Event: Day 278 [open]
Who: Vee, Zee, and you
Open: Open
When: Day 278
Where: The Skyway, in the Pyth Orchard
What: GIMMICK BOSS BATTLE
Format: action
Warnings: Both NPC and PC death is possible, based on choices made during the event
[At about midday on Day 278, the taller of the two teenage Ura comes running in to the Bastion from the Skyway. Anyone who has talked to this pair of boys will know how odd this is, because they are usually inseparable.
He's out of breath, but he will call out as he runs towards the monument.]
Help! Help, it's Zee, he's- He's in trouble!

Hey Nathan, I've got something I need to ask you about.
no subject
Yeah? What's up?
no subject
Someone decided to get cute with one of Pyth's bulls.
The power source had been stripped out, and this was inside in its place. I can't even begin to guess whether it's useable, or if we want to throw it over the edge and not look back.
no subject
...huh. I don't think I've ever seen a core that looks like this before. It's almost like it's been discolored or something.
[Curiosity is getting the better of him.]
We could always test it before putting it in the Monument? Just to see if it's alright. I can't imagine anything could be wrong with it, Cores function pretty much the same even when they come in different colors. Though the swirling pattern is new to me.
no subject
[He frowns slightly, studying the core.]
Have you got a good test for core efficiency or stability? It seemed to be overloading the bull...
no subject
[Not necessarily safe, but safer than other options.]
Let's use some cables to attach it to one of the radios here, and see what happens.
no subject
... Preferably one that's been giving you trouble. From what I was able to tell by looking at it, the bull was cooking from the inside. An overload is likely.
I'll grab something to put the core on so we don't have to be holding it while we do this. ... You may also want to get some insulated gloves.
no subject
But yes, after a few minutes of preparation, he's got a radio open and some protective gear on. The wires are hooked up to the proper nodes in the radio, and the other ends are ready to be hooked to the core.]
Since you found it, you want to do the honors?
no subject
[He gives Nathan a grin, and he reaches out to take the cables. After putting on his OWN insulated gloves, of course.]
Here goes nothing...
[He attaches the cables to the core, watching the core for reaction... he's sure Nathan will keep his eyes on the radio.]
no subject
Well, 'noise' might not be the right description. It's more felt than heard. But whoever feels those wavelengths coming from the radio, they will start to feel a very interesting effect.
All those fears and worries that you keep locked up inside? Yeah, now they're blaring like a foghorn in your mind, as if they are an imminent threat and must be dealt with immediately. These waves are feeding that paranoia and making it grow, so while a strong-willed person may be able to force themselves to ignore that feeling at first, the feeling will get stronger as time passes, up until even the most strong-willed person can't ignore it.
Fortunately, since Colin and Nathaniel hooked it up to a radio instead of the whole Bastion, the effect only has about a 100-meter radius. But anyone within 100 meters of the radio tower is going to get hit hard by those fears and paranoia, and they will be driven to do whatever it takes to get rid of the source of those fears.]
no subject
[Fortunately, he can't transform, or else there would be a lot of explosions.]
[Nevertheless, Otoha walks out of the training hall, katana in his hand. He twirls it idly while he looks around, and anyone who wanders nearby will need to move fast, because he's going to start trying to slice them up.]
no subject
[He knew it. He KNEW it. He looks at Nathan, a look of anger on his face, before he turns to the radio and draws his pistol.]
[But, oh look, there's a swordsman who's come running out of the training hall. Were the waiting for this? A clever excuse to get rid of him, maybe?]
Go ahead and try it! I'm not going down that easy!
[So tempting to kill him, eliminate the threat, his gun is RIGHT THERE... but no, he's not going to kill someone just for being mad at him. Thousands of people are like that... if he killed every one of them, he'd just attract more attention. He can bring this threat down non-lethally, there's enough law here to deal with it when he's been incapacitated.]
