the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

[culver]

WHO: Nill, Snape, Andromeda & you!
WHERE: Nill's church.
WHEN: During the riots.
WARNINGS: TBA.
SUMMARY: The church becomes a safe-haven for those who need it.
FORMAT: Quick to start, but whatever after that!

[Explosions and people yelling were not things Nill deal with very well. She had been nearly paralyzed with fear by the time Snape and Andromeda had shown up at her church. Hiding beneath a pew, wings pressed close to her back. She had only poked her head into the aisle once she was sure that whoever had come to the church wasn't about to hurt her. She crawled out from beneath the wooden bench, smoothing her dress with trembling hands. Well, at least they wouldn't make anything else blow up. Hopefully.]

tending the wounded

[culver]

[Nill has gotten whatever blankets she can and has them laid out on the pews, trying to make everything comfortable for anyone who's been injured. Hopefully, a medic will be on the way to you soon.]

[paints_lanterns]

[Rapunzel comes hurrying into the church, her hair held in a giant pile in her arms with bits of flower and debris in it. Pascal is peeking out of the hair, his eyes wide.]

They tore out my braid!

[culver]

[Nill is on her way by the door when she sees Rapunzel on her way. She goes to meet her, concern etched all over her face. The other blonde looked to be a mess, and her hair... well, there was a lot more of it than Nill had ever imagined there could be.]

eating

[culver]

[Luckily, Nill has a supply of baked goods in the church, stashed away just in case she or Damian got hungry. Well, now she's passing them out to anybody who comes through the door. There's no need to wait out the riot on an empty stomach, after all.]

[FOOD! Sirius stops in the kitchen, in between one of his trips, and happily accepts a muffin. He takes a big bite, swallows and then kisses her forehead before turning back to his work.

All as silent as Nill is herself. Sirius seems to be in an odd mood today. He'll probably be by again, though - he was always hungry.]

[culver]

[Nill was more than happy to offer him food; she did notice the unusual quiet that surrounded him, and it worried her. Yes, outside was pretty bad, but it couldn't have been that horrible. Or... maybe it was. She brushed bang from her face as he turned away, wings fluttering behind her back as she quickly went after him.]

defenders, take your places

[culver]

[There's no guarantee that the church won't fall under attack by the angry mobs, so it would be best to have it defended. Anyone who's able should probably run a patrol outside, or figure out some other way to keep the place safe.]

Re: defenders, take your places

[needsthumpin.livejournal.com]

This, this is what Weavers are for. Kerai sidles and jogs her way to the door of the church. Once there, she awaits anyone coming to the place with anger or hate in their heart. Then, she'll deal with them.

Hopefully before they deal with her. She's trembling as she stands, but she's determined.

"Miss," Snape says, bringing over cups of coffee as they're being made. Defendesr need to be alert and awake, and...there might be something 'extra' in those cups, too. "I -- can't say I've recalled seeing you here before now."

Or even on the network.

[After apparating into the church and leaving the supplies he brought (some food, a few blankets and what little medical supplies he could scrounge together) there, Harry joins those defending the church outside.

He starts off by walking around the church, essentially patrolling and casting protective spells as he goes.]

[onewrongword]

[Snape is organizing their supplies, keeping an eye on Nill in the distance. When he hears the zip and zing of magic not his own, he looks up and -- is not really surprised to see Harry.]

You've made it, then.

[purmoncul.livejournal.com]

[Sirius comes and goes, roaring in on his motorbike, carrying wounded in and out in the sidecar.

[Sirius's usual manic swagger is strangely absent, however, as he lands near Harry. If anything, he seems to be in one of his moods, dark and withdrawn. The sight of Harry pulls his mouth up in a smile, though. He doesn't come over - doesn't want to interrupt, but he gives Harry a nod and a wink.]

[The riots had given some of the citizens who weren't too pleased with a giant, red, demonic thing walking the city streets an excuse to turn outright violent, but Hellboy had beaten them off as gently as possible. It wasn't like they could do much to hurt him anyway.

