(OPEN) COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD @ STARTER BASE

[shuckit]

▶ WHO: Everyone!!
▶ DATE: July 9th 2015
▶ WARNINGS: none thus far
▶ SUMMARY: A place to share your ic infos, if you please! Thomas is a freaking busy body, and he wants to get all the clues about this place gathered up, so he's going to start writing stuff he's found/woke up with onto a wall in one of the labs, and leave notes around the compound for others to do the same.



[ in one of the lab rooms, you'll find a message (possibly with more messages) scrawled on one of the walls (literally ON TO it, with either pen or a marker). it reads: ]



[ because thomas is super good about being specific. and communicative. but basically, that's what he's posting here - notes. clues, useful information, curious things - information. the advantage the gladers had in getting out of the maze was that they were united, and cooperating for the same goal. thomas doesn't know anyone here, and only has maybe two pieces of what's a much larger puzzle. he needs the rest.

so, around the compound, you'll find scraps of paper that have been taped or pinned to walls (or written directly onto them) that read in the same handwriting: ]

SEE LAB ROOM [[ ROOM NUMBER HERE ]] FOR INFO

IF YOU FOUND SOMETHING, WRITE IT DOWN

[ again, he is awesome at being verbose. if your character decides to investigate the room, they'll find thomas's notes already pinned or written onto the wall, plus whatever is left in the comments below. thomas himself will likely be around more often than not, reading things, scrawling stuff of paper, looking contemplative, or being passed the fuck out in a corner, if they want to bug him. ]


[[ ooc; okay so thomas is a nut, and also i thought we could use an icly set up means for characters to share the clues they woke up with/stuff they found/whatever other information about stuff going down. if you want, put up a top level for the actual note your dude/dudette is leaving, and idk people can tag into it if they want to seek your character out and bug them? or write notes under the note you left? idefk, let's do stuff, go wild???


PS, IF YOU WANT THE TL;DR VERSION OF THIS, i tried organizing an IC list that Thomas would have made over here. It's not perfect, so don't consider that like end all be all, but thought it might help. ]]

Comments

an hour later.

[ in even sloppier ancient greek lbr: ]

Where are you? Found syringes. Dropping them off at the lab.

- Percy Jackson

[parleur]

[ in greek again! an hour after that!]

I'll be by [ insert room number here ] . Waiting for you.

- Piper

[untactful]

[ annnnnd after he finishes up with the whole lab thing, he draws a little party hat on the pegasus on his way to meet piper. ]

[parleur]

[ she'll be waiting for him, hands smoothing over her shirt, fingering the tiny hole that's at the hem of it with a frown. when she looks up to see him, well, yeah, he's getting a hug because strange place and all that. and while they might be the closest, they're close enough.

and it's so good to see a familiar face.]

[untactful]

[ opening the door to an armful of piper mclean isn't such a bad thing, all things considering. percy lets out a huff of a laugh, more out of surprise than actual happiness. he is happy to see her, but the setting could be a lot better. ]

Gods, it's good to see you. You're not hurt, right? [ because this place is weird and percy isn't a huge fan of it already. ]

[parleur]

[ he gets a firm squeeze of a hug before she pulls back to look at him, about to ask the very same question.] I'm okay. Freaked out but... okay. [ she'd woken up to the sounds of screaming.] I thought I heard... it's been kind of awful. You're okay, right? You look okay.

[untactful]

Yeah, I'm— fine. I'm good. Just trying to... you know. [ punctuated with a vague wave of his hand, but he lets out a breath. percy hit the ground running, at least. so long as he can keep busy, he won't have to really analyze this. ( that's never been his strong suit, anyway. ) ]

But what'd you hear?

[parleur]

[ she flinches a bit when he asks, her eyes lowering for a moment as she wrings her hands together.] I heard screaming. But it sounded like... I thought it sounded like Leo and Jason and Annabeth, all of them screaming at the same time.

[untactful]

Hey— [ it comes out a little guilty despite aiming for reassuring, but he reaches out anyway, places a hand on hers. it sounds awful, honestly. frowning, he presses his lips together to suppress as much of the expression as he can. ]

Well, Annabeth is here, so she's okay. We're okay too, y'know? Well, we're gonna be okay. Jason and Leo might be kicking around here, too.

[parleur]

[ she nods quickly, fighting back any emotion that tries to well up. her eyes close for a moment as she takes in an evening breath, trying to smile.] Yeah, maybe. [ she looks up, trying to look hopeful too.] Annabeth is really here?

[untactful]

[ it's slow-going, but it's progress. percy will take it. one corner of his lips quirks and he nods. ]

Yeah, she is. I caught up with her in the Med Bay. She, uh. She built a splint for her ankle. She's always handy like that. [ see? it's okay. they're going to be okay. he pulls his hand back finally, tries for a grin for her. ]

If they're here, we'll find them. I promise.

[parleur]

Okay. [ piper glanced at him.] Do you want to get back to her? I mean... I can go wait by the message board, just in case they find it. [ honestly, she didn't want to hold still, she wanted to keep looking.] I just... I'd rather be looking for them but maybe it's better if we setup a basecamp. A Camp Halfblood meet up place.

[untactful]

[ as much as percy doesn't really want to split up again, she's got a point. ]

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. [ wait. ] The basecamp, I mean. I'll swing by the board on my way back to Annabeth and leave a note about a meeting place. More people might see your notes and try to catch you here, so maybe stick close to your room. It seems like this is the general area we're all waking up in, anyway. There might still be time.

[parleur]

[ she nods at his plan.] Maybe agree to try to meet back every other hour? [ gods, she wishes there was some other form of communication. she'd even risk a cellphone at this point.] I'll stay around here. I have my knife. [ she knows how to fight if she has to and if not... she can try to charm them into leaving her alone.]
