Video; Immediately following the arrival of spirits creatures

[rulerofme]

[Video]

[David starts up the video feed. He certainly prepared for this eventuality.]

We have encountered these creatures before a few years back. I created shelters in each city for people to retreat to in the eventuality of another situation like this. There is both magical and technological shielding to help keep the creatures out. The magical shielding was applied by various magic users in their own styles, including former Everglade Guardian Fai. The Genessia City police force is being dispatched to help stem the creatures from getting into the Archways as well as helping Genessia City citizens get to shelters.

[He puts in their location in each city here.]

There is food and supplies and space to house the entire populace of each city.

[The shelters are really that big.]

I would like for anyone that is able to help get people to the shelters if they wish to go as well as stand guard near them to help protect anyone coming in. Fellow Guardians, if you can spare yourself or your people to help with that effort, I would be grateful. Doctors, EMT as well as others that can offer medical help should be going to the shelters as well.


I will be moving through each city and broadcasting this message out with my telepathy to let people know about them, so don't be alarmed if you hear my voice in your head.

[That said, on to information about the creatures.]

Don’t let the creatures touch you, as they drain emotions from you when doing so. It can cause you to turn on your closest friends. These creatures can be dispersed by strong normal means, but they will only return. After their first attack, I had weapons created to help deal with this. If they are dispersed by one of these weapons, they won't return. The ones with the..flowery thing in them are new. So be extra cautious of them.

These weapons have their own drawbacks, however. Creatures from the last time that they were here have been sealed inside of them to give them the ability to banish the creatures for good. We were able to seal some of the creatures inside of sealing stones last time, but getting over run by them is way too easy. I took the creatures sealed in those stones and had them transferred to the weapons.

The weapons, when removed from their sheathes and wielded, have the same affect that the creatures have if they touch you, however it is at a much slower rate. The weapons can be effectively used in combat without much detriment. Though I do advise to only use then for finishing blows.

They have been routinely maintained and stores, so there is no worry about their state. If you want to use one, respond here or contact me directly. These weapons are only being loaned out and will be collected once this is all over. I think it's a good idea not to have these things freely floating around.

I will be going to the Cloister of Trails to see if this can be fixed. The last time there was a breach like this, a handful of people gave up things precious to them to fix it. I doubt it's going to be so easy this time around, because this breach is far worse than that one.


[Karla]

I left a Katana for you in my office. I'd like you to help people looking for shelter to get to the safe house.




[Liv]

I left you a dagger at home. Try not to have a repeat of last time.


[Telepathy; All Cities]

Don’t freak out, you aren’t crazy, you are just hearing my voice. This is David Haller, Guardian of Genessia City. I am projecting my thoughts into your mind. I’m also not reading your mind either, I am just relaying information.

There at shelters for people to take refuge in from these creatures.

[He gives the location for whichever city he is sending this message to at the moment.]

The shelters have been designed to protect against these creatures. It's fully stocked with rations and beds to help wait out this crisis, should you want to go.

Then I shall guide the people of Fayren to the base. Though you don't state where exactly the entrance to it is.

If you don't want to say publicly, then using telepathy will be okay.

video;

[rulerofme]

The entrance is at the location that I listed above. There will also be people there to show the way.

I'm leaving you in charge of the place. You may want to get the City Guard to help out getting people there as well.

[forgottheoffbutton]

[What a fast response time here in the city. Very fast. The heroes know what their doing, that's for sure. Makes Flug wonder how the villains attempt to cope. Probably by not being detected or caught. Well, time to do some research of his own.] T-Thank you for the information. I-I would like a weapon please. For self-defense p-purposes. [Outer gods he's nervous. Monsters invading and it's only his first week in the city. Things sure don't stay boring here in Genessia.]

[rulerofme]

[It's important to react fast in a situation like this, otherwise it will get way out of hand.]

What sort of weapon do you need? They are all melee but there are a few crossbows.

[Video]

[swordprincess]

[When Karla turns on the feed, she's panting as she's doing the mad dash to the office to pick up said katana.]

All right...I'm on it...this is bad...

[He could probably tell that she's trying hard not to panic. Don't panic. Stay calm. She needs to stay focused on helping people get to the safe house...]

[Video]

[rulerofme]

It is. You can immediately tell that it is worse than before. [He hopes things don't get even worse like they did last time around.]

Video

[blindpuppet]

[Enis doesn't consider herself as someone that has emotions, so the decision is an easy one.]

I'll take a weapon. I don't need to feel to fight and I'll return it when this is all done.

[She just needs to know where she's going. Given David's celebrity status in the city she knows of him. Enis has made a point to know all the guardian's but she doesn't know where he'd keep such a weapon.]

Video

[rulerofme]

[Emotions or not, when those things drain what you have you become a danger to everyone else.]

What type of weapon do you need? They are all melee weapons, though there are a few crossbows.

[Video]

[gearswar]

[Marcus here]

I'll hold off as much as I can, but not sure how much my chainsaw gun will do.

[Video]

[rulerofme]

As I said, I have weapons that can be loaned out that can deal with them. If you can handle melee weapons, you can use one. The chainsaw gun can beat them back but won't defeat them.

[livable]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[ Liv is still in her dress for the awards, but it's obvious she's since booked it from the area. There were too many people in one place, too likely to have an accident. ]

That'll be stop two. I'm going to stop by the morgue to see if I can't find anyone a little more.. self-defense oriented than "gym goer who dropped a barbel on himself." Maybe there'll be a dagger..ist.

private; video

[rulerofme]

Yeah. Maybe avoid that..sort of brain. If you find one that can use a different type of melee weapon than a dagger, let me know. I just figure a dagger is a type of weapon anyone can use.

