Like Bulls in a China Shop: Taurus Log

▼ The Darkening Days
 

Who: Everyone. This is a general catch-all Taurus Event log. If you would like to do your own separate logs either due to pacing or easier loading, by all means, please do so!
Where: The Entire City
Summary: The last days of the Taurus event as things start to sour dramatically. During the 13th hour, Mutation Skills are unlocked for certain people (see the info post here) and now people have a chance against the swarming mechanized bulls. Unfortunately, for some, this means the paranoia hit a new low....if you want, you can get together and join each other's posts to try to hold the city down and protect everyone!
Warnings: Strange Attitudes, NPCs, Attacking, Battles.
Note: Please mark your post with what date they are happening. We are allowing anywhere from the 23th to future-dating to the 26th itself. Go on and have fun!

▼ The nights grow weary and a pattern seems to be forming...(days until the 26th)
 
Most of the Taurus civilians had willingly put themselves in confinement. As their symptoms began to rise, at the very least, there was little chance for them to cause problems. It looked like, hopefully, that they could hold back a lot of the damage and deaths to the city.

How completely wrong they would end up being...

▼ The day of reckoning...(April 26th, before the 13th Hour)
 
In retrospect, they should have realized something was wrong. While the Scorpio civilians were screaming about doom much like it had been predicted, Aquarius and Leo were not.

More research was needed...but there was no time now.

Somehow, everyone that had gone to the holding facilities were being freed from their confinement areas. No one knew who or got in, or how they got out, but many guards were injured in the process-- or worse.

The city turned into an all too (unfortunately) familiar sight. The Taurus civilians were causing havoc in the city, joined by others that the city had not predicted. Observers and Researchers quickly realized that these were all the earth signs, and a signal was given out; but too little, too late.

The city needed to fight back, lest it lose even more of its members. The situation was dire, but they had the Visitors on their side.

...For better or for worse.

▼ The Hour at Hand...(April 26th, 13th Hour)
 
13th Hour.

By now, the city was in chaos. For those who had witnessed the Scorpio outbreak it was an unfortunate similarity they might want to forget, but for others, this horror was brand new.

Giant mechanical bulls patrolled the city and continued to swarm, the police force trying to contain them and help as many as they could.

As time went on, mechanical parts and rocks fell to the floor from the bulls. Once the 13th hour hit...the remaining ones mutated, standing on two legs. And that wouldn't even be the worst of it...

And yet even in this Hour, there is hope. Power surges in a select few, and with a new skill at their tips, the battle may be won yet. But remember your mission: you came to protect this city. That includes the people living here. With so much chaos, you'll also need to help them and reduce the number of deaths as much as possible...and try not too look too closely at a looming figure in the Taurus Ward...

[As he pushes away she lets out a small 'hmmm' in response, eyes flickering open as she gives him a sweet as sugar smile. But what he'll find instead of her normal blue eyes is a sickly bright shade of yellow, one that couldn't help but make her look sinister no matter how sweet she was trying to act. Her smile only grows wider as she grabs his neck as painfully as she can, attempting to force him down to his knees and onto the ground. Despite how horrifying she looks despite herself, there's something sincere about the tone of her voice as she speaks.]

It's alright, Daichi. I'll protect you from all the bulls. You won't have to worry at all...

[Those eyes-- no shit, of course something would've been up, why else would she be wearing sunglasses right now?!

Still, basic logic was... not something he was good at for one, and especially not at a moment like this. On occasion he was good at thinking on his feet, but-- certainly not right now.]


Wh-- [Any protest he could have made was immediately cut off by a grunt of pain.

That hurt.

He was certainly more-- durable than your average teenager, but there was something to be said for the power of pressure points, and it wasn't long before he'd fallen down to his knees, and then all the way down to the ground in a few seconds tops.]


Ow...

[It was, probably for the better that his brain was a bit too preoccupied to really process whatever she had said. Whether for better or worse, he was out like a light.]

Oh, goodie! That wasn't too messy, I hate messes.

[Kairi smiles brightly and crouches down, grabbing Daichi with careful hands and hoisting him onto her back with a small grunt. She stands back up carefully, as to not miscalculate and end up dropping him on his head, adjusting him a little until he's carefully piggybacked. Pulling her sunglasses back down over her eyes, she sets off back towards the castle, humming happily as she went. No one would likely give the situation a second look as she passed by; just a girl trying to save her possibly injured friend from the wrath of the bulls, just like every other panicked citizen in action at the moment.

Sadly, she was the bull he needed saving from at the moment.]
