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.

If you're sure. I don't want anyone getting hurt.

[She offers a sympathetic smile to Clara. By this time, however, the Kedan children are getting restless, tired of telling their own story- which has become something about frogs and chickens.]

I think they need a change of entertainment.

I'll definitely come with, though if you like it, I might have to come back, all right?

I don't think it's like that. Telepaths've gone there before without that effect. So long as you don't try to talk to him, I guess.

You say that as if I would not sooner put my ring away than risk harming these good people. I am well aware of the consequences of our proximity, and the terror wrought by those wielding such great power irresponsibly.

[More aware than many, perhaps, but such is the fate of those living in the Forgotten Zone.]

But harm has already come to these people, in fire, and in disease. Before anything else, that is what we must address.

[Darcy doesn't resist as he leads her to the edge, though she does come to an abrupt halt when she gets a view over the edge. While she felt slightly more prepared for any unorthodox methods of traveling, she was still hesitant.]

So you're going to Tarzan us out of here? [She gave him a questioning look.]

I don't have enough to feed everyone and not for very long, but I'll contribute what I can.

I guess I should have thought of a radio, too.

Rapunzel looks surprised at the revelation about Derek. It still amazed her that there were other people who could heal like her.

Looking at Stiles she understood his concern. "Maybe we should wait a few more minutes. Make sure that everything is...over."

"Thank you!"

Stiles is gripping Derek's wrists back now, giving the man a pointed glare.

"Okay? Please, Derek."

His heart is racing, and he's just as curious to know what's going on as they are. But the thought of sending these two out into what's looking like a war zone...well, that's not okay.

"Please stay here for now?"

Uh. Basically?

[Peter looks down over the edge of the roof, then turns to search for a spot to fire a line of webbing. In the next second, he's getting a hold around Darcy's waist and holding her close to him, so she won't fall.]

..Yeah. Hang on tight.

[And then he's launching them both off of the roof, springing high up into the air first before he shoots a line for the next tallest building in the vicinity. Once the line hits and goes taut in his grip does the actual webswinging start, making their way over the city streets to find someplace safe to stay for the time being.]
nerdylilspidey: (let me read you this science book...)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-04-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[The call has him stopping in his tracks -- Or at least releasing his web line and landing on the side of the opposite building to see what's going on. Not that it's difficult to see the building falling apart, but still.]

What floor are they on?!

[Even as he responds, he's searching for his best entry points. The bottom level is obviously a no go. The whole place looks like it'll come down with even the slightest disruption to the exterior. It's a good thing that Peter's pretty sure he could slide right in through an open window and not bring anything down with him.]

[ after finding a safe area and getting his shoulder more-or-less bandaged up and treated, Akito goes back out with Quintus as soon as things have settled into a state of mildly less dangerous. he may not have any personal affiliation with any of the kedan, but if he can help he isn't about to just sit around.

eventually they both get tired and anxious - Akito worries that Quintus might become a target, and Quintus worries about Akito's wounds, as well as Hawke and Skulduggery.

which is why Akito ends up at Hawke's suite, Quintus in tow. the hatchling wants to check on his 'parent', while Akito wants to sleep until he wakes up back home. where there aren't crazy turtles and talking skeleton men and the world didn't just blow up around him.

so, Hawke, have a turtle who wants to check up on you! he is currently not panicking and only mildly worried. make sure it stays that way! ]


((i hope this is alright! if not, just let me know!))

[She was still in shock.]

[It was the only reasonable explanation for how Midii could still be so calm. Despite the dirt and grime and the scratches marring her skin...surrounded by chaos and panick...her expression was unreadable, eyes distant, and voice as soft as if they were discussing the weather.]

[Slowly, her eyes traveled down to her hands. Her arms. Looking over her petite frame, and the faint tears in her clothes, before turning back to him.]


Flesh wounds. I barely feel them.

[Her attention then turned to the fallen kedan, and despite everything, her first instinct was the help the poor man up, kneeling down to offer what little support she could.]

Use my shoulder. It's alright.

Lois can't help it; she smiles. She's not generally a tea person, but given how much she has to do right now...

"Well, then, as well as helping us with music, we'll absolutely pay for some catering of anything with caffeine in it--and food if you've got it." Lois Does Not Cook.

"Some hot water will be all I need. I keep some tea leaves with me at all times," Iroh said. "Would you like some before I begin? "

"Just hold it steady and don't be surprised if it gains weight. Or some water gets created outside the container," Zelgadis said.

He can hear Stiles' heart thudding, and Derek sighs, nodding. "Fine. I'll stay put."

"We've got that around, absolutely," until things get screwed over, but they'll tackle that as it comes. Then she blinks with more than a little surprise. "Ah, sure, if it's on hand. I'm pretty sure that coffee has long since gone off to meet its maker."

Newsroom coffee generally does, after all.

"I'll just have to make it. It won't take five minutes, depending on how quickly the water can be heated. Though if you just have the water, I can heat it myself."

Because Iroh is very good at using his firebending powers to get water to the right temperature for tea. Because what else would you use powerful pyrokinesis for besides making tea and getting the stove lit?
wherethestoryis: (Double-checking the facts)

[personal profile] wherethestoryis 2014-04-24 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Lois waves in the direction of the water cooler. Because of course they hashed one together. "We've got water over there, and some more in a room. After that mess with the water a while ago, we made a point of stocking some just-in-case.

Heat it yourself?" she adds curiously.
whitelotustile: (embarassed)

[personal profile] whitelotustile 2014-04-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"It's a talent of mine," Iroh said. "I hope you don't mind firebenders."

Really, he figured it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't like this place had his home nation launch a 100-year war on them.
wherethestoryis: (Questioning)

[personal profile] wherethestoryis 2014-04-24 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't mind at all--I've never even heard of them. What is it, exactly?" She is avidly curious now. Sorry, Iroh has a reporter with a long-term interest in superheroes and superpowers now on a brand new trail.

Rapunzel smiles and lets out a breath of relief. She was worried like crazy over all of her friends that could be out there, but at least she could keep track of two of them for the time being and make sure they were safe.

"Good. Now maybe we should do like Stiles said and stay away from the windows..."
skybluejeep: (Derek)

[personal profile] skybluejeep 2014-04-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm glad somebody around here listens to reason," he grumbles, rolling his eyes. But a second later he's got his arms wrapped around Derek's shoulders, hugging him tightly.

"C'mon, sourwolf. If we're gonna go play superheroes, we need some time to prepare anyway."

"It's an ability people from my country have. We can draw the heat from our bodies into fire and manipulate it using the chi flow as our bodies move," Iroh said, demonstrating by producing a small flame in his hand with a gesture. "It's said we learned from the dragons of our world, who are natural firebenders. Other nations in our world have different elements they can bend. The core principles are the same, but each element has its own philosophy and style taught to bend it. Or philosophies."

Iroh was quite good at learning from other elements and adapting them to firebending, but part of it was to understand how each element was both alike and different from the others. Neither fire nor lightning didn't flow the way water did, but they did flow.
wherethestoryis: (Smile)

[personal profile] wherethestoryis 2014-04-24 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Lois listens attentively, mentally taking notes on everything. Chi flow--eastern philosophies, then, which is not something she's often familiar with. "What other elements do people work in?"

And then, after a moment, unable to resist: "Dragons? You have dragons?"

Because that's just cool.
