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.

Of course. At least, I'll try to - I'm afraid I'm still a novice with this phone.

[He taps his pocket, where his phone is tucked securely away.]

We don't have them where I'm from. I understand the basic functions now, but it takes me a bit of time to get anything done.

[Embarrassing, but true.]

If you have extra food, I wouldn't mind some, but I've managed to fend for myself so far. I don't want to take supplies from those who truly need them.

[claritatis]

Perhaps a pre-written message.

[He could do that very quickly, if the young man wishes it. Anything to make things easier for someone insisting on holding the front line in this manner.]

Easily programmed, to be sent with one command.

[Ignis clasps his hands behind his back.]

And I'll have something brought out to you as soon as I can.

[anoshe]

Could you show me how to do that?

[Part of him is inclined to just hand his phone over and have it done for him, but he'll never learn that way. He retrieves the phone, unlocking it.]

Ah, I'd appreciate that quite a bit. It's getting harder to find anything in the shops.

[claritatis]

Of course.

[To both of those statements, and Ignis wastes no time in closing what distance remains between them to show Rhy what he needs to do. It isn't too difficult to demonstrate, though he is a little distracted by the need to keep himself aware of what is going on around them.

Once he has it set, he gives the young man a short nod.]

All you need to do is press this button here, and it will issue the alert to the network.

[anoshe]

[He watches carefully, taking his attention off their surroundings. He has to - it's so foreign to him that unless he pays close attention, he might not remember. Still, it doesn't seem too difficult, and Rhy is confident that he can press a button. That, at least, is simple.]

Thank you. Once this is all over, I must spend some time learning this device.

[Rhy seems entirely confident that they will make it out alive, as if the alternative isn't even worth mentioning.]
