Silent Hill - Day 1 - Day Post

Morning in Silent Hill, West Virginia, doesn't change from day to day. It's always gray, it's always dusty, it's always -- wait for it -- silent.

Time stands still in Silent Hill. It's the seventies forever, from the rusted cars abandoned along the Nathan Avenue main drag, to the Charleton Heston double feature on the billboard outside the Rialto, to the dust-obscured Gordon Lightfoot poster in the window of the record shop.

No one's lived here for the last thirty years, except those few abandoned pets and police dogs that were strong enough to survive on their own, to breed and run wild. No one even visits except for the occasional check-in by the county police, a couple of search and rescue missions over the decades, a photographer or two.

Nothing changes. Nothing ever will.

Except.

Except if nothing ever changes, then why, as the dim light spreads through town, are there sixteen strangers lying in the middle of the road?


[OOC: OPEN! Warning, many icons, links, and...pretty much the entire adventure will be understandably squicky. Welcome to horrorland! (Today, though, the place looks normal, just abandoned and fire-damaged. There's no ash falling yet.)]

"Hm ♥?" asked Shunsui, head tilting and frowning slightly at the girl. He hoped she didn't have a concussion and that's why she asked odd questions that didn't make sense. "Are you sure? It might help you feel a bit better ♥. Nerves are no good at a time like this ♥."

She hoped she didn't have a concussion too. "I'm...sure." Of that, at least. Francine was just smart enough to know how much more not smart she got when booze was involved. ...And she had Merlin to testify to that if she needed back up.

"I'd rather have a clear head. But, um. Thank you, Mister...?" Mister guy she'd never met before but who had to be from Fandom.

"I'd be truly surprised," said Shunsui, lifting an eyebrow, "if this tiny little sip did anything more than relax you a little, which I think we could all stand to do, considering, but suit yourself ♥. More for the others. And my name is Shunsui Kyōraku. What might yours be ♥?"

Francine mouthed that after him in the certain knowledge that if she ever tried to say it aloud she would screw it up beyond redemption, then gave him a polite if worried, smile. "I'm Francine. Peters. Are you one of the new teachers?"

"No ♥," said Shunsui, chuckling lightly, which sounded odd given the current circumstances, but, at the same time, he was glad that he did. "I'm a new business owner. Turtle & Canary ♥! I'm confident that it's at least being better run that this general store ♥."

His level of cheerfulness ought to have been odd, yes, but it settled Francine a bit, without the need for sake at all. Not enough for her to rise to her own usual levels of bounce, but at least she found it in her to laugh.

The coughing fit that followed was less settling, granted. "I'd love to be there right now, that's for sure."
