[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?

[Zuko is glad to see the few kids in the Bastion have made it out here safely, but...]

You sure you want to be all the way out here?

[Shouldn't she be more in the middle of the camp so they can protect her?]

[ Because the secret is that Anna reads minds, she knows when she ought to move- ]

Isn't the middle more busy?
daughterofursa: (headscratch)

[Oh. Maybe she's intimidated.]

Too many people for you?

It gets a little noisy, yes. [ Particularly when they are all worried. ]

I don't know how many of us will be getting back to sleep. I think we're all on edge.

[Of course, that probably means plenty of people awake to look out for this girl, even if she is on the edge of camp.]

...you need any help with your tent?

It stays up, but is very lopsided. Do I need another stick?

[ She's building it over her wagon, which has a few rescued rocks around the wheels. ]
daughterofursa: (thinking)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-09-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think that would hold it up better.

[She looks around for a good stick. Zahi cleared most of them from the camp ground, but they are on the outskirts. Plenty of the cleared sticks to be found not too far away.]
aprettyred: (Oh what's that?)

[personal profile] aprettyred 2014-09-07 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
... And maybe another four rocks.

[ Anna crouches to look for those, and her lazy firebug buzzes at them that he will stay right there. ]

Because the rocks can hold the sides out?
