mandalus :: the city of fates. :: Logs

Who: Nyota Uhura (speaksklingon) and you!
What: Mistletoe, ugly sweaters, Christmas, oh my!
When: December 21st.
Where: All around town; mostly the Enterprise and the residential & business districts.
Rating: PG for copious kissing, will be marked otherwise.

[ when Nyota had woken up that morning (early, as usual), she'd found all of the shirts in her wardrobe replaced by one particularly ugly and possibly nsfw sweater. and try as she might to search for something else, short of wearing a sheet for the rest of the day or just forgoing clothes all together, there was no other option. she had to wear the sweater. no choice.

she hated being forced to do anything.

wearing an extremely unhappy look, you might run into her around the Enterprise (if you have reason to be there), around town doing some Christmas shopping, or wandering around the residential districts. she's so upset by this sweater business, she hasn't even noticed the mistletoe that has cropped up around the area - because honestly? mistletoe here?

have a very (un)merry christmas, mandalus. ]

WHO: The City of Mandalus and YOU!
WHAT: it has been snowing since the First of December. Now with the sickness on the mend, it is time for citizens and Honored Guests alike to join in the snow fun!
WHERE: Anywhere in Mandalus!
WHEN: 12/13 - 12/21
RATING: Pending on the thread.

Snow has fallen on the city of Mandalus. Now that the Cult has been temporarily taken care of, and the sickness beaten, the city is slowly attempting to return to normal. The Lights of Life holiday is just around the corner, which has many talking about the holiday with the joint government of citizens and C'Meni. While the chatter happens in the background, children and adults have fun in the snow all over the city.

Go out and have fun!

Who: Khan and anyone he happens to run into; feel free to pick a floor for him to meet you on
What: Khan is doing a more detailed search of the capital building.
Where: The Capital Building, where the gob'mint stuff happened
When: The day after the battle to defeat the Cult
Rating: PG, I guess, will update if it changes

[Khan had memorized the layout of the capital building, with its 42 floors, each with a varying number of rooms. He'd only done a preliminary sweep before, when they'd won the battle. There'd even been a few Cultists left over, stranglers who must've not had a chance to escape, but he had made short of work of them. Or taken them prisoner if they seemed at all useful.

But now, this time, Khan intended to search every room. He'd already put some of his troops on it, and told them to radio him if they found anything useful or interesting. Part of the garrison that was left guarding the tower gave him a nod as he passed through the doors.

The first floor was nothing particularly spectacular and had nothing to it that he could find, either. So he got into the elevator and headed up to the second floor. Apart from whatever the Cult may have been up to, he wanted to find the machine that the System had used to bring everyone here. Find it, and figure out how it worked.]

WHO: The Militia, The Cult, and You!
WHAT: The Honored Guests have rallied together to take the Central District to remove the Cult from power. It will take several days, but they hope to get to the Capital Building and bring Morris down to her knees.
WHERE: The Central District
WHEN: 11/23 - 11/26 (backdating+forward dating enabled)
RATING: Pending on the thread.

Noise erupts from the borders of the Central District. Citizens and Honored Guests alike are present to take the city back from the Cult. They aim to thwart the plans of Madam Morris and what she has been doing in the Spaceport, as well as her dictatorship. Will they be successful?

Who: Prisoners of C'Vorti, The C'Meni and The Headless Horseman
What: After having radioed out to the city, Khan and Kirk have mustered enough items to start an attempt of breaking out of C'Vorti. With a few C'Meni at their aid, the Prisoners are going to attempt breaking out of their ruined city prison.
Where: Ruins of C'Vorti, mountains south of the Old Town District
When: 11/13
Rating: Pending on the thread. Subthread is made for the Horseman!

The Princess had decided it was best to trust those Honored Guests who were in prison with them. While she knew their faces, the man known as Khan was not one she knew well. Her people worried about the looming ship of his. Distant memories of the near mythical past of Mandalus's days in space floated around. The Princess was quick to silence the talk but knew it was in the back of their minds. Even so, she offered the man any soldier of hers that would be willing to go with him. They had few left and she made sure the Augment knew such things before allowing any of her people to go with them. Their kind was soon to be extinct.

Despite that the Princess had also organized her people to be back up. If they were able to brace themselves out of the prison, then they would have one shot at it. Her people arrived at the meeting point, there to aid the Honored Guests.

They had no idea that P'Tyara and the others were on the other side. All that Iafara knew was that Khan had made contact with another.

Who: C'Meni & You!
What: Rescuing prisoners
Where: C'Vorti
When: November 13th
Rating: R for violence

With a message sent on an encrypted frequency to all Honored Guests that walked freely within the city, the time and date were set. Today, they would make an assault on C'Vorti and free those who needed to be freed.

