What: The The BURNING BRIDGES Mingle Log (Part One of Two)
When: Days 421-422 (March 21-24)
Where: All over the city.
Rating: PG-13. Anything higher than that should be taken to a private log, please!
- Day 421 ( Mar. 21/22 )
- All throughout the day, the inhabitants of the Holy City will occasionally hear low rumbling sounds not unlike the beginnings of an earthquake, but nothing shakes or stirs beyond the quiet trickle of rain for most of the day. However, as the rain picks up and blots out the sunset, the rumbling grows louder just before a rift opens in the ground. Though it's not terribly deep, the split is two feet across at its widest and travels several hundred yards, starting from beneath the city wall at the corner of the Thor district and moving quickly into Loki's district. The ground nearby shifts somewhat with it and any buildings unfortunate to be affected will start to sink into the gap.
Any shouts of surprise or cries for help from this tear in the earth will be short lived, however, as large shards of ice begin to rip through the wall in various places throughout Sigyn and Hel's districts, piercing holes into anything - and anyone - in their path before shattering or melting. These are not directed or precise by any means; they fly in random places at random times. It may very well seem like the least coordinated attack ever and the Giants have really lost their game, but as the rumbling reaches its loudest peak, a burst of flame far outside the city wall may hint that it is not an attack at all. At least, not one intended for the Travellers.
To the east of the city, not nearly far enough from the thick wall that separates Asgard from the rest of Yggdrasil, a massive battle between the Frost Giants and the Fire Giants is being waged. What splinters off and reaches the city is purely by accident; collateral damage, as it were.
The shattering of rock and the splintering ice as well as bursts of flame and cracking of trees can be heard all throughout the night as more debris and stray projectiles find their way over the city wall. This can be anything from more needles of ice and much smaller cracks in the ground to flaming stones and sheets of hail. For now, these will remain small things that come over the wall rather than through it, but feel free to play around with what exactly comes your way. - Day 422 ( Mar. 23/24 )
- The battle continues on into the next day, and by early morning, the city guard will ride through the city to alert everyone as to what's happening beyond the gates. From what they can see, Thiazi's army is pushing Surt's back and away as the Fire Giants attempt to encroach forward. They know of little else, but the battle is coming closer and closer to the city, which means the collateral damage will continue to worsen.
This is where the decision whether or not to fight will come in! The decision will be left to the Travellers in whether they ride out to force the Giants out of Asgard's land or simply bunker down and wait out the war. All action and inaction comes with a list of pros and cons, so consider it carefully before settling on your decision today.
[ OOC NOTES: This is the mingle log for the first half of the Burning Bridges event, leading up to the decision on how the Travelers will react to the battle. The poll, though closed, is located HERE for reference! The mingle log for the second half of this event will be going up soon, and a link will be provided here when it is.
A Special Note: As of the beginning of this event, god-given powers will now work outside of the Asgard. More information on this OOCly is forthcoming, and characters involved in the plot please be on the lookout for contact from us! Please feel free to assume that all Travelers have been made ICly aware of the fact that they can now use their powers outside of the city now.
Please put [OPEN/CLOSED] in the title of your comment, along with the time and location. Let us know if you have any questions! ]

[ He'll be as short as he can get away with. ]
no subject
[ and he'll give the same in turn: the emphasis on doctor about the only trace of clarification he's offering. if it's any consolation, he sounds about as happy to be calling as you are to hear from him, John.
a shift on the other end of the line and Jim hisses, just once, just barely. ]
no subject
[ They're not exactly on the best terms. Does Jim really not know enough people to call someone else?
Or is it about trust? Not trust in a person, but trust in whether or not they actually know what they're doing. And Jim definitely knows he does. ]
no subject
[ Jim Moriarty, not in the mood for a chat? well. better pack for an emergency. ]
Gefion park. Near the pavilion by the lake.
[ and with that he cuts it off, the beginnings of a slight pained (frustrated?) grunt slipping in just before his end goes silent. do you or don't you, John? that's the question. ]
no subject
If he doesn't do anything and Jim dies, then he'll come back and know John didn't do anything. The only thing he could get from not doing anything is satisfaction, but he supposes ...
It's not really worth it, is it?
So he grabs his things and makes for Gefion park. ]
no subject
the structure's open but covered with ivy, blocking clear view inside until closer—
at which point anyone's free to see Jim Moriarty lounging quite happily in the hammock swing within, blood bag discarded on the floor nearby and the man himself merrily skimming what his bracelet has to offer. o o p s. ]
no subject
Does not look like someone who's hurt. But John's willing to give the benefit of the doubt, though he stops a distance away and folds his arms. ]
Well?
no subject
[ nnnno. John's a smart enough man - smart enough men know better than to leave volatile maniacs dying in parks. smart enough men's bravery carries them off to do what's to be done. it doesn't quite stretch to refusing to.
which is what has John standing here listening to Moriarty's sing-song glee as he lies, this time quite obviously, through his teeth. ]
Forgive the mess, won't you? I was going for red carpet, this was the best I could do on short notice.
[ gestures to the last length of the blood trail so thoughtful Jim ]
no subject
[ Right. Best just get this over with.
He moves over to Jim's side. ]
What happened?
no subject
[ a beat, another, and Jim s q u i n t s at him as he approaches, trying to fathom if this man is even real.
but no, yes, unfortunately. fortunately? who knows. fact remains someone's going to have to put him out of his misery, and since they're the only two here... he hates to be the one to burst his own bubble, but needs must and all that. ]
Nothing, silly. But I didn't think you'd be up for a chat if I just invited you for one, so...
[ another broad gesture, sudden and stilted, from ruptured blood bag to his spotless self to the park beyond them. see what I did here, John? not a scratch. ]
no subject
He scrubs a hand over his face. ]
What do you want?
no subject
[ s i g h face but soon enough he's grinning, sweeping the bracelet's information away to give John something closer to his full attention. also getting a little more comfortable in his hammock chair while Asgard descends into chaos don't mind him will you bud ]
May as well get straight to it, you're probably in demand. I've got a number of topics - there's our friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes, lovely lady Ellie, you yourself and your other, me myself and mine. Where do you want to start?
no subject
Just a chat? You don't just chat. What do you want?
no subject
I want to play.
no subject
I'm not going to be your playmate.
no subject
[ look! look at this lovely friendly public service announcement! you're free as a bird, John, what a generous and obviously kindly intended visit this is!
ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. ]
no subject
What the hell does that mean?
no subject
[ flippant, airy and resuming some characteristic lightness. why, Dr. Watson, I'm off your backs! surely that's a r e l i e f~ ]
no subject
Where? To whom?
no subject
Oh, of course. You'd be the very first person I'd tell when I made a decision like that. Absolutely.
[ sarcastic nodding...
but this is exactly perfect, exactly as hoped. John Watson and his logic, his service-bound sensibilities telling him he can't leave well enough alone. makes the meeting awfully lucrative: a notice and a baiting and a little research all in one. ]
I'm afraid I haven't decided yet. Could be anyone.
no subject
Great. Fantastic.
