[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
- For the returnee registration, please go here.

"And beyond you and I, it's not just us. We've got friends. And with those friends we have power."
Her form pops back from Cure Moonlight into Lily as Cologne sweeps back by her head. "So that begs the question then, Moonlight... What do we do? Enemies have not yet arrived, but the world is starting to get rather chaotic."
"Right, I guess we don't have a terrible lot of time to linger, though," Lily murmurs, looking up at the sky. "We need to get a move on." Her eyes drift to Winter. "Ideas, fearless leader?"
no subject
Forcing herself to take deep, regular breaths, she stars to come back down a little bit, but her voice is sharp and more than a little unsteady. "No. No, there's no time. We have to get moving. It's selfish, but Mama and Papa come first. We'll call them, get them together somewhere, and we can open up something with the Mirage right in front of them. We'll find somewhere to keep them safe here. After that, we need to start making arrangements to get everyone together, and start organizing our response. We can't just go off separately, or we'll all die alone. They'll start... here. Here, and in Las Vegas, where the Animals are gone. If the Animals are something to defend the Earth from invaders, and they have enough intelligence to attack even knowing what our capabilities are, then they'll start out where they can attack without anything major in the way."
Her eyes start to dart around, looking at her surroundings. Her city. Her entire life, about to come under attack without warning. Even as the despair pools in her heart, she can feel her temper rising. "We're not going to go down without a fight, but we're going to have to focus. Everything we have, everything we are, is going into this. And we don't have any time to prepare, but then, we never have before."
no subject
She holds out her other hand and concentrates. The Heartcatch Mirage appears in it with a flash, and she evens her own breathing. As much as fear and apprehension swirls within her, Lily knows that now, more than any other time, she has to remain calm. Strong. For her sake, as much as Winter's, or Jasmine's, or anyone's.
"For now, we're going to Las Vegas. April is going to throw a fit at us prying her away from the hospital, but we have to do what we have to do." Concentration again, picturing where they need to go, and she presses the appropriate keys. A burst erupts before them, in the middle of the street, drawing looks even as people flee in their own panic. "Let's go. Then we'll gather everyone, and... We'll fight. And we'll win because we have far too much to fight for."
She flashes a smile back to the other young woman. "Agreed?"
no subject
As Lily calls up the Mirage with an ease Winter still hasn't managed, she tries not to fret quite so much. "Mm. Jasmine can handle him. Probably. I'll leave that to her. We... we have to go. To Vegas. Before they land. Mama will complain, but complaining is better than being-" The thought of her mother being dead somewhere makes her queasy, and she shakes her head. "-than being in danger. And if things go the way we think they will, we'll need her talents here. To keep us fighting. So..."
Summoning all her strength, all her courage, she smiles back, though there's something feral and dangerous to it. "So we can win this. The aliens picked the wrong rock to try and take. This one is ours, and we're not sharing. Together, we're going to kick them off our planet."
no subject
She does catch the pause in Winter's sentence, there. She understands what she must be thinking, and honestly she can't blame her. So... it's her duty then to relieve that fear.
"You're right. That's what we got these Numbers for, isn't it? And not just those... That's what a Precure does. We didn't get these powers on accident, and for no reason, after all. So... come on, Winter. Let's go drag your parents back here, and then we'll figure out how we're going to do this."
