⇨ 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!

"Wonderful!" Nigella-as-daggers squeals. A familiar friend! She's pumped about this! "Oh we're going to have SO many conversations later~ I want to compare notes!"

Cole briefly looks sick, like the idea of comparing notes and Nigella gossipping about him makes him physically ill. Still, now isn't the time nor the place to talk about these things. He looks up a the strings, frowns slightly, then tosses his dagger at some of them. The dagger expertly slices through precisely two of the strings before stopping in mid-air and flying back to Cole's hand. He tosses the other dagger, which slices through two different strings.

The car creaks slightly: Cole's working on cutting through the load bearing strings. A few more tosses and the rest of the strings snap as the car starts to fall to the ground.

Francis's ears twitch at Nigella's suggestion, but his expression doesn't change much, and his feelings on having a gossip session with her remain unclear.

Rita, in the meantime, remains focused on the task at hand. She holds out her hands and conjures the prepared spell.

"Rise up! Starlight Breath!"

What was originally a wind-elemental attack spell is now a much gentler force, pushing upward from the open book. The car lurches downward and starts to descend, but it's cushioned by the wind pressing against it. The shimmering air carries the vehicle down, down to the pavement... but the balance is difficult to maintain, and it drops, just those last few inches, with a loud thud that makes Rita wince.

But ultimately, the damage is minimal, and the book glides back to its place beside Rita.

Cole also winces at the thud. Still, it was just a thud and it didn't sound like something had broken to the point of no return. The last dagger he threw flies back to his hands and Cole effortlessly catches it.

"That was good," he states, in a matter of fact tone of voice. "I like it when we help."

Of course, there's still a lot more strings that they'll need to cut if they want to fully help. People are still blocked in doors or in danger of tripping should they walk down the street. Cole frowns slightly, looking from the strings to Rita. "Can we cut multiple of them at once?"
