billie’s  lips  curled  into  a  slow,  teasing  smile.  “the  deputy…  needing  me  to  save  the  day?  now that’s  not  something  you  see  every  day,”  she  mused,  her  fingers  lightly  tracing  the  rim  of  her  cup,  almost  as  if  she  were  weighing  the  situation.

she  leaned  in  just  enough  to  get  his  attention,  her  voice  dipping  into  something  playful,  laced  with  a  bit  of  a  challenge.  "tell  you  what,  i’ll  step  in  and  save  the  day  tonight,"  she  said,  her  eyes  locking  onto  his  for  a  brief  moment.  "i’ll  even  let  you  take  all  the  credit,  sir."

then,  with  a  grin,  she  added,  “but…  i’ll  be  needing  a  favour  in  return.  maybe  one  of  those  ‘get-out-of-jail-free  cards’  you’ve  got  stashed  away  for  a  rainy  day.”  she  lifted  her  cup,  her  smile  mischievous,  offering  a  playful  wink.  “so,  what  do  you  say?  deal…  or  should  i  just  leave  you  to  wrestle  with  that  disaster  on  your  own?”

open to all. colony house party.

Adam was neither high nor drunk enough to process the conversation in his right ear, so he nodded politely, sipping on cheap booze and scooting away inch by inch trying not to be noticed. As. a last resort he turned to the person to his left, adamant not to lose his hard-earned seat at the couch (secured by arriving entirely too early) and pleased. "Please talk about something, anything at fucking all before I knock this dude out --"

PLOT DROP 02.

The darkness creeps in the air, a sensation of impeding doom following the massacre that rolled in with the storm. There is a growing need now amongst the residents of Oblitus, a need for hope, for ease, for laughter. And what better way to aspire for all, than to attend the annual Halloween party at Colony House. And while the party will, no doubt, be different this year, with more new faces, louder atmosphere to drown out the screeches from the outside, it is sure to bring on some much needed relief. So take out your finest garments, your tastiest treats and head over to Colony House before the night rolls in. Oh and do make sure not to open the door for any trick-or-treaters....for you might just end up a treat.

OOC: Welcome to our second plot drop and the most fun party Oblitus can get!

Note to all: Halloween Party is an old tradition dating back for as long as the residents can remember. Every year, the whole town gathers at the Colony House to enjoy the night of music, games and laughter. It is a tradition reserved to mock the town and its many horrors, while also ensuring everyone is safe and sound and most importantly -- not alone. During this night, the monsters that usually roam the town are unable to assume their human form, so they are seen around in their real form, and their powers of allure and persuasion are at an all-time-high. This is why, in preparation for the party, the windows are blacked out entirely, and residents are forbidden from peaking through.

Our Halloween event will be taking place from Friday, November 1st (6pm EST) through to following Tuesday, November 5th.

We encourage everyone to put their current threads on pause during the event!

billie  cracked  the  door  open,  spotting  daehyun  and  the  papers  in  his  hand.  “hey,”  she  said,  leaning  against  the  doorframe,  arms  crossed.  “what’s  with  the  papers?  if  this  is  an  intervention,  i  promise  i’m  fine…  mostly.”  she  gave  him  a  playful  grin,  raising  an  eyebrow.  she  nudged  the  door  open  a  bit  wider,  just  enough  to  leave  the  next  move  up  to  him.

making  a  house  call  to  ensure  someone  was  doing  okay  after  all  that  had  happened  wasn't  rare  for  daehyun.  even  though  he  was  still  feeling  quite  upset  over  everything  that  had  happened,  it  didn't  mean  he  couldn't  ensure  the  newcomers  he  had  housed  during  the  storm  were  okay.  with  a  light  knock  at  the  door,  daehyun  stepped  back,  clutching  a  couple  of carefully rolled  up  papers  in  hand  as  he  hoped  at  least  one  of  the  siblings  were  home.

the  sound  of  the  lock  sliding  into  place  barely  cut  through  the  thud  of  her  heartbeat  in  her  ears.  it  took  a  few  moments  for  his  question  to  sink  in. 

"  are  we  okay?  "  billie  repeated,  as  if  she  couldn’t  quite  grasp  the  answer  herself.  her  eyes  locked  on  the  figure  hovering  by  the  door  and  her  body  instinctively  moved  back,  crawling  away  from  the  fragile  barrier  of  wood.  the  absurdity  of  relying  on  something  so  breakable  to  keep  them  alive  wasn’t  lost  on  her. her  gaze  flickered  between  the  frightened  child  and  the  man,  the  words  she  wanted  to  say  and  the  questions  she  wanted  to  ask  tangled  up  in  her  throat.  she  swallowed  her  own  fear,  forcing  a  smile  for  the  kid. 

