Bellum Letale--A Pre-Made Roleplaying Community

[The day after this]

I don't suppose you have any advice for a man who's spilled his secret indentity to the woman he was once engaged to and now has her living in his apartment?

Yes. I am faintly aware that I might have screwed up everything. But I have a back-up She's got a cover There's only two other people on this floor and Hannah hopefully doesn't know who Gina is She said she wouldn't say anything

How did the Full Moon treat you?

[Locked to D2A & D2B]

And how did the Full Moon treat you? Is Gina alright, why the fuck was she crying? If she's Mercedes then she's going to

Are you alright? It looked like that knife went in fairly deep.

Riddle me this Bellum - hypothetically, how many of you believe the next Full Moon will go as "planned"? I need to get them out of here if it does

Contract is in your mailbox. Let me know if everything is in order and if anything needs to be changed.

YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED YOU FUCKING NUMBSKULL AND WHERE WILL I BE THEN? AND WHAT ABOUT GINA YOU

There were a few mentions of a dinner between the three of us awhile ago. My schedule is open the next week and [...] considering recent events, we might as well get down to business. Lucas, I think I have a plan that will work.

Prideux, it's a shame we've never met in person. Cocktails on me and a chance to trade stories. What do you say?

Fuck should I even This is gonna be a mistake But I have to know if she

I'm looking for [...] the woman that helped me and Ella with Tegan back in Russia. Do I have to say anything more? I don't want to tell everyone what I'm sorry I never caught your name due to [...] circumstances. Shoot me a message so I know you got back okay when you get the chance. Thanks.

As much as I'm sure none of us really wants to relive what happened the other day, in the interest of figuring everything out as much as this building will make that possible, you're going to have to humor me. I'm sure it'll be of great interest to a lot of you, anyway, to know exactly what's happened, what you missed, and what your currently-hospitalized loved ones may have gone through.

What I know so far is that people have gone to Chicago, early 1929; Russia, 1917; and France, likely 1789. I know that people have gotten hurt, sometimes badly, because of this. If you could say where you went, what you saw, what you did because I've been doing some research and I'm seeing things that aren't right, so I'm curious as to what the hell you all did, and who you were with, and if they were hospitalized or not, I'll compile a list and send it out later if everyone's interested. If anybody has anything complied already, I'd like a look at it.

If you don't want other people to know, just send it to me privately and I'll be sure to credit you as 'anonymous'. I can keep secrets, unlike some people. And don't complain at me about probing too deep into anything and being a nosy bastard. It's pointless, this is helpful, and complaining isn't going to change anything.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, disregard this. If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you're new to this building, nice to meet you. I suggest you move out as soon as possible.

Hello! My name is Pilar and I've moved into Apt. 707 with my sister Mimi. Some of you might have already run into her already. I just thought I'd apologize about the noise. I know we just got here, but there is much redecorating to be done before we can call our house a home. On another note, living out of boxes and eating pizza all the time is adventurous and all, but does anyone know a good take-out restaurant that delivers in this area? We moved on short notice and haven't gotten a chance to scope out the area. The door's currently open perpetually while we let the fumes of the glue air out of the apartment if anyone wants to stop by and say "Hi!" or help out.

My name is Lily. I've just moved in myself. Strangely enough, I was also pulled away to Russia... and then to the hospital...

I have some family members in the building, but I've lost my list of contacts when I was syncing my phone last night. Something to do with the SIM card. Probably more to do with me. :( Here's hoping that they're able to read this. I'd rather not have to knock on every door in the building asking which room they're in, or seeing if that's their door. Which I will have to, if that's my last resort--let this be my courtesy apology in advance if so for bothering you. ;) And yes, I should have it all memorized by heart, you're right, but technology makes me rely on it to be my memory. Now it's my amnesia. :(

I'm originally from here, but moved to San Francisco for a long while to finish school. I've been back here for a few years performing in theatre, until mine closed down. That's what lead me to Bellum.

Let's see, some facts about me... that aren't too revealing.

Thanks for having me. :)

Jesus Tapdancing Christ! Where the hell have I been? Rhetorical question. I actually plead the fifth regarding my existence for the past however many hours I've been locked in a laboratory with my head up my ass piss drunk gone.

Since everyone is thrilled to see and hear from me once more, I have decided to host a classy get-together for all of my dear friends here. Where and when can be decided at a later date, but for now we can just pick a theme.

