Event | Satellite | Spectres!
Characters: Any and all!
Date: May 23 - 26, 2013
Location: Keeliai, turtleside, ARSHEPHELIOS cluster remains
Situation: Repairs and salvage operations operating innocently have triggered an invasion of spectres that possess and wreak havoc upon all they see.
Warnings/Rating: Please put CW in your subject lines
Satellite Crash Event
Crash Landing | Salvage Party | Shocking Spectres
Questions | Keeliai | ARSHEPHELIOS
Salvage is sweet, but not all is well on board the ARSHEPHELIOS cluster. The seamless cylinders salvaged from debris and the cluster, now being frequently traded, turn out to be pods the first time one is penetrated or cracked open. Each breached pod releases a flood of energy-based apparitions hellbent on world domination -- or, more accurately, person domination (and it's not the fun kind).
These apparitions -- spectres, if you will -- are driven by a need to protect the technology of the satellite cluster that their pods are associated with. They will stop at nothing to see this through. Each is immune to physical attacks, but seem to be injured or dissipated entirely by things like electrical shock or other energy-based projections. If people touch them, there is also a brief window of vulnerability, but it acts also like a door that swings both way. Through contact, these spectres can and will invade one's psyche, take over their body and cause them to attack friend or foe alike! Should the possessed body be subjected to sufficient electrical shock, the possession should fade. Strong natural will can also drive the spectres out, but it is no walk in the park to do so. Possession is not the only tool in the arsenal, for these spectres use electricity as their main offensive weapon. They'll leave deep-tissue burns on anyone they fight, and show no degree of fatigue after constant use of it.
Ten thousand of these creatures will be freed from pods, resulting in a veritable flood of Keeliai, the turtleside, and the satellite cluster. With such a driven enemy, it comes down to killing or being killed.
Meanwhile, those taking shelter indoors may notice that the spectres will get into the biomechanical functions of Keeliai. Consoles will be malfunctioning during this time, with lines of mysterious code and strange, ghostly images. One might hear people screaming for help or hours of patchy radio static.

From the air, she watches the way Annabeth and Percy work together as the last of the kedan are rounded up and the trap goes off, a twinge of jealousy hitting her. It makes her think of Jimena and Collin, of Tianna and Derek, Serena and Stanton. It's unfair, really, that they got it so easy, have boyfriends who understood. But that's unfair of her to think too, and this is really not the time to be thinking about all of that, but she's tired. Fatigued, really.
And flying is way different than the way she floats on air when she's invisible. It makes her a little nervous. Her fingers tingle first, then her legs, and she's almost too afraid to look because she knows she's gone opaque. At that point, she doesn't even bother to keep herself together. There's no point. Vanessa lets Jason's hand go before her molecules can pull his apart too, and she disappears, floating a couple of feet away. It's almost a relief.
"Stupid powers," she mutters right as her molecules slam back together, a solid form appearing in the air again. She doesn't even have time to scream before she's falling.
Stupid emotions. Stupid fatigue. Stupid powers.
no subject
Percy and Annabeth are working pretty good together, too, so for once it seems like everything is working in their favor. He stands to one side somewhat awkwardly, not sure what he should do next, and he begins to fiddle with the bottom of his shirt as he watches Vanessa and Jason in the air.
And then he notices the first signs of Vanessa's invisibility powers start to work. For a moment his brow furrows in confusion; he's pretty sure becoming invisible isn't part of the plan. So what in the world is happening?
But before he could answer himself with a witty comeback, Vanessa reappears mid-air. And well, there's this thing about gravity still working, so.
His eyes widen and he shouts Vanessa's name and before he even notices he's already darting in her direction. He doesn't know what made him think it's such a good idea, in retrospect, because as soon as he catches Vanessa he goes sprawling onto the ground. On his butt. Which kind of hurts real bad, even without the added weight of a girl in his arms.
"Ow ow owww..." He grits his teeth and winces, then opens one eye. "Hey, you alright?"
no subject
She crashes into Leo, wincing slightly. Not for herself, but for him, the idiot. She's long since made friends with the ground. "Oh, God. Leo!" Scrambling off of him, her hands shake, checking him over. "What were you trying to do? Are you insane? Oh, God, did I break you?" There's a sense of blind panic, but she calms down enough to make a face at him. "I'm more worried about you." He's so small, and she did just crash land on him.
And then she does something she probably wouldn't have done in front of a crowd of other people if she wasn't panicking or still feeling the adrenaline of being useful. "Thank you." Vanessa leans in and kisses him firmly.
no subject
And then he's cut off by the sudden girl lips against his, and his brain completely fizzles and dies. For a moment he just sits there, frozen, eyes wide and uncomprehending.
