[Day 225] [EVENT] A sinking feeling

Who: Anyone and everyone
Open: Open
When: Early morning on Day 225
Where: Everywhere in the Bastion
What: Remember how cores used to be a thing? Yeah, they're still important.
Format: any
Warnings: terrible modpuns

[Early in the morning on Day 225, most people are probably asleep. For the couple of stragglers who may still be awake so late, though, they may notice something strange. At 2:31 am, any lights that are on start to hum, and flicker in and out of dimness.

At 2:32 am, every light in the Bastion (excluding the emergency lights) shuts off entirely.

At 2:33 am, a horrible grinding noise can be heard throughout the Bastion, seemingly coming from everywhere at once. This sound continues on for several minutes, throughout everything else that begins to happen.

At 2:34 am, for anyone outside Nathaniel can be seen running from the Apartments towards the Monument as if his life depended on it.

At 2:35 am, ever so slowly, sections of the Bastion begin to sink.

What do you do?

He could've said something about that.

[Forever annoyed with this man, but at least they have some form of shelter they can go to.]

...are you doing all right?

I think he was tryin' to get it finished before he made an announcement over it. Guess our cores had other ideas.

[Groaning, Rin lowered her arm to look at up Zuko, squinting painfully at what little light is out there.]

Oh yeah, fantastic. I just love havin' my sensitive ears blasted with the sounds of a thousand metal parts breakin' all at once.

I guess he didn't want any help either.

[Zuko grimaces a little in sympathy. Her hearing might be better than the average person's, but it's not on Rin's level. This is where you'd want a waterbender, probably.]

You want me to leave you alone?

No, I was helpin' him. He just didn't want a lotta hands involved.

[Probably. Chances were she as at least some rupture going on in there due to how powerful and loud the start of the noises were.

She shakes her head and attempts to sit up, but it only causes further pain to shoot through her head and at her neck and ears.]


Augh--...
daughterofursa: (raising my only eyebrow)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-09-12 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph.

[Zuko motions for her to lie back down.]

Just take it easy. Is your brother around?

Nn... yeah, he's... somewhere. I think he and Ryuuji are checkin' on everyone makin' sure no one got hurt.

[And she did kind of wave them both off and tell them to look after the others.

"I'll be fine" she said. That was before she tried to sit up.]

I take it you told them you weren't.

I'll send him back your way if I find him.

'course I did.

[What do you take her for, Zuko? Some one who isn't prideful?]

'kay, thanks...

[She's just... going to lay there in pain.]