"  we’re  okay,  “  she  said,  trying  to  sound  reassuring  even  though  she  wasn’t  sure  she  believed  it  herself.  her  own  fear,  for  a  moment,  tucked  itself  away  as  she  focused  on  offering  comfort  to  the  small  figure  in  front  of  her.

“ we’re  safe  in  here,  yeah?  your  daddy’s  gonna  keep  us  safe,  right? ”  billie  said  softly,  her  voice  gentle  as  she  met  the  child's  eyes.  her  gaze  flickered  up  to  the  man,  seeking  his  confirmation,  hoping  for  something  in  his  expression  to  reassure  not  just  his  child  but  herself  too. 

"  i’m  billie,  ”  she  added,  her  gaze  shifting  between  the  girl  and  the  man.  “  what’s  your  name?  ”  the  question  was  directed  at  the  little  one,  but  in  reality,  it  was  her  way  of  also  introducing  herself  to  the  man. 

a  formal  introduction  didn't  quite  fit  the  tension  of  the  moment.

with  the  two  newcomers  safely  inside,  daehyun  kept  a  hand  pressed  against  the  door.  what  was  going  on?  he  didn't  have  the  answer.  this  place  didn't  enjoy  giving  much  for  answers  at  any  moment.  and  now,  with  the  abnormal  onslaught  of  rain  and  the  appearance  of  those  damned  creatures  during  the  day?  daehyun  was  baffled  as  he  held  his  now  crying  toddler  on  his  hip. " i--i  don't  know, "  he  stammered,  swallowing  the  lump  in  his  throat  as  he  forced  himself  to  pull  it  together--for  both  his  family  and  the  new  kids  in  town.  stepping  away  from  the  door,  daehyun  moved  quickly,  rushing  to  pull  the  curtains  and  blinds  down.  " they've  never  come  out  during  the  day  like  this. "  the  words  were  quiet  as  he  moved  around  the  living  room,  ensuring  everything  was  closed  and  sealed  off  before  he  finally  stopped.  "  you  two  okay?  "  he  questioned,  looking  between  his  two  guests  and  whispering  comforting  words  in  the  ear  of  his  very  confused  and  upset  child.

“  funeral?  ”  she  repeated,  a  little  unsure,  like  maybe  she’d  misheard.  her  mind  scrambled  to  piece  together  who  cherry  was  talking  about.  truth  was,  billie  didn't  even  know  any  of  their  names.  “  i  didn’t  know  any  of  them,  ”  she  admitted,  glancing  around  the  diner,  feeling  the  weight  of  the  town’s  curse  pressing  down  on  her  shoulders. 

“ but…  you  knew  that. ”  billie’s  eyes  flicked  back,  softening  a  bit  as  she  asked,  “ is  it  normal  here?  to  go  to  a  funeral  for  someone  you’ve  never  met? ”  she  wasn’t  trying  to  be  dismissive—she  was  genuinely  confused  by  the  way  things  worked  in  this  cursed  town. 

where  she  came  from,  funerals  were  personal,  private. 

here,  from  cherry's  question,  it  felt  more  like  an  unspoken  duty  to  show  up,  no  matter  how  distant.

STATUS : closed for @billiejene ! LOCATION : outside of benny's diner !

" YOU GOIN' TO THE FUNERAL ?" the question is almost conversationally murmured around a cigarette as cherry lights it . she looks to billie with an arch of her brow as she inhales long and deep, her cheeks hollowing with it . cherry blows out smoke before adding, " tryna take a headcount and see how many people are actually plannin' on goin' ... " the only one who cherry kinda knew in the count of bodies was kina, and to be frank, she didn't even know her all that well . she taps ash off the cigarette . " so you can be honest if you're gonna skip ." her brows arch . " i won't tell ."

“ stop! ”  she  barked,  her  hand  shooting  out  to  grab  her  brother's  arm.  her  grip  was  tight as  if  she  could  pull  him  back  with  sheer  force  alone.  his  steps  faltered,  but  the  defiance  in  his  eyes  remained,  frustration  mingling  with  disbelief  as  he  yanked  against  her  hold.

“ let  go,  billie!  there’s  nothing  out  there— ”  he  started,  but  his  words  were  cut  off  by  a  sound,  distant  but  unmistakable.  billie's  heart  pounded  in  her  chest  as  she  turned,  her  breath  catching.  there,  standing  just  beyond  the  road,  a  figure  appeared—a  grin  stretched  unnaturally  wide,  splitting  the  figure's  face  from  ear  to  ear.  it's  voice  was  soft  as  though  it  was  trying  to  calm  them.  but  it  wasn’t  calming.  her  blood  turned  cold,  a  shiver  running  down  her  spine.  she  didn’t  know  how  she  knew,  but  she  knew.  this  wasn’t  human.

