Save Atlantis RPG

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

[CLARKE GRIFFIN]

You're going to see this one day. And when you do I want you to know that I think you brave and fearless. You went back home knowing the COS was waiting to destroy everything you ever knew and you fought hard. Every ripped photograph was ...

Look, Clarke. I know the team coming for you will not lose you. There's so much left to fight. We need you.

[TEAM MEMBERS]

Let's keep up with one another. Share any information as you get it, please? And let me know if you need anything at all.

[AGENTS OF SHIELD]

You know what? Fuck the COS. There. I said it! Fuck them for thinking they can kidnap us, battle us, try to erase us and rob our worlds of creativity. I will not stand for it. I'm ... well, I'm not standing too much right now.

Tiny little hairline fracture where I got smashed in the leg by an agent. It's splinted and I'll be fine but I'd like to put you all on high alert because your friend Jemma is quite done with politely begging pardon.

Daisy, any word on our kidnapped?

[MEDICAL]

I know it's not my place, but if you need a hand after the battle with the COS, I am available.

[OOC: After the teams return from the 100 world.]

[Temple Roberts]

Come to Medical. Your dad's here.

[Medical]

Coffee's on.

[Lorna Ramon]

It's going to be one of those You might want to give Medical a miss today. The mission teams are back.

( Left on her desk at lunchtime )

I hope everyone is taking regular precautions during flu season: washing hands, directing coughs into a tissue, etc. If you absolutely must go out in the storm today because you're compelled to buy bloody houseplants, bundle up and be careful. Also, if you are experiencing any alarming symptoms such as hearing voices or an urge to conquer Atlantis and haven't already consulted a medical professional, please do.

[Temple Roberts]

Since you're staying, I got you a housewarming present. It's an aloe vera. I figured it's attractive and useful, and not too high maintenance if your team gets sent on a mission.

[Lorna Ramon]

I was looking for a housewarming gift for Temple, and I picked up a few extra houseplants. This one looks nice and cheerful, and it's supposed to make a good tea for stress. I thought it might look nice in your place, if you have room for it.

[Claire Temple]

I went to the nursery and went a bit overboard. Would you like a houseplant? It's a marigold, nice and pretty, and calendula is good for lotions if you wanted to try.

[FILTERED TO HEALERS, MEDICAL PEOPLE, MAGIC SPECIALISTS & RESEARCHERS, SCIENTISTS, HAWKE + SOLAIRE*]

Hello! I can't stop worr Over a decade ago, I nearly died due to a corruption - we call it the Taint, it's a terrible word, so I apologize if I use it here. In our world, the only way to save someone from the corruption is to hope they survive a Grey Warden ritual - I went through it, and survived and became a Grey Warden. It's a lifelong debt, rather boring to hear about so I'll spare you, but it involved me (bleh) ingesting more of the actual corruption and a drop of archdemon blood so my body becomes "immune" to the Taint.

I say "immune", because it is actually more like a "cross your fingers and hope for the best" and prolongs, rather than heals entirely. Depending on the circumstances, we're given an extra twenty or so years to serve as a Grey Warden for all of Thedas, and I'm over halfway through that. It has a whole host of side-effects, including infertility.

For the record, I feel perfectly fine here. I wasn't actually going to inquire about figuring out any sort of cure, because I assumed we'd all go home after winning the war and there was no point to it. But now that I've met my son, and I know I have a future here--

Well, I would like to see if there's anything to be done, at some point.

I know Thedas magic does little for it, I can't just heal away any traces of the corruption in a simple zap, and we have only ever heard of one person that's managed a cure in our world and they refuse to share that information.


So, if you have any thoughts or would like to help, I would appreciate anything any of you might have to offer on the subject at hand.

Hi, Atlantis, I hope you all had a good Christmas.

I have two reminders for you:

#1, Sunday nights are tango night at Trocution. If you don't know how to tango, I do offer dance lessons. Just reach out to set something up if you'd like to learn.

#2, El Burke and I have been working together to plan a fucking fantastic masquerade ball for New Years Eve. I can promise a night to remember, so I hope I'll see you all there.

I hadn't planned on staying but having the opportunity to be able to not only draw and paint freely plus being able to display it was just too much to pass up. At home, I have to hide what I do and I have fallen in love with this place and I don't want it to end up like my home in the future. So I'm staying.

Happy New Year.

FRIENDS & FAMILY:

It’s my birthday so you’re all going to tolerate me being sappy for a moment, thank you.

The last few years have been a roller coaster, to say the least. A lot of highs that took my life places I never expected, and a lot of really low lows that did the same. More lows than anything else, the kind that spiral and you feel out of control. And then I came here and got to meet all of you (or see you again), got to have my mom meet all of you, got to spend the holiday with people I care about instead of staring at the walls of a hospital like every other year (which I didn’t hate, but this was a nice new normal, too), and that is a gift I’ll never take for granted. I feel really lucky to know all of you, and so I wanted to say thank you for making Atlantis one hell of a place to be.

