Event - What If You Could Be Better? OOC Plotting

What If You Could Be Better?
Whatever a sinner remembers from the night before, they won't be quite sure why they are waking up now to blinding lights. Maybe they're being rushed through a confusing maze of halls by the familiar Mercy nurses who seem a bit... off. More so than usual. Surgically enhanced, just the way Mammon likes them. Animal features, or missing ears or noses, lips sewn shut. He's made them better, more beautiful, is what he would insist.

Not that sinners will realize that. No, they will find themselves strapped to a table. If they ask what's happening, the nurses will explain that Mercy has been expanded to include a hospital and even dental services now, thanks to Mammon's generous donations.

When asked why they were brought here, they’ll get some sympathetic tsks.

"You're here because you're ill, sweetie. You'll be fine, baby." The constant slew of sugary sweet reassurances may turn one's stomach after a bit.

Perhaps not as much as the soothing voice that comes out bright over the intercom. "Good morning, citizens of Penance. We ask that you join us this fine morning for a prayer, whether patient, visitor, or staff. Please, bow your heads and let us pray."

Staff obediently responds to the request. "We ask you, our ever present God, to bless everyone in this hospital. Be with those who are anxious and afraid, replace their fear with trust and faith in Your divine plan. Please Lord, watch over those wretched souls who have lost their way, who have none to lean on. Lead us, Lord, and fill our hearts with Your peace. Amen."


IT’S JUST A LITTLE SNIP SNIP SNIP
WARNINGS: medical horror, body horror, amputations, cannibalism, body modification, dental torture.

Some patients in Mercy Hospital will find themselves waking to a world of pain -- and potentially, missing limbs or organs. The organs, as it turns out, are harvested either for Mammon's pet projects, or to be recycled into the cafeteria for food for the patients. Of course not all the food is people, but it may be difficult to tell what is what... and some may be too hungry to care. If you’re that worried, you’re more than welcome to stick to the fruit cup or Jell-o!

Bodies will be modified with either animalistic features, interesting prosthetics, or potentially even joined to another sinner!

Fins, gills, and other haunting features may be fitted to sinners... who additionally may find that they can't breathe normally any longer and crave the water. Some of them may find themselves moved to a wing more suited to amphibians, where the halls and rooms are partially (or totally, in some cases) underwater. The hospital food is different, but if you've been transferred here you might already be thinking that insects and plankton are starting to taste pretty good.

Others may find animalistic behaviors slowly start to take over as they adjust to their new additions.

Others will just be left with their missing limbs to wonder what is to come.

Additionally, some may find themselves strapped into a dentist's chair and given a perfect new smile. Who hasn't wanted fangs at some point in their life, right?


SAD PILLS, HAPPY PILLS, ALL THE PILLS
WARNINGS: drugs, drug abuse, dependence

Additionally, others may find themselves the subject of experimental cocktails of varying kinds of pills and injections. The side effects will vary between insanely intense aphrodisiacs, euphoria, extreme sadness or violence, or strange abilities. Sudden telepathy that allows you to hear the thoughts of others around you (or is it all in your head?), laser vision that's uncontrollable, or possibly just hives, warts, or other discomforts.

Not to worry. It's absolutely for your own good, sinners!

All those strange urges you may start to feel, whether it be the urge to commit violence or other acts that feel out of character for you, should be reported to your physician immediately for observation.


DO A LITTLE COCAINE ABOUT IT
WARNINGS: drugs, drug abuse, medical horror, old time medicine and practices, dub-con, non-con

Willis has arrived on the scene to treat any injuries acquired! While he does seem to genuinely care about patients and doesn’t seem too thrilled with the needless surgeries and experimentation, he is extremely old fashioned.

His demonic little helpers are barely knee height and tend to get a little mischievous with patients! The jabbing with pitchforks is absolutely necessary, they insist! They're just checking reflexes.

But be prepared for all old time remedies, prepared to heal you up the right way, how it used to work.... That lingering toothache you have from your fangectomy should be handled easily with a little cocaine. And if some of you are in a panic when nothing at all has even happened to you, that's obviously just a bout of hysteria. You probably just need some good and proper vibrators to work on you. And while you're at it, take some heroin for that cough.


RECREATION
Of course seeing to patients' health is of the utmost priority, including their mental well-being, so when not being confined to their room, patients are allowed to do at least a bit of mingling. There is a rather nice, enclosed park to take a careful stroll through, arts and crafts, and bribing staff for extra pain medicine.

