[plot] Invasion: Day 1
Who: EVERYONE + Returnees
What: Day 1 of the Invasion!
Where: EVERYWHERE
When: ICLy: The 29th! OOCly: April 29th to May 4th
Warnings: Please warn in your subject line if anything that deserves a warning occurs; this includes R-rated things as well as things worthy of a content warning/trigger warning.
The Central info post
Description: A minute after midnight EST, some people around the world who used to be numbered yet have lost their echoes since suddenly have all their pulses returned to them.
At 4pm EST, a child's laughing voice resounds in the air all around the world, remaining for over a minute and staying longer where it gets caught in the echo between buildings, mountains, or other echoing surfaces. Not long after, people in areas where the moon is visible (like those in Europe) will see pink lights on the moon, like a pink aurora borealis from above going all the way around the moon, and then the whole moon changes shape. Literally. It unfolds into a giant serpent that soon can be seen from everywhere around the world as it moves to wrap around the world, tossing and turning head and tail as if trying to hit and bite nasty flies. ...And if someone gets out a telescope, they'll realize that the serpent is doing exactly that: There are tiny spaceships attacking it and trying to pass by it, but for now it is holding up. ....You might maybe rather get to safety than get your telescope out though, because the serpent sometimes smashes down into the earth in its tossing and turning, and while it doesn't hit inhabited areas that still causes tsunamis and earthquakes. Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and Erich von Däniken will announce that it's totally aliens!!! SEE THEY CALLED IT. Ancient astronauts that gave the earth culture are coming back to us!
What this day is for: This day is mostly for reconnecting with returnees and dealing with the last wave of plot echoes. It is also for catastrophe relief efforts for areas that are hit by tsunamis or earthquakes. The only echo boundary that will be devastated in this way are the Galapagos Islands. Characters that can fly or have special swimming abilities are especially invited to help with rescuing people and delivering first aid. (Icly, the talks with the first wave aliens also happen here and they will be wrapped up or dropped after the 4th of May. You are still welcome to jump in and talk to an alien!)
How this works:
- Day 1 does not have any alien encounters past those in this log.
- There will be no toplevels on this post. Please start your own threads freely! Please format the subject line like this: "Location(s)/Network | ota/closed/etc". Please keep in mind that each character may change location twice per day (=a maximum of three different locations) and that the moon/space location is still off limits on the 1st Day.
- This post can be used for both network and action threads.
- Keep in mind that returnee characters must have checked in and must request their echoes if they get any.
- Please direct all questions to this thread on the General Invasion Guide

Galapagos, Action/Network, Open
There's been a lot of running around from the moment the snake awakened. In fact, she'd been busy earlier, helping out with the Miracle Bouquet Light distribution, but everything everywhere leaped into overdrive when that massive serpent awakened, and found her sprinting to the Tsukuyomi home, with one brief pause for a chat along the way...
Reports flooded in. That giant serpent; the moon; Earth's ultimate guardian? It seemed like it was protecting them from something, and that something was alien invasion, what their guests had been prepping the Earth for, in one way or another, this whole time. The thought of how they'd hamstringed themselves fighting their own guardians rankled, and this one was causing devastation as well.
The aliens hadn't landed. There was only one thing for it, and before she could get in touch with everyone who might care, she'd made her way to the islands, using Seles to help move things, lift things, her incomplete Spanish and the incomplete English of everyone else facilitating just enough communication to work.
Audio
[ The crashing and crackling of Seles shoving heavy objects aside, then drifting through the air carefully - a perfectly timed return of an ability - was muffled, the Mashin itself facilitating this communication from within. ]
At the Galapagos Islands helping with the relief effort. Sorry everyone for running off so suddenly, but I figured I have some of the best 'muscle' for moving debris, so I wasn't really thinking.
Keep me updated. If it comes to a fight... when it does... that'll be even more important than this, and I'm gonna give every ounce of my power to make sure the Earth is safe.
[ Thank goodness she's got something occupying her mind and body enough to stave off the nerves. ]
[audio]
When she catches Marina's feed, she picks up her phone to check in.] It's okay. You're... probably the best suited of anyone to work there. I'll be trying to keep everyone abreast of the situation - it's not much, but our living room is the war room for now. Once things go much further south, I'll be out there myself, but for now, coordinating everyone is more useful than my being out there. Probably.
Thank you, Marina.

That's a hell of a war room we've got though, huh? [ She laughs, because what the hell else is there to do right now? ] Take care of yourself, and everyone else. I have a feeling I'll be back pretty soon.

I'll be safe, I'm more worried about everyone else on these islands right now. Thanks.

[audio]
[ More muffled crunching and crashing, and some yelling in English and Spanish, and then a reply from Marina. ]
I mean, I dunno... I just didn't think about it too much. Don't worry, I'm probably the safest person here.
[audio]
Honey. There is a giant snake wrapped around the Earth. I am terrified of snakes.
And what I just heard does not fill me with confidence.
[audio]
...and pretend it's a giant scarf. A giant living scarf.
Re: [audio]
... Okay. Th-that makes sense.

Well, we probably need it.

Network, Audio;
God. Be careful, Marina. Please. This is all...
[She sighs, and tries to chuckle, but it comes out hollow.] I guess the giant magic robot's probably best suited there, huh?
Audio;
Hey, Seles can fly now. Don't worry about me just yet.
...yeah. The two of us are helping a lot.
Audio;
Don't be silly, Marina. It's just like with anyone else I care about... I'm never not going to worry.
But- but I'm glad.
Audio;
Audio;
[A sigh.] I've got faith you can do whatever you need to, Marina. For them, and for whoever needs it.
Audio;
Audio;
I'll trust that, Marina. I believe in you.
[A beat.] If it wasn't for all the power you've already got, I have to imagine the Heart Tree probably would have sought you out, as well.

Audio;
I'm trying to pay you a compliment, you realize.
Audio;
Oh, right, the whole thinking I'm worthy bit. I guess you're probably right.
