the veil is thin . . .

[ On the night of the 16th, the feeling of tension and horrid anticipation comes to a head. Everything stops when the sun goes down-- even the ever-present music in the hoppingest part of the city center. One by one, everyone turns their eyes to the skies. The young and old alike pour out of their houses, some in bare feet, and they point to the velvety blanket of stars.

It takes a second to find it, especially if one is unaccustomed to the starscape. But even a casual observer can see it.

A brightly-shining star, larger than the others, and growing larger.

An announcement cuts across all communication channels that encourages people to evacuate to the space station, but it’s clear that these are just people and they’ll need some help. Supplies, equipment, organization, there’s something for everyone to do.

Civilization is disrupted by a panicked stampede of people vying for limited seats aboard spacefaring craft. Within hours, there will be crushed glass, looting, and chaos.

The clock is ticking. Will you help? Or would you rather watch the dying gasps of a Singing Planet from a safe distance? ]

The sound reverberates through her, giving her a curious warmth and solace. The gods could toy with emotions and bury fear - and all other emotions, truly - very deep. So deep that it seems appealing to forget they existed altogether.

Lightning has learned her lesson. Frowning, she seeks out the Bards and places herself stubbornly before them.

"Are you really leading them to safety?" her gun has been drawn from the holster on her back, ready to be fired should their intentions prove malicious.

She isn't against their methods; she only questions their intentions. Nothing can be taken for granted in a crumbling world and since they have kids with them...

"No idea. We've never met, so I can't say what you intend." she jerks her chin to the people, "They'll follow anyone who says they will save them."

Well that makes one of them.

"That doesn't inspire much confidence in me. The Fleet seems to be composed of all manner of beings and you -" her gaze shifts between Maglor and Daeron, "...have power behind your voices."