By every evening, the voice will be back, booming through the speakers stationed around the hospital. "It is time for quiet hours. We ask that all staff and guests respect the patients' need for rest and do their utmost to be quiet during this time. No sounds should be made. Close your eyes and get some rest."

Lights will be cut in all rooms and hallways to let an eerie silence settle in. So quiet, all you have to enjoy is the sounds of beeping machines and your own heart beating. While the nurses may take on their usual grotesque appearances, sinners seem to be living their nightmares 24/7 now.


GIVE A HAND
WARNINGS: amputation mention, medical horror

As hopeless as things seem for some, not every sinner has been involuntarily checked into the hospital. Those still lingering in the hotel might be content to go about their usual routines, of course. But others might be more inclined to do something before their friends are all vivisected and stitched together into something else. To them, Lucifer sends an appeal.

Of course Lucifer is none too thrilled by Mammon's antics and will be asking for help to get sinners out. He'll provide assistance Infiltrating the hospital to gather intel or check on patients, and sometimes even sneak them out. He hopes that they can use their stubborn willpower to keep from succumbing to what Mammon has done to the place. But then again, it's one thing to imagine oneself a hero and another thing entirely to maintain one's resolve when some of the disguises prove too effective.

This is a learning hospital, you see, and the eldest staff is happy to teach curious newcomers. If you show up in scrubs, then you must be wanting to assist in a surgery. Come along, right this way. No need to worry about washing your hands. Just hold on to this saw while the senior specialist talks you through conducting an amputation. Who knows? You might find that you like it once you've done a few procedures. It can be satisfying work with a busy schedule.

But if some can resist the urge to lapse into learning a trade or becoming drunk with power at having access to filling pharmacy prescriptions, there might still be a path to rescue at least a few. Not all staff are on board with Mammon's latest act of greed. Some staff may even try to delay patient surgeries or treatments for as long as possible, or take punishment for sinners inside, buying time for them to escape. Maybe you can't help everyone, but at least you can help someone.


Misc.
This month, Mercy's going through sort of a rebranding. More services for all! It's all in the interest of creating a healthier community.

If you have questions, comments, suggestions, etc., go here.

I hope Ritsu is ready for a super aggressive version of his spouse when he ultimately infiltrates the place, because Eiji in his worst temper is what he’s likely to find.

hey eiji, do you want to be shot in the head first thing? it's for your own good, he promises

[personal profile] nonbinding 2022-04-08 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
If we’re being honest I could see it coming down to it. If the cards in Eiji’s hand are that bad during this, he isn’t going to be rational.

Hell, he might not recognize Ritsu at first, and it could get really bad if he spots him as Lucid.

[personal profile] suicideprototype 2022-04-08 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
ritsu will want to do it either way, since it's the easiest way to make sure eiji's mind is in one piece

he himself might not be doing too hot though depending on how long eiji's been gone. since he's soort of been relying on eiji's catharsis

That’ll be a fun song and dance. Which of them is in worse shape will have to wait to be seen, but damn we should prepare for a messy end to this possibly.

Aiden will be going full-on kitsune, which isn't much of a stretch, given that he's headed in that direction as far as Hell Changes go, anyway -- that's the good news. The bad news is that, if you're familiar with D&D, he'll be under the effects of the Feeblemind spell for the duration -- basically he'll be way dumbed down. He'll still be able to recognize his friends, but he won't be able to think far enough to be overly useful in an escape. Natasha's on the docket to get him out, but if you want to run into him otherwise, hit me up.

Nathan will be on the receiving end of pills that give him some pretty crippling telepathy ... and that's about as far as I've gotten with that.

And finally, Otto is going to get drawn in on the doctor side of things. With the inhibitor chip disabled for the duration of the event, if you need someone to do horrible things to your kids, the Doc is available. He'll obviously feel terrible about all of it, once everything's over, but for the time being, it's all in the name of science! Don't worry. It won't hurt. Much.

It's been a while since we had CR, maybe you'd be up for some tagteaming in the rescue efforts? I'm thinking Peggy but I also wouldn't mind him being the brick wall that makes Bela slow down in the violence a lil, whichever works o/

what if they share a tank tho

[personal profile] sharktrash 2022-04-08 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love for Squalo to meet either Diana or Geralt (or both eventually)!

