⇨ 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!

"Ugh fine. Follow me."

Jinx led them both over to a nearby park. It was pretty empty thanks to all the weird stuff happening around town.

"Cool, it's just the two of us. Alright, time to get you up in the air! Let's see..." There was a slide and a jungle gym that she could use.

"Alright, climb onto one of those and let's give this a shot."

[hurtcomfort]

Cole nods at Jinx, looking amazingly determined. He deftly climbs up the side of the jungle gym, ignoring Nigella's wary frown and occasional protests of "Are you sure about this?"

Because he is. Jinx can fly. So maybe he can fly. And if he can fly, he's got to learn how.

Eventually, Cole's on top of the jungle gym. He stands up, balancing himself remarkably well on one of the bars. He takes a deep breath, spreads his arms out, steps off the top rung...

...and falls right on his fuckin face, crashing to the ground hard. Nope, can't fly. Also he's bleeding at the moment.

Ouch. Jinx grimaces and flinches when she sees the landing. Normally she was the type to laugh at a stunt like that going wrong but... he fell pretty hard and it just did not look good.

She walks over to him, at least he's still moving.

That's a good sign, right.

"Okay, so that idea clearly didn't work."

[hurtcomfort]

"Obviously it didn't work! Why would it work in the first place?!" Nigella squeals, horrified. She's just floating around Cole's head in a very frantic manner, trying to see just how badly wounded he is.

Carefully, Cole gets back to his feet. His nose is smashed in. A little part of him knows that he'll be fine once he transforms back and lets the magic of creation go at healing his nose. But man. This hurts. This hurts a LOT.

"I don't want to practice flying anymore," Cole emphatically states.

[everybodypanic]

"Yeah, sure. That's okay." Totally okay, as enough damage has been done to his face already.

"You'll be fine, don't worry about it. Star Guardians are pretty tough! But man..." Jinx just gives him a pat on the back.

"That was a really nasty fall!"

At least she's not laughing. Yet.