What? Wait... is this really happening? She's, like, really kissing him, right? Because he's pretty sure lips on lips equals kissing. Or a smooch. Whatever. Hey, it feels pretty nice. But did he hit his head when he caught her? You know, pulled a Jason? Is he currently unconscious and just dreaming this up? He's so shocked and mildly confused that he does little else, and he's only vaguely aware of the heat rising in his face, starting from his cheeks and spreading to his ears.
Ears.
Before he realizes it his ears are suddenly on fire, and he pulls back and yelps, patting the flames out with both hands.
no subject
He gives Annabeth a bit of a wide-eyed stare. "Did she just--?"
But then Leo is on fire, and well, what kind of friend would he be if he didn't help out now? A wave of his hand has a sphere of water collapsing of Leo's head, neatly avoiding Vanessa entirely. Because he's a true bro, he whistles, grinning widely.
no subject
And at that point there’s nothing to do but cover his grin with the back of his hand and then say, “Well. Okay, then.”
Jason’s got such a way with words.
no subject
Until she lightly smacks Percy on the chest for the whistling, however aware she is that he was electrocuted not that long ago; it's not actually enough to hurt. "Unnecessary," she growls lowly, for Vanessa's sake. Even if she's still taken aback and trying to fight a grin of her own. It's a sign that everyone, kissing party included, isn't too badly hurt, at least.
no subject
And...
Her eyes widen in mild horror because oh. Oh, there are people here, and how could she have just forgotten that in one brief second? See, this is what happens when you let yourself go, Vanessa. Her face goes bright red, and she makes a sort of strangled noise of embarrassment as she ducks her head. This is exactly why she doesn't let herself go crazy.
"So!" She flounders for words before scrambling to her feet, grinning awkwardly at everyone. "Great job, huh. Awesome." Someone kill me.
no subject
It's Vanessa who gets up first, and he kind of stares at her dumbly for a while before turning red. (Hopefully he won't set himself on fire this time around, though.)
"R-Right!" And he follows her lead, pushing himself off the ground in a not-that-really composed manner. He scratches the back of his head, eyes darting everywhere except at Vanessa and the other demigods. "Uh. So. Congratulations, I guess!"
no subject
He catches sight of Jason hiding a grin, and teeters on the edge of bitterness for a second. Here Percy is getting electrocuted and flopping about uselessly, while Jason was pretty much tailor made to deal with the situation.
But that was the point, right? His arm tightens around Annabeth a little, the only sign of his having an issue right now. Neither Percy nor Jason were suited to doing everything themselves. This was just...a situation where Jason had been able to take the lead over him.
Besides, Annabeth had been doing all the hard work, anyway. He catches Jason's eye and smiles a little, nodding. "Hey, you did good out there, man." And then looking at the rest of them. "Actually, you were all a pretty awesome team. Sorry for, you know. Getting electrocuted."
no subject
As for the rest of it, though, he can only shake his head. He may have been smiling a minute ago, but now he’s serious again, scanning the skyline and the forest for signs of more kedan and spectres.
“I don’t think we’re out of the woods just yet.” (Oh now Jason’s punning, too. My apologies.) “There’s no way that was the last of them.”
no subject
Truth be told, she's pleased her plan worked as well as it did, and she knows they wouldn't necessarily be breathing a little easier right now without it. Annabeth's self-confidence nearly always bleeds out the ears. But it was impossible to pull off alone, and she knows that, too. "We all did good," and yes, that all was enunciated with specific intent towards her boyfriend, though everyone else too. She peers around, scanning the area herself. "But Jason's right. We shouldn't stay here long, and we need to recover - if these things came from the wreckage, there's bound to be more, with how much of it fell. There's no way how much commotion we made went unnoticed either."
no subject
Team encouragement, yay. She stills for a moment, though, staring at the ground. She was part of a team again. That's a nice feeling. Better than nice, actually. It's been a long time since she's worked as a team. Since... before Nefandus, before Tianna's death.
"They came from the pods," she says after a moment. "The pods in the wreckage." But recovery sounds nice. She could use a nap. Also her shoes, because she doesn't exactly like the idea of walking around this place with all the wreckage in her bare feet. "Where do we go?"
no subject
Though honestly, he's still pretty pissed that his fire powers didn't work. Sure, it's a gift and not a curse, whatever, but he kind of really wants it to actually act like one, for once. Like Jason's thunderbolts, or Vanessa's invisibility, or Annabeth's intelligence, or hell, even Percy's water control that saved Leo and Annabeth from the initial spectre attack.
But no one needs to know what he's thinking. So Leo claps his hands together, the smile still there, unwavering. "So! My place? Who wants some taco sandwiches?"
