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.)]

"Hey Ino?" Leda said, looking around, trying to take everything in at once. The fact that she did not use her nickname for her spoke to the Elf girl's consternation. "Any idea what happened?"

//Leda.//

Ino's silent voice was tightly controlled.

//None. There doesn't seem to be anything worse than dogs at the moment, however.//

And the air, which was it's own problem.

Okay Leda could do that. She'd communicated silently with Karla after all.

//I thought for a minute I'd been sent back to Bordertown in the past again. But it never smelled like this I don't think. It also doesn't quite look like it.//

She was very relieved that she wasn't the only one here as well.

ps, sorry for sp. rl's got me.

Ino's eyes crinkled up in what was almost a smile.

//You can talk,// she pointed out. //I can hear that just fine. And... no. I don't think it's anywhere any of us have been.//

"Gotcha. But somehow quieter communication seems appropriate."

//As you wish,// Ino said, //though there's been nothing but dogs so far. They're vicious, but just--dogs.//

Leda frowned. She hoped she wouldn't need to hurt any dogs. She liked dogs. But also because she wondered if there was a reason Ino was only speaking this way?

"You okay?"
intraspective: (pretty armband)

//It's the air,// Ino explained. //I... do really badly with severely contaminated air. If I talk this way, I have to open my mouth less.//

Which reduced the rate of coughing which left her marginally better off than she would have been otherwise.

Leda winced. She wasn't fond of it herself.

//Good plan.//
