of those blackholes & revelations
WHO: All imPorts.
WHERE: Atropos.
WHEN: January 7th to January 14th.
WARNINGS: Death and destruction.
SUMMARY: Atropos has risen in the night, and the inevitable has come: with her jaws she shears away the City from Earth and swallows it whole.
But the City is not yet dead.
FORMAT: Whatever you please.
The formless mass of metal haunting above, hovering like a lunar tombstone, begins to take shape. Asteroids plummet into the cheeks, the eyes, carving out bone structure. Her features howl with fury, with triumph, as she stares down below, savoring her conquest. A cavity opens. Metal swoops to form jagged, angry shears. Her teeth are born.
She waits as the world rotates, its spin more wobbly than it used to be.
And then she leans down to feast, her bite vampiric. She takes the City and then some, and all that it encompasses, so that every single imPort is captured. She takes the time to drink in any stragglers, any imPorts elusive to the City's thrall.
She holds the City on her tongue as she draws back her fist to punch the world.
And then teeth close to the shuddering, glass shattering vibration of a cosmic laugh. The jaws close, and there is no light for about an hour -- until Atropos begins to siphon solar energy from the sun into her veins. She is dissatisfied with its dying tint, or perhaps she cannot stand the redness of color, so once she injects this energy into her her body (her most intimate domain), she turns it bright yellow again. The universe within her is illuminated.
The City is a floating chunk of broken skyscrapers and puckered asphalt streets. The trauma of consumption has wrecked the usual infrastructure: buildings are half collapses, or skeletal, vehicles are flipped and strewn across the layout. Whatever vegetation that is still clinging onto life has rejoiced under the return of normal sunlight.
You can breathe. It isn't too hot, or too cold -- it's unusually pleasant, in fact. The sunshine veins that light your world are not overwhelming. There is no blue sky to complement the atmosphere, and whatever water still in the City will be constrained to the bottled kind found in shops.
But there are other floating pieces of worlds, and they might have water. Or food.
If you live in the City, your possessions should still be in the City. While about 76% of the natives have fled the City (which had gotten the brunt of focus over the past week), there are still some natives who were too sick, too sentimental or too stubborn to leave.
You'll find that your powers work normally, though you can't teleport within Atropos. You probably wouldn't want to teleport outside of her, anyway.
She swallows, and the City gentle glides down a slick throat. Dust and particles create stunning visuals, like the aurora borealis, except in warmer colors. Light reflects so easily from solar veins and starstrewn flesh.
While you can breathe easily, gravity is fickle. Physics is often defied. Atropos was never one to play by the rules.

Self-preservation isn't an instinct that comes easily to Bradbury, at least for his own sake, but for other people? Yeah, that comes as natural as breathing. So he's out among the ruins of the City trying to see what he can dig up in the way of supplies. With the loss of the cold weather, he's elected to shed the ugly sweaters and his suit jacket in favor of loose denim and a fitted shirt, making him a little less easily identifiable as the Mayor's bodyguard -- though some would say the suit doesn't really do much for him anyway.
Water is his first priority, so he heads for where he think's its most likely to be found, the remnants of a sizable grocery store a few blocks away from where he ended up. It takes him longer than he'd like to find it, the City's landscape nearly unrecognizable as it is. ]
no subject
It doesn't surprise him that he's recognized, but he can't return the favor, so he simply nods in acknowledgement, then jerks his head at the things she's gathering up. ]
Getting supplies?
no subject
Well, not quite.
It was close, but his own personal hell was, well, a lot more personal.
But close, this was. The mayor of the City, at a dead sprint, being followed by -- yes, it was a 9 foot tall naked man. With an acid-spitting toaster for a head.
Honestly, running was a pretty good tactic, all things considered. ]
no subject
His head shot up, and he caught sight, but he just kept running, trying not to bring the thing too close to her. ]
Wait until you see it spit aci--
[ Just on cue, there it went, like toast popping out, there was the telltale pop of the sides jerking back into ready, and then acid flew out of the slits where normally there would be toast.
The mayor of what was once the City had to dodge, which meant he just moreover fumbled and rolled on the ground trying to get out of the way. ]
no subject
Then again, what would a man with a toaster for a head say? Especially one that was naked? It was probably best that he didn't talk to it. ]
Shit, watch out!
[ The thing recoiled, before sliding, and then trying to kick at her head, the handles sliding down, meaning he was about to spit acid again soon, once the internal timer ran out. ]
