February Open Log
blue moon
So the people within the Sphere City miss the moon. At least, that’s what someone can draw from the fact that as January slips into February, large images of the moon are everywhere. The Full moon, to be more specific. There are silver streamers around the merchant dome, and lights have been modified to have a more silver than golden glow in appearance, even at all hours of the day there. Sure it makes things a bit difficult to see, but that’s not really a problem is it?

At night, several domes have large projections of the moon made against the domes. They’re pictures of the moon in varying states of artistic and scientific values. There's a kind of dreamy music that’s played, and a lot of the locals have silver flowers in their hair. Fire pits are common, and older residents are seated around them, telling tales of the moon and its connection to the waters above them. Some stories tell how it glows and shines or is made of green cheese. They also tell how sometimes there were people in the moon, men or women, gods or goddesses, or animals like rabbits. And some stories tell of how the moon would make people mad, and that’s where the term lunacy comes from.

Oh, and there are a few stories about werewolves too. And about how there walking among the people in the Sphere. Even now.

Food at the festival is based around the moon too, or at least the idea of the moon. There’s mooncake of course, but there’s also moon pies, half moon cheese pies, and pierogi, and various cheese and cracker platters, because the moon is made of green cheese after all. There’s moon-based cocktails, that are blue and silver. And some that are shimmering and shining.

People can draw fortunes from the moonwell, but, they’re silly and nonsensical, and people eat the silvery rice paper after they’re finished with them. A few of them however have more ominous sort of fortunes in them. Things like “help me” or “they’re out to get you” or “they’re coming and you can’t stop them.” People shrug those ones off too though. if someone asks about them.

what big eyes you have
So, there are rumors about werewolves that have been circulating around town, and people seem to be given red cloaks at random. Pretty girls and women are offered them the most, but they are open to anyone. If people put them on, which the surrounding locals will cheer and encourage them to do. Then they tell them that their clue is in their pockets and that they will save the town.

In the pockets is another silver disk with a list of names on it. One of those names is a werewolf. You’re given three clues (something like: ‘wearing a blue sweater’ or ‘bald man’ or ‘at the candy stall’) for each one, and then you either accuse them of being a werewolf or clear them. If you accuse them and you’re correct then you’re given a small vial with glowing stones in it and are told that they were actually pieces of the moon before it was lost. Whatever that means. You may want to hold onto them.

If you accuse them and you’re wrong, the game is over for you for the moment and the cloak is taken away. Each cloak has a different list of six names on it, and the names replenish every time someone gets a new cloak. Why yes, the Sphere is playing a game of werewolf with you. How the game goes entirely up to you, and whether or not your character gets invested or what. NPCs are definitely available for this if need be! Please feel free to go a little nuts with this, and player characters can definitely be one of the suspects if they're up for it.

something that was lost can be found.
It’s big news around Sphere City: some old lost and sealed domes have been found along the edges of town. Not only have they been found, but they’re open! Not only are they open but the stuff inside is there on a first come first serve basis. These old domes show no signs of dust, but there are some personal effects within them, pictures and the like. They definitely belonged to someone who had been pulled into the city at some point within the last seven years.

And they’re definitely worth checking out. One never knows one might find in them. Various varieties of clothing are available, as are books, food items (probably shouldn’t eat them), toys and there may or may not be some magical or important historical things hidden here or there if your character is very lucky. Mod note: Nothing world breaky or living can be found, but small things like potions or jewelry or amulets or small weapons (daggers or guns with a very limited amount of bullets.)

"We can find some, I believe I have some in my room or if you'd rather stay here, you can tell me one of those stories." She decided to leave it up to him, besides, it was better not to think too hard right now. Things in the Sphere were confusing.

"You have Sanct cards?"

Because normal playing cards will not do.

"No, perhaps I would rather tell you stories. Here or there."

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-02-23 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh? No. I only have normal playing cards." Oh well, I guess they wouldn't be playing that game. "Maybe one day when we have them then." She'd really like to learn to play.

Wanda smiled. "Alright but which would you prefer? I only have whiskey at my apartment."

"I don't mind whiskey. It's a drink that burns in all the right ways going down," he purrs. Yes, he'll flirt with Wanda until the cows come home. So to speak.
minus1twin: (Okay Scott)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-02-24 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Wanda laughed and shook her head as if she couldn't believe him. "That is why I like it. Alright. We'll head back to my place and you can tell me those stories of yours." She slid off her chair and waited for him to join her.

