rekindleme | Operation Reignition

Who: Anyone who wants to participate in the event!
Where: Assorted places in and around District 3!
When: Sunday afternoon (the 30th)
Summary: POWER IT UP AND GO SHOPPING.
Warnings: None.

By late morning, it's obvious that there's something going on down by the bridges to District 3. Even if you missed the announcement on the network, it's pretty obvious that something is going to happen; townspeople mill about with interest as people set up tables. Irene and Mai are roaming the area, Mai mostly sticking to the medical teams standing by while Irene organizes the rest of the group. Keener eyes might spy one of the brothers responsible for the network, slipping off into the Third District through gates that stand open, but still guarded against any visitors who might attempt to approach before things are ready to go.

Off to one side, there's a shaded area, tents and a few chairs where visitors can wait to be allowed entry. There's a table full of water bottles and light snacks tucked up against the wall, to fortify you against the heat of the afternoon - and it is warm, and only going to get warmer. The natives seem to have accepted the baking sun as the normal way of things, but be careful that you don't get heatstroke.

At about half an hour past noon, someone brings out a little podium and sets it in front of the gate. Irene climbs up on it, holding a microphone in front of her mouth - her voice echoes from a number of speakers set up through the area.

"Alright, could I have my first group of volunteers over here, please? We've got your instructions ready for you to enter the district."

Looks like it's showtime. Are you ready?

((ooh; Event start! OOC information can be found here and here.))

[ The last thing Saber feels inclined to do is help those who snatched a large number of unsuspecting and unwilling people from their worlds. Even so, the afternoon finds him doing precisely that. While he strongly disagrees with it and resents Irene and her fellows for it, the truth is that he doesn't actually know who mandated the abducting. To punish everyone in Saeng Seong for what might be a small group's decision would be no more just than the kidnapping itself. If the people truly need energy to their homes, then they should have help. Besides that, hopefully the sooner they get what they want, whoever is in charge will send them home, rather than continue to keep them as their own personal batteries for Saeng Seong.

And, of course, no matter how "safe" things are supposed to be, not everything always goes smoothly and Saber already doesn't trust their hosts. It only makes sense to suspect there may be those few places that are more dangerous than the rest of the district, in addition to those few well-intentioned who can't really take care of themselves getting into trouble. Saber ventured into the warehouses with this in mind, but he didn't think he'd be getting into trouble.

Definitely starting to feel the draining effect that was mentioned, Saber stops walking and leans a shoulder against one of the warehouse doors, taking a moment to catch his breath. He feels a little weaker than he ever has since arriving in the city, but it's not anything he can't handle. It's uncomfortable and frustrating, but he'll be able to continue onward soon, if not right away. ]
