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.

[Looking at him, Darcy raised an eyebrow. It was true, he wasn't a very good liar, and she suspected there was more to it than all that. She didn't think it was the best time to push the point though. They needed people who could rescue out there and she didn't want to hold him back with questions.

Later though, he'd be hearing from her.]


Sure. So anyway. Know any place that might be safe until things cool down a bit?
nerdylilspidey: (did you just say something SMART?)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-04-23 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[As soon as she asked that, he felt his spider-sense rearing its ugly head again at the base of his neck. His attention immediately goes down to their feet. It's not obvious yet, but the building beneath them is shaking a little.]

Not on this rooftop, for starters. We'd better move.

[He hurries toward her, reaching to grab her by the hand so he could lead her to the edge of the building so they could get a move on. There must be someplace where everyone has started gathering, right?]
6collegecredits: (let me get this straight)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-04-23 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.]
nerdylilspidey: (jump Parker jump!)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-04-23 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
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.]
6collegecredits: (OH SNAP)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-04-24 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Darcy doesn't scream this time, but she's still got a near death-grip on Peter as they swung over the streets. It was kind of amazing, really, if it wasn't also partially terrifying. She thought it was something she could probably get used to, though.]

See anything promising?
nerdylilspidey: (late for class)

SORRY THIS IS SO LATE

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-04-30 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Near death-grip is fine. It's probably the best way to hold onto him, since he's quickly discovering that webswinging one handed is actually pretty difficult.]

Well, I see an area that's not covered in smoke and debris. Seems like a decent place to start.
6collegecredits: (uh oh)

IT'S ALL GOOD

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-05 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[She peeks over his shoulder at the indicated spot.]

Sounds like good a plan as any. Let's check it out.
nerdylilspidey: (jump Parker jump!)

<3

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-05 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peter nods and immediately redirects them toward that spot.]

Now we just have to hope that there aren't, I dunno, monster lizards waiting for us there.
6collegecredits: (eehhhh)

<3

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-05 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Darcy nods grimly.]

Yes. Monster lizards would be very, very bad.
nerdylilspidey: (can i think on it for a sec)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-05 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Sharp pointy things would be bad, too. Or people with guns. Or lasers.
6collegecredits: (I can take it!)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-06 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Let's hope that we find kittens, then. With free ice cream.
nerdylilspidey: (you're pretty amusing actually)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I am totally on board for kittens.
6collegecredits: (BUT FIRST BREAD)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-06 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Fingers crossed, then.

[She doesn't sound very positive about there being kittens, though.]
nerdylilspidey: (really - i'm okay)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Finger crossing's never worked for me.

[But that could just be because he's a Parker.]
6collegecredits: (i see what's going on here)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-10 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it's a good thing you've got me here, then.

[And with that she's crossing the fingers of her right hand. She isn't always lucky, but she could pretend.]
nerdylilspidey: (jump Parker jump!)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-10 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That actually is really comforting.

[And now that they're almost at this possibly secure location, Peter's going to swing them up and onto a nearby roof to check it out before actually heading down there.]
6collegecredits: (the things I do for you guys)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-10 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Darcy lets go of him and steps away when they land on the roof. She peeks over to edge to asses how well her luck was paying off this time around.]

Well, I don't see any kittens.
nerdylilspidey: (he's not serious right? ...right?)

[personal profile] nerdylilspidey 2014-05-12 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see any monster lizards either, so that's still a plus.

[He then looks around at the buildings surrounding the area.] Nothing on fire or crumbling to pieces. That's a good sign, right?
6collegecredits: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] 6collegecredits 2014-05-12 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
True. True. I do appreciate the lack of monster anything.

[She bobs her head in agreement.] Should we take a closer look?
