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!

another i bites the dust

( The magic resistance is a pain in the fucking ass. She can boost everyone as much as she wants, but the Null won't give an inch. So, instead, Kate has moved over to using the heaviest and pointiest objects she can find and launching them at oncoming Null. Currently, she grips a pair of knives like they're givers of life — and, perhaps in this situation, they are — and slices through the few signs of wires and weakness that show through the Null's casings.

There's not nearly enough of them, honestly, all cracks and slivers she has to force her blades into, but it's all she's got.

A flash of blonde hair catches her attention as she shoves a Null corpse off her knives and jumps back, a glint of metal just behind the familiar form of a friend. )

Behind you—!

( Ah, hell, no time. She flings a knife just behind Lup's head, aiming for the Null and causing little more than a far too agile dodge.

She hates these things. )

[The Null were shitty before, but now that they've upped their magic resistance, now they're just downright annoying.

Lup is already ducking the moment that Kate's warning is shouted her way, the knife whizzing expertly by her head with the elf barely even fazed with how close it comes by. Not after two years of fighting alongside Kate, this is just how the two work. It's why they fit together so damn well.]

Right back at ya!

[Kate focuses to protect Lup, so naturally the elven woman rushes forward to do the same. Direct offensive magic may not work against the newly reinforced automatons, but that doesn't mean all of her magic is suddenly useless. Ice and fire may be stunted, but shocking the fucks to death still works just fine. She casts lightning bolt and zaps the main processor of the unit approaching Kate, overloading it until it bursts.]
