TO THE HIDEOUS END

The descent into madness is accelerating as more of Mathias's mysteries are revealed.

Once again, there are a lot of moving parts to this log. Ask questions if something is not clear! Please also make sure to check questions others ask, as well.

There are also multiple places where players may need to submit information for mod feedback. Responses to these will be prioritized to ensure everyone can move forward and get to the fun stuff.

Doc Holliday

[thering]

I've no concrete plans right now, will wait to see what dead bodies will be available. Keen for finding a couple of corpses on the west side of town. Also Doc will be injured and most likely will be moving to wherever on the west side that the 1306 gang has congregated.

Due to his injuries he won't be doing too much exploring this log. Negan and Doc will be doing some slutty nurse things I think... 🤔 Open to anyone else!

Edit: also need someone to tell him about Neal, Athena and Jeff 😭

[liliowy]

hi!! I would love it if yen could run into doc upon her return day 79! (Or another day if that works better with any other plans!!) she missed a LOT 😂

Steve Rogers

[just_akidfrombrooklyn]

Steve is a new arrival, so he can be found near the town hall on Day 79. He'll immediately start investigating and checking on the well-being of others, which means he may also find corpses as he goes.

He is uninjured, however, at this point.

[liliowy]

hi there!! yen will be the new (old) arrival there with him, so i would love for her to run into him! maybe fill in some blanks, share the confusion!

Tai

[twowaypath]

No concrete plans so far. I'll probably toss a few copies of his body around for whoever wants them, and see who's around to find. Hit me up if there's something in particular you want to do.

Also, I have no idea where he would have been sleeping. If there are people sort of clustered anywhere, he might have joined them? If you're up for him having spent the nights in the same vicinity as your character, let me know.

Re: Tai

[tinstar]

HELLO!

We have not yet gotten a chance to play but I'd love for Raylan to meet Tai and he'd be welcome to come to the school where the rest of (most of) the Phillips commune is huddling!

Eliot Spencer

[likeknives]

There is an influx of Eliot corpse dopplegangers upon the horizon. He will end up finding Parker's and Hardison's corpses too, and I'm also up for him finding anyone else's! He's still got plenty of sanity left so he can take it...for now.

2 of Eliot's copies are taken so far (one for Parker and one for himself), feel free to grab one! It's a free for all! Corpses for you and you and you! I was also thinking of adding a couple more for day 80 or 81, but we'll see how it goes with plotting.

F in the chat for everyone

[setthetone]

eliot

eliot he's so sick of finding your bodies

Ellie | The Last Of Us

[enduresurvive]

Ellie's corpse appears with a broken neck outside the movie theatre on Day 79 if someone wants to find her and maybe tell her about it on day 80 or later). She won't be entertained by that! She's staying in the movie theatre on night 78 so she's narrowly missing seeing her own dead corpse here because I'm just mean like that, whoops.

Day 79 she finds Tai's body. (Location TBD)

I don't currently have plans for where she'll be staying after the movie theatre; she doesn't really want to be alone so she'll gravitate towards the others for the remaining days. Only clear plans is that she meets Tai alive sometime after she sees him dead.

On Day 80, Ellie will find her own body outside of the ruins of the burned down History Museum. What's weird is apparently she will have drowned. Well that's fucked up! Looking for one taker for her to run into immediately after this unsettling event!

Day 81, no solid plans but my quota for finding bodies is full. Open to other plans and other places to stay for the evenings though!



She'll be really upset to learn that Neal is gone. :c

[liliowy]

gently slides in hello !

yen will be returning day 79! i would definitely love for them to run into each other - any preference on what day? she can def either see her body on day 79 and tell her later, or if you prefer, to be there on day 80!! whatever you'd like more!

alec hardison

[ofthegeek]

i am swinging back in from hiatus to try to get on the endgame horse so!! first off if anyone wants to handwave some general minor bg interactions CR stuff, feel free to hit me up bc i had hardison on autopilot through july and he would've still been trying to do his social thing when possible, generally.

so far this log i've got plotting for hardison to find live parker trying to revive a dead eliot on day 79, and a dead hardison in the toy store on day 81 (being discovered by eliot).

the leverage gang is holing up in the movie theatre for the duration if anyone wants to have those hangs and shared spoopy experiences!!

and i'm open to finding of bodies or popping up another hardison body to be discovered per request tbh, i'm chilling. this is clearly a prime log to use to chip away at his sanity level, which is still pretty far up there rn.

[setthetone]

Siiince they're dead body buddies anyway I totally think there needs to be the long-awaited sequel

John Carter | ER

[setthetone]

Oh boy!

So Carter is going to dig himself out of some burnt rubble because he died in the fire. Any help would be appreciated. He's a noodle and probably stuck. Never mind the traumatized over coming back from the dead.

If you want him to find your body, lmk, that can be arranged! Carter also has Daemonophobia and if he sees anyone's body and then meets them in real life? Totally gonna think they're a spirit first and pretty much freak out. Maybe try and banish them. Badly.

Carter will find his own body, too, and it's going to mess him up because does that mean he is a spirit now, too?? Is that why he came back from the fire?? Should he banish himself?? He might try, tbh.