“ i  thought  they  could  only  come  out  at  night? ”  she  whispered,  he  panic  in  his  eyes  matched  her  own.  he  knew  too.  there  wasn’t  time  to  think,  only  to  act.  billie’s  instincts  kicked  in,  adrenaline  flooding  her  system  as  she  tugged  her  brother  harder,  pulling  him  away  from  the  road,  away  from  whatever  that  thing  was.  “ come  on! ”  she  urged,  her  voice  low  but  firm,  every  muscle  in  her  body  screaming  to  move,  to  get  away.

she  yanked  him  toward  the  nearest  house,  nearly  knocking  him  off-balance  as  she  shoved  him  inside.  her  eyes  darted  back  to  the  street  just  in  time  to  see  someone—vulnerable,  surrounded.  her  breath  hitched. the  figure  before  them  contorted,  twisting  grotesquely  into  something  inhuman,  and  before  she  could  even  scream,  it  lunged.  billie’s  stomach  twisted  violently,  her  heart  sinking—another  life  lost,  another  name  added  to  the  list  of  people  she  couldn’t  save.

with  her  legs  shaky,  she  stumbled  into  the  house  after  her  brother,  nearly  collapsing  against  the  door  as  she  slammed  it  shut  behind  her. " what is going on ? "

location: kang household open: 0/3

it all happened so quickly. one moment, daehyun and his daughter were simply enjoying time out on the porch before the rain began to pour. it wasn't unusual to get rain every so often, but this storm in particular was very unnerving. the dark clouds that had rolled in had daehyun rising to his feet--and then he saw t h e m in the tree line. with color drained from his face and the lunch he had eaten only a short while ago churning in his stomach, the teacher snatched three-year old bella up in his arms without a second thought. " get inside! " he yelled out, directed mostly at the person passing by on the worn sidewalk. " come on! " he called again as he carried the toddler inside, looking back out from the open door to ensure the other was close behind. if they didn't get up on the front porch in a few moments, daehyun already knew he'd be locking the door without them inside. thankfully, it was but a second or two later that he was able to shut the door securely behind the other, latching the lock and ensuring the amulet was securely attached to the wall beside the doorframe.

| HAN SOHEE, SHE/HER | Welcome to the crossroads, KANG BITNA (BILLIE). Another lost soul that stumbled across a fallen tree in their path. They appear to be THIRTY years old, but it’s hard to tell. The town bares no resemblance to NEW YORK CITY, are you sure we can trust them? Seeing as they ended up here because, SHE REALLY NEEDED TO USE THE BATHROOM ON THE WAY TO CINCINNATI, OHIO. They definitely weren’t looking to end up here. Now they’ll have to rely on being COURAGEOUS to survive. Hopefully their STUBBORNNESS doesn’t get in the way of that. I guess if we’re going to pass the time tonight, might as well request GIRLS LIKE ME DON'T CRY by THỦY. Oh, and one more thing, your new role here will be WAITRESS. We’ll be sending out welcoming party over to the RESIDENTIAL. Welcome to Oblitus, the only thing you have to remember, when the sun sets– don’t open the door.

V I B E S

she  is  chaos  disguised  as  calm,  though her  touch  more  like  rainfall  after  a  california  drought  than  an  actual  storm.  a  paradox  of  hard  stares  and  soft  smiles—a  saviour  that  hurts  herself  before  she’ll  hurt  anyone  else.  she  looks  like  something  out  of  a  faded  photograph—muted  colours  and  worn  edges,  like  the  world  has  tried  to  erase  her  but  couldn’t  quite  manage.  her  makeup  is  minimal,  just  enough  to  accentuate  the  intensity  of  her  gaze,  her  lips  stained  with  muted  reds  like  dried  blood.  tattoos  snake  along  her  skin  like  secrets  she’s  never  going  to  share—inked  reminders  of  who  she  was  before  the  world  started  to  break  her.

brother (close family/protective bond)

billie's brother (younger or twin) is her rock within the chaos of the town. their relationship is one of love and playfulness, they tease each other relentlessly to the point where their parents always thought that they were fighting. she's got an overbearing need to protect him and he's starting to push back-- wanting to assert his independence even though he is a little bit helpless. billie has a tendency to overstep sometimes which results in heated arguments.

ghost from the past (old acquantaince/unfinished business)

someone billie knew from her life in nyc -- an old friend, coworker, or even someone she saved. their presence reminds her of who she was before stumbling into this town. i would like this person to be like a mirror for billie. dynamics: are they grateful that billie saved their life? or are they bitter and resentful that they survived and are forced to live in this town instead?

