Day 307 ★ 002 ★ [Open]

[darkshooter]

Who: Black★Rock Shooter and whoever wants to encounter her.
Open: [very much Y - hop right in.]
When: Day 307, afternoon
Where: Route A is in central Bastion, near the monument. Route B is literally anywhere within the settlement.
What: New face, new place - part deux. She's in a better frame of mind, so there won't be any hostility this time around...unless, perhaps, you happen to be someone from these events.)
Format: Action brackets, though I can try my hand at another type if you'd like. Also, multiple option setup inspired by Miki's entry. Tag the one you want - or both, if it strikes your fancy (and/or we plot something out).
Warnings: Don't know what'll happen when/if the muses she encountered in her previous post show up, but - other than that, no warnings.

(( Scenario [A] - Impact Point!! Central Bastion))



[Whatever business you may have around this part of the settlement today, and whether or not the day was normal to start with... basically, this happens. Anyone who chances to look at the sky sees her shape coming down, AND...]

[SLAM!]

[You now have a Shooterish hole in the ground. The monument is untouched; she was a safe distance from it.]

[Had she actually died, that in-game death message would have been appropriate.]




[And...after a time, she may or may not be climbing out of it. Even falling from such a height seems to have only dazed her.]

[But that's...not the same as saying that she's totally unbothered, or that the impact wasn't unpleasant. It was, and it smarts, but in the way that an annoying injury does.]

(( Scenario [B] - Exploration ))



(( BGM: The Bastion - Wonder [Temple of Elemental Evil: Hommlet] ))

[Would you believe she's actually not stirring a fuss, even after all that? There is much to see here, much that captivates her, and she has nothing against traveling all over to see and learn about it all.]

[Out in the open, at a place of business, wherever - if it exists in the Bastion, you might see her there. And by default, there won't be any aggression; she'll actually feel rather good on the whole by now. Except, of course, for the nagging detail of the people she left behind in the wild...]

[Your move, responder. Where does your meeting with her take place?]

[Well, that sure was a thing that happened.]

[The Helmsman had just been going about his usual "lay in the grass and appreciate it a lot" habit when the impact had happened, and he's a short distance away eyeing Shooter as she climbs out with clear suspicion.]

[The hell is this]

[After the whole debacle out on the Skyway, Alucard has been largely content to leave the new arrival be. Sure, he'd informed Paarthurnax what had happened, but otherwise? The girl hasn't caused problems yet, so he's not about to go out of his way to interfere with her.

...Although he will probably look back on this moment and kind of regret his decision to take a nap under one of the donut trees, because really, why wouldn't someone new and curious about the place they had found look at the trees full of delicious baked goods? It is a terrible place to try and stay out of someone's way while they calm down.]

[Finding her wasn't hard. He's got her signature, he can track her anywhere she may go...]

[That said, she's in the middle of the Bastion, and she's not being hostile at the moment. Right now, causing a fight to break out would be both counter-productive and foolish.]

[So here he is, some distance away, just watching her. Intensely.]

[... Megaera doesn't seem particularly surprised by someone landing in the Bastion like this. At all. Kinda odd, really. She does, however, seem kind of worried.

She leans directly over the Shooter-shaped hole in the ground, looking down.]

Uh, are you all right?

[If Shooter wanders west of the Monument, past the Distillery and next to the farms, she'll find a large, three-story building. The door is open, leading into a vehicle bay lined with various tools and machinery for building and repairing things. A couple large objects are apparently in the process of being worked on, a mechanical bull and some sort of aerial vehicle, but no one appears to be here. Correction: no one appears to be on this floor, as faint sounds are coming down the stairwell from the floor above, first a sound that Shooter may or may not recognize as the loud fan inside a fume hood, which looses volume as it shuts down, replaced by the sounds of clinking glass and the occasional footstep.]
