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)
How completely wrong they would end up being...
▼ The day of reckoning...(April 26th, before the 13th Hour)
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)
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...

[He keeps his tone light, even as the bulls continue to push to get close enough for an attack. In the time it takes him to pop out the used rounds and replace them, the crowd only grows. The look he gives them is one of puzzlement rather than fear.]
Hmm... At this rate, I'm probably in danger of dying, huh?
[As if. A hell of a lot of pain, probably. But fortunately(?) death doesn't like him so much here.]

[He would be happy to never experience that kind of strange, unnatural fear ever again.]
If I were in more of a panic, would you give me a hand?

Unfortunately, yes. You didn't happen to be affected by that too, did you? It wasn't a whole lot of fun.
[Understatement. Being compelled to act so differently had frankly been disturbing to him.]
no subject
I've been in my right mind. In fact, right now I'm feeling pretty good. [ A toothy grin. ] Poor baby, though. Tell me about it?
no subject
--Sorry, as much as I'd like to keep chatting with you, I don't think these guys are gonna let me.
no subject
[ Aaand at least half of them go flying backwards, crashing into the other half and then into walls and down alleyways. Telekinesis is totally a mind spell. Joshua scoffs, turning his attention back to this stranger. ]
Please, continue.

Aah, well, when you put it like that...

...It was like I couldn't control my own thoughts anymore. More than anything else, I was compelled to start screaming doomsday prophesies about the the bulls were going to come.
no subject
So you believed it. When did reality hit?

[He's been played plenty enough in the past to realize when he's still being toyed with by the fates.]
It isn't exactly easy to pinpoint who it is, or if it's even a being on a similar plane as us, but I always kind of assumed that would be the case the moment our mission became "to aid the city".
[Not that he... really did much to help on that front either, but well.]

Tell you what. Keep those guys off my back while I talk and I'll tell you all about it.

Is it really necessary this time? You seem to be doing fine by yourself. [ and joshua's too lazy to lift a finger to help. ]

Guess I have no choice now, do I?
...Basically, when we woke up there, we were trapped in a hospital-like place with barriers up to keep us from escaping. They didn't let us out until we'd eaten some nasty oatmeal and met with some of the... ah, residents.
But the curious thing is... the people there were a lot like us. Gathered up from different worlds, although it seems they were told it was because their own worlds had been destroyed.
