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.

Yeah. Looking is good. For shelter and maybe for help. Maybe we get to a high point?

"Can do. Mostly I've been trying to get people to the 'walking wounded' state." He considered the map again. "Current plan is to circle through like so. Who else do we have out there?"

"Well, it is easy to be flattering when in a conversation with a charming young woman," Iroh said. "Thank you."

She didn't expect him agree to sit around and do nothing, it wasn't something the Avatar would ever do. So Korra only nodded once at his answer. Later she would have to tell him that she would be staying at Mako's for a while, but for not they had more pressing issues.

"They're all over the city, mainly where there's food and water. Someone set it up like that."

But then she realized he probably meant something else.

"Wait, like keeping it away from here?"

"Then I'd find people who were feeling well enough to work. I wouldn't let Superman out on the street if he had a cold, and the guy's name is Superman."

She frowns at Zatanna, drawing her lower lip into her mouth so she can bite it.

"What are you doing here? If it's something I can help with, we can at least get it done faster so you can get to bed sooner."
alphatar: (Unsure smile)

[Korra manages to only let a tiny bit of a laugh escape her as she speaks, despite wanting to just bust out laughing.]

Out of all the eighty-six year old women I've met, I'd say she's as cute as a baby turtle duck. And I say that as the current Avatar, not the last one who was her husband.

[Look what you've gotten yourself into now, Bro. These are your life choices. Think them over while Korra keeps helping your body fight off those spores.]

Let's hope that we find kittens, then. With free ice cream.

It was true. She was seeing him in a new light. But underneath it all she could still see a need to take care of an out of hand situation and to see that people are cared for. She looked up at him and shook her head. She's a bit unkempt, and there's some abnormal dirt about her, but there's no visual harm on her.

"No, the suite I was in didn't get hit. I'm not sure about the others since I came right here, but the explosions seemed to be farther off."

She took a deep breath and tucked in any outward signs of fear. She held a determined expression. "What can I do? I came to help however I can."
nerdylilspidey: (you're pretty amusing actually)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I am totally on board for kittens.

[He looks upward and around at the suggestion.]

If there's any high points left around here.

[From inside, everything seems on the verge of collapse and for a moment it makes Peter wary of even walking. Then again, he's got his webs. Praying that he's got enough of the stuff in his webshooters to make this work, he makes his way to the bottom level, securing anything that was looking dangerously unsteady with his webbing.

Once he's down there, it isn't long before he finds a group of the residents huddling together in a corner of one of the rooms. Letting out a small sigh of relief, Peter calls back outside.]


I see them!

[Then he turns back and fires some webbing over the walls and ceiling immediately above them, giving them some small measure of relief. With a quick word of reassurance that he's there to help, Peter starts guiding them back up the way he came in, where everyone can be pulled out of the building to safety.]

As you can see, being near a Green Lantern does power us, much as we power you, but we can perform adequately without your presence. Our purposes are somewhat different from yours, after all.

[The Green Lanterns are an intimidating force to behold, and their creativity and power can overcome even the greatest of obstacles, but Saint Walker intends for those occasions to be the exception rather than the rule for Blue Lanterns. They seek to bring about peace in a gentler manner, and to heal the festering wounds underneath the surface.]

Were we - and you - facing some sort of terrible threat?

"Perhaps three hours. That, and food, should be sufficient for now." She hopes. At the very least she'll be able to press on, which is the important part. She hates to take the time, but in the absence of advanced magitechnology or an abundance of pineapple gels, it's all she can do.

"As to the spores, I'd need to look at them in their raw form for much concrete data," Raine says with a grimace. She's of much a similar opinion on the topic. "But I can tell you that exposure reads, to my artes, very much like poison. I'd hypothesize that the spores need to be internalized somehow in order to harm-- ingestion, inhalation, maybe an open wound. I can neutralize them in a person with a simple recover spell, but not if it's been a significant amount of time. I'd need more testing to be completely sure of the exact boundaries," she adds, anticipating a request for details. "So far exposure doesn't appear to be lethal, just unpleasant and possibly incapacitating if left alone or if combined with other problems."

[When Akito walks away Hawke leaves him be. The man hobbles to his chair near his console and all but slumps into it. Everything hurts but he and pain are close friends by now. It's his inability to do anything that bothers him most.

His eyes close and he just sits for a moment. There's no way he could possibly get any sleep at the moment but he knows he needs at least some small amount of rest for his broken body. When he hears Akito approach his eyes open again and he turns.]


Let's just stick with Hawke. Mister implies that I'm actually a respectable person.

[He grins.]

[ He hugs her a little tighter, for a moment, then pecks the tip of her nose. ]

Let's get you somewhere that doesn't break you down.

[ Only after she acknowledges that does he move to open the door and hold t for her. ]
magicalpadawan: (not entirely there)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-06 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks a little distracted for a moment, but nods and picks up her cane again.]

Yeah, please. I forgot how much I don't like this.
trainwrecked: (Handsome)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-05-06 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He steers her out, a worried smile softening his features as he waits for her to secure her suite - or just close the door, or whatever in-between - before responding. ]

How much? Poison apple size, or big fat pumpkin size?

[ Distracting her? Distracting her. Also motioning the direction which he has in mind (to hire a bike, to get to the Head), without missing a beat. ]
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-05-06 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
They were going more after food and water, than after damage. When people're starved and exhausted... I guess the rest'll be easy picking.
magicalpadawan: (o haaaay)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-06 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She just closes and locks the door before following along with him, and gives him a slightly amused glance.]

I'm leaning towards big fat pumpkin size, but I'm not sure if I appreciate being compared to a princess who can talk to chipmunks.

[personal profile] philosophe 2014-05-06 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there any thing in them? We might at least make something of them.
trainwrecked: (We-ell!!)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-05-06 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean you can't talk to chipmunks? What's magic ever do?

[ Beat, a few steps later, ]

Wait. Princess? Is that one of those Disney things that I've been hearing about?

[ Yeah, he actually did see Snow White. He's never admitting to it. ]
philosophe: (Default)

[personal profile] philosophe 2014-05-06 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks briefly confused at that, frowning before taking a moment to stare intently at Temeraire.]

I -- ..[There is a slightly shaky breath, and he nods.] Yes, my dear, I was -- only distracted for a moment, I think.
philosophe: (dammit joly get off me)

[personal profile] philosophe 2014-05-06 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Combeferre will likely be doing the same, having returned from wherever he was finding bandages and possibly useful things. He chances a glance at Enjolras.]

She is with us, then?
magicalpadawan: (Default)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-06 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I could, but I'd sound like a crazy person. [Not that she's not one, but she gives Bucky a darkly amused glance at that.]

Yeah, Snow White. It came out forever ago, you might know it. [....Well, at least he's distracted her enough to go for gentle teasing.]
