Desires and dreams and powers


CRASH LANDING

Exit one dimension, enter the next. It was chaos: pressure against your ears, light bending in an impossible, unimaginable way. The very molecules of your body vibrating against one another. If you have windows, the view outside makes no sense. Even if not, your hands, your face, your feet seem like an uncertain thing. It's the feel of reality itself tearing apart, reshaping, reconnecting, thread by thread.

And suddenly, there's a beach— or ocean, whichever you land in. Smoke. Fire. Salt water churning up, fizzing around, almost at odds with the thinning layer of snowmelt over everything.


Maybe you crash, in a ship wrecking into sand. Maybe you merely stumble out of a portal, a ragged wormhole in space. Or maybe you fall off the back of an incredible steed, some creature that carried you into this place. Either way, there's pandemonium around you. Incredibly, severe injuries are far and few between— nobody's screaming about the dead. But you might have to help pull someone free of wreckage, or move quickly to salvage burning belongings from the landing craft. Maybe it's the crafts themselves, that you're trying to salvage.

Likely, you don't know them, these other strangers who arrived here[1]. Maybe you don't trust them— you just came out of a dying world, after all. But you all have one thing in common: you're here now.

When you get a second to breathe, maybe you'll see it. The winter-browned forest across the sand. Beyond that, the glint of a faraway city.
Power Problems

Your first week in Xistentia[2] is punctuated by power outages. It seems ironic, considering the city's street lights gather emotional energy and nothing bugs people out like electrical blackouts! But there you go. Fortunately, your daemons don't completely stop functioning; however, they do get oddly slow and sleepy.

Maybe you'll be in the streets, handing out candles and flashlights. Or maybe you revel in the darkness, curled up around someone you care for. Sometimes, the other senses seem to get stronger in the dark; you could hear a lover's heartbeat going like a drum, or speak stories through the walls with your neighbors.

But the next moment, your powers go on the fritz, absurd and unexpected. One moment, you might be carrying a cup of coffee brewed at a cafe that utilizes a pyrokinesis in these dark times; the next moment, the cup is floating out of your hand with newfound telekinesis, and snow is blowing out of the coffee shop doorway. Powers might be reversed or nullified, or even amplified.

But maybe once you recover from the shock, you can have some fun with it.



Just watch out for accidental animal telepaths and their Disney Princess squirrel trains.
NETWORK

Xistentia now has its own 'friending app.' You can use it to make connections with new people! But beware, your daemon may well post without your permission, and things could get pretty embarrassing.

F.A.T.E.S. thought it was a pretty good pun: Synchr. Get it? Like sinker? Hook, line, and?

Kevin Keller | Riverdale

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-25 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
A. Crash

Kevin had been busy running through the woods and keeping to his usual routine. There was always a danger to that, he knew, but it'd rarely deterred him since there weren't all that many options in Riverdale for him.

This night, there is apparently some danger, something starts to go wrong and he's suddenly being ripped from his reality. He wasn't sure what could possibly be happening, his mind running a mile a minute of worst case scenarios but he feels no less clear when he finds himself on a beach, smelling salt air because of the nearby water and smoke that burns his nostrils and eyes with it's acridity.

"What in the world?" Kevin said and not particularly that quietly as he turns in a slow circle and takes in the wreckage around him. He's still in running shorts and a tank top but maybe he'd run into a tree somehow and hit his head and was currently in an injury induced nightmare.

B. Synchr

Well this isn't all that new. I like going on runs in the woods, a good drink and various other interesting activities, all of which are better discussed in person as most things.


YES
NO

[After being violently ripped from his reality, Bardock gritted his teeth and pulled himself up from a soft beach of some sort and blinked, most likely checking around for something or someone.

His scouter began to read off symbols and frowned "A human?"

But oddly, something was different. The scouter was actually stating more than that, words of some sort as if the computer device was ... talking to him? What the heck?!"

Bardock frowned as he walked forward with some strange foreign alien armor and eyed the other man with a grunt "You know where this place is?"

how often do you run?
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x11-35)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 01:25 am (UTC)(link)


I try to run at least once a day.
shadowblends: (❧ articulate)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
that's a good habit to have.
do you track time or miles or do you just run?
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x3-160)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
I do both. What about you? Do you as well?
shadowblends: (❧ infiltration)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
usually, i just run, but i've started timing myself. [for reasons.]
would you like to go together sometime?
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x4-94)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
That would be great.

