PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

...This isn't a Halloween prank, is it?

Guys, Kat's gone.

I tried to clear the fog, but I couldn't. I'm sorry. I could only clear the area directly infront of me. But even then it just closed back up. It's too thick. I'm worried about Appa, I should stay outside with him tonight.

[ooc: Post-patrolling. Pissed!Mack is pissed.]

Charlie Marquez, as of this moment you are no longer part of this team. Your second chance? You've had it, and you blew it. Now we all know just how much you really care about this city and the people living in it. It doesn't matter what they think of us. We help the helpless, we fight for those who can't fight for themselves, not to be praised but because it's the right thing to do. That's who the Power Rangers are, but it's obviously not who you are.

If I thought you'd do it, I'd tell you to turn in your morpher. Since I know you won't, just remember you're outnumbered. Now stay away from my team.

[ooc: In case you're wondering, Yami, yes, I used "we help the helpless" on purpose.]

It's not real. It's not real. It's not real. It's not real. You're not real. You're dead. I'm ignoring you. Typing this is going to help. Staring at the screen is going to help. Ignoring you is going to help. I can't see you. I can't hear you. I have my headphones in. You aren't here. You don't exist. You're just an illusion. I didn't kill you, you made the deal yourself. Not here. Not here.

It'll all be over soon. Don't worry, guys. Just hang tight.

Now it feels like home. Headache and all.

[ooc: after the sirens go off and the final shift takes place.]

This is for peoples good.

This is the thing you want me to give my blood to aid??

This is death, decay. There is nothing good in this.

Faith says she trusts you Heather, But I cannot help but see this as something dark..

Lindsey, I told you so.

A young man named Xander Harris has informed me that my presence is requested by the fellowship that he is a member of. I suppose say I am quite interested in aiding in your struggle against the dark. I shall be arriving shortly.

Everything outside, its because of the ritual...

They say they didn't know but if I don't help it won't stop..others are helping I just...Well look at it Jacen, its not exactly making me confident.

And that Alessa, she was in my head, telling me if I didn't help it would fail. That I had to.

Help me keep her out? I need them to leave me alone...

Especially lately with...I don't want to get that angry again. I can't

This is screwed up!

Hell, this place is hell only fog instead of fire. I want to go back to where I came from. Being dead was more peaceful than this!

Enough is enough. The Hyperion is now officially on yellow alert. No one else is leaving, I don't care what your excuse may be. The only way anyone is going outside is if they're going to patrol, and they are not going alone.

However, if you feel you have a legitimate need to be outside, let me know why and we'll see what we can come up with. Nobody is a prisoner here, but I can't have people running off half-cocked either. So unless you're going to patrol, do not leave without clearance from me.

Gabe: I want you at the front desk. Watch the system and if any of these things get past our outer defenses, I want to know ASAP.

Buffy: gather up a group and go hit the streets, please. You're in charge out there, but everyone in the group needs to check in with the hotel every fifteen minutes. No excuses.

Katara: Seal up the basement and anywhere else, besides the front door, that might be used for an entrance point. That includes the garden, so if you haven't already gotten Appa to the roof you need to do that, now.

As for everyone else - if you want to go patrolling, let Buffy know. If you want to guard the hotel itself, let me know. Anyone leaving the hotel, let Gabe know the minute you're doing it. No trying to sneak out, it's only going to get you locked out.

Everyone else... stay inside. There's plenty you can do inside to help as much as those who are outside. Gather weapons, anything heavy, sharp, or dangerous will work, and start bringing them to the lobby. Double-check our supplies. If we need more of something, make a list. We'll find a way to get it.

And let's all try to keep in mind, this is going to be over soon. We just need to stay safe, and keep others safe, in the meantime.

Any questions?

Oh, and if anyone knows how to make that stupid siren stop, I'd love to hear suggestions. Besides making myself deaf. Already came up with that one on my own.

This... reminds me of what happened when I was trapped in my apartment... When I went out into the apartment building it looked like this.

I'm not going outside; I'm not stupid... but I feel trapped again.

Well now, if this doesn't this bring up pleasant memories of the stories they used to tell us at Wish House, I don't know what would.

Lock up your children. Lock up yourselves. There is no salvation for sinners like you.

I saw a scary movie last night and now I'm seeing scary stuff EVERYWHERE. I'M SORRY, I'LL NEVER WATCH A SCARY MOVIE EVER AGAIN.

I hate this place so much. Words can not express my hate for this place.

[Filtered to the brothers and Lis]
Are you freaking out? I'm freaking out! I am officially. Freaking. Out. We need a Big Rob.

[Filtered to Alex]
Don't go outside. Don't look outside. Actually, don't even move. I'll be there soon. I love you.

My building looks like Hell literally swept through it, and my receptionist just threw her shoe at a potted plant and then hysterically told me that it had been a monster six seconds ago. Right... And if one more person in this place thinks they’re running out the door because their goldfish is sitting at home unattended, I think I might lose my mind. Yelling gets old when you’ve been doing it for two days in a row.

I want to go outside. That’s wrong.

[Mental link to Heather]

Almost done?

[Mental link to Sam Winchester]

Almost ready?

[mental link to Peter]

Over soon.

I can smell the blood everywhere and the sirens hurt. God, I wish I could go home. Gabriel and I, we were supposed to be married soon and my pack family… They need me.

Do these types of things happen a lot around here? I hope they don't.

Out of everything I've experienced on this planet to date, that karking siren was definitely the most annoying by far.

If anything happens to me
I just want you to
It'd be a way to go though, wouldn't it? No chance of me going darkside if I go out fighting the good fi

Hey Dean. Remember Tom & Jerry? How we used to watch it all the time when we were kids?

Funny cartoon. Haven't seen it in years.

Just like home. I do miss home. Something feels strange though. Guilt is crying out, but from one area.

I'm coming there soon.

{Filtered to Lindsey, Sarah, Peter, and Mary Jane}

Tell me you guys are okay.

I'm sure it's everywhere, but is the ground on fire where you are? Scads of nurses with insufficient amounts of clothing and facial features? Snow?

Man, does weird shit ever not happen here? Fuck, last night, there was blood splattered all over my window, and I have no idea how it even could have gotten there... don't wanna know.


[The landlady]

I know you don't want anyone going out, and I don't intend to, but is there maybe anything I can do to help around here? I notice you got some of those Ranger guys helping out in the building, but I thought I might offer some sort of assistance, too. I can't just sit here while all hell is breaking lose outside.



[ooc: Yes, John's at Isis, and yes, John doesn't know Lana's name. lol]

Geesh. So much for a break after the Apocalypse. A young girl can't take a break anymore. Tell me the mist and the corpses are just pure Halloween show.

It's over?

It's actually over with!

I should be sleeping. We did it! Now he can't hurt anyone else!

Remember the masquerade ball I mentioned ages ago, before all hell broke loose?

I think now is the time we start seriously planning.

So who is helping? And by helping I mean doing what I tell you to do, to make my planning that much easier.