the one who dislikes her brother (town rivalry/hidden conflict)

someone who has a problem with billie's brother (either because of a misunderstanding or an actual incident) and is holding a grudge against him. billie is on alert whenever they're around. potentially, this person could try to provoke billie into putting herself and her brother at risk.

the medic (colleague/professional bond)

another medical professional in town who shares a similar background. there is respect between them but an unspoken competition over who's truly in control. they could become allies or rivals.

nsfw: a one-night stand (resentment or regret)

a steamy encounter that neither of them expected maybe during one of billie's weaker moments to feel something. or an impulsive decision after a heated argument.

nsfw: the toxic ex (love-hate relationship)

they dated before the town and now they're finding each other here once again. they're bad for each other but the connection is too strong to ignore.

nsfw: the fwb (no strings attached)

they made a deal to keep things casual, just an arrangement to blow off steam. maybe one of them might be catching feelings? or maybe they are both fighting jealousy when someone else comes into the picture.

nsfw: 'i shouldn't want you' (forbidden lust)

think, stolen touches, constant fighting, undeniable attraction.

nsfw: dangerous obsession

someone that is obsessed with billie; she seems unbreakable and maybe they want her to break. maybe billie saved them once and they are fascinated by her fire.

WHERE WAS YOUR CHARACTER WHEN THEY SAW THE TREE AND THE MURDER OF CROWS? WHERE WERE THEY GOING? WERE THEY TRAVELLING ALONE? HOW DID THEY FEEL?

billie was on a mission to relocate her younger brother from new york city to ohio in a u-haul truck when they stumbled upon the town. her brother, a fully functional adult (questionable), could not drive-- hence, billie was stuck behind the wheel. to be honest, she'd spent most of her trip teasing him about his bad driving. they stumbled upon the tree when she took a quick detour to find a restroom.. and now there was no escape. it was when their first night ended that billie realized she might have to hear for the rest of her life how they got trapped here because she just couldn't hold it in for a few miles. 

DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTERS FIRST DAY/NIGHT IN TOWN. DID THEY ARRIVE IN THE DAYTIME? WERE THEY WARNED BY THE RESIDENTS? DID THEY HAVE TO BE RESTRAINED?

billie's first day/night in town would start out like a chaotic blur of confusion, frustration and lots of bickering with her little brother. the detour was meant to be quick but instead of a bathroom, they would stumble upon the tree. the endless loop of the roads returning them to the same point along with her brother's comments would test billie's patience. the tension building so much that she would believe racing through the town, trying to outrun whatever strange force kept pulling them back to the start would help. but of course, there was no escape. finally, in desperation and anger, she would stop the truck. the air around them tense as they had no choice now but to leave the car and interact with the people that glanced at them with.. pity? or a similar emotion to that. billie had spent years as a paramedic in new york city. she knew how to assess chaos and manage an emergency. but as the townspeople crowded around them, eyes wary, trying to be helpful-- pulling her and her brother apart to feed them warnings of what lurked about at night, her confidence would falter. every bit of this situation felt wrong.. it wasn't a crisis that she could bandage, treat and send on it's way. these people.. they were traumatized by whatever thing they were speaking of and even though she didn't believe a single word.. something in their eyes told her to listen them. she convinced her brother that just for tonight, they would listen. they would follow instructions and tomorrow morning they would try to leave again. when darkness swallowed the town, as promised, billie and her brother listened. every door and window was locked shut. this wasn't a situation that she could assess rationally but that didn't stop her from trying. she tried her best to calm her brother, tried to convince him and herself that they would figure this out together. but the scratching at the window, the temptation to open the blinds-- the voices calling out to them to open the door and let them in.. made every logical thought slip through her fingers. for the first time, billie feared that her skills as a trained paramedic might not even be enough to keep them alive..

WHAT DID THEY LEAVE BEHIND? WHAT WAS THEIR LIFE LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE?

billie lived a fast-paced demanding life in new york city as a paramedic. her days were chaotic but purposeful. despite thriving in her career, the emotional weight of saving lives—and sometimes losing them—took its toll on her mental health. her family never understood why she chose such a grueling career path and always urged her to consider a safer and more stable profession but billie was nothing if she wasn't stubborn. she is determined to prove she can handle it all. the one person she always prioritizes in her life is her life is her little brother. billie has never had a long-lasting relationship and new york was partly to blame for that. it seemed like no matter who she let into her life, there was always a hidden agenda. her relationships were passionate but brief, burning out as quickly as they started. her last relationship ended just before her stumbling into town. she had discovered her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend of seven years. the betrayal cut deeper than she expected, she was used to her love interests betraying her but her best friend? it was a little too much. her brother's move became the perfect excuse to leave everyone behind. the drive wasn't just about helping him, it was about escaping the people that had shattered her trust. now, trapped in the town, she's left dealing with more than just the memories she tried to outrun.
