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! ]

What about the math, then.

[ she gestures at the wall. his notes. all of it. ]

Talk to me about the numbers. [ a beat. ] I'm good with those. Perhaps not Stark-levels of good, but I can turn an equation or two in my head.

[ he doesn't need to tell her about the circumstances or the problems or the fears. just the science. ]

The numbers are just a visual. sometimes seeing things stirs the mind, gives new ideas.

[ it hasn't worked so far. but it might just yet. he's pursuing an old lead, something that he used to work on and abandoned in favor of trying protect wonderland from within. it's not going to work with thanos and so it's back to work. ]

The numbers try to make sense of the quest for the way in and out. assuming it's the same way. the same door, if you like.
mucked: (☂ what have you been up to?)

[ ah. that old chestnut. ]

And if it's not?

[ the same door. ]

[personal profile] revokes 2018-05-20 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
then whatever way I'll find the first one, I'll find the second one.

[ a simple plan when it's really not. tony's theories about the doors in and out of wonderland are ever changing for a reason. none of them has been proven as remotely true. ]

and then we'll have to realize how to destroy them before we leave. the numbers are just theories of how to find them. might be all wrong but I won't know until I try.

God loves a trier.

[ quiet -- it doesn't have quite the right oomph to the idiom. for one, she's a bit of a secular creature. and, for another, peggy would sooner believe that trying might be what gets them hurt here.

doesn't mean the attempts shouldn't be made, however. ]


Oi. Tony? [ a moment, waiting for his attention to flicker even briefly onto her. ] You haven't come across any missing words or concepts yet, have you?

You know how much I care about God.

[ it's a deflection. maybe tony cares more about the notion of faith and redemption than god, maybe in his heart of hearts he does pray for forgiveness but at the moment, he seems invested in the front of not caring at all. he looks at the wall of equations, frowning as he tries to put the pieces together. it actually takes him a moment to realize she had spoken once more. ]

what?

[ oh. ]

not any that I miss at all. so no. not that I know of.

But you did feel sick when you first woke up, didn't you? [ she probes gently. tony wasn't here for the last one -- the one that had to do with the asgardians -- and wonders if he even understands the context of what's happening right now. ] I was hoping perhaps you knew what we were dealing with just now.

I've been feeling sick since I've come back.

[ which means yes, he felt something, but nothing so bad to be registered as an anomaly. ]

If you're asking if all of this is from my time the answer is no. I don't know about space prisons. But just because I don't know about it doesn't mean it isn't there.

[ he goes quiet at that, looking at his wall, jaw set. ]

it's always space.

Nevertheless, this is from home. [ she betrays a smidgen of impatience -- as though she doesn't have time for his dramatics, for his far-reaching horrors, for the spare crosses he puts on his shoulder. she sees a problem straight ahead of them and as she tries to articulate it all tony can do is sideline those concerns.

he's worse than he was before. she can practically taste the regression. it makes her sad; it makes her angry. ]


That nausea felt upon the start of an event? It means this particular nastiness is being drawn from memories that belong to someone with whom we share a world. It means we've lost a memory, too, even if we can't pinpoint it. [ ... ] It's happened once before. Shortly before you arrived.

And?

[ he turns, hands in his pockets. tony's tired, he's concerned but not because of missing words and events. ]

it's gone. they took it. it sucks. but the prison isn't trying to kill us - no zombies, no monsters. I'm waiting it out. I don't care about a space prison from my world, I don't care if they take a hundred words.

[ he looks at the wall. ]

it's not - it's a part of a bigger picture.

[ -- such a clever man and yet he misses the point entirely. while he's watching the skies of his bigger picture, he neglects the roots. the fundamental connective tissue between eras and galaxies. the real math versus the figurative stuff he's carving into his cell walls. and if he can't see how her insistence is an offer for help, well...

peggy was never one to beat dead horses. frowning (stinging) she stands. ]


You're so busy staring down your figures. You can't see what the prison is trying to do to us. Staring at a bigger picture is just a different way to be myopic, Tony. [ ... ] It's not merely the words what are important.

[ but as she walks by she dusts a palm across his shoulder. light, supportive. if he won't help her work the immediate issue then she'll look elsewhere. she's far too proud to fight against the tides of his dismissal. ]
