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

[No skin off his nose that she doesn't apologize. He doesn't need it, and she always did that too much, anyway. He shakes his head.] Hell if I even know. Just getting people inside would protect them from mine, but there's collateral damage to worry about when we're talking about what the aliens would do.

Yeah. Miles. "Subjugation of the Heavens", apparently. Controlling all atmospheric water in that range.

[She listens carefully as he mentions his power, and for a few seconds after that, she's quiet as she considers. Then, slowly, she assembles an idea.]

Is there any reason you and I couldn't draw something up out of ice? Make a safe place from that, and hope for the best? Maybe we can save people that way.
icy_heavens: (Sympathy)

[He considers it for a minute. He's very heavily offense-based with his powers, but he's pretty good at directing his spiritual power by now.] It might work. Worth a shot. I don't know all the limits on that barrier spell I have, but I don't think it'd cover near as much as what we could do with this.
peacefulwinter: (As long as you're sure.)

And your barrier might be a problem if you need to focus on it when it gets hit. Ice is matter in and of itself - I don't think we have to worry about that.

...And it's not like ice is a problem if it gets covered in more ice.
