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.)]

"Perfect targets for anything. Just because we don't see any threats doesn't mean there are none." She said in a tone that said it was obvious. Azula raised her arm palm up. "And, yes, it would get us out of this ash."

//With any luck, I'll be able to find myself a pair of shoes,// Jono sighed. //Bloody hole pulled me right out of my bed.//

This was something that he was not exactly pleased about, no. And paying attention to his current state of shoelessness was one of those small distractions that wasn't going to get him home, but it did give him something to pay attention to beyond the fact that he had no idea where he was in the first place.

"So, you were also brought here by an unnatural darkness?" She said. "I also fell through in one of those things."

//From out of nowhere,// Jono agreed. //I'd say that there wasn't any warning about it at all, but the entire island was practically screaming yesterday. Everything was off.//

He winced a little, and then started picking his way across the pavement.

//It doesn't feel any better here, for that matter.//

"If you say so," Azula looked around. "I don't have any sense for the supernatural but I believe you about this place being off."

//It probably doesn't take telepathic powers to be able to tell that there's something th'matter, here,// Jonothon pointed out, shaking his head. //Something has happened here, that much is obvious. I don't like it.//

"The people in this town fled and yet they left their vehicles," she noted.

//Which makes no sense,// stressed Jono, eyebrows furrowing. //People who want to get out that quickly take the quickest way. And they clog up traffic and get nowhere fast, doing so in a panic. If their cars are still here, that suggests that... maybe they never left.//

He liked that thought even less. But, given the quality of the air, if the ashes had been severe enough whenever the fires had started, it stood to reason that perhaps people had simply suffocated in it while they slept.

"That's the prospect I don't like. If some survived whatever befell here... they might not be welcoming."

//I have difficulty believing that anybody could survive this for long, luv.//

He didn't even breathe and he could smell it.
