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.))

"Well, I mean... just if. You know."

Yeah, maybe she's said a little too much. It's something she's deeply suspicious about, but maybe this isn't the sort of thing she should be saying to everyone. If she turns out to be wrong, all she's accomplishing is causing needless worry.

"If." Right. Deadlock normally likes small words, but not that one.

"Thing is we won't know until it's probably too late." Ray of sunshine, he is.
drank_the_milk: (Considering)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably not. But that doesn't mean we can't be careful in the meantime."

It's most likely not a very reassuring thought, unfortunately.

"That's why I signed up for this - to see what's really going on with these generators. We actually didn't find out about the one in the other town until after about two years of fighting back. The fact that this place is just telling us it's here and how it works might mean it's actually on the up and up."

She doesn't sound entirely convinced, but it's still a possibility.
driftlock: (serious)

"I'm always careful." Said in that slight huff that means he's probably defensive, because he's definitely the type to run in headlong.

"Or it might mean they know we have nowhere else to go." He's always looking on the bright side.

"How'd you defeat it, anyway?"
drank_the_milk: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-02 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Actually, uh... we kind of blew it up."

She looks pretty embarrassed and ashamed about that, though.
driftlock: (heh)

[personal profile] driftlock 2013-07-02 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah?" That gets an appraising look. He didn't think she had it in her. "Good plan."
drank_the_milk: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-02 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Haha, thanks."

It's actually way more complicated than that, but she's not going to go into those sorts of specifics here.
driftlock: (dubious)

[personal profile] driftlock 2013-07-04 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Might have to do that here." For a start. "You got any clue about what they really want from us?"
drank_the_milk: (Concern)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-04 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"They might not want anything."

Nothing except watching them suffer. She's seen that before too.
driftlock: (silhouette)

"Then why bring us here? Why keep us here?" He scowls. "Have a fraggin' war to fight. I don't have time for this."
drank_the_milk: (Angry)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-05 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"They could just be playing with us."

It wouldn't be too far outside the realm of possibility.
driftlock: (silhouette)

[personal profile] driftlock 2013-07-06 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sounds about right." Deadlock's made of bad manners and paranoia. "Problem is, we're fraggin' stuck here. For now."
drank_the_milk: (Huhuhu~)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-07 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"It probably won't be forever, though."

Just... between six months and two years, in her experience.
driftlock: (dubious)

[personal profile] driftlock 2013-07-07 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, could only be till they get bored and decide to kill us."

Optimism?
drank_the_milk: (Mouuuu~)

[personal profile] drank_the_milk 2013-07-07 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Exactly."