[voice]

[chicken_kun]

That's all they do, drain emotions? They don't kill ya or nothin'? [that doesn't sound terrible at all, considering right now he's got too many emotions to deal with]

Might as well stay in my own place where it's comfy and put up a barrier.

[voice]

[rulerofme]

They can kill you. They have knocked people onto objects before and impaled them. And when they take your emotions, you attack and can kill others.

If it will keep them out, then go for it.

[Telepathy]

[zenoh]

Guardian Haller, my name is Ayame Sasaki. I am temporarily working alongside Attleton's Guardian team. If you are in need of repairs for the city after this, I am offering my aid.

[ Her reply to his telepathic message is clear and natural. Ayame has telepathic powers of her own, so this isn't new to her. With the invasion giving free rein to some of the more bloodthirsty Genessians, and while the city does have a way of fixing things, Ayame feels she could at least offer what she can to repair any property damages. ]

[Telepathy]

[rulerofme]

[Well, he didn't expect to get a telepathic message back when he beamed one out. But he always new he couldn't be the only telepath around these parts. That is pretty nice to know, honestly..]

What can you do to aid in that?

[lunarlegionnaire]

[It's Moon Knight, all streaked in grime and the occasional spot of blood. A young father and his two kids run past him, safely escorted into a Genessia City shelter and shouting their thanks. He sheathes an Egyptian khopesh as he speaks.]

Could use one of those weapons, neighbor. Be a bit easier to get these civvies to safety if our visitors can't come back.

Video | Private

[rulerofme]

I thought you mind. What's your preference? I just stuck to having the more common melee weapons made. [So he doesn't have an Egyptian khopesh. He does have a basic sickle, though. And long swords, short swords, daggers. Stuff like that.]

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

[Not having much time, or hands, for video, Grell opts for voice in the midst of cutting down the spirits. After a few seconds of hearing sounds of a fight from her, she speaks.]

I could definitely use that sort of weapon right now! Little blighters!

[Souls of the dead are so much easier to deal with.]

[Voice]

[rulerofme]

[Well it seems like all the Guardians are having to deal with these things. It's definitely far worse than it was last time.]

What sort of weapon do you use? [He needs to know that before he can bring her anything.]

[borntolove]

How were those people that were infected last time saved?

[rulerofme]

You take a person and dunk them in the waters of the Bay. It is taxing on both people, but it will fix anything that has suffered through the creatures. Strong emotional connections work too. [He imagines the 2nd option won't work for this guy since he just arrived and all.]

[Telepathy]

[space_jesus]

[It isn't often that a telepath has a strong enough gift to get through chaos' shielding - even less so when he's actively focused on something. So he actually takes the time to respond to this one, despite being in something of a hurry.]

I'm trying to launch a probe out through the breach, to get some readings on the world outside the shields. I can defend myself, but help would most definitely not be turned away if you can find someone willing to aid me.

[Telepathy]

[rulerofme]

[This would make the second Telepath that has responded back to David. He really had no idea there were even that many in Genessia.]

Where are you launching it from?

video

[captain_by_the_book]

What do I have to do to get one of these weapons and where do I have to go to get one? I'm currently still in Genessia City, I was at the awards ceremony when the attack started. But my priority will be to defend Attleton, so if you want them used for Genessia, give it to someone else.

video

[rulerofme]

There has never been such use on the stipulation for using one. As long as you are using it to defend against the spirits, I don't care where you use it. What type of weapon do you use? Bare in mind they are all melee weapons with the exception of 3 crossbows.

video;

[truesmiles]

Do you want me to check the barriers? Mostly because it's been a while since I last checked.

[He's got nothing better to do during this whole situation. Plus it seemed like barriers are his thing.]

Also would be okay to ask if you have any weapons left?

video;

[rulerofme]

Yeah, if you have the time to do it. I think they should be fine, but better safe than sorry.

What kind do you need?

[youfool]

[He's torn between the ethical quandary in imprisoning spirits, however foul, and beating them back. In a way he's almost peeved he didn't have one of these weapons 24/7; he's part of Gestalt, man. He thought that meant something.]

A longsword will do, please.

text

[rulerofme]

[He's not happy about imprisoning the spirits either. But until they can find a permanent solution, this is the way it has to be done.]

Alright. Where are you now?

Video

[filchedfruit]

I remember you mentioning having some arrows made for this last time.

Can I use those?
I can help people get to the shelters.

Video

[rulerofme]

Yes, I've placed them to the side just in case you showed up needing them. Remember, you must collect them after use. They are all made of a lightweight metal.

Where should I bring them?

Video /late to the party with a starbucks

[pretty_handy]

Fancy ability you've got here, my friend. [The woman in the videoscreen is frowning slightly even if it only last a second. She understand that the situation is desperate enough to require a quick way to communicate with the whole city but she doesn't enjoy hearing voices inside her mind besides of her own thoughts.]

I can help people get to the shelters, I'm not stranger to either spirits or fights. If you still have some weapons to spare, I'd like to borrow one. So far I've only managed to get the spirits to run away, not to finish any of them.

Video better be some good starbucks coffee

[rulerofme]

[He prefers not to intrude on peoples thoughts, but in cases of emergency, he has no problem at all projecting his own to spread word of a situation ASAP. He doesn't look bothered in the slightest by the extra sets of arms.]

Using more than one at once will make the drain happen that much faster. Are you really look to use more than one?
