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.

Don't matter. Things get fucked up for a reason sometimes. Shit, that's cute as hell. Fuckin' cute. I'd be ruffling your hair up 'bout now if I wasn't fuckin' busy.

Hang on.

[ oooh, there's a turn, aaaand, looks like their destination is in sight. ]
mightythinice: It's two-tired. (A bicycle can't stand on its own.)

Yeah... guess so. [she didn't want to think that-- but if not for Riley and her getting infected, she would've never found out about her immunity. For all the good that it ended up doing her in the end.

Drowned, right at the fucking finish line. Class act Ellie.]


You're fucking weird, Bro. But you're cool, anyway. [HANGING ON TIGHT THOUGH, she looks down to make sure they didn't somehow miss Sarah, but she had a feeling the other girl was in her apartment]

[ There's a side smirk— half of a smile, and he makes no comment.
There's another sharp turn, and he shifts one of his hands to one of Ellie's wrists, holding on with a strong grip. Just in case.
Once he spots the apartment, he slows down until they are hovering right by the rooftop. Ellie can easily hop off onto the roof once Bro lets her go— which he does.

They're hovering steadily by now, and Bro feels like he can turn around to face Ellie now. ]


This it?
mightythinice: Really, it was just a play on words. (I just did a show on puns.)

[personal profile] mightythinice 2014-05-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! I bet she's inside, flipping out. [A pause] And I wouldn't blame her, this is scary stuff for this place.

[Even Ellie had had a moment of what the fuck? when the bombs first went off. It was so unexpected for Keeliai.

It was unexpected in general.]


I'll find her.
puppetfetish: (( 95. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-02 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Make sure she's okay. Uncle Bro's worried for her.
[ He keeps the rocketboard steady, awaiting Ellie to step off. His arms eventually cross over his chest as he watches her to be sure she has no difficulty stepping off.

Then— ]


—Yo, 'nother thing.
If your girly-friend is here, tell her you like her. Don't over think it. Don't make it complicated. Just do it.
Promise you it'll be better that way in the long run.

[ Bro, stop. Not your place to give advice like that. ]
mightythinice: They Neverland. (When Peter Pan punches...)

[personal profile] mightythinice 2014-05-02 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[once she hops off, she pushes her hair behind her ear. If only he knew, she'd already tried that once. It almost worked.]

Alright. Thanks for the ride, Bro.

I'll let you know as soon as I can if we're safe. Joel's gonna make us stay in the Earth Sector with him, I just know it.
puppetfetish: (( 22. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-02 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Tell Joel-daddy I said hey too. Look forward to meeting him.
Gimmie some skin before you head out.

[ ah yes. The infamous bro-fist. He's offering you some closed knuckles there, Ellie. Better not leave him hanging. It's the biggest Strider insult. ]
mightythinice: It's pretty handy. (I'm glad I know sign language.)

[personal profile] mightythinice 2014-05-02 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[she grins and presses her knuckles against him]

Alriiiiiight, brofist.

[+10 point for bro right then. Right there.]

See you!

[and off she goes]

[ and OFF HE GOES. A lot faster now that Ellie isn't aboard. He flies down the side of the roof and tilts the board to the side, grinding it slightly against the gutter before taking off in the opposite direction he came in.

He'll be checking in with you and Sarah. ]
