(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. ]]

BLUE stacked right back on

[expeditiously]

Greyhound dog is "pretty fast". Send him out there, the dead send back bones.

No need for dog bones, you say? Then I go.

RED >:(

[kleptos]

Lucky that I'm faster than a dog, huh? If we let you go, it'll end up with human bones. Just stick behind. Leave this to the faster ones, right? Don't get yourself in trouble.

BLUE >.<

[expeditiously]

I'm sorry, you were saying? I needed to make a quick run to town to find more blue notes. Red is just so ugly to my eyes.

R E D

[kleptos]

You should have mentioned you were colour blind. The ugly thing you're seeing is the blue, not red. Sorry, bro - maybe they'll make glasses for that one day.

ORANGE! (also jacking this ... im sorry)

[metaspeed]

Whoa, hey, I had no idea there were other speedsters here?

This is actually pretty great.

(Also race?)

red!! (cries @ barry)

[kleptos]

If by 'pretty great' you mean 'probably going to end up in a fist fight at worst, speed fight at best', then yeah, it totally is great.

(If you're okay woth losing, then yeah, I'd be down for that.)

orange post-it; ( i HAD TO i was alerted to it )

[metaspeed]

Why do we have to fight at all?

I'm totally okay with a little friendly competition.

(But we'll see who loses!

Spoiler: Won't be me.)

red — (i'm so glad you did. speedsters are the best)

[kleptos]

Hey, it's gross blue post-it note's fault that this even started in the first place. I was just being nice and offering my running to town services and he got all guard dog up in here. What a jerk.


(It's totally gonna be you though)

orange to the side; ( right? ain't no one better )

[metaspeed]

Well, I'm not going to get involved in this but I'm kind of curious about other speedsters. Like, how'd you get your powers?

[ And at the bottom, in tiny cap-letters: ]

(No way, not a chance.)

red underneath! (exactly B) )

[kleptos]

I was born with mine. How'd you get yours? And don't say you were born with them, because that has just become a boring answer. Don't be boring, man.

(Total chance. I've been speeding all my life.
Good luck beating that.)

orange beneath;

[metaspeed]

Opposite of boring, so you're in luck. I wasn't born with them. It was kind of an accident, actually.

[ Kind of because it was also a preordained accident. Caused by a guy who is 100% an evil sociopath. ]

(Oh, I'll try. And succeed. Don't you worry.)

red on top of ^

[kleptos]

How do you accidentally get superpowers? I thought that only happened in TV shows.

[ it's okay, peter gets it. the guy that is his dad and suspects he is his dad but neither of them have confirmed is his dad, is kind of a sociopath too. ]

(Hah. Good luck.)

orange on top;

[metaspeed]

Happens in real life too. I could tell you more later if you want. I don't really feel comfortable writing it all down on a post-it.

[ Yaaaay sociopath fathers-and-or-father-figures! Why is it always the crazy ones ... ]

red on top.

[kleptos]

Yeah, I get ya. And if we actually meet somewhere, we can have that race and confirm that I'm the fastest. And talk about powers and stuff too, I guess.

[ and on another post-it next to that one— ]

I've met other superpowered people too, so that's cool. Born with or somehow given another way, other people have different powers that aren't just being fast. This place is totally awesome, outside of the whole apocalypse thing.

GREEN POST IT ERMAHGERD

[shuckit]

YOU'RE BOTH FAST, STOP WASTING PAPER

written on his post-it

[kleptos]

sorry :(

same

[shuckit]

good

[ okay but he feels sort of bad now, so, adding this, on a new post it: ]

we need an android phone charger. first one to hollows and back with one gets to be called fastest.

Red post-it underneath

[kleptos]

I'm from 1973, so I'm gonna have to take a look around for this charger for you, but I'll find one somewhere. Where do you want it?

(also what's an android?? have you got a robot or something?)

green post it

[shuckit]

i'm from 2232, i don't know what it looks like, just that it's the brand we need. ask peter parker, or 'lydia'. just bring it back to this room.

(it's just a mobile phone brand, man. i didn't make it up.)

red, and a box.

[kleptos]

Talk about being worlds apart.

I'll find one. Should say somewhere on a box, or on the actual thing, what it's for. Should also be here next time you come back and check, so have fun with it. Or, let your friends have fun with it. Whatever.

(Damn.)

[ and, indeed, a box with various chargers inside has been left underneath the message, some of them for androids and some of them... well, even peter doesn't know what they're for. he doesn't know what an android is, okay? he wanted to cover all the bases.

and on the box is a note: Hope one of these is what you're looking for, green post-it guy/girl. Let me know if none of them work. I totally win. with an obnoxiously large smiley face drawn in whatever space is left underneath. ]

green, on the post it chain

[shuckit]

[ yeeessssss, ty peter, you're super helpful, bro. ]

thanks, man. you win.

added a bit later

[shuckit]

ps, are you silver peter or just a fan of silver? [ he needs to know for reasons. being a douche to spiderman reasons. ]

if former, congrats on being more useful peter

somehow placed victoriously underneath

[kleptos]

i'm silver peter. better than any other peter, which explains why i'm the more useful one

and thanks. feel free to rub this in brown peter's face as much as you like. i know i'm probably going to.

he can feel the victory

[shuckit]

planning to. thanks, better-peter. have fun.

peter's secondary mutation: others feeling his victory

[kleptos]

no problemo. & i'll try to and right back at you, man.
