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? ]

[It's ridiculous, but Justice has to admit that he does not understand mortal niceties and this man probably does. As weird as it is, it might just be necessary to keep evacuation moving smoothly.

That doesn't mean it's not ridiculous.]
I will never understand mortals. [But he will play by their rules because he wants this to be done well. Speaking of, better lead these flustered love birds towards the shuttles.]

So.....I'm guessin' you're not one, then? [Yeah, yeah, he's leading. But no one said he couldn't hold a conversation while he does that!]

You would be correct. I am a spirit. [A spirit who thinks humanity's hangups about their own procreation are fucking weird.]

.....Oookay, well that's a new one. [John, you're friends with a talking candle. It's not new.] How'd that happen?

What do you mean, how did that happen? [Justice frowns at John, but that's not really a change from his neutral expression. He's generally a frowny person.] I am a spirit. I have always been a spirit, just as you have always been a human.
