Five knitted... bio-hazard suits?

Action, around Mayfield. Open to anybody.

[Well, dammit Mayfield.

Rose really didn't have much in the way of a plan about what to do for Thanksgiving, but her options are sorely diminished now aren't they? All that is left to do is wander around the wreckage and try to find familiar faces. She trusts her mother and John's father will take care of themselves; up to the point they had to fight Noir they were holding up pretty well on their own, not to mention it would look pretty bad if she tries to take care of them anyway. What she wants to do is find her friends...and her supposed girlfriend too. Specially her. The lack of phone lines is really irritating, and the added disappearance of her wands isn't making things any easier.

So if she could run into somebody, anybody, she would feel a thousand times better. Not that it shows how bad she feels, nope.]

[ Jade is on her own for the moment, for as much as she knows she's supposed to stay with a group, with anyone, she has to make sure her friends are alright. When she spots Rose she looks incredibly relieved. ]

Rose!

[grimmdark]

Jade!

[Relief sinks in a bit as she gets closer.]

I know you may be as clueless as me, but what is the meaning of this? Out of everything that has happened here, Mayfield suddenly exploding would have been at least slightly more advertised.

[echidna]

[ Throwing herself into a hug, hope you are ready for it! ]

I don't know! I've never seen anything like this happen before, and I've been here for months.

[grimmdark]

[She was expecting that hug so it's alright.]

That's unsettling. My wands are nowhere to be found, so I suppose other weapons are gone, too?

CAAWWW

CA-CAWWWWWWWWWW


[Okay the "crows circling a site of desolation and destruction" ominous atmosphere thing is kind of depreciated by this one being bright fucking orange, but whatever.]

[grimmdark]

Davesprite.

...this is hardly the time for irony.

[nolongeralpha.livejournal.com]

[Swooping down to land on your shoulder DEAL WITH IT]

Hey, come on, do you really have to add "sprite" when there's no other Daves around?

And don't look so depressed. We all woke up in perfect shape despite everything else being dead around us. None of this is as bad as it seems.



Probably.

[grimmdark]

[Yeah whatever no fucks were given.]

Force of habit. It does suit you though.

I don't think people will stay out of harm's way though.

Your optimism is a tad worrying.

[windplay.livejournal.com]

Found you!

[ John runs up behind Rose and lightly taps her shoulder to indicate his presence. ]

I am glad you are okay. [ Wait. ] Have you seen my Dad anywhere? [ This is just like- ] I can't find him...

[ Last time. Isn't it. ]

[grimmdark]

John. I'm sure he is alright.

[A pause.]

He is definitely alright. Mom is with him, I bet. Let us trust them this time around.

[windplay.livejournal.com]

...Okay, I guess you're right.

I just want to find them as soon as possible, Rose. I mean, he - and your mom! - they just came back, and I don't want to lose track of him again.

Any idea where they might be?

[grimmdark]

I know I am. They walked around the Battlefield unharmed until Noir. They are tougher than we think.

But...I know. We must find them. I'm afraid I have no clues though.

[byakkoyagirl]

[And, in the distance, Rose should see a certain human First Guardian wandering around and inspecting debris around his path. Hey, you did say 'anybody' Rose. Good news is that he doesn't seem to take notice of her. Not yet at least...]

action;

[grimmdark]

[Of course, he was supposed to be alive. It wasn't as if the town would give her that small benefit anyway.

Sighing, Rose makes no effort to conceal herself, but at the same time makes little in the way of making herself more visible. Maybe he will just walk by...]

action;

[byakkoyagirl]

[He is going to live forever until he dies. Which doesn't even matter because he is already dead.

Unfortunately, any survivors stick out like sore thumbs in this wasteland, and Scratch will catch sight of her in the periphery of his vision. He won't turn to her, still more interested in the debris than her, but will call out.]

Fairing well, Seer?

action;

[grimmdark]

[Well there goes no being seen.]

I've seen better days, how about you?

[chastesaw]

Rose?

Rose! *Kanaya sounds very relieved as she runs up to her... she's-not-quite-sure-what-she-is, but let's still say "very close friend" for the moment. Whatever Rose is, she's glad she's all right.* Are you harmed?

[grimmdark]

[There is a Seer in your arms. It's a very happy, very worried Seer. Or at least for the first five seconds until she can regain some composure.]

Yes, I am well so far. And you? Apparently the damage reached only the structures and drones, which is particularly strange. But appreciated nonetheless.

[chastesaw]

*Wow, okay, this is a hug. No, this is an embrace - a relieved, affectionate embrace, and Kanaya's not sure how to feel about that. Other than happy.* Yes, I too appreciate not being reduced to ash.

Logically then, I have to assume this is some trick of the town and not an oddly discriminating weapon of mass destruction.

[ Being next door neighbors, Dia recognizes her face from seeing her time to time - he doesn't know her personally, but there's nothing like a disaster to bring people together. ]

Um... you live on Miller Street too, right - ? Are you doing alright?

[grimmdark]

[Oh hey, it's you. The guy...that guy.]

Indeed I do. Or did. I'm as fine as I can be. What about you? I'm Rose by the way.

[pokeay.livejournal.com]

I'm doing alright... it's good to see others are managing decently as well. [ ... ] Oh, right - I'm Dia! And, um... I used to live across the street from you.

[ though obviously, the house has seen better days. ]

[ dave seems more or less as nonchalant as ever, just walking around trying to see what's going on. there's a certain sense of fatalism to him as he seems fairly resigned to... well... whatever happens. but at the sight of rose, he perks up slightly. not really noticeably to must, but who knows it's something. ]

Yo. Guess you're still in one piece.

[grimmdark]

[That's so very Dave of you, Dave.]

The same goes for you. Which doesn't mean it will stay that way, but for now it's good enough. Found anything of interest so far?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

We got the bomb dropped on us or something and there are bands of crazy road warrior rejects roaming around trying to kill and use us as hats. Nope nothing interesting whatsoever, pretty boring to be honest.
