A Monolith of Meat featuring Horrorshow cw: body horror Mid-September, 2023 Freedom City, New Jersey, USA, Earth “But… what is it?,” one asked. “It’s obscene,” an older onlooker replied, sickened yet curious. “It’s only obscene if you think it’s obscene,” another said. “It’s a, whatchacallit… an abstract.” The newest addition to Southside was, to all appearances, a towering obelisk of meat, in the middle of a grassy field on the Freedom College campus. It stood over twenty feet tall – visible from State Route 6, and the airspace immediately around Jordan International Airport – and was estimated to weigh over 20,000 pounds. It was the raw pink of exposed muscle, and appeared to have the texture of ground beef or pork, though it remained still and unshifting. A group of drunk students were the first to stumble upon it, but word quickly spread throughout campus, then through all of Freedom. Opinions and theories quickly formed, ranging from the mundane (“it’s a student art project, a traditional object made from non-traditional materials,” “its phallic shape represents patriarchal power, yet its organic composition shows how such power is temporal and ultimately fleeting”) to the macabre (“it’s some stunt by PETA,” “it’s the work of a new serial killer!”) to the fantastic (“the Flying Spaghetti Monster has blessed us with His Meaty Appendage!” or “it’s an alien seed pod!”). The notion that it was an art project was quickly discarded, as the only ones who claimed credit for it were quickly revealed to be frauds or trolls. A few grad students from HIT came over to perform some tests, but each result raised further questions. X-rays and similar scans showed it was a mass of undifferentiated meat, no bones, no discrete organs. And it was meat, of Earthly origin, but all tests to determine what kind of meat were inconclusive. It also extended several feet into the earth, though it was well clear of any water lines or other infrastructure. The pillar maintained a core temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit – the same as a healthy human body, and about 20 degrees warmer than the surrounding air temperature – though how it did so was unclear. Various authorities were called, but none knew what to do. Fears that the pile of meat might pose a health risk were dismissed, as it showed no signs of rotting, and attracted no vermin. No one complained of any stench, as it had no odor at all. Moving it posed a number of challenges, as no one wanted to risk ten tons of meat toppling over and splattering everywhere (or worse, falling on someone and smothering them). The pile of meat continued to draw a crowd throughout the day, and into the evening. Candlelight vigils were set up, in hopes of spotting its creator, or of the meat itself doing something. People drank, and sang, and danced, and prayed. Night inevitably surrendered to day, and as the rising sun cast its rays on the pile of meat, a few claimed to sense a change in the meat. Some said the color had shifted slightly, while others insisted it was smoother. The folks from HIT resumed their measurements, and their most sensitive instruments determined that, yes, the meat was indeed changing… but was this simply a slow process of decomposition, or something else? The meat continued to slowly shift, losing an inch or so of height each day, and slowly darkening to a deeper shade of crimson. The ground beef texture shifted to something more like chicken breast, or a well-marbled steak. Scans showed even more drastic changes going on inside, with long sausage-like tubes slithering up and coiling around random masses of denser tissues. Calluses of thickened skin appeared across the meat, then patches of keratinous scales. The tower’s compression accelerated, to a few inches each day, then a foot, two feet, three. On the tenth day it was less than eight feet tall, and was now more akin to a great leathery egg, the color of clotted blood. Scans showed a denser mass inside, approximately five feet around, but could not render any fine details. The meat awoke. ~~~~~ “... and after chasing him through the quad,” Horrorshow continued, taking another sip of coffee from the back of the ambulance, “he stopped and, well, glared at me.” When the meat-egg split open, he was inside, huddled in a fetal position. As consciousness slowly returned, the leathery membrane contracted about him, forming a brown skintight suit, but leaving his feet, hands, and narrow head exposed. Few had seen his true form, the thin lipless mouth, two tiny slits instead of a nose, skin a muddy mix of blacks, browns, pinks, reds, and yellows, and solid eyes filled with glittering swirls, but it was the form he’d awoken in, and he saw no point in changing. “Next thing I know, I woke up here, surrounded by all of them,” he gestured towards the crowd being held back by a mix of campus security and city police. He shook his head slowly, still trying to clear his vision, “I don’t think I’ve ever been hit that hard before.” “And that happened over a week ago?,” he asked the EMT, who simply nodded. The vitiliginous vigilante let out a low whistle, “wow, that kid’s got power. I’ll be sure to file a report with the League, so they can keep an eye out for him. I’d like to chalk his actions up to someone lashing out out of fear, not malice. If we can get him some proper guidance…” He trailed off, remembering the chaotic times when he’d first gained his powers. After a moment’s reverie, he shook his head again, downed the rest of the coffee, and hopped to his feet. “Again, I thank you, but I have got to get going. I’m sure I’ve missed a lot!” He grabbed the top of the ambulance’s back door and pulled himself up to the roof of the vehicle, then took to the air on great leather wings that had sprouted from his back. My folks must be worried sick! ~fin~

Anyone shadowing the trio would not see Davyd Palahniuk, the young Ukrainian-American who had just turned 21 years old and was quickly making a name for himself in Danger Media. No, they would see something more in line with his nom de guerre, Horrorshow. He was currently in the form of some terrifying predatory beast, roughly the size and shape of a bear, with a head somewhere between a boar and a basset hound -- looking like a half-melted pig -- and a flickering serpent's tongue. Veronica had provided him with some of her brother's worn clothes, so he had a solid read on Rex's scent. Speaking in this form had proven difficult (and disturbing), but he found he could shift the patterns of his fur to form crude symbols, arrows and stop signs. The latter was no showing, as he had stopped and was sniffing in several directions.

Artificer While Heroditus did not understand the particular Surfacer dialect Owain used, he could clearly see the magic coming off the youth, and had a sense of what its effect would be. And he dreaded it. "Wait no surely there is another way-" he cried, but that's all he could get out before his body had changed. What followed was a string of Atlantean (and some Surfacer) expletives -- though they came out as croaks and caws -- as he ranted against the use of form-changing sorceries, and if Owain was sure he could change them back. I know he meant well, he reminded himself, trying to keep a positive attitude as he took flight, and three-dimensional movement is preferable to walking. "Good work," he (reluctantly) cawed out to Owain, unsure if the spell which altered their forms would translate his words, but wanting to say something positive all the same.

Sorry to take so long! Artificer's going to renew the barrier he's got up separating us from the villains.

Artificer The barrier between the villains and the teens continued to grow, debris transmuting into interlocking branches of rough coral. "I can keep this up a bit longer," he called to his classmates, "but there is only so much I can do with these materials. If we're going to evacuate these civilians, and and call for more... experienced champions, then we should do so quickly!" Asking adults for help? What a nerd! 'Come out to the party,' he thought, replaying a discussion from earlier that evening, 'we'll get together, have a few laughs'.... it is always something with these Surfacers! Ah, well, at least I have been able to provide some assistance here.

Please clearly note any threads in which you are both player and GM/running an NPC. In threads where you are both player and GM/an NPC, please be sure to mark each post so we can tell who it should be allocated to. Please list your threads in a timely manner. Extending the deadline one week into the following month is already a grace period. If you've done any "extracurriculars" -- artwork, HellQ, 20 Questions, NPC, vignettes, guidebook pages, etc. -- please be sure to list them along with your active threads. For more information on ways to earn power points, see Character Advancement and Awards in the House Rules section of the Guide. Post counts should be formatted similar to the following: To make clear how many posts from rollover and GM posts are assigned to each character. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in being shot through the heart with an arrow your post counts being postponed or skipped completely. If you missed the deadline, see this thread.
