OPEN LOG; EVERGLADE, GENESSIA - do not reply until you read the ooc post

The first sign that something was going on that day hadn't been at the crack. It hadn't even been in Genessia, as a matter of fact. The first sign had been a sound not unlike a window shuddering in a heavy storm. It perforated the atmosphere within Everglade first.

Only a few moments later, Fayren would hear the same shudder echo through its forests, forcing birds to flee the cover of the trees. In the populated areas of the kingdom itself, it would be much quieter, as if it were miles away.

Then it would return to Genessia. The crack in the sky was rapidly saturated, thousands more than before forcing their whole shapeless bodies against the barrier. Some of the strange aurora-tinted color seems to press into their ranks, a few of the strange creatures being forced back, but quickly being replaced by another of its kind.

And a sickening crack could be heard in all archways near and far, but it was loudest in Everglade, where a new crack had formed. Two humongous cracks appeared in Everglade's barrier like a sinister grin as if it were laughing at the town just above the clocktower. The two cracks took only a couple of seconds more before the strange monstrous creatures burst small holes into that crack, not big enough to fit their bodies through at once.

The leaked through, dripping like poison from an apple out of that sneering mouth in the sky until the first of these creatures fell to the ground. The eager, hungry soul from before, whose abyss of a stomach had been shared with the whole of Genessia when he'd opened his misshapen jaw the first time a few days ago now looked from side to side in the streets of Everglade.

The first face he saw was that of an NPC, and he only saw it for a moment before launching himself at the man and pinning him to the ground. Some would recognize him as the grizzled owner of The Rabbit's Foot. A loud scream was put out from the man as the creature opened its jaw wide, but did not eat him. Nothing seemed to happen when his jaw was opened, as a matter of fact.

The creature closed its mouth slowly before standing upright on what seemed to be a two-legged form, though if it had arms they didn't take shape. It made a gesture as if it were cracking its neck as the man escaped quickly, locking the door to his shop behind him.

More of the creatures were piling into Everglade slowly but surely, but this one in particular caught sight of a local werewolf, someone with a pendant, a soul, and repeated his mauling, but this time- this time something happened. This time a strange, glowing mist seemed to pull out of the Everglade resident's body, a faint glimmer of aurora with it, and in a short time this person stopped screaming. They were still alive, but it didn't seem like there was anything... inside, really.

A hissing, victorious laughter left the creature and he moved on, heading toward Genessia's gate along with his oversized mouth pulled up into an eerie grin that reflected the crack in the sky. Those that had made it in through Everglade's crack followed suit.

They had to let the rest of their friends in through Genessia; it was only the polite thing to do.

cleanlevis: (So you can't fly)

[personal profile] cleanlevis 2015-07-29 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea what you're on about.

[He'd rather follow on his own than be on any "passenger seats" of strangers driving. Unless it was riding a horse cart and that he didn't see here anywhere.]

Driving what, exactly?
notatriangle: (Well lookit that)

[personal profile] notatriangle 2015-08-01 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, the hovercar?

[Pascal taps the car with her shotstaff, giving Levi a look like he'd just grown a third eye.]

Come on, don't tell me you've never seen these. They're all over Nova City! And it's not like there's another way to get up to the barrier. Not unless you can use those to actually fly.

[Her eyes light up.]

Can you do that?
cleanlevis: (Now it's strange for me)

[personal profile] cleanlevis 2015-08-02 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that.

[He's never been in one because they look suspicious. He much prefers using a horse or the gear that was on him.]

As long as there's something the wires an attach themselves to, I can get as up as I want.
notatriangle: (Mischief incoming)

[personal profile] notatriangle 2015-08-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That'll work for a while but there aren't a whole lot of skyscrapers here and I'm pretty sure you can't hook yourself to the sky, so get in!

[She's actually going to try and grab his shoulders and walk him to the car now, because who needs personal space?]
cleanlevis: (I nearly do)

[personal profile] cleanlevis 2015-08-09 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh great. Levi doesn't like the thought of him and cars in the same place, but she does have a point. Might as well let her walk him there - even if he looks super grumpy as he does that.]
notatriangle: (Gleeful destruction)

[personal profile] notatriangle 2015-08-13 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can look as grumpy as he wants, as long as he cooperates. She doesn't have time to baby him, she's got science to do!!! Or something like that. As soon as she's sure he isn't going to try and escape, she hops in the driver's seat and pulls a pair of aviator goggles from the glovebox. She casts him a thoughtful glance as she revs the engine.]

I'd say buckle up but I guess that might keep you from using that whatsit gear and fighting off ghosts, so...

[She shrugs and puts on the goggles.]

Off we go! Wheeeeeeeee!

[That's as much warning as he'll get before the car jerks to a start and careens skyward at alarming speeds.]
cleanlevis: (Some thrive on hate)

[personal profile] cleanlevis 2015-09-04 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh dear lord. If he had known this would be the result of accepting this job, he might have not taken it.

It's not like Levi gets easily motion sick, but being in a flying car just isn't normal. Being in a car feels absurd by itself so this is just too much for him to comprehend.

Oh well. He needs to try and focus on defending the car from the spirits, so maybe it won't be that bad... while he's standing. Not the most safe idea ever, but at least he can use the car to save himself if he falls. That's what the gear is for.]
notatriangle: (Hmmmm...)

[personal profile] notatriangle 2015-09-07 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[For what it's worth, Pascal does make his job a little easier by weaving to avoid ghosts whenever possible. Despite her reckless manner she's got excellent control over the hovercar. Chalk it up to plenty of thrill rides zooming around Nova City.

She slows down as she pulls up to the crack in the barrier and hovers just out of reach, eyeing the spirit that's currently struggling through, whirling and shifting like the colors on a drop of oil.]


Ok, this is going to be the tough part. I want to get up real close, but I'm pretty sure that thing won't let me. Any ideas?
cleanlevis: (but I get up)

[personal profile] cleanlevis 2015-09-16 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Levi eyes the crack and the spirit in there. Well, this certainly was a problem. He looks at the car quietly before turning to look at Pascal.]

How well do you think this car will handle if I use it as a platform for my hooks? That way I can get close and defeat it.
notatriangle: (Hmmmm...)

[personal profile] notatriangle 2015-09-26 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno exactly... best case scenario I have to do some va-vroom to keep it steady, and worst case scenario the engine stalls and we fall out of the sky.

[She tilts her head and weighs the risks.]

But you can grab us on one of the buildings anyway if that happens, right? So I say we give it a shot.
