I need first-hand reports on what you're experiencing. This many new arrivals, is this common?

Look, new people, I understand you're disoriented, but don't just go walking into buildings and apartments. Not everyone here reacts well to surprises.

03 November 2012 @ 08:10 am
[Natasha is, and has been sitting at a bench in the park, hidden in the shadows, and watching, since the early hours of the morning. Sleep has been difficult, the guilt she carries with her all the time weighs heavier since she's been here.

She'd already gone for a run, and worked out a little. Funny thing about insomnia; you have more time to do everything, which leaves you with more time to think about the things you don't want to. Which is why she's here. To think.

Her hand comes up to rub her brows, her eyes closed. James...No Bucky. He's at the front of her thoughts and she...She's doesn't want to think about him. She doesn't want to think about ways to avoid talking to him. She doesn't want to think about how heavy all of this sits and how much it hurts.

The sigh that leaves her lips, is tired. Exhausted really. She's spent too much time thinking about these things, things she can't do anything about. It's time to move on. She'll go for a walk, clear her head. Start today with the resolve that she's done letting circumstances she can't change weigh her down, she carries enough as it is.

She stands, and starts on her walk back to her room, she's lucky she does have friends, even if they really aren't her friends, but friends of a version of her that they know. It makes it easier for most of them. And in turn, perhaps a bit easier for her. Barton, gave her a room, he's been a good friend, just like he always has been, despite the...way she treated him.

With an irritated sound she stops, shaking her head. No! Not this Barton, this Barton...she hasn't done those things to...his memories of her are happy ones. She has to remember that. She starts walking again, angry with herself for not putting up walls. For not drawing lines in the sand to distinguish the people here from the ones she knows. She's having to start entire relationships over, and that's not easy.

She's distracted, much more distracted than she'd ever like to admit, when she comes upon the the crowd of people. Standing still she blinks, head tilted. Immediately tense. There are... way too many people here. Green eyes wide with surprise, for the first time this week her thoughts are cleared. Blissful silence in her head, to contrast the buzz of voices in the space in front of her.]


What the hell?

[He's in a better mood than normal -- not that that's saying much, given that his normal mood vacillates somewhere between dour and downright irritated -- and he's gone for a walk, cigarette in hand, enjoying the quiet.

Until, of course, he starts to realize that there's far more people here than there should be. Either he's been incredibly unobservant and not noticed these people before -- unlikely, as his rampant paranoia means he's noticed most people in the City during his time here -- or there has been a sudden influx of people.

He looks suspiciously at the first person who walks by him, taking a long drag on his cigarette, holding the smoke in his lungs for a long time before exhaling. If he blows smoke on that hapless visitor, well, can he really be blamed?]

The extra money would be nice, yes?

A breach in the City's barrier?

[ He's noticed this population-influx in past Network entries. Tourists. Some leave with the weekend, taking Citizens with them. Others stay behind -- semi-replacements. A law of equivalent exchange -- something gained for something lost? ]

[ He doesn't know. ]

[ He's caught between observing the phenomenon up-close, or retreating Underground. But parsing his separate threads of choice, he decides to stay Topside. To, for once, maximize instead of satisfice. There might be familiar faces. There might be outsiders with answers. He wants to learn more about the City. He wants out. ]

[ And solving any problem is predicated on understanding it completely. ]

It's really crowded today, isn't it? [ Li sits in a bustling little caff, enjoying breakfast. He slices into the strawberries with a fork. The juice runs out, dark-red, like blood. He smiles at his device -- calculated, a perfect mix of innocence and sweetness. ] It almost reminds me of rush-hour in Tokyo. But hopefully there's no need for train-tetris or pushmen. It's sort of a Fact Of Life back home. But not everyone here would enjoy that, would they? [ He skates the strawberry around with his fork. Bites into it neatly. ] I wonder how many of these visitors have been here before...?

If you get lost, a good point to find other people is the Fountain. You'll only be here a couple of days, so don't worry about food or drink - most of the City opens up for this, so apartments and hotels are available, although you'll find a lot of the citizenry friendly.

Try to keep the peace. The police force will be out to help if there's any trouble, but can we keep that to a minimum?

It seems the tourists are back again today--this really is becoming something of a tradition. How amusing that it would fall so close to the halfway point of my 'anniversary' of coming into the City. Five and a half years and perhaps the only constants have been the Clock, the Carousel, and these periodic invasions.

It's rather like bad weather or any of the curses: it's going to happen, sooner or later.

But I'm in no humour for this ordeal this time.

Nor am I especially holding out hope that anyone I should like to see will appear. I'd almost rather they didn't anymore.

If you think you need me, you really don't. Send a message if matters are pressing. If the cafe is desperate for my help, send for me, but I'd like to avoid being trampled for as long as I can. I may be going out, but only in desperation.

Why anyone would visit the City, I shall never understand.

~C.

[ooc: Cain is still moping after the circus ordeal. But hit him. Hit him hard. Anything that really unsettles him will either be written off as the ravings of a lunatic or fade from memory after the curse. (And, just as a side note, so everyone knows what I mean by that, Cain is from Volume 5 [North American numbering] of Godchild.) I'd prefer it if he not get spoiled on his own ending, but he can also just forget what anyone tells him.]

