Who: Everyone!
What: The event log for the Null Attack event
Where: All over the city
When: May 29th- ?
Warnings: None

What starts as a normal day will begin to herald in the beginning of the end. On May 29th, you might see something in the sky out of the corner of your eye- blink and you miss it, but there's definitely something there, something that's not any kind of animal you've ever seen. Now that you know to look, you may be paying closer attention to the sky in order to catch the next one that flies past- a ship. A ship that that seems to be designed in a way that might remind you of the Null themselves.

As the days pass, it becomes unmistakable- the Null are here and are scouting out the area. It's time to prepare for an immediate attack and start putting all those contingency plans to good use. Will you gear up for a fight and fall into formation? Will you close and lock your doors and stay inside? Or perhaps there's some other plan that you want to enact?

You'll have time to discuss that on the network later, but now you need to start reacting to the Null's actions- which are apparently to start building smaller encampments around the city as they try to find the way inside. Confusion is holding them at bay for now but it might be time to start building some defensive measures and fortifications, because she won't be able to keep them at bay forever.

When they break in, they do so in a big way- with a massive explosion at Confusion's temple that rattles throughout the entire city. It's obvious that something has happened- and what exactly that something is reveals itself shortly when Null begin to flood the city, having broken through Confusion's protection.

This is when the fight escalates to an all-out war. Nobody is spared, and they're watching everyone from above. What will you do? How will you keep the ones you love safe? How can anyone survive this? All you can do is fight back, all we can do is wait. Good luck, Hadriel.

[she's fairly sure that Varys knew who really killed Joffrey, but Joffrey was a miserable little shit who was only mourned by his equally miserable mother, so!

she watches him set up the traps curiously. they're quite a wonder! it's too bad they didn't have such things during the first Null invasion.

and she laughs brightly] We're all "winging it," I think. I've climbed up and thrown myself down from at least seven trees so far to attack them from behind. Eventually, the wretches will catch on to both of our tricks and so we'll have to come up with new ones.

[They have 'em now, at least, and they've been doing a pretty good job of slowing the Null down so far. Who knows how long that'll last, though?]

You're climbing trees in that dress? And I thought I was good at climbing. You're right, though. We're gonna have to start getting creative here soon.

[precious little time, at least in her experience. then, she'll have to truly alternate between kendo and elven swordplay, to keep the Null from knowing what will come next]

Indeed I am! It's not so bad, once you get used to it. Besides, it's not as though I have to worry about people peeking up my dress. There's no time for that. And what if I serve as the bait to your traps?

I think I'd be more concerned with tripping on my dress and falling out of the tree, but maybe that's just me.

[She can't see it because of his mask, but he frowns at the idea of using her as bait. It's not a horrible idea though, and they could use any leg up over the Null that they could get. Rather than protesting, he thinks it over for a moment.]

That... might work. I can stay hidden in the trees and ambush them, too. With you distracting them, we could probably pick off a bunch that way.

I'm afraid I've gotten so used to it, I barely even notice it anymore. I really don't know what I'm going to do when I get to Earth and have to adapt to their styles. The skirts and dresses all seem so short!

[while she looks completely blase about the prospect of being used as bait. she's survived everything the Null threw at her before and that was when she was completely on her own. now she'll have company!]

Yes, it would work tremendously well! What should I do to attract them? I could scream very loudly, that would get their attention.

[Just don't get blown up by robots, Peter will feel REALLY BAD if you do.]

Nah, there's still long dresses, and you could always take pants for a spin. But anyway, screaming might work? They don't seem too bright, so they might not make the connection between loud screaming and getting ambushed right away.

[she won't get blown up by robots, she's far too good with her sword for that]

Pants? As in trousers that men wear? I could never! And the Null are quick to attack anyone who might seem vulnerable. For the trap to work the best, I should stay on the ground here after I scream. You should hide in that tree right there. [she points to one nearby] And I'll scream. [she takes a deep breath---

---and screams at the absolute top of her voice]
