Event | Console Crash Chaos | Phase One
Characters: ALL!
Date: April 17-30, 2014
Location: Keeliai
Situation: In an unexpected and bold attack by Malicant, the console system is completely shut down while food and supply locations all around the city are targeted by bombings.
Warnings/Rating: Explosions! Possible descriptions of related aftermaths, injuries, death, etc.
Shortly after eight in the morning of the 17th, the consoles experience a strange glitching effect. They'll display 15-20 seconds of static, interrupting anything being done on them at the time, before going utterly dark. No power, no signal, completely offline even to detection of their normal bio-mechanical signatures. No amount of energy influx will get them going again, though taking them apart (or trying to) will still cause them to melt into goo.
Within minutes of the console shutdown, explosions will begin ripping through Keeliai. The bombs are all timed as close to simultaneous as coordinating a city-wide attack can be, with many going off within seconds of each other, throwing the thriving morning rush into chaos. They tear into businesses and across public spaces, collapsing walls and blowing piles of debris into the streets. Places of high traffic quickly become evident as prime targets: marketplaces, hospitals, schools and cafes. The streets take only moments to fill with panicking, screaming kedan trying to pull their injured fellows out of harm's way. All told, the explosions take place across approximately a 10-minute stretch and their explosive yields are fairly high.
In addition to the bombs that cause destruction through their blasts, smaller bombs are going off around the city that specifically target food and water supplies, particularly where large stocks of it were kept such as grocers, produce markets, and the like. Rather than cause mass damage, these explosions spray out a fine mist of spores. Any perishables in their immediate area that are splattered develop an oozing black mold within minutes, eventually breaking down organic substances that turn to foul smelling rot and release their own mist, perpetuating the cycle. While skin contact with the mist doesn't harm, inhaling or ingesting it will produce shakes, fever, vomiting with a cumulative effect that has the potential to be fatal. It is much slower to infect the water supply but the sheer volume of rotting perishables will eventually put enough of the spores to taint water sources, approximately 6-8 hours after the original bombings.
The police force are out as soon as possible and within the hour are helping move the injured to safer locations with Evandau in charge, right in their midst and shoulder to shoulder with his subordinates. Not being stockpiles for any of the apparent targets, many of the Foreigner residences have been left undamaged and, wary of putting them in further danger by collecting large groups in public spaces, Foreigners may even be asked to take in a few individuals or a kedan family.
Despite the number of explosions, there are far more reports of injuries as opposed to casualties. The person or persons (or That Bad Guy) responsible for this were, for this attack at least, more intent on damage than on death.

Closed to the Hal's
Except when the bombs hit there was too much chaos. By himself he could only help move the injured, one kedan at a time and while he did what he could, the knowledge that he had the ability to do more burned in the back of his mind until he couldn't ignore it any longer. He ran back to his place and pulled the ring and lantern out from under the bed, charged his ring and raced back into the fray. He's glowing green, evidence of the protective field being active, but he's still in his soot stained flight jacket instead of the standard issue green and black uniform of the Corps. That's still a privilege he considers himself unworthy of. But now he's able to hold buildings up, carry people and even sterilise food and he does so as he heads towards the one building he's avoided this entire time.
He doesn't know if the reason it takes him so long to get there is because he's trying to avoid it or if it's because there are so many people that need help, but eventually he reaches his counterpart's place.
He was picked for his ability to overcome fear. Hal takes a deep breath before hammering on the door.]
Hey, you in there?!
Halcest let's do this
Still, his own troubles didn't concern the chaos that was going on right now. He had been in his room when everything had begun, and superhero or not Hal, too, was out doing his best to help. He may not have his ring any more but hell if others were going to suffer. He could still do stuff even without his ring, had been for a long time. He didn't need a stupid ring to prove himself to anybody.
After a while of helping out Hal eventually returns back to his suite in order to take a short break, but before he can do that there's a hammering on his door accompanied with the last person Hal wants to hear anytime soon.]
No. [He snaps out before he can think twice about it and turns on his swivel chair away from the door. Yeah, like hell if he's going to talk to the asshole and pretend that everything is alright.]
complete nsfw thread right here
Okay, you're fine. I know I screwed up and I'm sorry, but could you open the damn door!
cw: hal jordan
I've got no reason to listen to you. [He's not even a Lantern anymore, so suck on that Hal.]
you mean tw
[He could be stubborn, but being stubborn at the expense of other's was something Hal couldn't put up with.]
w/e its the same with these two anyway
And I just did it. Now scram and leave me alone.
...true
Then what's this I hear about 'Green Lantern Korra'?
[He already flipped out when he first heard it, now he needs to flip out again.]
such losers
There's another Green Lantern and her name is Korra. I thought that was pretty obvious.
[Ugh why can't he just go away. It's not he's going to make things any better.]
no subject
Who gave you the right to add another to the ranks?!
[While he's done it before, it was under different circumstances and that had been his role at the time.]
no subject
And of course, this Hal obviously Is Not Pleased with what his counterpart is doing, and it shows clearly in his face as he glares at the other.]
What the fuck do you think you're doing?!
no subject
Being done with watching you throw a tantrum and disrespect the Corps.
no subject
You're in no position to speak yourself. [He snaps back without really thinking about it.]
no subject
I know I've made mistakes, but I've owned up to them unlike you.
no subject
Funny, I don't seem to see that at all.
no subject
The most powerful weapon in the universe and you just throw it out where anyone could find it. So I'm sorry for what I did, but right now I have to clean up your mess.
no subject
My mess? My mess? Who was the fucker who killed me in the first place? Who let himself get overtaken by fear? Who turned against everything we've lived for in our lives just for power?
[That's the crux of the entire matter - that Hal - the other Hal, Hal the Great and Almighty and Ever Fearless - actually let fear take over him. And if even he fell to it, then what chance had he?]
Don't you even remember what dad told us? What he said? That its our job to be fearless! To remember the courage inside of us! And you just threw that all away in a fucking heartbeat! Don't talk to me about messes when you haven't even fixed your own!
[He stops after that, if only because he's run out of breath, panting to catch said breath but continues to glare at Hal all the same. He's done with your bullshit, Hal. He's so done with it all.]
no subject
I screwed up! I'm only human. [He doesn't want to admit it, but bringing up their father is hitting a lot of sore points. He falls silent, he no longer wants to yell.] I have never been fearless. Fear always has and always will be a part of my life. I know I'm not living up to dad's words. [Words he's never heard his dad say, but if this Hal says he did say them it's good enough for him.
Hal's always wondered if his dad would be proud of him despite everything he's done and it's things like this that make him lean towards no.]
I screw up all the time. I know, but this isn't about me. You're using me as an excuse to dig yourself a bigger hole and I'm not going to enable that.
no subject
(There's a saying we have on Earth: I'm only human. We say it because we're afraid, we say it because we've screwed up.)
As much as he wants to Hal can't find the energy inside of him to flare up again, and he just slumps back down to his chair, tired and exhausted, just so done with all of this. He never asked for this, never for this life. He knew he was never cut out for this life and he was trying, god he was trying, but--if even the other Hal can't do it, then how could he? What chance did he have?]
Fear is part of your life, but so is courage. [He eventually says, the only thing he can say - the words that Carol told him, the words that gave him the strength to go up against Parallax.] And that's all we need to overcome that fear.
no subject
[While Hal doesn't take the shadow he casts into account, he can take into account that while he's had years to grow out of Abin Sur's shadow, this Hal hasn't had that opportunity.]
no subject
I don't need a ring to prove myself.
