[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?

[Patchouli is still awake at this hour. Since, you know, bizarre sleep schedule. She has indeed been kinda curious about why her light went out. Probably just crappy wiring, she reasoned. Anyway, hearing Colin yelling, she jumps out the window of her bedroom.

The third-floor window of her bedroom. It's a good thing that she can use her floating ability to slow down her descent. She'd probably do people even less good if she broke any bones.]


What's even going on?!

I wish I had an answer for you, other than the fact that we seem to be falling!

[Yeah, if you wanna keep talking to him, you're going to have to follow him, because he isn't about to slow down to explain things to people.]

If you've got a weapon, get it, then head for the skyway!

I don't have a weapon, but I'm on my way!

[She follows after him. Honestly, though, maybe a weapon would be a good idea, she can use her magic only so much.]

I'm not going yet, I need to make sure everyone else gets out.

[Sorry, Patchouli. Colin's a bit of a busybody that way.]

EVERYONE! WAKE UP! WE'VE GOT TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF THE BASTION! KIDS AND PARENTS TO THE BARGE, EVERYONE ELSE TO THE SKYWAY!

Alright. Well, in that case, maybe I should... go find a weapon, or something. It probably would help more than just picking up some random stick or a rock.

[She... slows and is about to go off in a different direction.]

Grab a weapon, and if you've got any easy-to-carry food, grab that. NOTHING else. You don't know how long you're going to be out there.

Alright. I'm just gonna... go scavenge for something...

[She goes off to go find some form of weapon as fast as possible.]