Many people turned up to help, military, Honored Guests, and C'Meni alike, and they all had their tasks to do. The mission was fairly straight-forward; there would be an initial assault on the Cultists guarding the exterior of the prison. Once they were dealt with, several people would remain behind with the military to fight off those who would come in place of the fallen Cultists. After that, Honored Guests would infiltrate the prison by whatever means necessary. Once the imprisoned Guests and C'Meni were found, they would be equipped with spare weaponry brought by the C'Meni and the escape would begin.

All wounded were to be taken to the safe house at 7th Heaven. There, they would be protected and treated.

P'Tyara had run the plan over with everyone, through the message she had sent, and now it was time to begin.

Who: Luke Castellan and Khan
What: A meeting in the forest, after accidentally locating Khan's troops.
Where: Forest
When: Backdated to a week ago!
Rating: PG?
Notes: None!

Luke had been living in the forest since he'd arrived here, used to it, from the roughing it to even the occasional nightmarish creature wandering around in it. He had backbiter, his wits, and a plan of action. It was all he needed to forge forward.

Unfortunately, the quiet life outside of the cityscape proper had recently been encroached upon by a not unlarge group. He'd scouted them out; trainees, by the looks of them, and by the drills; and had made an approach on the encampment. He wasn't sure what he'd done to trigger their notice and give himself away, but, ten minutes later, here he was: three guys down, one in a headlock, backbiter to his neck.

"You have about three seconds to tell me whose in charge here, before I forget how to be diplomatic."

Who: Tifa Lockhart and YOU

Rating: Pending on the thread.
Notes: Thread hop guys! Also feel free to bring any of the monsters from the Halloween event in.

Who: Princess Iafara and Prisoners in C'Vorti
What: Iafara and the captured C'Meni have been nursing themselves back to health in hopes of breaking out of the city prison. They have no idea that the Honored Guests have been captured as well.
Where: Ruins of C'Vorti, mountains south of the Old Town District
When: 10/28 - 10/31
Rating: Pending on the thread.

Along with those that had been captured, Princess Iafara had taken wounds. They were not as deep as others had sub-stained, but they were enough to cause her mobility to be shortened. As such they had taken a small building as their own. It had once been a diner, she thought. There were guards placed outside as others slept in booths and on the floors in the kitchen. It was nothing new to her people. They were nomadic by nature after all.

Who: Those arrested by the Cult
What: Welcome to the ruins of C'Vorti, the once capital of Mandalus. Here you and other Honored Guests that are captured will meet, greet and hopefully find the C'Meni in order to free yourselves.
Where: Ruins of C'Vorti, mountains south of the Old Town District
When: 10/23 - 10/26
Rating: Varies between threads.
Notes: Start your own thread and tag into others! This is a meet-and-greet styled log.

C'Vorti Prison, the ruined city of the once might capital of the Mandalus Empire some five hundred years ago. Now it simply is a decaying city wracked with criminals of every kind. From the criminally insane to those who simply spoke out against the Cult, and the fabled C'Meni,
the prison city was now home to all of them. Given only part of the city was accessible, it would be easy to stage a revolt and break out. If one could get past magical wards placed by the Cult of Mes'Klou.

For now? Simply meet with one another and see what can be done. Perhaps finding the C'Meni would be the best idea...

Who: Mary Margaret Blanchard & Emma Swan
What: Mourning David and mother/daughter talks.

Who: Sam Winchester and YOU
Where: All over Mandalus
When: October 16-18th
Warnings: Standard emo!Winchester warnings apply

Sam was bored. Super bored, now that he couldn't do anything! Dean was still trying to figure out how to let Sam into Bobby's house without having to cut apart an entranceway, and Sam could only stare at the broken cars for so long before he drove himself insane.

And Mandalus didn't need an insane ghost of Sam Winchester right now.

It took him two days, but he finally found a gap in the iron lines around the salvage yard that left Sam leave the yard and head into town.

This is a bad idea he thought as he walked towards familiar places with familiar people. But that didn't stop him because he just needed to be around and about and some kind of interaction.

As long a no one actually tried to touch him, he could pull off pretending like nothing was wrong, right?

Who: The Spine and Tony Stark
What: Spine's getting some tech help.
Where: The park, then Underground
When: 10/12
Rating: Given Tony's here it's gonna hang at around PG-13 to be safe.

Despite the fact that The Spine had been hard at work getting his projects up, he had to at least act like everything was normal, don't draw attention to any oddities in his routines. Which meant that like every weekend, he could be found during the day in the park, playing guitar for passerbys. Normally he'd spend the evening after in one club or the other lounge continuing to play, but he'd taken the night off, not sure how long he'd be occupied.

