[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

Yo, snowball. Long time no see. Whaddya mean, explains a lot?

Don't call me that. And been sensing a whole lot of spiritual power all of a sudden, knew it was familiar.

Ohhhh. Right. I fergot that certain people could sense me when I come around.
Aside from that... you got any information for me? Anything else about our shared pasts? Heh. I'll tell ya, I got an interesting memory when I tried to eat that spook. May be relevant to yer interests.

Well there's the fact that we have a teleporter now. Should've flown to Vegas instead of Atlanta; somebody could've told you about it then. [Toushirou, don't criticize; it's not friendly.] Echo boundaries have opened up in a bunch of places, the Animals underground are actually our allies. Obviously, I don't need to tell you the aliens are on their way. Probably not any memories that would be that interesting to you, and I've been getting kind of front-loaded with powers lately anyway. [He's also four inches shorter thanks to the Echo he got on Christmas. Shut up.]
So what exactly did you learn from ghost eating? [He's not even surprised, man. He remembers that whole taking-a-bite-out-of-Danny thing.]

R...really.... Isn't that just... convenient. So you're telling me I could have flown to Vegas, and then TELEPORTED here?! Urrrggg.... Whatever... WHATEVER. It's fine, it's fine. [he's mostly just telling himself that] Now I know.
[he shakes his head]
Wait, other animals? I thought there was just that pink snake. And I thought it was bad, you know, what with destroying half the town and all. Are all the animals pink?
