A new show on the block [Active]

[masterfulflames.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Hades and party goers! A handful of natives, and later a crapton of Neoshadows.
Content: After the Doctor gets back from his trip to the church.
Setting: Ceu de Mouraria
Time: Evening; Week 2
Warnings: None at the moment. Will probably be later |D

OOC note (UPDATED): Okay, so, Hades has made his official introduction. Anyone that still wants to join is stuck outside (I’d like to think I gave folk plenty of time to join if they really wanted); characters can try to find a way in, but any doors are sealed shut and darkness is sort of flowing from them. Outside the main doors is a pair of panicky natives. Poor Paixaoans. Or whatever we call them.

Anyone who is still inside, you can’t get out until Hades is satisfied just like people can’t get in. The ones who are more the ‘lighthearted’ and ‘good’ guys are obviously the ones getting more attention from the Heartless. Though if others join in to attack than hey, fair game. Unless you reek of darkness and more powerful than them *cough*Rozalin*cough* Neoshadows are more intelligent, after all. omg and they suck to fight, dammit CoM!

What can I say? Hades wanted a coliseum :| So I gave him one. :D;; Even if this isn’t quite the same. But ICly he has a goal in mind. *shrugs*

You can respond to Hades’ post, or start new comment chains. Whichever is… easiest.


Ceu de Mouraria seemed to be the perfect place to hold a party – at least, that was how Hades found it. All he really wanted was the space; the more guests, the better, eh? And by the sounds of things… he was attracting a decent turnout. He wondered how many of them really knew the event as a ‘trap’ and how many were just too damn naïve to keep up with the times. Either way, he didn’t mind too much, as long as they came.

Courtesy of the ever lovely and fascinating (oh, how she proved the easily changing allegiances people could have) Rosemary, secretary to Paixao’s former mayor, he enlisted more ‘help’ from the citizens that already worked at the opera house. They were the ones who stood outside, welcoming guests within – smiles and youthful faces as always – and moved around the inner parts of the venue offering drinks (alcoholic, of course) and small finger-food from a local café. Really, Hades might actually owe Rosemary a thanks or two.

And if asked about the drinks, whether or not they were poisonous, any of the citizens were willing to take a drink of one just to prove their safety. Hades wasn’t about to kill anyone, after all. He would play the ‘good’ host at least for now; let as many people in as possible, then make his grand appearance and let the real show begin.

He could hardly maintain his excitement.

Jazzy music filled the building, circling around and filtering out to welcome guests to the inside…

Lara nodded, pursing her lips at the memory of her friend, in pain because of the noise. "I'm glad for that," she said softly. "Next time I'll be more careful." Why, yes, Lara was planning on going back to that church - she wouldn't give up until the mystery was solved. It was what she did, after all. Even so, Lara wasn't about to assume that either of her companions wanted to go back to that place. If she had to go alone, she'd do it, again and again.

"I'm afraid I haven't," the Englishwoman replied, her brow wrinkling a bit, "but I've brought insurance along in case anything goes awry." She said this quietly, of course, and gave no indication as to what that "insurance" was - her purse was one that, because of its shape, gave off the illusion that it was too small to hold any weapons. "LEt's hope things go smoothly, shall we?"

"Whoa, whoa, hold the phone!" Sonic made the "time out" motion with his hands. "Lara, that ain't your fault an' you know it." It had been a heck of a painful accident, sure, but it was an accident nonetheless. "We're just gonna have to find another way to get rid of the monster is all."

Sonic had a pretty good idea just what Lara's "insurance" was, but there was no reason for him to say it if she was keeping it on the down-low. "I doubt things'll go smooth with that guy runnin' the show."

Of course it had been Lara's fault, at least partially. Her eagerness had a tendency to get her into trouble, and her relentless pursuit of knowledge only served to exacerbate said troubles. "Well," she said, I'm certain there's some way to defeat it. I'm going to do some research after the party and see what I can come up with." She would also be going to the library to see if she could find any other information.

"I do, too," replied Lara, her voice remaining low so as not to attract undue attention. "Sonic, what do you know about our host?" It was best to be prepared at all times.
