If God Was In Hell We Would All Be Dead [OPEN | MINGLE]

Who: Who wants to kill some slavers? You do! Of course you do!
When: May 15th and onwards
Where: Slave trade outpost in the Runoff
What: The slavers that targeted the crew of the Moira in July are overdue for some justice. Chara breaks some regulations to make that happen. THIS IS A MINGLE LOG; anyone and everyone who wants to get in on this and kill some slavers is absolutely free to do so! Chara is relying on there being some chaos for this to work.
Warnings: PROBABLE DEATH. Probable references to slavery, trauma, and also death. Chara.


The Ingress opens to a spilling wash of gray and white, a monochrome cast of shadows and hard angles. The Runoff, it seems, is not a place of many colors; every inch of it is drab and washed out, cold and impersonal as the people who would employ such a place for their own twisted ends. A swirled nebula of stars glimmers overhead. It is night.

Knives are useful tools, but their reach is limited. A quiet transmission to the network, a select few messages delivered to a select few individuals, the hissing strike of a match igniting on the edge of a box. The place is angular and looks to be comprised of some sort of galactic equivalent of asphalt, likely inflammable. Still, it is entirely too dark. Too gray. Too poorly maintained. Tents and shabby establishments line the streets, places where, evidently, personal agency may be bought and sold on a whim.

It does not take long to find a structure of cloth and wood, and the whole of it soon emanates the rank, coppery tang of some interdimensional brand of gasoline.

Knives are useful tools. But they did not come with knives.

Or rather, they did not come only with knives.

One of the stalls is alight in a matter of moments. Red and gold tongues of flame gobbling the establishment whole, filling the place with both the color and light that it so lacked. Knobs of wood harvested from the wreckage form handy torches to set anything else aflame, to thoroughly raze the entire area to the ground, every stall and ship and vendor that supported and enabled the inflorescence of slave trafficking and slave keeping. Armed guards begin to converge on the disturbance at once. But small as said disturbance is, there is no guarantee that it will not come to grow.

That is, of course, where you come in.

One child alone cannot possibly take the entire place down, and flame can only take things so far. It is hardly enough when their aim is one of total destruction, however unrealistic an expectation that might be. They'll need help. Lots of it.

So won't you join the dance?

[He'd come here just to come here, so at least she's got that over him. Saving anyone hadn't really been his thought, but it seems to be what he's doing anyway.]

You don't need to apologize for that.

[She isn't really sure what to say to that; all of her time here has only cemented that she must be infallible or people will die.

Unfortunately, she doesn't get a chance to respond. She can sense someone coming towards them, around a corner up ahead, and they really don't feel friendly. Wanda's eyes go wide and she tugs on Erik's arm towards a ruined building. They can probably dodge whoever it is if they're careful.]


Not that way. There's trouble.

[Wanda doesn't care if another slaver dies, but she does care if Erik gets hurt protecting her.]

[People tend to die when Erik's around, even if he's not the one doing the killing. He's accepted it as a part of his life now. It's a different sort of burden, when the wrong people get caught in the crossfire.

He nods at Wanda's warning and heads toward the rubble.

He does have to admit that sometimes, telepathy can be a useful ability to have. Which still doesn't mean that he wants someone in his head.]


Hopefully we won't encounter too much more of that.

[Even as he says it he doesn't believe it.]

[She glances at him, expression just shy of wry.]

This entire planet is trouble.

[Wanda picks her way through what's left of the building. Someone managed to put out the fire, but it was too late to save the roof.

She pauses before the open doorway on the other side of the building, eyes unfocusing as she psychically probes the area.]


I think this way is fine, but we need to be careful.

It certainly isn't easy. [Not that he expected it to be. These things never are.

He pulls some twisted debris around them like a shield, to keep their foes away until they can find a clear path back to the Ingress.]


Careful. Got it.
