Arrival Mingle

Who: Everyone.
What: The Chosen return or arrival in the City.
When: July 1st.
Where: The Districts of the City.
Anything Else? Feel free to make your own arrivals, or throw an arrival starter here! The party is open to all. As a reminder, language barriers are not an issue in the Tower.

The City hadn't changed at all in its time without the chosen. If anything, The City seemed a little dusty. The Chosen would find themselves waking in their assigned homes. Even if they were returning and had other homes. They would wake in their chosen home. For the most part, anyway, a few chosen had special ways of arriving.

The assigned housing varied depending on the district they were assigned according to their sin. However, everyone had a box, a welcome package awaiting them upon waking. Inside the box was an extra invitation inviting them to the tower if they so decided to come visit upon arrival.

The city was once again bustling with life. Cars, demons, and the people of the City moving as if time had never stopped. Business as usual for the returning Chosen.


The Tower

While it was not Aiden's district, he had talked the Duchess into opening up the ballroom, and Skiffell to provide food, that just didn't seem to end. The grand ballroom was filled with many delectable dishes, and a small band of demons playing big band music in the corner.

The doors were propped open with the music drifting out to help lull the chosen who decided to attend. A handwritten poster board outside the open doors displaying 'Welcome Chosen!' with about 10 smiley faces drawn on it. While normally parties at the tower demanded fancy dress, Aiden throwing a party meant that rule would not be abided. He didn't dig out the fancy threads for anyone. This was a different kind of party, put together by the lord of Leisurebrook.

While Aiden didn't plan to reveal himself as a magistrate, he did love to mingle with people and hear their stories. So he was there. He was napping at a round table off in a corner, his messy brown hair spilled over his crossed arms as he napped as if he didn't have a care in the world.

The artist follows the finger before looking who it was attached to and hummed a note of interest, stepping over to steal a few on to her plate before turning back and paying the proper attention that she should. Devi blinks those big green eyes and barks out a short laugh, leaning forward with the sound only to catch herself with a passing expression of 'oh shit' and straightening back up.

"Peter Maximoff, hot damn." She sidles back up to her previous spot and takes a bite. "You always did have good taste in snacks." It didn't matter if he remembered her or not. She'd play it off if he didn't, not delve too far in if he did.

"You think there's anythin' funny in 'em?"

“It's been that for me, a new start, so I definitely hope it's that for you.” Sure, there were bumps along the way, but, shit happens?

“It was blast. And you better be, because I'm holding you to that.” Another smile crosses her lips as she spins out of the dance, her pleated skirt swishing around her legs. She points to her eyes and then to him, and gives him her classic fingerguns.

He can't help an awkward smile, but he nods. "Count on it." It was only after the finger guns that he finally turns to go find a place to sit again for a while. He would call sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

Harley Quinn | OTA

[personal profile] revmeup 2023-07-04 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
For a party without a dress code, Harley still manages to somehow be overdressed and underdressed in a red tulle ballgown that's ripped to hell and paired with a pair of sturdy combat boots. The whole outfit is still stained with ash, blood, and alien goo. It wouldn't be her first choice for first impressions, but it's kind of her only option at the moment and well. No one can say it isn't a lewk.

She splits her time between the extravagant buffet and the dance floor, stuffing her face because she doesn't know when her next meal will be, and dancing her heart out because she doesn't know the next time she'll get to do that either. The music isn't really her thing, so she's dancing out of time with it, moving to the music in her head instead. She's always been a "beat of her own drum" kinda gal.

He definitely wouldn't mind 'hands on' at this point. If someone could just point him in the direction of something he's supposed to shoot at, he'd feel a lot more in control of this situation.

"Okay... so... close to human but genetically slightly different? Like, uh, cavemen kind of?" He's trying so hard, you have no idea.

He takes a little too long to answer her question and then ends up letting out a sigh. The answer was obviously 'no'.

"You mentioned science experiments gone wrong. it's kind of like that, but these experiments went exactly like they were supposed to and turned bodies into weapons. Biological warfare. That's how it started anyway. Then it evolved into being able to be applied to the living. People aren't really people anymore after they're infected," He pauses, seeming to go somewhere else for a moment before blinking and continuing, "Most people aren't people anymore. They lose their sentience, can be controlled, or are just instinct.

Other than that. Yeah, humans."

Yeah, maybe. [Vehemently disagrees, actually, because what the actual fuck is this city, even, but he won't say that at this moment.] Might be the nowhere city for kidnapped people might be a little bit worse.

[Okay, Stark.]

Wouldn't you know it, I left my attache case of guns in my other jacket. [Or his quiver of trick arrows, potayto potahto.] Can I help you with something?

[Fewer vampires. But she decides now isn't the time to open that particular Pandora's Box.

Still figuring out the rules. At least, until she breaks them.]


The story I hear is that it's the megaverse nexus of several Einstein-Rosen bridges.

