Operation Reignition

[rekindlemods]

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.))

"And neither are any of those other things." Kinetic energy with a hint of magic, maybe. It was just as likely as the life force thing. More so, really, since it was based on tangible science. Mostly.

"Why would they tell us it was a quick trip if they didn't have some plan to get generators up and running? What's the evil plan? They keep making us go back and forth?"

[drank_the_milk]

"Beats me. They could just be lying about that stuff. I mean, there's gotta be a catch."

There's always a catch.

[ichoosefight]

Steph just shrugged. Nervous though she was, she had to put on the act of a relaxed sheep simply following instructions and putting blind faith in her jailers.

"Worst case scenario, something seems off at the generator, we go back and tell the entire population they're lying. It's not a great plan on their part." True enough. But there could always be more to it than they were seeing. They would just have to check out the generator first.

wow threads all over

By now, the group is approaching the appropriate warehouse - a sign directs them down an alley towards an unlocked back door.

OH LOOK Exciting action!

[driftlock]

Deadlock squints at the sign, taking a moment to shape out the letters. He's not a great reader, okay? "It's a trap," he decides, finally. Of course.

He scowls, but, well, what else was he going to do with this group of smaller types? "I'll go first."

[ichoosefight]

Steph wanted to make a snide remark in that regard, something along the lines of it probably wasn't a trap, but if it was sending someone in blind was probably the dumbest thing they could do.

But, well, she was playing the stupid civilian. And he was a giant robot. If anybody could make it through there unharmed in an ambush it was probably him.

"So what, if you don't come back we all just go home?" Not a chance in hell, but she made it sound so appealing.

[driftlock]

Ah, but Deadlock would argue that it's dumb and therefore a smart enemy wouldn't expect it and therefore, it has the element of surprise.

"Yeah, something like that. Go back and tell everyone it's a fraggin' fraud."

His mouth twitches. "Except Wing."

[ichoosefight]

Funnily enough, it's the kind of plan Steph used to come up with all the time.

It's also the sort of plan that got her 'killed' in the line of duty once already.

She took a step back, but peered into the shadows and up on the roof, looking for signs of movement.

"So we have to tell Wing to go home, then we tell everyone it's a fraud? Just so I'm clear on your last will and testament here."

[interconnect]

Sissel, having been merely content to sit and listen up to this point, shook his head and stepped up by Deadlock. All four feet, eight inches of cat-boy that he currently was. He knew it wasn't very impressive, but he also knew that he was literally impervious to damage and death. There was no reason to send anyone else into danger.

"Hey, wait a minute. If it's a trap, I should go. We wouldn't want anyone getting hurt, would we?" For looking about twelve years old, Sissel certainly did sound very confident and adult there.

yay the more the merrier!

[driftlock]

"Hnh." Stop calling him on these moral conundrums, Stephanie. It only confuses him. "Tell Wing, I don't know, something. Then make sure he doesn't do something stupid." Yeah, good luck with that.

If Deadlock had manners, maybe he would have tried to stifle the snort of scorn as the little weirdo 'volunteers'. "You fraggin' kidding me?"

[drank_the_milk]

"But depending on how much power they have themselves, it might not even matter."

Yuna's certainly experienced that before.

[ichoosefight]

That made no sense to Steph at all, but luckily they were reaching the appointed place. She pointed towards the alley.

"Well we'll find out before long. Unless you'd rather quit now?"

[drank_the_milk]

"No way!"

It's confident grins all around over here. Or at least defiant ones.
