⇨ 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!

"Pff, they'll forget the specifics in less than a day like they forget about all the Creation Void battles. What they don't know won't hurt 'em. And if they did happen ta remember, they won't have that much longer ta worry about it anyway."

"Do ya even care that much about it?"

Appealing to Shima's morality doesn't seem to be working...

[reflash]

"We thought you liked girls." The hydra says, flicking its gold-tipped tongue in Shima's direction.

Yukio says nothing. It's better to not respond than to snap angry denial back at Shima, he's at least learned that much.

"There's only one girl for me now!" Gestures dramatically to a convenient CY-ren poster. "Kinda." He winks, behind his blindfold, but you can tell he's winking.

"C'mon Okumura-sensei, ya gonna let that noodle talk for ya? Why don't ya ditch it and relax a little? It must get tiring wrestling with the inevitable all the time!"

[reflash]

"Do you really believe that?" Yukio asks, one hand (unconsciously) going to his familiar, petting the creature protectively. "Do you really think that things that are difficult are worthless?"

Wrong tactic, Shima.

"Well, difficult is one thing. I wouldn't say that when I know ya masochistically pick the most difficult route every time ♥. That can be fun sometimes! But when the result's the same no matter what ya do, it's just a wasted effort, ain't it?"

[reflash]

"I would rather put in the effort than just give up." He doesn't know the poem, but Do not go gentle into that good night is the sort of thing that fits his life. "I know that's difficult for you to understand."
