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? ]

Yes? [Why wouldn't she be? It's not like she's been working herself half to death.]

[Okay, maybe she has, but that's beside the point.]


But I know that armatization can take it's toll. It's good of you to use it to help others, but please don't overdo it.

[After everything Sorey did to help Laphicet, she can't not look out for him.]

Oh...does it? [Like, he's felt tired after dropping the armatus before, but only when they'd both like nearly killed themselves in a fight so he'd have been wiped out anyway.

Either way, despite being emotionally and mentally frazzled, Sorey and Mikleo at least look to be in fine health. He'd been sorta tired until Mikleo showed up and armatized with him anyway, and now he feels kinda great.]
Don't worry about us, Eleanor. Sometimes I think me and Mikleo were made to armatize.

Don't be so dramatic. [Not that he's disagreeing, exactly. It does feel awfully natural.]
