(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?

Back down won't be a problem.

[ Jabberwock can easily fly them down, getting back won't present any difficulties in his mind. It's getting all the way up that concerns Leo more. The first floor looks relatively unscathed, but there's no doubt that the higher up they go, the more unstable their surroundings will be.

Still, he'll follow Elliot without question. Besides, now that he's inside . . . ]


Ah, maybe I can save same of the books too . . .

This place will be in worse shape by then!

[Yeah, he hasn't really considering catching a ride with a Chain.]

WHAT?! The books aren't living...!

[Wait, this is Leo he's talking to. He's still not completely positive Leo didn't agree to be his servant just for the library.]

We'll get Arietta first and see how well this place is standing, okay?!
flecks: (twenty-five ▎pleasant.)

We can leave through the window and fly down.

[ Jabberwock's wings aren't just for show after all and Leo has no qualms using his Chain that way. What else does he have it for? It can be plenty useful outside of battle too.

The remark about books might have not been entirely serious and so Elliot indulging comes as a pleasant surprise that gets a good-natured laugh out of him. Naturally, if possible, he would like to save at least the library's books. ]


Okay, okay. Did Asch name her? [ Because Arietta doesn't strike him as a name Elliot would have thought of. ]

Fly- Wait, you want to keep using that thing?!

[Riiiight, Leo, whatever helps you sleep at night. Or not sleep. He's pretty sure you'll save as many as you can if you get the opportunity.]

That's right! So if it's anybody's fault she hasn't gone back to where she came from, it's his!

[Because you totally don't know Elliot likes cats already, shut up.]

It'll be fine.

[ . . . Yeah okay, he would.

And really, that earns the most unimpressed, disbelieving look he can manage in the current situation. ]


Somehow I doubt that.
nobleminded: (sentito)

[personal profile] nobleminded 2013-06-07 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
IT'S TRUE!

[No it's not. At least they're at the sixth floor now so Elliot can focus on throwing open the door?]

We'll have to search this whole unit for her!