[personal profile] brandingproblem 2023-07-04 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Shit, really? Are they perpetually active, or only so far as to rope people in? ['Megaverse' might be the thing that he doesn't really understand, but he knows a Bifrost when he hears it.] The amount of energy that's gotta produce must be off the charts; someone out there has to know where this is. For a given definition of 'where', I s'pose.

Michael might have an unusual appearance to some people, but Peter thinks nothing of it. Not when he knows three people who are blue, one of whom also has claws and a tail, and that's to say nothing of Scott's red eye beam and Peter's own superhuman speed. He's not even really sure what "normal" is anymore.

He does stop eating now that someone is talking to him, though.

"They don't have good taste then."
silversneakers: (look up)

works for me

[personal profile] silversneakers 2023-07-04 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
He considers this for a moment, then shrugs. "Yeah." It seems pretty par for the course with Magistrate-sponsored events around here. Not that the Magistrates would ever admit it.

He points at something wrapped in flaky pastry. "Those. Absolutely the best."

His lips quirk into a smile when she recognizes him -- that's one thing out of the way. "Not that I've noticed." Though it would probably metabolize out of his system before he'd even notice. "It wouldn't surprise me if there was though."

[ She laughs. ]

Not really, I just picked a rooftop to chill on and have a hard time resisting being sarcastically hilarious.

[ She's honest, at least. She figures she owes an introduction, though - a real one. ]

Hi, I'm Lorna Dane, sometimes known as Polaris.

“Yeah, something like that. Everything a human is, but with genetically-gifted powers - or appearance. This green hair did not come from dye from Hot Topic.”

Her eyebrows raise at his explanation. “So someone decided, hey why not desecrate corpses For Science, and then somehow make it even worse?” That sounds, well, horrifying, to her. To not know who might be next, or to live in that torture. “Any chance there's a vaccine or prevention for that?”

“I'm about to go grab some, then. If the party's gonna be creepy, I'm going to eat something in the process at least.”

She gives a half smile again.

“And hopefully nothing funky in them, either.”

He's a bit surprised when someone walks up to him and just starts talking, but a quick look in her direction shows no trace of anger or fear, which can happen when a Muggle witnesses magic use. Though perhaps he'd been a bit rash in using it anyway, although at this point he doesn't much care what the Ministry thinks about anything.

"It's a simple levitation charm."

Oh, you got a codename. Lemmie guess, [he doesn't have to guess] you didn't exactly take the stairs to get up here. You fly?

"Good plan." He's always one for free food, even when offered at creepy parties.

"I haven't noticed anything." But with his metabolism, the effects might be gone almost as fast as they're apparent.

Yep. Magnetism is a hell of a hack. Do you fly too? [ it's a slightly reasonable assumption? ]

“Good enough for me. Let's go raid the snacks and drinks again. You probably need a refill soon anyway.” She teases slightly.

“I guess kinda speaking of, how do you manage in a place like this? Being confined to one city might be maddening enough for people who can't zip across the world in no time, but.” But for him it's gotta feel like a smaller box. Concern shows in her tone.

[Hey, someone who speaks her language. That's a pleasant surprise.

Something inside of her lights up, just a little bit.]


As far as I can tell, they aren't perpetual. Still working on a pattern other than "activates at random with no discernable target."

[She doesn't really believe in random.]

And some people have experienced them before.

Simple. Levitation. Charm. Three words that really didn't belong in a sentence together. Sam was aware of magic, as a thing that existed. Mostly shit that the Crones and the Lance did with their blood. It wouldn't even surprise her if somehow they had spells for levitation. That said...

One, this dude was not a vampire.

Two, as far as she could tell, there had been no blood involved.

Three. He had a wand. A wand. Neither the Crones nor the Lance would be caught dead with that shit. They'd be laughed right out of their covenants, as far as she knew. So her questions were multiplying. Fast.

"Okay," she said slowly, the gears turning behind her eyes. "What's being charmed, the food or the gravity around it?"

He sees her from across the room. He approaches hesitantly, not assuming he's welcome. Does she even remember him? This place always did mess with time and memories. She doesn't look up as she asks the question, but he doesn't assume it's not directed at him.

"I'm not much for pastries."

Maybe she remembers he always brought them home for her.

Erik steps into the party and glances around. Mostly, he's interested in knowing who else is back. He's never loved a party.

He moves through the crowd, clocking familiar faces, noting them, waiting to see if they recognize him....

The lack of reaction was really making him feel better about this world. While he shouldn't be too shocking back home, he was a bit infamous back in his world as a vampire murderer. But, he always assumes it's how he looks, a far cry from the man he had once been. He had once seen Scott's beams aimed at him, but not the same Scott that Peter knew, of course.

"Clearly not, but I am told everyone feels that way as they get older." He mused a little, he was in his 30's so, of course, he judged some music, but not heavily. "I'm Michael, by the way. New here too?"
