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.

It's me. Giving ideas that parents hate's pretty damn usual. Hasn't stop many ladies for doin' what they wanna do. Not gonna stop you, either, is it?

[ A last smirk, over his shoulder - he has to turn his head a lot, for it to be visible through the helmet's visor - and he's off. Carefully, while still on the chaotic streets, and then faster once they hit the good road towards the Palace, then the Head. At least he knows where he's going. ]
magicalpadawan: (hey listen here)

Hell no, pretty much everything I do she hates, anyway. [She'll be quiet now, knowing he has to concentrate while they're driving. She certainly doesn't want to fall off, or anything. There might be a few slight squeaks or death grips on Bucky's hips when there is a particularly tight turn, but otherwise she's trying to keep still.]

Can't be that bad.

[ It's not about focusing on the driving, really. It's much about what his body does, as opposed to just hands and feet, as would be the case with driving a car. There are leanings to the side, with the turns, and balancing the bike - she'll probably get the hang of not getting in the way pretty quickly, too. It's not about standing still. It's about not counter-balancing him, though, and not making him overbalance, and it's not that difficult to get the hang of. Especially as they ride out of town and the pain that brings to her. ]

[ Despite her hard grip, she can probably sense that he's relaxed. Not happy, too much bad stuff has happened over the last couple of days for happy, but he is relaxed. Clearly enjoying the ride - the speed, the company, even the bumps on the road. ]

I don't know. Haven't been home in a long time. [She is pretty visibly relaxing, too, once they're on their way out of town and up to the turtle's head, and her grip lessens a bit the further away they get from all that pain and destruction.]

This is kinda fun. [She offers, after a moment.] I can see why you like it.

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-05-06 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. Maybe you'll get home for Christmas, back home.

[ Who knows? She even might. For now, though, the wind carries over the sound of his laughter. ]

Yeah?

[ Because, Molly, you just gave him permission to show off. No, he won't go off-road, but he'll speed up, and use every bump on the road to possibly get them airborne, even if only for a second, heavy as their double weight makes them. ]
magicalpadawan: (blue: heee)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-06 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. It'll be too damn cold. [But she is, thankfully, distracted from those thoughts by the speeding up. He might even get a few little shrieks out of her if they do get airborne, though they're mostly happy ones.]

Hey, I dunno about Chicago, but I'm pretty sure New York has some mild winters sometimes.

[ Ohh, this is better. So, so much better, than being closed down and hurting all the time, as Molly was when he checked on her. Hah, he sometimes has decent plans, himself, doesn't he? ]
magicalpadawan: (pink: say what now?)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a reason it's called the Windy City. [It is, and she is rather grateful for it. The pounding pain in her head is lessening, the closer they get to Tu Vishan's head, and it's almost enough to make all her worries float away.]

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-05-23 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

Maybe Steve'll somehow get me out of whatever's coming and I'll get a chance to see that. In my world, I mean.

[ What. She can use the optimism, even if she can probably absolutely tell that he's putting it up for her sake. ]

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-05-26 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe. You should go to Navy Pier if that happens. [Of course she can. But she's not going to mention it, at least.]
trainwrecked: (Bike)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-06-04 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? That a good place? Or just interesting?

[ What, he can ask, right? ]

It's -- kinda like Coney Island, I think? It's an amusement park, anyway. Pretty fun.
trainwrecked: (Bike)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-06-06 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He grins a little at her, through the helmet and over his shoulder. ]

If you've got half as 'fun' memories from there as I do from Coney Island, I might really hafta check this Navy Pier out.

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-06-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on the kinda fun, I guess. [But she's grinning back at him, at least.]
trainwrecked: (Bike)

[personal profile] trainwrecked 2014-06-11 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's gotta do with speed.

[ And, since they're into a relatively flat stretch of road, he so hits the throttle. ]
magicalpadawan: (Default)

[personal profile] magicalpadawan 2014-06-15 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, she's just going to shriek and laugh and cling onto him at this point.]

[ Thaaat's more like it! All the way to the Head! ]


ooc: Wrap this one? I'll tag the other one, promise.

[Where presumably she calms down a lot more. Thanks, sort of boyfriend!]
