❪ event ❫ THE DESCENT: PART ONE.
THE PROLOGUE
Your sleep on the night of the 15th is not a restful one, unfortunately. It’s unclear whether you are in a state of half-wakefulness, or dreaming. The voices you hear certainly sound very real.
What is it, Sael? —Is everyone asleep?! Every one, yes. Sael, it appears you do not have good news to deliver...? N-No! I don’t know how it slipped past us, but there’s something powerful coming this way. Something hostile. I can barely keep the core systems online! ... I don't know what to do... I see... and we cannot protect Thesa and Alria in addition to transferring the Refugees to Olympia. This force, they waited for this moment. They knew I have been Intervening, and that I have become weak from such Interventions— ... We've been had. It cannot be helped. To save the Refugees on the Stations, we must eject the awoken unto El Nysa. My remaining energy shall go into shielding Thesa— left defenseless, every being we have saved on this station will perish... Sael, where is the ideal location for the landing? Hmm. There aren’t any people within a ten mile radius of The Outlook, and there shouldn’t be any for a few more days. I think that’s the best location right now. Very well. Instruct Zasere and Roman to begin preparations for an emergency eject. This is the only way we can save everyone. I am counting on you to ward off the enemy on the space front. The rest... is up to our Refugees. The alarms are blaring. It shouts against your eardrums, calling you to wake again. This time, you are in new pod, strapped down completely and cushioned tightly against the walls. In truth, you had no idea when you’d gone to sleep, but it is reminiscent of when you had been saved from the force of the Storm. A voice greets you when you come to, while the conversation between Darma and Sael is still fresh on your mind. Despite their voices playing like an old tune in your memory, you still know it is something that happened. Something has gone terribly wrong. You hear Darma speak, her voice loud in your head. Fellow Refugee, I wake you with regrettable news. A force equal to our own is attempting to engage Thesa, no doubt to steal the souls contained here. My energy is near depleted with this last Intervention, so I cannot send you to the grounds safely as originally intended. However, there is hope yet.This power shall instead shield Thesa and Alria — and believe in me when I swear no one shall be hurt. Your loved ones are safe with us. THE DESCENT ![]()
Meanwhile, in the distant kingdom of Olympia, the Empress and her loyal subject discuss matters late into the night... I’ll have the results of that dragon toxin study ready for you soon, Your Highness. I just need a few helpers to— oh wow, is that a meteor shower? Oh yes, it appears so. How beautiful.. hehe. Let us thank Thesa for this blessing. GATHER YOUR BEARINGS
All in all, the descent lasts for nearly seven hours. After the deployment of the last wave of refugees, it’s only natural that you may be feeling pretty worn out.
A. Within the remains of the pods, Refugees will find basic camping supplies such as small tents, sleeping bags, and compasses. Not all of the supplies remain intact, thanks to the impact of the crash. But, sharing resources will ensure there is enough for everyone to rest for the night. Can you really in good conscience leave that stranger next to you without shelter? FINAL OOC NOTE
This INTRO event will be broken up into three parts! Please keep this in mind when plotting your threads/tag load. PART 2 will be posted on JULY 18TH and PART 3 on JULY 22ND, at 6 PM EST. In the event of CAPTCHA, we will be providing an overflow. In the event of a second CAPTCHA, players are advised to move threads to an overflow post on their character journals. These threads remain eligible for AC,
AC Rewards, and REP.
The NETWORK is currently down, as Sael must concentrate all of his efforts on warding off the invading force. Characters may still message each other's personal IC inboxes. Submit two (2) AC-eligible threads from this log for one (1) Natha Orbiter REP point here by JULY 31ST. Recommended Listening: Alex & TOKYO Rose

buffy summers (ota - first wave)
first wave here we go
He doesn't take the offered hand, though he does step away from the scrap metal left behind him from where his own pod fell. ]
I can't say I'm used to any of this. Trees and mountains are the highest I've gone before.
[ There's an uncomfortable pause as he looks away from here towards the direction they just came from. ]
You're already injured.
[ He doesn't have to look to tell, but thankfully the blood is on her face. She might have wiped it off, but a little still shows underneath as it heals. ]
It shouldn't be too long before more are coming in, we might have to think quickly on how to catch them. Did you have any ideas?
no subject
[ She looks him over pointedly, huffing out a breath. Unconsciously, she rests her hand on the break in her arm. It's minor. Not even visible. But the ache is real. It's going to hinder her. ]
If this is going to work, we need to take stock of what all of us are capable of. They wouldn't have chosen us if we couldn't do it. Maybe pair the strongest up for the catch, set the rest to pulling people free.
no subject
[ It isn't lucky he's still alive, after all. At least, that's the way he's seen it for a while now. He doesn't miss the way she reaches for her arm, but he doesn't bring it up this time. ]
Catching them might be difficult, but I'm fast enough to get up there before they drop.
[ He's quicker than he is strong anyway, at least compared to others in his family. ]

Well, like-minded and apart from her crew of "wow we are ill-prepared, aren't we?" Riverdale friends.]
Though ... if there are any left over, we might be able to rig up a belt to tie around the middle. It could be their saving grace.
no subject
Some strappy sandals, a drastically altered hemline, and you might be onto something. Otherwise, the only mood these are setting? Is cult.
no subject
[She could be wrong, though. Maybe this is some creepy alien version of a cult.
... Which sounds absolutely awful, considering.]

