Good Spirits

[What is the best reaction to the moon sinking lower and lower?

A glass of whiskey.

Or so, apparently, is the philosophy of one Stephen Maturin. His Journal is near him, but his journal is in front of him. His curious system-- a mix of several languages further coded-- is out in full force as he writes the notes he's made about the whole situation.

Useless, perhaps, but it makes him feel better to analyse everything from a scientific perspective. Not that there's much science to all this.

Finally, the man sighs, abandoning his work to take another drink of his whiskey.]

[ buffy...hadn't planned to come into work today. even this? this isn't work. she blusters her way into the bar with a mission on her mind and vaults over the counter with an incredible display of grace. soon, she is crouched behind. looking for something.

she hasn't yet noticed stephen's presence. ]

[halftheduet]

[A tremor of the ground, and Stephen looked up. Both from it and from the sound of someone else present. Not Jack, not yet. Though he expected the man at any moment.

But.

He said nothing, never rising, but eyes watching the bar at the point where she'd crouched down.]

[slaying]

[ when she rises, she has three large plastic jugs balanced between her hands. these she sets on the counter before...ah -- catching stephen's eyes.

a nod. and then a little, cocky salute. ]

Running around, CH3. eeep

[As the moon gets closer and closer, Nagisa really starts to panic. That thing's coming straight for them, and there's nothing they can do about it aside from freaking out. Hearing of some people who fled into the tunnels, she begins to wish that she had done the same. It's really too late to try doing that though. So instead... yeah, panicking.

After running around, crying and trying to figure out what she could possibly do and where she could hide, she finally gives up and just goes back to Community Building 3 to find somewhere to stay in there. Eventually, she'll just return to her apartment there. Looks like we're just all going to die huh.]

[She nearly jumps when Minato touches her shoulder, startled. Could've been like... the moon poking her or something. Who knows. Once she realizes who it is though, she lets out a sigh--a rather shaky one, really, due to her constant sniffling.]

M-Minato...? [That's... pretty much all she can manage to say right now.]

Anywhere outside

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain is putting up a last minute fight despite how worn out he is from the week's events. He tries unsuccessfully a few times to jump to that moon, but something usually goes wrong- his power fails or the ground shakes and ruins his attempt to jump. When he does finally jump and make a stab at it... it's no use. He keeps trying anyway, until he's too exhausted to move.]

[...and all of this on his amusingly appropriate mun-chosen birthday. Figures that has to be the day everyone meets their end.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia finds him after helping send more supplies to the tunnels. She watches but doesn't stop him, figuring that he needs the outlet. For her part, she sways and plops down on the ground, as the world around her won't stop spinning.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain keeps going, repeatedly stabbing until he's pretty well exhausted himself. He eventually joins Rydia with a heavy sigh. No use. It's futile to fight this.]

[mistlegacy]

[Rydia scoots over and leans in against him.]

I tried, too, when I had full power earlier. Nothing happened, but it was a good outlet while it lasted.

Giant!Mac; close to midnight

[pugilistinpink]

[Staring into the eyes of the moon that had passed through the barrier - red, like glowing coals - is almost enough to turn his spine to water. That unblinking, soulless stare rattles him to his core, his knees suddenly feeling weak and wobbly like jelly again- - no. He can't let himself reel or tip over. Not when he's thirty feet tall, with living, breathing people scampering around near his feet. His mouth's gone bone-dry, the muscles in his throat clicking at his attempt to swallow.

Not enough saliva.

As a sinking sense of hopelessness sits in the pit of his stomach like a block of lead, he finds himself blinking sharply to will away the sudden prickling sting of his eyes. Desperately, angrily, he sets his jaw, his fists clenching and unclenching.

He wasn't going to be that little red-eyed kid again, hurrying stumblingly from the schoolyard with his shirt askew and blood dripping down his nose, laughter chasing him all the way home. Running running running, always running.

I ain't a coward

Roof of CH2

[cakeblocked]

[His master had told him not to. Luke was told that his power was not strong enough to destroy the moon.

But everyone else was helping. A lot of people were using their own power to try to slow or stop the moon, and he'd be damned if he won't help.

He stares up for a while, a worried frown etched on his face. He won't deny that he's scared: the moon was impossibly close now, and that face was staring down at all of them... That awful face that seemed more like a cringe than anything. The ground shakes beneath him, and it's as he nearly loses his balance that he realizes he should start now.

If he can't destroy it, then maybe he can move it, or at least make it slow to a stop while everyone else beats it back. After all, he was able to do so with the crust of his own world

[offallingsnow]

[Oh...not everyone.

Nephry might have passed right by building two if she hadn't felt like it would be a good idea to look up at it. It, and the moon's leering face. She shudders, shaking her head and catching moving light out of the corner of her eye.

Someone was up there. She squints, trying to make out the figure...and it might just be someone she recognizes.

It takes her only a minute or two to run into the building and up to the roof. She's out of breath when she makes it that far, but there's no time for that, is there? Especially once she confirms the identity of that source of light.]

Luke!

[cakeblocked]

[Luke hears the voice, though he doesn't turn his head towards it. Hyperresonance takes up a lot of concentration, and right now even the slightest waver could make everything he worked for fall apart, or prove disastrous. Back on his world when he did this, he was able to briefly look at Jade, but only because he had Asch helping him. He couldn't do any more than that.

He forces his eyes open and looks up again, stretching his fingers slightly in an effort to stop their shaking.]

Nephry, get out of here!

[offallingsnow]

Not if you're going to exhaust yourself for something you can't stop!

[If she didn't know about what could happen to him, she might not be so desperate to stop him now.]