He'd eventually found his way to the church, and figured it needed a few more bodies to man the defenses. So there he was with his gun in hand, mostly firing off warning shots. But if the mod got too close to breaking through, well, he wouldn't shoot to kill--but he was a pretty bad shot.]

[onewrongword]

What the devil?

[Alright, that thing seems to be... on their side. Well, then. So be it.]

OPEN

[totallyrhombus.livejournal.com]

[Finn really has no idea whatsofreakingever what's going on, because what's news to a 13 year old boy, but he does know that one of Nill's favorite places is in need of his sword, so he's there, by gum.

He can be found totally on patrol, though maybe sometimes people will find him being distracted and poking at a bug with his sword or staring off into space.]

[culver]

[Once he's around the back of the church, where there aren't many people, Nill sneaks out of the church with a basket of muffins in her hands. She spots Finn and cautiously approaches, keeping her eyes peeled for any sign of rioting people.]

resting

[culver]

[Maybe you just need a minute to catch your breath before going out on crowd-control again. Take a seat, enjoy the stained-glass, maybe take a nap. Whatever works.]

resting

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

[Lyra just needs to catch her breath. She wound up tossing a few rioters out of the way as she approached the church, and only wound up dropping the illusion of invisibility once she'd shut the door behind her.]

[onewrongword]

[Snape is soon looming over her.]

I didn't catch your name in our brief conversation, Miss.

[The voice on the line did mention invisibility powers, after all.]

Magical Medivac

[onewrongword]

[Very wounded? In real, urgent need? Snape's got a Apparation with your name on it, care of Dr. Mordin Solus.]

Mediwizard-ing

[andromynous]

[Andromeda is in the church, wand at the ready for anyone who might come stumbling in with or without the assistance of those already inside the church. She's sure it's going to be a long night, but if she's truthful -- well, she's just glad to be doing something good to keep her mind off of all the complications this place has brought to her.]

[She's here for healing spells or healing words, whichever is more needed at the moment. Currently, she's sitting on the edge of one of the blanketed pews, catching her breath. That doesn't mean she's on a break, though!]

Knocked Silly

[femininehermes.livejournal.com]

[While Hermione had become used to such chaos, she wasn't immune to the nasty side-effects of catching the wrong end of an explosion. Said explosion had lifted her off the ground and knocked the air clean out of her lungs. It was a miracle that she had arrived at the church in one piece.

Struggling through the doors, clutching an arm to her chest, she fell to her knees and fumbled for her wand. If only she could find it! Healing broken bones wasn't that big of a deal. Yet, her vision was awfully fuzzy. Maybe she had hit her head harder than she thought...]

[culver]

[Nill saw the girl come through the door and was about to turn away when she saw her fall. Her basket of muffins was on the ground in a moment, and she was running as quickly as her impractical shoes would allow. She paused in front of the brunette, not sure what she could do; the other girl looked to be reaching for a branch that sort of looked like Severus'. But noticing the mob outside, Nill wasted no time in grabbing Hermione's arm and dragging her the rest of the way into the church before slamming the doors shut behind her. She then turned her full attention to the girl, wings flicking behind her back as she wondered what she could do, wishing she could actually ask.]

TRAVELLING TO AND FROM THE CHURCH

[purmoncul.livejournal.com]

[Here's a sight the city hasn't seen in a while: Sirius Black on a motorbike. Miranda gleams black and sleek, the effect somewhat ruined by the antique sidecar attached, though like the bike itself, the sidecar is more than it appears. fully the size of a family sedan inside, it is perhaps the safest such mode of transport available to those who need the clinic just now.

Especially as Sirius doesn't seem to be his usual reckless self. Dressed in protective black riding leathers, the once-slashed motorcycle jacket that Remus mended for him around his shoulders and wearing a helmet, Sirius is even telling people to buckle up. It's almost like being in a car driven by an adult.]

[onewrongword]

[His turn to step outside and take a bit of watching as the day stretches into evening, and Snape starts picking his way around the church, watching and listening for Sirius' familiar motorbike hum.]

[Mostly because he wants to know if he needs to go inside, rather then meet up with Black.]
