[rekindlemods]

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.))

Comments

[cruxified]

Kratos sighs, waiting for the rest of the group to enter. "At least be cautious. We don't know what could happen."

Even though nothing has happened so far, he's still not going to back off his point.

Braska calmly walks into the room, outwardly cheerful, but his eyes are scanning the room with a mixture of curiousity and caution. Though there have yet to be any threats to the group's safety, some habits are hard to kill, and so, like Kratos, Braska remains on guard. With Wing and Kanonno occupied with the child, that means he should be alert and ready in case something happens.

There's no one in the room but them - it just seems to be a small entry hall. The door across from them is likely bit more secure than the one they just came through, with a security panel next to it, but it currently stands open, waiting for the group. Beyond it is a hallway and the faint sound of a man humming to himself.

[cruxified]

"Someone's here," Kratos warns as they cross the threshold, his hand moving to the hilt of his sword. Long before most normal people could detect the humming, he could hear it in the room beyond. And possibly breathing and heartbeat but he wasn't about to tell them that much.

That's just creepy.

Wing's been hanging back, waiting for everyone else to enter first, in case there's not much room for him. He's also keeping an eye on their rear guard just to be safe, though it's not out of any large amount of suspicion.

He starts at Kratos's comment though. "It's...occupied?"

The conversation he had with Irene comes back to him; she'd said all they needed to do was touch the generators.

It's then that it hits him. And he makes an awkward sound, slightly aghast.

Did they mean the generators were...people?

[beforetights]

Cu Chulainn, meanwhile, tries to imitate the man's humming.

"How'd he get here before us? Is he already hugging the generator?"

He pauses to look back at Wing.

"Do you think he's tired the same way we are? If he's alone in there, nobody's hugging him, right?"

[endsorrow]

Braska looks at Wing curiously as he steps further into the room. He sets the butt of his staff down on the floor with a soft clunk.

"Hello?" he calls, tone light, but he glances at Kratos, eyebrows raised. He is not one of Braska's guardians, so he isn't sure he'll be able to read his body language accordingly, so just in case, Braska makes sure that his free hand is visible in his long sleeve and flattens it, fingers splayed, in a hold gesture.

They don't know what's going to happen, whether or not the man will be hostile, but Braska does not want to immediately threaten the man. That wouldn't make for a good first impression.

Wing ducks through the doorway and into the room, moving to the side as his optics cycle to compensate for the darker interior. He looks briefly at the young blue-haired boy before returning his gaze to the room ahead. "That...could very well be."

"And perhaps..." Wing's browridge furrows under the white helm. He remains near the back of the group, not wanting to startle the man, but looks to Brasca near the front. "Is there anything else in the room? Machinery? Or is it just him?"

gack I'm so late...

[beforetights]

"I don't know. I don't know anything about the stuff in here."

Cu Chulainn stares up at the rest of the group, as it asking them to give him an answer.
