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.

[Lancer crosses his arms into a slightly standoffish posture.]
And I suppose you count yourself as neither?
[Sure she seemed fine now. But when Lancer had seen her plummeting out of the sky just moments earlier you could have fooled him.]
Perhaps I should not have wasted the effort to aid you?
no subject
She blinks a number of times as she digests this information, trying to process it correctly. ]
We're... friends?
[ It comes out more surprised than intended. ]
no subject
[Crossing his arms, his tone is dangerously close to pouting.]
But we've been stuck in the same situation for some time now. I should think that makes us... Companions. Of a sort.
no subject
Alright, that works for me, but don't get too cozy.
Now, first thing's first: what's the last thing you remember before we ended up in here?
no subject
Well, aside from the rampant apocalypse... [His face goes hard.]
A giant maw.
no subject
[ She hit her head hard, but that was after. ]
It's like it knew where imPorts were concentrated. I'm hoping most got out before it was too late.
no subject
I don't think those that got out of the city were better off.
[He turns to fix her with a stoney expression.]
The world... I don't think there is anything left of it besides what you see.
no subject
If I could see.
[ Worlds will live, worlds will die.
It's happening all over again. ]
My vision can't get even a glimpse of what's going on in the outside world.
