[LIVE] how edge me be

Where: l o b b y
When: 405 morning

[When you come down to the lobby this morning, it's surprisingly full of... people?..

Except rather than people, they're man-height posable mannequins, dressed in various clothing and seated in the chairs and on the sofas. Though seated isn't the right word - slumped might be better, because all of them are, well, "dead" in one way or another. Several are beheaded, the heads (with proper wigs and makeup) lying nearby as though they were actually chopped off. Several have been stabbed or shot through. Some effort has been put into soaking the "wounds" with an appropriate shade of dark red and brown paint to give the effect of fresh as well as dried blood. All in all it's fairly convincing, especially viewed from a distance.

There's no one else... oh wait, there's Stiletto, but she's just vibing in the dining area with some tea and a book. Welcome to your scheduled stage-a-death live, please appreciate her art, not that she CARES apart from getting the points.]

[....huh.]

There a dance or something happening?

[Poking one of the mannequins. Is this real blood though.]

[revolutionista]

[Fortunately(?) it's not blood!]

... Why a dance?

[thisismagrave]

Usually if you set up a bunch of macabre mannequins, its for some kind of gathering. Dances, festivals, potlucks.

[avestan]

Huh. Very artsy.

[revolutionista]

I grew tired of the accusations whenever I try to recruit someone for these, yet I would like to put at least some skill into the things I do.

[like bitch just let her do murder]

[avestan]

Yeah, people are weird about murder like that.

[pyromagiac]

[ deadass just trips over one of the mannequin's feet ]

—oh, I'm sorry!

[ apologizing . . . to . . . the mannequin ]

[revolutionista]

[SHEEP.............................

Stiletto just watches for a bit, but eventually comes over.]

These are not real people, Felicity.

[pyromagiac]

Huh?

[ squints at them, leaning close to one like she's having a hard time seeing ]

[pyromagiac]

. . . They're not!!

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[picking up a nearby head]

...Oh. Fake.

[he seems kind of disappointed, tbh. taking it over to the Hound.]

Hey, dog! Fetch!

[revolutionista]

[watches.]

Would you like to help with obtaining a real one?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[still waggling the head at the Hound]

That depends. Whose head is it gonna be?

[586]

[ purposely knocks into them to make more of a mess. he may even crush some of them underfoot, peering down at their fake bloodied no faces. ]

…

Empty husks. [ why is there no meet inside of these??? ]

[revolutionista]

[what the FUCK is that--okay no she does monitor new arrivals obsessively now, but. That sure is still a demon horse.]

That's generally what mannequins are, yes.

[flawandorder]

How quaint.

[Don't mind him if he nudges one off the edge of the sofa and onto the floor to open up a seat and join her.]

I didn't know you had such a flair for the theatrical.

[revolutionista]

[This is only allowed if the fallen mannequin adds to the image of a massacre.]

People are manipulated by their emotions. Knowing how to make use of it and how to make an impact is power.

[But also yes she's just DRAMATIC.]

[proceedwithcautus]

Re: 1/2 see nested comment

[proceedwithcautus]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Why...??

[ WHY ARE PEOPLE HERE SO WEIRD. ]

[revolutionista]

Ask the producers.

[SHE DIDN'T COME UP WITH ZRAEL LIVE THEMES, OK



not that she wouldn't still do these things if she was on a different unit, but,]

[neigh_sayer]

NO!! MY LOVE! What have you done to them?!

[revolutionista]

Killed them, of course.

[choochoochuuni]

[finally leaving his room after a couple days]


What is this? I thought it was supposed to be normal outside.

[revolutionista]

Can't imagine who would give you that impression.

[is dia telling weird things to newbies.]