He's also going to be a scary mermaid, so there's room for mermaid uprising right there. Alternatively there's cocaine-inducing throwing down as an option.
sharktrash: (Default)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2022-04-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Would Ava be up to rescuing one of the nightmare mermaids? o/ I'd like for Squalo to be stuck there for a while but I'm totally down for him getting out sometime near the end. Plus this seems like a good opportunity for otherwise unlikely CR.
formerlydead: (pic#14715440)

[personal profile] formerlydead 2022-04-08 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! I can have Ava prioritize people she cares about the most first, then go back for others like Squalo later. I'm excited for this potential new CR. Will you have a top level to tag into?
zunge: (but I'm sorry I don't pray that way)

[personal profile] zunge 2022-04-08 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Question about the body modifications done to characters. Is decorative body piercing like corset piercing sets or microdermal stuff and uhh... stitching similar to what Juuzou from Tokyo Ghoul does to himself within the purview of what a character could find themselves subjected to? And if yes, can any piercings stick around if the character would leave them there?
zunge: (Default)

[personal profile] zunge 2022-04-08 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it basically is just decorative stitching with, to the best of my awareness (i've only seen three seasons of the anime and don't know the TG manga myself) no additional significance. And yeah, just wanna make him sparkly and take advantage of him being able to feel the pain of any piercings he gets during this. I am shallow and easily satisfied here. Thank you.

Sounds good! I plan to make one yeah, but I'm also good with hitting up yours, whichever works best :)

[personal profile] formerlydead 2022-04-08 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I'll write one for this event so I'll probably keep an eye out for yours :)

[personal profile] amazonfresh 2022-04-08 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I would be down for either of those! I have to say I'm amused by mermaids hanging out on the rocks together, except instead of being beautiful it's like murdery monster mermaids.

I would absolutely love to do somethning with you! Cool with teaming up Peggy and Ferroc, but will let you know about Bela as I need to think around her plans more :)

Daryl will be getting kidnapped and going through a few stages of operations until he's a fully disfunctional merman stuck in his poor lonely (or not so lonely if there's company??) tank. He'll be available for threads pre-tank inside the hospital before he's fully water-bound, but he'll definitely need someone either very strong or very smart to save him from his situation - though what you do afterwards with a gill-using merman is the true mystery? It all seems very south park in my head. Do the changes disappear when he leaves the grounds? Does he have to live in the sea forever afterwards? COULD HE GET GABE'S GUN AND KNIFE BACK WHILE HE'S DOWN THERE?

Stay tuned to find out.

and oh ps, I'd also be up for Daryl running into anyone he already has cr with getting the 'hysteria treatment' so the poor guy can get his first intro to the concept of sex toys, so hmu if this is a shameless situation that appeals to you. 👀

/raises hand for hysteria treatment >D

Also as per a mod response in questions, changes are just for the duration of the event this time. We'd have to ask about if they'd stick when taken off hospital grounds while the event is still going.

[personal profile] dadyl 2022-04-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha that's going to do Daryl's head in real hard, he sees Nacho as pretty invulnerable so he'll be boggled that someone that hard is willing to let go like that.

But yeah that's what I'm saying, wondering if the escape is pre-event end/if the escapes end the event/if everyone is released at the end and that's when the changes fade, etc. The AU ended up being pretty specific about those things in the end so I'll probably just ask the mods now.
mijo: <user name="ewoks"> (Default)

[personal profile] mijo 2022-04-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
He would not actually be willing to let go, that's the appeal. I have a Scenario in mind!

Ooh yeah I'd want to know that as well.

Holy shit talk about landing in Hell at the worst possible time.

So after the inevitable meltdown (or several), Bum will most likely assume that he has, in fact, gone insane. Monstrous nurses? Surely they just look that way in his head, and he shouldn't be making their job more difficult!

I'm mostly interested in the drug stuff (for example telepathy would be awful for everyone involved, because he already feels things a LOT more intense than is normal, he could probably accidentally explode someone's brain with that lbr), but I could be convinced into a little bit of organ harvesting if there's PCs who'd want to do that. Otherwise he'll just be trying to be good but also maybe attempt to slip away at some point because everything is terrible.

I'm open to discuss other ideas as well :)

(p.s. do please note the canon CWs and general information here!)

Nice! We can go with Peggy and Ferroc and see where we get from there. Do you have any other preferences? They could plan it or they could end up in the hospital separately and team up during the action.

Ftr I'm thinking of making Ferroc (really poorly) disguise himself as a doctor, so he could get her out of a tight spot or something using the fact he looks beastly enough that the nurses don't question his credentials <<
