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.

I see.

[But hey, Tucker is taking a more active role than he'd tried to rope him into, so Rome doesn't complain and simply offers his hand up to be bandaged. Even if it's not perfect, it's not like he could do any better one-handed, and so he keeps his remarks and the slight hisses of pain to himself, biting at the inside of his cheek when it pulls just a little too tight here and there.

Eventually, when it's all said and done, he nods, flexing his remaining fingers to test the strength of the bandages. It's good enough for his purposes.]

Thank you.

[Tucker will never get used to being thanked, he doesn't think. Especially for stuff like this.]

Uh, you're welcome I guess.

[Let's not make a big deal out of it. He shoves the rest of the bandages into his bag with the carrots.]

Does that mean you'll be heading back out there then?

[Clearly he thinks this is a bad idea.]

[leashed]

Of course.

[As if it was ever in any doubt. He hops off the table, patting himself down briefly- pistol, knife, spare bandages- and nudging the raised hem of his pant leg down with the other foot. Rome straightens his jacket as best he can before turning back to Tucker, a small but friendly smile flickering across his mouth.]

I won't forget your help.

[He's already been here too long though and he doesn't give Tucker much of a chance to argue before he leaves, resolute and slightly less run down than he was when he'd entered the building.

Of course, it's the last time Tucker would see him alive until the end of all of this- but who knows? Maybe Rome would have died far earlier if not for the small kindness that'd been shown to him here.]
