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

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.

Controlled demolition by giant robot is noisy. It's alright.

...and pretend it's a giant scarf. A giant living scarf.

That is around the area of what I am trying to think of, yes.

Hey, if you need me to talk to you while I do this, I can keep it up, just... wait for me to actually come back later.

It's just so... STUPID that I'm being affected like this. You think I'd care more about the fact that it's hitting the earth over and over than... it being a big reptile.

Well that's kinda how phobias and stuff work, right? They don't make sense. That's like, the definition.

... Okay, point taken. But that doesn't make it any less frustrating...!

No. No... and I'd hug you right now if I- [ Smash boom crash. ] Could. Just keep your chin up and hope that things doing more good than harm, because if it's wrecking this much and still doing more good than harm...

Well, we probably need it.

You're... [ Marina pauses. ] A little. Sorry. I'll get back to you when I get a break, then?

Sure. You're doing something important right now, and... I need to get my shit together before I can even begin to help out there. I trust you, Marina. Good luck, okay?