She wouldn't say it but she was enjoying being flirted with. She'd been single for awhile and while her heart was healing from losing Vision, it was nice to feel desired. Maybe one day she'll even fall for someone again. She doubted that it would be Rhy but it was still nice.

Consider him practice flirting then. He stands, finishing his drink quickly. And then he smiles, offering his arm out to her.

"Allow me to escort you then, sweet Wanda."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-02-26 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanda follows his lead.

She finishes her drink, stands and takes his arm. "Thank you. Do you know where I live Rhy?" Her voice was light and teasing, mirth glimmering in her mist green eyes.

"No, but I feel that learning where you do would be quite amusing for us both," he offers back, adding an extra purr and twist of accent to his voice before starting them away from the bar.

"It would. It would at least help us get there." Wanda smiled at him as she guided him towards her room. She didn't think that she'd see Ultron but they could always relax in her room to stay out of the large metal mans way.

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-02-28 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, his reaction to a giant metal man might well be amusing. He'd probably assume somehow it was his father's fault.

"Easy travel has always been something I have been a fan of, so yes, I think the helping would be appreciated."
minus1twin: (I am listening)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
She laughed and lead him back to her room. She kept up the chatter until they got to her dome, where she quickly checked to see if Ultron was in his room. "It looks like we have the place to ourselves for right now. My roommate doesn't mind company but he can be grumpy." Ultron was weird and hard to explain.

Wanda walked over to the kitchen and grabbed two glasses and the bottle of whiskey she kept in her room.

Ah yes, the whiskey. Rhy takes a glass and pours some drinks. And then when he finds a nice chair he settles down into it. And he smiles.

"Now this is more comfortable, Wanda."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanda settled onto the couch, her filled glance balanced on her knee as she met Rhy's gaze with a warm smile. This was nicer than being at the bar, if only because it was easier to speak and private.

"I think so too. Now," She took a sip and leaned forward. "You were going to tell me a story."
unbreakable_king: Sendhil Ramamurthy in Heroes (Default)

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, I most definitely was. But one must wonder which story to tell you. I knew a lovely lady pirate who saved the world. Or the story of Black London. Or an Antari mage that fought as near a god as there seems to be."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Those both sound interesting. I've met god's before but I don't know anything about Pirates. How about we start there?" She would love to hear what they are like, more so from Rhy's world.
unbreakable_king: Sendhil Ramamurthy in Heroes (Default)

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, Lila Bard," Rhy smiles, sitting back in the seat and taking a sip of his drink. "Which isn't quite accurate to call her a pirate. She started as a thief in Gray London, a world without magic. Truly, there was no way she ever should have been able to reach Red."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh? How did she?" Wanda sat back, completely enraptured by Rhy's story.

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, the walls between worlds are firm now. One can only pass through them by meeting certain regulations. First, they must have a token of the world they are moving to, the next down the line. Red and Gray are close to each other. And she was with my brother, plenty of tokens there. And the other thing is the power of an Antari blood mage."

Which Kell was. And it turned out she was.

"She followed him home, like a lost puppy, this little woman who was a thief in London. And proceeded to crash my birthday party."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"I see. She sounds like a very interesting person." She paused and then considered his words. "I don't know if you mentioned your brother. Is he younger or older? I have a twin." Who she missed like crazy.

"She sounds like my kind of woman."
unbreakable_king: Sendhil Ramamurthy in Heroes (Default)

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
His brother is awkward. Rhy sighs.

"Older. By a year. He's adopted. And he's the sanity that I rarely bring into situations. The better half I suppose."
minus1twin: (Still young)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know about that. I like this half." She smiled at him. "At least so far."
unbreakable_king: Sendhil Ramamurthy in Heroes (Default)

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Rhy laughs, shaking his head.

And then he considers the woman, shaking his head.

"She broke into my party. But to do so she needed clothes. But she didn't steal. The flamboyant woman just walked into a stall of a woman who made clothes and convinced her she needed them to seduce my brother!"
minus1twin: (Huh?)

[personal profile] minus1twin 2020-03-09 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanda was very amused by this story, more so the more she sipped at the whiskey in her hand.

"Oh? She sounds talented. Did she manage to seduce your brother?" Wanda wasn't sure if it was good or bad but it was at least interesting.

[personal profile] unbreakable_king 2020-03-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"It took many, Many months, a spine of steel, and quite a few misadventures," Rhy assures her, and takes a sip of whiskey. Time to launch into the story in whole.