[So yeah, he's just going to charge at Otoha.]
no subject
[Well it sort of is, because this is someone clearly sent here by Eko. He knew the former Karas wouldn't give up so easily, but he was here first. This is his claim! He can slay as many mikura as he needs to. Machine enhancements or no, he can cut through them all. Maybe his yurine isn't here, but that doesn't mean he'll stop fighting.]
no subject
See, he's always been surrounded by people. He's from a big family, he worked with many brilliant minds, and even here he can never get any peace and quiet because of how noisy all the Bastion residents are. But that's okay, because it's not the noise that bothers him, it's silence.]
No! No, stop it, both of you!
[Nathaniel's biggest fear is for everyone to die and leave him alone. And with how Colin and Otoha are about to murder each other, the madness waves drive him to do the one thing he can think of to stop them: try to get between them and stop them from attacking each other.]
no subject
[Colin was so ready to take out the threat, but even with omnipresent Paranoia, his parents made DAMN SURE he wasn't going to turn into a psychopathic threat to the universe. So taking out Otoha is a secondary concern.]
[He probably can't stop Nathan from taking one cut.. but he can definitely tackle Nathan down and cover him. He throws his pistol at Otoha first, and his hand immediately goes to his waist. See, he's rather quick with grenades, for just this reason...]
Catch!
[He rips the grenade from his belt, popping the pin, and lobbing it up at Otoha's face next. He knows what's coming, he's not looking forward to it... but dammit, it's at least going to make dealing with Otoha more manageable.]
[He really hopes everyone else doesn't want to kill him, because he won't be in much of a condition to protect himself when the B&R grenade goes off...]
no subject
[He's alarmed for a moment, but even through the fluids he's going to keep going. Never abandon a mission. Die before you fail. He has to keep people safe. He has to do what he can. He has to, otherwise his life has no meaning.]
[So his accuracy is a lot worse, but he's still coming towards Colin, aiming to slice through him. He doesn't really want to kill Nathan too, but... well. Sacrifices have to be made sometimes, right?]
no subject
"Vaguely" was the word, because while the red hair and green dress clearly suggested Megaera D'Ashland... Most of the rest of the woman's body didn't. Megaera didn't have horns, after all. Nor red glowing eyes, a long devil-like tail, or cloven hooves in place of her usual booted legs. As monstrous as the form was, it was also beautiful in a strange, unearthly fashion.
Megaera had shifted to her true form as she ran towards the sound of the blast she'd heard a minute ago. There was something wrong, and she had to stop it. Even her panicked fear of revealing her true form had been overruled by the rage and desire to stop what was happening...
And then, she saw Otoha. Or rather, she saw something that resembled him, but was busy defecating, throwing up and coming at two people she more properly recognized with a katana. She didn't even manage to think, before her reflexes took control, adding targeted magic to the first words she spoke...]
Put the sword away. These people are no threat.
[To Colin and Nathaniel, it was nothing more than a now obviously familiar voice being extremely authoritative. To Otoha, it would attempt to slam against his mind, to tell him, on some level, that her words were true and should be followed.
Of course, it also might just turn him towards her if he resisted...]

Over at the Hospital...
Something's... Here...
[For the moment, she's narrowly resisting the urge to transform to her true form entirely and freak the hell out.
Who wants to bring her over the edge?]
Outside by the Barn
She goes around the barn until she can see straight to the radio tower, and there's...definitely something going on over there. There's a figure of...something, she can't quite tell, and more yelling, and her first instinct is to run over and help - but if anything she was told about trouble stuck in her head, it was that you do not go in alone. If you're by or in the barn or any of the buildings near it, Jane may call out to you,]
Hey! You can hear that too, right? That commotion? That doesn't seem good at all!
no subject
It should be okay, right? I mean, even if people do fight, the Bastion has that 'calm down' thing going on, so nobody should get hurt.
no subject
[Yelling still doesn't seem like a good sign of anything...also, hi Nanaki.]
no subject
[But she will come over to stand by where Jane is, so she can see what's going on over there too.]
no subject
I'm not sure it's happening over there, though. I know I heard yelling...and it looks like something is going on...
no subject
[It's a bit of a distance, so the violence would be done by the time they got over there, at least.]