And then...] Equipment? We were supposed to have equipment? [Now she's feeling like she did something wrong.] I just woke up in this pod!
no subject
[ She holds out a hand to You. ] Come on. Let's get you clear and we can search your pod for it together.
no subject
At least they sent us down here with supplies. Where are they inside? [Also, did you really open that door all by yourself? We can ask that later.]

[To be fair, 'tacky' and 'shapeless' could basically describe most outfits Itachi had worn since he was a kid. Ninja weren't always known for their fashion sense, and Akatsuki had been no different. He'd spent many years in cloud printed robes with painted nails.
He keeps his back to her, having realized she was potentially changing and not wanting to be rude about it.]
no subject
[ She makes a face, but hastens to pull it on her now that she realizes she's in mixed company. A few hasty glances over her shoulder, at least, assure her that he's being Gentlemanly. ]
Do normal people wear this kind of stuff where you come from?
I'm only now on season 3 of my first Buffy watch, please forgive me.
[Fashion varied from village to village and he didn't have much to do with any of it. He has a feeling she wouldn't care for the typical ninja attire. To him, clothes had always just been something to cover himself. He wore what his clan wore, what his fellow ninja wore, or (such as in this case) what he was handed.]
But I think all you need in this situation is something practical.
omg no sweat her canon point is barely past you, then. beginning of s4 :)

Her right elbow has been injured when her pod landed on its side, and the sleeve of her blouse, now on the ground by her feet, is ruined with blood. She, too, is careful with her movements.
At Buffy's remark, Jane gives an agreeing nod that is paired with a slight shrug.]
It's... clean. Yeah? [And here we have a moment of Jane looking on the bright side.
She raises her good arm to allow for the sleeve to slip past it.] That's one down. [She says to herself with a hint of pain pushing through her tone.]
no subject
Have you found any of the second wavers? They should be able to look you over.
no subject
Uhh, Miller. [She gestures to the small bandage wrapped neatly around her elbow before it disappears into the sleeve. She gives herself a beat to adjust the robe before continuing.]
He helped me out after I left that pod. [That pod, because something that has failed her doesn't belong to her anymore. Still, her voice is smoother than her signature tone of firmness. Perhaps because she's exhausted - or perhaps it's because the hospitality of the people she's encountered has settled her.
She turns her head to utilize her peripherals, but doesn't peek.]
I'm Jane.

[ Keyleth is shaken and a little dirty, clothes spotted with suit and antlers askew, but she's already poured some healing into herself, so at least she can move without much pain. The little blonde that offered her a hand up doesn't look like she can say the same. ]
Oh, hey! You're bleeding. I can fix that.
[ Her hands glow with a faint green energy as she hold a Cure Wounds spell, waiting for permission. ]
It won't hurt, I promise! We'll all do better if we're at our best.
no subject
[ She instinctively bristles at the sight of the magic glow, as if preparing herself for a confrontation of some kind, but then she quickly disarms. Right. Friendly. It's been hard to let her guard down, lately. ]
Magic. That's ... spiffy. [ She rubs her more-injured arm. ] Don't these things usually come with a consent form?
no subject
Um. No? I mean, you can say no of course! [ But why would you?? This is good, pure, mother nature magic at its finest, really! ] It really doesn't hurt, though, I promise! It feels nice! Like...like drinking warm tea!

Then she pushes it aside. Braces herself to start kicking on the door, an effort that might have been enough, eventually, if the noise of it hadn't drawn a rescuer. The rush of fresh air as the pod door is ripped open is a relief, and she's swallowing deep breaths of it even as she takes the offered hand, letting herself be pulled up into the light.]
Intact.
[It's a distracted answer, looking around, taking in the landscape of other crashed pods, other people moving amongst them. And then looking at her rescuer properly, frowning concerned as soon as she sees the blood on her face.]
You're hurt.
[She hasn't let go of the woman's hand, unconsciously using the contact to support herself in the immediate turmoil of the situation.]
no subject
[ It's more matter-of-fact than self-pitying, despite the hint of wistfulness to it. That's just the facts when you're the Slayer. You get hurt. ]
What about you? [ She looks Izzy over then, and well, who can't help but gawk a little — even at a time like this — when looking Izzy over. It's more surprise than anything, and it fades quickly. ] All your pieces still attached?
no subject
[She finally lets go of the woman's hand, reaching up to sweep her hair back from her face. A missing piece of equipment: a hairtie. But Izzy had never been the type to keep one on her wrist, usually committed to whatever hair style she'd chosen for the duration of the day (or night). Bizarrely, it's that thought that suddenly makes her feel completely and utterly unprepared for what's happening. The smile she gives is tinged wry, glancing back at the cracked open pod.]
This definitely isn't how I usually make an entrance.
