[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 few of the turtle ducks quack at Red in what they seem to think is a threatening manner.]

They're not thrilled about it, but I think so.

[ (So cute....) ]

If they keep up the noise, I have someone who can put them to sleep. [ Just as an offer. Quacking sounds is probably the last people need. ]
daughterofursa: (raising my only eyebrow)

What do you mean?
littlerat: (?? like fairy sticks)

[personal profile] littlerat 2014-09-05 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sleep. [ Uhh... ] Doze them off for a while. It's harmless.
daughterofursa: (tea is not the answer to everything)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-09-05 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow she knows what sleep is.]

Like a drug or something?
littlerat: (green glasses git)

[ r u sure ]

No, they don't take anything. It's just something some of my pokémon can do. It looks like a yawn, but it'll make whoever it's aimed at get drowsy and fall asleep.

Lapras can sing them a lullaby too, but that might hit the other people if they listen to him.

[Just because she's not wearing pajamas doesn't mean she wasn't sleeping before this. She just doesn't have pajamas.]

Oh. So it's a... magic thing.

[She is still not clear on what magic can and can't do. There seem to be a lot of different kinds.]
littlerat: (has homies)

[ Well... ]

I guess you can call it that. It's a pokémon thing to me.

Nothing where I come from has abilities like that.
littlerat: (floods and gas leaks)

[ There's an amused sound. ]

All of our homes are pretty different that way. [ a short pause ] Anyway, I'm going to put a pokémon on watch. Some people are worried about monsters showing up.
daughterofursa: (if it comes to it)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-09-06 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Good idea. We should have people on watch.

[Though Zuko is less concerned about creatures, who should know better than to bother a group of this size, and more worried about the raiders the Ura mentioned.]
littlerat: (six dogs)

[personal profile] littlerat 2014-09-06 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ura raiders who.

Red nods, standing up. ]
Hopefully we'll get some news about what's going on soon too.
daughterofursa: (if it comes to it)

[personal profile] daughterofursa 2014-09-06 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zuko nods, glancing back towards the Bastion. The sounds have stopped, but she hasn't seen any of the group who stayed at the Monument show up.]

Hopefully. Then we'll have a better idea of where we're going from here.
