lostcarnival | ⇨ INVASION!

Who: Everyone! But especially HARBINGERS!
When: S2:D16-22
Where: All over Wismuth!
What: As the Harbingers reveal themselves, those among the carnival that Creation has chosen will start to discover new powers within themselves. It's because they're magical girls, yo.
Warnings: Harbingers being assholes.

HARBINGERS OF VOID↴

On Day 16, the Harbingers begin revealing their new selves... in the form of wreaking havoc on the city! CY-Ren isn't looking for mass panic or serious structural damage - instead she wants constant annoyances and distractions, of the sort that will keep those that might be on her tail distracted from her true plans. However, when Creation is faced with the threat of twelve new Harbingers, it will have to fight in kind...

► HARBINGERS: Your job is to use your powers to create messes for other people to clean up! CY-Ren gives no specific instructions outside of a general framework... flex your powers! See what you can do. Don't destroy the city or anything, but give Creation a run for its money. She needs these civilians alive for her later plans.

► STAR GUARDIANS: Twelve members of the carnival have been chosen by Creation to fight in its name, even if they don't realize it yet. When confronted by the Harbinger's chaos, their Sparks will make themselves known in whatever form is appropriate to the character - and they will be asked if they are willing to use the power of their soul to fight the darkness. How this scene plays out can be flexible, but essentially they will find themselves faced with the question: are they willing to fight for the preservation of life? If they say yes, their Spark will emerge, and they will be able to trigger a magical girl transformation, as you do.

► CHARITY CONCERT: While everyone else is busy with the sudden rise of the Harbingers, CY-Ren's PR team is releasing a statement -- they will say that new information has revealed that there had been bomb threats made against the canceled concert, which are now being blamed for the damages. CY-Ren will make a personal statement, saying that in order to apologize for the failure of her previous performances, a new free to attend event is being planned for the near future - people who had tickets to the previous event and had to go home early get top priority!

Oh, okay, cool, now there's a T-Rex rampaging through town. This is fine. She can handle this. Maybe?

Alphys flies on her staff to try and get closer to the beast. It must be some kind of summon cast by one of these harbingers! She has to stop it before it hurts someone!

"All right, you brute!" She calls to the dinosaur, leaping off her staff and taking it in her hands. "Your rampage ends now! MEW MEW KISSY SHINING... HALATION!"

The heart on the end of her staff glows a bright pink and shoots a heart-shaped beam of light directly at Taako's eye.

Holy shit. Really? Were Taako not so occupied with holding his form as Dupree right now, he'd laugh his ass off at her, but as it is, he tries to move away before the beam can connect, swinging his head aside. Unfortunately for him, t-rexes aren't nature's most agile creatures, and any of his grace in his elf shape is lost now; though it misses his eye, the beam does connect with the side of his head, and while his scales do deflect at least most of the damage, it still fucking stings.

With a roar, that huge head is swung back around towards Alphys, and he charges towards her, momentarily distracted from his people-herding (and not terribly smart while in this shape.)

Uhh excuse you her attack names are AWESOME? For a brief moment Alphys gloats at the sight of her attack landing, but it's quickly squashing when the T-Rex turns and charges her.

"Yikes! Bad dinosaur!" She yelps and tries to fly higher, but as she's still new to this, her staff sputters and she plummets, landing squarely on the giant snoot.

He remembers Alphys, of course, but he has no qualms about hurting the shit out of her if she's going to get in his way-- especially given he's got a bad case of lizard brain right now

No offense, Alphys.

The good news is that, given he's really stupid right now, he can't figure out what to do about her being there. He can't very well bite her with her on top of his snoot, and he can't reach her with his tiny t-rex arms to knock her off. He settles for swinging his huge head side-to-side to try and get Alphys to simply fall off and get back within biting range.

~~'Lizard brain'? Wow dat's racist~~

Alphys lets out a shriek as the dinosaur tries to shake her off. She tries to hang on the best she can, but she can feel herself slipping. In a last ditch effort, she starts banging on his nose with her staff. "S-s-s-stop iiiiit!"

Well, that just makes him mad. The banging isn't actually enough to really hurt him through his thick layer of scales, but it's annoying enough to draw a roar out of him, and he swings aside to slam his face-- Alphys-first-- into the nearest vertical surface.

Not as planned. Alphys has exactly half a second to realize how badly she messed up before she's pancaked between a rock and a hard place. She... probably blacks out for a moment or two.

Dupree does a pretty good job of staggering itself, as well, which might be the only reason Alphys isn't tossed in the air and bitten in half like a dog treat. He staggers, which is a pretty scary thing for a t-rex to do, and then shakes his head to try and throw Alphys off of him while she's out.

She slides off his snoot ungracefully and tumbles to the ground below. Her eyes flutter open in time to see the pavement rushing up to greet her.

"AAAUGH!" She yelps, her staff flying to her hand and stopping her fall just in time. "O-oh jeez that was close."

It seems you aren't free of the nuisance just yet.

Yeah, there's a huge foot coming towards her in an attempt to stomp her. Have fun dodging THAT.
