What: The The BURNING BRIDGES Mingle Log (Part One of Two)
When: Days 421-422 (March 21-24)
Where: All over the city.

- 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! ]

What the hell is going on?

[Wake up, Annie. Remember where you are!]
Right, yes. This war...
[For a moment, she spins around, looking around at everything that's going on, then looks back to the Doctor and throws her hands up in a helpless gesture.]
I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing right now? Do we go try to stop them or what? The fights back home were a lot smaller scale than this.

[ He scrubs his hand over his mouth. Frowns deeply. ]

[She bites her lip, trying to think fast.]
I don't have any of my ghost powers. I can't Rent-a-Ghost, or move things about without touching them. I've got that Growth thing. I suppose if I can almost kill other Travellers with it, I can kill whoever we go after with it.
[Innocent people and people she cares about are in this city. Annie's pretty much hit the "tear them apart" stage that she goes through, usually after the minor panic.]
You must have some idea, Doctor. Let's just assume it's going to backfire and move on from there, okay?
no subject
Well ... If we go out there, either we manage to stop the fight somehow, right where it is now, or going out there brings their attention to us and they come here instead. Or they just fight us off and instead we get loads of blood spilled - that's also an option.
no subject
War, though, is a bit big for her. She bites her lip, trying to think of the right thing to do.]
I'm not sure the two of us could stop them all by ourselves. Those are two armies full of giants out there.
...what do you think we should do?

[Her time here has been a bit of a whirlwind. She hasn't noticed much of anything yet.]
Right, well, that will take a lot of time. What should we do in the meantime? Just...make sure the fire doesn't get inside the city?
[It feels a bit less proactive, but she doesn't really like her chances against a giant army. Literally, a giant army.]

Annie puts her arms over her head with a yelp, blinking at the Doctor.]
Or ice. That...that, too.
no subject
Or that. Think we've been standing here too long. Don't you agree?
[ Then the question is where to go, and he spins around, trying to find something. ]
no subject
[Annie does a lot less spinning around, but she does look around, pointing down the street at a larger building.]
Doctor, over there!
[And this might be a bit unusual for the Doctor, but she grabs his hand and tugs him along as she makes a run for it.]
no subject
[ Oh. Okay then.
It's a good thing Clara's made him a little more used to it, and he only stumbles for a few steps. ]
How many times are you going to knock me over today?
no subject
Sorry, sorry! But we had to hurry.
[She begins patting him down, looking for injuries.]
Are you alright?
no subject
I'm fine.
