[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for Stampede event
Where: All over the city
When: December 26th-December 28th
Warnings: None

There's a rumbling sound in the air early in the afternoon on December 26th. Whether you're new in town or you've seen it all, something like this hasn't happened before. Is it an earthquake? It feels kind of like a small one, and that might be endurable if not for the sudden snarling and gnashing of teeth!

As it turns out, these yet-unnamed apex predators are overrunning the city, ignoring their previous apprehension to barrel right through anything- or anyone- that stands in their way. Seemingly spooked by something, they are aggressive and violent and won't hesitate to tear anyone they meet to pieces... after trampling them underfoot, of course. They're so large and muscular that they may even take a few portions of buildings with them- how would you like to see one of these monsters crashing through your living room?

At least it's only these weird mammoths, though... right?

[ Stan doesn't intend to go looking for what had started the rumbling but he's not finding himself anywhere close to where he's staying when he comes across Jo. At least he recognizes her. He still doesn't know too many people here -- his own fault, he's not particularly intent to talk to most people. He doesn't trust them which makes for a rather lonely and sulky teenager. ]

Why? [ He hasn't noticed the animals yet, because he's decidedly not looking. ]

[knifecollecting]

[It's harder to see them here, but Jo saw them before. She knows. She gives Stan a once-over and a serious expression.]

Something's coming. A bunch of animals.

[stantheman]

[ Well... that sounds not so worrying but then again not much here is what it seems. ]

What kind of animals...?

[knifecollecting]

Big, alien ones. [Come on. She wouldn't be warning him if it were, like, kittens.]

If you can't fight, you should get into a building.

[stantheman]

[ you never know what people might be scared of or whatever. ]

Okay. [ He exhaled and looked at the different buildings. ]

Not enough time to just go home right?

[ or home as it would be here anyway. ]

[knifecollecting]

[She listens for a moment before turning back to him.]

Where are you staying? How fast can you run?

[stantheman]

I can run pretty fast...

[ He nods in toward the building that would have housed his room. ]

[knifecollecting]

They're kind of like bears. If you see one, get inside. [She hesitates for a moment, not sure if this is a good idea.]

Promise me you'll do that.

[stantheman]

Get inside...where?

[ Like just any old building that wasn't his one? That idea was unsettling, as unsettling as monsters because... well that's just how he is. ]
