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? ]

There's still people who need help, [Sorey shouts back over the roar of the shuttle's engines kicking back on. He can still see groups of people waiting to be picked up by returning shuttles, clustering together.] You go ahead Alisha, I'm gonna get everybody left together!

I won't leave you behind! [ Alisha answers near instantly, shaking her head. There's no way that she could. What kind of friend would she be if she did that? What kind of knight or princess would she be? ] Let me be the one to help them instead!

[Okay see but this is the difficult part, because anything Sorey could say to get her to stay, she could throw back into his face for being a huge hypocrite. Sorey glowers for a moment before reluctantly climbing up into the shuttle beside her.] No- you're right. There are other people helping them; we need to go.

[.............except he absolutely plans to jump from the shuttle right as it's taking off. At least Alisha will be on her way to safety then, even if she is angry at him for it.]

Sorey!

[ The instant that Sorey moves to jump is the instant Alisha reaches for him. Didn't he just say that they both needed to go? Though, there's still a chance that Sorey will be too fast for her to reach him... ]

I'm sorry-! [Oh Alisha....please don't hate him for this.

She snags the edge of his Shepherd's glove and he just sheds it, leaves her standing there and clutching it as he just barely makes it out past the doors as they're closing. He just can't leave anyone behind, not even temporarily, not even for her.]

[ She calls for him again, prepared to jump after him - but she's stopped by others in the shuttle. Though she attempts to go after him again and again, she's stopped.

Please be okay, Sorey.

(but honestly, what the hell). ]
