[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?]

[Because she knows her senses are dulled by the lack of sleep. Adrenaline only helps so much. Edea shifts her stance so that one side of her leans more toward Saix.
Weapons appearing out of nowhere wouldn't actually startle her too much, even in her current state. She's used to that.]
no subject
I suppose we became too confident.
no subject
But when someone tells me "this is a safe place" you don't exactly expect that to be conditional.
no subject
[It's usually been more minor, along the lines of "Work for your food and a place to stay". A regular line of thought, really. And...]
I wonder if this has something to do with the Cores. They are what powers the place.
no subject
[This is the first she's hearing of them, but her mind does sort of flash back to her life before the Bastion. Hopefully the problems that arose from the crystals are not the sort of things that are going to happen here.]
no subject
Yes. They're considerably more powerful than they are, and they're what the Bastion runs on. From what I understand, the Bastion isn't actually completed... but it will be once enough Cores have been installed in it.
no subject
[Otherwise she would imagine somebody to have found enough of them by now. She doesn't expect rebuilding the Bastion to be everyone's top priority but surely it was high enough for several of them.]
no subject
no subject
[This is not an exciting idea, especially if cores are going to be hard to find. At least there are enough people with combat experience that they can be out on the Skyway to search.]
no subject
[Assuming he doesn't fall through one of those sink holes and dies or some such thing, anyway.]
no subject
[None of this does much to calm her nerves, but she does appreciate all the information. She sighs, trying to help herself ease the tension that's gathered in her muscles.]
Have you been here when they sought cores in the past?
no subject
no subject
I wonder just how much of all this we don't know about. And if that lack of knowledge is going to do harm.
no subject
no subject
[On both matters. And for a while that's enough for Edea to mull over. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Why would someone make this place rely on an object for power and then not tell everyone about it? Are things going to get worse before they get better?]
Ugh this whole thing is a big mess.
[Tiz would be disappointed at their lack of organization.]
no subject
Our biggest problem is one of organization. I'm positive I'm not the only one who's thought it. We're managing but not as well as we could be.
If there was some sort of leader or group in charge of things, that would help make matters easier.

[One she intends to be around for, even if she doesn't think she'll have much to contribute. Edea shifts her weight from foot to foot a few times before she asks.]
So how long have you been here?
no subject
no subject
[Boy, Edea sure is still bitter about being the only one of her world here. Between her tone and the way she's crossing her arms you'd have to be oblivious not to notice.]
no subject
[It's stated bluntly, without much sympathy. Then again... That tends to be a weakpoint of his.]
no subject
no subject
Haven't you seen the ash statues?
no subject
[This is one of the few things she will be stubbornly optimistic about. Her friends are not dead. End of discussion.]
