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

[ohgodohgodohgod he should go to Galapagos, that's the only place he can get to where things are happening yet oh. huh.

u didn't fall into a pit or get abducted by evil russian scientists wow.

[siesinddasessen]

You sound awfully sure of that; did you hack into any Russian security cameras?

[espigeonage]

maybe

i am a hacker now after all

[siesinddasessen]

How good?

[espigeonage]

can you even measure that okay im a 70th level black palaidn hacker

[siesinddasessen]

Out of how many levels?

[Yes, this is exactly the kind of conversation that family separated for many months should have, after so much happened.]

[espigeonage]

70. theres things i cant do but its a class thing.

you may have noticed im not dead either.

[siesinddasessen]

Not dead and also not in a coma. Congratulations.

[She's really glad to see him not dead or in a coma, really. But how to express affection without seeming attached? Because she totally isn't. At all. In the least. Not even a little bit.]

[espigeonage]

i did lose my face and hot topic is selling stuff based on my image. some would say thats almost as bad.

[siesinddasessen]

Hot Topic?

[Excuse her while she figuratively rolls around laughing. Literally, she's only sitting there and laughs harder than she has laughed... well, since before becoming a titan.]

You got special style, don't you?

[espigeonage]

i had to sue for royalties

tween girls love me im the cute pastel alternative to edward cullen or xtian grey

[siesinddasessen]

So how rich are you now?

[espigeonage]

comfortable

not that that does any good with the moon doing hula hoops but it was nice

[siesinddasessen]

You expect money to go out of use because the moon has turned into something else?

[espigeonage]

well with the panic over it and the earthquakes and big waves world economys going to suffer and that's assuming this is all

idk why its doing this maybe the laughing sound freaked it out

[siesinddasessen]

What kind of laughing sound?

[She has a good idea as to why she didn't hear that one if it was in Lapland, too, and if it wasn't - well.]

[espigeonage]

sounded like a kid but from nowhere and looks like everyone heard it

guess it was a signal or smth

[siesinddasessen]

Don't say "everyone" so quickly.

Anyway, where are you now?

[espigeonage]

locke

you?

[siesinddasessen]

Stay there.

I'll come over.

[espigeonage]

make it quick i cant stay here forever

[siesinddasessen]

"There" being somewhere in Locke, not your specific position.

[espigeonage]

with this going on ill go to another zone soon idk which one

but i can get anywhere in locke in a hurry

where do you want me

[siesinddasessen]

Wherever I end up. Using that ghost zone thing. [So who even knows. She'll be able to travel fairly quickly in Locke though, if she gets into her titan form.]

[espigeonage]

all right then

i hate that place
