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? ]

Ugh. Me too. I need to get to Shay or Anders.

[Preferably Anders, if only because he can close it up and it'll be quicker than what Shay can do as a medic.]

Is your shuttle far?

I hear you on that one.

[He may be a SCIENCE GUY but he is not so foolish as to ignore the help healing can do. ]

It's not far. Just around that next corner and a bit, really. Think you can make it? Or I could go bring it to you.

I... think so. I'd rather not be left alone with those insane people wandering about.

[Which she hates having to admit, as someone who takes pride in being able to defend herself in others. But she's not going to be doing any sort of defending in the state she's in.]

I do not blame you for a single, solitary second.

[They are crazy and dangerous and he'd much rather her be where he can defend her if he needs to- as much as he knows that would bruise her pride. Better that, than the alternative. ]

Come on, let's go.

[Riona nods, grimacing as she leans on him for support and starts to walk. She'd kill for some elfroot right now, but she'll just have to grin and bear it.]

[At least it doesn't take them long to get there. Sorry, Riona, no elfroot from Sokka, but as promised, his shuttle is nearby. ]

C'mon, let's get you to help.
