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? ]

[Ignis turns his head at the feel of the large cat's head on his shoulder. He knows it's Hermione, but it doesn't seem real at the same time. Woman, cat, witch, all the same in one package that he cares very deeply for.

He runs a hand over her soft pelt and just barely reins in the desire to kiss her fur.]


This is hardly sleeping, Hermione. Rest while you can. While there's down time.

[ She nudges against him for a moment, but she does finally move and curl up at his side. Her wings fold down beside her, and her head rests on haw paws as her eyes finally close.

One wing does move, slowly, to wrap around Ignis, just settling there for a moment - to keep him warm and safe, too, just in case. ]

[He doesn't stir as the wing wraps around him to protect him, basically, but it is nice. Sleep is far away from anything he can possibly do when she is so close to him.

However, he does allow himself to relax just a bit, one hand resting on her nearest limb.]
