Dec. 5th, 2023 05:15 pmapocalypsehowmodsWho: Nia Lehrer and You!
Username: n.lehrer
Warnings: compulsion/mind control
[It's a familiar face that appears on the off-worlders' private network; though, one that hasn't been seen around ADI headquarters in recent weeks. Nia Lehrer's eyes gaze into the camera as though trained upon the viewer, her expression as intense as ever. She's looking worse for wear with a halfway healed cut above one eye and the collar of her shirt bloodstained. It's hard to see much of the room from which she's broadcasting. The space is unlit apart from the light of the phone screen on her face, the rest of the room cloaked in shadow. There's just the vague impression of dingy plaster walls and a water-damaged ceiling.]
Hello, everyone. I know this is a little unusual, but I suggest you listen because this may be the most important thing any of us do here in this world– in Gloucester.
[She glances off-camera at something or someone, mouth tightening a little with some suppressed emotion before she gives a little nod. And then–]
You must come to the house at the center of Dogtown. Immediately.
[Her eyes seem fathomlessly black for a moment as those words drown out all other thought, seeping deep into almost every viewer's mind and taking hold of their hearts. There's something wrong here, something deeply wrong, but knowing that does not diminish the sudden inescapability of the order she's given. Those who have heard it and feel the power know with dread certainty that they will enter Dogtown as bidden to seek out the house at its center. And for those who are able to resist or who didn't see the broadcast? Those are people who must be brought. You must bring everyone with you into Dogtown.
Nia sits back and lets out a tired little sigh.]
There's a ritual brewing here, and we must destabilize it–or maybe the opposite, considering it's the Spiral behind all of this. I've found my way in, but I don't have enough manpower here; I need you to come join me so we can finish this. There's a safe path through Dogtown, just not a straight one. Follow the spiral, keep turning along with it whenever you brush up against the edges of what's safe. It'll bring you here, to the center. You'll have to get past the fence after that. Normal means won't work; you have to come at it sideways somehow.
You'll know more when you get here. There's too much to explain like this, but I'll tell you everything I can once you find me. Then we'll put an end to this together, once and for all. This is the big one. The last one.
[With another tight nod, she cuts the video feed. It seems, though, that her account is still active. Perhaps she'll remain long enough to answer a few questions.]

Log | Prelude to Shep Search
Nov. 29th, 2023 03:26 amwewillwewillWho: Elidibus and Rodney McKay
When: Sometime during the search for dangerhouse/fence. Vaguely end of November?
Where: ADI Apartments
Summary: Sheppard is supposed to be visiting Elidibus for therapy but he goes missing just when people are starting to worry about that whole Avatar thing. So Elidibus decides to go check in Rodney's metaphorical couch cushions before just assuming Shep's in Dogtown. (Also to recruit Rodney because how better to lure Shep out?)
Warnings: None forseen, will post on comments if anything comes up.
( Do you remember where you last put your Hunt Avatar? )

NETWORK - Voice - un: thecolepackage
Nov. 1st, 2023 12:20 pmapocalypsehownpcs[The voice that starts out speaking does not sound...right. Like it’s done with a filter on, distorting the sound into something neither inherently male nor inherently female. Something torn between, too close to the mic and too far away. Something that holds an underlayer of perpetual static.
It also sounds like they’re asking someone else something to start.]
Like this? Oh- as soon as I press the button? Cole-!
[There’s a pause and then a much more purposeful address.]
Offworlders, both those affiliated with ADI and otherwise, my name is… I am the Visionary...and I’m very worried about my friends. I’m worried about a lot, actually.
[She takes a breath as though to steady her voice, but it only helps so much, as by the end his words are more rushed, his worry pressing through.]
Several months ago, Reyes started… disappearing for long stretches of time. One time, they came back… pretty badly hurt. After that, Bonnie started going, too. To Dogtown. Now they’ve vanished. I haven’t heard from them or had any check-in at all, and I’m worried they might be hurt and alone- Please… I have a map. Something Reyes was working on, it looks like they started to find a safe path through.
[There’s a File linked that shows the distinct curving pattern of a path that loops in towards the heart of Dogtown. It’s not finished, but its spiral pattern is clear and not too difficult to extrapolate from for someone clever.]
Cole’s been helping me put what we have together, and I do know what it looks like. The path is a spiral and it’s… likely something to worry about. On top of the obvious cause, it’s not just there. The spiral’s been in… a lot lately.
[New links come through, news articles about M.C. Etcher’s art galleries, about his contributions to the museum in Buffalo a few months back, some videos of press releases where he and the late Zyrian Steele, previously of the Vast, can be seen tersely shaking hands are all shared. Etcher appears to be clothed in such a manner that all parts of him are covered, and his face and hair don't seem to be visible in anything. That hat brim is too large, the shadows too deep. The last file is a photo of the printed news article about the new miniature Gloucester when it was first announced.]
We’re pretty certain Mr. Etcher is an avatar of the Spiral, and he’s been putting his hands in things here for a while. Just as much as Steel, if maybe after him. Cole’s pretty sure one of his affiliates even traveled to Wolf Trap to help lead you all into getting rid of Steele. So, all that to say… I’m sorry, I know this is dangerous, the Spiral probably… wants you in there. I want you in there, but Cole and I want our friends back more… so, please, won’t you help us?

Oct. 26th, 2023 01:22 pmferriswheelsandfootball[John looks a lot different than he usually does. He’s sporting a pair of stylish, thick-rimmed glasses, but behind the glasses his eyes are very obviously golden and feline. His canine teeth are prominent, and he’s got what looks like actual fur scattering the sides of his jaw and in his hair. Even his attitude, his demeanor, his everything seems far more wild. There’s something decidedly feral about his soul, not just his appearance.
He’s simply stopped caring if people know he’s a Hunt Avatar.
He’s embraced it.
And now there’s a chase presented to him.]
We need to find that house in Dogtown Elidibus was talking about.
Like, probably sooner than later? I mean, I don’t know about you, but this sounds like the beginning of several horror movies. And while our lives have obviously become a horror movie, do we really need to add another one to the mix?
[Even his cadence is different. There’s still a drawl, but it’s a little snarly, a little animalistic. A little careless, a little like he’s just asking idly if someone wants to head over to the beach for the afternoon.]
