⇨ INVASION!

[ringleaders]

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!

"Uh--no." Definitely not like the Nightrunners or... even like this. Dueling isn't for hurting people, and he could never use solid vision for violence the way academia did. Not in his right mind, Anyway.

"Not really, but I don't want to fight with them anyway! Noa and CY-Ren weren't fighting like that, it was... it was different."

[dressedtothe]

Oh boy. And Creation picked Yuya to fight? That seems a bit unfair. Besides, he doesn't want Yuya getting hurt...

"What do you mean by different?" 9S' lasers spin in lazy circles around him. "I was there, but they broke the stage on us, sooo I didn't see a thing."

[hippocarnival]

He waves a hand vaguely in the air. "CY-Ren was playing her violin and Noa was dancing with a big hoop. They were fighting, but it wasn't exactly like a fight!" He doesn't really have a better way to describe it.

"I saw the stage start to break... is everyone okay?" He doesnt know who else 9S is referring to being with him, but he'd be concerned all the same.

[dressedtothe]

Even though Yuya's a human, the look 9S gives him is one where he clearly thinks Yuya's stupid, brows clearly furrowed in consternation. Yuya, what's that supposed to mean? Granted, 9S is having a hard time trying to imagine what fighting with a musical instrument and a hoop is supposed to look like, but still.

9S waves a hand dismissively. "Yeah, Rita and I are fine."

Amazingly. Thanks to some quick thinking on her part. Granted, the debris falling on him probably wouldn't have hurt him too badly, but Rita's a totally different matter.

"Anyway, if you don't want to fight, how are we supposed to get everyone back?" Can they just stab CY-Ren?

[hippocarnival]

Yuya would explain it better if he could. Instead, he just gives 9S a slightly frustrated look back.

"I don't know, but I don't think being violent is going to convince them the Void is wrong, either! There has to be something better than hurting each other."

Why is everyone's first solution stabbing.
