[plot] Water in the desert I
Who: Cultists, an alien, and YOU, the (un-)invited numbered!
What: Gossipping. Weird lobster worship. Speeches. Fingerfood and other snacks. Dealing with cultists in general. The beginning of the geographical changes in Las Vegas and appropriate PANIC.
When: 22nd
Where: Thomas & Mack Center; The University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Warnings: People from the ranks of the cultists have committed murder and other crimes in the past; those deeds will, if mentioned, be treated in a glorifying manner or at least be condoned.
The cultist gathering takes place on the evening of the 22nd at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. The cult has rented the large multipurpose Thomas & Mack Center. The entrances are controlled, the guards cult members who will check the membership of everyone who enters. Numbered with invitations will simply have to either show their invitation or prove that they are the numbered in question; numbered that are not invited but not on the anti-invited list will be let in if they announce interest in their purpose or in learning more about themselves.
There is a large lobster statue in the middle of the hall, a high stage behind it. A pool of water surrounds both, filling the whole center.
A. Arrival and first stage
Snacks and drinks are handed out everywhere and the cultists chat happily with everyone who is around - they will happily talk to numbered as well, calling them "special ones", "superheroes" or "children". Some are rather excited about them being there, others less, but there is clearly nobody that doesn't think positively about it.
B. Ceremony/Worship and Announcements
As the lights go out, people will stop talking and put down whatever they are holding. What follows is a ceremony of roughly an hour that mostly includes singing, meditation and some short speeches on cleansing oneself and being true to oneself, and one on how those that don't do it will fall and burn. Cultists will be happy to give numbered pointers re: what happens next and what they should do.
Afterwards, what seems like all head cultists - those with the sign that causes echoes step on the stage and one after another address the gathered public, some longer, some shorter. Some are of more technical nature - number of members, funds, expansion plans -, others very philosophical, and yet others religious. There is talk of the city being lost and impossible to clean, but that the those who trust in Refined Shell will be saved. That all members may take it into their own hands to clean themselves and help the world be cleaner, but that soon, Refined Shell will be with them, and her children with her. Her children will guard her and be guided by her, as they all should be; and though it is harder for them to see their true core than it is for normal humans, and many will be lead astray, those that succeed will lead the world to a better future, and those that follow Refined Shell now will be the first when that time comes.
At this point, they'll call out to all numbered in the audience, and cultists sitting nearby numbered people will encourage them to get down to the stage, wade through the water and get up there to introduce themselves and say hi. The whole audience will cheer for those that dare to go down, and they'll be offered a seat on the stage.
C. Aftermingle and Panic
After the official part is done, there is general mingling and people are slowly starting to leave... just as the first earthquake hits the room. And then another one, and then steam rises from the water in the middle of the hall, and after a bit it starts to boil. The handful of cultists that is packing up on stage screams in terror at their only way off it suddenly being made up of boiling water, and most of the cultists leave the building in similar panic. FUN ALL AROUND.
♒ You may play cultist NPCs yourself, but if you'd like a mod-npced cultist to talk to your character(s), please indicate it in your subject line when the thread starts and/or preferably notify Fae here.
♒ Please put up your own thread starter under the appropriate heading A, B or C.

"Do you think we honestly believe that?! I swear, when this is over you and your buddies are answering some QUESTIONS!"
And she eyed Marina next.
"And for the record, no one hurts the girl with blue hair, understand?!"

Another rumble, and she frowns. "More than likely it's--" Right there, her mind grinds to a halt. The light. Vermini. Earthquakes. It's happening quicker, but... the pattern was undeniable, wasn't it? "Oh my God! No, no I'm pretty sure they're not behind this...!"
no subject
Lily, close by, represents something else she needs to concern herself with - that edge of nervousness is a little more than she's ready to deal with. "Nobody deserves to die. Nobody else needs to get hurt. We can do this. Right, Moonlight?" Taking a deep breath, she shakes her head, eyes not leaving the water she's still working with.. "It's just like I thought. We're run-running out of time. Once this stops... the final hour is almost at hand." Significantly more quietly, just for Lily's ears: "I have no desire to fight a city-sized lobster."
no subject
"...is there gonna be a rock lobster? I don't think I can fucking take this." Marina please focus on the task at hand.
no subject
Jasmine bites her tongue, but nods Lily all the same. And then... and then Marina had to say that.
"Oh no, we are not fighting THAT! I'm not even gonna let it come up! I'm going to-"
Jasmine's words were suddenly interrupted by a piece of the cieling suddenly falling down. Jasmine sped to the right, but it managed to strike her in the arm. Jasmine's eyes widened... it was just like the bullets during the Project Jump theft.
"... I..." she began to say, but her voice just trailed off. Shaking her head, she moved to start intercepting more rubble.
no subject
...dammit. No, they'd have to focus on that later. When death wasn't a possibility.
She focuses her eyes back on Winter, and finds herself nodding. Re-focusing herself, trying to zero in on the situation at hand. She starts to open her mouth when a chunk of rubble suddenly comes falling for them. Not saying anything, moving in the blink of an eye, she tosses up a hand, summoning a shimmering shield of energy that it thus crashes against.
"We can do this, but I don't think we can stay here for much longer!"
