problem-solving on the Plane

[Meredith appears. She makes her announcement without stalling.]

Your friends have changed. There is one certain way to save them. Those who die will return to what they were.

[Does that make you angry? Too bad. The hooded figure has already vanished.]

[identity profile] onperfectlips.livejournal.com 2011-10-14 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
No! There must be another way!

[identity profile] anoblesavage.livejournal.com 2011-10-14 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I would rather kill the one who has changed our friends in the first place.

[identity profile] promisedsomeone.livejournal.com 2011-10-14 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Guess who else is here. As usual, there's that splash of crimson on his arm.]

Even an uncertain way is still a chance. I'm going to the shop. [He turns away sharply.] Don't do anything stupid.
grip_on_reality: (Ohh)

[Menzies scowls] That would be the answer, wouldn't it? But dead isn't exactly "what they were," is it? Like death is some sort of temporary inconvenience. [she scoffs]

Gwen-san ...

Someone you know?

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You've heard about the machine oil blood?

[Look who is back in the Plane.]
grip_on_reality: (Attitude)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[she raises an eyebrow] I've heard the machine "runs on blood," whatever that means. What's this oil blood, then?

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I got told that people who've died here end up with blood that smells and looks like machine oil by two different people.
grip_on_reality: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...people who've died? Come back? [well, that explains Meredith's offer, at least]

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Death's not supposed to work like that, is it?

grip_on_reality: (Ohh)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in my experience, no. This is starting to sound like something right out of a zombie film! So if one of us dies, we come back with oil blood, but nobody wants to destroy everything around them anymore. [she sneers] Doesn't sound like much of an offer to me. [it sounds manipulative, more than anything]

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Conan was hoping he was making the right decision telling Menzies that.]

I don't think it's an offer at all.

grip_on_reality: (Eager)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[she nods. the pieces are starting to fall together now] They get something out of us dying. Otherwise, why set this up?

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems like a theme. That's how it happened to one of the people I talked to. The people in charge made everyone fight.

And then there's the deaths in our worlds too.
grip_on_reality: (Intent)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So, "the machine runs on blood"--literally. [her expression darkens] The question is, what do we do about it?

[identity profile] onperfectlips.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Morgana. Morgana has been ... [She shook her head, sickened by the thought.] We have to save her!

They're telling us to murder our friends.

I'm coming with you. [He needed a voice of reason.]

First step -- making sure that no one dies.

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Morgana --

[The girl in the woods -- her clothes were something like Gwen's?]

Tall, black haired, using magic to destroy the forest?
grip_on_reality: (Eyes Closed)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [she sighs] Which unfortunately for me means staying well away from you lot. [as frustrating as that is. she really hopes no one's stupid enough to kill any of the others--or to get themselves killed trying]

Do you know if anyone's been able to incapacitate any of the raging maniacs yet?

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been avoiding coming to the Plane as much as possible, so I'm lucky that I caught Sault-san's announcement at all.
grip_on_reality: (Explaining)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-15 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[actually, that's a relief to hear, even if she does wish she had more information about what's going on--or that she could investigate it herself]

Good idea. I'll spread the word to anyone I see, but there's no point in you looking for trouble. The psychopaths aren't going to listen to us anyway.

[she's not sure if he'll heed that advice, but she certainly isn't willing to encourage a kid to run around trying to stop people from killing each other]

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
While I'm here -- I've been thinking. You'll have realised the celphones don't work when we're not both in our worlds, but you can contact me by the post. Do you need anything? Supplies, that sort of thing?
grip_on_reality: (Curious)

[personal profile] grip_on_reality 2011-10-16 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, worked that one out for meself.

[she's surprised by the offer, though] Ah, no. But thanks. Seems like this place has got everything, if you know where to look. I'm not exactly in danger of starving.

But you've been in your world--has anybody else gone missing?

[identity profile] holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
No new disappearances but forensics reported back. Everyone who died was found within an hour of their death, hands severed by something that acted like a giant tooth; large amounts of dopamine in their systems.

No one can explain it.
