PLOT: WISE SNAKE'S EMERGENCE

Who: OPEN.
When: March 9th, Sunday, daylight hours.
Where: The business district of Locke City.
What: An enormous snake monster is pissed.
Warnings: Violence.

[The alien explodes silently - but it explodes.

First in a small cloud of hot (rose-scented) gas - those there to watch its final moments will want to step back.

A ripple in the air pulses - heavily - from where it once was, with absolutely no sound and color, but penetrating force. Anyone standing within two miles of the point of origin will feel a push, with those closest guaranteed to be knocked off their feet and temporarily dazed. Cars swerve and crash. Staff in the nearest office buildings launch into disarray. There’s no shielding from the blast - it can be felt through walls, through structures, in the air, and underground.

And it is felt underground.

The entire business district starts to shake, abruptly, jarred to a stir by some movement. It rises over the span of a long half-a-minute to the magnitude of December’s earthquake.

Tuning Towers experiences the worst of it - windows are smashing and objects are shaking loose and falling from the upper floors.

It finally ends - with screaming - as the head of an enormous pink snake breaks the lobby floor.

It flows its way quickly out of the hole it’s made, breaks itself another hole ever so politely through the main entrance doors, which were not meant to accommodate a twenty-foot-tall-and-wide exitor, and as it draws the last of its tail out after it, the quaking dies down.

It’s now roaring its way through the streets of Locke City’s business district - all several hundred meters of Wise Snake, emerged in the flesh (or stone?).

No regard for the walls of buildings, streetlamps, civilians, stopped and blindly pulled-over vehicles, anything else on its course - in a frantically-awakened, unrestricted rampage.]



[ OOC: This is part two of the Season 1's finale. The first - the assault on the farmhouse - is here; pertinent plot posts one and two. ]

You're immortal? We should start a fucking club.

[ She hops effortlessly into the air, holding out her hands. ]

And I know I can lift one of you! I've lifted people hella times before. And I can fly better now, so, uh. Who wants a go?

You think we'd have enough members?

[Miria decides to take the lead on this one, as she steps forward and grabs onto Tavia's hands. She flashes a quick smile.]

Let's do it!
drama8om8: (Should the fridge 8e gay)

[personal profile] drama8om8 2014-03-12 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
There's at least four of us now, dude! Which is totally enough for a club. A super exclusive one.

[ Thanks to her new flight upgrades, carrying Miria is no problem at all. Octavia whooshes upwards in a shower of blue sparkles - perhaps faster than expected. She's rising pretty high, so hopefully Miria isn't scared of heights at all. Um. ]

You see anything?

[Isaac rubs his chin, nodding slightly.]

That's pretty good progress! We need to make sure we keep an eye out for new recruits though!

[He shouts that last part fairly loudly now that his buddies are IN THE SKY. Gotta make sure they can hear him.

Speaking of, Miria is mildly alarmed at the FLYING UP INTO THE SKY KINDA FAST-LIKE but she can keep it together. Probably.

She looks around as best she can from THIS INCREDIBLE HEIGHT OH GOD. The streets look kinda tiny from up here but still fairly large. If that makes sense. Nothing really conclusive from this position.

Can you turn me a bit to the left?
drama8om8: (aw yeah just said the word "8utt")

[personal profile] drama8om8 2014-03-13 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Duh! Of course I can.

[ And to demonstrate, she twirls a full 360 degrees before then remembering there was a point to that and adjusting her angle further to the left. By this point, the top of Miria's head is probably covered in sparkly blue dust. SORRY, FRIEND. ]

Anything? Other than like. Rubble.

[ Because damn is there a lot of rubble. Holy fuck. ]

[OH GOD OH GOD STARTING TO GET PRETTY DIZZY. She almost loses her grip for a second, but she manages to hold on. And now she's gonna. Take a second. To breath and stuff. Deal with sparkles.

And Isaac's just gonna casually. Place himself underneath them. Just in case he needs to catch someone.

A couple sparkles end up on him because of it. But SACRIFICES!

Okay. Alright. Feeling better. She focuses on her surrounding, searching for anything of particular note. Dang, she's right. Just tons of rubble. Tons of it. Locke is looking forward to months of construction, no doubt.

Wait. Hold the phone. Miria squints a little at one paricular alley about two dozen blocks away. Sure enough, there it is! That creepy, serial killer-like van that they call theirs. She gestures with her foot in that direction. She immediately regrets this because she starts to wobble again. Otherwise, keeping it together!
]

I can see it! Right over there!
drama8om8: ((what?))

[personal profile] drama8om8 2014-03-13 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Octavia follows Miria's... foot gesture and spots the van. Geez, guys. So unstylish. ]

Want me to fly you both there? Isaac can like. Hold on to your ankles or something. It'll be fun!

[ She starts descending - quite slowly and carefully by her own standards. Which aren't very slow or careful at all, but she's trying. ]
originaloddcouple: (Excited Duo)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2014-03-13 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's the thought that counts. Even if the thought has Miria silently freaking out a bit.]

Yeah, that'd be helpful!

What'd be helpful?

[He didn't hear the conversation. Taking place in the air]

Tavia flying us to the van.

Wouldn't that be dangerous?

Well, we can't exactly die if we fall.

[Long awkward pause full of thinking on Isaac's part.]

...A fair point! Let's go!

[So he grabs Miria's ankles and prepares for whatever horrific things will occur in the next three minutes or so.]
drama8om8: (who ever heard of a t-rex lich)

[personal profile] drama8om8 2014-03-14 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Hold on tight! You're in for a...

[ DRAMATIC PAUSE! ]

fairy fun trip.

[ That was fucking awful and Octavia knows it. So she takes off as quickly as she can - and kind of overestimates the effect that carrying two people will have on her flight speed. As it turns out, it doesn't take any more appreciable effort than just carrying one person does!

Which means the three of them zoom into the air at a ridiculously-nauseating speed. OOPS.

originaloddcouple: (Horrified)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2014-03-15 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause as the couple processes what she just said. Then they both gasp in delight and are about to devolve into a series of giggles when Tavia suddenly takes off.

They don't have a great sense of humor.

They also don't have a great sense of calmness as they FLY REALLY FAST OH BOY OH GOSH THIS IS THE WORST.

Isaac starts to fell incredibly nasceous. He attempts to keep his cool but the inevitable happens. He vomits. The puke flies downward, but with the speed they're going? Almost immediately the pile whams into his chest.

Not a great day.
