Event: Core [Day 61]

[bastionmods]

For more details, or if you have any questions, please see the OOC post.

For this event, Player characters will be split into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A consists of any characters who arrived in the Bastion before Day 61. Group B consists of any characters who arrived in the Bastion on Day 61. Please keep your posts to the threads that have the heading that corresponds to your respective group.

There are two goals that need to be met:

1: Group A must locate Group B and safely bring them to the Bastion.
2: Someone must bring the Core back to the Bastion.

The second goal is time sensitive. If the Core is not found in time, it will disappear from the Skyway.

This event will consist of free-form tagging. There is no set tagging order, so feel free to have your characters respond to occurrences as you see fit.

All important threads are listed below:

Group A starting thread
Group B starting thread
Group A: at The Melting Pot
Group A: searching the stalls
Groups A and B meet up

[Oh that's...not a good sign.]

I...hang on, I'm going to use Soul Perception.

[And Maka goes silent, concentrating his senses outwards--in the direction the Peckers went as well as the circumference of their "world."

The energy bearing down on his senses causes him to gasp, as though struck in the stomach, he clutches at his head and shakes it to break the connection.]

...Th...there's...

[Did he...get that right?]

In the direction they went off...there's a bunch of baby Peckers and one--big one. Boss, probably. N-not too far away from that, there are...there are survivors! Two survivors!

Maka!

[Seeing Maka nearly collapse, Rin went to his side, not so much catching him but offering a shoulder to lean against at the very least. The revelation of survivors, while certainly not a new thing to them, was surprising to happen on a supply and Core run. That certainly made things more difficult.]

How far off are they?

[ Marie was already right at his other side, so she gets an arm around him in a gesture of obvious concern as well. Fussing over Maka is a cooperative sport. ]

[...You guys, stop.]

Three blocks away. We should be able to get to them in time.

If you're ready to walk, we can go as a group.

[ All amusement is staying inside. ]

[As the group hurries along, eventually they will come to a crossroads in the Melting Pot.]
