i was on my way to work when i realized i'm wasted

WHO: A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE
WHERE: Here, there, everywhere.
WHEN: Anytime from 6:00 PM to the wee hours of the morning; feel free to tag in with a specific time in your subject header.
SUMMARY: Chronos and Vector are failures and half the City goes apeshit!

It's been a lovely, warm, sunny day in the City, winding into a nice warm afternoon that definitely doesn't feel like the first day of Fall. As the sun gets lower and lower in the sky, however, something goes wrong. It's a very discreet malfunction, and even people in the general area probably won't notice it; what they will notice, however, are the temporal shockwaves emanating from the malfunctioning device.

Not to mention the eventual effects of those shockwaves. Is that man standing in the middle of the crosswalk with a lampshade on his head? Where did he even find a lampshade?

[ALERT GASP. Zel raises his blade defensively and catches glimpse of dem asian legs leaping like the most deluded gazelle overhead; that's strangely indication enough for him to hustle backwards and...y'know. Barrel right into whatever blow she wanted to deal. HEALING SPELLS EXIST FOR A REASON, and at the moment, he's still under the influence that he's hideously still 1/3 granite.]

[So she basically just............ stomped on his face and shoulders as she goes tumbling down; she stops herself from totally eating pavement with a palm against the concrete, but at least she's temporarily off-balance. One leg totally shoots out, though, as she crouches down and kind of supports herself on the other one, to attempt KICKING THA HALE OUT OF HIM.]

Gyah--! [okay, first: OW??

second: wait, why ow? being made of rock meant that ow was limited to laserfire and...

okay, ow. science had to wait because getting kicked forward--again: ow--and he was in a bad spot.

one more kick and he's got a few steps distance to whirl around and fire a magic spell YEAH YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT WERE YOU. pressurized air shoots out like a big ol' invisible bullet as he says:] Bomb di Wind!

[NO SHE MOST CERTAINLY DID NOT and Shiva basically just gets comically blown back......... into the semioutdoorish fruit stand part of one of those grocery stores that are everywhere in NYC. However, because this is her, she thinks she is getting thrown back into a wall of fire and she gaspscreams accordingly.]

[oh shit.

Zel winces. it wasn't THAT bad, was it? crap. if he broke her spine or something his whole day was just going to go downhill even faster. one more thing.

he waves gawking bystanders away--] MOVE! [--and slowly advances, sword up because if she's playing possum he's not getting punk'd.]

elle i am so sorry

[As Shiva continues to try to control her screaming and fails completely, something else also goes out of control--her powers.

Her soundtrack powers.

Laboriously, she pulls herself back into a sick approximation of a fighting stance, just as the soft music that's already been playing amps up to eleven and the dulcet tones of YOUUHOOHOOHOHOOHOOOOOOO YA SEX IS ON FIYAAAAHHHHHHHH (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF0HhrwIwp0) start blasting down the street, so loud that even Shiva can hear it.]

What--

[To her credit, she looks exactly as confused as everyone else.]

WHY WOULD YOU EVER APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS...

[livesarock]

[if she's as bewildered about the kings of leon as he is and back on her feet, that...was pretty much evidence that she wasn't utterly beat up by a gust of air. which was...good? Zel wasn't so sure.

in any case, weirder things had happened downtown in all that time he'd been there (granted, 2020 things are a lot more angsty), so he only hesitates the moment she does, but not a second more.]

Freeze Arrow! [WOW I WONDER WHAT KIND OF MAGIC THIS IS.





no it's ice. he's aiming at her feet.]
