❪ 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

healing
Job being heavy lifting, presently: he's got a box of supplies in his arms when he spots Carmen's tell-tale, hourglass figure, trotting over to her... and stopping abruptly. ]
Ann? [ He leans in a little, definitely trying to peer into her mask. ] You're crying.
[ in case she is unaware ]
no subject
Yusuke is ... the same as ever, and it makes it all the easier to wipe away her tears and dust herself off. Casting another Dia against someone with a gash across their head. ]
I was not! I just needed to take a break for a minute! It's really exhausting casting for an hour straight!
no subject
Very well. [ He doesn't know why she'd insist otherwise, people are just mysterious like that. ] Though it'd be all right if you were.
[ Crying, that is. It happens, and they're friends. He puts down the crate, busying himself with cracking open the top. ]
—Do you remember what I was like, summoning Goemon for the first time?
[ Using his powers recklessly, emotionally, vibrantly—he could barely move after. ]
no subject
She denies it and tries to push past. That's what she wants to do — to get over this and keep doing what she does best. Support people. It's just lame to get emotional over it. It's one dash tiredness and one dash stress, a deadly recipe that isn't delicious at all. ]
Uhmmm. A total badass? That was the first time I ever saw someone summon their Persona like that — their first time. It was inspirational, and some kind of weird justice.
[ She wonders if that's how she was viewed... I mean, minus the catsuit. ]
no subject
Thank you. [ He didn't know how things had gone for her (though from what he's heard of Kamoshida's Palace—he almost wishes he had been there for her justice), but watching the others awaken to their own selves was astounding. Each wronged, outraged, powerful as unbridled storms. Still, it's beside the point he needs to make. ] I must've made quite a spectacle if that outshined the aftermath. I didn't look half so capable draped over Ryuji's shoulder.
[ Even with all the fury in the world behind him, he couldn't give chase after his first fight. He just sat on a metaverse couch and moped for a while. And that was what—a few overeager bufus? He seems weaker here than before as well; wouldn't surprise him if the others were suffering the same.
Finally done fussing the top off this crate, it's mostly full of camping supplies. There's probably a bag of trail mix in there. ]
What I mean is—if you must push yourself, at least take a moment to let me help.
[ If she passes out, she's helping exactly zero people. He's still not sure if that'll actually get her to stop, so this is the next best option. ]
no subject
As Yusuke mentions his own perception, she waves him off. ]
Yeah! It doesn't matter about how tired or overwhelming it was, it was your chance to find out that voice that was calling for you. Real poetic, don'tcha think?
[ She knows that Yusuke is interesting — where he sees art, maybe she doesn't. Where she sees motivation, maybe he doesn't. She values all of her friend's feelings, so she doesn't push the subject too hard when the time isn't right. ]
Yusuke... [ Her eyes soften at his offering, her bottom lip trembling juuuust slightly. She's been so overwhelmed with everything and the fact that she's been alone for a few hours doesn't help. ] Fine. Fine.
no subject
Still, thinking back on his 'awakening' was somber. Everything around it'd been too ugly for a sonnet. Maybe Ann's perspective is clearer, but— ]
Ah hah. [ Anyway, he's triumphantly rifled something out, presenting it to her. It's not trail mix as much as it is some sort of... alien MRE, but the cafeteria goop was surprisingly palatable. Hopefully this would be too? Maybe not as sweet as she'd like, but beggars can't be choosers. ] Here, this should be an ample distraction.
[ Enough for her to find her bearings again, at least. No one would notice if she took a break anyway, least of all if he kept it to himself. The only one pushing Ann to work to exhaustion is Ann, anyway. ]
no subject
Do you — uh, do you want to split this? When was the last time you ate?
[ She has to check, even if she's about to stress eat, she looks down to the item sympathetically before returning her gaze back. ]
no subject
He laughs softly, practically preening. ]
Not to worry. It's only been about twenty-four hours.
