⇨ 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!

He narrows his eyes, grin widening for just a moment at that little jab from Rin before it smooths into something more nonchalant again.

"Haha. Yeah, my family seems like a really nice bunch, huh? Passionate! Noble! A lot of love ta give! But ya know, they've never really made the effort ta understand me, or even just took a minute ta care about what I care about. Apparently it's easy ta love somebody and still do it without thinking of them at all."

Shrugs, like that's not a big deal.

"Unfortunate really. All that love 'n care ya feel for your brother doesn't mean much--actually it might be doing more harm than good, ya know? 'Cause all that tender patient love 'n care ya've got stored up hasn't helped ya see that he's desperate enough ta die for the truth about all the questions plaguing him at this point."

"He's already tried ta kill himself ah... at least three times?"

Rin is about to make another comeback, another jab against Shima and his shady manipulation, when he drops that bombshell.

He visibly pales, and it feels like all the air has been sucked out of the universe. For the first time, he feels the cold claws of the void wrapping around his heart, like ice in his stomach.

"... What? What... did you just say?"

Suicide? Three times...? Yukio had.... what had Yukio done...?

"Didn't ya ever wonder where he was disappearing to after cram school? Basically he was trying ta put himself in life-threatening situations ta wake up a dormant power... Tried ta drown himself with water elementals, I think he might've jumped off a building...

"Though actually the most recent time he just shot himself because it was all too much, I think, after he found out how much human experimentation the Order was doing, including involving Fujimoto Shiro-san. Luckily... or.. unluckily, he's got some Satan thing going on with his eye that stopped the more lethal attempts on himself from being successful.

"Seems rough that only Satan was actually keeping him from dying though."

Shima barely has time to finish before Rin cuts him off, his flames flaring to life, even without his sword drawn, behind the glamour.

"SHUT UP! Stop LYING! You... you're making it all up! I know you are! You're just trying to get under my skin because of what that stupid lady did to you! So SHUT UP!!"

He couldn't believe it. He wouldn't. It couldn't be true...!

Putting his hands up and taking.. several. steps back.

"No point in making up a lie when the truth's this ugly. You can risk thinking it's all a lie if ya wanna though, I can't stop ya!"

"I said SHUT! UP!!!"

Rin's anger and frustration and pure disbelief flare to life, flame bursting from his body from all angles. He grits his fangs and pulls his fire back in, but remains smoldering. He has his hand on the hilt of his sword... but does not draw.

"I'm not going to listen to you any more! That outfit... that aura... You're working for that lady who's trying to destroy the world...! Nothing you say is right! And I won't stand here and listen to it!"

For a moment it looks like he might draw Kurikara and subject Shima to the full force of his flames. However, he removes his hand from the hilt of his sword, and instead reaches into his pocket, pulling out a marble-sized red and white ball. He presses a button and the ball grows to the size of a baseball. The throws it down on the ground, and it opens with brilliant light.

Light that forms into a draconic shape. Rin jumps on Nosh's back as she takes to the air with a high-pitched, almost song-like roar.

They leave, but not before kicking up a ferocious wind and creating a massive amount of sand. With her wings, she sandblasts Shima, enough force in the gritty gusts to blow him back tens of feet.

Shima is just going to count it as a plus that he doesn't get slammed into a wall this time when he gets blasted back, only managing to stay on his feet after skidding down the street because of a bit of Harbringer resistance instead of getting thrown spinning into a planter or something.

Watches him go with a vague sort of Evil Void satisfaction, but also mildly concerned this'll be a problem later...

Oh, it'll be a problem, Shima. Harbinger powers are one thing, but so are searing desert sands and all-encompassing hellfire.

BUT RIGHT NOW... he needs to find his brother.
