Endgame Log: The City

[hadrielmods]

Who: The characters within Hadriel
What: The event log for the Null attack
Where: All over the city (and possibly outside)
When: June 15th
Warnings: None

The battle has been going on for awhile now, but this is when things really begin to kick into overdrive. The Null's primary target is the Door, but their secondary targets are all the god temples - particularly Hope's. It's time to fight, because if you don't, everything is going to end here and now.

Whether you're defending the Door, defending a temple, or finding some other way to fight or offer support to the fighters, you'd better be ready to go all out. The Null certainly are. Their forces seem almost infinite, especially with the way they can drag the remains of Null bodies from the field and repair and reanimate them. But then, that's true for you, too, as Hope flickers around each battlefield throughout the city resurrecting people nearly the moment they fall.

All the gods are fighting at your side. Some will fall, sending currents of emotion through the warriors on both sides, while others will fight on. It may seem like this battle will last forever, but there is an end - when the Null all begin to crumple, the life going out of them, signaling that the killswitch has been activated.

Then it's just you, and the living injured, and the city in ruins. But you've won, no matter what the cost!

rage

[of all the so-called gods, Margaery feels something of a rapport with Rage. they'd discussed the feelings of being responsible for so many lives, as a Queen and as a God, and she feels something of a duty to be here.

she's not dressed in armor, instead being in the gown she'd worn when she came here, when she died for the first time, when she'd fought the Null for the first time.

indeed, there are areas that have clearly been sewn back together, but this gown saw her through to the end of the first battle against the Null. she trusts that it will see her through the last.

she's never met this woman before, evidentially not one for fripperies and fantasies as she'd never visited the Sewing Shop, but she feels something of a kinship with her just the same, given that they are both warriors preparing to do battle]

I'm afraid I cannot; not with my weapon. But I will do my best to clear a path for you.

[It's not exactly battle gear, but what the hell. They're not exactly a well-prepared army to begin with. Might as well see things through with style. She nods in approval at the weapon, which does look sufficient for the scenario.]

Works for me. We've just got to hold them off long enough for the away team to do their thing. Then...

[Then what? She'll worry about it when 'then' is 'now.']

[roseofthetyrells]

[to her, it is. she's learned the sword while wearing gowns, she's learned hand to hand combat wearing the same. and she smiles at the apparent approval. the sword was a gift from Ikaruga over a year ago and it's served her well]

And we shall. There is no other option, at least none I'll accept. Then we'll . . .

[then what, indeed. Margaery cannot go home, she's dead there. so she's going to Earth in hopes she can find her lost beloved]

[storyseeker]

We'll figure that out when it's time.

[All of them will have hard decisions to make, she knows. Some harder than others. But if there's a time for multitasking, this isn't it. They need to focus.]

[roseofthetyrells]

I've already gotten it figured out. [she says with a wink] Margaery Tyrell, once Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. [she says, neatly skewering an oncoming Null.

her grandmother taught her that she always had to be multitasking, calculating all of the angles and trajectories of her actions at all times to achieve the desired result. and she can socialize while killing Null and thinking about her future]

[storyseeker]

Elena Fisher, of America. Nice job.

[roseofthetyrells]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Elena! [and she withdraws her sword from the Null she just killed, raising it to counter an attack from the bladed arm of another Null] And thank you. I had wonderful teachers and fighting the Null the first time was an education in an of itself.
