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.

Probably not the best ideas any other time, but I promise to deliver you to safety today.

[ There's still plenty of Null skulking about. Some people she knows have already been taken out by them. It's a madhouse, but hopefully still one they can try to navigate. ]

Just can't promise it'll be a smooth ride there.

I don't need escorting somewhere safe.

[Julie's immediate bristling no doubt speaks volumes of how she sees her position in this particular madhouse. Rose is not the first person to offer to 'deliver her to safety' and she's refused the offers almost every time.]

I'm out here to fight, not to be everyone's excuse to be a hero.

[hasitsthorns]

Firstly, I'm not a hero. Never have been and never will be.

[ What a spitfire, Rose thinks. Makes sense that she's out here, but- Everyone has a limit. ]

Secondly, nothing wrong with taking a moment or two recharge. But if you'd rather keep fighting, that's fine too.

[redwinekindofgirl]

When I need to recharge, I will, but right now I'm getting so sick of everyone looking at me like I'm someone who needs taking care of.

[A spitfire, she is. There's a fire in her eyes as she hoists her rifle up.]

We done? Can we go now?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Yikes. Alright. Rose remembers a time when she was that indignant, when she was that sure that she didn't need anyone or anything. That she didn't need to stop.

She wonders how long it'll take Julie before she gets worn down. Of course, the woman hopes that she doesn't get to the point she has. Rose wouldn't wish that on anyone. ]

Yeah, let's get going. I'll lead you back out there.
