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.

This old thing. Shit, I dunno. Skate board. Skatey board flyin' thingy. Flyboard.
Think I could pick up a date on this hog? Think hell fuckin' yes.

Kinda difficult for two people to ride it though.
They gotta hang on tight.

[ which he is ok with for the most part. ]
alphatar: (Happy Smiling Radiant Friendly Greeting)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-02 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Flyboard. I like that. [Someone mentioned those to her once, but she can't remember who it was at the moment.] I'm flying and I want to ride it.

[But she's getting carried away, as she tends to do around Bro.]

You didn't breathe in any of those black spores, did you?
puppetfetish: (( 71. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-02 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
—Maybe. Not sure. Tried not to.
I've been trying to do my share for the community— give people lifts and help and all that good shit. Motherfuckin' Super man here, holla'.

[ Bro wrinkles his nose. ]

I'll be fine.
alphatar: (Greeeeat Annoyed Miffed)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-02 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Korra squints her eyes as she flies next to him. Her morning's been terrible from before the explosions went off and she's not about to let it get worse knowing that Bro might be carrying the spores.]

You'll be fine if I can check to see if you have them. [As a healer, Korra knows all too well what "I'll be fine." really means.

Hell, she says it more often than she should.]
puppetfetish: (( 4. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, we're doing that now, are we.

[ The tone of voice he is using is making this sound scandalous, but he's obviously just being a little snot and teasing with her. ]

What are you gonna do, doctor?
Give me a shot? Do I need to bend over?

[ bro.... ]
alphatar: (Shocked Surprised Nooo)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. my. god. BRO.

There isn't a lot of ways to diffuse Korra's determination when she's thinking as a healer, but even she can't stop herself from laughing.]


Just don't fall off your board, this will only take a second.

[A flat green line scans him from head to foot once and the ring gives it prognosis.]

"Contaminated."

[The smile falls off her face and she looks over at Bro as they fly, her hair seeming to be the only thing moving in the wind.]
puppetfetish: (( 39. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-02 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well. He certainly catches that look on her face, but he's stoic as per usual. ]

Is it bad, doc?

[ Bro doesn't know what the spores do— he just is overly paranoid and tried to keep his mouth shut during this escapade.. just in case. I mean, you can't trust the spores. They had that cliche bad-shit look like in movies.

He has noticed he's been feeling a little bit uneasy, but he figures it's from flying around and feeling the rush of adrenaline. ]


Do we needa pull over?
alphatar: (Hair Down Tired Worn Concerned)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Korra gives a quick look back to the supplies she has, which includes fresh water.]

Either that or get you to a safehouse. [Which would mean stopping his flying around.]

I don't know how they're treating it, but I can give it a shot with my healing.
puppetfetish: (( 20. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, c'mon. I feel fan-fuckin'-tastic.
Just a little sick. Like I ate some goddamn big fat chili dog and rode the tilt a whirl 5 times straight in double the speed.

Damn, I hope I don't shit out anything weird.
Just gonna—

[ oh that's him slowing down and landing towards the rooftop.
He hopes you get the idea. ]
alphatar: (Waterbending Simple Water Whip)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-05 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Bro. That is not fantastic in the least. Even Korra doesn't want to think about anything at double the speed after a chili dog.

She knows, she's had one.]


Good idea. [Looping around, Korra stays just inches off the roof to avoid putting pressure on her injured leg. And she is so glad he put his glasses away. Those might interfere a little bi with what she's about to do.]

Try sitting down if you're dizzy; I'll handle the rest.

[The supplies get set by green energy from her ring with a jug of water coming to her hands. After opening it, she draws out a stream of water into the air with one hand. Once it starts glowing, she looks over at Bro.]

And just let me know if you start feeling better after I start. [Exactly what she's going to do once he's stationary.

pleaseworkpleaseworkpleasework.]
puppetfetish: (( 46. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-05 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hold it.

[ Bro is seated, now, but puts a hand out as soon as he sees that water moving. ]

You're gonna get me wet, are you.

[ are you, Korra.
Are you gonna get him wet.

Because he finds that hysterical, even if he is stern faced right now. ]
alphatar: (Teasing Tongue Taunt Hee Cute)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-05 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Soaked down to your underwear.
alphatar: (Healing patch up)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-05 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[But seriously:] Normally I would, but not this time. It’ll just be close to your head for something like this.

[And she slowly splays her fingers outward to send the trail of water to loop around Bro’s head like a glowing, blue halo. Gentle pushes and pulls of her hand in the air guided it around as she directs his chi paths to accelerate his body’s fight against the spores inside him. The soothing effect should help keep his mind off it, but this is more than the usual flu or stomach ache.]

Now if you were cut up, bruised, or had a broken bone, then you might want your swimming trunks.

[The best thing she can do while healing is to help distract him from what’s probably trying to kill him.]
puppetfetish: (( 3. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Good. 'Cause I don't want my hair fucked up.

[ His orange eyes bounce, watching the water with interest, but he remains calm through this whole procedure. There a bit of grimacing— as if he were in a little discomfort. ]

Who taught you this trick? Mister Miyagi? He's the shit.
alphatar: (Thanks Sympathetic)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-05 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[And here she's trying to distract him. Korra smirks at the the hair comment, and she stares at his eyes a little bit. If she met him without the glasses originally, then she probably would have been curious enough to ask if he had any sort talent with fire.]

I can't say I've ever met a healer named Miyagi before. [Because that sounds like a legit name from her world.]

But I learned from Katara, the best in my world. She taught the Avatar before me, Aang, how to waterbend too and she's one of the greatest people I've met in my whole life.

[Beat.]

I think she'd like you.
puppetfetish: (( 8. ))

[personal profile] puppetfetish 2014-05-06 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
You should. He's the best.

That's really fuckin' precious.
She cute?

[ bro no. ]
alphatar: (Unsure smile)

[personal profile] alphatar 2014-05-06 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[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.]

Oh, hell fuckin' yes. People are always the best when they're aged.

[ oh boy does he knows that. He's got a thing for old people. It's really fucking weird.
He grimaces again— just a little. ]


By the way, I feel like I'm gonna chuck cookies here. Might be best if I don't say much more.

[ He is starting to feel better though.
He finally shuts his eyes. They're too sensitive to this kind of light without his dumb shades on. ]
