Event Log: End of Arc 2

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters
What: The event log for the End of Arc 2
Where: All over the city
When: November 25th-December 12th
Warnings: A full-scale battle, including character death, NPC death, and various other ways to suffer

It was bound to happen. The Null warned you, after all, and this has been building for awhile - and now it's here. First comes the initial attack, the agents of the Null attacking Hope's temple. Then, an SOS, warning the city of what's happened: a betrayal, and Hope being injured. Luckily for everyone, thanks to the actions of his guards Hope survives the attack. Unluckily, his attacker, the goddess Delight, escapes and lets the Null in.

Flooding into the cave, the Null will attack anyone who they believe is resisting them. They'll destroy buildings and deploy dangerous crowd control weapons, in addition to their sheer strength and speed. Confusion empties the monsters in the tunnels into the city, to help distract the Null. Some gods fight, others provide safe havens, but everyone is in danger.

After about a week and a half of the attack, Fear summons enough power to teleport the city. This stops any new Null from arriving through the tunnels, but the remaining Null must be hunted down and destroyed, or else they'll signal their location to the rest of their species. The danger will lessen as Null are taken out, but things won't really be safe until Fear moves the city again, so don't get too comfortable.

What will you do? Run and hide? Fight? Help the fighters? Turn on the gods yourself? Whatever you do, it's time to make a decision.

Rey stops what she's doing for a moment, not removing her attention from the Null's remains in her hands.

Judging from Oscar's tone, they're in no immediate danger. He would probably have something much different to say if there was another wave of attacks coming their way.

She cants her head, digging into the mess of wires that makes up the synthetic's body. Whatever it is that makes them able to shapeshift, she wants to be able to figure out how. This technology is something more advanced than anything she had seen from her world, or even Nick's.

After several seconds, she finally answers.

"Nothing that can't be tolerated."

This is more important.

He moves toward her, eyeing what she is doing with some uneasiness along with a small helping of morbid interest while letting the renewed silence of the building settle around them. He stands at the other side of what remains of the mechanical body so that he can face her.

"I cannot tell whether your bio-mechanical makeup requires nutritional sustenance. If so, you may help yourself to this bag's contents when you are done." He silently holds up a small bag for her to see, then lowers it back to his side. Sadly, there is little to be found in it, his only recent findings of the edible variety being three cans of vegetables. It is still better than nothing at all.
