MURDERWORLD [mod plot] [Reunion/Rescue]
Who| Everyone who wants in
What| The reunion/rescue of the folks in Murderworld
Where| The Temperate Zone
When| Day 3, at the very end of the arena
Warnings/Notes|
Thanks to the heroes that broke into Arcade's control room, the arena was officially over, and now that the Science Police and Legion had been contacted, people were being gathered up in an area in the temperate Zone and being extracted by portable threshold gates. A first aid station had been set up to triage those who needed immediate emergency care and patch up what injuries they could to hold people over until they got home.
Grief counselors were already on standby to help the Legionnaires and Harrubian dissidents and their families deal with the crisis they had just faced.
Arcade had already been taken away by the Science Police to face trial for multi-murder, and while some of the raw footage of the arena had already been uploaded to the UP internet, the Legionnaires had made the best of a bad situation.
The fact of the matter was every Legionnaire that had been kidnapped had survived. Arcade had been stopped. Almost all of Arcade's "Tributes" had been killed or detained by the Legionnaires and some of the Harubbian dissidents. The arena had ended on Day 3 instead of Day 30, which had saved dozens of lives. And the upload of the raw footage had been stopped mid-stream so that only a few people would have to deal with their ordeal becoming public knowledge.
Now it was time for friends and teammates to reunite and for everyone to head back to the safety of Legion World.
[ooc: Anyone can start a thread, regardless of whether they're a Legionnaire that was in the arena, or a Legionnaire outside the arena checking up on their friends.]

But then this asshole showed up, a literal ghost of the past. McCree supposes the twisting knot of grief in his gut never completely went away, especially the longer he spent time alone and the only company he had to keep were memories and ghosts, but maybe another part of him was never completely willing to think it was completely over. The Recall certainly proved that right at the very least.
"Now everyone's gettin' on with their lives." This seems like an opportune time--or maybe an opportune need--for a cigar and he pulls one out of an unseen chest pocket.
Despite his tone, he's able to find a twisted humor in it all and ho-hums as he lights up. "Funny how that works out, mm?"
no subject
Why fake your death if you're going to half-ass it? Still, Jack catches the spite in McCree's voice, and he can't honestly blame him for it. He'd holed up in a safe house and watched while all of his friends were put through grueling UN tribunals as Overwatch was dismantled. He'd told himself through all of it that they'd persevere. That a hearing was not the worst thing that could happen to them. That they were all still alive, they wouldn't be dragged down with him, and soon it would all be over. All he ever wanted was to keep his people safe.
But it seems old habits die hard for everyone, if what Winston did is any indication.
"You didn't answer the Recall, did you?"
no subject
A moment short-lived before McCree gestured flippantly with his hand, trailing smoke in the air. He's conducting an orchestra and has no idea what song to play.
"Yes and no." He finally says, like he knew the answer all along. Did it really matter now that they had, apparently, much bigger problems to worry about with Legion?
"Don't need Winston's blessings to enact justice as it's needed." He exhaled in 76's general direction, like the smoke would do him some good. "You know I can't keep away from that."
no subject
76 isn't surprised, though he has to admit that he's a bit relieved to know that McCree hasn't answered. Not that it matters much when they're all stuck here, but it's the principle of the thing, he guesses. He tried his best to keep them all safe, to let them get on with their lives, but they all go back to fighting for truth and justice and whatever else because he was the one who made them that way in the first place.
"Couldn't just get on with things, could you?"
