open | event | All Shook Up!

Characters: Teams Alpha, Beta, and Charlie; also, everyone!
Date: February 17th (through 28th)
Location: Tu Vishan's shell damaged areas (multiple locations), sewers
Situation: There are a number of damaged sections of Tu Vishan's shell and the kedan are working at repairs and, where the turtle's flesh itself has been damaged, healing. There are many convoluted sewer passages now open that Foreigners technically could access, if they can make it past the police that have been stationed around each exposed area.
Warnings/Rating: Medical examinations, blood & gore references, sewage; to be updated as needed.


Exposed Areas
The damages sustained during the dive event are not excessive in number, but are plentiful enough to require work groups of kedan to be deployed in a twenty-four/seven repair schedule. They are signed into each area through one of Evandau's direct reports and their numbers are counted throughout the day to enforce strict controls over those that have access to Tu Vishan, their most precious resource.

Those making it past the checkpoints or sneaking through gaps in the sentries find that the Emperor did not lie about the damages done. There are scars near each damaged bit of shell that shift into spider webbed stress lines and end with the jagged edging of broken shell. Kedan workers are busy trying to clear away broken shell and install metal-and-wood framing that will hold these pieces back in place when they are done.

Beneath the surface, some are working at dams and blockages in what appears to be an ancient sewer system. The walls are smooth and indicative of architecture done in concert with the natural growth of the turtle. Lanterns provide some pinpoints of light where dark mosses have grown over the bioluminescent shell itself, but the further one goes from the work sites, the more one must rely upon the natural lighting of the shell in order to proceed.

At the core of each operation are the best healers that the kedan population has to offer. They can be seen tending torn and blooded flesh of a momentous scale, mending the damages done directly to the turtle to the best measure that they can. These areas are the most stringently guarded, for Tu Vishan is most vulnerable beneath the armoured layer of its shell.

Sewage meets most that enter the tunnels rather than skulking about the sites, with an unpleasant smell lingering in the nose and mouth the longer that one stays there -- oh, and in the clothes, which may make a stealthy exit more difficult if one is not downwind. The tunnels twist and turn aplenty, crossing one another with a design more evolutionary than engineered. Those that wander in are at risk of becoming lost beneath the surface, with only a few doors and small closet-like rooms to be found where tools were stored once upon a time.

Be wary, Foreigners! There are many a kedan patrolling these areas and they will give chase in an unauthorised party is found. Evandau briefed a number of the teams himself, advising that Foreigners are all considered unauthorised. Parties subject to arrest are to be brought to the surface and handed over to either the police or, once it's in place, Raylan's civilian team for eventual escort to the palace prison.

[And this is where his hate of the network comes to bite him in the ass. Too bad he broke his own console not too long ago. He'll have to get that replaced, much to his chagrin.

Either way, he'll have to get in contact with the Marshal. Great.]


There was the mainland, but I couldn't tell you either way. Place just looked like a desert to me. Was a hell of a lot bigger than Tu Vishan.

[And was more like a desert after a nuclear holocaust, but details.]

I heard about that, although the word my friend used was 'wasteland'. No turtles there.

Yeah. Sounds about right.

[He keeps walking, heading toward the damage and the sounds and smells of the world above. Soon they come to the scaffolding where ladders reach up toward street level and the fractured shell gives glimpses of the night sky.

Hellboy starts climbing without another word.]

[The ladder creaks ominously under Hellboy's weight, but he's surprisingly nimble as he scales it quickly, trying to to give it the opportunity to break. That'd be just his luck.

Once he reaches the surface he waits for Kyle to join him, enjoying his last few minutes of freedom for the next few days.]


All right, so how do we do this?
imaginate: ([kyle] what even)

I've gotta hand you over to the local police, you're going to the palace prison. [He points over to a group of kedan, who are heading towards them.

Kyle does not sound particularly happy about this. He had a good chat with a reasonable person.]
Here's hoping they give you a slap on the wrist.

[He doesn't answer, standing in wait for the approaching kedan. He's had run-ins with the police force here before. Something to do with a few too many drinks and a temporary curfew. Not his finest moment, but he's sure Evandau won't be happy to see him again. The kedan police don't look all that happy either. But he greets them genially anyway.]

How's it going, boys?

[He won't put up any fight with this, either. He did what he did because he believed it was right. He doesn't mind facing the consequences.

When it's time for them to escort him away, he waves to Kyle once, still pretty damn unbothered by the whole situation.]


See you around, kid.

[He'll be out in a few days. All this really is is a minor inconvenience.]
