Event || Mysterious Fathoms Below

[eternitymods]

Who: All characters who signed up
When: June 23rd-25th
Where: Ka'Pandol, the underwater city
What: While the outworlders and their guides are touring the new arena at Ka'Pandol, the city begins to flood. It is up to them to activate the ancient drainage system beneath the city before the Blitzball Association is forced to cancel the upcoming tournament.



The Zora guide, Pharce, is leading the group from the Curti Center through the center of town, waxing poetical about the legend of the First Zora, when the sirens begin to wail. At first, the residents of Ka'Pandol wave it off as a drill, but the sirens do not stop, and as they walk, the visitor shoes are beginning to get soaked through with sea water that is slowly rising.

"Come along, quickly, all of you!" the guide calls, leading the group to the Bureau of Tourism near the city center. As they walk, the group will see the aquatic residents quickly deploying bubble helmets around their 'exotic' pets -dogs, cats, parrots, squirrels- heads, just in case City Management takes their time righting whatever issue the dome is having.

"Inside, please. Safety first is our motto, so let's get you outfitted," Pharce says, waiving them inside. Each person is given one of the patented Ka'Pandol Bubble Helm, which will allow them to breath comfortably for several hours. Those that cannot swim are issued an emergency life vest as well.

The water had reached knee-level now. An emergency evacuation message broadcasts from loudspeakers.

"Well, yes, you could...but where's the fun in that?"

Pharce waves at the Hypello gift shop owner, and the two bow their heads in discussion for a moment. When they part, Pharce pats the Hypello (whose nametag declares him 'Shtan') on the back.

"My good friend will lend us some of his wares, if you will join me in saving the city. We wouldn't want this little mishap to delay the big game, after all."

Those that agree to hold off on fleeing the city will be split into groups and given instructions on where to go in order to help the sinking city of Ka'Pandol.

Comments

you're not really excused

[likewishes]

[ Her words sort of leave him at a loss. She forgives him. She understands why everything happened the way it did. Maybe Euphy doesn't really comprehend Geass all that well, but the core at what happened?

Lelouch is going to argue with her over it. He intends to, actually. Because how could he be forgiven just like that? It doesn't matter what he had intended in this scenario. What matters is the fact that so many lost their lives because of his misstep. Someone dear to him had died because of it. How could she just forgive her murderer, just like that?

She also asks him to forgive himself. Something like that makes his throat tighten and whatever words he had been about to use just get caught there. Forgive himself... No, he doesn't think that he ever actual will. He's done too much to allow for that, hasn't he?

So, instead, he focuses on something else. "How things end" and "leaving this world." Does Euphy think they are really going to die here? Lelouch shakes his head. He isn't going to allow for that to happen. Not now and not like this. ]

We are going to survive.

[ Thinking about that, looking around and getting ideas, is something easier for his brain to work on instead of dealing with his own emotional turmoil. ]

[ Survive. In this? Her attention turns to the rising waters as a frown thins her lips. It's at least distracting from what she just said, even if she meant every word of it. She knew that if this was it, she wanted it to go out with no guilt. ]

Survive...

[ Maybe. But if not, she at least went out with someone. So ... could she take his hand? ]