Don't know exactly where he'll be holed up yet. Probably the clinic in search for something familiar but if you want to take this disaster in, he's free for nabs as of now.

[sharker]

If you want, Parker can run into him and drag him (physically if necessary) off to the haunted movie theatre with the rest of the Leverage gang! Definitely an improvement over the empty clinic...right...

She could either find him in the rubble and help dig him out or find him later on!

[tinstar]

Day 79 is gonna be spent with Raylan trying to hunt down all the people he likes and cares about and nudge through the wreckage of Phillips Drive. I'd love for him to see someone's body! Otherwise he'll see his own. (might make him anyway, we'll see!)

Nights are tentatively set at the schoolhouse, though Raylan will be having a nightmare the first night that's dropping him some more sanity points and we may have a wanderer on our hands, which will be great for him seeing whatever oddness mathis has in store. (Posted up to proper form here.)

The search for any spared and tucked away Moonshine is on - the trend of looking like a lowkey addict continues.

I'm fluid and easy for the following days since it'll trend on what happens the day before!

[abrightboy]

MALCOLM'S BODY WILL BE IMPALED ON REBAR IN 1306 ON DAY 79. Would love for Raylan to find it.

Corpses! Get your Corpses!

[walkingtrigger]

I am going to be vibing it this log, so no specific plans.

That said! Anyone and everyone is welcome to find a Tim Corpse.

I have put in for Tim to find his corpse down in the tunnels under the Library. He plans to leave it where it lay, so I don't know if it is worth discovering again or not. All the other corpses/locations are up for grabs!

Re: Corpses! Get your Corpses!

[myfavoritemurder]

CLAIMING A TIM CORPSE; any one in particular you want me to go for?

Malcolm Bright | Prodigal Son

[abrightboy]

Malcolm is going to fuss over cowboys this log. Raylan's mental health is concerning him and Doc is injured. He is also going to go looking for supplies for the people staying in the school, since his mentor the supply gatherer is out of commission. He is going to be DEVASTATED when he discovers Neal is missing. He might go to the house Neal was painting his murals in and beat on the rubble with pieces of rubble.

He will then cling to his Philips family even harder. Sorry everyone, you will have a smol barnacle.

[nottevintersoldier]

Look, he's not officially family yet, but he will accept a barnacle in these trying times.

Bucky Barnes

[exsto]

STEVE'S HERE!

So yeah, he's going to be sticking rather close to his best friend who doesn't come from the same canon point as him BUT THAT'S OKAY. He's also available to find corpses, though I haven't decided yet whether he will find his own (which are also available for others to find).

I am definitely hoping to get him out to do some exploring with either Daisy or Steve or both? Maybe other people?

He's wide open otherwise.

Re: Bucky Barnes

[just_akidfrombrooklyn]

Sounds good to me. Exploring seems on track, many questions, finding corpses.

(Gosh I hope Steve doesn't find Bucky's corpse D:)

Callisto | Xena: Warrior Princess

[myfavoritemurder]

BROADLY:

Callisto @ everyone: "Look at me, I'm miserable! I'm really upset! Notice how upset I am! Pay attention to me!"

Also Callisto @ everyone: "DON'T TRY TO COMFORT ME, I HATE IT, I HATE YOU"

SPECIFICALLY:

She's definitely going to find her own corpse and react, uhhhhhh, weirdly. I'm also up for others finding another version of her corpse as well, or for her finding other people; I have a couple options up for grabs here!

Additionally, she'll be dealing with a generalized fear of the darkness/night through until 082, which the nighttime spookiness will not help with.

Dorian Pavus | Dragon Age: Inquisition TW: description of burn wounds.

[nottevintersoldier]

Dorian's going to be laid up this log considering the extensive burns he suffered from the fire before Athena and Jeff pulled him out of there and to safety. He'll be holed up at the School House where he was taken so anyone is welcome to stop by for a visit and check on him. He's a big baby and I don't think he'd get up to move around too much when it's only been a few days. He would have drunk one of his potions to help mitigate some of the damage to his person, but will still have wounds, scabbing, etc to deal with and a lot of pain.

His left leg got the worst of it and the living fire practically pounced on his back, so it's mostly across one side, up a part of his arm. It's likely due to being saved and his potion that it's not as bad as it could have been, he will recover and have scars. But in the meantime, it'll be hard to move/walk/do normal things considering the widespread damage. Though Carter had been around to help, thank goodness a healer/doctor was there.

ANYWAY idk what my plan is yet. I'd love to thread out people coming to see him though! Maybe he'll try to sweet talk people into bringing him books to read or help him with things. The big spoiled baby.

Also, of course, he will hide his trauma with his usual charm after a time, but if someone catches him unawares they might see him staring off or being unusually quiet at first. ETC

OH and he'll obviously be asking after Athena and Jeff, so if anyone wants to break the news about them to him.

