Event 1: Gods and Monsters

[Time is a bit difficult to measure in this place. The storms that rage beyond your safe barrier, overtaking the horizon with their shifting lights and shadows, aren't doing it any favors. If you were to ask Athena, she'd say it's been about a week since your arrival. And since then... there's been scant signs of things improving.

Today, you wake up to quiet. No drone of distant winds. Not even birdsong breaches your bedrooms. Like a inhaled breath, the world seems to have paused.

And then, it exhales. The ground under your feet trembles and shakes. Dirt flies. Rocks shower down from the direction of the cliffs.

There, like an open wound stabbed into the earth, was a large crack where there wasn't before, spilling out an oppressive red light. Stranger still, some larger rocks are floating over the opening itself.

...Investigate?

[ha ha what]

[That's probably fine. Anything stopping her from approaching and looking down into the crack?]

[Luna takes to the sky as soon as the ground starts shaking, hovering only a foot or so above the heads of most others. Earthquakes are one thing, but that red light certainly does not seem to bode well...]

Keep thine distance! I shall investigate!

[Flapping closer to see what's what!]

[hey you know who DOESN'T want to invesigate that??? THIS GUY.

Quark is defnitely going to be hanging back away from it, looking really pretty nervous about it.]


So, uh...who's gonna go check that out because it isn't going to be me.

[... Look, Aglaea may not be a front-line fighter these days, compared to Mydei and Phainon, but she's not going to stand around and do nothing.

Yeah she's absolutely going to approach. The glint of her threads appear and disappear around her, almost like a barrier, and every so often, there's a crackle of electricity along them.]

[That's not good.]

[WELL. THIS IS CERTAINLY A THING NOW.

Ranma doesn't panic when the ground beneath him quakes, though as the fissure erupts in the earth, he makes haste rushing over to check it out.]


Uhhh... Is this... normal?

[red flags so many red flags]

I AM FLYING INTO THE CRACK.

[ And he begins to do just that. ]

[Mutsumi should probably stay inside and let the adults handle this.

But... everyone's been so kind to her. She's got to pay them back, right? So slowly, ever-so-slowly, she creeps outside her room. Holding a frying pan. Just in case.]

Great idea! I'll stay right back here. Have fun!

Cool, have fun.

[Zvei is used to putting himself in danger in the name of study, so like. Yeah he's going to check it out, why the hell not. Besides, we might need a healer on hand!!]

[Cerejeira spots her over there. something about her just holding the frying pan... babygirl...]

...Don't get too close, okay?

[Ferdinand, being the morning type that he is, was up early enough to 'hear' the eerie stillness. But any routine is broken by having to tend to poor Derick. The wyvern, perhaps like the missing birds, can sense something and is unruly and anxious even as Ferdinand tries to soothe him.

The sudden shaking makes the beast flap his wings and roar, and Ferdinand curse, clinging to his flank to not fall over. With a grunt he grabs the near by pole he used a few days ago in his spar with Athena and hauls himself onto the saddle. Up they go to investigate]

[muttered] Good riddance.
raisethemoon: ([I shouldn't have to prove])

[personal profile] raisethemoon 2025-07-12 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So we shall!

[well at least someone listened]

[personal profile] sweetsynergy 2025-07-12 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll see if I can find you a cool hell rock!

[Waving over her shoulder, not looking.]

[Also being airborne now thanks to Derick, Ferdinand follows suit, though a bit further back. Luna is apt to be faster than the bulky wyvern if she's anything like the pegasi back home]

Be careful Your Highness!

[ well, the flashiness some of the others are taking with this all seems rather unnecessary. sayo advances with a kitchen knife and a makeshift sheath, getting close but not leaping into the maw like some people.

she still looks like she'd blow away in a stiff breeze, though.

Great, thanks! See you when you get back!

Ah.....

[She is NOT flying into the crack, there he goes...maybe she should go after him. Many ponies probably would! Luna.......is gonna stay outside the evil chasm, thanks!]
catsgothistongue: (Pumped up!)

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2025-07-12 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hang on, I'm comin' with you!

[ ... Okay, she was also going to stay the hell away from all this but seeing Mutsumi creeping up like this has her sort of... ]

Um... Mutsumi-chan? Why don't we stick together for now?

[ And. Hopefully away from whatever all this is. ]

Talk shit, come with. ]

[Well, since Seymour is quite capable of defending himself should the need arise, he'll be approaching that crack to get a better look at it.

We don't love not having Anima here, but y'know, we can cope.]