When he started to pack up, he kept an eye out for Tony, settling his guitar back into it's case, sliding a pair of sturdy gloves over his hands. Things were fine for now, but he knew it would just get colder and gloves wouldn't be enough to keep the finer servos in his fingers from jamming.

He'd deal with that later though, right now there were more pressing matters to attend to.

Who: Sam Winchester and anyone at Singer Salvage
When: Sunday Morning
Where: Singer Salvage - the house, garage, and car lot

It was a dark room. Sam could barely see, but shadows danced in candlelight. Hooded figures stood around him, and he knew that he couldn't move an inch.

He had enough training in him, however, to be able to try and find any kind of detail he could. But he felt so tired - weak - it was hard to. He was cold, on something hard. Not the floor, because he wasn't looking at feet. He could hear words in a language he had barely begun to understand. Masks. A snake.

And then a soul splitting pain that ripped through him, forcing a scream from his lungs.

He woke up in the passenger seat of the Impala, panting hard. He reached up and rubbed at his eyes, then looking around at where he was and then relaxed in the seat. Of all the places in Mandalus, the Impala was his home and the only place he truly felt safe. He didn't remember falling asleep in the car...

A moment later he found himself staring at the back door of Bobby's house. He looked around, confused as to how he got there, and a sudden spike of fear gripped his stomach. His hand went for the doorknob... and passed right through it.

"No." He tried again, but he couldn't grip it. He bit his lip, then pressed his hand against the door and made to push it. His hand started to go through it, then stopped as if a barrier existed in the middle of the wood.

"Oh no," he muttered as he backed away, then looked up at the house.

"Dean!" he shouted, hoping his brother was inside and awake. "DEAN!"

Who: Wrathion and YOU (come, be a champion)
What: Wrathion has a few selected people to be his 'champions' - people he will sponsor and equip through the war against the Cult and Mes'Klou. Those selected are receiving hand written letters of invintation. Otherwise? Rumors have spread of the mysterious Black Prince looking for seasoned fighters or those with unique talents. Maybe you should come by and see if he will sponsor you as well. [ ACCEPT QUEST | DENY ]
Where: The Mandalus Black Market, under the decaying Mandalay near the Spaceport.
When: 10/11 - 10/21 - come whenever!
Rating: PG
Notes: Free for all to anyone, prose or bracket! Those who have yet been given the task by Wrathion for his little protection charm will receive it in this post. Feel free to also respond back to this post when you want your characters to receive it!

It was a trying time for all those involved in the conflict against the Cult, Madam Morris, and the Seprent God named Mes'Klou. Finding proper protection and those loyal to the cause proved a tad more difficult in the native population than Wrathion first thought. Most preferred to simply let the armies handle it; others were apathetic to the whole situation. He did however manage to find a few that would serve as bodyguards and those who would help the other Honored Guests he chose to make his own champions.

Who: Enterprise Crew (Kirk, Uhura, McCoy, Frye, Lewis, and your people can always text/call the people in the crew to see if they're okay oh god why did I say that I fear for my inbox)
Where: Lewis-Martinsson residence
When: After the attack on the Spaceport
Warnings: Language, I guess? sexual situations ha kidding


With the chaos that was the cultists overrunning the Spaceport and snatching up the C'Meni left and right, things were, for lack of a better word, insane. Part of the crew had managed to get a handle of the C'Meni on a shuttle and got them away safely. The crew that were native to Mandalus, they knew where to go, the fastest way to return safely to their homes. But the main crew of the Enterprise, that technically was their home. Kirk, McCoy, Uhura. Kaylee, even, since the people she lived with before had left the city...and her homeless. The only one that had someplace to go was Darcy. Realizing they had a safehouse made Darcy so very thankful that she hadn't sold it off after Magnus was taken from her.

With another shuttle, she directed them to her neighborhood, having the shuttle parked in a wooded area to the south of the house. She wished it was like Star Trek IV, and they had a vessel that could shield itself. Darcy led the way through the back yard, letting herself into the sliding door, keeping it open for her crewmates. It was going to be a little crowded. No. Not crowded. Cozy. She preferred the term 'cozy' to crowded.

"Okay, so, this here is the kitchen, obviously. Living room through there. There's a half-bath down the hall. Up the stairs is the master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a full bath. Basement is furnished and has a pool table. So, that's fun." Darcy rambled off as she pointed her arms in all different directions as she explained the house. She was exhausted and sweaty and ached all over. She knew that everyone else was the same way.

"Any questions?"
