from the asphalt and concrete of the City to the dusty and earthen dirt of this wildwood space. The sun is hot and the sky is streaked with thin clouds. The landscape of the town is sparse, utilitarian; you'll find saloons and dance halls, quarries and fenced corrals, the local gaol and the hanging scaffold, the shops and medical facilities (barbershop included). In fact, the logwood architecture of the buildings direct into those four major categories, and the structure of the town forms something circular, much like a compass. You might have been ported in at any of these places, as Lachesis would have delivered you at random.

The sun in the sky burns a golden yellow, peering down at you like some celestial eyeball. Almost feels like it's watching you.

You're wearing your clothes and you've got your communicator on you, but that's about it. You can still contact the Network, but you cannot leave this world. And since you look like such an outsider, it takes only a few moments for you to be ushered by local Samaritans to the Capers Town Hall. There, in his white suit and black belt, stands Mayor Eisner -- and he greets you warmly. He tells you that Capers is used to extradimensional pioneers, and he's happy to invite you into his town. But for a town like his to survive at this unilateral crossroads, certain customs must be observed -- you understand, there's a method of expectation that enables order. You might catch glimpses of other imPorts filing in, being escorted by the kindly souls they came across. Mayor Eisner asks you your name and your favorite color. He asks you if you're a spiritual individual, or more secular. He asks you about the first animal that comes into your mind.

Then he ponders your face for a moment.

Then, with a strong and genuine pat on your shoulder, he tells you who you are, in his town of Capers.

You are free to reject or accept the role, but that all comes with respective consequences.

Welcome to Capers, hero.

Gently and carefully. If they're here, they're here for a reason, and I doubt it's for our good. We don't have enough information, something much more consistent than I like!

( She frowns, one step away from pouting.

... it's been a long like. Maybe two months. Okay you know what she's got her dependencies too Gilbert why are their lives terrible by their own choices )
invoking: commission. (apprehensive.)

They've probably followed after us or this is a world they've taken interest in. Lachesis doesn't want us to protect just the City, I think; she wants us to protect all the other worlds.

[ Why else would she repeatedly send them off? This time they had a bit of a warning.

A bit. ]


Have you kept Eques in the Mayor's shadow?
auntyquated: (observe; coincidence makes sense)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-03 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
He's been remarkably little use.

( Which means yes, though she doesn't follow with who else she's had Eques track from the very thing that follows them everywhere. )

And he's not concerned with threats that aren't threats yet, from my understanding. In fact, he's much more domestically minded than he is in true trouble prevention. Outside of those who step outside of the roles he decides on for them.
invoking: (shadow.)

Maybe they arrived before us. [ His brows knit closely together. ] It's happened before, in Metricog. There were Skrulls there, according to those who ran into them.

[ A light sigh. ]

We'll be here about a week, if this follows the same patterns as the other worlds. Toward the end of the week Vulcanus might make an appearance.
auntyquated: (consider; they puzzle me)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-03 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Are the two in any way related?

( Vulcanus and the Skrulls, she means; coincidence rarely seems to be purely coincidental. )
invoking: (» 030)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ A grim nod. ]

The Skrulls are allied with Vulcanus. I'm not sure why or what Vulcanus has offered them. They don't like outsiders, so they must be using the Skrulls.
auntyquated: (consider; they puzzle me)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-03 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Like the Skrulls might be using them. What are these Skrulls known for, past their unspeakably uncanny mimicry of others?
invoking: commission. (dreamed that lie till it’s true.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-04 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Conquest.

[ Where? Apparently it doesn't matter; they seize any world they can get their hands on. ]
auntyquated: (irate; state of emergency)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-05 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
( Is this her dry expression.

Yes. Yes it is. )


How inspired.
invoking: commission. (what’s a god to a non-believer?)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-05 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe Vulcanus has promised them a world for their own to claim.

[ If they have plans to stand by their words.

He doubts it. ]
auntyquated: (turn; and you push me up to this)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-05 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
And do what with? A conqueror has a purpose, no matter what we think of it. Conquering for the sake of conquering doesn't mean they'll be content with just one world of their own -- they'll inevitably want more.
invoking: commission. (jfc he has yaoi hands.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
It could be they have plans to betray Vulcanus?
auntyquated: (observe; coincidence makes sense)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-06 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Which comes back around to the question of why, or what they stand to gain, on which we currently haven't the faintest idea.
invoking: (ugh.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He can only shake his head. ]

There's already been rumors of Skrulls infiltrating some of the governments back —

[ Not home. ]

In same world as the City.

A while back some imPorts exposed one.
auntyquated: (consider; they puzzle me)

[personal profile] auntyquated 2013-11-07 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Just one?

( There's no further network of Skrulls? No hint of who else? )
invoking: (resolute.)

[personal profile] invoking 2013-11-08 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't doubt there's more.

[ It's never so simple. ]