03 November 2012 @ 11:04 am
[When video opens, it's because the device has been thrown, and turned on as is its wont. Luke is wrestling with a frankly enormous wolf. Sometimes he manages to scruff it, and push its head down, or tumble sideways and get it onto its back, but mostly the wolf seems to have the upper hand. They're snarling at each other as they wrestle: at one point, the wolf grabs Luke by his shirt and starts shaking him, but Luke rips the shirt away and tackles the wolf once more.

This goes on for about a minute until finally, the wolf knocks Luke down and pins him with one big paw on his chest, forcing him down with his entire weight. Luke goes oof, there's a pause, and then Luke is laughing. The wolf leans down and licks him across his entire face.]

Blaaaugh! [Luke wipes his face with one sleeve and pats the wolf's paw with the other. It lifts it up and steps aside, and Luke rolls onto his front, pushes up to his feet, gives the wolf a cheerful scritch about the ears, and then heads over to pick up his device.]

Oh. [He notices it's on.] Today is good, isn't it? I really am fond of today. What a terribly good curse.

[As the wolf comes over to shove his big head under Luke's arm, Luke shuts off the video.]

These are always my favorite days, and I think maybe, right now this is just the kind of thing we need.

It's a nice day, and if we've got visitors it means there's not a curse. I think maybe I won't open the store-- unless anyone really wants to visit it, I mean-- and just spend the day out.

And of course, for all of you who're only here for a day or two-- I hope you enjoy your stay.

[ Bucky hates jogging.

It seems kind of pointless, running around with no real purpose at hand. It just reminds him of cramped boot camps, of men training to be soldiers in sunny little towns when the reality had been nothing like that. So he's not the biggest fan, and since coming here he's put it off. Sure, he keeps his aim strong, still works out but he doesn't exactly stick to a regime.

Right now though, that's precisely what he's doing. If it isn't clearing his head, it's keeping him from focusing on anything beyond breathing and the thump of his feet against the ground. He doesn't have any of the flashy kit some joggers seem to have either, lucky enough to find faded green in the stores, trainers that have seen better days, nothing too futuristic, nothing out of his time. It makes him feel more at home. Anyway, who needs to have a heart rate monitor when you can hear it in your eardrums?

But the one thing that does temper his jogging ability is crowds. He hadn't noticed until he'd come up to the park, and then it's pretty much clear.
] Awh hell, again?

[ Jogging on the spot for a second. The place is over run with people he doesn't recognise and it's a pretty big clue that it's one of those weekends. ]

The last time, it was summer--June, I think, the end of June or so, because Edmund was gone and I was still trying to sort out the Blue Light and all--and now it's autumn and everyone's come back again. That's how it goes, you know, in seasons. Once in the summer, once in the winter, once in the fall or spring, but not often both. Sometimes it happens on Halloween, even--I remember there was once when everyone came, and that was the silver lining to an awful October, getting to see everyone and...

It's just, one does this enough and one grows to expect...well.

Edmund, are you here? Please, I hope you are--and Blue, if you are too, I'd...and I know Alexander was here last, and sometimes Mother comes, and Daddy, and...

Um.

That is, it's very nice to see all of you visiting today, both the people that have come back and the ones that are here for the first time. Just as before, we'll have the Blue Light open late tonight and tomorrow, for anyone to come and sit and have something to eat and visit awhile, and that's where I'll be should anyone come looking for me.

And if you're here, too, you awful dog, you keep away from me--you haven't gotten me yet, and I won't let you, I won't--


[OOC: As per usual, she's canonically from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder.

HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

[ Clint's not planning on admitting to it any time soon, but the conversation he had with Phil recently about everything that happened before either of them arrived here has been weighing on him a little, and he knows that he's not been the best person to be around lately. Well, less so than usual, at least, and that's when he's not been going off alone.

So he's up earlier than he's been used to, dressed, and out walking Fury around the streets of the City, a take-out cup of coffee in hand. It's not that he doesn't often walk their dog, but he doesn't usually do it quite so early, especially not on a weekend, and this way Phil gets to sleep in without Fury barking for attention and waking up the whole building.

Sometimes he's slow on the uptake when it comes to personal things, better at shrugging them off than dealing with them, but Clint's finally settling into everything, thankful that he's been given chances he would never have had at home, and he's happy. He knows how lucky he is and he doesn't plan on taking it for granted.

He's in a good mood, even smiling outright without attempting to conceal it, and even the fact he's noticed that there are far more people out in the streets, the majority looking puzzled, which can only mean another long weekend of strangers flooding can't dampen his good spirits.

He should probably know by now that this amount of contentment can never last.

I realize that many consider it to be something that goes unsaid, when one's mind has been altered by the effects of a curse. Most do not feel that an apology is necessary. However, I can't in good conscience let this go unsaid.

I am immensely and sincerely sorry for my behavior during the circus' stay in the City. Using scientific knowledge or skill for such mindlessly cruel entertainment, designed for the purposes of financial gain and personal exploitation... I would never for a moment consider assisting in such an enterprise, were my wits my own. But, as they were not, I can only apologize. I can certainly understand if some have too great a difficulty in finding forgiveness, and I can only hope that I have not lost any friendships over the matter. There are few things I consider to be of greater value.

[That being said...]

I also realize that we again find ourselves with a number of guests; welcome to the City. If there are any familiar faces among the crowd [he can always hope], don't hesitate to make yourself known. Though, certainly, anyone is welcome to stop in and say hello.

I wanted to thank you, for both the cookies and the message. I can truthfully say that it meant a great deal to me, and came as no small relief, to know that you harbored no animosity.
