MORE PLOT. LET'S DO THIS THING.


Tomorrow a post will be made to spectavi -- a broadcast like the previous news anchor posts, in which all electronics (communicators, radios, even unplugged or broken televisions) will be briefly hijacked in order to deliver a message -- detailing the situation and the demands of the creatures holding your friends' bodies hostage.

There is something the doubles have that the corpsenappers want. Something in their torsos, located where the human liver would be. In order to have your real friends revived, you'll have to take down the doubles. Killing them is the easiest option if you have no qualms with it. After all, these things did kill your friends. They deserve it, right? Keep thinking that and you'll forget that you're murdering sentient creatures trying to defend themselves. Or, if you're feeling particularly merciful, you could try to spare their life by performing impromptu surgery. Try being the operative word. It's not easy to cut a struggling person open. And once your done, then what? You'll have a dying creature either trying to kill you or trying to flee with wounds.

Probably easiest to just kill them. Either way, the "mafia" won't particularly care as long as they get what they want. And they want it within 48 hours (ICly) after they broadcast.

Dig in past the black veins carrying pseudo-blood and hollow organs and you'll find... metal. A round, flattened piece of metal. Looks kinda like an oversized coin.

Now you're starting to wonder if you've just killed or mutilated someone wearing a familiar face for profit. Whatever they need that metal for, at least now you'll have some payment to get your real friend back. Leave your "donations" in the rotting collection box in the church. Should you wait around to try to jump the debt collector... well, there's always a need for more skin.

But what happens if the one of the doubles escapes with their coin?

Your pal (the one the double was impersonating) will still be revived, don't worry. But for every coin that's failed to be retrieved, the corpsenappers will send a warning: lacing the original body with toxins so that when characters are brought back to life, they'll be sick and in agony for about three days. It will feel like barbs have been placed between muscles, every movement causing a spike of pain; a fever will give them chills, likely causing involuntary spasms to incite this pain; vomiting, diarrhea, and mucus in the lungs will certainly make life a living hell. Luckily after the three days of torment are over, they'll be put on the road to recovery.

As for the corpsenappers, as soon as they're paid, they'll be out of your hair. They'll even set up a nice little perimeter around Discedo to ensure the safety of anyone staying there.

After all, they might call upon you again in the future.


As a reminder, the teleporters will be turned on after the broadcast and shall stay on until the event ends. After that they will be shut off and stand idle until further notice.

HMD will be postponed until next week on Friday the 26th. We apologize for the delay.

And lastly, if you have any questions/comments/concerns about the new mod situation or anything else in Discedo, you can feel free to IM any of us or post to the concerns & inquiries page.

On a personal note, I'll try to get to all questions about the plot (and plotting) ASAP! Work has kinda been running me ragged with great danes and diabetic cats, so I'm liable to pass out early. You can direct most questions to Cat and Ash, and anything else I'll get to as soon as I can! /bluh bluh my job oh my god I have to go back to the demon cats tomorrow kill me.

EDIT: IC broadcast is now up!

I'm sorry hon, getting used to this job's killer. I don't think I've been this exhausted since like. Idk. Band camp in high school.

though the exhaustion hasn't quite gotten that bad yet.

have your feet ever hurt so badly that all it feels like is that you're walking on a solid layer of pain and overuse

that's band camp

also running laps

but I digress

also you need your rest anyway :(

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

;mmmmm;

fine france can fall sick and england will care for him EVEN THOUGH HE JUST KILLED HIM though actually that might help him a little who knows

but is france coming to dissumulo or what

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

I don't know maybe

after he reads that convo between England and Germany he'll probably try to fuck off somewhere and end up in that city

oh that icon is so cute ;3;

AND AWESOME THEN because then france can be like "bitch don't leave ALSO WHAT HAPPENED ;A;"

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

well i kinda want England to stay there because he needs to be around for michelangelo and luke's angst WHY NOT THROW A FROG INTO THE MIX TOO it'd be easier for me anyway ENGLAND SHALL BE SURROUNDED BY ANGST

ikr

.... desssiiiiii i miss youu ;m; baka

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

ANGST and then cute, oui? ;3; france is going to see his 'ganger's talk with Germany on the network and then ask England what happened with that s-sob. which isn't cute but. he's going to be like "I FEEL SO UNCLEAN AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I GO BACK? THAT ASSHOLE DOESN'T OWN ME." and then England can tell him to stop prattling on and hugs can be had and more cute then ;w;

it's okaaay 8( I have Wednesday off at least! also I'll be back from work around 5 my time, my shift ends at 4:30. Dunno how tired I'll be though, this is my first double.

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

F-fft b-baka. Yeaaah and that means France and America and England will actually be together now. You can join England in being kept awake by America and Tatsumi. idk where he'll sleep though. Knowing France he might ask to join them


Um Um i don't think I'm doing anything on Wednesday... Thursday I get my exam results.... Saturday--Tuesday I'm going to a a conference thingy

idk. I dun think anything is happening on Wednesday...

RIGHT. So. So. How is France going to get his arse over to Dissumulo, then?

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

he'll ask to join them and when that doesn't work out he'll stage a French invasion of England's bed. And then pass out. NATIONS SHARE BEDS ALL THE TIME...

though when he's sick he'll probably just crash wherever anyone lets him. The couch, someone's bed, the bathroom floor, etc. and then he'll want to go back to Discedo sob but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it :(

OH OKAY. Yeah I'll be working Monday and Tuesday but from 4-8... guh it sucks 'cause I hate not being able to do much with most people in the evenings unless I stay up late, and then I sleep late and have work when I get up and aaahhhh

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

Sob why does he want to go to discedo DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE ENGLAND.

And England will probably let him crash in his bed. They've probably done it before BUT IN MORE INNOCENT WAYS THAN EVERYONE WILL BE LED TO BELIEVE... but he'll grumble and complain but yeah whatever and especially when he's sick he'll surprisingly... not complain. Mainly because he'll be a little traumatised himself but but yeah.

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

HE HAS HIS NEW HOUSE THERE AND THE LADYNATIONS TO LOOK AFTER AND HE BLAMES CANADA LEAVING ON HIM GETTING STUCK AWAY FROM SPERO

he'll move back briefly so Nika and I can do our plot and then after that... idk he'll probably want to get as far away from Germany as possible

awwwww Iggy ;3; HE'LL JUST PASS OUT ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR, YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY IN BED WITH A SICK FROG DO YOU

[spiffingtea.livejournal.com]

.... whaaaat plooot. OH THE KILLING THINGY?! Germany could always come hereeee...

sob england is so alone right now not that he'll admit that stfu

.... HE LOOKED AFTER HIM AFTER WWI STFU HE CAN DEAL WITH FRANCE Hopefully France is too ill to remember England tending to him like a mother he'll probably sit by the beside and put a cold flannel on his head and all that stuff NO ONE SHALL EVER KNOW unless someone leaves their communicator on.

butyeah

also i'm slightly loopy i've never fallen ill in august what is up with that i blame spain

[crotchroses.livejournal.com]

noooo it's gotta be in Disc ;3; COME VISIT HIM IN THE HOSPITAL WHILE HE'S well actually he'll probably be refusing to eat for a bit out of sheer stubbornness. Can you let him do that to himself Arthur, can you

LOLOL he'll remember he's been worse off 8||||| he'll just... pretend he doesn't remember and then bring it up just to embarrass England. *3*
