⇨ 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!

That hesitation really tells Vicarian all he needs to know: it's a universal trait, and 9S has experienced it. The little 'human' nods sagely. This is completely what he expected.

"It's a little weird that a machine can give a speech, but you see? It happens everywhere." Machines, as far as he knows, are things like.. cars. And spaceships. How could they talk?

Well. Naaru could make anything probably, or a draenei. Presumably 9S had similar beings where he was from that could make simil-- human creators?

Human creators? 9S is given the eye again, this bit of information weighed very carefully. As far as he knew, 9S was some other form of humanoid, he just smelled a little unusual. "...Not everyone does, but the really worthwhile ones do," he says eventually, thoughtful. "If you're going to face a lot of people who make speeches, you're going to have to learn to make speeches back, it's just how it goes."

He really has no better explanation for it. It's just how things are done.

"...But you were made? You look normal! Well I mean aside from the evil shoes and the .. skirt." Even blindfolds weren't too strange.

Well, he wouldn't call his shoes evil, per se... no, scratch that. These shoes are totally evil! 9S gives a little grin of pride at passing for a human... though it's still a little weird to hear that from a human. And there's still a part of him that wonders if it's bad to be too much like a human in appearance. But, he supposes, he normally introduces himself as an android, so it's fine... right?

9S dips his head in a nod. "Yeah. I'm an android." He salutes, left hand over his chest. Some old habits are hard to shake. "I'm made of metal underneath this synthetic skin."

But more importantly...

"You sound like you've heard a lot of speeches. Could you teach me how to make one?" And not sound totally nutso in the process?