Options:

- Recapturing Lost Innocence. Remember those days of your dewy and glowing virginity? ...no? Neither do I. For this party, you'd arrive with someone who wasn't your current partner. If you don't have a partner then just grab someone off the street, it's fine.

- ABC Party. Stands for Anything But Clothes. I'm not talking nakedness because getting arrested is not on the agenda and, well, some of you really need to keep your clothes on for the sake of my retinas. But obviously creativity comes into play here.

- Rave Party. Blacklights, florescent colors, glowsticks. What's to hate about this?

- Wine and Cheese from Around the World. Nerds only.

That's just something to ponder. For those who don't know who I am, I'm Samuel but no one calls me that anymore so Sam is fine. It's shorter and rolls off the tongue easier. I don't do anything like tarot cards or palm readings or seances; I'm actually a scientist of sorts so I can appreciate mental disturbances. It will help me fit in really well around here. You may have also seen me around at various benefits and other charity events - I believe in giving back to the community, and I have a few causes I am strongly devoted to but I don't like to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be seeing you all around at some point. Try not to burn the building down - those stairs can be tricky to navigate when your pants are on fire.

Headed out of town for a day or two, I've contacted everyone who needs contacting, I'll be in touch with you as soon as I get back.

[locked to 1104B]

I'm going out of town for a day or two, can you water my plants, walk Quincey, and feed my fish (his name is Hal and he's awesome)? Don't throw any wild keggers. If I come home and see you playing beer pong with frat boys, we'll have a problem.

It may not have crossed your minds, but these forum posts should still be accesible when our respective counterparts return to the building. If you have a specific message to them or another, recording something for them would be a wise idea.

As warning to those of you haven't already thought of this - I can assure you, others will make use of this information later on.

[The voice is confused and agitated, and very much Serena's]

What the hell? Wasn't something supposed to have happened? The moon's up and I haven't changed into anything. All of you were out of your godd Why have the boards gone voice only? And why the hell can't I get out?

Oh, and if someone can explain why I'm being bowled over by waves of emo

[Locked to 806]

You're an even better liar than I thought. You really had me going there, Ja Chris. But I won't hold it against you, not after that spectacular night out.

[She clears her throat and begins speaking calmly and sounds composed but it is clear she is a bit stressed by the situation]

Excuse me, I cannot be kept here, I cannot be locked up like this. Not again. Nothing good ever came from locking someone away. I can see that I am not the only person in this position, should someone find their way out, I do hope you will share the secret with the rest of us. What if there's a fire?

[The sound of furious banging against a heavy surface, followed by a series of snarls and words spoken in Romanian before he switches to English]

Who dares attempt to imprison Count Dracula? I have been tolerant of your inferior species for far too long - these walls cannot hold me forever, and when I am free, whoever is responsible for this will beg for death when I find them.

[The heavy sound of footsteps as he begins to pace back and forth] All of you will rue the day you crossed me, and this building will be mine, for you are merely mortal and I am superior; I will rule this pitiful place and destroy all who stand in my way.

[A pause] Mina, where are you? I can sense you, but these infernal walls will not yield.

This better not be as much of a disaster as Daniel's post was

As most of you are aware, the Full Moon is less than 48 hours away. Some of you might have made plans to keep yourselves and others safe. Everyone at this time should be aware of what the moon entails - changing into 'stories' or 'fables' which are dormant for the rest of the month. In the past, there's been various people who have been put in danger.

If you're able to stay in your room and keep your fable within their and safe so much the better - a group of us are willing to help with barricades should you need them. We'd like everyone to keep safe and ensure that no one is harmed by events of the moon. Certain people might be able to keep their fables protected by various means - if you need assistance, we'd be happy to help.

Let's keep in mind that everyone here should have the same goal - everyone, no matter what their fable is, needs to be kept protected.

Should you feel unsafe or are willing to move to an area that has better reinforcements and is better prepared for our [...] fable counterparts, there's a proposal for you. If we pooled our money together for a first floor apartment, with the proper preparations, we could have it as a 'safe room' for the moon. This would be temporary, for this moon and perhaps the next, until we know how well it works or have a better plan. If we all chipped in, for the safety of the community, it shouldn't cost that much.

We'd like to elect someone who the community can agree on as being safe to have on guard, for afterwards. While we encourage everyone to come up with a plan to keep themselves and those around them safe, we'd like to know if you need assistance as soon as possible. Time is ticking and we need to get to work now, if preparations need to be made.

EDIT::

If you're willing to make a donation, head over to Cole in 802. If you'd like to make use of the safe room, head down to the first floor at 3. We'll begin settling in then.
