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? ]
[OOC: Please see this post for plot details. Phase two has begun! Feel free to use this post as a reaction post, mingle, etc. or make your own!]

no subject
[Minus the one other person she manages to find.]
You aren't going down to help?
no subject
Nor you?
no subject
I was down there earlier, and it looks like they have more than enough help as it is. I risk my life often enough at home, I'm not going to step into danger when there are other people more willing.
no subject
Sounds pretty fair to me. [ She crosses her arms, looks somewhat absently out the window again. ] I don't know the whole situation, so I'm not sure how I feel about interfering. And besides, like you said, there are plenty of people already helping.
no subject
Yes, we don't know the whole situation. Who knows what that comet is hiding?
[Is it a dragon? It could be a dragon. Just saying.]
It looks like everything is going fine now, but I can almost guarantee that something is going to go wrong. It always does.
[She can tell because she has protag powers (tm).]
no subject
Of course it does. That's how the world works. [ Shut up, Jacqli - you're the antagonist, it's usually your fault things get worse for the protags. ] Sure, a comet seems pretty final, but maybe there's more to it, and we won't know until it's too late, or something.
[ Or is it already "too late"? That sure is one doomed planet, man. ]
no subject
[She takes another look at the planet. That's definitely most of the Fleet out there, all right.]
It looks like we have a good number of heroes with us.
[The tone she uses to say 'heroes' makes it pretty clear that she also means 'idiot.']
no subject
Looks like we do. Wouldn't surprise me if they dragged a bunch of heroes [ Same tone~ ] into this Fleet thing on purpose.
no subject
Nor would it surprise me. If they were looking to create a spectacle, this would be one way to do it.
[Not that she was 100% sold on the 'entertainment' angle.]
no subject
Well, if they all want to get themselves in over their heads, I guess that's their choice. I'm not going to stop them.
no subject
[She frowns. This really boded well for the next odd year of her life.]
I was down there earlier, and many of the citizens were holding up evacuation efforts. If they want to risk their lives, that's fine, but I'm not going to gamble mine for a group of people I don't even know.
no subject
[ High compliment, coming from her. Honestly, this is just... super refreshing to hear, given all the optimistic and inspirational heroic speech bullshit she hears back home like, daily. ]
Like you said, we've got a good number of heroes out there. So, looks like you won't have to. Besides, the ones who make it out of this will be fine. They'll have to adapt, but that's hardly impossible.
no subject
Yes, people might be idiots, but they're also a lot stronger than they seem. I guarantee the people crying about curses will be among the first to adapt to their new home.
