(open) crash into me

[whatsupcroc]

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?

[Giggling is good! His jokes are rarely laughed at, so hearing her laugh actually perks him up quite a lot.]

Ah, but don't you think I can imitate her glare really well? [He folds his arms across his chest, slouching and scowling sullenly.] 'Ore ore!'

[eyecaptivating]

[Oh, it's not use. She can't even attempt to keep a stern face at that. She only giggles all the more, turning into a full out laugh, and covers her mouth with one hand.]

You... You don't look anything like her! Not even a little!

[duplicitoussight]

Oi, oi idiot, don't say something like that--! [But seeing her laugh makes him laugh too and he breaks his composure, shoulders shaking as he tries not to keep on guffawing.]

I'm insulted! I thought I did a good job at imitating her!

[eyecaptivating]

[Still laughing, she shakes her head and wipes at her eyes. Oh, that really was terrible.]

You shouldn't let Leader see you do that! I don't think she'll be happy with how badly you did it.

[duplicitoussight]

[He folds his arms behind his head, beaming.]

Leader's always grumpy. Jokes like these are something she needs. I wish she had your sense of humor, Kisaragi.

[eyecaptivating]

[She straightens once she's managed to regain her composure, her worries about her brother momentarily forgotten.

Oh, Kano, she's hardly got the best sense of humor...]

But she works really hard as our leader, doesn't she? She just needs us to help her have some fun!

[duplicitoussight]

[... Kisragi's adorable with how much she admires Kido...]

That sounds like a dangerous mission. I wonder, I wonder if you'd be up for something that risky...!

[eyecaptivating]

Ah, eh?! [A mission to make Kido have fun... Possibly the hardest mission she'll ever undertake!!]

Um, I... I can try. I'd do my very best so Leader can have fun!

[duplicitoussight]

Then it's settled! [He flashes a thumbs-up!!] Once things have settled down, we'll set the operation in motion!

[eyecaptivating]

[She grins at him. Wow, maybe Kano isn't so bad, after all--!]

Got it! As soon as we're all safe again... I'll remind you! Oh, but don't tell Leader about it yet.

[duplicitoussight]

[He presses a finger to his lips, grinning back.]

Don't worry, don't worry~ My lips are sealed~

[eyecaptivating]

[She mimics his action, giggling.]

All right, and don't forget it! I'll hold you to that.
