[ 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!]

"I... see... Then -- do you not sleep or eat?"
Or pee. Do you not urinate?
No offense, but based off the dryness of your overall aesthetic, he's assume you don't.
no subject
And Jarvis would be correct to assume he doesn't pee either.
"There is no food nor water in the dreaming world. My kind would not live long if we required it."
1/2
"Goodness - but eating and sleep are so enjoyable..."
no subject
"... My apologies, I should really think before I speak. I'm sure you have plenty to enjoy!"
no subject
Justice tilts his head, still staring at Jarvis. He hasn't blinked once this whole interaction, partially because he still hasn't figured out that mortals don't like it when he never blinks. "Why do you enjoy sleeping and eating? They are basic functions required by your body. It seems to me that they should be tedious."
no subject
They have some pretty odd characters aboard, so he's had proper training.
"Oh, yes -- yes, honestly, I can relate. I'm actually quite behind on technology, so some of this is like a whole new world for me as well. Have you ever watched a movie from the 21st century? Phenomenal, I must say."
no subject
If this human man enjoys them, then maybe they're worth looking at.
no subject
no subject
"That sounds fascinating." Another thing Justice likes about mortals: they're so damned creative. "Is there a way to view these in the Fleet?"
It would be something to keep in mind after the evacuation, at least.
no subject
no subject
Justice is going to keep it in mind. And he's also going to keep this mortal in mind as well, since he generally seems to be the helpful sort, and Justice knows better than to dismiss those when they come along.
"Have you been moving supplies or searching for stragglers?" Or both, as the case may be.
no subject
Jarvis forsees a long bath and a long sleep after this is said and done. Though he imagines it will have to come after helping sort out the citizens once they're out in space as well. He looks out over the throngs of quickly packing and moving townspeople, sad but hopeful.
"I've been doing a bit of both, really. There's never a shortage of things to do. Where might you be off to next?"
no subject
no subject
"A good idea, to be sure. I could come and assist you, if you'd like?"
... No offense, but they might react poorly to a dead-looking dude...
no subject
"Your assistance would be welcome." Justice begins to walk in a seemingly random with a lot of purpose. He's set his sights on a particular straggler's presence.