Edit: Now with Dorian Corpse options

[etovosts]

Clearly these two will have to run into each other again! Fedyor's spending his nights with his Grisha-gang at the bookstore, so he can certainly bring some books by for Dorian to pass the time. He can also try some of his heartrender skills to help Dorian out if needed, too. His healing is so-so and minimal but he's got a variety of talents that might be useful, lmaooo

Also, if you want Fedyor to find a Dorian Corpse, I'm down for that, too. Maybe Day 81, since they met at the beach and all.

elena gilbert

[descendent]

i'm planning on taking it easy for this log bc rl pandemic situation is getting a little crazy for me, so i'll be focusing on just a handful of things and backtagging.

elena's got two corpses, one that's kind of up for grabs. i want her to discover this one and am happy to have someone stumble upon her when she does find it. she'll be dragging that body back into the lake after a failed attempt to try and dig a grave. elena had a near-death drowning experience a few years ago where she lost her parents to a car accident that crashed into a lake, so it's perfect for her to find that body. :) it's going to be a little traumatising for her to see her body in such a state. (the other one will be discovered by elijah.)

she'll be staying at the clinic and antique store with elijah for the next three days and dealing with the fact her place of stay is now... burned to ash. happy to have her touch base with people during the day or the evening before retiring to bed.

i'm planning on putting up a tl for whoever wants to find her trying to deal with her corpse and fling myself to others for other everyday or post-spooky things.

[liliowy]

may I volunteer as tribute to stumbling upon elena trying to drag her own corpse into the water :,)

The Darkling | Shadow and Bone

[skladka]

I don't have solid dates but I have a few plans!

The Darkling is very much still dealing with his madness, hypnophobia, fear of sleep or being hypnotized. He hasn't slept much if at all and that lack of sleep is going to affect him. Really interested in either CR seeing more of his true self shine through since he won't nearly be as composed, or new CR to meet him in his extremely agitated tired state. Maybe try to shake him out of it. He's having a bad one, folks.

He has one corpse to discover on day 79, and I am totally open and would love for him to find someone else's! Maybe catch him finding his other corpse?

The Darkling, Fedyor and Alina will be holding Grishaverse camp somewhere either in the antique shop or benedict's books!

Re: The Darkling | Shadow and Bone

[tinstar]

/slides in

Yes hello dark man i think we need to smush them together, feel free to find one of his bodies and he's not doing the best either lets toss some uneven boys at each other

Fedyor Kaminsky // Grishaverse

[etovosts]

Fedyor and the Grisha Gang will be hunkering down at Benedict's Books for the stretch of the log.

Beyond that, I'm pretty open. Fedyor doesn't really know anyone yet but if you want him to run into a corpse of your character, that's the sort of CR starter I'm here for. He'll also offer his assistance to anyone that might need it - he can do some minor healing for external and internal wounds, but being a heartrender means he can also alter emotions so if you need help calming down or cheering up or anything, he's here for that. He can also try and help people deal a bit with their madnesses, even if it stretches him a bit thin and wears him out.

He'll be finding Dorian's corpse on Day 80.

I likely won't be doing any corpses of Fedyor unless someone would like one!

[chuju]

Would Fedyor be up for healing one Daisy "quaked too much and hurt myself" Johnson? She's going to bury her own corpse with her powers and overdo it a little. (She also has another corpse up for grabs, if you're interested.)

Alina Starkov

[darkestlights]

Bouncing back into things now that my hiatus is done. Alina will be camping out in Benedict Books with Kirigan and Fedyor. I will have her wandering around though, looking for people to help - so if anyone needs a very mobile flashlight, let me know.

Other than that, I don't really have any plans other than her possibly finding a corpse or two. A corpse for Alina will be available upon request. She might go check out the shapes in the water, try and shine some literal light to help figure that out. Also, if anyone needs or wants books, she will probably be carrying a few around trying to get them into people's hands for safekeeping in case shit gets wrecked further.

We shall see what consequences come from camping out in the bookstore, if any.

[nottevintersoldier]

Dorian will happily take any and all book donations! He's going to be laid up a while and considering the fire came VERY CLOSE to destroying the library and such he will horde books where he can. He'll be glad someone cares about the books.

daisy johnson

[chuju]

A week late due to mod things and then vacation, but oh well.

Daisy is sheltering at the Bed & Breakfast with Bucky and Steve for the duration. She's going to be firmly indoors with every single light on at night thanks to suffering from a fear of darkness, but she'll be out and around what's left of the town during daylight hours.

If anyone is interested, she's going to be:

— searching the rubble of her house for a particular item of great personal value
— finding her own corpse, looting it for gear, and then burying it in the graveyard with her powers (and overdoing it, oops)
— watching those weird shapes in the water next to what used to be the Grey Gull
— finding Bucky's corpse and having an Emotional reaction (of the not crying variety)
— breaking mirrors wherever she goes because she's suffering from that madness too

I, unfortunately, need to drop most of my old threads due to them being very old and sadly untouched for ages thanks to my being in a not great place RP-wise the past few months. If anyone would like to continue something, though, just let me know and I'll get a response to you asap! (I may have also lost a notif or two, who even knows these days.)

[abrightboy]

I'm down for him helping her search her rubble (maybe by coming across her there on his way back from Neal's on Day 80) or finding her breaking mirrors or some combination thereof.