Okay, I’m done. Carry on.

There are still icy patches on the roads and sidewalks. This is a reminder to everyone to step carefully. No one wants to be spending the holidays in Medical, including us.

[Future Three]

Has everyone had time to recover from the shock? Seen your strangely young parents? We're going out.

Good morning. My name is Adelaide Vallon. I'm told that it's almost 2019, which means I'm a little while out from being born, but I'm Porthos and Aramis' daughter.

It's nice to meet you.

Well, hello there again, Atlantis of the past. Did you miss me that much? Talk about some serious deja vu.

December 8th-14th

EVERYONE & THEIR NPCS
VARIOUS TIMES • INTAKE
RATING - TBD
IC/OOC THREAD

Starting December 8th, characters who were somehow wished for by people in Atlantis will start to show up from intake! Whoever wished for them will be called by an intake or relations specialist and additional personnel will be called in to help with all this processing! Below, you will find separate comment threads for each day between the 8th and the 14th with threads for OOC chatting and IC interaction (texts, network chatter, etc). We are asking that a bulk of the "hi, wtf" netposts and texts be kept to this post rather than having almost 90 NPCs all make separate network posts when they arrive. THIS POST ONLY COVERS THE FIRST WEEK OF THIS PLOT. IF ANOTHER IS NEEDED PAST THEN, IT WILL BE POSTED NEXT WEEKEND :) If you haven't requested caccess to the IC community with your NPC journals, please feel free to do that now! We will not be sending invites since IJ doesn't let us use the console for that and there are a fucking lot.

Guess there are worse things than rebuilding a Christmas decoration collection. Rose, Dr. McCoy, Dr. Fitzsimmons, if any of you have objections to decorations, let me know and I'll keep it to my room. But I'd rather Might be a little sad, though, to be honest.

[FILTERED TO MEDICAL TYPES + SCIENCE TYPES + MAGIC TYPES + GABRIEL REYES]

I'm looking to talk to people who have experience in altering genetic codes. Know somebody that underwent experiments that altered his body's genetic code at a cellular level for the worse. Looking to at least stabilize him, if anyone is even familiar with that kind of science.

I am so sorry for the shoes I stole yesterday. I have no idea what got into me.

I have managed to return them all though.

PLOT: ONE CHARACTER EACH wants to steal other peoples shoes today.

I never quite thought I would say these words but er, here we are ... hello, Atlantis. My name is Jemma Simmons(Fitz) and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. I've been here before (in one form or another) and though I don't have memories of my time here, I'm familiar with multiple realities and universes. So, what I will say to you is this ...

If you knew me before, I would very much like to be friends with you again. Please feel free to say hello. If you didn't know me, well. We're on the same page and that's really lovely.

Field Agent Team 21 - I'm with you. And I'm staying in Heart.

[TEAM BUS - DAISY, FITZ, COULSON, MAY]

All right, you lot. We need to catch up and I'm not about spoilers unless you want them. I've got some memories kicking about in my head and I want to know what you think about them.

[FITZ, PHIL]

Hello, Phil. Please tell me a bit about yourself? I am so happy to get an opportunity to know you.

Anyone still struggling with new powers who has not visited Medical yet, I highly advise you to do so. New abilities often lead to new vulnerabilities or to new requirements on the body: changes in diet, exercise and daily routine, for example. There is always someone in Medical or on call, and we are discrete. If you'd prefer to contact someone privately, my phone is always on and I'm always willing to help.

[Lorna Ramon and Penny Adiyodi]

And since these things have a tendency to get people more agitated than usual, if either of you need anything, I'm here for that, as well.

Congratulations again to Mara and Cassian. i'm so happy for both of you.

PHIL FS

Hey,

So I was thinking about the dance that was coming up and if you don't have a date yet, would you like to go with me?

I need to punch things.

And a drink.


[Daisy]
Do you need anything?

All right, Atlantis. Thanks for the medical care - you've got your act together more than the entirety of the American healthcare system, so credit where credit's due. Quid pro quo systems don't tend to work on me, but I assume since you've classified me as a "villain" you'd have already figured that out. Therapy, Atlantis? Really? Disappointing.

Sydney, Mitch. I see you've made friends.

Has anyone else never notice how erie scrubs look? I never noticed before.

[Lorna Ramon]

I'm sorry I failed at trivia last night. I just couldn't seem to concentrate. The lights were getting to me, I guess.

[Medical]

I don't know if I'll be able to come in today.

PLOT: Phil drank a special drink yesterday and is irrationally frightened of ordinary things.