[ nevermind that going for runs in Riverdale had more often than not been for random hookups in the woods. ]
shadowblends: (❧ you have my attention)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[offhandedly, kurt wonders if it'd be too forward to ask. he's taken chances before — courtesy of rosie and her advice — that have ended all right, so what's the harm?]

what about now?
if you aren't busy, that is.


[random hooking up certainly isn't on this blue kid's mind, though.]
thekevinthwonder: (pic#12114494)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Why not? It's nice enough out.

[ Kevin's not so presumptuous. ]
shadowblends: (❧ teamwork)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[oh. well, that's a pleasant surprise!]

it certainly is.
excellent! meet me on the beach?
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x11-109)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
See you there.
shadowblends: (❧ reflective)

text --> action;

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[kurt sees no reason to reply to the text; they've already decided on a meeting place and he'll easily be spotted.

along the edge of beach he paces, absentmindedly dipping the toe of his boot in when the water laps far enough up. he spares a glance out across the sea, head tilting one way then the opposite direction. maybe it'd been right to question his impulsiveness, how far more willing he'd become when it came to meeting new people.

or maybe, everything is totally the same and he's being ridiculous.

either way, while the blue boy traipses about through the sand, he watches from his peripheral, waiting for kevin to arrive.]
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x3-63)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kevin hasn't met all that many new people here just yet and he's always eager to make new friends or at least have a pulse at what is going on in his surroundings and that isn't much different than it had been back home now that he's in this new place. Perhaps having a finger to the pulse here is even more important than it had been in Riverview. Both had their dangers, though.

He shows up on the beach not long after the last message had been sent and there's not a whole lot of people on it so it's easy to spot the person he's meeting. He doesn't say anything about his appearance -- he's not that rude, as he comes up to him. ]


Hello.
shadowblends: lookit this freaking dweeb (❧ playful)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[oddly enough, nightcrawler's grown used to people not questioning his appearance. things are different on xistentia, even more so than earth back in his own homeworld. some places have come to terms better than others, but here, everyone looks at him like he's ... normal.

it helps when you have a good personality to counteract the demonic look.

he can hear the footsteps before the greeting, though waits until kevin says hello to turn and face him. reaching with both hands, he flips back the hood of his coat, fangs bared in a wide grin.]
Hello! Wow, that didn't take long at all. [he lowers one hand, offers the other out to shake.] Nice to meet you, Kevin. My name is Kurt.
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x9-61)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-26 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ The fangs are weird and Kevin does a doubletake but again, doesn't say anything yet. ]

I'm fast enough. [ Kevin smiles and reaches to take his hand in a quick handshake. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Kurt.
shadowblends: (❧ copacetic)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-02-26 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[hopefully, kevin becomes accustomed to fangs because he isn't the only one with them. there are quite a few vampires floating around that he's sure to meet when exploring the town.

he shakes the hand in his own then withdraws, motioning with the same limb toward the trees.]

Sorry, we've already reached our limit on charity cases, you'll have to find another multiverse.

And why don't you tell them what you're really doing on those runs, hm?
thekevinthwonder: (Default)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-28 02:17 am (UTC)(link)


I'm starting to realize that. Care to elaborate, though?

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-02-28 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kevin has yet to meet any vampires that he knows of and well he wouldn't be in a hurry to do so if he knew. But all the same that's of no matter at the current moment as he looks to the trees with a slow smile. ]

Let's go. Are we timing?

it was weird.

[personal profile] shadowblends 2018-03-01 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think that's necessary. We can just— [he stops, gazing out across the trees.] Run.

[this is a casual sort of thing. kurt sees no reason for them to worry about something as superfluous as time while they get to know one another. he gestures by jerking his head then takes off, settling on a more human-like run with some extra pep, glancing from his peripheral since he has a good feeling kevin should be able to keep up.]
thekevinthwonder: (easycompany-riverdale2x3-160)

[personal profile] thekevinthwonder 2018-03-02 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Now, I would have paid to see that.
