Summary: A catch-all for the Kyln / Sierra Madre event!
The Story:

For the duration of this event, the entire mansion will be part space jail, part apocalyptic wasteland desert with an abandoned hotel/casino. On the third day an escape route not previously discovered in the Kyln appears and breakouts can be planned...

...Only for everyone to find themselves walking through a large glass prison toward the toxic gas filled wasteland of a desert, the Sierra Madre. Does the prison look better than the toxic cloud outside? If you're stuck in the prison after dark beyond day 3, you'll be forced into and locked in your cell for the night. But at least locked away, nothing from the outside can hurt you. If you try to brave the actual elements in the desert it might be a little hard to breathe. The air has pockets of toxic gas and even a few seconds of exposure could prove deadly. And watch out for the Ghost People.

Inside the abandoned hotel/casino you'll find shelter from the gas and ghosts, but beware the holograms that are 50/50 with their attitude. Prison beatings, a beating from the holograms, which one Would You Rather? And whatever you do, don't try on the collars lying around unless you like to explode. Literally.

[ This is a catch-all for all your prison/desert needs! Please mark your threads clearly in the subject line with your character's name and either a cell number or just a location if you didn't feel like randomizing it or you're making a top level for a public place (like the dining hall or wandering the hotel/casino). Here's the plot post if you need it!

Have fun! ]

So, you're just going to what? Relax until it all goes away?

[ maybe a small part of alec wishes he could do that but he knows he won't. he'll pace and prowl and glare at a wall, trying to figure out the problem. he'll stand motionless for hours on end, at attention, while he waits for something to happen.

it's not what he ideally likes to do with his time but he doesn't appear to have a choice. ]

You're not even curious as to why or who put us here?

[morethan084]

I wouldn't go that far.

[Daisy isn't a big fan of these events to begin with, for the most part anyway. Some of them were actually nice. This wasn't one of them though.]

I don't think we'll ever get the reason as to why we were put here unless we find out whose memory this is from. Which is a pretty personal thing to ask.

[deflectere]

It's...someone's memory?

[ forgive him, he was new and this hadn't come up in any of the conversations he'd had with anyone. ]

You can't be serious.

[morethan084]

Yep.

[It was pretty weird to hear when she first came here too. Actually, it was still pretty weird.]

Totally serious even though I wish I wasn't. God knows what would happen if one of my ended up being an event. It's kind of out of our control though.

[deflectere]

How?

[ that was absolutely the only question he had. how could a place pull a memory from someone? and how did alec prevent that from happening to him? ]

My memories are my business.

[morethan084]

I wish I knew the answer to do that, but...

[Probably not the answer he wanted to hear.]

Not here they aren’t. If it makes you feel any better not every event is like this. Some of them are based on memories of a vacation.

[It has been a while since there’s been one like that though.]

[deflectere]

[ alec hadn't really been nervous about this place until now. there were things he'd told people, experiences he'd recently shared with one particular person that he didn't want getting out. ]

Has it happened to you?

Having one of your memories played for everyone to see?

[morethan084]

Technically? No. Not in this sort of capacity.

[He probably wanted her to elaborate on that, or maybe he didn’t, but he had asked.]

There have been events where our own personal memories come into play all at once.

[deflectere]

By the Angel.

[ alec had to get out of this place before his personal business became viewable to everyone. he'd spent his lifetime keeping secrets and he wasn't about to let some strange realm take his choice from him. ]

I don't want that to happen.

[ but if what she was saying was true, then he had no choice. he sighs. ]

This happens often?

[morethan084]

None of us do, but, we don’t really have a choice here.

[Which was, and is, still the hardest thing for Daisy to deal with.]

The events themselves? Yeah, on a semi regular basis. They never last long, although in the moment it can sometimes feel that way.

[deflectere]

Comforting.

[ not really. not really comforting at all. he appreciated the information but a few seconds of something from his memory exposed to the rest of the world was a few seconds too long. ]

I don't do well with just sitting back and accepting what I don't want to happen.

[ just a heads up and all. ]

[morethan084]

Not really.

[She knew he was being sarcastic but said it anyway.

At his 'warning', Daisy lets out a scoff as she leans her head back against the wall.]

I don't either. Good to know I'm not the only troublemaker here.

[deflectere]

No, not really.

[ sarcasm or not, he was going to be agreeing with her there. so, they had common ground on a few things, it seemed. ]

And what kind of trouble are you going to be making?

[ might as well see if he could glean any of her plans before talking about his own especially since he didn't really have a plan beyond standing there and glaring.
if he'd had his stele, this would have been a lot easier. ]

[morethan084]

Dunno. Haven't thought that far ahead yet. Usually just kind of wing it.

[Sadly that's the truth too. Although she's not big on the idea of anyone else possibly getting caught up in whatever she decides to do. Not when it puts them at risk of getting injured.]

[deflectere]

That's not a great strategy.

[ just in case she didn't know that, alec's happy to let her in on that little secret. ]

Usually leads to chaos.

[morethan084]

Sometimes it is.

[When it came to working with a team she was more likely to put together a plan. At least more well thought than what she thought up right before doing something on her own. It just depends on the scenario.]

You'll learn this place creates chaos whether we want it to or not.

Guess this is a pretty good example of that.

[deflectere]

Lovely.

[ that was sarcasm there. did you hear it? he hopes you did. ]

Never thought I'd see the inside of a prison cell. Not here, at least.

[ the silent city had always been a possibility especially with people like jace and clary breaking the rules. ]

[morethan084]

There's a lot of things you'd never expect to see here.

[She's really just selling this place to him, isn't she?]

Could be a lot worse though. At least we have shelter.
