EVENT LOG: A MOTHER'S LULLABY

Who: EVERYONE
What: the Mother's Lullaby mingle log.
When: Day 407 ( Feb. 21/22 )
Where: all across the city!
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!

Day 407 ( Feb. 21/22 )
[ The thick cloud coverage from yesterday turns dark and vicious, enough so to blot out the morning sun and cast Asgard into prolonged darkness. Thunder will begin to crackle across the city, seemingly far away at first as the storm builds, and growing louder with each passing minute going past noon.

As per the Holes event from November, Storm Spirits from the Percy Jackson franchise will sweep through the streets, sometimes alone and sometimes in groups of two or three. They will not discriminate between Demigod, Traveller, or native as they shock them, run them down, or sweep them up into the air. They are metaphysical creatures, which means combating them will be relatively difficult, but don't worry for too long.

Just as the sun sets ( though it still can't be seen behind the pitch black cloud coverage spider-webbed with small bursts of lightning ), a final crack of thunder will rumble across the entire kingdom, sounding near enough to a rockslide beneath their feet and above their heads. The sky will flash in a violent burst of lightning, bright enough to cast the sky in an unearthly white and blue that lasts several seconds before fading. Torrential rain will pour above an unnatural silence; the Storm Spirits are gone, and the natives will have gone bone white with fear. Even the animal life in the city will not deign to bark or howl.

The silence persists until Heimdall addresses the network with an announcement on February 22. Stay tuned to find out more! ]


[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for the Mother's Lullaby event. All deaths are still subject to death consequences. Heimdall will be posting to the network tomorrow, so keep an eye out for it. Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] in the title of your comment, along with the time and location. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

[ Kate speeds up with her - though with her longer legs, it's not quite a full run, since she wants to keep behind Clementine and watch her back. It's harder to keep her eyes on the sky without tripping over her feet while they're running, but if they're almost there then it hopefully won't matter...

She does purse her lips a little seeing her clutch her arm like that. ]
You doing okay?

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2014-03-07 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...I'm okay. It just hurts a bit, running and bumping it.

[Nothing they can prevent, not if they want to reach the clinic. The sooner the better, so long as Clementine makes it and finds a healer. That's the one thing she hates, not being able to heal herself in order to keep going and help others. It's the one flaw she finds in the healing power, besides the restrictions in terms of the power level, though she is getting better at healing now.

Clementine keeps moving forward, concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other. Not looking up to the sky as often.]


There! There it is!

[She calls out, pointing ahead of them as they round a corner. There's definitely relief in her voice, hope that they will make it without being attacked.]

Good. Go, I'm right behind you!

[ Or, rather, she's spinning back around to face the spirit that's been following them for about a block now - it's not right on top of them, but Kate's pretty sure it actually is stalking them, and if it notices they're about to get to cover...

She keeps backing up toward the clinic, but except for a brief glance back at Clementine, keeps her eyes on the spirit. If it attacks, maybe she can at least distract it and keep it from hurting the kid again. At least if she gets hurt too, the clinic's right here... ]

[Clementine runs, sprinting the instant she is told to, though she can't help but check behind, noticing Kate seeming to be keeping an eye behind them. She agrees it is a good idea, checking as well and looking rather nervous at the spirit. Even after everything she has been through, Clementine can't just abandon her. Not if something does happen. It would be all her fault.]

K-Kate?
earnedthename: (better than you ever dreamed)

[personal profile] earnedthename 2014-03-11 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ God, she wasn't supposed to stop...

Kate doesn't answer at first, still focusing on the spirit. It's slowing, wings beating the air to hover, and it is definitely watching her now. It folds its wings abruptly and drops into a steep dive, but she'd been waiting for exactly that - she spins around and sprints after Clementine, motioning wildly for her to keep running.

It can't be maneuverable enough to pull out of that dive and come after them right away. Probably. Oh, who the hell knows with magic? Kate's not turning back around until she's got a closed door behind her. ]


I'm good, keep going!

But--

[Clementine bites her lip, looking hesitant before obeying as the spirits approach, sprinting and wincing each time her arm is knocked with the movement. She tries to concentrate, to not trip and watch where she is going. Her chest rises and falls, panting as she finally makes it to the door, pulling it open with her uninjured arm and keeping it open for Kate.]

[ Kate nearly crashes into Clementine when she hits the door, but manages to avoid bowling her over entirely as she ducks through, tugging the door out of Clementine's hands to slam it shut behind her. If the spirits can break through the door, they've got bigger problems, but hopefully it'll just turn away and go off in search of easier prey.

She takes a deep breath, not even especially winded, and smiles a little at Clementine. ]


Well that was fun.

[personal profile] littlesurvivor 2014-03-13 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Clementine quickly lets Kate shut the door, ready to help if necessary with her uninjured hand. She watches through the window before sliding to sit against the wall, too tired to stand after all that adrenaline and injury.]

Yeah. Lets....not do that again.

[She answers with a crooked smile of her own in gratitude for Kate's help. It's not long before someone comes along and notices her though. She's a regular helping at the clinic so they all know Clementine and she is quickly taken care of.]

Thanks.

No problem. [ Her smile softens a little. ] I'm gonna hang out here for a little while and catch my breath and then... head out again. I'll see you around, 'kay?
