[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?

[A short time later, Raile came out onto the skyway and began to look around for Zulf and Zia; he was sure Nathaniel could handle letting everyone else know the specifics and he wanted to make sure his favorite people got out safely.]

Raile!

[Oh look, there's Papa Bird, hurrying over in a fuss.]

There you are! We were worried sick about you!

[Which is to say that Zulf was worried sick, and that's enough worrying for around eight other people.]
followsthevoice: (Kid's mighty upset)

Where's Zia?

[The question was sharp and had a snap at the end harsh enough to bring even the worriest of warts back to ground level. His eyes scanned the camp but he couldn't see her for the life of him.]
fuckthemancers: (Tear your heart out for what)

[personal profile] fuckthemancers 2014-09-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
She's here- although if you'd taken any longer, neither of us would have been.

[Zulf knows better than to think he can go against Zia when she's determined, after all, especially when he's about to be very hypocritical in doing the thing he's telling her not to do.]
followsthevoice: (The truth is harsh)

[A small noise escaped his mouth that could only be described as a soft sigh before he took a heavy seat on the ground.

Sorry it took s'long. I had t'lend Nathanial my city crest, Bastion was runnin' low on power an' it needed a kickstart.
fuckthemancers: (I set my sail)

[Adjusting his own dress, Zulf kneels down besides him and frowns.]

So it was something to do with the Cores... One hasn't been found in quite some time.
