(open) crash into me

Date & Time: Mid-afternoon Sunday, May 5th
Location: The Hold and Housing Complex
Characters: All who wish to be in the vicinity!
Summary: The Initiative asked for the Housing Complex to be evacuated starting early morning on 5/5, in preparation for the expected landing of the spaceship stolen from the United Earth. The landing goes horribly wrong when an undiscovered bomb detonates onboard the ship, causing partial engine failure. The ship proceeds to be crash landed into the Housing Complex; no lives, however, are lost.

Warnings: Spaceship crash landings it's all horrible!
Notes: Respond in action tags or prose, as you please!

The ship breaks cloud-cover as a spot of light in the dreary skies, leaving behind the beauty of sunlight above the broken cloud layer as it continues to descend. With the Initiative having instigated an evacuation of the area ahead of time, just in case, those watching in the light drizzle may find it an interesting sight to behold.

Doubtlessly, the United Earth, from its great distance, may have also found it interesting.

The first sign of something going wrong is an explosion visible from the ground. People who hear it might startle; the ship itself goes from a smooth, controlled flight path to one wobbly and filled with dark, flaming smoke. The whine of its remaining engine is slower to reach the ground, though the ship itself seems to pick up a spiraling speed, still controlled to those familiar with watching things that fly come crashing down to the ground.

The Initiative members on the ground are calling for people to get back and take cover. Inside the main Hold, one man at the transport pads hears his radio blast to life and swallows past his own fear, glancing at the active pad waiting to pull in another unlucky soul.

When the ship hits the Housing Complex, it demolishes the upper levels, though the force with which it hits doesn't seem to be the same as what it should be. Combined telekinetic buffering and excellent piloting from a former Guardian of the Universe Galaxy keeps damage to a catastrophic minimum.

Welcome to the fallout. What will you do from here?

That doesn't make any-- a-are you alright?!

[Crashing into a pole... it's like something out of a bad comedy! Though it does give Ada enough time to catch up to him, at least. She kneels down to try and help him up.

(Part of her knows he probably won't like that, but...)

A moment later, she glances at the building and bites her lip.]


What's in there that's so important that you're going to put yourself in grave danger to get it?

Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't need help from you!

[Which also doesn't make sense, but he's a stubborn one.

And, speaking of, she is definitely the last person he wants to admit to about the cat. Time to think of an incredibly vague way to explain this...
]

I'm all but positive that...one of my roommates is still in there.
alreadytainted: (listen up 'cause I won't repeat myself)

If that's the case, then I'm helping you! Don't risk getting one of your roommates hurt just because you're stubborn!

[A moment passes, and as Ada's words sink in, she looks shocked that she actually said such a thing to Elliot. She flushes a mortified red and turns away from him to dart into the apartment complex, calling back over her shoulder -]

Which room is yours?
nobleminded: (accentuato)

[personal profile] nobleminded 2013-05-16 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't believe you said something like that to him, either. And it's not really a pleasant surprise.]

You really do think you can do whatever you want just because you're related to a hero! If there are more people in there, that just-!

[She's already running in, good grief. Well, he'll just have to follow her because despite being a Vessalius, he's not letting someone get hurt; especially not on his behalf.]

It's on the sixth floor! I doubt you'll even make it!
alreadytainted: (righteous fury go)

[personal profile] alreadytainted 2013-05-16 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me?

[Ada looks back at him briefly; it's pretty clear from her expression that she feels a little insulted (and there's no tears, the icon lies). Just for that, Elliot, she's going to stubbornly make her way up the stairs and she won't even think about asking for your help if anything goes wrong.]

I-I am perfectly capable of making it to the sixth floor! Do you think I'm so pampered that I can't even walk?
nobleminded: (crescendo)

[personal profile] nobleminded 2013-05-22 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
You idiot...!

[Well he's going to chase after her now, wow.]

I MEANT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY DANGEROUS. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A VESSALIUS DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T GET HURT BY DEBRIS! YOU PEOPLE AREN'T INVINCIBLE, YOU KNOW! EVEN JACK VESSALIUS DIED!

[...Ah ha ha whoops...]
